Richelle Meade owns VA Series. Not me.

I had a sudden feeling of sadness. I know it wasn't from me. As I sat there trying to figure out where it came from. The feeling came back only with much more force. I decided to figure out where it was coming from and sort of "followed" it back to where the feeling came from. It was from Lissa. It has been a long time since I went into her head. She was bawling in her room because of she felt guilty about kissing Aaron even though she didn't really want to. She was still in love with Christian and had heard about him getting drunk at a bar than to be spotted later walking into the guest housing with a female (which is me, thankfully they didn't get to see who I was).

It was sudden feeling that she had to kiss Aaron when she passed him. I knew almost instantly that she was compelled. She wanted to harm my family and that's a very big no no. Why would someone want to hurt her. She was so innocent and fair. It felt odd that the bond was opening again. It meant that all the hard work that I put into closing myself off is going to be waste. Just by letting myself feel again. I don't want to feel again but I NEED to get any information about Tasha that I can. If the requires any sort of sacrifice than I am more than willing to pay it. I will do ANYTHING to keep my loved ones safe.

I suddenly remembered what was going on in my place. I could see that Christian was almost completely sober and looked like he was trying to make a decision. I decided to make his choice for him. I leaned over to give him a small kiss on the check grabbed his hand and said follow me. I walked to the door and told him good night. You could tell it took him by surprise because he looked relieved. Told him that he looked like shit so he needed to go take a shower and sleep it off than try to fix what ever the problem was. I was glad that I got pulled into her head before anything else could happen between us.

What the Fuck! Why am I acting this way? I have never had empathy for anyone until now. I wonder if this will effect the way I work. Guess the only way to know is to try and find out.

Adrian didn't get a choice of getting to leave. I was going to take advantage of his reputation. I needed to get close to him so I have a valid excuse to be around them. I turned around to see Adrian staring at the movie. It looked like he was asleep with his eyes open. It was obvious why he didn't have a problem getting attention from females. He was really nice eye candy. I wonder if his reputation about his skills are also true.

