Waking up in Christians bed, still wrapped up in his warm embrace, was anything but a dream.

I didn't want to open my eyes, I didn't ever want to leave this spot.

I felt him leaving light kisses down my back as he pulled me closer to him " good morning sleepy head " he whispered into my ear.

His husky voice sent shivers down my spine, he was smirking into my shoulder blade, obviously pleased with the effect his voice alone has on my body.

Out of no where I blurted out, " I thought it would make things different between us" with out missing a beat and no hesitation Christian finished my words…. " But it only made things better".

Most of the day was spent laying in bed, neither one us wanted to budge, but eventually we decided to get up, shower and take a nice stroll down the beach.

The shower took longer the expected, Christian just couldn't behave himself….. Neither could I.

It was just about evening time and the sun was starting to go down, we walked hand and hand down the beach.

I let go of his hand and sat down in the dry sand, I leaned back on my two hands and crossed my legs I was instantly relaxed, the water spraying off the waves when the crashed kept my face cool.

I watched Christian walk along the waters edge looking for seashells, since last night things were different, something happened, I don't know if it was the song or the dance… maybe it was everything together, but I do know, walls came down, barriers were broke and hearts were mending….. Mending together, last night nothing was breaking us…. Not the pain, the rejection…. Not even them… it didn't matter anymore….all that mattered was us.

Even though I was incomplete bliss…. Something felt off, I felt like we were being invaded, that our special moment was being intruded on…. We were being watched…. I looked around, I couldn't see anybody, my stomach didn't hurl, and the sun was still with us…. So it wasn't the undead…..

" Christian" I called for him, I didn't want to stay here, I didn't feel safe… not for me and specially not for Christian.

He came strolling up, " what's wrong " he put his hand on the side of my face and stroked my cheek, I leaned my head into his touch craving more… always craving more.

" I have a feeling, I don't like it, I think we should head home" he gave me a once over taken in my mood, and could sense my nervousness.

" sure lets head back" he took my hand and held it tightly, and I knew if it came to it he would never let go.

I felt nervous all the way back to our house, uneasy, I know someone was watching us back there, I could feel them…

I didn't want to eat dinner on the patio tonight, I didn't trust the night… no, there was something about earlier that had me on my wits end…

So we had a nice meal in front of the TV, curled up together on the couch, were we drifted off to sleep.

" Desperate times, call for desperate measures" at least that's what I kept telling myself the whole way I walked to Adrian's room…

We were having no luck in finding them, they had left no loose ends, rose's room gave no clue, she left everything, nothing seemed to be missing, same with Christians room…. He took nothing…..

It hurt not seeing them everyday, sometimes, I felt empty… I couldn't understand why…. Because they were hurt? I wasn't trying to hurt them or push them away, I was protecting dimitri…. He needed me and he still does…

No they should have understood, he was just turned back, I knew how he felt, I felt everything when I was healing him, his once love for rose, the way he yarned for her blood when he was a monster, I even felt the way he felt when he drank from her, she was his drug….. But the most important feeling, I felt him become alive again.

They didn't think about that, no they were to worried about themselves… they were being foolish and immature…..

This is why I need Adrian's help, he can walk one of rose's dreams and maybe find them… if anything talk them into coming back..

I knocked 3 times and waited, soon Adrian opened the door..

A shirtless Adrian opened the door, he was stunning to me, his body was solid… he wasn't ripped… he didn't have bulging muscles…. He couldn't he was a Moroi.

" lissa? What are you doing here?, well don't just stand there come in." he gestured for me to enter his apartment.

Shutting the door behind us.

" Adrian I need your help… I cant find rose and Christian… I need to find them Adrian, could you dream walk her?"

He didn't answer right away, he marveled over what he was going to say, choosing his words carefully.

" lissa, I would love to… I really would, I would do anything for you" a light blush fluttered my cheeks. " but I cant".

" what do you mean you cant, you're my last hope… I need you too" my voice was just as it sounded desperate and pleading…

" I mean exactly what I say, I cant, she's blocking my dream walking, she put a wall up… I cant get through"

I couldn't figure why she was doing this to me….. Why there were doing this to me.

Dpov.

This was getting insane, lissa had this great plan on how Adrian is the key to finding them… I thought Adrian was the key to nothing… rose did not lie when she said we wouldn't find them, then again I knew she wouldn't make it easy, nothing was ever easy when it came to rose….. Are once relationship was a perfect example.

Lissa was crazy to involve Adrian into this, we already drugged Christians aunt into it…

Natasha arrived a few days ago, we were at another day end.. So I called her, she came right away, but once again she was a lost hope, Christian never told her where he was going to attend college and never let her know he had left for college.

Natasha and I were on our way to Adrian's room, I was going to talk him out of getting involved, Tasha thought this was a pretty good lead in finding them, but I thought it was lousy….

I wasn't going to bother knocking, but Tasha knocked instead.

" don't be so rude dimitri" I didn't like the guy, I never did…

" great more company" Adrian's voice alone annoyed me, he step aside and we walked in, lissa was sitting on the couch.

