A/N- sry for not updating sooner been really busy lots of drama in my life right now, but here you go, the latest chapter.(:

RPOV- I made my way to the front door, I opened it and glanced around for Xavi I found him standing in front of a door with intricate lines and drawings on it. once he saw me look at him he turned and walked into the room. I followed uneasily.

I stopped dead in my tracks as soon as entered the room. it was pitch black.

"are you sacred?" I heard a silky evil voice ask in my ear. I jumped and spun around at the surprising sound .

"n..no" I said still trying to shake off the chills that his voice gave me.

"your lying, anyone who wishes to be strong first has to have a strong mind. to be able to face fear and laugh at it weakness." he said. my eyes were still trying to find him even though I knew it was pointless I would not be able to see my hand if it was right in front of me.

something rushed behind my back causing my to jump and turn.

"focus! do not get distracted, now tell me why are you scared?" he said

"I.. don't know" I said truthfully.

"yes you do, now TELL ME!" he said so loud it echoed off the walls of the room.

"I DON'T KNOW" I yelled back feeling panicked.

"yes you do, why is your body shaking and every one of your senses running on high? why? "

I closed my eyes and concentrated on my feelings, it was there, fear, it was telling me I was in danger.

"I am afraid that I might be in danger." I said slowly not knowing if that was the right answer.

"good, now why are you in danger, who is causing it."

I closed my eyes aging, and thought. I knew the answer I was afraid of him and being with him in the dark unable to protect myself.

"I don't know." I said, lying.

"NEVER LIE TO ME GIRL! now tell me!" he said right in my ear I jumped forward and spun around aging.

maybe I should just tell the truth I have nothing to lose, I think..

"im afraid of being in the dark whit a Strigoi, and not having anything to protect myself with." I said.

"Good, now why are of afraid of me?" the question caught me off guard even though I had pretty much just told him I was scared of him I did not expect him to push me this far. but, still I closed my eyes and thought just past the basic of he was just plain scary and dissected the fear I felt to find its root, then I found it…

" I don't trust you, i am vulnerable around you, and I am afraid you will hurt me. that's why I am scared."

"mmm, now tell me are you still scared?" that's when I noticed it, I had stopped shaking, I was calm and collected my body was not afraid i had gotten over my fear.

"no." I said holding my head high even if he could not see it having my head high made my proud that I was stronger than my fear.

"that's it for today, grant wants to see you go down to the basement you will find him there."

DPOV-*I woke up and found myself bound by chains in a cell, with the man who called himself Salem standing in front of me.

"You know if you would have behaved, and stayed away from rose until I sent her to find you this would have been a lot easier for both of us, because see now you have to start suffering sooner."*

"what do you mean." I asked.

" you see I have watched rose for a long time, since she ran away with the princess actually, and yes she was a bit reckless but at the end of the day she was strong and got the job done. Then you and your so called 'guardians' came and took them back. that's when you started working with her, I loved her change in strength and control she was doing amazing. then when you left she changed yet aging but this time not for the better, in fact she much worse than ever before, but im sure you know that," he said giving me a knowing look before continuing." she was just pure reckless throwing her life away just to get over the pain of you. That is when I decided to take her under my wing and train her myself, she will be the strongest dhampir the world will EVER know. and her last test will be to kill you to get rid of that last bit of fear she has left." he said.

"so what are you going to do when she won't kill me, because I know my Roza and she won't are love is to strong." I said glaring at him.

"Oh, but remember, you left her. you would be surprised at how much that can hurt such a young girl such as herself and what they will do to get revenge." then he turned and walked out of the room.

SPOV-

as I left the room and was walking to my garden I ran into Xavi, "Already done with her training today?"

"yes, she did well. I will warn you now she still does not trust us so do not be surprised if she betrays us." he said to me truthfully.

I laughed, "ah, dear old friend do not fret, one of our girls would never do that, well not after their training is done at least."I said to him smiling.
