Thanks for da reviews and my best friend and a weirdo for helping me out. Also, please note there were two mistakes. One was I spelt Strigoi wrong. Whoops. Two is Callisto is an Antarctic Wolf.

Chapter Four

Dimitri's P.O.V

I was standing at the back of Rose's 2nd period calls, Bodyguard theory and Personal Protection 3. Rose still hadn't shown up. I looked at Eddie in confusion. He mouthed looking for Ella and Rudi.'

I frowned, thinking, so what's taking Rose so long to find them and get her pretty butt to class?

"Did anyone see Rose after breakfast?" I asked one of the guardians.

"Yeah, saw her following them twins in the woods, outside the wards." Guardian Tanner said. I blinked. "Are you sure of that, Mikhail?" I asked and he nodded.

I walked out of the classroom, heading for outside when Alberta stopped me. "Where's Rose?" She asked.

"Tanner said that she was following Ella and Rudi outside the wards in the woods." I explained.

"She's what!" Alberta yelled. "And why are Ella and Rudi out there in the first place?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. That's what I'm going to find out."

"I'll come." Alberta said. I nodded, walking outside with Janine, Alberta and Tanner in tow.

IN THE FOREST

We'd been following the footprints of Rose, Ella and Rudi for about 4 ½ hours now, heading deeper and deeper into the woods. There were bodies of Strigoi that had either been ripped apart or a dog's chew toy.

"Who would do this?" Guardians Tanner asked.

"Not sure but they were bitten and thrown around likes toys. But why?" Janine asked. I shrugged again. "Let's find out is there are any more footprints." I said, and automatically saw more. We started walking in that direction. After five minutes, I thought, My God, this is insane. Why would the twins and Rose go this deep?

"Belikov, stop." ordered Janine Hathaway. We paused and she said, "Listen."

We took a moment of silence and listened. That's when we all heard snarls, howls, whines and talking. Looking at everyone, I nodded. We walked quietly towards the bushes. There seemed to be some huge wolves glaring at Rose. Next to the wolves were the twins, a girl who looked about seventeen and a man who appeared to be twenty. The man was holding the red-haired girl's arm pretty darn tightly. A guy was gripping Rose by the arms. He was tanned with blonde hair and grey-blue eyes. He was wearing skater shoes, soldier pants and appeared to be about nineteen.

"Andrew," he addressed the man, bowing slightly.

"Khaos, what do you have there?" Andrew asked.

"I caught her spying on us from behind the bushes."

"Oh, really now?" Andrew smirked. "What's your name?"

"Rose Hathaway," growled Roza.

Ah, Rosemarie, that was the wrong move to make." Ella said. Rose glared at her. "What do you want, Ella?"

"Hmm, let's see. One: we need your help with protecting Lissa." Ella said.

"Okay, but why do you want me?" Rose asked nervously.

"We can help you fight off Strigoi," Ella said, looking at Callisto, who nodded. "Agreed. Besides there's a big war coming." She paused to sigh in frustration. "Let alone my pack," she trailed off, then caught Rose's look of confusion and started talking again. "The Full Moon pack sadly went evil and shit. Except for Jake..."

CALLISTO'S P.O.V.

I'm standing in the middle of the Crescent Moon territory, listening to Ella and Rose's bickering about the Dragomir and the upcoming war. I thought my head was going to explode. "I do know someone who can help, but I don't know if he will." I said, just to shut them up. Andrew's grip on my arm loosened and I black flipped away, kicking him in the chin lightly.

"Who?" asked Ella in surprise.

"My brother Jake," I said, smiling. I remembered all the crazy childhood memories and the many amusing arguments. I heard a rustling from one of the bushes and narrowed my brown eyes. Andrew nodded at the Crescent Moon warriors and they walked over to check it out. We heard a few grunts and shouts before the warriors brought back a few Guardians. "ROZA!" yelled one of them.

"Dimitri!" Rose yelled back. I rolled my eyes. "Oh, please. We're not going hurt her... Much,"

Ella laughed and then rolled her eyes. "No, we are not, Callisto."

"Oh, come on! I'm not that feral."

I hear a growl from one of the female guardians. "Then why are you here? How many packs are there?" the red-haired one asked.

"Mum... bad idea..." Rose said.

"There's the New Moon, First Crescent which is us, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Second Quarter, Second Crescent and the Blue Moon. The Full Moon went insane a little while back except for Callisto and her brother Jake, who are sane." Andrew said. I laughed. "Ha! Sane! That's a joke."

"But why are you helping us against the Strigoi?" Rose's mum asked.

"There's a big war coming. The Strigoi are more determined to get Lissa." Ella explained. The male guardian, whose name was Dimitri, walked over to Rose before whispering in her ear.

