Chapter 4: Heartache.

The emotional waves that were smashing through me was anything but a relaxing sensation. I was angry, sad, lonely and unsure that I said the right things. I sighed for what seemed to be the millionth time today. Sometimes I wished I could escape everything and just live like a normal human at least life wouldn't be such a pain. I threw my head back against the seat and put my head phones in. At least I could drown my thoughts out with music. My fingers hit the volume button and maxed it out before I could hear my mind screaming at me with agony. Some where between songs I managed some how to drift back to sleep.

I was sleeping dreamless until I started to hear seagulls and feel the misty summer air hit me as I stood with my arms crossed, digging my toes deeper in the warm sand. I couldn't see anything yet but I felt Adrian come up behind me and put his arms around my waist.

He kissed my shoulder and whispered sweetly, "Open your eyes, my little dhampir." I obeyed and slowly opened them to see the sun set across the open sea. The light danced across the water turning it beautiful shades of purple and gold. I gasped in delight. Dolphins appeared in a distance leaping happily across the ocean. "Beautiful huh?"

I looked down at what I was wearing just in case the ocean was a trick so I would not get mad at my attire. I had to admit it was not what I expected. It was a flattering white dress with thin straps and small flowers embroidered in the fabric. I saw my nazar around my neck. I sighed and turned towards him, "It really is. I miss you." Which was the truth, now more than anything I wish I could be held by him. I reached up and kissed his lips as delicately as I could. For some reason when I was with Adrian, my heart felt a little better.

Adrian pulled me closer to him and nuzzled his face by my ear. "I'm glad. I miss you too. Lissa said I should probably visit you tonight, she said Dimitri was probably going to say something to hurt your feelings...like about Tasha." He pulled away and looked at my face. "By the looks of it, he did. I'm sorry Rose. I know it hurts."

He laid me down with him in the sand. I pressed my head against his chest and let a few tears fall as I listened to the beat of his heart. He looked down at me with deep concern and wiped the tears away. I calmed down a little, "I'm not going to lie it hurt-a lot but I set him straight."

He laughed, I'm sure he was picturing me yelling at Dimitri, "I could only imagine what you said. I'm glad you yelled at him but I know you loved him too."

I didn't want to hurt Adrian by talking about Dimitri so I changed the topic quickly before his good mood deteriorated because of my shitty one, "So what's going on at the court, are they going nuts because the crazy Rose Hathaway is on the lose" Adrian started laughing because I was running around in the sand like a retard, acting like I was a lunatic.

"Yes, they are. Some people won't even leave their rooms. They haven't sent anyone out yet but they warned every one on the outside of the court, your loose and your dangerous." I made a scared face. He continued laughing at me.

"Oh boy! I'm dangerous like double-o-seven," I said with sarcasm, and rolled my eyes at the thought of me trotting around with a gun and a fancy and unrealistic talking car.

He kissed my forehead. "You're definitely something. Dangerously cute, maybe." The smile on his face widened.

I sighed and turned toward him propping my face up with my right elbow. " I am irresistible huh?"

"Extremely," he kissed my collarbone all the way up my neck until he came to my lips, He kissed me eagerly and ran his tongue along the parting of my lips, I opened my mouth to let his tongue explore mine. We were kissing each other deeply, tongues tangling together. Our breaths were growing heavy with excitement. Just as we were about to rip each other's clothes off...Everything started to blur.

He kissed me sweetly before everything disappeared, "You're waking up. I love you."

I woke up unsatisfied but I was glad we didn't go any further. I would have just been doing it out of desperation not out of love. I took my earphones out just in time to heard the pilot over the intercom telling us we had successfully landed in Siberia. I was groggy from the flight so I probably looked like a zombie as I walked slowly to the black hummer waiting for us but I didn't care. I barely noticed Dimitri sit down next to me in the back seat. He had guts to sit next to me, if I were him I would have rode in the trunk. It was a long four hour drive with Dimitri staring at me every five seconds but I didn't care I just remanded looking out the window blaring hard rock music through my head phones. Manly ones that had to do with being anger and wanting to kill people. When the car pulled to a stop in front of Dimitri's house I hopped out and stretched my legs. I saw the front curtain pull open then I saw Olena shoot out of the house like a rocket, She caught me by so much surprise I almost fell over when she ambushed me with a hug.

She kissed my head and held my face in her hands. "Rose, we have missed you around here." as soon as Dimitri rounded the back of the hummer, she attacked him too, murmuring a bunch of things in Russian.

I sighed and turned around to grab my luggage, I was startled to death when Yeva popped out of no where. Crazy old bat. She held my hand in hers. "I saw your pain. I'm very sorry. He will come around." She patted the back of my hand. "Thank you for bringing him back to us." With that she turned around and walked over to Dimitri.

She pulled the collar of his shirt violently so she could get his face down to her level, Forced his eyes open wide and examined them. When she was finally convinced he wasn't Strogoi she smacked in the back of his head and proceeded to yell at him in Russian. Whatever she was saying she sounded pissed. After she finished yelling she growled at him, smacked him over the head again and walked back in the house. I tried to suppress my laughter but I couldn't. He just got beat up by his grandma. Ha! Dimitri glared over at me. I lifted my eyebrows, smirked and followed Yeva in the house.

As soon as I was in the house Viktoria jumped over the living room couch almost and started apologizing, " Rose, I'm soooooo sorry, I didn't really mean everything I said. I was just mad because you were right. Please, Please, Please forgive me!"

I was glad that she did not hate me anymore, at least I had four people rooting for me in this house and one less thing to worry about, " You were forgiven the moment it happened."

She looked relieved. She let out a deep breath, "Good. I didn't want you to hate me."

