The moment Rose found out Lissa was here, she stopped thinking about anything else. Even Jill being missing was something that came second next to Lissa and it had nothing to do with Lissa being the queen of the Moroi. Lissa was Rose's best friend in the whole world. She loved her like a sister, but it was so much more than that. Even without the bond that used to let Rose listen in on exactly what her friend was thinking and feeling, Rose and Lissa had an unshakable connection. They were forever bound in other ways. If Lissa needed her, Rose was going to be there, end of story. And right now, they were both stuck in a strange place with god knew what roaming around out there. Rebekah had mentioned a whole bunch of not good sounding things and there was no way Rose was leaving Lissa out there alone. No freakin' way.

As soon as she had a location, Rose put her phone away and took off running. The network could wait. More answers and questions could wait. Nothing was as important to her as making sure Lissa was safe. She silently cursed the loss of the bond in moments like these, even if it was better to not have to deal with the less awesome aspects of it. Not having a front row seat to her best friend's sex life and not having to deal with all the awesome shadow-kissed side effects was pretty awesome, but if they'd still been bound, Rose would have known instantly that Lissa was here. She would have known where to find her and whether she was okay. Instead, without that little psychic GPS to guide her, she had to rely on the information Lissa had given her and her own wits.

She knew instantly when she saw Lissa that she was in a bad way. She was pale, even for a Moroi. There wasn't enough color in her cheeks and she looked ready to topple over any second. Without even thinking about it, Rose swept her long hair to the said and offered up her neck. "You need to eat. Like, right now," she said in a tone that should have suggested it wouldn't do Lissa much good to argue. It had been a long time since Rose had played feeder for her, but there was no question of whether she was willing when Lissa obviously needed blood right away.
