Jack's P.O.V.- Present Day

I watch as Kirstin goes limp Alec's arms, waiting for her eyes to close, nodding for Mason to take her when they do. Before he can, Alec is easily resting her on a couch across from a wide-awake Rose and a blonde woman who keeps glancing at Mason. A black haired man with icy blue eyes stands in the doorway. His eyes are so pretty. Next to him was a man in a long leather coat, long brown hair to match.

"What the hell is going on here?" The blonde questions, more confused than angry, catching sight of the body on the floor, "Is that a dead body?"

Rose stands up, "Calm down, Lisa. Nobody here did it, there was an attack. Some psycho was after Max, killed him after knocking me out. Had a fucking brick. Took three hits from him to get me down, blocked the first one, the second one barely hit me and the third one, I don't think I need to elaborate." She gestures to Sam and Dean, "They're friends, calm down and stand up. We need to move the couch." Standing up, pulling Lisa up with her, she turned to the brothers, nodding toward the couch.

Sighing simultaneously, they move over to pick up the couch, moving to against the wall that connects to the kitchen wall setting it in front of the desk that sits there. Rose moves to the floor, pulling up the floorboard and pulling something out. I don't get a chance to look because Kirstin's voice makes me turn my head to look at her, "The next person that decides knocking me out is a good idea is getting fucking socked. Hi, Rose. You look a lot better without blood gushing from your head."

Rose, who had put the board back stands up, tossing a box at Kirstin, who catches it with a yelp, "Thanks Kirstin, you'd look a lot better taking the spell off of that instead of trying to out-sass the Sass Queen. Get to work, chop-chop. Sam, Dean, Comrade, we're going to go give Max a hunter's burial out back. Oh, you too Sparky, I don't have a lighter on me."

The black-haired man rolls his eyes, "I see you haven't changed one bit, Rosie. Still got guys hanging on your every word, still a total bitch."

"Hanging off her every word?" Sam laughs as Dean speaks, "Nah, we're the only one who knows what a hunter's burial is. Trust me, if I really wanted to get with Rose, I wouldn't be the one chasing." Kirstin giggles, watching the guy Rose called Comrade carefully. She stands putting a grossed out face on before she speaks.

"I mean, I would almost be down with that, except I don't need one cousin dating the other, no matter if they're from two completely different sides of the family. It's just weird." I laugh looking over at Mason who does a really, terrified smile, looking at me with wide eyes. One glance at him makes me laugh harder, earning a spike of laughter throughout the room.

When I finally calm down, Rose is gone, Sam and Dean moving toward the door, 'Sparky' standing next to them and the other guy behind them. He was the first one to leave though, brushing past them easily and quickly, Sam and Dean went next, the black-haired guy trailing behind slightly. Kirstin is focusing on the box, eyes glowing gold as a harsh force-field-like light appears around it. I watch as she pushes harder, causing a shake from the box, then a blast that sends her flying over the couch.

Lisa and the black haired guy move to help her up, only to stop when the box just floats in mid-air, staring in an uncomfortable gaze. Kirstin bounces up from behind the couch, cheering as she hurdles over it, snatching the box, eyes fading to her normal blue as she grabs it. Magnus and Alec appear from the kitchen, "What was the commotion about?" Magnus' eyes look a little red like he was maybe crying, speaking with concern. Kirstin easily bounced over to him, looking proud of herself.

"I got the box open. Now I don't have to look in his head to see what's inside. See why it's important." I stop her before she opens it.

"We should wait for everybody. We don't know what's in there." She groans, setting the box on the coffee table, watching 'Sparky' about to leave. She laughs, catching his attention.

"You know you don't have to go out there, right? She just doesn't want you and him talking to Mason. My uncles have lighters on them at all times. What's your name? Unless you want me to call you Sparky?"

"It's Christian. Christian Ozera. This is-" He gestures to the blonde woman next to him.

"Queen Vasilisa Dragomir. You two are Moroi royalty. You control fire and you," She points a finger at her, wiggling a finger, "control Spirit. Which is good, I want to talk to you."

"Kirstin-" Mason and I say at the same time, stepping toward her. Lisa smiles a small, almost happy looking smile.

"Your Spirit partner and your...?" Lisa begins softly, looking towards us before looking at Kirstin again.

"My cousin. Do you mind if I ask you about some stuff?" She gestures between Mason and me. Lisa laughs, looking at Mason.

"As long as he's willing to talk. You guys are a team now, it would be better if you guys made a decision together." They catch glances, seeming to communicate with each other. I look over at Lisa.

"How do you know Rose?" I ask while they do... whatever it is they are doing.

"We were best friends. She was actually my Shadow-kissed partner. Our bond broke nearly twenty years ago after I brought her back a second time. I haven't... haven't seen her in a while, she left a few months later. We still don't know why."

Kirstin snorts from across the room, "I can give you a reason." Mason laughs, shaking his head.

"Me. Obviously. I'm a Dhampir that has Moroi powers, my father was another Dhampir. Probably that guy that just left here." Lisa starts to shake her head, making a noise of disapproval, "My name is Mason Belikov. Tell me that's not his last name, I'll believe you."

"Mason spilling the tea over here." Kirstin jokes moving to tug on Magnus' arm, whispering in his ear. He grabs Alec's hand and the three move to the kitchen. I stand awkwardly in the corner looking at the ground. This is going to be a long night.