Abe walked in joyously, "Good news, Sydney is going to be able to figure out where Lissa's sibling is...with some digging. She owed me a favor anyways. She said we would have to wait around here for a week and she would call me when she found anything out. So with that being said, Me and guardians are going to be staying close by so we're gonna head there now."

He walked over and gave me a hug and a kiss on the forehead. "Any problems just call me." He handed me a cell phone and a credit card. "Use that credit card to change your look and no arguing you can't be noticed."

I nodded in agreement even though I was not happy about it. Moments like this Zmey got on my nerves but I was still glad he turned out to be my father. After some time with him, he's not so bad after all.

"Okay well, be safe мой ангел, I won't be far away." He patted my head, said goodbye to the family (glared at Dimitri) and walked out the door.

Everyone's eyes were on me except Dimitri's. Olena finally smiled at me and said, "I know you're hungry so sit down at the table and I'll fix you something."

"You know me well," a girl's got to eat. After I downed a whole meatball sandwich, I decided it was about time to check on Lissa.

"Olena, really this was wonderful, thank you. I'm kind of jet lagged do you mind if I go lie down for a while?"

"Sure, sure, dear. I hope you don't mind but you and Dimitri will be sharing his room." She paused waiting for some kind of refusal out of us.

Dimitri's eyes were darting between me and his mother. Coward. " I really don't think that will be a good idea."

I heard Yeva in another room cursing in Russian. I tried to keep a straight face but I had a pretty good idea at what she was upset about, Olena could sense the tension presence between Dimitri and I. She was obviously upset because we were not on good terms. She grumbled something under her breath, then sighed. "Dimitri, you can make room for yourself on the couch." She saw that I was about to protest. "Rose, no arguing. You're a lady, this fool can sleep on the couch."

She helped me carry my bags up the stairs even though it was really unnecessary but I had a feeling she was itching to talk to me. "Rose, I'm sorry for what ever conflict is going on between you and my son.I know this must be so hard for you...I can see it in your eyes. I just wanted you to know even if he is being a stubborn ass, I still consider you as my daughter. Even Dimka can't change that." She smiled sweetly and cupped my cheek in her hand.

Olena was possibly the sweetest woman I had ever met. If I had no mother I would be just as proud to call her my own. I pulled her into a hug. "Thank you,Olena, I'm proud to still be apart of your family."

Olena wiped away a few tears. "Well I'll let you get settled in and check on you later." She turned around, walked out the door and shut it. Leaving me with my thoughts to face. I laid back on the bed and thank god the smell of Dimitri was gone. It was hard enough being in his room and I didn't need a constant reminder of the man I used to hold so dear. I needed to see Lissa. I let myself slip into her head.

She was panicking. She hated the idea of lying to the council about my where abouts but she had no choice. I couldn't be found and she wouldn't let me die. They were bombarding her with questions but she didn't have time to falter. She started acting like she was crying. To anyone that actually knew her she was a very poor actress. Lying was never really a good look for her. But by the looks of the council members faces, they were convinced that she was being genuine.

"I have no idea where she went! If I knew she was planning on escaping don't you think I would know about it. Your guess on her where abouts are as good as mine!"

Daniella gave Anthony a scowl as if to tell him to back off. Obviously she did not like seeing him make Lissa cry.

Anthony Badica turned to Adrian, "Do you know where Rosemarie Hathaway is?"

Adrian looked amused and annoyed at the questions they kept asking, Adrian smirked, "No for the last time I do not know where she is, If I did I would be with her, after all she is my girlfriend." Anthony looked taken aback that Adrian would even consider leaving with his aunt's murderer but Adrian didn't seem to mind the looks on the faces of the council members. I think he actually enjoyed it. "Look, I'm going to have to excuse myself and Princess Vaslisa from this. There is no more we can help you with, I'm afraid. We don't know where she is...so figure it out on your own."

Damon Tarus stood up from among the council members, "I have one more question to ask, where is Dimitri Belikov, it's convenient that he left while Rose escaped." He smirked like he just discovered the cure for cancer.

Lissa was starting to get angry. I could feel the magic brewing up inside of her. Compulsion. Damn it Lissa. "Dimitri had nothing to do with this, He left before Rose escaped and he is visiting his family in Russia. He got permission to leave. That is all."

With that she got up, the council members seemed to agree with Lissa. If they found out she just used compulsion on them, she would be in more trouble than I am. I felt a little darkness lerk inside of her. The darkness was causing her discomfort and frustration. I pulled it from her and into me. Her expression softened, it worked. Adrian and Lissa walked quickly back to her room. Lissa did not speak until she was certain they were alone in her room.

Adrian's face showed a sign of relief and terror. Lissa sighed. "We need to find out who killed the queen and fast. We don't have much time to waste. I just hope we find out in time. Rose can't die. I won't let it happen. I need her...if she died I would go insane. I can't loose her again." She sobbed silently.

Adrian rested him hand on her shoulder. "We will find out who did this Lissa; I can't loose her either...I love her."

Lissa raised her head. I felt her fears wash away and the determination in her started to grow. " If it's the last thing I do, I'll find out who killed Tatiana and clear Rose's name. I owe her that much. She has saved my life countless times and now is my turn to finally return the favor."

I did not like the sounds of Lissa's revelation one bit. I did not want Lissa putting her life in danger to save me. It may have been the small piece of darkness I took from Lissa but I was mad that she even considered to throw herself in harms way for me. That was my job. To protect her not the other way around. I needed to blow off some steam so I got up put on a pair of sweats, a hoody and ran out the door, downstairs, past everyone and out the front door. As soon as my feet hit the pavement, I could feel someone was following me.
