Rose POV

The second I made it out of the church I let the tears fall. After all I had done, after everything I had sacrificed my life had lead me to those four words 'Love fades, mine has.' I started running towards the gym with the hope that beating up a dummy would make me feel better but a shout of my name made me stop and turn around.

"What the hell was that Rose!" Lissa said angrily. "How could you be so mean to Dimitri."

"Lissa please," I said quietly not having the energy to argue with her.

"No Rose, you listen to me," she said with her eyes narrowed, "If you aren't willing to leave Dimitri alone then I think you should go away for a bit. Go for a holiday in Texas or France or wherever for all I care and long as you're giving Dimitri the space he deserves to recover."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Not only did Dimitri hate me but now Lissa did too. That's when I decided that I would go away but it wouldn't be for a holiday, I wasn't coming back. As the tears fell harder I turned around and ran away from Lissa not wanting her to know how much her words broke me.

A few minutes later I ended up at Adrian's door. Adrian and I had decided to call it quits a bit over a month ago when we heard there was a chance to change Dimitri back. He didn't want me to have to choose between them and honestly it barely affected our relationship. He was one of my closest friends and I was definitely going to miss him.

"Hey Little Dhampir what's wrong?" he asked noticing my tear stained face.

I told him what had happened and he didn't hesitate in giving me a hug and offering me money to get away as long as I promised to stay in touch. He also decided he would drive me to the airport and together we started walking to his car. On the way we ran into Eddie and I couldn't have been more pleased for the chance to say goodbye to such a good friend.

"Rose! Are you okay? Mia saw everything and told me what happened," he said.

After I told him I was leaving he decided he was going to come with us to the airport and having the two of them with me helped me calm my fear of what I was going to do next.

When we got to the airport I couldn't help let out a few more tears as I said goodbye to my boys. I promised to stay in touch with both of them and in exchange they promised to tell no one where I was. I needed a new start.

As my plane lifted off I leaned my head on the window and watched as the ground faded away and as I flew into the sky I also flew into the unknown.

3 Years Later

"Oi, get up Shortstuff we're going to be late," Sebastian's annoying voice interrupted my sleep.

"Go away," I groaned throwing a pillow at him before pulling the covers over my head.

"I'll buy you a donut," he replied with a knowing smile. My face lit up in a grin.

"Really?!" I asked as I jumped out of bed with energy I didn't even know I had.

He smirked at me, "Have I ever lied to you?"

"Have I ever told you you're my favorite?" I asked as I grabbed my clothes and headed for the bathroom

"Plenty of times," he replied with a wink, "But I never get tired of hearing it"

20 minutes later we walked into the DMPA with donuts and coffees in hand. The Dhampir Moroi Protection Agency (DMPA) is a secretive agency that keeps Dhampirs and Moroi from all over the world safe. When our sources detect a threat that we believe regular guardians won't be able to deal with, we take care of it. Whether it's a Moroi serial killer or a group of a 100 Strigoi we are the people that are called when it's an emergency that no one else is capable of stopping. The agency is so secretive that many people believe it is just a myth and unless you are one of the few who manages to become an agent, you will know next to nothing about how the place runs. 2 and a 1/2 years ago Sebastian and I went through the trials you have to undergo to get into the agency with nearly 100 other people. We were the only ones to get in.

"This is so good," I moaned as I bit into my donut, "How are you even single? You're charming, good looking and you buy people food that tastes like heaven."

"Aww you're always so flattering when you have a donut in your hand," Sebastian said with a smirk, "It's shame you're so bitchy every other time."

"Hey!" I said indignantly, "I may be mean to other people when they deserve it but I'm always nice to you."

"I'm kidding," he replied, "You know you're always going to my favorite although I have to say I think that part of the reason I'm single is because all the dashing young men I would consider dating think I'm dating you."

"Ahh well, it's not my fault I'm so loveable," I said with a shrug.

Sebastian sent me his usual smirk before we kept happily eating our donuts.

"Hey guys," Dan said as he sidled up next to me.

"Hey Dannyboy," I said feeling happy to see him until he did the worst possible thing... reached his hand out and tried to take some of my donut.

"Oi," I growled, "Don't even think about going anywhere near my donut or I'll cut off your little toy and give it to you for christmas."

Most people paled or quickly shuffled away when I delivered a threat but Dan being well used to them by now just rolled his eyes and accepted some of Sebastian's donut instead.

After we got accepted into the DMPA we were put through an extreme training program 12 hours a day, 6 days a week for 8 months. St Vladimirs Academy was nothing compared to the skills I gained through that program. After we qualified the training we were put into a squad of 6 people and they have become family to me. One of the members was Dan who was good looking, strong and a kick ass fighter. He is also a bit of a player but is fiercely protective of his friends and we loved competing with each other.

The second and third members were Macy and Leia. Macy was a lot like me in some ways. She was gorgeous, fiery, reckless and I could always count on her to get drunk and go dancing with me if I needed to blow off some steam. She was also fierce in battle and I always found myself feeling relieve that the target of her dual blades wasn't me. Leia on the other hand was the brains of the team. She was a talented fighter like every other agent but what made her a real asset was her genius in coming up with plans and not letting anyone do anything too stupid and dangerous unless absolutely necessary.

The fourth member was Matt who was one of the sweetest guys you could ever meet. He was my go to person for any kind of reassurance or emotional advice and I was overly protective of him. He doesn't enjoy fighting as much as the rest of us but will have no trouble shooting Strigoi from any distance making them easy kills for the rest of us.

Finally there was Sebastian who was my flat mate and my best friend. We are so close that 90% of the agents at work think we are in a serious relationship but the truth is that I'm still hung up on a certain someone from my past and Sebastian plays for the other team. We had become friends when I first got to Europe lost and upset and he had helped me out when I was attacked by some Strigoi. He had convinced me to apply for the DMPA and we had been inseparable ever since. I have trusted him with my life time and time again and the squad looked to us to lead them. We had all been together as a squad nearly 2 years now and I absolutely loved them each to pieces.

Before I could think of a snarky comment to combat Dan's eye roll Leia came running into our break room looking stressed.

"Guys stop whatever you're doing and come with me," she said in a rush, "I think something big has happened. There are lots of people arguing in the main meeting room and Fig has called for an emergency meeting with our squad."

"Shit," Sebastian said as we all jumped up and followed her out the door.

Joan Fig was the president of the DMPA and it was extremely rare for her to call an emergency meeting so there was no way we were going to be late. When we reached the Meeting Room 1 we found that she had kicked everyone out except for Matt and Macy who must've arrived just before us.

"What's going on?" I asked as we sat down at the large table.

"Something's happened," Fig replied, "This morning the Queen was found murdered in her bed."

"What!" I gasped, "How is that possible? She has 12 guards posted at her door every night."

"All 12 were found dead," she said looking grim, "The killer dragged all their bodies and left them in the closest cleaning cupboard."

"Oh Lord," Matt said looking slightly pale.

"The guardians don't have any idea who the killer is and we have reason to think that he will strike again. You're my best squad and I need you to stay in court for a while and catch the killer before anyone else gets hurts. I will also need you guys to try keep the peace because the place has gone to hell since the news of the Queen's death spread and the debates over who the next queen should be are getting heated."

Fig and the rest of my squad kept talking but I barely listened as I sat there in shock. The Queen was dead and now I was being sent back to the very place I fled 3 years ago. I was being sent back to him.
