Author's Note:
I am so very sorry for taking so long to write. Hope you all can forgive me. Anyways here is another chapter. Please try and read my author's notes because they contain some important information.
Thank you so much for everyone who reviewed. :) Some people might be confused and think I am Dimitri and Tasha, but I honestly am not going to keep them together. There is a reason Dimitri is with Tasha. You just have to wait it out.

Chapter Four
Rose POV
I can't believe how weird Dimitri acted yesterday. It was almost as if he were under some sort of spell. I didn't notice it yesterday, but the more I think about it the more I realize the dazed look in his eyes and the way he moved sort of like a robot. The only time he seemed to not look like that is when he asked me how it is possible for me to be a Moroi.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't love him. I do love Dimitri I just don't know why he left me. I know that if I just flat out told him that he is Dina's father he wouldn't believe me. I just don't know what to do anymore.
I heard a knock at my door. When I opened the door it was the last person I expected to see. Dimitri. "Uh... Hi... What are you doing here?"
"I came to apologize for Tasha's rude behavior. She had no excuse for treating you that way." The dazed look is no longer in his eyes.
"Uh… Thanks…" I replied after a very long and awkward pause. "Is there anything else you want?"
"How old is Dina?"
"She will be five in a few months."
"Who is her father?"
"That's private."
"Why? Because you don't want to tell me who you cheated on me with?" Dimitri is just asking for it.
"I NEVER cheated on you."
Dimitri scoffed at me, "Ya right."
I immediately put an illusion in his head of him seeing his family being drained by a group of Strigoi. When I put a person in an illusion like the one I have Dimitri in and the one I had Tasha in to them it is like it's happening to them, but they are unable to do anything to stop it. Dimitri was curled on the ground in the fetal position whimpering, but still not shedding tears.
I dropped the illusion. Dimitri looked around as if checking to make sure that it was fake. Then he got up, slammed into me, and pinned me against the wall. "Why did you do that?" he snapped.
"Do what?" I asked with fake innocence.
"You know what I'm talking about," Dimitri said. As he said it he pushed me up against the wall harder.
"You're not supposed to hurt Moroi."
"Well you are an exception."
"Why is that?"
"You can defend yourself."
"You're right," I said. Then I pushed Dimitri back against the wall where he had me, but I pushed so hard against him that he started choking and he couldn't escape.
"Okay, okay." Dimitri choked out. I released him and he caught his breath then he continued, "You made your point." Then he turned on his heel and left my apartment.
At least someone had learned that I was telling the truth and that I am more powerful than them.
Honestly though the next time I see Tasha she is going to get it. I might not hate Dimitri, but I definitely hate Tasha.
