I'm so sorry for leaving off like that! I had this chapter written for the longest time, but I couldn't figure out a way to end it. This works though, so enjoy.

Mason had come running into the room, fully alert and scanning the room trying to figure out what was going on. Lissa and Christian were right behind him, Christian searching the room as well, Lissa came to my side. I was staring at the screen in horror, pushing the chair away from the desk. The blanket caught a wheel and nearly tipped over before Mason caught the top of it. I looked at him, eyes wide with fear, not knowing what was going on and what to do.

"Make it stop." My voice was tiny, I didn't know what to do.

Mason stared hard at the screen, as if he was trying to read what the other emails said. Lissa grabbed hold of me and quickly moved me away from the computer, over to the couch. Mason started playing with the computer, pressing buttons, opening and closing windows. He and Christian were in a quiet a conversation, I couldn't hear what they were saying, they're voices too low, but they didn't look happy.

"Rose. You're shaking." Lissas' words made me look down to my hands.

I hadn't even noticed, but I was shaking pretty badly. I tried to take a deep calming breath, I held it for a second and it came out as a sob. Lissa held me close, I winced but only buried myself into her.

"What's going on Lissa?" I plead with her to tell me anything. I couldn't understand why all those emails were sent only a few minutes after I signed in. That first email had shaken me enough, and then a numberous amount of emails come afterwards?

Before Lissa could reply, Christian was by our side. "We need to go, come on guys."

He helped me up as Lissa ran out of the room, and we headed to the garage. Mason hadn't come with us and I could only guess he was looking around the house or something.

"Chris." I was in so much pain, and so very tired.

"Yes Rose?" His voice was calm and steady, but you could hear the under lying worry.

"Where are we going?" I asked as he placed me in the front seat of his car. I winced from the cold feel of plastic as I leaned on the center console. Christian noticed, in a second concern was written all over his face.

"Do you need your medicine?"

I nodded, "Yeah I really think I do." I winced again, my body was on fire. My tender skin was still healing, and I was moving too much and too quickly. Nodding he made a move to leave and get it before I grabbed hold of his shirt, hurting myself further from my rough grasp.

"Don't leave me alone." My eyes went wide again, I had stopped crying but I felt tears threaten to come at the thought of being alone.

He moved back quickly, putting an arm around the back of my seat. He quickly started hushing me, "Alright I'm not going anywhere. I'll call Lissa to grab them, where are they?"

As he pulled out his phone and made the call I told him where she could find them. He stayed knelt down beside me, waiting for Mason and Lissa to return. When they finally did Lissa had a bag on her shoulder, rushing over to apologize for taking so long. We've only been waiting for three minutes, but we were on edge and rushing around, making the time seem much longer.

"Here." Lissa handed me my pain medicine and a bottle of water. Which I took quickly, she put the pills in the bag, letting me keep the water.

"Thanks Liss."

She replied with a quick, "Of course." As she got into the back seat from the drivers side. Mason was at my side speaking to Christian. All business Christian sat nodding his head along to him. Then Mason walked away disappearing through the door leading outside.

Christian beeped the garage door to open, backed out and closing the door he drove next to Masons' black Chevy Camaro. We waiting the thirty seconds it took for him to get in and honk his horn. Once he had Christian stepped on the gas and we were out of the drive way and on the street. I looked at him, he was concentrating on the road, trying not to hit anything with as the MPH meter climbed to 80 and sat there.

"Where are we going?" I asked Lissa, worried that if I asked Christian he'd look over and hit something.

"We're going to your house." She looked at me, trying to figure out if she should continue. A second later she made her decision, "Mason thinks who ever it was was either watching you outside somewhere, or had been wired into your email. Wanting to be safe him and Christian decided it was best to leave, incase someone was out there."

Closing my eyes I let out a small whimper. Someone could have been right outside the house, watching me.

"Relax Rose, go back to sleep and I'll wake you when we get there. You're going to be safe." Lissa tried calming me, it didn't work very well.

A tear spilt from my eye, I was so exhaust but I didn't want to fall asleep. I had no real excuse to stay awake though, we were driving in a car, far from Lissas' house, so finally taking Lissas' advice, I fell into sleep.

I dreamt I was alone in an empty room, it had no windows and one door. When I tried to open it I found it locked on the outside, so I sat on the cool ground, completely bored. I could hear something that sounded like creaking floor boards on the other side, I didn't know who or what was there but I waited. Maybe they're were going to let me out? I didn't have a good feeling in the pit of my stomach, the creaking seemed like it was going in slow motion. Who ever it was was taking their good ole' time to get me out of here. But as the sound grew closer I grew more anxious. What if I was wrong and who ever it was wasn't going to let me out? What if they were the person to lock me in here? The door knob finally started turning, slowly. Taking it's sweet time to go all the way around. Once the door cracked my breathing hitched, a long, ever dark shadow was cast over me.