I walked over silently. He didn't even notice that I wasn't near the door any more, which was sloppy on his part, and was walking towards him. As I walking I could feel myself starting to get wet. I got directly behind him to see if he was awake. When he jumped at a scene in the movie it was obvious that he was awake. I went to sit next to him. I slowly slipped my slippers off and put my heels on. I asked if he wanted to share a blanket with me, the only response I got was a slight nod. I put it over both of us and leaned into his shoulder. I saw him turn his head and look at me. I didn't notice that my robe opened up but not enough that he could see what was under it. All of a sudden he shifted his position. He was now sitting with one leg on the couch and the other on the floor. This way I had to sit in between his legs and lean on him. Out of the corner of my eye you could see him constantly glancing down at me. He asked if I liked the movie. I have seen it before so I looked at him and said "I have seen it many times. So yes I like it." I said all of that with a small smile on my face. He was the one to make the first move. He leaned down and gently kissed me. I was still horny from earlier so it was me that deepened it. He didn't stop me instead he was starting to rub his hand up and down my arm. I forgot that I had the robe on. Fucking robe. I looked at him "Are you sure you want to go farther?" He didn't even hesitate in say hell yes. I stood up and he looked confused but his expression went to hungry once he saw me untie the robe. It fell to the floor and the silence was deafening. He still looked frozen but he suddenly started moving and grabbed my wrist to pull me closer to him. Hmm, he like being in charge. I wonder what his boundaries are and maybe I can break them. I walked over to him but didn't sit down like he wanted. I dropped to my knees so I was close to his height since he was sitting down. I wrapped a hand around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. That's all we did for a few than I decided to move forward. I didn't even bother with his shirt. I went straight to his belt and unbuckled it. I had his pants undone and was waiting for him to stand up so they could come off. He complied to what I told him to do. Once he was standing up in front of my I grabbed his dick that was starting to get hard. You could tell he was turned on but not to much. Without touching it I pulled all of him in my mouth and sucked for a few seconds before he was all the way hard. I like it when they are soft, I can fit it all in my mouth without having to deep throat. Once he was completely hard I made him sit down. I moved in between his legs to continue but he didn't want that. He grabbed my upper arm and you could see the want in them. Just giving him demands and him following them had me wet. He had pulled me to the couch. As I started to straddle him, he slipped a hand in between us not letting me sit down. Let me tell you this boy KNEW how to use his fingers. He started working on my clit causing me to start moaning. After a few seconds of that I grabbed the hair on the back of his head and tilted his head back so we could kiss. He deepened the kiss and stuck a finger in me at the same time. He worked his thumb on my clit and stuck another one in me. I moaned loudly when he did this. I was starting to get close and he added a third. I couldn't stand it anymore. I broke off the kiss and threw my head back panting. I was almost there and he stopped. I all but glared at him. He smiled at me "What are you willing to do?" He asked as he started playing with my clit again. I was having trouble focusing so the only thing that came out was a grunt. He gave me a brilliant smile and sped up on my clit and put two fingers back in me. Once my breathing started to become uneven he had maneuvered it so I was directly above him. Damn, I didn't even notice. He is living up to his reputation. I couldn't think anymore because his dick replaced his fingers. As I slid down I held my breath until he was in as far as he could. I let out a ragged breath when he grabbed my hips to get me to move. Instead of moving I grabbed his face and kissed him. You could see him trying to figure out how to go farther. I smirked and watched his face go slack as I started rocking my hips a little. Once I got into the rhythm of it. It was like I never really went the whole length of him but as I went forward I would lift myself up and on the way back, I would grind so he could hit every spot and it rubbed my clit against him since he was sitting up. He finally realized that he hadn't moved his hands one of them slid up front and rubbed me. I was getting close fast. As I could feel myself starting to climax his other hand slid down to my other hole and stuck his finger in that. With all three sensations I came so hard that I couldn't see straight. He hadn't gone yet so I had to keep going. He couldn't stand it much longer and soon came himself. The whole time I was riding out one of the best orgasms of my life. While we were trying to catch our breaths he said "Wow. That was awesome." I turned my head to look at him with a slight pout "You ready to leave so soon? I had hoped that we could entertain each other for the rest of the night." His jaw dropped than he composed himself with a grin. For the next few hours we enjoyed each others bodies. He was better than he his reputation. After the last one I could tell that he needed to eat. When I asked he tried to side step the topic. So, I grabbed his face to say "If you needed to feed why didn't you say anything?" In return he looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "I will let you feed off of me just this once. This will be the only time you will get blood from me. I just ask that you heal the wounds once your done." "How did you know that I am a spirit user?" he asked quietly. "Only a rumor but you just confirmed that you were" He only grabbed my face to kiss me. Once I was close to my third orgasm (the boy had stamina, it was GREAT!) I could tell he was getting close too. He slowly leaned down and started to kiss and suck on my neck. He had just pushed me over the edge so I was cumming hard when I felt his teeth piercing my skin and added the rush of their bite to my orgasm and I was past cloud nine. I couldn't move at all. I felt him heal my neck.

It took a lot for me to turn my head to look at him. "Is this going to be a one night stand or do you want to hang out some more?" It was blunt but it needed to be asked. He was shocked to say the least. "I'd be stupid not to be friends with you. That was some of the best sex of my life. You aren't afraid to try anything. It's refreshing." I felt myself blush a little. Me, Blushing? I'm blame me blushing on the fact that I still felt like floating. That was also some of the best sex in my life.

