Rose let out a grunt when she found herself thrown on the ground with a hand around her throat. Katherine and her had in fact become great friends but something that Rose admired was the fact that the vampire didn't lighten up on her just because of this fact. Rose had nearly given up because she thought that she would never learn but Katherine had reassured her that despite constantly losing she was improving and lasting longer than she had before which was a good thing.

"Lasted longer that time," Katherine told her pulling her up to stand.

"I feel like a fucking failure. I mean I can't even beat you," Rose grumbled annoyed because she was supposed to be this Guardian but yet she couldn't fight.

"Rose it isn't always about physical strength sometimes it's about being smarter, strategic. Always drink vervain daily as well as wear it, never specifically invite anybody in and if all else fails run. I know those options suck but when you are human they work pretty well. Besides you lasted fifteen minutes against me Rose and trust me when I say that is a good thing. You should know that I never give compliments unless they are truly deserved," Katherine reassured wondering when she had started accumulating friends.

"I know," she said knowing that her friend was right about what she said.

"Also here's another piece of advice. Sometimes when someone is stronger than you to beat them you have to bend so you don't break," the vampire offered knowing it had worked for her a couple of times, "I would get your father to teach you as well because as a human he knows the best way to fight the supernatural."

"No I mean I am lasting longer each time it's just a little bit of strength I need to get. I'm going to go for a run," Rose said.

"Not alone you are. I'll follow I don't need Klaus killing me because you get hurt. I happen to like freedom so I'm not screwing this up," Katherine told her in no uncertain terms.

Rose rolled her eyes but the vampire had been telling the truth. Klaus didn't like when his things got hurt or broken and he considered Rose his. She should have found herself annoyed at this but he was her mate and she loved him. Besides even Rebekah had told her that the hybrid treated her better than he sometimes treated his own siblings. Rose had mostly been a loner growing up, a bookworm so finding herself with two female friends who were in fact vampires was a little surprising to her. Then again ever since being introduced to the supernatural many things had happened so she was getting use to these so called weird things.

Klaus pulled into the driveway of his mate's house and nearly grumbled like a child knowing he would have to see Katerina Petrova. He refused to call her by her new name but he also still wanted to strangle her for screwing shitup for her. Rose had tried to make him see it from her point even using Rebekah as an example. He had to admit that the tactic had been the thing to make him grant the vampire doppelganger freedom. Just because she was granted freedom didn't mean he had to like her but for Rose he would at the very least attempt to tolerate her. He knocked on the door and it opened to reveal Meredith Fell.

"Klaus," she greeted arms crossed.

"Meredith," he said back also crossing his arms having a feeling he would be getting talk to before let inside.

"You are not touching a hair on Katherine's head. Also Rose's father is back, he left without little choice which I'm sure she has explained and he is a Guardian. He may be human so that he can live out his days with me but he has no problem hurting you if you harm Rose or me," Meredith warned eyes narrowing.

"I understand," Klaus told her wanting to yell about how he was a hybrid but this was Rose's mother so he wasn't going to push her buttons just yet.

"Good you can come in. Rose is out with Katherine but you can wait here so those two can have their girl time," Meredith ordered leaving no room for argument.

The hybrid growled a little but not at Meredith. He was a little upset that his mate and the doppelganger were friends but also knew he could not do anything about it. He sighed figuring that he would have to wait for the two of them to get back and if they took too long he could just send Elijah after them.

Rose laughed at the amount of bags that her and the doppelganger carried. The vampire had insisted on a showers for them both and a shopping trip afterwards so here Rose was with her hair in a side braid, light blue skinny jeans, black ankle boots, and only black v-neck with Katherine walking beside her looking just as hot. If Rose was a lesbian she would so go for the vampire but nonetheless Klaus was it for her and the only person to make her aroused lately.

"Okay so now for food," Katherine said knowing Rose was hungry having not eaten since this morning with they started working out.

"Oh my god yes!" Rose exclaimed in excitement.

The heat in Tuscaloosa, Alabama was starting to get to her and she was glad that her workout had been this morning but she had not had anything to eat since six in the morning. Add in

working out, showering, shopping it was no surprise that Rose was starving. She pulled Katherine, well more like told her where they were going, to Mugshots Grill and Bar, her favorite place here.

"Hey Rose!" the waitress, Carla greeted. "It's been a while since you and your mom have been in here. You two use to live in this place."

"Oh don't worry very soon we will be once again," Rose joke sitting down in the booth and sending Katherine a look not to mess with the staff.

"What can I get you two ladies?" Carla asked.

"I will have Nana's Chicken Salad Sandwich without cheese and a huge side of fries and a coke," Rose answered already knowing the menu without looking.

Katherine ended up ordering the Parmesan Chicken Marinara pasta dish and it was a good choice, then again Rose liked everything in here. She opened her mouth to say something only to see the vampire tense like she was afraid and Rose turned to see Rebekah with another man wearing a suit. She knew that this had to be Elijah because Katherine had told her that the only one she feared just as much as she feared Klaus was his brother and the one she loved, Elijah. Rose sighed knowing that their lunch just got ten times more interesting already.
