-Chapter 1- This is the thing!

"Okay," I said, catching on at last. "What's his name?"

"Rolan," Viktoria said. "Oh, Rose. He's amazing. And this is the last night I'll get to see him before school."

I didn't know whether to feel happy for her or sad for Nikolai. This Rolan guy must have been the reason she couldn't give Nikolai the time of day. She was totally in love with someone else. Still, that dress . . .

"You must really like him," I observed dryly.

Her eyes widened "Do you want to meet him?"

"Er, well, I don't want to interfere with your date . . ." I rush out not wanting to sound rude. "Maybe some other time, okay?" I add, as I see her face fall for only a moment, then bounce back.

"Okay, but I promise I'll see you tonight when I get home. We'll stay up all night. Mom won't care." She says as she finishes her make-up and finishing touches on her outfit. (Dress on profile)

She hugs me, whispering a quick goodbye, before leaving to meet Rolan. She's so silent leaving the house that I didn't even hear the door close behind her. She can be very sneaky when she wants to be. I laugh internally at how much she's like Dimitri. My heart hurts just thinking about him but I know I need to move on soon and find him.

I walk downstairs, after a few moments collecting myself. Karolina is sitting in the living room alone; she looks up once she notices me standing in the hall.

"Hi Rose! What are you up to? I thought you would have gone to the party with Viktoria." She says as I sit next to her. I smile but shrug, trying to hide the truth of where Viktoria really is.

"I'm kind of tired and decided to stay ho-here." I reply, just barely catching myself when I was about to say home. Could this really be an option for me, to make this place my new home? Karolina answers my thoughts.

"Rose... Have you ever thought about … Maybe … Making this your new home?" She asks softly. I nod and say, "I do but I have some things I need to take care of." She nods but continues. "Have you ever considered taking care of yourself? Dimitri would have wanted that."

I feel a heavy weight hit my chest at the sound of his name. Dimitri… Oh what I would give to have you in my arms again. A tear slowly slides down my cheek. I only noticing it when Karolina pulls me into her arms, cradling me like a child.

She shushes me and starts to hum softly, which only makes it harder for me to stop the tears. Soon her hums turn into Russian words. It sounds like a beautiful lullaby. My tears start to dry, as I close my eyes and listen to the sound of her beautiful voice and the melody.

Спи, малыш, усни, пустьтебеснятсясны
Розовыйслониквсаду
Баю, баюшкибаю
Розовыйслониквсаду
Баю, баюшкибаю…

Спи, малышка, усни, пустьтебеснятсясны
Золотаярыбкавпруду
Баю, баюшкибаю
Золотаярыбкавпруду
Баю, баюшкибаю...
Баю, баюшкибаю...
Баю, баюшкибаю...

(Translated into English)

Sleep, my baby boy, fall asleep.
Let you see nice dreams
A small pink elephant in the garden…
Hushaby…

Sleep, my baby girl, fall asleep.
Let you see nice dreams
A small golden fish in the pond…
Hushaby…

I sniffle as I sit up in her lap, looking into her eyes as she finishes the last few notes of the beautiful melody. "That was so beautiful. What was it?" I ask as she smiles. "That was by Vitas, called Lullaby. It is Paul-" She is cut off by Paul running into the room and onto her lap.

Asking softly in Russian, he asks, "Мама, Не пора спать уже?" She laughs and shakes her head. "Пока не сын, а в ближайшее время." He seems happy at her words and run back in the hallway. After hearing his soft feet patter upstairs, I ask what he said. She laughs and says, "He thought it was bedtime. I sing that song to Paul and Alexia (Let me know if someone knows her baby girls real name, I can't seem to find it anywhere! I found this pretty Russian name that will work for now.) every night before bed."

I smile and sit back against the couch, thinking to myself. "Rose... Just so you know, you are always welcome to stay and live here, okay?" I nod and thank her as I head back upstairs to retire for the night. As I walk into my room, I sit on my bed and think about my options.

I decide to sleep on it. I change into my pajamas, putting on a pair of soft shorts and a white tank top. Lying down on the bed, under the covers, I cuddle into the sense of family and safety. I didn't know how tired I really was, but I fell asleep almost instantly, seeping into a beautiful dream.