As I sat there thinking about all of the other times. I realized that besides me doing what I have had to do to (like seducing the person that I need something from) has all been for my job. I have only had sex with one person that I wanted to and that was with Zander. It has been a while since I have seen or talked to him. Maybe I'll call him later. Once I can remember the difference between up and down. Right now I'm still on cloud nine. So I am not going to worry about it too much right now. We both just laid in bed to recollect some of our composure. I was still thinking about things and the fact that he could read auras and that mine was different than others made my heart suddenly start racing. He must have felt it because he turned to look at me with an eyebrow raised. I didn't answer him so he started to look at me with more interest. He sat up abruptly and narrowed his eyes while he was studying me. "Rose?" he asked softly. I must be slow this morning. I looked back at him with wide eyes. It has been a while sense anyone has called me by that name. I must have been sitting there with shock in my eyes and my mouth open. He scooted closer to me and shut my mouth than wrapped his arms around me tightly. "What was that for?" I asked softly, kind of worried about his response. "We were so worried about where you went and why you left so suddenly." Than his demeanor changed to angry. "Why did you do that? Do you know how upset everyone was after you left?" He wasn't floating any more. He was starting to make me come off of my cloud and it was making me mad. "Oh yeah, I know how long it took you guys to even realize I left. It was almost a week. A WEEK!" After that my temper was growing. Which isn't a good thing anymore. I have learned a lot of things since we have seen each other. "Well, why did you leave? Why are you suddenly back here?" He kept asking. "I left because I was presented with an opportunity that was too good to pass. I am back to find out information about someone that is planning on hurting the some of the group that is supporting the campaign for the moroi to use offensive magic. I need your help to get this information. They can't know who I am until after this situation is dealt with. Once I handle this I will tell everyone who I really am; I promise." I don't know what was happening to me. I don't ask for help but by the end it sounded like I was practically begging. I never sounded like this. I would get what I needed no matter the consequences to others. I don't know what he was thinking about but his face showed no emotion though. "Will you tell me everything that I want to know? Why do you need my help?" he asked hesitantly. "I will answer the questions that I can. Believe it or not what I am doing is not going to benefit just me and my interests."

"What information do you need?" He started his round of questions. Oh boy. let the fun begin. "I need information on Tasha Ozera and the people that she is working with. The only way to do that is to start hanging out with you guys again. I need to know what Christian knows about her." A small look of confusion flashed across his face. "Than why did you let him leave last night?" I gave a small smile."It would seem that from being close to Lissa the more the bond is opening. I could feel her regret about arguing with him and when she heard that he had entered this building it only caused her more grief. I couldn't be the reason for them to broke up. I could see he was also conflicted and I decided to what was best for both of them. I could have continued with what I planned but I don't think he'd be happy this morning. I checked in on her this morning and she was happy to see him and to know that he didn't do anything and they are now back together." I couldn't believe what was going on. I needed to get rid of these damn feelings. "Who are you working for?" He didn't waste time to ask. This time I did smile " I work for myself. Guess you could say that I am a 'partner' in the family business. And before you can ask I will not tell you who that is." "What is your job exactly?" This one I could feel my face harden slightly. "That is some of the information that you don't need to know." He raised an eyebrow. "Why did you sleep with me rather than asking me for my help?" I let a huge smile spread across my face. "Did you not want to sleep with me?" I countered. He grinned. "Its always been a dream to get you in bed with me and you know that. It was better than what I could have ever imagined." His smile faltered slightly. "Where you ever going to tell me who you really are?" "I knew that you would be able to see who I am once you looked at me this morning. I was prepared to talk about some things with you. I had A LOT of fun last night. Did you?" I don't think he realized how big his smile got. "Oh yes. I will help you. I assume that you still want to use Guardian Isabella Smith as your name." "Of course. Thank you for agreeing to help me." I responded. We sat there for about an hour maybe two just talking about trivial things.

