thanks for reading and reviewing

Sorry for not updating sooner. I all of a sudden got swarmed with school work :/

For the rest of the night, Rose and her friends discussed where everyone would sleep. They all came up with the conclusion that Rose and Lissa would just share the bed while Christian slept on the couch. It seemed more reasonable that way, anyways. So, after Lissa had dried off and changed into warm clothes, they all decided to head to bed, since it was pretty late. Though, Rose couldn't sleep. Christian had mentioned to her that she was in danger when he first arrived and she wasn't able to get much out of him. How was she in danger? Rose had to find out now.

Getting up, she slowly got out of bed, trying no to disturb Lissa. Once she was safe, she sneaked into her living room, peering in. "Pst..." she whispered, trying to see if Christian was still awake, but when she wasn't answered back, she tip-toed closer to him. Looking down at his peaceful form, she reached down and poked his cheek.

Still no answer.

Rose got down on her knees and stared at him, sending him a little glare. Why are this boy so hard to wake up? She thought, giving his cheek another poke. Still nothing. Oh for Christ sake. Putting her hands on his shoulders and gave him a little shake. "Wake up, stupid!" She staged whispered into his ear.

Christian jerked awake, ready to fight for his life if he had to, though, when he saw Rose, he calmed down and simple just stared up at her, blinking. "What do you want?" His brows narrowed, confusion lacing his voice.

"Keep your voice down. Lissa is sleep." She hushed him as she looked over her shoulder before looking back at her old friend. "What did you mean when you told me I was in danger before?"

Christian sat up slowly, rubbing his eyes as he looked over at Rose. "What?" He yawned, still trying to wake up. "Oh... before. Well, you see... your mother went to some psychic and she got a reading that someone close to her would pass away... No, sorry, I shouldn't say that, what I meant was get hurt. Her thoughts instantly went towards you cause... well, you're the closest person to her, even though you two don't talk any longer."

Rose's eyebrows narrowed as she listen, chewing on her cheek. "But Janine isn't into that kind of thing... why all the sudden?"

Christian just shrugged. "You got me. She came to me right after and told me everything and then told me I had to get you home." He pursed his lips, knowing the task before him would be a hard one. "Or I will have to tell her where you're staying so she can come see you."

"NO!" Rose jumped at him, covering his mouth, though hers was the one that needed to be covered. Suddenly remembering about Lissa, Rose relaxed back on the floor and sighed, hoping she hadn't woken her up. "You can't tell her I am here. I came here just so I could get away from her."

"I know, Rose, but you're going t have t face her sometimes." Christian moved on the couch, creating a space for Rose to sit. Patting the spot next to him, he smiled lazily. Rose sighed, sitting down next to him. "Aw, Rosie, put a smile on that face of yours, for me?" He smiled, a real smile, and placed his arm around her, pulling her close to his chest. "Just like old time." He whispered, resting his cheek on her head.

"Yeah." She mumbled, nuzzling her head onto his shoulder, making herself comfortable as she drew her knees up to her chest. "I wish it was as simple as it used to be."

"Me too."

They sat in silence, Christian allowing Rose to get her thoughts together. Rose was confused and scared, though, she wouldn't usually admit that to herself. What drove Janine to go see a psychic in the first place? How was Rose supposed to get hurt and how? All bunch of questions ran through her mind, making her dizzy. She closed her eyes, trying to make the feeling go away. Rose knew that she had to go see her mother to get the real answers she wanted. But her stomach knotted up, making her feel sick.

"You can do it." Christian whispered into her hair, rubbing her arm, sensing her uneasiness.

"You'll come with me, right?" Rose looked up at him, frowning.

"Of course." He smiled down at her.

Rose smiled back. Christian always had made her feel better. Janine always thought the two were going to get married but Rose and Christian both agreed that they wouldn't since that would just be weird. They considered each other like brother and sister, always having each others back no matter what. And Rose loved that. It had broken her heart when she was forced to move away. She was afraid that she was never going to see her partner in crime anymore.

"Hey..." Rose began, breaking her thoughts and the silence that had fallen around them. "I... I just remembered something... A few weeks ago... I had this feeling that I was being watched. It lasted not too long and then it just disappeared."

"Hmph. That's weird." Christian pressed his lips together in a tight line, lost in thought for a moment. "Did you see anyone... like, not normal?"

Rose shook her head. "No. I couldn't catch anyone looking at me." She shook her head, suddenly laughing. "Maybe I'm just as crazy as Janine."

"Never. Look, Rose, don't worry about it too much. I was just delivering the message. Plus, I wanted to see you again. We can make your mother wait just a while longer. You need to show me around this city. It looks pretty fun to explore."

"Oh it is!" Rose grinned, her thoughts suddenly lost and replaced by giving a tour to Christian. When Christian yawned, Rose took that as her cue. "Alright, You need to get your sleep, so do I. After we all have breakfast, we can figure something out, okay?"

Christian nodded, pushing Rose off of the couch, laying down now.

Glaring, Rose stood and went back to bed.

"Okay, you understand it all, Adrian? Remember you need to keep this to yourself." Dimitri sat in his not-so-secretive room, Adrian sitting in front of him, looking at the file on his lap.

"Yeah, I got it. It wont be easy, but I think I got this." Adrian nodded, feeling sure about himself. He just needed to meet with this Rose Hathaway to be able to look into her mind. Dimitri would be in charge of that. "Though, I must say..." he leaned back in his chair, looking up at Dimitri with a sly smirk on his lips. "You have reached to the most ultimate stalker I have ever come across."