"Umm that was awkward. The name's Andrew Di Angelo." Andrew said, waiting for Dimitri to shake his hand.

"Dimitri Belikov," Dimitri said, shaking hands. Funny seeing on Russian meet another. Oh, did I mention they were swearing at each other in Russian? Thank God none of the other guardians could obviously understand what they were saying.

"Hey! You better wash your mouth out with soap," I said with a smirk pasted on my face. Ella looked at me and laughed. Andrew and Dimitri stopped swearing and looked at me. I stared back, one eyebrow neatly arched.

"You understand Russian?" Dimitri asked. I rolled my eyes and face-palmed myself. "Well, duh. My brother is half Russian, half Australian. As for me, Australian/British. So I understand both languages and a hell lot more." I said grinning. Rose poked Ella's arm. "What were they saying?"

"You don't wanna know," Ella and I replied at the same time. A random Strigoi leapt out of nowhere and, before I could draw my weapons, Dimitri had turned and staked it. Everyone else clapped but I frowned and said, "I'm gonna go shoot something." I said, turning on my heel and running off.

"Is she okay?" I heard Rose's mum asked.

After running for a while, I came across a dace. Walking into it I found ten Strigoi, bent over maps. Taking out my favourite gun, a little silver and black gun with an inscription on the barrel, from my left hip before muttering, "Which one of you wants to play?"

I heard a Strigoi laugh and say, "Well, well, well. A little girl wants to play."

The other Strigoi laughed and I pouted, blinking my brown eyes dumbly. "Oh, come on. I don't look that young." I snarled, annoyed. They laughed again and I raised my gun and shot on of them in the chest. As he fell down and stopped twitching, I smiled sweetly. "Just so you know; my bullets are made of silver. In other words, they can kill you." My smile vanished.

I pulled my other gun from my right hip and continued firing. The Strigoi, being peppered by my bullets, tried to attack but failed. One got past and grabbed my neck tightly, lifting me into the air.

ANDREW'S P.O.V.

We were sitting on the ground in an awkward silence and I was glaring at Dimitri, while he glared back at me. Rose's mum coughed. "Okay, this is very awkward." Janine said. Rose rolled her eyes. "No shit, Mum." She said. Janine glared at her. "You watch your mouth, young lady."

I just laughed. "Ah, you remind me of my mum, Janine."

She glared and Ella laughed, putting her hand on my arm. "I agree, love." She kissed my cheek.

"Where's Callisto?" Rose asked.

"Not sure. Probably killing Strigoi," Rudi answered. Anger flared through me when I saw Callisto walking towards us. "What the fuck happened to you?" I asked as she sat down next to us.

"Fighting ten Strigoi. Nine got killed by my silver bullets but one damn mother fuckin' Strigoi tried to fuckin' kill me." She growled. After a second, her eyes brightened. "Oh well, I know where help his."

"Huh? Who?"

"Well, first. Some rules. One: Rose comes with me along with Ella and Rudi." said Callisto.

"No, Rose can't go," growled Dimitri, grabbing Rose's arm.

"Yes she can."

"No, she can't."

"Yes,"

"No."

"Yes,"

"No,"

"Yes."

"N-"

"Guys, seriously! You are acting like three year olds. And Rose is coming. That's final. Got it?" Callisto snapped, her brown eyes flashing with anger. "I'm the one setting the rules. The rest of the guardians to back to St Vladmir's. Dimitri and Janine, you stay here and help the wolves protect the... How many in the litter?"

"About five." I answered her. She nods. "Alberta, you talk to the headmistress to see if we could base there."

"What should I say to her?" Alberta asked.

"Tell her what's happening. Take Andrew just in case." Callisto grinned and I glared at her.

Alberta groaned in annoyance. "Okay, fine. But is there any way for us to keep in contact?" She asked. Rudi grinned, holding up a small plastic bag filled with ear pieces. "Oh, yeah. We do," he said, grinning. Ella high fived her twin. "Nice on, bro."

"Ta," Rudi said, handing the ears pieces out. Janine glared at me before asking, "Why the hell do I remind you of your mother?"

"Umm, because she always told me off for swearing and when Rose swore and told her off it reminded me of my mum." I said.

"Okay, let's get this party on the road," Callisto said, flipping her short red hair away from her ear in place the ear piece in place. I saw, tattooed right at her hairline behind her ear, a black full moon and then it was covered with red hair again. Callisto then stood up. "The bar my brother goes to isn't far. Should be about a ten minute walk." She didn't say it loud enough for the guardians to hear her but she then muttered, "Drunken bastard."

Ella looked at Callisto weirdly. "What?" while Rudi did the same thing and shrugged. "Not going to ask."

