Rose sat near the small pond that she had found a few hours earlier after she ran like she had never ran before. She looked at her reflection in the water and saw that she had bags under her eyes and tear trails on her cheeks. After she gained most of her strength back, Rose remembered how Katrina had told her several times that if she ever got lost in the wilderness to find water, food, fire, and a shelter. She had found two of those things; a water source and she had somehow started a fire after several failed attempts.

"I'm so scared," Rose mumbled as she looked all around her. It was still night time and morning wouldn't be around for several hours. "I want to go home. I wish this was all some big bad dream. I just want to go home to Papa."

As Rose sat by the fire, she wiped the tears from her eyes. I hope everyone else is okay, she thought. They're still there at the house.

That's when Rose's eyelids began to droop. She felt sleepiness overtake her body as she drifted off to dreamland, unaware that someone was heading towards her little campsite.

Rose's Dream

Everywhere Rose looked, she saw darkness. "Hello?" she called out. "Is anyone there?" Rose then decided to walk around to see if she could find someone. "Hello? Papa? Zio Romano? Tye? Katrina? Anyone?"

That's when Rose caught a glimpse of someone from behind her. She turned to see that it was her Father, smiling at her with his kind grin. "There you are bambina," he said as he outstretched his hand towards her. "Let's go home."

Rose smiled at her Father and at the thought of going home. She was about to place her hand into his when he saw that there was a devious smirk on his face. She retracted her hand and looked up at her "Father" as his formed changed to that of Luciano. Rose backed away in fear as Luciano advanced towards her.

"What's wrong Rose?" he asked. "Are you scared?"

Rose didn't say anything as she backed away. She tried to run away but couldn't make it in time and was grabbed by Luciano. "Papa, help me!" she cried out.

"Your Papa isn't coming to save you bambina," Luciano told her as he started taking her deeper into the darkness. "You're mine now."

"Papa!"

End of Dream

Rose shot up from her sleep and saw that she had been shaking. She looked around and was shocked to find someone was walking towards her campsite. She ducked behind a rock and peeked out only a little bit to see that no one was there. "I got nervous for no reason," Rose sighed. "No one is here."

"Ciao Rose~," a voice called out, making Rose jump in fright and climb one of the large trees. She shook like a leaf and then looked down to see that it was her Great-Grandpa Rome. "Rose, what are you doing in a tree?"

"Grandpa Rome?" Rose asked as she slowly went down the tree. "Is that really you?"

"Si, who else would it be?" Rome asked as he helped Rose down. Rose smiled, happy to find that it was indeed her grandfather. She hugged him around the neck and held tightly to him, crying into his shirt. "Rose, what's wrong?"

Rose just continued to cry so Rome tried rocking her back and forth to calm her down.

********************

After a while, Rose calmed down and explained what happened. "I see," Rome stated as he stirred the pasta in the pot. (He had brought pasta and a pot with him). "So you are dealing with the 2Ps?"

"Si Grandpa, and I don't know what to do. Did you have a 2P?"

"Oh yeah, he was very annoying. He was always going out and conquering land, watching things at the Coliseum, and he gave his own grandchildren swords to play with! Who gives their own grandchildren swords?! He was very crazy!"

"He sounds very crazy. How did you deal with him?"

"Well he went off to pillage and never came back."

"Oh. Well, what do you think I should do Grandpa? I'm not strong. And there are too many 2Ps. What do I do?"

"I'm not sure. That's a tough question to answer...To be honest Rose, I don't know what to do."

Rose sighed.

"But I'm sure you'll figure out what to do." Rome gave Rose a kiss on her head and then got up. "Well I have to get going."

"But Grandpa Rome-"

"You'll be fine, don't worry. I'll see you later Rose." With that, Rome walked off before Rose could say anything else.

*******************

An hour later, after Rose had gotten some sleep, Rose heard something that caused her to wake-up. Rose sat up slowly and rubbed her eyes. She heard the rustling and waited for to see who it was. She gasped when she saw that it was Katrina. "Katrina!" Rose called out as she ran over and hugged her best friend.

"There you are Rose," Katrina said with concern. "I've been so vorried about you."

"I'm sorry Katrina. I didn't mean to make you worried."

"Vell I found you so that's vhat matters,"

Rose smiled at Katrina and then looked at her eyes. Katrina's eyes were blue, not violet. Then Rose noticed that there was a scar running across her cheek. A smirk formed on the girl's face as Rose backed away. "Something vrong Rose?" she questioned as Rose backed away.

"Y-Y-You're not Katrina," Rose muttered. "W-Who are you?"

"I am Resi, and you're coming with me one vay or another."

Rose backed away before she turned and ran as fast as she could through the woods, knowing Resi was chasing after her. She ran until she saw a cave and hid in it, watching Resi run by the cave.

Things keep going from bad to worse, Rose thought. What do I do?

As Rose was thinking, she didn't see the person behind her place a hand on her mouth and dragged her deeper into the cave.
