Well guys I'm back again for 24. And I'm coming up with more and more one the way. Remember to review and let me know what you want to see. Got any ideas to spice things up? Anything's welcome criticism, suggestions, pairings, I like hearing what you guys got to say and the more the merrier and the faster I post. So R&R and I will be back soon=)

Rose's POV

Somehow I always seemed to end up on somebody's list or in the back of a black van. Abe definitely didn't travel light. He had many Guardians and three black vans that he used to split the six of us up into two a car so we couldn't conspire again. No matter that I'd already started planning escape, but why'd everyone always expect the worst from me. Every single time…

I sat next to the window with Christian at my side and a Guardian at his. Abe sat in the passenger seat while one of his little minions drove lead back to the academy. Christian and I refused to speak. Abe kept quiet too. I was still in shock that Zmey was my father. I was miny Zmey. Zmey junior. My father was a mob boss that dumped my mother before I was born. Did he know? Probably. Did he care? Questionable.

When we got to the academy Alberta met us at the gate and forced all of us students to our rooms. We were all assigned detention and community service for the rest of the year. Not that we would be staying that long. I had to break Lissa out again, without all the baggage. We had to get out before he came. I couldn't let the school be destroyed, people would die; I would not have more blood on my hands. Mason was enough.

We would have to move soon, get out as soon as possible. Last time it was the heat of the moment, this time I would have more time to plan, like the first time. Only this time they wouldn't find us. The academy spent moths teaching us how to stay out of sight, to take care of ourselves. If I didn't want us to be found, we wouldn't. Ever again.

Christian and I went back to his dorm. Most people would think we just ditched school for a few days. It was only Wednesday and when we woke up it would have only been two days vampire time. Christian went to sleep immediately but I stayed awake. I sat against the wall on the mattress thinking of new ways of escape. I thought about Abe too, wondering if Janine was still around, if they would run into each other, what would happen. I also thought about them.

He was coming back, with Niefro, with more power than ever before and there was nothing I could do to stop him. I could kill him but someone else would just take his place. Everyone was always after the last of the Dragomir line and her best friend/ Guardian. I'd called in reinforcements. They would sty put, but ready whenever I called again. The Belikovs, a few rogues I'd met in Russia, a few more in Canada. A group of Guardians in Mexico, even my personal alchemist, Sydney. James called in a few friends from England and many more he'd met around the world.

If he was coming with an army we were going to be ready for him. We would not fail this time. If they brought the fight to us, we were ending it. I hoped deep in my gut it would never come to that, that Lissa and I would get away clean and not even he could find us.

I woke up in the morning to a knock at the door. When I went to answer it all I found was an envelope taped to the door. I tore it off and closed the door. Christian was awake too. "Read it," he said. I shrugged and tore open the seal. I expected another note from Niefro but it was unsigned, though I could figure who had written it.

Rosemarie Hathaway,

By now you must have heard of my return. I must say I'm disappointed in the news I've heard about you. Running away again? Tsk tsk. Though I might say you're getting quite good at it. One of these times I don't expect you and the princess will return. But ah, that is not the reason of this notice.

My friend has informed me of the note you have already received and no doubt of my news has things stirring up around there. I wanted to confirm to you in my own words that I am coming. Coming soon.

Go ahead and alert the forces, it won't do you much good. By now I'm sure you've learned that something as simple as a few Guardians isn't going to hold me back. When you set your mind to something, anything is possible. As well you should know.

The time has come again, for us to re-meet. I will see you all very, very soon. I hope your intently waiting because I know I'm quite excited for you to join the ranks.

Soon, my dear.

I shouldn't have been surprised. He liked these stupid games of his. It only confirmed everything I already thought I had to get Lissa and get out We wouldn't have much time so we would have to work fast It has to be in the next week or something bad may happen. Something I would be able to stop this time.

Christian and I got dressed before going to breakfast with Lissa and Eddie. Adrian didn't join us and James was nowhere to be seen. The twins, Evan and Zane sat with us as usual but no one seemed to speak once. They seemed to know something bad was amiss without anyone saying anything.

I followed Sparky through class, lunch detention and class again. We were attacked during one passing period but it barely took me a few seconds to stake the highly slow Stan. It was hardly any accomplishment to any kill I'd made. All of my tattooed back proved that. Christian only spoke when a teacher required it but stayed as silent as he used to be most of the day. Dinner was the same as our last two meals, the feeders went by quick and easy and we later all met up by the pond away from any possible eavesdroppers.

I refused to say anything around the guys, they would want to tag along and it wasn't happening. I would tell Lissa in private later. Instead we sat together and worried about the same thing we'd all feared for a long time. It had been a long senior year and it was getting worse and worse with every day. It seemed as if something had chosen us and only us to have all this crap dumped on which resulted in our crapshoot lives.

I only wished for a day we could be normal again. Go back to our old lives just for a day of pure bliss. Of normality.

Not likely.

Lissa and Christian wrapped up together; Eddie and I sat to the side playing an epic game of rock paper scissors. It was only when Eddie and I were getting way too into it and acting crazy that we all decided we were too bored for words and headed for the church to start our late night community service.

We cleaned the church from head to toe, attic and main floor. Something that wasn't new to me. I talked to Lissa a bit but we were split up by tasks and working too hard to care. The sooner we got done the sooner we got to sleep. We went past curfew and were escorted to our rooms. Nobody had to Guard on Fridays, we had classes, and so we went to our own rooms to sleep. I relished my own bed again and fell asleep fast with no dreams awaiting my early training with Alberta in the morning and boring classes during the day. It was not a day to look forward to.

Hola people I would now like to make it very pointedly clear that I have not yet revealed who it is that is conspiring with Niefro there have been real hints and false hints as to who it'll be to keep you all guessing Some of you may be thinking right some not but I haven't seen much guessing and I would like to. Lol review please=))33
