Christian's POV

"What do you want?" I growled.

'Well, lookey here. Did you burn them? Bite them? Attack them?" he mocked.

"No, they were attacked by Strigoi. They were testing on Christy here." I said, pointing to the Rose look alike. "Lucky Lissa got away before they could get her."

"Yes, lucky." as he started to walk towards them. David grabbed Christy, while I grabbed Lissa. We took them towards the nurses, helping them set up the cots. I looked down at Christy, she was beautiful, I couldn't help but admit, and when I really looked, she looked nothing alike Rose. Her skin was incredibly pale, and she was tall, but had some hot curves. Her hair was to curly, and her posture was different. I stared at her, taking in her features, then examining Lissa. She was still as hot as ever, but she looked tougher, like she could take care of herself now. Just then Lissa stirred.

"Christy, Christy, where are you?" she mumbled, her hand feeling for something. She was trailing along the bed, and it fell off. She stiffened. And slowly opened her eyes. She was looking up at the ceiling, and she sat up to see me. "Christian!" she shouted, and hugged me. She was smiling with joy, and she looked over to Christy. "Christy." she said, shaking her. But she never moved.

"Lissa? Do you need anything, food, water, blood?"

"Blood!" she shouted, "Christian, she needs blood! She's dying! She's gone days without blood or anything. Get her some, now!"

"Already taken care of." David said.

"Who are you?" Lissa asked, I knew she was stunned by him, and yet she kept her face composed. "What are you doing here? Why?"

"I am David Ginger. I am from London, and I am here to replace Alberta. She died in a battle with a Strigoi." he said, his silky voice faltering. "She was my aunt." Lissa gasped.

"Really?"

"Yeah, oh, uh, heres the uh, feeder." he mumbled, bringing out Anna, a newby, and walked away. Shaking his head. Lissa and her walked to Christy and woke her up. As everyone in the room but Lissa gasp at her eyes, including me. They were georgous. A stricking silver. I wanted to walk over to her and just, kiss her. No matter who I hurt. She was just so hot.

"Lissa?" her voice was sweet and silky. Very lovely actually, and she sounded weak. "What-what's this?"

"Food." Lissa said calmly. And the feeder calmly walked over sat next to her. Christy leaned forward and swiftly bit her neck. Drinking. The feeders face was relaxed, and in a sudden bliss. Couple minutes later, she stopped. Anna looked dazed, and smiled. Lissa leaned forward and drank from her as well. When both were done, Anna fainted, and we looked at her. "We were thirsty." Lissa explained, and everyone nodded. She smiled, as I walked over to her. I saw David and Christy talking and laughing, as I reached her.

"Lissa."

"Christian." immediantly after talking we found ourselves in an embrace, making out in the middle of the nurse's office. As we kissed, Lissa was keeping me close, and I felt very loved, no one loved me like Lissa did. Not even Tasha could love me like Lissa. Tasha loved me, but Lissa was in love with me. Difference. I don't know when we stopped, but soon she sobbing into my shoulder, as I stroked her hair, and she explained how scared she was, and how she never wanted that to happen to her again.

"Christian." a sweet voice spoke, I looked up to see Christy. She smiled. "Hi. I never got to introduce myself, I'm Christy Angoi."

"Hi. Uh, hang on." she nodded. "Lissa, Lissa babe, please get up." we both knew we were back together, everyone knew that. No words were needed niether spoken. She got up and ran to Christy. Sobbing into her, screaming into her hair for Rose. I froze.

"Why!? Why did she leave!?" Lissa screamed, and everyone stopped what they were doing, she calmed down, but never let go of poor Christy.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you all about. I was already there when they brought in Rose." everyone in the room froze. Dead solid, even me. Rose, my best girl friend, what happened to her? She never did come back. "She was half-dead, and they were going to turn her. I talked to her, she seemed very nice. The same night Lissa came, they took Rose into a room. Well I should say Dimitri did." again, everyone froze. They now know Dimitri is a Strigoi. Great. "I heard screaming, horrific screams, and they came out dragging a body. Dimitri was screaming and crying, pounding on the ground, he loved her you know, and he attacked Anton, his twin brother and fellow Strigoi. They were in battle and everyone was trying to stop them. We saw who's body it was. We found Rose dead as ever, lying in a heap, and we knew we had to leave. We got out, and ended up here. I wanted to tell you all that. Spread the news that Rosemary Hathaway is dead!" she shouted the las part, and everyones reaction was different. Some cried, like Lissa and I, some panicked, and some went to spread the news.

