Garret Hobbs feel to the ground, landing ontop of a disgruntled looking Adrian, who soon pushed him off. I got up and made my way over to them. After helping Adrian up, I turned my attention to Garret. I saw that the bullet had hit him in the shoulder, not in the chest like I had hoped.

"He still alive." I told Adrian. He cracked his neck and grunted.

"Well, your aim is pretty shitty." I slapped his shoulder.

"Fine. The next time your getting your ass handed to you by a human, my shitty aim and I will just stay out of it." With that, I went and kicked Hobbs in the stomach. He groaned and rolled over onto his back.

"You shot me!" He growled.

"No shit. Why did you attack us? You would've had to know that there was no way you could win. So why did you try?" It just didn't make any sense to me. One human man against a fully trained Guardian and two Moroi? I don't think so. Something wasn't right.

He smiled a sick smile and pointed at something behind me, just as I heard Christian scream.

I whipped around and pulled out my stake. In that moment, I realized why Hobbs attacked us. He was stalling, waiting for his backup. Which, in this case, happened to be two strigoi, one of which had her fangs pressed to Christian's neck. The other, a male, had Adrian in a headlock.

With speed I didn't know that I possessed, I turned around and shot Garret in the head and then I threw my stake at the female strigoi. It grazed her shoulder and she cried out in pain, the distraction allowing Christian to slip away. I then emptied the rest of my bullets into the strigoi holding Adrian. It wouldn't kill him, but it would sure a hell hurt and distract him.

Christian tossed me my stake, which I used to kill the girl. But the male that had been holding Adrian tackled me before I could stake him. We grappled for a while, but I managed to overpower and kill him. Unfortunately not before he racked his claws down the left side of my stomache. I screamed out in pain while I shoved the stake into his heart.

Panting, I collapsed onto the ground, pressing my hand to my injured side, trying to stop the bleeding. I could feel myself getting weaker and weaker. The last thing that I heard before I was plunged into darkness was someone calling my name.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo

I was walking through the hallways at court, looking for Lissa. She and I had planned to have a girls night tonight, but she was late so I went to look for her. Sometimes I missed the bond. It certainly had its uses. Like now, for instance, I would have know exactly where she was and wouldn't have to wander through court trying to find her. But I also was glad that I would no longer be pulled into her head during hers and Christian's, ahem, encounters. I silently prayed that this was not one of those times as I walked into her room, Not bothering to knock.

My hope was short lived as I saw that she was indeed in bed with someone.

"Mmmmm, Dimitri!" I gasped. She looked up and saw me.

"Oh. Rose. What are you doing here?" She asked, sitting up in the bed. Dimitri, the love of my life, sat next to her. I couldn't believe it. No. This could not happen.

"What am I doing? What the fuck are you doing? How could you Liss?" I cried.

She shrugged.

"The heart wants what the heart wants, Rose."

"You have got to be kidding me? How could you? I have never done anything, anything to hurt you Liss. Not ever. I took a mother fucking bullet for you! I have constantly risked my life to protect yours. How. Could. You." With that, I ran out the door.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo

"Rose? Rose wake up." I opened my eyes to a beautiful pair of blue ones.

"Where am I?" I asked.

"Back at home. I wanted to take you to the hospital, but Adrian insisted that he heal you instead." He looked like he wanted to say more, but he held back.

I sat up so that my eyes were level with his.

"What is it Chris? You know you can tell me anything." After Lissa's betrayal, Chris and I had grown close. We were now closer than Liss and I had ever been, if that was even possible.

"Rose," He whispered. "I thought that I was going to lose you. You have no idea. You looked dead." I closed my eyes, not wanting to hear anymore, but he still continued.

"Sometimes, I regret leaving court. I mean, I know that we had to get away, but sometimes seeing you risk your life like this, it's well it kills me Rose. I don't know what I would do if I lost you. After Lissa... Rose, your all I have left. And seeing you in pain, it torments me. I would give anything if it meant that you would never be hurt again."

He grabbed me chin, forcing me to look into his eyes. God, those eyes...

"Rose, I love you." And then, not waiting for my response, he kissed me.

Ouuuuuu! Well, there you have it folks! A little bit of everything! Now, the next chappie will be a little RosexAdrian... Or maybe a little more RosexChristian. You decide! You have the power! Or maybe it's time to introduce someone new... Hmmmmm. Let me know what you think! I love reviews... They make me wanna update more. Alright, well, until tomorrow. -Piper
