Chapter 1 - Birthday

"Rose… Be careful… You're now someone who can't afford fails. They have realised you're that again."

Once again I had this dream. I realised someone was messing with me, but the only spirit users I knew were Lissa, Adrian, Oksana, Sonya and Avery, but Avery was in mental hospital and she hasn't woken up ever since that… Accident. But wait there's one more – Robert. It wouldn't surprise me if he was the one behind all this. But what for? How could he know about me? Did he master another spirit power; did he have power to read memories now?

"…se, Roza?"

I was surprised to hear Dimitri outside my door. Right. We had a date planned and I fell asleep and wasn't ready yet. "Just a second, I'll be ready soon." I shouted.

"Hurry up or we'll be late Roza" I loved his Russian accent, it was so damn sexy.

I quickly put on my stockings and the dress I prepared before. Then I put on blue eyeshadow – the onematched my dress, mascara and lip gloss. I was ready in exactly two minutes.

"I'm ready." I opened the door and Dimitri's eyes grew wide as he saw me. I smiled and said "Like what you see?" He just smiled "Always".

Actually Dimitri and I moved in together on my 19th birthday and exactly a year passed today – from today on I was 20. I still couldn't believe what happened to all of us just three years ago. I fell in love with my teacher - well more like trainer, fought ''Immortal'' evil creatures – Strigoi, met numerous people including my father, got closer with my mother, lost a friend, turned Dimitri back from a Strigoi to Dhampir, been accused of murder of Queen Tatiana, helped Lissa become a Queen, by finding her sister – who was actually Jill, dated Adrian, but realised it wasn't real love after all, turned , well Sonya back to a Moroi, killed Victor and got together with Dimitri after he kept on rejecting me. And even Adrian found his true love, I couldn't believe it when I heard who it was – it was Sydney! The one and only Sydney that hated vampires so much. And there was a big scientific discovery made - pills that let two Dhampirs have children together - that was why the age law was rewritten. And also… I almost died protecting Lissa and she revived me, so I was shadow-kissed again, but this time the bond was stronger, I could still slip in her mind and see the world through her eyes, see ghosts and use them, but now we had one more ability - we could talk to each other through our minds.

Dimitri was thrilled when he heard we could have babies as well, I was too, since I knew how much he liked children, only... I was afraid I was too young to be a mother. Oh and did I mention, Dimitri and I decided to get married, well after… My parents' wedding. Society now allowed Moroi - Dhampir and Dhampir - Dhampir weddings. Dimitri's family wanted to meet mine, but there was a problem. This time it wasn't my mother Janine Hathaway, but my father Abraham (Abe) Mazur - known also as the Zmey. Everybody in the Belikov family thought he was evil, but I knew he wasn't, he was a loving father with a side business, but a womanizer, I was surprised my mother fell in love with him, well actually I wasn't. He had great charisma I was more surprised when he told me, that he always loved my mother and was prepared to stop flirting if she quitted her job as a guardian and got married to him. Well in the middle of that we also found out that I'll have a baby brother soon.

"...za, Roza!"

"Oh! Sorry I kind of spaced out."

"I realised that. Now let's hurry up." He gave me a gentle kiss on my cheek and took my hand. We got into our car and obviously I couldn't drive like always.

We were driving for a fairly long time and then we arrived to a famous restaurant. I knew Dimitri had something planned, but I didn't even think about a dinner in the restaurant I always dreamed going to. Then I saw who else was there. His whole family came - Yeva, Olena, Viktoria, Karolina, Sonya, Paul and Sonya's son Daniel. He grew a lot since Dimitri and I last saw him, but he was still very adorable. I also saw Lissa and Christian, Eddie, Jill, Mia, Eddie, Adrian and Sydney hand-in-hand, there was also Joshua. And after that I saw them in the back and only said "Oh shit".

(Please tell me what you think. Should I continue this story?)
