Hey everyone! Thanks everyone who review since last time. Sorry about the link that I had at the bottom of the last chapter. I have put the link to Rose's dress on my profile. Hope you guys like this one, sorry it's so short, I've just been busy with school and what not. So don't forget to review! Enjoy!

When Verona had returned to the party, she walked over towards the others. Aleera had a scowl on her face when she first saw her. Marishka didn't look all too enthusiastic either.

"Is she asleep my dear?"

"Yes master. She put up a little bit of a fight wanting to rejoin us, but sleep got ahold over her."

"Why does she get to be her mother?"

"Aleera, please, I'm not extremely happy about it either, but it was Rose's choice, not ours."

"Why do you always try to make things seem never as bad as they are, Marishka?"

"Because, I don't try dweling on the past and letting my emotions dictate my actions, like some people do," she retorted back as she glared at her. Aleera let out a small hiss.

'That is enough," Dracula said in a firm tone. He looked at both of them whose eyes were still locked on eachother.

"You two aren't out of her life."

They both turned their heads towards Verona looking confused. "You two could be like aunt figures to her."

"I suppose…" Marishka said a little down hearted.

"It's not as great as being her mother. I wanted a daughter, not a niece."

"If you aren't happy Aleera then you can just be the aunt who doesn't care."

Aleera started muttering to herself. She didn't want to be left on the sidelines, for she had started to like Rose and plus she didn't like the idea of being left out.

"Then it's settled," Dracula said to put the matter to rest.

"Master, how long are we going to stay at the castle?" Marishka asked, trying to get her mind off of what had just happened.

"A month or so. It has been so long since we had been here, that I think we leave an impresson that will make sure we are never forgoten." A smirk came across his face. Marishka and Aleera became giddy with excitement, for they both knew what he meant.

The guests started to depart as it grew closer and closer to dawn. Once the last of their guests had left, Dracula and his brides each went to their rooms for the day.

As the final rays of sun light started to fall below the horizon, Rose jolted up with a start, excited still about everything that had happened the night before. She hopped out of bed and ran towards Verona's room. When she reached the door, she slowly opened the door and poked her head in to look around. Verona was still sleeping when Rose walked up beside her.

"Mother?"

Verona didn't move, so Rose tried to shake her.

"Mother?" she asked a little more irritated this time. Verona opened her eyes slightly. When she saw that it was Rose, she let out a small sigh.

"Rose, why must you wake me when it is still so early?"

"I couldn't sleep anymore." Verona groaned in annoyance for the amount of sleep she was being deprived. "I want to go flying," Rose said with excitement.

"Alright, alright, we can go," Rose started jumping up and down, "But, go ask your aunts if they want to go as well."

Without any hesitation, Rose ran out of the room and sped off in the direction of Marishka and Aleera's rooms. The first room that she reached was Marishka's. She quietly walked in over towards Marishka's coffin. As she slowly opened the lid, she saw that her aunt was still fast asleep. She tapped her on the shoulder, but Marishka simply roled over on her side. Rose then poked her a little harder, and it was enough to get Marishka to wake up.

"Rose, why are you up so early?"

"Mother and I were going to go flying, and she told me to ask if you wanted to come?"

Marishka thought to herself for a few seconds. "Oh, alright, I'll come along as well, but how about I come with you to ask your, Aunt Aleera, she isn't much of one to wake up early." Calling Aleera an aunt, was a whole new thing for Marishka, and it just felt akward.

Marishka got out of her coffin and streatched, but as soon as she was standing, Rose grabbed her hand and pulled her in the direction of Aleera's room. When they got there, Marishka carefully knocked on the door to see if Aleera was awake. There was no answer. Just as I thought Marishka said to herself.

"Wait here, I'll be right back," she told Rose before walking into Aleera's room. Marishka knew that Aleera had quite a temper, and that last night would only make it worse, so she decided that she should attempt to calm her before she tried to rip Verona's head from the rest of her body.

As she walked up next to Aleera's coffin, Marishka noticed that the lid was open, and that her sister was already awake. Aleera had her arms folded across her chest, scowling at the ceiling.

"How long have you been up?" Marishka asked.

"Too long."

"Doing what?"

Aleera simply glared at Marishka. She always hated when she kept asking annoying questions.

"You haven't answered my question."

"Thinking," Aleera said coldly.

"About what?"

"What do you think!"

Marishka, who was usually one to not be known for having a temper, let her anger and rage show itself. "Do you think that I haven't thought about it too? I wanted a daughter, just as much as you did, but Rose has made her decision and we can't change it now!"

Aleera sat up in her coffin. Her eyes were aflame, as if some eternal fire had been set in them by her anger. Then the unexpected happened. A small tear fell down from Aleera's eye. Aleera didn't seem to notice, for she was still scowling.