I'm lying in a field of soft and strikingly green grass. Sitting up, I notice the sky is clear and a light powdered blue. The sun beats down softly on my face and I lift my head into the sun's gentle embrace, closing my eyes.

When I open my eyes, I notice that I don't look like I normally would. I'm very pregnant and yet I feel completely happy, no ounce of sadness or pain in my body. I look around, I'm in Baia. I can see Mark and Oskana's house, just a little ways away. I must be in a field.

I look around further and see some people having a picnic by a near tree. When I look closer, I observe that it's Olena and Karolina setting up lunch. Paul, Alexia, and Viktoria are kicking around a soccer ball, while Sonya is playing quietly with her newborn baby girl on a blanket.

Viktoria calls me over to her; I smile happily. I try to stand as strong arms help me up. "Thank you" I say to my helper. I turn around and gasp at who I see. "Hello, Little Damphir!" I smile and hug him close to me. "Adrian. I never expected to see you here. This is a pretty confusing dream." He nods but looks knowing. "Rose, this is a dream of yours. It's trying to tell you something."

I look at him intensely, yet his eyes don't falter, he's telling the truth. What could it be trying to tell me? "N-No... That can't be right. How am I pregnant than?" He looks into my eyes lovingly. "You're pregnant right now Rose." I look at him like he's stupid. "What are you talking about? Duh, I'm pregnant right now, look at me!" He shakes his head and smirks. "Rose, you are pregnant right now... as in reality, not just here in your dreams." I look at him again, repeating my previous face. "That can't be right Adrian. You have to have sex to be..." I stop talking and gasp.

"No! No! No! Adrian... I can't be pregnant. That can't be possible... Two Damphir's can't ..." Adrian places his fingers softly against my lips to silent me. "I know Rose. I don't know how you're pregnant either, but you are. Rose, you're going to stay in Baia, aren't you?" I look at him. "Adrian, I don't know what I am going to do anymore. I can stay here, they would welcome me with open arms, I mean look at them."

He smiles as he takes in my future family. The Belikov's. I smile too. Adrian wraps his arms around what little waist I have left and I'm comforted by it. "Do you think you'll be in my future?" I ask him after a little while. I feel him laugh. "Little Damphir, the future is up to you. Do you want me in your future?" I think about that for a moment.

But before I'm able to answer, I'm awakened to Viktoria shaking my shoulders. "What the… Viktoria? Your home..." I say as I rub my tired eyes and sit up. She turns on the side lamp and that's when I notice she looks like hell; her dress is torn and dirty, her body has lots of scratches and marks that will soon be turning into bruises, she is also crying. My mind immediately snaps awake and alert. "What happened?" I ask, trying to keep my voice down. She immediately starts to sob into my shoulder.

After she collects herself enough to talk, she tells me about Rolan and his friends, about how they made her do things, horrible things that she didn't want to do. "Viktoria, did they rape you?" I ask scared of the answer. She shakes her head, not in a sense to say no, but to forget. "Oh... Rose! What was I supposed to do? There were three of them." She asks. I stare off into space, speaking words of peace to calm her, pulling her into my lap. I stoke her hair until I hear her breathing even out and slow slightly. She is asleep.

I pull her towards the head of the bed and tuck her under the covers. After a few moments of watching her sleep and trying to calm myself from the rage that's bubbling and threatening to explode. I slide back into the covers holding Viktoria close, so she can gain some of my strength, and I finally break down. I break down in ways I didn't think I would, I started to cry.

I let the tears stream down my hot cheeks, as I just repeat "I'm sorry" over and over again, to Viktoria. I could have been there to stop them but I said no. I blame myself for this happening to Viktoria, to Lissa for leaving, to Dimitri, and finally for this baby and its starts to tear me up inside. Viktoria doesn't deserve this; to have to feel so scared and torn into pieces, and neither do I, I can be happy. As the tears dry up and I start to dry sob and I slowly drift off asleep.