3RD PERSON P.O.V

As the group walking into the bar, Callisto found who she was looking for. She looked at Ella, Rudi and Rose, nodding towards a man who was wearing a black fur coat that looked real, and a typical Russian hat. He had dyed long, unruly silver hair and a scythe and two revolvers lying next to him on the couch. A woman was sitting next to him. She wore a white coat and cropped shorts. She had long blonde hair tied up in a ponytail. Callisto walked up to the man and placed her arm on his shoulder. "There's a reason I haven't been in contact with you," she said, staring straight ahead. The man tensed and then his shoulders relaxed but only a little. "So why start now, Callisto?" He looked at her out of brown eyes.

"Because we need your help," Callisto said, her cheeks going red.

"So the great Callisto is asking for help? I'm honoured," he said sarcastically and Callisto's cheeks matched her red hair. "Shut up, Jake. I don't even know what's going on but it concerns you."

Shrugging his sister's arm off, Jake stood up and looked at the blonde woman next to him. "I have better things to do than this. Shelly, shall we go?" He asked. Shelly grabbed his arm, stopping him from leaving. "Let's hear what they have to say first, okay?" She asked. Jake turned and sighed. "Okay, but then we're going back to the cave and then to the hotel."'

Callisto smiled at Shelly. "Well, Jake, you scored big. She's pretty and really nice."

"Well, she's a freak in bed." Jake said. Callisto arched an eyebrow as Shelly giggled. "Only because you let me,"

"Considering she's your girlfriend, I'm not the slightest bit surprised." Callisto said, narrowing her brown eyes.

"Well anyway, what do you want? I wanna go get me some bear meat."

"Hey, guys. Can we focus please?" Ella asked. Jake sighed again and walked for the door. He looked out and frowned. "I thought Strigoi didn't like the cold."

"They don't," Rose said. "They hate the sun."

She frowned and watched as several Strigoi walked into the bar, holding guns. "Oh, shit," Rose muttered. Jake sighed for a third time and muttered, "No more vodka now." He grabbed the scythe and revolvers off the counters. Shelly took a nine-tailed whip out, letting it uncoil to the floor. Its tips wearing shining silver. Callisto just shook her head, crossing her arms over her stomach to pulling her guns from her hips. Rose pulled her stake out from her belt and Ella placed her hand on her shoulder. "That's not going to work, Rose. They have guns, remember?" She said, handing Rose a silver knife and a gun.

Rudi changed into his wolf form and snarled at the Strigoi. They snarled back at him and raised their guns. Callisto, being the first to react, fired continuously, knocking down one. 3 headed for Jake and Shelly while the others went for Rose and Ella. Rose and Callisto put as many holes in the Strigoi as possible while Rudi tossed the Strigoi's bodies through the window. They could hear Jake muttering under his breath about crazy idea on killing Strigoi and they could see Shelly's nine-tail whip biting into the Strigoi's chest.

"Is that it!" Jake yelled. Callisto lowered her guns. "I think so."

They heard a gun going off and scream of pain.

"What?" Ella said.

"The?" Shelly continued.

"Fuck?" Rudi finished. Callist turned on her heel, yelling, "Rose!" They all bolted into the kitchen where Rose was holding her right thigh in pain. A Strigoi stood over her and Callisto raised her gun, firing twice. One bullet took the Strigoi's head apart, while the other hit his heart. "YOU MOTHER FUCKER!" She screamed. "You're gonna pay for that."

"Come on, guys. We need to stop the bleeding," Jake said, ripping part of his shirt. He wrapped it tightly around Rose's leg. "We'll take the bullets out once we're in the hotel," Shelly said, helping Jake put Rose and Rudi's back.

JAKE'S P.O.V.

I was lying on the couch in our penthouse apartment watching my sister talk in Russian to another Russian guy. I could hear Rose's yelps of pain and protest as Shelly removed the bullet and stitched up the wound.

"Shit!" Rose screamed.

"Geez, would you relax? I'm almost done." Shelly scolded. I looked over at the two as Callisto walked over. "How is she?"

"She'll be fine. May need more stitches later but she'll live." Shelly smiled at Rose. "Keep fighting."

I nodded in agreement. "Oh, yeah. Keep fighting," I said with a smirked. Rose and Callisto rolled their eyes and Rose looked at the red-haired teen. "What did Dimitri say?"

Callisto blinked and said something quickly in Russian. I understood her, translating the words in my head to 'He's really pissed off and worried about you.' But I don't think Rose understood. Shelly looked at me and I yelled, "Hey, Callisto!"

She blinked again and laughed. "Whoops."

Well, R&R, peoples
