Chapter 7:

(Lissa P.O.V)

"Why do you look so sad, sis?" a voice I haven't heard in forever asked.

Moving my hands away from my face to see my older brother Andre looking down at me with concern. Standing up, I ran toward him. Throwing my arms around his neck, I hugged him tightly to me. All these years I had to live without him and our parents.

"Andre, I miss you so much!" I cried into his neck. "Why did you have to die? I couldn't I save you and our parents?"

"Liss, you can't save everyone in world."

Even after his death, Andre is still the same wise big brother I'll always know and love. Wiping my eyes with the back of my hand, I start to feel warmth in my heart that turned cold after the car accident.

"We both know there's a question you want an answer to," Andre continued, leading me to a park bench that faces a beautiful, clear pond. "Why don't you tell me what's on your mind."

Taking a deep breath, I start by telling him about what happened at Rose's and Dimitri's wedding to me wanting to tell Rose that her daughter and friend were kidnapped and no one knows where they are, but that I'm too scare of the out come.

"If you really love Rose then you should tell her," Andre said, putting an arm around me. "They have a right to know that their little girl was kidnapped. It's better if they hear it from you than someone else. Maybe they can help."

"I really want to tell them, but I'm scared they might hate me," I told him, feeling even more horrible that I keep putting it aside.

"You never know unless you try."

He's right, I do need to tell them before it's too late. But, do I tell over the phone or wait until they get back?

Guessing my thoughts, Andre said, "don't wait. Go to them."

With that, my dream started to fade away.

"I love you, Lissa," I heard him say before my dream completely vanished.

Opening my eyes, I saw I was back in my bedroom with Christian and Tyler fast asleep next to me. Knowing what I need tomorrow, I laid back down to get a good night sleep. Tomorrow's going to a big day for all of us.

"Lissa," Tyler said, poking my cheek with his little finger. "Lissa, the sun down. Time to get up. Sparky, making pancakes."

It's morning already?! Turning in my bed, I reach for my cell phone on the night stand. Great, it's morning! Lissa, it's now or never. Sighing, I got out of bed with a super happy Tyler hopping down the hall. I still don't know if I'm going to tell Christian or not.

This is something I have to do on my own. No matter how much I want him there with me, this is my journey to do whatever I can to keep my friendship with my best friend/sister.

"Christian," I said, coming into the kitchen. "I need you to watch Tyler. I have to go somewhere today."

"Where are you going, Liss?" he asked, getting plates out of the cabinet.

I'm going to the West Coast where Rose and Dimitri are at. "I can't say," I said instead. "Sorry."

"When are you leaving?"

"After breakfast."

"I hungry," Tyler said, placing his little hands on his hips and scrunching up his nose. "I have pancakes now, please?"

Smiling, I ruffled his silk-like, dark brown hair. Sitting down at the kitchen table, I picked at my food instead of eating it while Tyler shove as much pancakes as he can in his mouth. It's looking watching a mini-Rose!

Rose. My best friend. My sister. My guardian. My everything. Someone who's been by my side since day one. Someone I can trust with my life. Someone who I can't live without. Someone I can't have hate me.

After breakfast, I took a quick shower and got dressed. Heading to Sonya's apartment with my guardians following close behind me. Needing to get the necklace she made for Rose and going to see Eddie before heading on my journey.

Knocking on the door, I waited for someone to answer it. Opening the door was Sonya's and her husband Mikhail's little boy, Gabriel.

"Hi, Gabriel," I said, smiling at him. "Is your mom here?"

"Yeah, she's here," he answered. "I'll go get her."

Coming to the door was a worried Sonya. "What can I do for you, hon?"

"I need the necklace you made for Rose," I answered, not getting into details.

Nodding her head in understanding, Sonya went back in her apartment to retrieve the necklace. Taking deep breathes as I waited outside her door. Coming back a few minutes later, Sonya handed me the necklace. Putting it in my jacket pocket, I gave her a tight hug.