The following morning I wake up feeling better than I have in days. I know it's still early, since Viktoria is still sleeping peacefully. I walk into the bathroom and prepare for the upcoming day. I shower and get dressed in jeans and a pretty brown shirt, letting my hair dry, in its natural waves, cascading over my shoulders. (Picture on profile)

I walk downstairs to see everyone else awake eating breakfast. They murmur their good mornings and hellos; I nod and take a seat at the table next to Paul and Sonya. "Why is everyone up so early?" I ask as we start to eat the yummy breakfast Olena has prepared. "Viktoria is going back to school today, so I have to take her to the bus stop. Everyone else is awake to say goodbye. How was your night last night with Viktoria, Rose?" Olena asks, speaking for the whole group.

"My night was… short. I fell asleep pretty early, when Viktoria got home, she and I just went right back to sleep." Olena nods. "I knew she would be exhausted. Well eat up! Viktoria should be up soon, if not, would you mind waking her?" I nod and finish my meal and head upstairs.

Viktoria is still asleep. I gently shake her shoulders and slowly her eyes flutter open. "R-Rose?" She stutters. I gently rub her back soothingly. Her normal beautiful melted chocolate eyes are flat, dull, and still raw with emotion. "Are you okay?" I ask worried she might start to cry at any moment.

She looks so fragile. I would be too; I don't know what I would of done if I was put in her situation. Being raped by one Moroi man would have scared me, but for Viktoria to be raped by three was horrible. I didn't know what else to do for her. My normal Rose bravado tried to peek through but it kept crumbling down once I'd look back into Viktoria's pained eyes.

She tries to give me a smile, failing miserably. "Yep, I'm fine! I just don't really want to go back to school." She says finally giving up on the smile. "Well, I'll go with Olena to drop you off, if you'd like?" She nods, a slight hint of happiness seeping through her eyes. "I'd like that very much!" I smile and help lead her to the bathroom. I help her undress and set the shower to the perfect temperature. "Thanks Rose!" She murmurs to me more than once, I only nod.

After she showers, still wrapped in a towel, she sits on my bed and starts rubbing lotion up and down her arms and legs. As she does, I can't help but stare. Her legs and arms are battered and bruised with multiple cuts. The only thing left unhurt is her face and neck. Her inner thighs have bite punctures. I gasp internally and try to hold my face in check, watching her finish.

I look through her closet and come up with a cute long sleeve purple sweater and jeans. I also found matching purple boots. (Picture on profile) She dresses quickly and I help her put her hair up into a high ponytail and then we were off on our way downstairs.

Once downstairs everyone says their goodbyes to Viktoria as Olena goes out and starts the car. Viktoria holds my hand with her right, while her left hand holds the rest of her luggage. "Rose, I'm going to miss you so much. You're going to have to come visit me, you will right?" I nod and smile. "You can beat on it! I'm going to miss you too."

She throws the last suitcase into the trunk with a loud thud. Olena is already in the car waiting for us. We slip in and head towards the bus that will take Viktoria to her academy.

The drive is comfortably silent, as we finally reach our destination. Teary eyed, Olena hugs her daughter then waits for me in the car. "Well... Goodbye Сестра! I hope to see you soon. Are you going to stay here for a while?" Viktoria asks as we unload the last suitcase. I smile and nod, finally sure of my answer. "I think I am going to, at least until I get things figured out. Write me, okay?" We hug one last time and I feel my throat tighten. I'm going to miss her more than I expected.

THIS IS THE THING

I don't know if you notice anything different.
It's getting dark and it's getting cold and the nights are getting long
And I don't know if you even notice at all
That I'm long gone

And the things that keep us apart
Keep me alive
And the things that keep me alive
Keep me alone
This is the thing

I don't know if you notice anything missing
Like the leaves on the trees or my clothes all over the floor
And I don't know if you even notice at all
'Cause I was real quiet when I closed the door

And there are things that keep us apart
Keep me alive
And there are things that keep me alive
Keep me alone
This is the thing

And I don't know if you notice anything different
I don't know if you even notice at all

WELL… WHAT DO YOU THINK? I HOPE THAT YOU LIKE IT! LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO CONTINUE IT! I HAVE ANOTHER CHAPTER WAITING, WAITING ON ALL OF THE REVIEWS AND LIKES. PLEASE REVIEW!