"Now look, I didn't come in here to make matters worse. I came in because Rose has a question for you, but I wanted to make sure that you weren't going to go psychotic on her."

Aleera let out a small sigh of frustration. "Fine," she said, "I think you have made your point. Bring her in."

"Rose," Marishka called towards the door. Rose then poked her head through the door. Marishka motioned for her to join them.

"Didn't you have something to ask your Aunt Aleera?" The name made Aleera slightly cringe.

"Mother, Aunt Marishka, and I were going to go flying, and I wanted to know if you wanted to come with?"

"Well, it has been awhile since I last fed. Why not? Besides, it's always fun to cause a little misery amongst the humans," she said snidely. A small grin slowly started to come across her face, the kind that only spelt out trouble.

The three then proceeded to head towards Verona's room. When they reached it, Rose ran toward's Verona's side.

"Mother, mother! Both Aunt Marishka and Aunt Aleera said they would come! Can we go now?" She was pulling Verona by the hand over towards the window.

"Alright, alright, just wait a moment, Rose. Do you even know where we are going?"

There was a long pause. Rose then hung her head, "No."

"That's what I thought. Now wait, all good things come to those who wait." Verona then turned towards Marishka. "I'll lead; you will be last, just to make sure that the other two don't get lost." Marishka noded in agreement. They were then off on their way.

As they were flying, Rose noticed that everywhere was covered in thick forrests. The trees coated the rolling hills, but most surprisingly to her was that there was not a single trace of snow. That wasn't the only thing that was different. The wind that was blowing through her hair didn't have the same icy bite that it used to back home. Instead, it was warm and almost comforting.

Soon, lights started to appear along the horizon. Rose then looked up ahead at Verona, who at that moment, started to decend. She followed closely, for she was not sure what they would do next.

They then landed behind one of the buildings that was on the outskirts of town. Verona turned towards the other two, "Shall we?"

"Oh let me, let me! I haven't gotten to start a riot in so long."

"Why don't we let Rose do it Aleera?"

The three then turned towards Rose.

"I don't want to go alone," Rose said very timidly. She looked up at Verona with big eyes.

"Aleera, go with her and show her how it is done." A sly smile was then seen on Aleera's face. She and Rose then quickly and quietly left the other two and went behind a house.

Aleera then held a finger up to her lips, to remind Rose that stealth was the key. Aleera then instructed Rose to go wait for her on the other side of the building. She did as she was instructed.

She looked around to notice that this village wasn't much different from the one back home. The houses were tightly packed against each other, only small roads separated the groups of houses. Small, flickering lights could be seen in some of the windows.

All was silent, until it was shattered by the peircing screams of people. Rose turned her head towards the sound, which was coming from inside the house, and saw the people running out towards her. She then saw that behind them was Aleera, blood already stained her lips and chin. She looked over at Rose, and motioned for her to proceed.

As her instincts started to kick in, Rose lost all sense of what she was doing. Bearing her fangs at her victims, all were captured by fear. They didn't stand still for more than a second, but it was a second to late. The shreeks of Marishka and Verona were heard in the air. Rose looked up to see her mother and aunt just above her, starting their dives down at the crowd that had started to form. As they turned their attention towards the vampires flying straight at them, Rose took a small girl by the arm and quickly depleted her of her blood and life. As she wiped the blood from her mouth, she looked at the girl she had just killed. The terror the girl had was still etched on her face.

Rose then flew up, and seated herself on one of the buildings. She watched intently as the others continued to dive at the towns folk. Rose noticed that they were so graceful while still being deadly.

It wasn't soon after that Rose noticed that the other three had stopped their chase and started to head back for the castle. Verona turned around in the air and waited for Rose to join them. On their way home, not much was said. When they reached the castle, and once they had landed in Verona's room, Aleera headed off to go be with Dracula, and Marishka headed off to the library, leaving mother and daughter alone.

As Verona looked down at Rose, she smiled to herself. "Rose, you are a mess. Come with me." She then took her by the hand and lead her over to her vanity. She then sat down and started to brush the knots out of Rose's hair that had formed from earlier that night. When she finished, she turned Rose around to look at her. She moved a strand of hair behind Rose's ear that had seemed to sneek away from the rest of her hair.

Verona then took Rose in her arms, picked her up, and placed her in her lap. Rose then leaned her head against her mother's chest. Verona started stroking her hair as she slowly closed her eyes, letting sleep take control of her.

Then in a faint whisper, "I love you Mommy."

Verona smiled and replied, "I love you too."

To which Rose replied, "I love you more."

Verona slightly chuckled at how Rose wanted the last word, but knew how to beat her at her own game. "I love you most." Verona then kissed her forehead, and for that moment, everything was perfect, but it was not to last.

So we are now at the begging of the end. Please, please, PLEASE review!