" dimitri what are you doing here?" she knew why I was here, I told her over and over that this was a bad idea.

" you know why, there has to be another way to find them without involving him, I wont allow him to be a part of this".

Adrian in that second lost it.

Apov

Was this jerk kidding me?, he wouldn't allow me to…. I was boiling mad, I never wanted to be apart of it

" are you serious, look at you too, they don't want to be found, maybe you should just give up and leave them alone, you're the reasons they left… why would they want you two to find them?"

I couldn't take it anymore, they needed a wake up call, you just cant walk around and treat people like that, sooner or latter those people are going to get tired and move on….

And that's what rose and Christian did… they moved on.

Dimitri looked furious if looks could kill huh?, I didn't care thought and I didn't move.. I stood my ground.

" you don't know anything, so just stay the hell out of it" I laughed to myself..

"I don't know anything?, no you two don't know anything, your so over whelmed in one another you couldn't tell you were breaking the two people who loved you most, and look at you two now, still only caring about yourselves"

They didn't care that they left cause of them, no they just cared about themselves and there feelings.

Lissa ran from the room, tears running down her face, I didn't care that I hurt her feeling she would get over it, she needed to hear the truth… and that's what she did she heard the truth.

" you could have chosen your words better, you didn't have to crush her, she loves those two, weather you believe that or not" dimitri spit back at me.

But I was waiting for his defense on lissa to rise, and I knew where to hit him where it hurts.

" oh.. Like you chose your words with rose?, look where that got you… it got you left… but wait you cant leave someone, when they already left you, don't worry dimitri I have no intention in helping, like I told lissa, rose I blocking me as well… why don't you just let those two be happy away from you and her"

And I slammed the door in there faces….

Dpov

I went my separate ways from Tasha, I want to look for lissa, Adrian's words had hurt her, but his words directed at me…well, they broke me….

I understood, rose left because of me… I get that… but this isn't rose leaving because she needs to.. No this is rose leaving because she is looking for attention, she is being rose, always acting first never thinking things through.

I walked in to lissa room, she was sitting on the couch tears streaming down her face, it was heart breaking.

" are you ok?"

" she wouldn't leave me…. Why are they doing this too me?" she shouted

I sat next to her wrapping he in my arms, soothing her.

" I don't know lissa, but I will find them I swear" I was still boiling form my words with Adrian, the anger was still inside me…

" oh this came for you" she handed me a yellow envelope, no return address, just my name…

I couldn't handle anymore unknown letters, I don't think my heart could handle it.

Before I opened it there was a knocking at my door.

" come in its opened" I yelled and in walked Tasha.

Her and lissa started talking, so I walked out of the room to open envelope.

I sat on my bad and tore it opened, some pictures fell to the floor, I didn't worry about them, I was more concerned with the note.

I didn't understand.. Who would write that….. Why would they write it to me…

I held the note in my hand and walked to the living room, my blank face hushed lissa in mid sentence…

" what's wrong dimitri" I read the note allowed.

isn't that just like a fairytale... the two scorn ex lovers run off to lick there wounds and wind up playing house together? while the two that betrayed them sit around worrying and searching for them, never realizing they too are being betrayed…. And we all know it wouldn't be a fairytale with out someone evil intervening… now would it….. Hope you enjoy….

" I don't under stand who is it from" lissa asked me.

I kept rereading the note, my eyes searching for clues, it was there, this made sense, but I couldn't figure it out.

" it doesn't say" what were we suppose to enjoy, there was nothing….

" the pictures" I said allowed, lissa and Tasha both shot my curious looks, I ran to the bedroom picking the pictures up off the floor and flipping them over…..

The anger I felt before was back, my breath was caught in my chest, every feeling in my body was swirling around…

It was them… pictures of them…

I held one of them sitting on a porch, rose eating doe nuts, Christian next to her, there was one of them on the beach , she was sitting, he was by the water, the last one he was touching her face…. There was something about the way he look at her, the way she look at him…

I went back to the picture of her sitting on the beach, I traced her face with my thumb, the picture didn't do her justice, she was even more beautiful in person, one of the reason I fell for her.

I dropped the picture to the floor, I could no longer look at them, the feelings I felt were un natural to me, I was a mix of Jealous, I was angry with her… angry for her leaving…. For letting him touch her…

I looked helplessly at the pictures on the floor, something I didn't notice before, something you had to be looking for, there was writing on the back of the picture, I picked the picture up, it was the one with him touching her…. My anger boiled inside of me like a war waiting to be unleashed, I flipped it over…..

A smile gleamed my face, I walked calmly to the living room.

Once again I cut lissa mid sentence, but this time she had a curious look, the smile on my face surprised her…

" well let us in on the joke" oh but this wasn't a joke, no this was the key…

" pack your bags, were going to California"

They stared at me…

" why are we going there?" lissa didn't understand, not yet anyways, but she would.

" because that's where rose and Christian are" simply written in tiny letters on the back of the picture was the location of rose and Christian…