It was strange though. Thoughts of Zander would pop in my head randomly threw out our conversation. Since the first time I had thought of him this morning I couldn't seem to get him out of my head. I need to call him. After Adrian left to go to his room. I jumped into the shower to clean myself up. I wasn't modest so I just walked around naked with my skin saturated with baby oil. I like my skin soft, thank you very much. I just let my hair dry naturally, didn't really see the need in doing anything special with it. Okay I decided to give in and called him. It rang twice before he picked up, "Speak" I forgot how rude he answered the phone. I could feel a small scowl that had formed. "Well that's not a very nice way to say hello to someone that you have not spoken to in a while." "Isabella?" he questioned. I guess it has been a long time. That made me feel a little guilty. "Yeah, I decided to check in and see if there was any new information." Why couldn't I just tell him? What the hell. Was it wrong of me to just want to talk to him? I need to stop being all business. Even Abe had a personal life. "Nothing new over here. You know that we would call if there was." He told me without any kind of emotion in his voice. "Actually, I just wanted to see how things were with you and to ask how you were doing." I stated quietly. He was quiet for a second. "Things are normal around here, nothing." He paused for a few. Guess I did catch him off guard. "I am okay. It feels odd without you here and I guess I was starting to miss you." I smiled but forgot he was still on the phone with his statement. "Hello?" "I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting for you to miss me also." "Also? You miss me?" I think he must have said it without thinking. "If there was a way that you could be here and not raise any eyebrows than I would ask you to come in a heartbeat." Where was all this coming from. I am telling someone how I really feel. Not sure what my feelings are for him yet. I just know that I miss him. "Can you still try to find out any information about how this so it can be over quickly." He responded quickly to that one. "Yes, I am looking into any lead that I can. But there are not that many. Other people that were getting information from the source that you disposed of at court noticed this morning. It's all over the news. I still can't believe on your methods of getting rid of him were." Some of my old self come back. "He was engaged in some activities that I didn't approve of. I felt that it was a good way to handle him. I considered it pay back for some of the things that he has done." I had a small creepy smile on. "Sometimes you scare me. I don't think I could have done that to some one." He said. "If you saw or even heard what was going on, I doubt you would have hesitated in reacting in a similar way." "I have to go. Abe is calling me." He sounded a little upset to be getting off the phone but there is not much he can do. He still works for him. "Okay. Keep me updated and hopefully this will either end soon or I will find a reason for you to be needed at court." I sounded a little sad and he must of heard it. "I miss you too. Call when you get a chance." he hung up right after that statement. He knew me too well. I didn't have to come right and say it, he just knew. I miss him terribly.

APOV

I couldn't believe that Isabella is Rose. I knew that her aura looked familiar. Oh Shit! I finally got my dream to come true. I got to sleep with her. Wow, she is Great! Maybe before she can gather the information that she needs I will be able to sleep with her again. I couldn't help walking around with a smile on my face. Wonder what Tasha has to do with anything that involves her. When she had told me that her face had hardened. It actually was very unnerving to see her like that. I told her that I would help her and I will. I am just confused about things. I thought Tasha was part of the panel that wanted the moroi to be able to use their magic. There had to be a good reason on why Rose, wait Isabella, was so fixated on her. I couldn't get that thought out of my head. Where did Tasha play into things?

Isabella had changed a lot since I last saw her when she still attended school. Her whole appearance had changed. Wonder what she does now. I couldn't get that out of her, but I will one day soon. It didn't look like she was happy about letting her emotions come out let alone talk about them. My thoughts were soon cut off by some thing that I had heard in passing.

"Did you hear how they found him?" some random women said. The other one had said "Who would be able to stomach doing that to another person? I heard that there was also a tape of him confessing what he has done to young females. I can understand being mad and wanting him to be punished for it. But he definitely didn't deserve that." What happened that had everyone so shaken up. I heard some bits and pieces of what happened to the guy as I walked to the feeders. He was found with nails every where. Even in places that made me cringe just thinking about it.

Did Isabella do this? Was she apart of the mob now? I don't know her well enough any more to be able to tell if she could do this. If she did than she has changed more than any of us could imagine. I shuddered at the idea. I had finished up at the feeders and met up with everyone at the cafe.

"Good morning" I said with a big smile on my face. Christian looked like he had a hang over but was sitting with Lissa. Maybe they had worked things out. I looked at their aura's. He looked like he was in pain, must have been from the hang over, and still looked a little upset. She looked relieved and still unhappy about something. Maybe they hadn't worked things out. They both looked up with curious looks. "Why are you smiling? Have a good night?" Lissa asked. The smile never left my face. "yep." I didn't want to elaborate on it. Christian glanced at me with an odd look. It looked like he was jealous and relieved at the same time. I could only guess why he felt that way. Actually, I didn't need to guess. "Did you hear about that guy?" he asked. "Yeah, but only in passing. What was all of that about?" I let my curiosity get the best of me. "Well someone found him this morning nailed to a chair. By more than a few nails. There was a small recording saying that he was abusing young women. I guess that is why he was murdered. Oh well, one less pyscho out there." He didn't looked upset about the way he died or even the fact that he was dead. It looked like he could care less. His gaze shifted to the door than to Lissa. She didn't see him looking at the door because she was already looking at the door. I wanted to see what had caught their attention.