"Lissa." I said, and she ran right back to me falling to the ground with sobs screaming how it wasn't fair, and how she wanted her best friend back. Also that she had hardly any family left. I felt so sorry for her, and the next few hours were horrible.

Christy/Rose's POV

I was shocked. After telling that news, I didn't think people would act like that. Several cried, several panicked, and only a few handled it smoothly, like the newbys who didn't really know me. They ran around shouting that Rosemary Hathaway was dead. I sat on the bed, dry eyed, calm and relaxed as everyone, and I mean everyone grieved for me. Me! I was astonished.

"Christy?" a voice said, and I turned around to see Kirova standing there, crying her eyes out. "What were Rose's last words?" she whispered.

"Help me. Please help me." i said automatically. "Then she prayed, and shouted I love you, love you all. Tell the ones I love that I loved them, to keep me living on forever in their hearts. That my stories and legends live on. Please. And she passed out whispering for helps. She died peacefully." I said calmly, and Kirova broke down. Hugging me, and sobbing into my poor hair. Poor hair. It was curly, and I looked, well, hot! My silver eyes, my lean, curvy body, my pale soft face. I was beautiful, inside and out. Soon everyone was asking me about Rose. By dinner, they gave me a guest bedroom, giving me one right next to Adrian. Oh, great. I was walking towards my room, when I smelled clove cigerettes, I wrinkled my nose, coughing.

"Hello? You must be Christy. I heard my little dhampir was dead. Is it true?" I turned around, and i realized he wasn't being flirtatious, he was begging me not to say so.

"Yes, she is. I'm sorry." and he hugged me. "It's okay. It's okay." I cooed.

"No it's not. No it's not."

"Yes it is, because." I paused. "Can you keep a secret? Wait, what's your name?"

"Adrian."

"Right, Adrian. Can you keep a secret?"

"Yeah."

"Rose isn't dead."

"What! Why don't you-" but i cut him off.

"She basically is dead!" I shouted.

"What? Why?"

"Because they turned her Strigoi." I said, and Adrian froze.

"Wha-what?" he said painfully.

"I only told them that because she is planning on killing herself anyway, after she tries to kill Dimitri. She doesn't want any interference."

"Oh. Well, you better get to sleep."

"Yeah, I better." and I walked away, but I back tracked and came back to a shaken Adrian.

"Wha-" but I cut him off. I put my hand softly over his mouth, kissing his cheek.

"For your troubles. You will need it." as I headed inside. I closed and locked the door. Jumpin on the bed, falling asleep before I even hit the bed. Sleeping a soundless sleep. But not for long.

Lissa's POV

Dinner was weird. Everyone was comforting me, and yet, through all the apologies and hugs, I felt empty. I already knew Rose was here, but she was different. I felt as if part of her died. Even though it wasn't even close.

"Lissa!" a voice shouted through. Everyone turned to see Janine Hathaway, running through the halls, tears streaming down her face. When she finally got to me everyone froze. Janine was known for being tough and prepared for anything. Except her own daughters "death" I should say. She fell to her knees next to me. The whole room was silent, listening to what she would do and say, and the same for me. "Please, please tell me it isn't so." she whimpered/begged. "Please don't tell me my little Rosie isn't dead." Rosie? I didn't know she called Rose that. I took a deep breathe, and shook my head. She looked at me pleading.

"She is. She really is, I saw with my own eyes. I'm so sorry Janine." I said. Expecting her to get up and just say oh, instead she sobbed. Hard, crying into me. Too much crying for me today, but i couldn't leave her. She screamed out loud, shouting.

"My baby! My little girl! Noooooooo! Please no! Please God no! Pleeeeaase! Pleeeeaase! Oh God! Oh God no! Give her back, give her back." she shouted upwards. It broke everyones heart to see her hysterical. "Lissa." she whispered to me. "You can be my new baby girl. Okay. We can both be happy. You get a new mom, I get a new daughter? What do you say? Please?" she was deffinatly hysterical. Wanting someone to love.

"Okay." was all I could say. She nodded, and ran out of the room. Flipping open her cell phone talking to someone.

"Abe. I have to tell you someting." she said into the phone as she left the room. Everyone started after her. Soon, some middle school girls started crying. As they raced over to me, askin me and Christian for stories. I saw Eddie walking over, tears down his face. And soon everyone was talking about only one thing. Rose. We would live her on. Too bad she isn't really dead.
