Four years later

The music wasn't that loud but it was still loudish. I was bobben my head along as I poured the coffee into cups and went to give them to he customers and got the money. I was now twenty, going twenty-one soon and life was great. I held two jobs that I enjoyed doing, I was able to protect the streets in which I live by stacking all the bastered that deared to come here, so I so before I became a house, I hunted, and now the streets were safe and no Storgi ever came here again. I lived in a four bed roomed house, and I rented out two rooms to friends.

"Times up Rose!" yelled my boss pulling my out of my trance and I smiled at him, taking off my apron and going to my locker. my phone was bussing when I got to my locker and I pulled it out checking the caller ID and smiled.

"Hey." I smiled

"Were home now, so see you in a few hours?" asked one of my room mates, James. he was a good friend and always had my back.

"yeah, I only have to do two hours at the club so I should be back at nine, and then I get the next few months off for Lissa's birthday." He laughed and we said our goodbyes and I got in my car and drove to the club and took my position as bouncer. the best one if anyone says anything. I smiled.

I did miss my old life, but my heart nevr truly mended. I needed Dimitri and Lissa and my old friends, but I ad to move on for their own sakes. I hope they have, because I haven't checked the bond in the last year. Lissa was queen and was getting married to Christian, she was happy but she still missed me. I I sighed and concentrated on my job.

Today was my babies birthday. I got up and made pancakes and placed all her presents on the table. well, her prestents from me that is, the rest will be at the party I was trowing for her. she trodded into the kitchen and sat down and I placed the pancakes infront of her and she smiled. I sat down strocking her hair and smiling. she pulled a fork full of pancakes and made me eat them, but I held the fork with my teeth and she laughed.

"Mommy! your not meant to do that." for a four year old she was tall, she got that from her father. she ahd his eyes and hair but had my skin tone and nose. I smiled at her and left her pull the fork from my mouth and did the same for her and she laughed.

"James, Nelson!" I yelled at my two room mates and they walked in wearing a…. bunny suit? "Why?" I laughed and so did Lissa.

"Anyway, don't answer that." I said when they opened thir mouth. "Come on, lets get dressed for your party." I smiled as she laughed and ran into her room. I helped her put on her pink and white checkered dress and it had a bow at the back, it was adorable. I put her hair into a pony tail and tied it with a ribbon. she smiled as she finished and ran out to the living room where she was jumping up and down on the couch.

"Mommy! Hurry!"

"Okay, I'm hear." I said sitting down and she reached her first prestent. it was a locket and it had a picture of each of her name sakes. she smiled and I put it on her and next her opened a box, I placed my chain of the lust carm in. she looked opened mouthed at me.

"Mommy!" she said tryign to give it back but I put it around her neck.

"Your daddy gave this to me, and now, I'm giving it to you." she smiled as I said it and looked at me.

"You wont leave me like Daddy left you, would you?" I shook my head and she hugged me. soon after that I went up to get myself dressed as she watched telly. the part was at three and it was half one so I was going to get ready.

I took a shower, shaving and washing and then waxed my legs. I did my make up, then my hair. my eyes were smoky and nude lipgloss, and my hair was puffed up at the back and a plait going across my head, and pulled the rest of my hair t the side and curled it.

I got dressed into my dress. it was a short black dress, with one sleeve that was puffy and one shoulder. I grabbed my silver heels and clutch and pt my stake, keys and phone in my bag and walked out.

"Mommy? why can't I be as pretty as you?" she pouted and I smiled at her.

"You are beautiful baby." I took her hand and put her in her car seat. She laughed as we went to her goodbye party. She said goodbye to her friends and I did the same, putting Jim, my helper in the club I own, in charge of the studio club while I was away. After we said our good byes, I quickly changed into shorts and a tight tank top and taking Lissa's hand, we walked to my car. We got in the back and waved everyone goodbye, and promised to keep in touch. Jim looked in the rear view mirror at me and smiled sadly.

"You going to be alright?" he asked and I nodded. He was like me, but unpromised and understood me. I told him what had happened and ho I got here so he understood my pain. I smiled sadly back at him and rested my hand on Lissa's head, she had fallen asleep as we drove.

"I'm doing this for her, I'll be alright." I sighed as I picked Lissa out of the car and Jim took our two bags. We went throw sacrity and we were on the plane. Lissa was afried of flying so I took the window seat and she snuggled to me as we began taking off. We waved at Jim, and headed back to my old life. A tear fell from my eyes, and I check Lissa, for the first time in a year, through the bond.

"It's been four years, can't you all just give up?" Tesha said as Lissa looked at a map that had places crossed off and circled and underlined and everything. My parents, and old friends stood around the Map behind Queen Lissa.

"I will NOT stop looking for my best friend!" Lissa was getting really mad and I felt guilty. It wasn't just a year that have checked on her, it was a year I haven't taken any of her darkness.

"She left you! That's hardly what a good friend would do! And had she contacted you at all? Does she even remember the bond you too have? Because I know she hasn't checked it in what? A year? Longer?" tesha was getting on Lissa's nerves and Christian was rubbing her shoulders and I couldn't take it any longer.

All the darkness that was surrounding her, left her body and went into mine. She sighed happily and looked at Tesha, almost smirking.

"She hasn't forgotten me!" she snapped at her, and then looked back at everyone and opened her mouth to talk but I cut her off.

I'm so sorry, Liss.

Lissa squeeled and was so happy. She was jumping up and down and everyone looked worried, even Alberta.

"She's talking to me! She talked to me!" everyone was yelling by now and there was a course of "is she alright?" or "Where is she?" but the biggest one was "what did she say?" Lissa laughed happily and sighed.

"I don't know if she's alright, but-"

I'm alright.

"She's alright. And I don't know where she is." she waited for me to say something, and I did, but it wasn't what she was looking fr.

I'm not telling you, Liss.

Lissa growled softly and sighed.

"She said she was sorry." tears formed in all of their eyes.

Tell them I love them all, and I love you Liss, I'm so sorry I left.

" She said she loves you all." tears fell from her eyes and she began talking to me.

Rose please tell me where you are?

I sighed.

Liss I can't. I left so you could be better then you are. You don't need my rep. holding you back.

Lissa sighed this time.

Rose, I love you, and I will never stop looking for you and I wont, not until found you.

Tears formed in my eyes and I could feel Lissa shake me.

Bye Liss.

I could hear her cry out to me and tell me to stay but I couldn't, so I came back to my own body.

"Mommy, we're here!"

Lissa was jumping up and down and my heart stung fort he first time in two years, for loss. Her namesake, her eyes and hair, remnded me off them. I bit my lip as we walked off the plane and I got our bags and got a cab to drop us off a block away from Court, and I bit my lip to stop me from running back with Lissa.

Your doing this for her. She wants to know who her namesake is, and who her grandparents are.

"Your daddy's going to be here too, Baby." I said looking down at her as she clung to my hand.

She shrugged, "I don't care, he left you, so he left me." I sighed and we began walking to Court.