I looked up to see Isabella walking into the cafe. She had a face that made others stay out of her way. Wonder what happened to put that look on her face that was almost hostile. All of the guardians were staring at her. From the looks on their faces she made them feel uneasy. She didn't do anything except walk in the door. Her eyes swept across the room and paused on me. They had stayed there just long enough for the attention, to shift to me for a second. I was used to attention but for some reason I felt uneasy. I got up from my chair and walked over to her while she was in line.

"Good morning" What else was I supposed to say? She returned it with a slight smile. You could see her whole demeanor almost change. "Good morning? You sleep well?" She asked with a smirk on her face. I guess she was going to show some of her old attitude today. "Felt like I was cloud nine, you?" "We must have been having the same dream because I also felt like I was floating." I couldn't help but to return her smirk with my own.

I lead her over to the table that everyone was now sitting at Dimitri, Eddie and Mia had joined Christian and Lissa. She didn't hesitate once. I guess she was used to covering up her true feelings because I could see a miniscule amount of uneasiness in her aura but that's it.

We sat down and without hesitation she had taken a big bite out of her sandwich. That only caused me to smirk again, "You seem to be very hungry." I just stated. She glanced at me before she spoke, "I missed dinner." She said while managing to keep a straight face. The others had glanced at each other. Mia being one of the most blunt out of the group said "Adrian are you going to introduce your friend?" I had completely forgot that they didn't know that she was Rose. She did look completely different than when she left. " Guardian Smith, this is Guardian Dimitri Belikov, Guardian Eddie Castile, Lord Christian Ozera, Princess Vasilisa Dragomir and Ms. Mia Rinaldi. Everyone this is Guardian Isabella Smith." She watched quietly as I pointed to everyone. "I have heard things about all of you. I am pleased to meet all of you." was all she said than took another bite of her sandwich. I couldn't help but smirk a little at that. She always ate a lot.

RPOV

I walked in the cafe with my normal mask on. Every one was staring at me. The guardians shifted uncomfortably where they were standing. I quickly scanned the room and paused briefly at Adrian and it seemed to draw him attention so I turned back to the food. It felt like I was on cloud nine again just by looking at it. I grabbed a plate full of food while making small talk with Adrian. We walked to the table. I was caught off guard for a second because every one that I knew was sitting there. I was so hungry that when he asked me if I was hungry I said the only thing that came to mind. After a second Mia asked who I was. I wasn't surprised that she was the one to ask. Lissa was always to polite and I could tell that it was only a matter of time before one of the guys asked. I glanced at Adrian and his aura had a weird color in it. This is so weird! What is happening. I am going to have to figure out what all these colors mean and exactly what I was capable of.

A few minutes went by; I was sucked in Lissa's head. She had a feeling that she knew me from some where and a longing that I was really was Rose. I wanted to break my facade right then and there. I couldn't. I was dumbstruck by the fact that she missed me. I must have been staring at her because she started to shift in her seat. I was still looking at her while thinking that I wish I could tell her the truth and that I missed her so much. Her eyes went wide for a second. "Is that you Rose? I could hear you talking in my head! I miss you so much. Are you hiding from someone. Why..." My face didn't show anything. I took another bite and answered in my head by cutting her off from her triad of questions. "I am sorry for leaving and PLEASE do not let anyone know who I really am. I will explain later. Can we meet up later." She had the slightest smile on her face and replied...

A/N Sorry about the delay. I schedule was hectic with the hurricane than I lost power for a few. Thankfully no damage to my property though. I hope others didn't have a lot of damage.
