"Mmmm, these donuts are sooo good." It was breakfast time and we were all over at Lissa and Christian's. Christian, having taken those cooking classes at the academy had made breakfast.

Dimitri chuckled at me and kissed me on the cheek.

"Ah, Rose finally appreciates me for something." Christian piped in.

"Shut up Pyro. Just because you can cook doesn't mean I like you." I shot at him.

"Rose" Lissa said warningly. Christian was about to reply when the phone rang.

"I'll get it." He sighed, standing up.

"Rose, you need to be nice." Lissa began.

"Hey I'm just having a little fun relax. Christians great I can't be too nasty because he has the power to deprive me of these donuts," I said gesturing to my plate full of glazed donuts. "That or poison me."

"Careful, Little Dampir. You don't want to put any ideas in his head." Adrian said as he made his entrance. "Assuming you are talking about Christian?"

"Morning Adrian. Yeah, we're talking about Christian." I greeted him, whilst everybody nodded good morning. Adrian took a seat next to Jill and helped hmself to some of the food. I was just tucking back into my donuts when Christian came back in with a worried look on his face.

I swallowed, half choking on the donuts as Dimitri patted me on the back lightly. I never knew Christian to be worried about anything so know I was worried.

"Christian, what's wrong who was that on the phone?" I quizzed him as soon as I could. No one else had noticed he had come back in.

"Ahh... Well that was Dr Cullen from Forks hospital, Washington State."

"What?" Lissa asked confused, "We don't know anyone there do we?"

"Well Aunt Tasha was in a car accident there and that was where she was admitted. So they contacted me as her only family."

"Well is she all right?" Dimitri asked. I smiled I knew I never really liked Tasha because she tried to take Dimitri, not that I blame her he is hot, but Tasha has apologised and I now regard her as member of my family and a close friend.

"Yeah," Christian sighed, "But I'd really like to go see her to support her you know." He said addressing Lissa with this part. "She's going to be ok but she has a few severe fractures but is otherwise doing fine."

"Of course we'll leave today sweetie." Lissa told him as she swept out of the room leaving him with a kiss on the cheek. "I'll book the flights now. Is everyone going?" She called on her way out of the door.

After a chorus of yes and some reassuring words to Christian, Dimitri and I left to pack. Since everything had been straightened out with Dimitri and I Lissa had gotten us our own place, right next door to her and Christians. Jill was just out of the academy and living with Adrian at his place at court, whilst Eddie and Mia lived together in the second wing of Lissa and Christian's mansion. Victor had been caught after his attempted assassination on Queen Bitch. Tatiana had since resigned as queen and named Lissa as her predecessor. I know right a lot happening in a short space of time. So with Lissa being Queen Vasilissa Dragomir everyone respects us and we have life pretty cosy. Christian, Mia and Jill have been developing their offensive magic, seeing as though Lissa made it legal and they are three moroi you don't mess with.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Dimitri asked.

"Hmmm. I was just thinking about how much everything has everything has changed since I've graduated and left the academy." I felt Dimitri stiffen at the mention of my graduating, seeing as though at this point he was still strigoi and had been planning my 'awakening'.

"Dimitri... I,"

"No Roza," He cut me off. "I did what I did I can't change that and I won't ever forgive myself for what I did to any of the innocent people I killed or you. Especially you."

"Exactly Dimitri, what's happened has happened you just said it yourself." I don't know how many times I have had this conversation with him but he never fully gets the message. "What you did was not you doing it. It was strigoi Dimitri. If in those caves our positions had been reversed I have no doubt that I would have done all of those things. It wasn't you. You need to move on and focus on living your life"

We were now at our front door and once we were inside I attacked him with kisses.

"Comrade," I said in my sexiest voice, smiling at him. "We need to move on from that conversation."

"Roza, we need to pack and have showers so we can be ready to leave." He said reluctantly starting to move away from me.

"Exactly Comrade," I smiled even wider. "We need to shower, and I was thinking we could do something for the environment and conserve water. Of course you know that would mean sharing."

Dimitri's eyes widened as he groaned at me pulling back into his arms.

"Roza."
