Shadow Guardian{VA fanfic}

Chapter Sixteen

*Eddie*

 "She looks so broken," Mia said as we watched Rose walk off. "Just like before."

 "Mia, why don't you go find Lissa and hang out with her for a while." I said kissing her forehead, "I need to talk with the other guardians about what's going on with Rose. I want to know what happened to her in the last six years."

 "Same here," Christian said as he headed to the basement where almost everyone had gone this morning.

 "I'll come find you in a bit," I smiled pushing Mia towards the stairs before I follow Christian. I hit the bottom step in time to here Christian yelling.

 "She our friend and we have a right to know what is going on with her."

 "So you can break her again," Pavel, I think his name was scoffed. "No thank you."

 "She's breaking herself," I said walking over to them. "We just saw her and she was crying and looked like she had been crying for a while now. She also had bruises that she didn't have last night. What the hell is going on with Rose?"

 "Bruises?" Mikhail asked before cursing, "That son of a b*tch can't leave her alone can he. I'm going to f*cking kill that bast*rd."

 "Payne that's enough," Pavel and Mark yelled. "Give him back control."

 "He needs to be stopped," Mikhail growled darkly. "He's tormenting our queen she needs to be protected at all cost."

 "PAYNE!" jumping when someone yelled from behind us I turned to see Sonya and Sam. "Give me back Mikhail, its not time for you to be out."

 "Fine mate," Mikhail grumbled pulling Sonya in his arms nuzzling her neck. "My mate."

 "Yes," Sonya sighed petting his shoulder. "Your mate now calm down. What happened to make Payne come out?"

 "What do you think," Mark grumbled. "Where's Oksana?"

 "Help Lissa with morning sickness," Sam said. "So happy I'm not having a baby."

 "I wish you were," Pavel growled. "Your sexy when pregnant."

 "Hell no," Sam said slapping him in the back of the head. "I am not going through thirty-two hours of labor again I will cut your balls off before then."

 "Love you," Pavel said wrapping his arms around Sam. "Do you need me to go with you?"

 "That would be nice," Sam smiled. "Besides he is your son and I am not going to be grocery shopping by myself again. Get cleaned up before I find another hot dhampir to go with me."

 "You better not," Pavel grumbled throwing Sam over his shoulder and running up the stairs. 

 "Now what?" Christian asked as soon as they disappeared.

 "I know someone we can talk too," I sighed. Come on we can be there in about an hour if we leave now while everyone's busy."

 "DRAKE!" I yelled as soon as we walked into the gym.

 "Who's Drake?" Christian asked right as said person dropped down behind him.

 "I am," he grumbled and Christian turn looking up at seven-two foot giant. "What do you need Edison."

 "Information," I said and he nodded walking past us to his lair. I looked at Christian chuckling at his expression, "Come on."

 "Who is it?"

 "Rosemary Hathaway," I said and he typed on the keyboard. "No Hathaway but there is a Mazur."

 "That's her," I said looking at the computer screen. "She's the Shadow Guardian."

 Drake grunted typing in a few numbers before whistling, "This girl is a f*cking angel of death."

 "What?" Christian asked confused as I read what was on the screen.

 "You've got to be kidding," I muttered turning to Drake. "Can you print all this off? I need to talk with Rose."

 "Yeah," he said pressing a few more buttons. "Mind if I tag along? I want to meet this chica."

 "Yeah," I nodded grabbing the papers. "We need to head back anyways, you can ride with us or follow."

 "I'll follow," Drake said walking to a closet and grabbed a bag and a set of keys. "Let's go."

---

 "I just want to know where Christian is," Lissa yelled as soon as we walked into the manor.

 "Lissa calm down," Rose said pushing her into a chair. "He's fine. Sparky get in here and calm her down. Where the hell have you two been?"

 "Getting answers," I said staring at her as she paled slightly. "We need to talk."

 "Fudge," Rose muttered walking towards me. "We can talk in the office."

 "Drake stay here and don't kill anyone."

 "No promises."

 "Why didn't you tell me," I growled after shutting the door behind me.

 "What are you talking about?"

 "I'm talking about this," I growled slamming the file on the desk in front of her. "All of it. I'm your best friend and I had no idea you went to hell and back trying to show everyone your were strong even when you weren't. Hell Rose I can't lose you like I lost Mason, I can't go through that again. So why?"

 "Why I didn't tell you," I said staring at the papers before looking up at me. "I'm supposed to keep everyone safe. I'm the reason so many people are dead, do you know how hard it is to keep a war between everyone from starting. Its impossible. And Mason died because of me. I should have been the one to die. Why the heck do you think I put you as Lissa guardian when I left? I trust you, your the only one that I trusted back then."

 "Rose," I said.

 "I'm weak Eddie," she cried. "I losing control and it scares me. I'm scared that if I do lose it I won't come back, that I'll be the reason the war starts. I don't want to be a killer."

 "Your not a killer," I said walking over to her wrapping my arms around her trying to keep her together. "Your not going to start a war, you have everyone here to help. You've always had help you just needed to ask for it."

 "Easier said than done," Rose said burying her head into my chest. "Who's the guy you brought with you?"

 "Drake," I chuckled. "He lost everything and basically disowned the entire Moroi Dhampir community. He's a good guy just lost his family to society and strigoi, he's a good fighter and doesn't give two f*cks about what people think."

 "Nice," she giggled stepping back. "Thanks, I talk to Dimitri last night but didn't tell him everything."

 "I'm the only one that knows everything about what's happen the last six years."

 "Yes," she sighed. "I guess I should tell the others."

 "Probably be best," I said grunting when her punched me in the stomach. "Touché."

 "Idiot," she muttered walking out of the office.
