So I was sitting around, reading, got bored, wrote a DIFFERENT fan fic, and didn't think to update this one. Well here it is, only cuz VAcrazy13 reminded me lol. Tell me what you think. R&R xD

What to do, What to do?

Rose sighed as she looked for a place to sleep. At the moment she was walking toward the park again. She really didn't want to go back to the shelter, everyone knew her there. Her name, her face, she was famous. Everyone seemed to know about what happened in Russia.

"Well," She corrected herself, "They know about the strigoi." The alchemists kept a running total on the number of undead she killed. Rose really never paid attention, and refused to get the molnija marks. She didn't do it for the marks. She did it for him.

Dimitri . . .

She was still shocked at how easy she could think of him. How painless it really was. Were her feelings about him ever really as strong as she thought?

She circled the park before choosing to walk down a random footpath. All the paths lead to this huge tree in the center of the park. When she reached the tree, she jumped up, grabbed the lowest branch, and pulled herself up. She began climbing until she reached a relatively thick branch. She straddled the branch and leaned back against the trunk.

"Guess I'll sleep here." She muttered.

But sleep didn't come easy. For one, she couldn't stop thinking about her situation. And two . . . She was attempting to sleep in the middle of the day. In the middle of a public park.

She groaned.

"Mommy! Mommy! There's a lady in the tree!"

Rose looked down and saw a brown-haired, blue-eyed little boy pointing at her. His mother was talking on her phone and wasn't paying any attention to him.

Better get down before I get fined.

Rose slowly climbed down the tree before the little boy could attract any more attention to her. Now what?

When Rose reached the bottom most branch, she jumped, landing two feet away from the little boy. He stared up at her in awe, and she put her finger to her lips.

"Shhhhhhh . . ."

The little boy nodded.

"Great," She muttered under her breath. "I have no place to go, and now I have little kids lying."

Rose kept walking until she reached a grocery store. She walked around to the back and leaned against the wall.

What to do, what to do?

"Where to go's more like it." She said, sitting on a pile of broken card-board boxes. She leaned her head against the dumpster and closed her eyes.

Sleep came eventually.

It wasn't peaceful, or happy. No sweet dreams came to her. Just oblivion. And she was fine with that.

Adrian could feel his resolve weaken.

What to do, What to do?

"I just need to check on her." Adrian told himself.

Is that all you need to do?

"What if-- What if you're right? What if she did leave him? Where is she now? Is she okay?" Adrian stared out into the sun.

Then check on her.

"I am-- will-- soon."

I knew you would.

"Wow, my self conscious is egotistical."

Just do it!

Adrian sighed and closed his eyes. After a moment he sat up.

"What if she's not asleep no--"

JUST DO IT!

"Okay okay, geez"

Adrian closed his eyes again and reached out for her.
