Rose Hathaway, again....

1

DIMITRI'S POINT OF VIEW

Rose was missing. She said and promised that she would be back in three days and it had been 2 weeks. Last time I checked in on her was when she was in the airport about to board the plane and strangely, the line cut off in the middle of her voice saying bye to me. But before the line cut off completely, I did hear her say "no don't" then that was it. I had left her probably over a thousand messages and voice mails and texts, and recieved no replies.

Like the passed few days, in every ounce of my spare time, I sat in Han's office with Alberta. We had called the bank she was going to, we tried the hotel and the airport. No sign of her. I knew it had to be a strigoi attack. If it wasRobert Duro, they would have been dead and she'd be here with me.

We had the whole guardian commity looking for her. Alberta was the most supportive through this whole thing, especially when a guardian said we 'let it go'. He was then highly interrogated, thinking he knew something. It turned out that he knew which strigoi it was that took her and why. He didn't tell us who, then immediately shot himself. I had lost Roza, again.

Chapter 2

EDDIE'S POINT OF VIEW

I walked up the stairs to DIMITRI'S room. I knew it was late but I had to do this. I knocked on the door and waited. The door soon opened and Dimitri stood there. he looked shattered. Bloodshot eyes, dark rings under them and a pale face. He could have been a strigoi. he leaned against the side of the door and smiled a half smile. I looked behind him and saw several bottles of scotch.

"gaurdian Belikov. You don't look so good," I said. Instantly became worried for him. Rose missing was really affecting him. more than I imagined and believe me, what I imagined was really bad.

"haven't been so good Eddie. Call me Dimitri, please." he gestured of for me to come inside. I stepped in and saw maps every where with crosses on certain places, his desk was covered in stacks of papers, he had bottles and glasses here and there, a white board with names and places, cities of Russia, a broken mirror....

" I, uh, I have an idea." i said. he nodded and poured a really large amount of scotch into his glass. " we have to go to Russia" He took a really long drink, one that could harm you really bad. But then again. He was dimitri, this guy is invincible. But now, he had all his walls down and he was so vulnerable.

he looked up at those words.

"I thought about it. Didn't think anyone would accept."

" we'll I do and I say we leave tomorrow. Listen, I'll meet you here at 8 am. I'm sorry but I've already booked a flight for three." he looked puzzled.

"three?"

"I have a few ideas on who this strigoi might be, and Lissa's coming. We need the compulsion."

Chapter 3

CHRISTIAN'S POV

Lissa had told me she was leaving the day before. I helped her get her suitcase down the stairs then kissed the top of her head. I saw her get into the car with Eddie and Dimitri. I trusted well that they would keep her safe and had seen what they could do.

But little did they know that I would be following them shortly.

I guess the "Rose is missing and life is hard without her" disease was spreading.

Chapter 4

DIMITRI'S POV

Eddie had seen me last night and told me that i needed rest. He didn't let me drive, even though i was older and stronger. He was almost a mini me to be honest. I rode shot gun while Lissa practiced charming a few silver objects in the back, she looked so calm doing it. I imagined what Roza was doing right now. Whoever that strigoi was, he was gonna pay for this.
