Rose Mortimer:

It got dark and I still wasn't home, I was actually wondering the streets, lost.

Yep I was a crying mess, lost in the streets of New York, in a neighbourhood I didn't know, I had no car and I couldn't use the internet on my phone so that sucked.

I couldn't stop the tears, I was really upset and the added circumstances only made matters worse for me. I was walking and hearing footsteps behind me. Like the smart person I am, I took my hand mirror out of my bag so that I could look over my shoulder without turning around and drawing unnecessary attention if I was actually being followed.

I took this opportunity to wipe a few tears away and I looked in the corner of the of the mirror while still walking and sure enough there was a hooded figure that was walking behind me, I took the chance to turn into a different street because I was already lost so I needed to make sure that I wasn't followed on top of that. The hooded figure was still walking behind me, at a safe distance for the moment but I was sure that it wouldn't last long.

I fished my phone out of my bag ignoring all the missed calls and texts from Kendyn and decided to call my other half.

"Roro?" his voice resonated on the other end and a fresh pair of tears escaped my eyes.

"Damon." I sobbed out still walking.

"Rose, what is the matter? Are you crying? Scratch that you are crying. What happened? Did you see Kendyn?" at the mention of his name, a new sob racked my body.

"I need you, big brother. My car has a flat tire, I caught Kendyn with another girl prancing about his place half naked and now I'm single, lost and I think someone is following me." I whispered out the last part paranoid that the man behind me could hear me. There was noise in the background before I heard his voice again.

"Don't stop walking Ro, and try and find a crowded area in the light. I'm on my way to pick you up. I love you and whatever you do, DO NOT STOP WALKING. Ok? I'll be there soon ok? Stop crying and keep walking and make as much distance between you two."

He warned and there were more shuffling noises in the background till I heard the sound of car doors closing on his end of the line.

"Don't leave me, Damon." I whimpered.

"I'm not hanging up Rose, never will I leave you." I nodded realising he couldn't see me so I just hummed.

I started walking faster and the food steps behind me were doing the same. I got so scared and that's when I saw I familiar place. We were coming up to the Main Street that was full of people, cars, shops and light.

I ran for it only to hear the steps behind me match my pace.

"Damon, he's coming after me," I said scared about the outcome of this situation.

"Run Rose and don't stop, I'll be there in a few minutes. Hang in there." I could feel his fear on the phone and it made me pick my pace up even more.

I was so close to the end of the street but sadly I didn't run fast enough and the man that was following me caught me and held me against his chest.

"Let me go!" I thrashed around and tried screaming before he placed his hand over my mouth and pulling me back further into the alleyway that we were in.

"Rose? Rose?" I heard my brother call in the receiver.

I bit the hand of my attacker making him let out a string of colourful words.
