Christian POV:

We were having a small get together, Me, Lissa, Rose, Dimitri, Adrian, Eddie, and Jill.

Rose and Me were bickering as always, giving the diner a small feeling of normality.

Well, as normal as it could get.

Nothing in our lives was really 'normal'.

My girlfriend is the queen of an ancient race of mortal vampires, her best friend died twice, my guardian is an ex strigoi, and my aunt murdered the former queen and blamed it on one of my best friends.

Like Rosie said; "Weird doesn't even begin to cover it."

But the diner time bickering was reassuring. Somethings never change.

You could cut the tension in this room with a knife, everyone knew it.

The love triangle between Rose, Dimitri, and Adrian was probably the worst.

Everytime, Dimitri made a joke, Adrian tensed and added a rude retort.

Rose kept sending Adrian disapproving looks.

The other problem was Jill and Lissa.

Lissa was slowly starting to warm up to her, but you could tell Liss was still uncomfortable, everytime she looked at Jill she saw her father cheating on her mother. That is hard to get over, but it's hardly Jill's fault.

The tension was soon forgotten though, when men in all black jumped out of nowhere.

The guardians took action, standing defensively around Me, and Lissa.

But no one ran for Jill.

Rose and Eddie seemed to realize this to, and left the circle to help the crown princess.

Rose knocked down a couple of the rebels, but more were coming, she urged Eddie to go on while she dealt with the rest of our attackers.

But one superior rebel, got Rose with a knife.

I watched in horror as the knife entered her abdomen. She let out a strangled gasp as she tumbled to the ground.

"Rose!"

"Roza!"

"Roooosssseee!"

People screamed her name, Distracting Eddie.

Lissa and me broke out of the safety of the circle. I held Rose as Lissa healed her.

Dimitri ran forward and picked Rose up, while I helped Lissa get back to safety, using so much magic had taken it's toll on her.

But like I said all the commotion had distracted Eddie from getting to Jill.

But the attackers had all THIER focus on harming the princess.

Another dagger was out, and in flash the knife entered the stomach of the only living relative of the queen.

By then the backup guardians had come and subdued the rebels.

Adrain ran over to Jill, shock and horror written on his face.

Before we knew it, the princess was unconscious, as was Adrian.

But their was no wound on Jill's pale skin.

Rose woke up a day after the attack, Jill was still unconscious.

Dimitri and Lissa were ecstatic that she was safe but one thing puzzled us.

When Rose woke up, she didn't feel the bond.

Liss and Rose should have been bonded right?

It made no sense.

Me and Lissa decided we should consult Sonya karp, and in doing so we gave Rose and Dimitri some alone time.

But then, the impossible happened.

I loved him so much, his lips on mine was the only thing that mattered.

I was so close to leaving him, and we poured all our emotions into that one kiss, sparks flew between us, just like it always did with Dimitri and me.

HOLD UP! What the fuck. I was so not gay, and I have NEVER kissed Dimitri, nor will I ever.

"Christian!" The voice of angel called me back to reality.

"Wow."

"Chris, what's wrong you totally zoned out!"

"I don't know... It was probably nothing come on, we have to find Sonya." I told my worried girl friend.

"Christian, your majesty." Sonya nodded in greeting.

But Crazy Karp's eyes lingered on me, it was kinda creepy.

"what?" I asked.

"Christian, your aura looks funny. Did you die recently?"

Okay, this woman was officially giving me the creeps.

"What?! No!"

"Your bonded to someone."

Her words made no sense. At first.

Soon the truth dawned upon me.

Rose not being able to feel Lissa.

Me kissing Dimitri.

"Lissa," I said my voice wavering.

"what!" She asked worry laced in her sweet voice.

"I think I'm bonded to..." I trailed off the shock of my theory finally sinking in.

"To who?!" Lissa asked.

"Rose, I think I'm bonded to Rose."

Shit.

Lissa looked at me like I had three heads.

I quickly filled her and Sonya in on what really happened when I zoned out.

"Okay, Christian did you have any physical connection to Rose, when she was being healed."

"Ya, I was holding her."

"Christian, what I believe happened was you were caught in the crossfire."

"I'm lost."

"When Vasilissa healed Rose instead of Rose being bonded to the spirit user, she was bonded to you. You were caught in the cross fire of the creation of the bond."

"So she'll be able to enter his mind?" Lissa asked in shock.

"No the opposite. Meaning that Christian will feel Rose's emotions and get pulled into her head."

Double shit.

The world swayed, and darkness washed over me, Rose, I was bonded to ROSE!

Fuck.
