Rose's POV

After Derrick and I left the castle that night, I started to get very excited. I mean the anticipation was practically killing me!! I had waited so long for this night to happen. A night where I could finally get the chance to go exploring!!

It almost felt too good to be true!! I couldn't believe it was actually happening!! I was actually going to see the city of Rome!! How cool is that?! Most people only get that opportunity maybe once in a lifetime. Some don't even get it at all. 

 So the fact that I was one of those few lucky people made me feel so blessed. I've been wanting to go see the city ever since we got here. However I didn't think I would have much of a chance to with everything that's been going on lately. I figured it would be too much of a risk. 

But yet at the end of the day here I was, going off with Derrick to face the unknown. And now that it was actually happening, I couldn't be more thrilled about it. I was practically ecstatic. The word calm didn't seem to exist in my dictionary anymore.

Because as soon as we got outside, I immediately started to get all jittery. Which made it nearly impossible for me to sit still. I felt like I had ants in my pants or something. I mean I was literally jumping up and down like a little girl as we walked past the castle gates.

I may have been a little hyper to say the least. Actually, scratch that. I'm going to be brutally honest. I was really freaking hyper. Like I'm talking bouncing off the walls hyper. And I'm sure if anyone other than Derrick saw me right now, they would think I was nuts.

And to be honest I probably was. But I couldn't help it though. I was just so excited that I couldn't seem to control myself anymore. I had all this energy building up inside me and I just needed to let it all out.

Even Derrick seemed to noticed my excitement and began to look at me funny as I ran around him in circles using my vampire speed. He then started to laugh and shook at his head at me. I rolled my eyes at him in response.

"You really are something lass." He told me with an amused look on his face.

He obviously thought that I looked ridiculous, but I didn't care. I was too excited to even bother. I mean how could I not be? It's not every day you get an opportunity like this, and I wanted too enjoy every single second of it.
