we opened the door and walked in. my guardians, plus Christian's and Abe's and Janine and Alberta.

"When did you last see her?" I demanded at Dimitri. his eyes were red from crying but his face was stony as he was feeding Lissa.

"When she left. She and Lissa were taking a walk." my eyes fleered.

"And you did go with her?" I demanded and he stood.

"Well I'm sorry, I should go baby sit a twenty-one year old woman who has taken down more then 5oo hundred, Strigoi! so I apologue for not thinking she needed protection." I was taken aback by his words. he took a deep breath and turned and continued to feed his daughter. "Sorry." he mumbled. I shook my head.

"How was she taken?" Dimitri sighed.

"They were out for a walk and stoorgi came out f now were and took Lissa, said that if Rose went with them she would be safe." he sighed and looked at me. "She'd do anything for her." Lissa was finished eating so Dimitri picked her up and held her close just as Lissa clung to him.

"Well work on it." I saw Dimitri nod.

I snapped out of Liss's head and sighed.

"We are being looked for." Anora snorted.

"You mean YOUR been looked for, no one knows we're gone." I looked at her sadly.

"Anora, don't think like that." the door above us opened heavily. The girls ducked behind me, using me as a shield. I looked back at them and smiled. It was just a mere human.

"Well looks like they did what they were told." I snorted. He thought he was all big because the Strigoi got me here.

"Well, good luck with keeping us here." the man laughed this time.

"Oh, Rose! The funny thing, if you leave, say good-bye to these kids, and your own." I growled. The man laughed.

"Keep that feistiness up, it's a good turn on." I practically gagged when he left. The girls started to laugh and I smiled at them.

One- gets these kids out of here before me!

DPOV

I was in a group with Alberta, Janine, Abe and two of his guardians. Lissa was with my mama, now. I wish I could be with her. She just lost her Mom and she needed her Dad. I sighed and listened to what Janine was saying. If you didn't really know her well you could say she wasn't hurting that she was strong, but if you knew her, you could see she was hurt and broken. She was missing her daughter.

We were taking where Rose was found and the others were asking around. I went off on my own, not wanting the company of anyone when I saw footprints in bedded in the forest bed of mush and leaves.

I walked on, not caring that I as meat to tell everyone if I found something. I just kept walking until I came to a cabin. I approached it but before I went in I grabbed my walky-talky.

"Hathaway, Petrov!" there was mumbled voices telling me to continue on the other side. "Were I was looking, there is a set of footprints leading to a cabin. follow them, and you'll see were I am. I'm going in."

"Be careful Belikov." Petrov said. I snorted and walked in. stake in my hand. I walked in and everything looked normal. I sighed when I didn't find anything. the rest of the group came in and swept the place too but found nothing. we left with a sigh.

where are you Roza?

RPOV

there was one pair of footprints trotting along the roof above are heads. Anora and Riley clung to me as I listened kept them quiet. the one pair of footprints soon changed into about six pairs. Anora and Riley clung to me tighter as they left.

I didn't talk for another five minutes after the footprints left.

"Nothing to worry about." they nodded but had tears in their eyes. I smiled and they buried their faces into my chest. my smile soon faded.

Where are you Dimitri?

VikaPOV

I had Little Lissa in my arms and I walked into the kitchen to get her something to eat. Dimitri came back and said there was no luck. I sighed and put Lissa down on the counter as I opened the fridge to get her a juice. when I closed it Yava was standing there- as if she was there the whole time. I jumped. I couldn't help it.

"Look at what you have Viktoria. you're so blind as to not know what to look for." then she left. I looked after her confused. I handed Lissa her juice and took another in for Rosie.

I couldn't help but play my grandmothers word in my head.

Look at what I have? I'm not blind?

I shook my head that night. pushing it out of my head as I fell asleep.

DPOV

I was sitting at the kitchen table. everyone went to sleep, but I as still up, head in hands.

"You were close today. don't look up and you'll find what you seek." I looked up and found Yava looking at me. then she left. just left. I sighed loudly but listened to them words. she was always right. always. there was never a time when she wasn't.

I sighed as my mother walked down the stairs.

"Dimka go to bed. you can't do anything when your tired." I reluctantly nodded and went up the stair to Rose's and my room. I put Lissa in this room with me but she was in her room now.

I grabbed Rose's pillow and it smelled like her. my tears stained the pillow as I fell into a dreamless slumber.
