Thanks for the reviews (:
No one's said anything bad (:

How do you guys like the idea of a two way bond? Cause that's what I decided Lissa and Rose should have LOL... I probably should have asked you before the last chapter but oh well :p

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters D:

They are merely my puppets hehehehe ;)

I would have to start out using her limited knowledge of the 'red eyes' for her to even begin to understand. Would she think I was making the whole thing up? No, I didn't think she would. She would be glad I wasn't keeping things from her. She sat on her bed, I sat on mine and we both looked at each other. Her eyes, they were so beautiful – deep, chocolate brown.

"What's up?" she asked breaking my trance.

"I think you should know the full truth, I mean, you remember everything but even before you came here you didn't know why those things were happening to you. Would you like to?" Understanding crossed her features, like she knew, or at least guessed at what I was talking about.

"You mean the red eyes, like from my dreams, don't you?" I nodded at her gauging her response. "What are they?"

"Strigoi" I whispered. "Lissa and others, they're moroi. Strigoi are evil vampires, soulless, the living dead, whereas moroi, they are good vampires and they influence magic. They don't kill for blood and can sustain on normal food. And then there are people like you and me. We're dhampir's – half human, half moroi and we fight against the evil vampire's." Ok, so it was a basic run-down of everything, but I didn't want to continue until I knew how she was dealing with this.

"Why?" I wish I knew why. They come first – that's what we were taught, but why? She posed a very good question.

"It's what we do. We're stronger than moroi so we protect them. The strigoi are stronger when they feed off moroi and we have to stop them, its law in our world." I frowned; it wasn't a very good law. "Can I ask you something Rose? It's probably a bit of a touchy subject and I apologise, but –"

"Shoot" she whispered cutting me off.

"How many strigoi were there when, when –" when what Dimitri? When her adoptive parents were killed, when her friends were killed, when the academy barely found her in time? "When everything happened?" she looked deep in thought, as if remembering it all again, her mind running through every little detail.

"I don't know, too many." She was talking to me but I knew she wasn't fully here, still lost in her memories, so I waited until she was fully present to continue.

"It's unusual for them to work in large numbers, but for sixteen years, that's what they've been doing, banding together for one ultimate goal. You're quite well known in our world, you and your mother both are."

"My mother would have told me" she whispered in denial. I went over to sit next to her, looking her in the eyes and holding her hands in mine.

"Roza, you have to listen to me, and believe me. Remember I'm here for you, remember that. Your real mother's name is Janine Hathaway and she is literally the best dhampir there is. She has a dangerous reputation amongst the strigoi and she wanted nothing more than to keep you safe, so she gave you up. She did a good job at keeping you safe, you always had guardians watching you and as you got older they watched over you and your friends, but they were never a match for an army. The strigoi want you" I whispered watching a tear fall down her cheek. I didn't want to continue, but she needed to know the truth, she needed to accept the truth so she would be able to help us protect her. "They want to eliminate the dhampir's and know the only way to do that is to eliminate your real mother, and from your fighting capabilities, you. But I want you to know, you will be protected wherever you go, and we, no I will teach you how to kill them and I'm not going to let anything happen to you. You're going to be great, it's on your blood." She didn't speak for a while and I still held her hands in mine

"So everybody I love, they died because of me?" she eventually said, choking on the words.

"Oh no, no and don't you ever think that." I knew how she felt. I had been in her shoes once. Lost everybody I ever loved and I blamed myself for months. "I know what it's like to lose everybody you've ever loved." I whispered it so softly I though she wouldn't hear, but she did. She squeezed my hands and looked away from my intense gaze.

"What happened?"

"I was transferred here for a month from my old academy in Russia, only I never got to go home. While I was here, my family was attacked, the whole neighbourhood was, but no one else died – just my family."

"But you weren't the cause of the attack" she said harshly, then softer, as if realising what she'd said only after she'd said it she added, "Sorry, sorry I didn't mean it." I wiped the tears away from her face. "What am I supposed to do about this? I can't fight them, they nearly killed me. Lissa, she's the only reason I'm even alive."
"Rose, you can do this. I know you can. Lissa and I will help you in whatever you need. Believe it or not, but you're who our world has been waiting for."

"I'm sixteen and only just found out what I am. How could they be waiting for me?" I didn't have an answer for her question. She looked back up into my eyes. "What if I'm the one that places an impending doom on all of you?" I smiled at her. She wasn't going to run, she wasn't going to cry or throw a tantrum, and she believed me and everything I said. She knew, deep down she knew that she really was everything I said she was and that she lived in a different world to the simple one she had been in a mere week ago.

"Let's worry about that if it ever happens." She smiled at me.

"So, tell me more about the moroi and their magic."

Sooooooo

What do you guys think? You think I should change some parts of it? I'm not sure how the whole 'the strigoi are after you' thing went down.

R&R please (:
