The light flickered on in the apartment, and I looked around at the custom-made apartment that just screamed me.

I moved away from the door, looking around and running my hand across counters and walls, looking at the photographs that rested on tables and hung around the room. I knew Dimitri was just behind me, watching me with a skilled guardian eye.

"This is our apartment?" I asked softly, looking over my shoulder at him. There was pain evidently in his eyes as he nodded, staring at a photo on the wall. It was me and him, with his arms around my waist, and his chin resting on my head- with one of those beautiful smiles on his face. "I'm sorry I cant remember it."

His head snapped to me, surprise and- quite strangely for me- love. "No, no, no." He said, coming up and placing his hands either side of my face. "Don't blame yourself. Just don't, Roza. It's not your fault." He paused, closing his eyes and resting his forehead against mine. "It's my fault."

I pulled away, eyes wide. "W-what?"

"There's something I didn't tell you. About before you left." He said, sitting us down on the sofa. "you didn't just leave the house. Your were upset, we'd had a fight over some Moroi- I'd over reacted, I'm so sorry. I called you a whore. God Rose, I'm so sorry." He said, covering his face with his hands. "I fucked up, ok?"

So on one hand, I was furious, hurt and confused, while on the other I was also confused, but I understood, and knew it was serious because he'd actually sworn in English. God, life was out to get me.

"Dimitri." I murmured, pulling him close as his shoulders started shaking softly as he started crying- hugging me close and murmuring how sorry he was. "Dimitri, Shh, baby, it's okay, just let it out."

It took a while for him to calm down, and after that he offered we took a walk, just us two. So, that's how, about five minutes later we were walking along, by the end of the forest, glancing anxiously towards the green jumbled of trees and bushes.

"Dimitri, how did we admit that we loved each other. I mean, I already knew I had sort of a crush on you, but how did it happen?" I asked, stopping and looking at him.

He took a deep breath, before taking my hand and answering. "Victor Dashkov had kidnapped Lissa, tried to use her for her ability to heal, but he knew he'd need to distract you, so he rigged up a lust charm with that rose necklace that you and Lissa were eyeing up in the shop- the black one. So, the night of the dance, it started working, Victor kidnapped Lissa, and we... got quite intimate..." he paused, blushing slightly.

My jaw hung open, a million thoughts running thought my mind- most quite dirty and wrong if I say so, until something snapped into me. "We didn't, I mean, you didn't take my..."

"No, god no, I didn't take advantage of you, though it had hit me too. I managed to snap out of it, and we left to find Lissa. After we'd found her, and put him in the school prison, you went to see him. Natalie killed Mr. Nagy, and turned Strigoi to free her father. I killed her, we found Victor again after she let him out- but you god badly hurt. She'd slammed you into a wall a few times, and you had to be rushed to the clinic." His voice had grown pained, and he squeezed my hand a little tighter as he paused.

"When I saw you, I thought I was going to lose you. The reason you went there was because of me, saying the wrong thing. And I almost lost you, then and now. It's like whenever I open my mouth, I say the wrong thing and you get hurt, almost killed!"

I was about to reply, when a small chuckle sounded, from the forest and a guy waked out, in just sweats.

"Well, isn't this touching!" He said sarcastically, through his laughs. Dimitri stood slightly in front of me, looking frightening. The guy came forwards, rolling his eyes-

Wait.

"You remember me, don't you, Little exotic princess." He said leaning in. Those eyes. They sparked up, and danced, and looked like canine eyes- with a hint of yellow in them.

"Albert! Will you cut it out, and stop scaring the poor girl!" A woman's voice, crystal sharp, cut through the air. Albert's head whipped around, and his eyes- yellow tint and all- changed to having an adoring, loving look.

A woman, the same age as Albert, came towards us, her red curly hair falling down her back. Once I looked closely, I saw her eyes were a bright blue, but hinted towards green as a yellowy tine- exactly like Albert's- coloured them.

"Hello, Rose. I'm Rachel, and This is Albert. I apologise for him, as he is still quite an immature adult." She said.

"How do you know her name?" Dimitri growled. I'd forgotten he was here, he was that silent. I placed a hand on his arm, smiling slightly and shaking my head.

"Guardian Belikov, we know everything about you two. That's why we decided to help you. Rose was weak, and hurt, and needed a gift to cheer her up. We gave her a gift!" Rachel laughed, sounded like Adrian on a spirit craze.

"But I can't remember, I can't remember anything. You didn't cheer me up, because I can't even remember loving this man." I said softly, trying to play along even though I was confused as fuck.

Rachel frowned, un-looping her arm from Albert- to be honest, I'd not even noticed her looping it in the first place- and standing in front of me, and placing her hand on my forhead.

I was about to ask her what she was doing, when suddenly something came back.

I remembered up to just after when Jesse and his little Mana had tortured Lissa, and Dimitri had taken me to the cabin to calm down...

I gasped pulling away, and beaming. "Wow." I breathed, placing a hand on my forehead. I stared at Rachel, and hugged her slightly. "Thank you, Rachel. How can I repay you?"

Rachel and Albert laughed, kissing each other lightly. Albert sped off, and Rachel Backed away Slowly. "That's only part of the gift, little princess, trust me. But how you can repay us, is that once you figure all this out, don't hate us- and just try to understand." And she was gone.

So, Yay! Wow, we meet Rachel and Albert! Any guesses on who they might actually be, or why they nicknamed her Little Princess?

Oh, god, guys! I have been AWOL for ever! Ages! Donkey Years! I'm so so sorry! I really am.

I'm not gonna tell you excuses, for two special reasons 1) I know how readers hate when authors try to make up excuses, or post them on here- they take for ever- and 2) I actually don't really have any good ones.

So, yeah, sorry guys! But thanks so much for the reviews I did get!

And ps: tell me what you want to see, in the next chapter, or future ones, and I might be able to fit it in! Bye guys!

Thanks for the support!
