Previously:

"I was so worried Rose. Don't you dare do that to me again." Lissa was hugging me so hard; she could have been mistaken for a dhampir, maybe even a strogoi.

She finally pulled away and looked straight at my eyes.

"You better explain. What is up with you? Where is my Rose?" She was on the verge of crying, and it was all my fault, but she was trying to be strong for me.

"Sit down, your gonna have to."

Rose POV

"Umm...you remember when we were in Spokane and Mason died?" They all bowed their heads and nodded, Eddie flinched of the mention of his best friend.

"Well, it all started when Mason came back inside while I was fighting the strogoi. After I killed Isaiah, I got nauseous and before I could turn around, a strogoi stabbed me on the back with a sword that I dropped by Isaiah's body. I died then and there and I was taken to the between world.

I begged the council to let me back to the living world and live my life. They finally agreed but under conditions and there is only one reason they let me come back.

I can bring them more souls to them then if I was died.

The conditions were kinda harsh though. I had to let seven different souls live in my soul. One moroi for each element and two of them are strogoi.

Veronica Dragomir is who you saw in the plane, she controls spirit.

Sabrina Ozera is who you saw when I was fighting the strogoi with fire.

Vanessa Dashkov is an earth user.

Katlin Rinaldi controls water, you will see her soon.

Julia Ivashkov is an air user.

Crystal Conta and Shyna Sluth are both strogoi, originally a moroi and dhampir.

Whenever I use an element, they always show themselves."

"Here follow me and I will show you." I got up and walked through the forest. It took us a good thirty minutes with the moroi when we finally reached the meadow.

I turned to look at them once I was in the middle of the field and faced them while they sat right in front of me like preschoolers.

I called spirit to me and Veronica came out. Everybody was shocked and I was in Lissa's head and see me looking like Lissa twin; platinum blond hair with jade green eyes. I looked really delicate.

I pulled out of her head and called fire, Sabrina came out. For fun I wanted to know what I looked like so I slipped inside Lissa's mind and what I looked like was a shocker (that statement is dripping with sarcasm.) I looked like Christian except for the hair ;it was a fiery red with icy blue eyes. And let me tell you I looked fierce.

I called Vanessa without pulling out of Lissa's head this time and I looked like a Dashkov. Lissa was remembering times when we got taken back to 's, I reminded her of her cousin and uncle; with the jet black hair and emerald eyes. I looked really gentle. I hated looking like that! Note to self: use earth less than any other element.

Katlin came next and I looked like Mia; blond curly hair with periwinkle eyes and my completion was soft, and fragile Mia gasped at this, I could have been her sister, secretly Katlin is Mia's older sister but left before Mia was born and is a 'disgrace' to the Rinaldi family.

Last but not least, I called Julia and I swear Adrian took a sharp inhaled breath.

I had light brown hair and sharp forest green eyes and had an aristocratic look. I mean look at the Ivashkov family, they are the largest royal family and have more Kings and Queens in the royal history that actually made an impact.

I pulled out of Lissa's head and I went back to my regular self. I took a step forward and sat down Indian style and put my elbows on my knee and rest my chin on my hand looking at them with an amused smile on my lips.

"How's that for dangerous? Huh fire boy?" I attempted to raise an eyebrow, and BOOM. I finally learned how to do it! WOW if this is all that needed to happen for me to learn I would have done it earlier.

I jumped up in joy and pumpped my fist in the air and did my victory dance. I could finally raise my eyebrow.

"I can finally do it bitches, now you can't laugh at me." I pointed my finger at Christian and Adrian.

"What?" They asked in confusion together. I raised my eyebrow at them and I ponited at my eyebrow and said, "That."

I could dance all day of my accompishment, but I had to continue my story.

"Okay, so after I agreed to these terms, I was brought back to life." Suddenly I was pulled into the memory.

/Flashback/

I woke up with a gasp after accepting the terms from the council. I looked down and I kept changing between eight people, later finding out that I was changing from me to Julia, to Sabrina, then Katlin, then Vanessa to Veronica, to Crystal then Shyna, lastly going back to my complection and going back in that order.

My body was getting use to these changes, and within thirty minutes, I was finally back to Rose Hathaway.

I looked for Mason and I mourned for my best friends death. I would not let go of him, he did not deserve to die. But hey, people do crazy things for love, and Mason loved me, too bad I couldn't return my feelings back then.

Eventually the guardians from the ski lodge came and pried me from Mason's body. I couldn't feel my body, I was numb, I couldn't even deciper the voices trying to get my attention.

Only one thing was in my mind, I should have protected Mason. How could I let him die? I was guilty, I felt as if it was my whole fault.

I remember them taking me to the clinic, but why?

They were frantically running around and put needles in my arm. I vaguely recognized the doc and my friends beside the door, worring over me.

I looked down and I saw blood on my shirt and a hole in my chest, the sword narrowly missed my heart by an inch or two.

They rushed my to the emergency room, I was dying for the second time today.

I relized that they do not heal wounds you recieve to get there but they do give you a second chance, you don't feel the pain and they make it so that you get help in time and they slow the dying part for you. But they can not heal any wounds, they don't deal with those kind of things.

/Present/

"Wait, you are telling me that you died two more times?" Asked Christian.

"Didn't I say that not to long ago?" I replied back.

"Yes, but I just...never mind." Christian muttered the last part, but I still heard him with my strogoi hearing.

"We should be going back to the house, they could be coming back any moment." I just started shockingly at Dimitri. Did he not just moments ago see me kick some strogoi ass by myself?

"Fine, whatever." I muttered as I stood up and dusted my pants and made our way to the house.

I am sorry that I said that I would update this chapter like three weeks ago.

I was sick that week that I said I would update then exams the next week and I had to catch up in homework last week.

I will trying to update sooner, I have not lost interest in this story.
