When we stepped in Liss and I ran into each other's arms. "Thank you, Lissa sooo much! I love you!" I said hugging her tightly. "Oh I know, and you're welcome to the both of you." she said nodding towards Dimitri. "Come on we're drawling a crowd!" I said trying to get away from all of the stares. "Since when do YOU not like a crowd, Buffy?" Christian added before turning back towards our table. "Oh! Shut up, Sparky." I said laughing. I sat down next to Liss, and Dimitri sat across from me, next to Eddie. "Oh! No!"

What are you talking about?" Liss and Dimitri asked at the same time. "Well...Dimitri if you turn around you'd know who it is...and as for Liss...well you've never met him before!" Thank God! I added silently. Dimitri turned around, and his muscle's tightened! This can't be good! I said to myself.

Just then Abe walked over to my table. "Hi, my dearest Roza" dad said I think as a greeting. I winced as the memory of getting Dimitri's letter. "Hey dad" I said I heard gasps from Liss, Eddie, and Christian. "Hello, Abe, How have you been?" Dimitri asked. "Ah! Guardian Belikov, what a nice surprise, since the last time I saw you, back in Russia." Oh No he didn't! "Wait! What?" I asked confused.

Dad gave me the Rose-Hathaway-are you stupid look, "Uh! Dad when did you see Dimitri in Russia?" I asked looking towards Eddie and Christian and Lissa. Finally he caught on, "When I went to the grocery store, why do you ask?" I remembered that day I did see a guy behind Abe who looked like Dimitri but he was in the sunlight. "Oh! I was just wondering." Then Liss came in my head, "Rose, did you go all the way to Russia just to save him?" "I have to go..." I said in a whisper. "And Liss it wasn't just to save him...we made a promise!" I said behind my back as I left

When I got to my room I broke down, until I heard a knock at my door. "Roza? Can I come in?" Dimitri asked, I got up, and opened the door. "Oh! Roza...what happened?" Dimitri came in my room, taking me along with him. "I-Liss-you-Russia-head" I said between sobs, while Dimitri stroked my hair. "It's ok, Rose" he said, I just laid there not moving. I started to sing "Memories" by Within Temptation. Dimitri must have heard me because he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to him. "Rose, why are you singing?" he asked once I stopped. "Because I-"he kissed me not letting me finish. I felt the darkness seep into me, what was Liss doing? "Dimitri, stop...the darkness..." I said through kisses. He pulled back, understanding. I got up to go to the bathroom, when I caught my reflection in my mirror; my eyes went wide, "Dimitri! C-come here" I said "Rose what's the-"he stopped talking when he looked at me. "Dimitri, we need to get my parents!"
