Chapter 1

"He did what?!" I shouted so loudly that the whole court probably heard me.

"He was drunk and obviously wasn't thinking straight and decided to…." He hesitated on what to say next "..display an act of true love."

I knew something like this would happen. Adrian Ivashkov couldn't control himself, of course partly due to Spirit. The magic he has declared to. I only have heard of a few Spirit users and met a few, Like Vasilisa Dragomir or Avery Lazar. I had been there for Lissa when she was going through the hard time spirit was causing. Avery had never been in her right mind in the first place, However she was bonded to Reed Lazar Her own brother who she supposedly killed. She had tried to kill Lissa while I was away in Russia, However with Adrian's help she could defeat Avery. Avery had all the spirit flooding back to her at once which had fried her brain. Adrian has no one with him. No guardian. No one to protect him.

"Where is he now?" I sighed. Deciding to go find him and put an end to this.

Dimitri widened his dark brown eyes, oh how I loved them. He looked at me if I was out of mind… I very well could be.

"You aren't going after him are you?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Dimitri, I have to. I caused all of this by leading him on. I knew there was no future for us and I still stayed with him. I have to."

He looked at me with a bit of guilt. After all I gave Adrian up for him.

"Rose, you don't have to..." I knew exactly what he was going to say so naturally I interrupted him.

"Please don't give me the Rose you don't have to do this, or Rose you don't have to do this at all, It's not your fault speech. I do need to do this. Alone. Please just let me go." I looked at him with my most loving eyes I could. I didn't have to do much to show them though, I really was in love with him.

"I love you, Dimika, but he is still my friend."

He sighed and looked at me heavily.

"I'll take care of things here. Be back soon as possible. Lissa needs a guardian. Lissa needs you. I need you."

"I wouldn't dream of spending more time with Adrian then I had to at this point. " That wasn't exactly true. I did want to make things right with him. Just now was not the time.

I got the details on what Dimitri had known. He said Adrian went around Miami screaming my name and saying that he was meant for me. At least that's what Dimitri had gotten from his sources.

I had to know where he was now. There was one way to get into contact with him. Spirit Dreams.

Adrian had been teaching Lissa how to cast Spirit Dreams. I hope she knew enough.

I found Lissa a little while later. She was in the Royal Lounge with none other than Christian Ozera. Her Boyfriend. They started going out while we were still at Saint Vladimir's.

"Rose!" She had been sitting on the couch with Christian. She got up to hug me. "Where have you been the last couple of days?" Her voice was excited yet curious.

"Long time no see Rose. What's it been a month since I've seen you. I thought you had been avoiding me on purpose." Christian had a huge smug on his face.

"Oh damn you figured it out. I had hoped you wouldn't" I said sarcastically. He replied with a smile I returned to my conversation with Lissa.

"I've been around doing errands. Mainly I have been tracking Adrian."

"Adrian?" Lissa looked at me with curious eyes. "He left court. Why would you want to find him?"

"Adrian has gotten himself into a little bit of trouble. He's in Miami. In fact he is why I am here. I need to know exactly where he is."

Lissa and Christian looked at me with that expression as to say 'What can we do?'

Lissas face filled with realization of what I was asking. "Rose I'm not sure if I can."

"I know. Please try. I believe in you. Adrian could be in trouble." I asked in such a calming tone that she agreed to try.

"Okay. For Adrian." She sat down on the couch and closed her eyes. About ten seconds passed and she flinched. She was in.
