Hello again. It has come to my attention my ex read the 1st chapter, but I'm not sure if he would be reading this. If he is I would like to apologize for making it seem like I was going to kill you in this, I'm not. Also I started writing this before we broke up and before you met your new girlfriend. So names are coincidence. Anyway I hope you all enjoy this chap. Longest yet :D Plus a flashback for all of you who were wondering what happened to her two years ago. I also would like to thank evilneevil for reviewing. Please review! Also don't review 'but she was in a storage locker' I know what I wrote people, calm the farm! So yea, I will stop rambling I don't own VA or the song. VA is by the lovely Richelle Mead and the song is Slash!

ONE WEEK LATER

RPOV

I was sitting on my bed reading the case file and waiting for Adrian to call and say he had a new crime scene for me. I knew he had killed again. It was his pattern. One new kill a week. There was still no sign of Aria anywhere and we had searched all week. Adrian had struck a deal with Tasha making sure Dimitri would be working with us. I'm pretty sure that Adrian just wanted to get with Tasha, but Tasha wants Dimitri. To much drama, hence why I just give up with relationships. I was looking over the interviews and I discovered from her mother that she had been stalked. No one had ever seen who this guy was but he had called the house a lot. Looking at her phone records he had at least seven other numbers and called her at different times every day. Looking at a photo of her she looked a lot like me when I was 18. I heard my phone go off.

"Hey Adrian. What you got for me?" Adrian had been my boss for 5 years.

"Two victims, Dana and Zane Garret. Dana was 16, Zane was 20. He was visiting his younger brother and sister for the weekend. He's a psychology major." That didn't add up.

"But Dana and Zane are dead. Whose the younger brother?"

"James Garret. Dana's twin. We also found a note on the wall again. If you don't want to go Rosie you don't have to." I sighed. He knew me and he knew nothing was going to stop me going to that house.

"Will be there in 10 minutes."

"Lissa will meet you there." I hung up and walked towards my brother's dark room. The loser was probably watching Star Wars again. It's is mini tradition he had on the anniversary of his parents death.

"Sparky, I gotta go. New crime scene." He opened the door and just looked at me.

"Is it him? You gotta be honest Rosie." How did he know, was my mask slipping around him. Of coarse it was. He was my weakness. After mum 'bought' him we had an instant connection, as if we had been brother and sister from the beginning. My mask of no emotions was created after my best friend had been killed when I was seven, and then after I found out who my dad was. I had arrested him for drug possession and we found my birth certificate in his house. His name was Abe and my therapist told me I had Daddy issues the proceeded to hit on me, and I hit back. Lets just say he won't be going outside with the scar on his face. Christian and Lissa where the only people who had seen behind the mask in the last 20 years.

"Yea Christian it's him again. I'm being safe. Always with Lissa, never on my own." He nodded at he. He handed me my gun.

"Stay safe bud." He hugged me and went back into his room. His black hair disappeared into the darkness.

LATER

I arrived at the house at found Lissa with coffee and donuts. Legend!

"Did Adrian tell you anything?"

"Yea, Two vic's. One missing boy, James." We walked towards the house until a cute ginger guy with freckles stopped us. A shiver went down my spine when I saw him. I knew this guy from somewhere, but where?

"What do you two think you are doing at my crime scene? These aren't open to the public" Lissa and I pulled out our badges and he took them off us to get a closer look. His blue shirt hugging his muscles. Damn he's hot.

"Does my boss know your taking over this case?" How does he not know? Was Tasha that slack? Or was something else going on?

"Tasha knew since last week. This has been our case for two years." He gave me a puzzled look but shook it off.

"Come in then." He looked at me "Rose, is the note for you? I'm Mason by the way"

"Yea Mason it is for me." He shot me an apologetic look. He was a nice guy, I must be on edge. I grabbed of the doughnuts from Lissa. Heaven on earth, jam filled. We walked into the house and I notice Dimitri in the other room. The note had all of my attention.

Rosie, You still haven't found me. I'm upset, hurt even. I needed a son, just to balance up the family. He may even follow in my footsteps. I cant wait until I see you again, then our family will be whole. Don't forget our vows. Love you.

The last part got to me. Our vows. I still hadn't told Lissa about that. She asked many questions when I escaped and I could never tell her about the vows. I pulled myself away from the wall and went upstairs and found Dana's room. The red curtains were pulled and her white sheets had blood splatter across them. Her Ipod was still plugged in and was still playing, but only faintly. I turned it up and recognised the song immediately.

"The fire started long ago

The flames burn down still embers glow

So charred and black

There's nothing left to burn, to burn."

Jesus Christ, this was his favourite song. I may have never seen his face but he opened up a lot to me. Lissa turned to me and stared at me.

"Its his favourite, I'm next."

"We had the same dream

Lived life to the extreme

A loaded gun jammed by a rose.

The thorns are not around your head

Your ego cut you till you bled

You cannot crucify the dead

To me your dead, yeah"

I turned it off after that. I couldn't last any longer. The song was bringing back memories of the room I had been trapped in.

FLASHBACK

I opened my eyes for the first time with a killer headache. I hadn't been drinking the night before, what happened. It was all coming back to me. I was leaving Lissa's apartment and the lights went off in the parking garage. I was blind. That's all I remember. Not even being hit in the head or a rag put in front of my face. I pulled my hands away from my head and looked around. There was a screen on the wall and a single bed up against another wall. I was on a couch in the middle of the room. I saw my door was open and heard music from down a hallway. I went to investigate.

"The future isn't set in stone

Decisions past leave you alone

Betrayed us all with your own selfish greed.

Your greed, yeah.

New soldiers now stand

At your beck and command

Recruits they're bought and paid by you."

I knew the song. I had listened to it a week ago, at the last victims house. It was the first time I found a note. The time before we had found pictures of me working and at home. I walked down the hall and saw a man reading a western novel with a mask on.

"Good morning love. How was your sleep?" What was he talking about?

"Where am I?"

"Your home Rosie. You've been hunting me for months. 16 deaths before I got your attention, but that's the end for me. I'm going to quit cold turkey. Now that I have you baby. Get comfortable baby, wedding tomorrow." He sounded excited. That was when I realised the real threat behind all of this. I had to escape.

END FLASHBACK

I still hadn't said anything to Lissa about my 'Husband'. I had to get Christian out of the house. He couldn't die because of me. I know he would. This man was ruthless, and out of control. And I was next.

LATER THAT DAY

SPOV (Slash POV)

I saw her let her brother leave the house, she was alone. Good. Let the games begin.

A/N So….Who is it?
