First off I apologize for the part in the first chapter where all of Tasha's convictions were mashed together, the thingy didnt take the bullets I had prepared. Anyways, I thought I'd get up two chapters tonight just to capture some more interest so yeah, hope you like it!

Chapter 2: You Have a Visitor

RPOV

"What?" I asked incredulous. "You want to go to Russia?"

"It's been awhile since I was restored and word might have spread over to my family but they have a right to see and know what happened," he explained.

"Sounds reasonable but you said our time is up in a month, won't it be a waste if we get to visit for one day?" I questioned.

"I worked around and Lissa gave us a two week extension," Dimitri admitted.

"How did you—? You know what forget it, I doesn't matter how you did it, it's very thoughtful, Dimitri."

"Glad you think so."

"One more question."

"Yes?"

"How do you plan on explaining to your family that you're not a Strigoi anymore?" I asked genuinely.

"I was thinking we could figure that out during the flight there," Dimitri said earnestly.

He led me over to the café that only months ago I was captured by the guardians for "murdering" the queen. This is the first time I was going back and I believe it was the first for Dimitri as well.

We entered the café and found it almost empty, except for two people in the corner of the shop. Once they saw us though they walked past us and out the door.

"Did you set this up?" I asked Dimitri.

"I might have," he admitted.

I laughed. "So where are we going to sit?"

He said nothing and led me over to the corner the two people were just sitting. I took a seat across from him and our legs were against each other.

"I'm guessing a coffee and two chocolate éclairs?" Dimitri assumed.

"You know me too well," I commented.

"I'll be right back." He got up from the small booth and went over to the counter. I watched as he ordered my drink and food and a drink of his own. Within seconds he came back over with everything in his hands.

"Thank you," I thanked as he handed me my drink and put the food in front of me.

I took a sip of my coffee and decided now was a good time to tell Dimitri what was on my mind.

"So Dimitri I was thinking…" I trailed.

"What?" Dimitri encouraged.

"Before we go to Russia I wanted to pay a short visit to someone…" I trailed yet again, somewhat afraid of his reaction.

"Who Roza? Who?" he pushed.

"I wanted to go visit Tasha before we go to Russia."

The look that crossed his face told me that wasn't going to happen. "I don't think so Rose."

"Please Dimitri, I promise it'll be short."

"You mean you want to go alone?" he accused.

I didn't meet his eyes. "Sort of."

"Rose," he began, exasperated, "you can't go and visit the woman who framed you for murder!"

"She'd be in a jail cell and have no way to get to me. Dimitri I'll be fine!"

"I don't know Rose, let me sleep on it. We don't leave for Russia until Thursday so we have time."

"Alright, thank you."

Looks like I'm going to be sneaking out while he sleeps tonight.

After Rose told me about going to see Tasha, my automatic answer was no. I know she and I were great friends in the past but after accusing the love of my life of murder and nearly getting her killed twice, there's no excuse for her. I don't want Rose going to see her, it won't end well. However, knowing Rose, she was going to try and sneak her way into going, probably when I'm sleeping or in the shower or something along those lines. What she doesn't know is how well I know her and that I'm sleeping with one eye open tonight.

While my little internal discussion was going on, I kept my expression neutral so Rose didn't suspect anything. Once the whole Tasha conversation came to a close, Rose went silent and dug into her food. From the look on her face she was planning on her escape for tonight.

"Something on your mind Rose?" I asked teasingly.

"No," she answered a little too quickly.

"Come on Roza, let me sleep on it before you decide to do anything irrational," I reasoned.

"I'm not thinking about doing anything irrational, Dimitri," she assured.

"Okay, I'm just saying."

She shook her head and finished her coffee and éclairs. I too finished my drink and as soon as the both of us were done, we headed back to the palace.

"So it is almost time for my 'surprise?'" Rose asked.

"Very soon Rose, very soon," I told her, a smile on my face.

"I guess it's finally time to show you how much self-control I actually have."

"Is that a challenge?"

"It might be."

"Well good luck Roza because you're in for one hell of a fight."

"Got to catch me first!"

She took off running back toward the palace and I ran off right at her heels. "What happened to all those days of running?" I yelled at her.

Her speed instantly got a little faster but I was ready for that and my speed went up as well. "Come on comrade will you give me a head start?" she called back to me.

"Not happening!" I shouted.

She huffed and raced on. At first she definitely had some distance over me but when she slowed down just a tad, I sped up. I was at her heels and I stretched my arms out, capturing her.

She screamed with joy as I twirled her slightly. I put her down on the ground, keeping her in my arms. "That was fun," she breathed.

"We're about to have a lot more." I brought my lips to hers, instantly deepening the kiss. We had actually covered a lot of distance and were right next to the palace. I lifted her into my arms and brought her inside.

We got into the suite quickly and I brought her right to bed. Soon, like I predicted, she lost her control and we were one.

TashaPOV

The walls around me were still the same color they were when I first got myself into this mess of a cell. I don't understand how Rose was smart enough to figure out it was me but then again she wasn't stupid to begin with so I should've seen it coming.

I let out a frustrated sigh and tugged on the silver chain around my neck. Then out of the blue, my jail guard came up to the bars.

"What?" I demanded, sitting up from my bed.

"You have a visitor," he said.

"I have a visitor?" I questioned.

"Sure do."

I gasped. "Rose?"