"You'll be fine," she whispered, smiling warmly at me. "Speak from your heart and she'll understand."

After thanking her the necklace and advice, I went to see Eddie who was walking down the hallway toward me.

"Christian told me you were leaving," he said, concern filled his hazel eyes.

"I'm going to see Rose and Dimitri," I told him. "And I think you need to come with me."

"You're going to tell them."

It was more of a statement than a question.

"They need to hear it from us, not someone else."

"You're right," he agreed, walking next to me as we head for the jets. "Did you tell them we're coming?"

(Eddie P.O.V)

Talking her silence as a no, we quietly climbed into the jet. Taking our seats, I saw how nervous Lissa is. Placing my hand on top of hers, I squeezed it. Letting her know she's not in this alone.

How in world are we suppose to prepare for what's to come?

A number of things can happen.

Wishing things would like this: Lissa and I show up unexpectedly. Rose and Dimitri are happy to see us. We go into their house while the guardians stay in the rental car. We talk about how they been doing then we dump the news on them. They're worried, we all go back to court and find Rosalie and James.

What I'm guessing would happen: It's the same as the first one, but instead of Rose and Dimitri being concern. They'll be outright angry at everyone who knows about Rosalie and James being kidnapped. They'll probably hate Lissa and I for not telling them and I'm guessing you can image the rest. A furious Dimitri, a pissed off Rose and a worried Lissa and Eddie.

"Do you think everything will be alright?" Lissa asked, braking my thoughts. "Do you think they'll hate us?"

Looking at her, I saw she was about to cry for fear of losing her best friend. Wrapping my arm around her shoulder, I squeezed her tightly.

"I don't know what's going to happen," I said honestly. "We'll just have to wait and see."

After a few hours of flying, the jet finally landed. Taking deeps breathes as we climbed off. Heading into the rental car, we made our way toward Rose and Dimitri. Driving down a long road toward the house where all secrets must be broken. As we came closer to it, I felt my heart beating faster inside my chest.

Why am I so nervous? It's just Rose and Dimitri. Yeah, two people who I care a lot about. I mentally rolled my eyes at myself. It's now or never. Feeling Lissa's small hand squeeze mine as we stopped in front of the house.

"Please, stay in here," Lissa said to the guardians. "This is something we have to do alone. I'll be fine."

Looking like they were about to protest, but thought better of it. I mean Lissa is going to be in a house with three guardians that will do anything to protect her. Opening the car door, I helped Lissa get out.

"Ready?" I asked in a low voice, eyeing her.

"Ready."

Going up to the front door, I knocked. A few minutes passed and Lissa rang the door bell. Hearing noise from inside to the house, I moved so I in front Lissa. Opening the door was a tired, but confused Dimitri. Motioning for us to come in, he closed the door behind him.

"As happy as I am to see you both..." Dimitri said, looking from Lissa and to me. "Why are you here?"

Lissa and I both looked at each other then back at Dimitri. How in world did we get ourselves in this mess?

"Lissa. Eddie. Whatever it is, just come out and say it," Dimitri said, crossing his arm over his broad chest; clearly getting mad that we woke him up.

"Well..." I started, looking at my hands.

Man, I never been this nervous in a while. I hate how he can make me go from calm to outright nervous.

"Rosalie and James are kidnapped!" Lissa blurted out as a sleepy Rose walked into the living room.

When she saw us, her face turned from sleepy to happy. "Lissa! Eddie!" Wrapping her arms around us in a hug. "I miss you guys!"

Obviously she didn't hear Lissa or she wouldn't be hugging us right now.

"Roza," Dimitri said, clearly he heard and is not very happy about it.

Turning away from Lissa and me, Rose embraced the safety of her lovers arms. Now that they're both awake, it's time to get down to business.

Good luck Lissa and Eddie! You'll need it!

Thanks(:
