Hey guys so this is an idea that I've had for a while now, and I'm finally going to try it out so let me know what you guys think!

Full summary: A few months after Rose and Lissa leave the academy they run into a pack of strigoi, and they will trade Lissa's safety for one thing: Rose. Now after three years Rose is a trained assassin for a group of strigoi and only focuses on making it to the next day. What happens when Lissa and the gang see her? What happens when the program Rose is apart of gets taken down by a group of guardians and she has to return to the Academy? Will she ever recover?

So here are some FYI's: Everyone know's what Spirit is but it is extremely rare.

Adrian is the same age as everyone else.

Story takes place at the time of Frostbite.

Prologue

Rose pov

It had been a few months since we left the academy and so far things had been going good for us. We had no problems finding money or finding a place to live. We used Lissa's bank account for everything we needed on our "vacation" and right now we were currently staying in Iowa, which had a really low strigoi count.

We were on our way to school on a cloudy day, weather forecasts predicted rain today and I wanted to get to school before it actually did start to rain.

"Come on Liss," I urged her forward, "I don't want to be rained on." She laughed at me and began to walk slower. I groaned at her and she began to sprint ahead. "Lissa!" I ran after her until I felt someone grab my neck from behind. I gave a loud scream in panic before I saw ten strigoi holding my and Lissa.

"Well what do we have here?" The first one growled, "Vasilisa Dragomir and her 'guardian' Rosemarie Hathaway." The rest of the strigoi laughed coldly at us as the first strigoi lifted me up higher. I caught a glimpse at Lissa while being hosted into the air; she looked absolutely terrified. She was surrounded by five strigoi that were all looking at her with hunger. One of them grabbed her and exposed her neck, and I knew beforehand what he had planned.

"Don't touch her," I growled at them while the strigoi that had me in the air chuckled.

"Or what?" I kicked him hard in his manhood and used a defensive maneuver that I hadn't used in a few months, but it worked because he fell flat on his back. I ran and found a metal rod before the fight began. I had no idea what I was doing, but I kept dodging, punching, and kicking wherever I could. I struck the metal rod into the strigoi somewhere in his chest, but I wasn't paying attention to where. His eyes rolled back into his head signaling that he was down for the count. One of the strigoi that held Lissa let go as he lunged at me. I struck him with the rod in his stomach and he howled in pain. As good as I was fighting I was still heavily outnumbered.

One grabbed my arm that held the rod and yanked me back. I yelped in pain before another strigoi grabbed my other arm in an attempt to hold me down, but in the end it took six strigoi to hold me down as I kept wiggling and screaming. The strigoi that I had it with the pole finally got up and looked at me with anger and awe. He came up to me and held my chin while he studied me.

"Fascinating," he muttered, "How did you manage that? How did you fight all of us?" I spat at him and he grinned before walking back to Lissa.

"Don't touch her," I screamed out at him. He chuckled at me.

"Would you be willing to make a trade?" I stopped squirming for a second to look at him confused. Sensing my confusion he explained further, "How about we let Vasilisa go if, and only if, you come with us."

"No!" Lissa screamed in defiance at the strigoi, but one of them put a hand over her mouth. That didn't stop the tears that were pouring down her cheeks. I thought about his offer, Lissa would go free?

"I'll only agree if you let her go back to the Academy in peace," he nodded at me.

"Of course no harm will go to Vasilisa if you come with us." I was still a little hesitant on one thing.

"Why do you want me?" I asked him and he chuckled.

"Do we have a deal or not," he asked me. I nodded and all of the strigoi let go of me and Lissa. I ran over to her and held her in my arms. She was sobbing extremely hard but I had to get her to listen to me.

"Lissa," I forced her to look at me, "call the guardians and go back to the academy." She shook her head and clung to me harder. She sobbed out a bunch of words that I didn't understand, but at that moment a strigoi gripped my shoulder and yanked me backwards. "Go back to the Academy Lissa, I love you sis." They dragged me into a few cars and threw me into the back.

"Take us back," one of the strigoi said to a human driver. I gasped in shock at the fact that a human was helping them. Two of the strigoi surrounded me in the back seat while the others got in the front or in the other car. The strigoi who made me an offer turned back to look at me.

"My name is Hale I will be training you for battle."

I had a really bad feeling about this.

Lissa pov

No, no, no, no, no this could not be happening. The strigoi who held me suddenly let go as Rose rushed over to me. I clung to her while I sobbed into her shirt she took my chin with her finger and forced me to look at her.

"Lissa call the guardians and go back to the academy." What about her? I shook my head and sobbed harder into her.

"Don't go, you can't leave me," I sobbed to her, but I don't think she could understand me. She stroked my hair in a comforting manner before she was ripped from me. I looked at her and saw that she was being dragged from me by a strigoi.

"Go back to the Academy, I love you sis," I wanted to scream out that I loved her too, but they tossed her into a car before getting in and driving away. I broke down and sobbed onto the sidewalk for I don't know how long. By the time I was finally stable enough to get up it was about lunch time. I walked shakily back to the hotel room that we had rented for the past month and flopped onto the bed only crying harder. I refused to believe that Rose was gone, she was a fighter, and she would live. By the time the sun began to lower in the sky I was shakily holding the phone to call the Academy like Rose had instructed me.

"St. Vladimir's Academy," I recognized the voice of the secretary that worked for Headmistress Kirova. She was a middle aged moroi that had always been nice to me back at the Academy.

"I need help," I sobbed out into the phone.

"Vasilisa?" she asked as I heard some shuffling in the background.

"Vasilisa is that you?" Headmistress Kirova asked me.

"Yes," I couldn't control the sobs that took over my body.

"Where are you? Where is Rosemarie?" I sobbed harder and I was barely able to get out the location of our hotel and our room number before I hung up. A few hours later the door burst open and guardians filled the room. I recognized a few of them from the academy and a few of them from Court, but there was a really tall guardian that looked in charge that I didn't know. He came over to me and leaned down in front of my bed while the rest of the guardians looked around the room.

"Are you okay princess?" I slowly nodded my head. "My name is Dimitri Belikov; I'm going to take you back to the academy okay? Where is Rosemarie?" I sobbed at Rose's name. I still couldn't believe she gave herself over to them to save my life.

"She- she," I couldn't finish my sentence as sobs once again controlled me. I felt someone put their arms around me and I looked up to see Alberta Petrov. She was another guardian from the academy that I had known before we left.

"What happened to Rose?" she had been pretty close to Rose before we left and was using her nickname. I wiped my eyes and sniffled my nose before answering the two guardians.

"We were on our way to school when ten strigoi attacked," I began to shake but Guardian Petrov comforted me once again, "they were going to bite me, but Rose fought against them." The two guardians looked slightly shocked at this. "After the pinned her down again they made her an offer."

"What did they tell her?" Guardian Belikov asked me.

"They told her that if she went with them that they would let me go, and she agreed," I cried out. He said some things in a language I didn't know before taking his phone out and leaving the room. The guardians led me out of the room and soon we were on a jet plane back to the academy. They asked me questions concerning Rose, but I didn't answer any of them. After an hour or so Guardian Belikov came and sat down in front of me while holding a file.

"Here," he said handing me a bottle of water and I drank it greedily. I hadn't noticed how thirsty I was until I felt the water touch my lips. "Can you tell me about Rosemarie?"

"Rose," I corrected him, "she liked to be called Rose." He nodded his head.

"Can you tell me more about Rose?"

"What am I supposed to say?" seriously did this guy have any emotions?

"Was it her idea to leave the academy?" I jumped up from my seat.

"SHE WAS PROTECTING ME!" he seemed shocked that I had retaliated like this before his mask went back up.

"If she was protecting you then she should have come to the guardians," he told me and I felt my anger spike to uncontrollable levels.

"YOU DON'T GET IT, THEY WOULD HAVE SENT ME AWAY!" tears were now rolling down my face likes a waterfall.

"Who would have princess?" I leaned back in my seat a little embarrassed by my outburst.

"They would have sent me away like Ms. Karp," I said softly and the guardian looked at me shocked.

"You're a Spirit user," he said awed, "we wouldn't have sent you away princess, Ms. Karp was just mentally ill." How did he know I wasn't going to be ill too? How did he know anything? My nails were digging into the chair before I felt all of anger and darkness leaves my body.

That only meant one thing: Rose was alive.

So what did you think? was it good? Bad? Awful? i am working on chapter two right now so if you want to read more just review!
