*Next update...I know I'm doing it quick haha! I hope some of you recognize Rose's words here in the beginning section!

Salvatore Home, Damon's bedroom.

Elena had started walking from the room, but Rose had called out so she paused.

"Please..listen I need you're help."

"It's okay Rose. Just get some sleep." Elena told her, thinking Rose was talking to her.

"Please...I know I don't deserve it." Rose spoke again...her eyes still closed. Elena was very confused. Rose continued talking to no one. "I know..but it's the truth." Suddenly she sits upright, eyes open as she takes in her surrounings. She's in obvious pain.

"Elena. Elena I need more blood." Rose told her, wincing as the pain took hold of her.

"Yeah sure." Elena said quickly. She grabbed the glass and handed it to her.

Rose drank as much as she could, and sat still for a moment. She thought she'd gotten better but the pain in her stomach came back stronger than ever making her nauseous. She turned away from Elena and threw up the blood. It was definately the most disgusting thing she'd ever done...well maybe other than getting torn to shreds by the hellhounds.

Elena runs to get a wet towel from the bathroom, then makes her way back to the bed. Rose however isn't in bed. Elena looked around the room, and as she turned around Rose was right behind her...and she looked purely predatory.

Rose shoved Elena against the wall.

"It's your fault...all of this is your fault. If you hadn't killed her, and tormented me I never would have done it...mum would be alive and I would be normal." Rose yelled at her.

Elena had no clue as to who Rose was talking about, but she was clearly delusional.

"Rose stop. It's Elena. Please stop Rose." Elena choked out.

It took a second but she finally got through to her. She released Elena as quick as possible, fangs and veins retracting...the guilt showed on her face.

"Oh my god...Elena, I'm sorry. Please, don't be afraid of me I..."she trailed off.

"I'm not...it's fine, let's get you back to bed."

Elena lead her back to the bed. Once she layed down she looked straight in Elena's eyes.

"I'm scared." she admitted, closing her eyes a little.

"It's okay. I'm right here." Elena told her, squeezing her hand.

Rose started losing her sense of reality again though.

"Here? Where's that?"

"Damon's bedroom. You're in Damon's bedroom."

"Oh."

"Look, why don't you tell me something...anything. What's you're happy place Rose?" Elena asked her.

"I don't know..." Rose thought for a minute, the question helping her get her bearings on who she was. "When I was a girl, before she died...there was this park close to home. She'd take me there whenever he wasn't around. It was beautiful. Trees, open fields behind it."

"It sounds wonderful." Elena said, not bothering to ask who 'he' was. She had a feeling Rose's family was anything but perfect.

"Mmmhhhmm" Rose murmered. Her eyes had closed again, and she'd fallen back asleep. Elena took the time to go find some clean sheets for her.

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Elena walks back into the room with clean sheets, which apparently hadn't been the best plan since Rose was gone...again. She went back downstairs, and searched the house for her...finally making her way to the basement where she found Rose devouring the bloodbags. There were several empty containers on the ground and she held one in her hand.

"Oh god." Elena whispered. Rose noticed her...and again looked ready to kill. Elena ran.

It too minutes of running, and then using the sunlight to her advantage to get away from Rose. She locked herself into a rooom and jammed the door shut.

llllllllllllllllllllllll

What seemed like a lifetime later Elena finally made her way out of the room, and called out for Rose a few times. She heard a knock at the door, but didn't answer it. Finally the door opened up to reveal two men Elena had never met in her life.

"Who are you?" She yelled at them.

"I'm Dean...this is Sam." Dean told her, and pulled out one of his fake ID's...

"You okay?" Sam asked her.

"Um yeah...I'm just looking for a friend, thought she was still here."

Dean didn't beleive her...the young girl looked terrified...obviously something had been here. Maybe this Damon person wasn't a hunter at all...but before Dean had a chance to ask her, the man in question walked through the door.

"Who the hell are you...and give me a good reason why I shouldn't kill you for breaking into my house." Damon told them.

"Damon it's fine...they're FBI. Just let them go." Elena told him.

"We heard from the Sheriff that you were the best one to talk to around here about the current vampire problem."

"You're not FBI." Damon stated.

"No, we're not." Sam said. "But we know what we're doing and can help."

"Look I really don't have time for this." Damon told them. He turned to Elena.

"Where's Rose?"

Elena raised her shoulders, looking defeated.

Crap.

"Alright...we'll find her it's fine." Damon told her.

"Find who?"

"Look you guys are way out of your league here...you want to talk about it fine we do it when I get back." Damon told them...and was pretty sure that if Elena hadn't been here he'd have compelled these morons or killed them one.

Damon motioned that Elena needed to leave the house, so she did. Dean and Sam walked out, then Damon shut the door.

"Go grab a drink. You can ask your questions later." Damon told them, then left to go search for Rose.
