Here's next update. I would love for some more reviews, as much as i hate asking.

Rose, Elena, and Alice had been waiting around for a while now. Elena and Alice waiting for Cody to show up, Rose secretly hoping and waiting for Damon to get there first. If not, Damon would most definately hate her...and she was pretty sure Alice and herself would be dead, no one would take Elena to Klaus and leave Rose and Alice alive to tell on them.

Elena stood next to the counter and took another sip of water. She looked to where Alice and Rose were, than turned back around...only to come face to face with a very pissed off Damon.

Uh oh.

"What are you doing here?" she asked him.

He wanted to knock her over the head.

"What are you doing here?" he asked her, like she was stupid or something.

"How did you..." Elena started to ask, then trailed off and turned around as Rose stepped up behind her.

She looked at Rose incredulously.

"You called him?" She asked her.

"I'm sorry Elena." Rose said. Sure she was actually sorry for making Elena not trust her, but she wasn't really sorry for calling Damon.

"You said you understood!"

"Yeah well she lied." Damon interrupted.

Lied? Rose thought...She never actually lied to Elena...just didn't mention that she was calling Damon. Right, Damon was trying to make a point.

Alice finally came back into the room, noticing Damon for the first time.

"Oh my God, Damon Salvatore."

Damon rolled his eyes, he didn't have time for this moron, so he turned to Rose.

"Get rid of her." he demanded. Rose was already in hot water, and immediately did what he asked. She grabbed Alice by the arm, more gently than she normally did now that she had vampire strenth.

She decided to stay in the other room with Alice. There were going to be some heated words between Damon and Elena, no need to be in the room and interrupt, she would hear everything they said anyways.

"We're leaving." Damon told Elena.

"No." She said, and crossed her arms.

"I said that we are leaving."

"And I'm not going with you."

"You do not get to make that decision."

"When have I ever made a decision, you and Stefan do that for me. This is my decision."

Oh good lord, this was not going to end well. Rose thought. They were both stubborn, and Damon was deadly right now. She couldn't help but agree with both of them. Yes, they should leave...what Elena was doing was terribly stupid. Yet having people try to control your decisions and life didn't sound very appealing either. Rose had enough of that in her life, first under her father's control, than losing control over her own life because of her deal with a demon, and then the last time was being turned into a vampire without consent...so she understood both of them.

She envied Elena sometimes though, she didn't have anyone who would go to such lengths to protect her, and sure part of that was definately her fault since she never let anyone close enough to her to actually care about her. She had a chance to let someone in and save her, and she instead pissed him off and made him hate her instead. Elena was lucky to have people actually give a damn about her life.

"Who's going to save your life while your making decisions?" Damon asked her. He couldn't even beleive he was here having to do all this when he should be getting the moonstone from Katherine.

"You don't get it Damon, I dont want to be saved. Not if Klaus is going to kill everyone I love."

She wasn't going to win though. Damon got even more pissed, if it was even possible.

"Get your ass out the door before I throw you over my shoulder and carry you myself." He threatened, getting even closer to her. She tried to punch him to get free, but he grabbed her arm, and kept a hold of it.

"Don't ever do that again."

She fought against him for a second before finally giving in. He then used his hold on her arm and walked her into the other room with Rose. He sat Elena down next to Rose.

"Watch her." he told Rose, then grabbed Alice.

"I need you to come with me for a second." he told Alice, and dragged her into the bedroom.

Damon finally came out of the room.

"Alright, time to go. Alice is soundly sleeping, and won't remember a moment of this horribly stupid day."

Both Rose and Elena stand up, and follow Damon towards the front door. Suddenly the front door opens.

Three men step into the apartment. The leader stepped closer, Elena assumed he was Cody.

"We're here to meet the doppleganger." He told them.

Rose looked worried, so did Damon.

Elena stepped around Damon. "Thank you for coming." She told them. Damon then stepped in front of Elena, and pulled her arm to keep her behind him. She tried to take another step.

"I will break your arm" he whispered, emphasising it by adding a small pause between the last three words.

Rose stayed behind both of them.

"There's nothing here for you." Damon told the two men in front of him.

Suddenly the third man at the door falls dead, revealing Elijah who is holding the guy's heart.

Elena, Damon, and Rose's jaws dropped at the same time. Oh shit! Elijah blurs closer to the other two vampires standing in front of the three of them.

No, Elijah can't be alive. Rose was panicking...Elijah had promised he would collect on the favor to use Rose again. Before she used any rational part of her brain Rose's instinct to run had her blurring out the door.

Damon and Elena paid no attention to her exit.

"I killed you. You were dead." Damon stated.

"Yes, for centuries now." Elijah replied nonchalantly.

After trying to save themselves by telling Elijah that the were going to bring Elena to Klaus, Elijah ended up ripping their hearts out anyway. Damon was unsure of what to do to get Elena out of there, and Elena was a little more freaked now that Elijah was here. This wasn't part of her plan at all.

Elijah doesn't tell them anything, just blurs out of the room leaving Elena and Damon standing there stunned.

He hadn't harmed them? Wierd.

Several miles from Richmond.

What the hell just happened? Rose sat there trying to figure things out. The last several hours had been busy. Elijah was alive, she was pretty sure Damon was pissed at not only Elena but her as well, and she just ran out on them.

What am I doing? she asked herself. She'd finally found a place where she felt comfortable staying for a while, and people she didn't need to run from. Did she really just ruin that?

Rose wasn't sure what to do really. She wanted to stay safe and never see Elijah again...but she also wanted to go back to Damon and apologize. So Rose made her decision, she stopped into the nearest hotel, a Holiday Inn, and got a room for the night. She wasn't ready to just go right back to Mystic Falls, yet she wasn't sure she wanted to run. So she was going to stay here and get her thoughts together. She wasn't used to worrying about anyone but herself...and now she was suddenly worried about both Damon and Elena. Did Elijah hurt them? What had happened after she ran.

Rose walked into her hotel room, dropped her small back chair. She then threw off her shoes and fell onto the bed, not bothering to change. She was torn, how had her life suddenly turned to this? Why wasn't she satisfied just running anymore? Staying in Mystic Falls would be dangerous, not just because Elijah but because she was worried hunters would find her. Hunters? Why couldn't she get her past life out of her mind? She found it odd she was suddenly wondering about the people she'd met when she was a theif, and human. The Winchesters, yeah they had way more of an impact then she wanted them to. She hadn't heard anything the first year she was a vampire about them at all...and she assumed Dean had really died. That right there sent even more guilt through her. Would he be fine if she hadn't stolen the Colt? Was Sam still hunting, would he find her and kill her one day for her part in everything that had happened?

After a few years she made herself stop thinking about everything from the world Bela lived in, and made herself focus on her new identity as Rose. Now suddenly all those thoughts were back. She wondered how it was that she had been saved from hell and not Dean? Right, because there was no way Dean would ever have went on as a vampire. He would have killed himself...or asked Sam to do it.

She would be lying to herself if she said she hadn't thought about ending it the moment she found out from Lexi that she was a vampire. Plenty of times she'd contemplated staking herself so she didn't have to live like this...but then she thought of hell and her father. She was more scared of ending up in hell with him torturing her again than she was of living life as a vampire. However she wasn't sure she had it in her to live like Damon and Stefan...they'd been staying off the radar for over a century. Rose wasn't sure she'd last that long.

So now, she was going to sleep and think about everything. Tomorrow she'd decide whether to run or head back to Mystic Falls...if she was even welcome there anymore.
