                    Rose's POV
                   ~~~~~~~~~~~
I would like to start by introducing myself; my name is Rosalinda Ria Snow but everyone calls me Rose except my dad who calls me Rosie and this is my story.

My dad;Jon doesn't stay with us as he and my mom;Cynthia got separated when i was 8 years. Though it is quite obvious to everyone that both my parents still love each other yet Lord knows why they still stay away.

My dad lives in Mexico and works exclusively in a wildife conservation of some sort and he and i have the best relationship ever despite being a few states away. On the other hand my mom works as a writer though she works from home to be able to keep an eye on my sister and i.

My sister,Lutessa and i are always at logger heads with each other, I mean don't get me wrong I love my sister to death and always have her back as she does but we have both come to the conclusion that being in each other's space just isn't the best for us.

Pulling up to the driveway of our house in Tess's BMW I can already hear both her and mom's voices. They are both so similar that it's frightening, sighing I walk up to the house and announce myself before going in;

"Honey,I'm home" I call opening the screen door and removing my boots placing them by the door. My mom is obsessed with tidyness, personally i think she suffers from an obsessive-compulsive disorder which apparently has a name and suprise they are called 'Germaphobes'.

"In the kitchen sweetheart" mom calls back, hanging my jacket by on the coat rack i gently place my bag on the table before heading to the kitchen. Entering the kitchen I see Tess and mom laughing and unpacking groceries, mom's got her hair up in a bun with a few strands framing her face and I think how ironic it is that I got her red hair and green eyes yet she and i can not be any different.

"Did you guys get any granola bars for me oh and dad says to expect his call" I ask , Tess shrugs and throws me two granola bars from one of the shopping bags  while mom tries to hide how my news just made her day; key word 'tried' as she and i share a skin tone that basically announces to the world whatever we are feeling like right now her cheeks are a shade of red that  matches the tomatoes on the kitchen table.

I sit on one of the chairs in the kitchen munching on a granola bar while texting with my best friend Jake till I feel someone's stare and when i lift my head i see mom glaring at me, i freeze mid bite wondering what i did wrong this time and  my lovely sister points out the crumbs littering the table where I've been leaning on,grinning sheepishly I apologize to mom and deposit the crumbs in the bin.

"Happy now" I ask mom and she shakes her head at me her green eyes which are very similar to mine shinning with amusement. "Very,now what else did your father say" she asks leaning against the counter smiling from ear to ear which makes both Tess and I gag.

"Why don't you two just get back together you obviously still love each other and technically you guys never divorced" Tess voices  the question that has always been lingering in both our  minds but like always mom shrugs and refuses to answer, sighing I reply her question about dad,

"Nothing much just that he had something to tell you and that he'll call tonight". Rising from the stool where I was perched i turn heading towards the door when Tess stops me, "Where are you going didn't you just get back home like 30 minutes ago" Turning I see she's got her hands on her waist and one of her eyebrows raised, "I didn't realize I had to ask your permission to go out " I sass her to which she rolls her eyes at me as a reply and just to piss her off i add, "By the way i ran into tyler on my way home and he asked about you, something about you ignoring him".

"what's with you and Tyler ,do you like the guy or something" Tess spits out angrily and I roll my eyes 'here we go again' I think. "Girls that's enough " mom says trying to diffuse the situation as always. "I'm just disappointed that a girl as smart as you can't see that the guy's crazy about you,Tess grow up" I tell her  but before she can put in another word mom cuts in again, "Rose, that's your sister's decision to make, Tess, your sister wants the best for you and the least you both can do is be civilized with each other, either way I want you both out of the house". mom says to the both of us.

Grumbling we both stumble out of the house while mom calls after us, "Dinner's at 8,don't be late girls and remember I love you both".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jon Snow or 'rip hunter' as he has been known as for the past decade leans again the fieplace in his home in mexico gazing at a particular frame of his family hanging on the wall, it was one of those summer holidays his younger daughter enjoyed and they had all posed for the photograph on the beach; his hand wrapped around that of his wife as she stood in front of him with her hands placed over his smiling while his daughters splashed each other in the background, the picture was taken by a young girl by the name Cara who offeered. Sighing he picked up the phone and dialled a number and seconds later a familiar voiced was heard over the line,

"hello, Jon"the voice called soft and melodic just like he remembered. "hey beautiful,how's your book coming up"he asked her walking over to the window watching his neighbours play with their kids around their lawn. "great as always although I'm having a hard time reaching the deadline as the girls are fighting  constantly"she finally admitted.

"Actually that's why I called I thought about it and I think it best if Rosie came to stay with me for her senior year and I know she's been in Cali all her life but you also know that it's the best solution, the girls need a little bit of space and cali isn't so far away you could come visit" I offer her knowing she'll worry and i can hear the worry in her voice when she finally replies, "I don't know Jon,that's a big move even for her besides mexico's really large" 

"Quite the contrary cariño ,I think it'll be good for her anyways she's not a kid anymore, 16 is quite mature". sighing she agrees, "very well,but at least let me be the one to tell her that I'm sending her off to her mexico even though i'm fairly certain she'll be excited knowing she'll be living with you". I smile knowing she relented, "of course cariño,I can barely refuse you anything and our daughter reminds me of you in many ways ".

I freeze when she asks a question i rather not delve into, "do u think that she's like you because she keeps telling me that vampires exist" I sigh before replying knowing that it's best i be honest "No love,Rosie is definitely not like me neither is she human and although i do not know what she is, i do know that it's best she stay wih me as she already maturing and it'll be easier for me to explain things to her when the time comes". muttering under her breath she sighes heavily   before replying , "let me talk to her first but I won't promise anything ".

"That's all i ask my love, say hi to the girls for me and try not to worry too much" i tell her, we say our goodbyes and i feel relieved knowing my little girl will be here soon, i can hardly wait.
