I was feeling pretty damn fine the next day…until, of course, my best friend to ruin it. Lissa slammed into me as she came running around the corner. There was a stricken-like expression to her face. I could feel nothing from the bond. I couldn't know what was wrong with her until she say it with her mouth. Until then, I had to wait.

"Rose!" Tears started crawling out of her eyes as soon as she saw me. She threw her arms around me and I hugged her in a comforting gesture.

"Liss! What's wrong?! Tell me what happened?" Usually when Lissa acted like this, something really bad had happened to her. If something had happened, I needed to take matters into my own hands. And poor person who caused her to be like this, all sad and upset. Poor, poor person, indeed. After all, I was her guardian, and this is what I did. I protected her.

She sobbed a little. "You were right, Rose! You were always right!" She began crying into my arms and I just held her. Although I was itching to know what the hell was wrong, I let her cry there.

Finally, I let go of her and asked the question I was itching to ask. "What's wrong, Lissa?"

She wiped a tear away. "You were right about him. You were right about Andy."

I knew it! I had like this built-in detector when it came to guys. I used to always get a bad feeling whenever they guys would be something you wouldn't want to mess around with. For now, though, I had to focus on Lissa, not on my thoughts. "What did he do to you?"

That question brought a whole round of tears again. And again, I hugged her. Finally, sometime later, Lissa told me what had happened to her.

"Andy. Last Night, after our date, he said if I would go to his room. And then he started getting all aggressive one me. He started, you know, and then he wanted to rape me, Rose. He wanted to rape me! But I kicked him in the, you know where, and I ran away." She scooted closer to me. "I wanted to tell you earlier, but I couldn't find you!"

"It's okay, Lissa. That cum-dumpster will get what he deserves!" I was so pissed…I was so livid. I wanted to murder that Andy Conta…I wanted to make him suffer for hurting my Lissa. As it was, he was going to get what he deserved. I devilish smile formed on my face as I imagined him under my arms, choking the life out of him. "Lissa, I need to do something for Guardian Belikov…do you mind if I left you alone for a while?"

She nodded. And I left to do my thing, all the while, the devilish smile stayed.

Lissa's POV

She wiped another tear as she watched Rose leave. Rose had always been the best liar ever, but now Lissa saw through her. Lissa knew that Rose wasn't off to do something for Guardian Belikov as she had said, but to go do something that troubled Andy Conta. Lissa wanted to stop her, but was tempted more by the thought of Andy getting hammered by Rose. Lissa didn't stop Rose.

What she did, was go to the church attic. She had not been there for about two years. Her parents had died not so long ago…and that used to be her escaping place. She wasn't sure if that place was still there. It had been a while she had gone there.

She made sure no one noticed her as she entered the church. Father Andrew was nowhere in sight. Lissa didn't want to get busted so she entered as quietly as possible. As soon as she saw that window seat she loved so much, she began sobbing, sobbing so hard probably the whole academy heard. Crying was one of Lissa's techniques to get rid of the pain. Other technique was a dangerous one…but it got rid of the pain, nonetheless.

As she cried, she thought back to those wonderful years. The years where her parents would take care of everything. The years where her older brother would take care of her, when her parents couldn't. It was something she longed for so, so much. She couldn't live in this world anymore. She couldn't take so much pain anymore. She had to do something. And the only option Lissa saw was death.

Out of nowhere, she began crying again, louder this time. And, out of nowhere as well, a hand started stroking her hair.

Scared that it might be Andy, she huddled closer into the window. The hand stopped and a voice that didn't belong to Andy, spoke. "I am sorry. Didn't mean to scare you."

Maybe it was the tear-blurred eyes because Lissa had to wipe her eyes several of times to finally see the—or to register the person who was standing in front of her. It was that kid that always stared at her in class. What was his name?! What was his name?! Black, glossy hair…dark lashes…icy-blue eyes…

He spoke again. And Lissa got mesmerized with the sound of it. She had never heard anything more beautiful coming out of a guy's mouth. It made her bones chill…and her skin melt. "It's none of my business, I know. But are you alright?"

With her, she observed, that he didn't act the same way as he did with other people—or peers. He sounded gentle and looked very mellow. A funny feeling started in Lissa's stomach. She got this wrong, sudden urge to just go into his arms and let him comfort her. As if reading her mind, he did wrap one arm around her. It was only as a friendly act, but it still made Lissa want to melt.

"Are you okay?" He asked, yet again.

Lissa stared at his beautiful lips and then met his eyes. " I am now…" Why had she said that?

She looked into his eyes again. She knew that he was not using compulsion because a greater compulsion canceled out a lower compulsion. And hers was the best compulsion out there.

"Tell me what's wrong?" The angel asked.

"Andy Conta tried to rape me."

The angel, angel no longer…He stood up and started mumbling a crap load of crap. Lissa had never heard an angel speak like that. "I am going to get that bastard and burn him!" That was all Lissa heard from him.

He started walking to the door. But just then, his name came to Lissa's lips. Christian. That was defiantly the name of an angel. A beautiful Angel. "Christian!" She called out.

Christian was astounded. He was shocked because this beautiful green-eyed Goddess had called out his name. As if under a spell he turned back to her. "Yes, my beauty?"

"Where are you going? I need you." Lissa didn't seem ashamed at all to say those words. They sort of magically clicked.

"I need to take care of some business." He said simply and started walking back to his green-eyed Goddess.

He leaned down and whispered his lips against his Lissa's. And she let him. But after that, he fleeted away.

Rose's POV

Andy still thought I was fooling around? What good liar was I! He still thought that I was going to go to his room to do some action! Yes, we would do action…but it would be my kind of action! Poor, poor boy! Everyone is a fool for Rose Hathaway, me. After today, Andy will never be tempted to do those horrible things to people!

"Baby, I'll show you what I got…" Andy said. I could have paid no more attention.

"I bet you will." We reached his room and I felt like someone was following me. But whatever, we were in Andy's room.

As soon as I closed the door, I pounced on him. His eyes widened in happiness…good thing it would only last for a second. "Why did you do that to Lissa?!" I asked, taking a hold of his neck with my two hands.

He was scared as soon as I pounced on him. But I couldn't finish my job. Another set of hands took over my job. Oh…my…god! It was the fire boy! Christian Ozera!

I let him take my spot eagerly. Hopefully he would light Andy on fire! I made my way to where Lissa was in a happy mood, but not after I punched and kicked Andy a few good times. Boy was I evil! Lissa looked way different from the last time I had seen her. She looked happier and more at peace. As she heard me enter, she looked my way.

"There you are. I was starting to get worried over you." Lissa said, standing up from the window seat and giving me a hug on the cheek.

"Well, I am here." I was impatient as to what had Christian done to Andy. God…this stuff made me so eager!

"Rose?" Lissa asked.

"Huh?"

"I think I have fallen into a pitiful love…"
