Heyy every1 so this is the sequel to Pulling it Together and Rose is going to be looking for Dimitri in it. And trust me it's not going to be what you are expecting, especially if you picture it like Blood Promise. So I hope you like this as much as you seemed to like Pulling it Together. You know what to do…REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!;-]

It had been a week since I left the Academy, I was in Russia and I was pretty sure Dimitri would be there; some of the Strigoi that took him had, had Russian accents which didn't prove he was here because a lot of Moroi and Dhampirs were from Russia and eastern Europe, but it was the only clue I had. Not all of the Strigoi had Russian accents, some had American and British, but I heard more Russian so that is where I went.

Like I said I have been in Russia for a week, but still had no proof that Dimitri was there. Sure I had run into some Strigoi, but none of them knew his name, and trust me they would have told me if they did because I tortured them into telling me anything they knew before killing them. If Dimitri wasn't here then I had no clue where else he could be. I could feel that he was here though I don't know how, but I just knew. Maybe it was the connection we shared, I don't know. I also don't know what I will do if that feeling is wrong.

I had given up a lot to come looking for him—not that I would change my decision; I wouldn't—but I had lost being Lissa's guardian most likely, Adrian will probably never even talk to me unless he is forced to let alone be friends with me and I had probably lost a lot of respect in the guardian world. I needed to do this though so I was okay with all of those things except not being Lissa's guardian, but that wasn't for sure. If I made it back to the Academy in time to graduate I might still be able to be her guardian, but if not I had to let that go and only focus on finding Dimitri. That was the only thing I needed to be thinking about, no matter what.

Ring Ring! Ring Ring! Ring Ring! It's five o'clock! Who the hell would be calling me at freaking five o'clock? Have they never heard of sleep? I rolled over onto my side and looked at the caller id on my phone. It was Imber, a Polish Dhampir I had met and become friends with. I had told her about Dimitri and the blonde vampire who had taken him down, that way if she saw either of them she could tell me right away. Hopefully this would be that call.

"Hello? Imber?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's me Rose." She said in her thick accent, "I think I found the blonde Strigoi who took Dimitri. Get her as soon as you can."

"Okay, I will. Thank you so much."

"No problem." She said then I hung up my phone and jumped to action.

She lived in Poland so I had to hurry and call the airport to get a ticket. Luckily for me the people at the airport in St. Petersburg are bi-lingual other wards I'd be screwed. I a ticket for the first plane to Warsaw, Poland where Imber lived, and it left in an hour and a half. I hurried and packed my few things and jetted off to the airport. I was on the plane with ten minutes to spare.

I couldn't believe this was actually happening. Sure it wasn't Dimitri she had seen, but this Strigoi was the next best thing. He would know where Dimitri was, and I had every intention of getting that information out of him no matter what I had to do to get it and now I'd have Imber to help me and she is tough. She's about twenty and did graduate from her school, but she never became a guardian, but she didn't become a blood whore either. She just chose to live her life how she wanted to among the humans and even in doing that she stayed in guardian level shape. There's no way this guy would be able to get away from us without me knowing what happened to Dimitri.

By the time I got there Imber was waiting for me. I was so happy I had met her right now. It was just luck that had allowed me to meet her too. I wasn't even supposed to have ever been in Poland, but my plane ran into a storm and had to land here in Warsaw and while I was roaming the city I ran into Imber and we hit it off right away. Let's just say that right now I felt like that was the luckiest thing that had ever happened to me.

"Rose!" She squealed as she hugged me, "Come on we have to get back to my place. I will tell you everything."

"Okay, let's go." I said.

Once we got back to her house she told me everything. Apparently the Strigoi's name was Nathan and she had been seeing him. He hadn't figured out that she was Dhampir yet, but she had recognized him right away as the guy I was looking for. They had plans to go out again tomorrow she said she would take me with her and then we could get the information I need out of him.

"God, I can't believe I might actually be able to find Dimitri. I was starting to give up hope honestly." I told Imber after she finished.

"I know right? I really hope this helps you. I really hope it's the right guy, I mean I can't be for sure about it, but I don't know, it just feels like I'm right about him."

"I hope you are. If not I guess I'll just have to keep looking for him and Dimitri."

"What if Dimitri isn't with him anymore?" She asked.

"I don't, but I think the only way he wouldn't is if they had turned him and he decided to go off on his own, but I really don't think he was turned. And the only other way he wouldn't be with them is if he's dead and I really don't think that either. I think they're just keeping him hostage. I think I would know if he was permanently physically changed. We just have that type of connection." I explained and God I hope I'm right about it.

"Hopefully you are right. You deserve to get him back and be with him for the rest of your life and be your friend Lissa's guardian. That would be perfect, everyone needs there happy ending and that would be yours, so I really hope you get it. I'm a sucker for love stories that end good and this would be the first one I've experienced outside of a movie or song, so I'm gonna do everything to help you get it." She said smiling at me. This is what I had immediately loved about her; her happy go lucky attitude. I needed someone like that right now and since she was a Dhampir and could also help me, well that made her even better.

"Yeah that would be nice, but I don't think a perfect ending is possible for him and me." I told her yawning.

"Well let's try to make it possible, but right now how about we go to sleep." She said; also yawning.

"That sounds good too." I was already in a hoodie and track pants so I just crawled right into the bed she made up for me as she went to change and get in her bed. Hopefully tomorrow I will have my first real lead on finding Dimitri.

So what do you think? I really like Imber's character. Tell me what you guys think of her. I'm so happy I came up with a polish name for her lol…it means ginger in polish just so you know. Well you know what to do…REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!;-]