I woke with a start, my breathing rapid. I was in someone's arms, they were carrying me bridal style. I sucked in a deep breath, ready to scream or thrash or bite someone, but before I got the chance a deep Russian voice spoke. I instantly relaxed back into his arms.

"I'm sorry, I hadn't meant to wake you. I was hoping you'd stay asleep." I looked up to him, he had a meek look on his face. A child caught sticking their hand in a cookie jar.

"I can walk." I mumbled, still half asleep.

He lifted an eye brow and I sleepily scowled, why can't I do that and everyone else could? "Can you? You look like you're still sleeping."

"Mhm." My eyes fluttered shut before I forced them to open. It was bad enough he was putting his life in endanger for us, he didn't have to carry me.

He looked at me a second longer then placed me on my feet. I grabbed hold of his arm to steady myself and he let me go. My legs weren't strong enough to hold me though and they gave out, I fell instantly. I closed my eyes waiting for the inpact, a low whine falling from my lips. I kept my eyes closed a second longer then needed before I realized I should have hit the cold, hard stones under me. That and Dimitris' arms were around me once again, holding me up. I looked up to him, a tiny smile playing on his lips.

"Still think you can walk?"

I shook my head slightly, "No. Thanks for catching me."

He picked me back up and continued walking, "It's my job."

"You're job isn't to carry me around." I pointed out.

He replied with a shrug as we walked up the door, he managed to open it without dropping me. As it swung open I said, "Aren't we suppose to be married when you carry me over the threst hole?"

It got a quiet laugh from him as he searched for a place to set me. The house was still a mess of random house hold objects, things scattered everywhere. A second later he was walking to a couch when I realized something.

"Why are you here?"

"First you purpose to me, now you're asking me why I'm here? You give off some weird signals." He hid a smile as I gapped at him.

"I did not purpose to you!"

"Sounded like one if I've ever heard one."

"Looking at your hand I'll have to say you never have heard one." I snarked back.

I was still pretty tired, but I found myself staying awake wanting to banter with Dimitri some more. It's been awhile since someone hasn't toed around with me, I've missed it.

"Are you saying I'm not marriageable?"

He pulled off a fake hurt expression, for a second I actually thought I had offended him. Then he was laughing and I slapped his arm lightly.

"Jerk." I mumbled under my breath. He was about to reply when Lissa came into the room.

"Alright-" She said, Mason and Christian a few feet behind her. "Oh, you're awake. Feeling any better?"

"Yeah." I nodded. "What were you guys doing?"

"The boys laid your mattress in your room, and I fixed it up for you. Do you think you'll be able to go back to sleep?"

To say I was touched would be an understatement, they were taking such good care of me. "Thank you guys. I could use some serious sleep right now. But where are you all going to stay? Nothing else is ready."

Of course Dimitri had already thought this out, "We can manage, Lissa and Christian can stay on the couch, and Mason and I can take the floor."

"You guys can't sleep on the floor!" I was going to continue to protest until Mason cut me off.

"Relax, it's not a big deal. We can lay out blankets and grab some pillows."

After protesting alittle more, they won. I was too tired to give a good agruement, and it was two against one. Dimitri helped me to my room as Lissa went to find some blankets and pillows for everyone. I called a goodnight out, hearing a chorus of three voices reply with much the same.

Once I was situated in my bed, I snuggled under the blankets. "Thank you, really." My voice quiet and sleepy.

"You're welcome Rose. We'll always be here for you." Dimitri replied, standing up to leave.

Just as I had with Christian, I reached out for Dimitris' hand. I didn't want to be alone, it's dark and this house is very new to me. I was scared that, just maybe, that person from the emails followed us here some how, without our knowing.

"Stay with me until I fall asleep?"

I think Dimitri realized what I was thinking because it only took a few seconds for him to nod his head. He went over to the other side of the bed, and laid down on top of the blankets.

Neither of us said anything else as I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep. I would be safe with Dimitri here, and I let that thought comfort me.

I'm sure you guys hate me, I'm trying to push things forward with this story, but it is pretty hard since I don't actually have any kind of outline for it. I literally wing it everytime I write.

Let me know what you think, shit, tell me how much you hate me for taking so long to UD. Flames are encouraged and always welcome. Any kinda feedback makes for a better story no?

Tif, xo
