Sooo many reviews! Keep them coming everyone! I just finished reading Hunted (House of Night). I know I'm way behind...I so need to catch up.

Enjoy.


Chapter Twelve:

"Thanks for coming...I didn't know who else to ask." I said as I closed the door lightly behind me.

"Don't worry," Mason said with a small smile on his lips. "Its fine, Claire is resting anyway. What's up?"

I pointed to one of the bar seats by the counter for him to sit on. He did and I sat next to him. I told him everything that just happened with Jill and how Lissa has been acting with her. He sat there, still as stone and listening carefully. That's one of the things I love about Mason, you could tell him anything and he wouldn't judge you. He was one of the people I trusted the most.

"Oh shit," He muttered after I finished the story.

I nodded, "Yeah and now I've got to try and talk some sense into Lissa." I said.

He smiled, "And you want me to keep an eye on Jill."

I smiled back, "Please."

He rolled his eyes, "You don't even have to ask Rose, you're one of my best friends. Plus this thing that's happening to Jill, you will need help."

I got off the seat and kissed Mason on the cheek, "Thanks bro, call me if anything happens." I said as I went towards the door.

He nodded, "Good luck!"

I nodded back and left, to have the talk with my best friend who was like my sister.


When I entered Lissa's house, I could hear laughter coming from the kitchen. I could easily tell it was just Lissa and Christian. I walked into the kitchen to see Lissa and Christian sitting at the table looking at stuff that has to do with weddings.

Lissa looked up at me and smiled like an angel. "Hey Rose, take a seat, we're just looking over some food for the wedding."

I really wasn't in the mood.

"Christian, can you leave. I need to talk to Lissa," Then I added, "Alone."

They both looked at me strangely before Lissa nodded at Christian to leave.

When Christian left I asked, "So, is Jill invited to the wedding?" My tone was a little bit harsh as I wrapped my arms around my chest.

She half smiled, "Of course," She got up from her seat and walked around the table. "After all she is my..." She stopped as she struggled with her words.

"See," I pointed out. "You can't even say the word." I stepped towards her, "Let me help you on that, it starts with an S and ends with a R."

Lissa didn't look at me.

"The word is sister Lissa, and guess what." I pointed my finger out. "She's your sister!"

She finally looked at me, anger in her jade eyes. "Half! She's my half sister, not full!"

I snorted, "It doesn't matter if she's full or half, she's still your sister!" I sighed, "Why can't you accept it?"

"Because, in case you haven't forgotten, my father cheated on my mother!" She shouted.

"But you can't blame Jill! She's just someone who got pulled into this mess, that's all!"

She groaned in frustration as she put her hands in head. "Why are you here Rose?"

I closed my eyes for a second, remembering Jill's face earlier; I needed to do this for her. She needed her sister. "Jill's been making herself throw up."

Lissa's head snapped up to me. "What?" Her eyes widened, "She's anorexic?"

"No," I said, my voice straight and strong. "She's bulimic. There's a difference." I took another step forward, "And right now, she needs her sister."

At first I thought I finally got some sense into her as I felt through the bond guilt and sadness. But then it quickly changed into betrayal and anger.

She looked away, "I-I can't. I wouldn't do that to my family."

I stared at her shocked. Right now she did have a family, and that was Jill.

"You know," I started, "Even with a bond, I still can't understand you." I stepped away from her now. The anger within me said if I didn't, I would do something I would regret. "If you're not going to be there for Jill, then I will." I walked towards the door, but then stopped and looked back at her again. "Also, when you find where my best friend is, tell her to give me a call."

Then I walked out. I heard Lissa calling me through the bond, but I blocked her out.

I was outside just by the local cafe and got my cell out.

Plan A didn't work.

Now let's do Plan B.


DUH DUH DUH! What did you think of the chapter guys? I know it's a bit short, but the next one will reveal Plan B of Rose's great plan. :D. I know none of you are very happy with Lissa right now, but for me, this has to happen in the story. Lissa will get to grips with reality soon I promise you that, but we won't see her for a couple of chapters.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter guys and what do you think Plan B is?