"Oh, you speak like you have run into stalkers a lot." Dimitri huffed, cleaning off his desk.

"You'll be surprised." Adrian waved his hands. "A lot of crazy people out there, Dimitri. It's a good thing you're so... buff. I wouldn't even want to mess with you." Chuckling, he stood up, holding the file tightly in his hand. "I want to meet this Rose Hathaway, soon, Dimitri. I don't know how much time I've got here, but you cant be taking things slowly. We do this now and tackle the situation. Because if it's her, we need her. Emphasis on the need." He shook his head. "I still can't believe you didn't tell me before."

"I was told not to tell anyone, not even talk about it with people who did know about it, besides my Boss, of course. You're lucky he likes you." Dimitri stood, walking over to Adrian and taking the file out of his hands. "This stays with me. I'm sure you've already memorized it, so no need to take it with you."

"Aw, come on, Dimitri, I like feeling like some... special agent. Let me have my moment." Adrian frowned before pulling out a cig.

"No smoking in my house." Dimitri hissed under his breath, ripping it out of his mouth before throwing it in the trash can. "Now get out so we can go and 'run' into Rose."

"Asshole." Adrian mumbled under his breath before walking out of the room.

The two sat up camp outside the some amusement park. Dimitri had called Lissa and invited her and Rose to come. To his surprise though, this guy named Christian was with them. The name sounded familiar but he couldn't put a face to it. But that wasn't what had got him. There was another guy. Dimitri felt kind of jealous, wondering if he was with Rose since Lissa was too into Dimitri to possibly even look at another man, and he had proof of that. But shaking his head, he focused on the task in front of him, not worrying about why he even felt jealous in the first place.

"Why this place? It's all bunch of know-it-all teens that smell." Adrian half-whispered as he leaned towards Dimitri, his eyes scanning past a group of teenage boys who walked past. "And their fashion sense is horrible. Have they ever looked at themselves in a mirror before?"

"Adrian." Dimitri warned. "They aren't all teenagers. Besides, this is a great place for you and Rose to get lost from us. So you guys can talk and you could brush her mind." He rolled his eyes, thinking that it should have been obvious in the beginning.

"Right."

After a few minutes had passed, Rose, Lissa, and this Christian walked towards the entrance of the amusement park. Lissa's face lightened up as soon as she saw Dimitri, practically skipping over to him with Christian and Rose in her tail. "Hey." Dimitri smiled, introducing himself to Christian before politely saying hello to Rose and Lissa. Rose looked strikingly beautiful today, Dimitri seemed to notice, barely keep his eyes off of her, but a nudge in his side brought him back. "Oh. This is my friend Adrian. Adrian, this is Lissa, Rose, and Christian."

"Nice to meet you." Adrian smiled, eyes trained on Rose's

"You too." She mumbled before walking into the gate. "Let's go before the lines get too long." Rose walked away from the group, looking almost upset.

Adrian and Dimitri exchanged glances before everyone followed after her. As they walked, Adrian kept close to Rose, just so when they did split up, it wasn't too hard to find Rose, since it was pretty crowded.

"Hey, let's go to that ride." Christian pointed towards a huge roller-coaster and out of the counter of Dimitri's eyes, he noticed how Rose seemed to light up, causing his heart to race.

"Okay." She grinned, about to follow Christian towards the coaster but Adrian suddenly hooked his arm around Rose's. "Hey..."

"I'm scared of roller-coaster, but if I have a pretty lady like yourself with me, I'm sure I wont be." Adrian smiled softly, using his so called charm on her. It almost took all Dimitri's power not to just laugh at that moment.

Rose brows narrowed, not really falling for his schemes. "Okay..." She shook her head, beginning to laugh as she lead Adrian towards the coaster.

And that was their cue.

Dimitri pointed towards something that caught his attention, falsely, making Lissa and Christian turn their heads away from Rose and Adrian.

Adrian walked with Rose, glancing back just once to make sure that the others weren't following them. "So, tell me about yourself." He smiled, trying to keep her occupied so she didn't notice that her friends weren't following.

"What do you know to know?" She glanced over at him, her eyes grazing over his.

Damn, she sure was pretty. Her pictures didn't do her justice. Adrian thought.

"Anything. Where you're from. What you go to school for. What perfume you smell, cause damn, do you smell delicious." He chuckled.

"I'm boring. You don't want to know anything about me. And I don't wear perfume... well I usually don't, anyways." Rose frowned.

"That's okay, I'm sure I would find you interesting." He nodded, glancing around before looking back at her. "Really? I could have sworn you were wearing some."

"I'm sure you would, but I'm not going to tell you anything." She smirked, suddenly becoming playful.

"Oh?" Adrian suddenly raised his brows, surprised by the sudden mood change. This girl sure was strange, but he liked her, more than he really should, but she was interesting.

As they got in line for the ride, Adrian's eyes scanned her body. She was well built, nice body. He wasn't used to it, mostly, since he hung around with Moroi too often. But, boy did she smell good. Though, it was strange to hear that she wasn't wearing any perfume at all. Maybe it something around her but, surely enough, he could pinpoint it on her. This girl surely was something else.

And it suddenly hit him. He was supposed to be brushing this girls mind before her friends and Dimitri caught up to them. As Rose was too busy looking around, probably for her friends, Adrian slipped into her mind. Brushing upon every thought she had and every memory she possessed. But something was strange. There were certain memories that he couldn't reach, as if they were blocked off. Sighing, he decided to push forward. That's when he reached upon something that almost took his breath away.

Well, shit.
