Disclaimer: Eh see the previous chapter.

Okay well here is chapter two! Hope you enjoy. It's kind of just a filler chapter though.

2

Dimitri and I stayed in the secluded spot for another five minutes. Knowing what we were getting in to I completely understood why Dimitri was acting this way.

Of course he would never tell me to my face what he was thinking. I knew him so well he didn't need to.

So being me, I said it for him.

"We might not live through this you know."

He didn't say anything.

"I just want you to know that I'm going to fight, and that you shouldn't worry about me."

"I will always worry about you Roza," he whispers.

I turn so I can look him in the eye.

"But if you worry about me and it gets you killed it kills me too."

He grimaces.

"Don't Dimitri. I'm the one with dying experience here. And I'm pretty much the master at it at the moment. I do not want to see you in the Shadow World."

He sighs, "Roza what happens happens. I will fight harder than I have ever fought before to stay with you. To get the chance to see you, to hold you, to kiss you, to love you."

"That's all I ask."

"And that's what I ask for in return."

I nod and kiss him one last time.

It's probably the last for a very long time.

You see walking towards death is a lot easier than it seems. Because you're choosing it, it's not choosing you.

And I've had a lot of rehearsal time with death. Dying isn't something I worry about. It's something I know. It's inescapable. And yeah coming from someone who was brought back to life that sounds a little stupid. But we're all going to have to die. And if I have to die to save Lissa, Dimitri, and I can't believe I'm saying this, or Christian. That's something I'll do. I mean I've done it before.

We walk back to the group of people. They are all clad in fighting gear as am I. I'm just a bit more decked out. I have triple the weapons that everyone else has because I'm more likely to be taken hostage.

We board the plane that will take us to the fancy prison that's holding Viktor. Dimitri and a few other Guardians are going to accompany me.

As soon as we leave the wards that were set around the airport my head starts to pound. But now I know how to control it.

I call in the excess power that has been set loose and open my eyes. Dimitri is trying to pretend like he's staring out the window, when he's really sneaking glances at me. He's not the only one. I can see my mother, who unfortunately, is with us. She's peeking at me every once in awhile too.

I stare at the space around me and take in what the others can't see. Ghosts are everywhere, including Mason. He smiles at me from the seat beside me. "You think if you start talking to me everyone will think you're crazy and leave?"

I roll my eyes and turn to Dimitri.

"Mason would like to know if everyone will think I'm crazy if I start talking to him."

Dimitri raises his eyebrow and looks around, "Where is he?"

I sigh and motion to the seat beside me.

"Hello Mason."

Mason makes a face at him, "Tell him to stop talking to a empty seat he's making himself look like a fool."

I roll my eyes once again and turn my back to him, "He's not being a cooperative apparition at the moment."

Dimitri smiles and puts his arm around my shoulders, "Do you see anymore?"

I nod but I keep my eyes locked on the seat in front of me.

"Anyone you know?"

"Just a few," I mutter.

He knows I don't want to talk about it so he drops it.

I just wish the ghosts would follow the same rules.

Lissa's parents were staring at me from the aisle along with her brother Andre. Along with a few Guardians I vaguely recognized. They were all talking in whispers and staring at me and pointing. They knew I could see and hear them but that didn't stop them from talking about me.

Mainly they were talking about what we were going to do. Some of the Guardians were whispering advice about not dying.

I continued to stare at the seat in front of me while focusing on where Dimitri's arm touched the bare skin of my neck. My very tattooed neck.

Mason kept jabbering stuff at me. Half of it was to see if I was listening the other half was nonsense.

"Remember not to stop. Just keep going. If it's Strigoi kill it if it's not then don't."

"Really?" I mutter half forgetting that I'm the only one who can see and hear him.

Dimitri glances at me, "What did you say?"

"Nothing, Mason just seems keen on reminding me that if it's a Strigoi I'm supposed to kill it. If it's not then don't."

Christian who has been sitting in front of us being quiet the whole time, I know shocker, chimes in. "Well if you don't know that by now then I'm going to stay on the plane."

I glare at him, "Good you can keep all the ghosts company."

He automatically looks around as if they're suddenly going to become visible.

"Scared of a ghost?" I ask.

He glares back at me, "No I'm just scared of what's happening to Lissa."

I look down at the floor, "Nothing bad, she's just getting moved from place to place."

"Why are they doing that?"

"To keep me away, they know that I can't get to her if she's moving."

"So you have tried?"

"What do you think that I've been doing? Just sitting on my ass while everyone plans everything? Of course I've been trying!"

He flinches back from me like I've hit him. Dimitri grasps my arm as if I'm about to jump over the seats and strangle him.

I relax back in my seat, "I'm not going to kill him Dimitri."

"Do not let her go," Christian mutters.

"Scared of a girl?" I taunt.

"You are not a girl."

"Oh? Then what am I?"

"Some super back from the dead chick."

I shrug, "Whatever fire boy."

"I'll take that as a compliment rather than an insult."

"And I take the super as a compliment because that's all I heard."

Well glad to see under severe amounts of pressure Rose and Christian can still find something to fight about.

Thanks for reading! Review!!!
