Surprise! I'm early! There won't be a new chapter Sunday so look for one Monday!

Thank you for all the reviews and views! I really like this chapter. There isn't much in it, but it says a lot. Does that make any sense? Also, look at the first line. Is that total Adrian or what?

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Academy. Only Hugo, AJ, and Mason Markov at this point.


"Well, it seems Little Dhampir has a mini Dhampir."

I smiled. "I do. Three of them actually." I felt Hugo's hand on my back and turned to look at him. I realized that the look in his eyes was saying he needed to feed. I looked at my mother. "Can you watch AJ and Mason for just a few minutes?"

My mother looked between me and Hugo. "Of course."

I looked at Kirova and took a deep breath. "I... I need a private feeding room." I saw Adrian's reaction out of the corner of my eye. It went from confusion, to shock to anger as realization hit.

"Can I be next?"

I turned and looked at him, hurt evident. "What?"

"Well, since you are whoring yourself out, I was thinking maybe I could... I don't know... get a sample?" He turned. "I'll be in my room when you are done."

"Adrian... wait!" He continued on and I choked back a sob. It has been so long since I had cried that I wasn't sure I knew how anymore. I just turned and looked at Hugo. "Ready?"

Hugo smiled. "Of course. Lead the way."

I left the feeding room where Hugo was resting. He always did after a... session. I leaned against the wall and ran a hand through my hair. Looking out the window, I saw the Moroi building and thought that maybe I should go see Adrian after all. I needed to clear the air with him. I didn't want us to be like that. I walked across the quad. My neck was starting to sting, but that was normal. I entered the dorms at stopped at the front desk. "I need to speak with Adri--- Lord Ivashkov." I shuddered thinking about him like that.

"He asked not to be disturbed."

"Call him and tell him it is Rosemarie Hathaway. I am willing to be he will see me."

The woman picked up the phone and called up to his room. "Hello Lord Ivashkov, there is a Rosemarie Hathaway here to see you. I told her you didn't want to be... Yes Lord Ivashkov. I will send her right up." She hung up the phone and looked at me. "He is in room 335."

I smiled at her and headed up the stairwell. The closer I got, the harder it became. I knew he was disapproving of my life, but I didn't know what else to do. I reached up to knock on the door, but it opened before I touched it.

"Little Dhampir..."

I looked into his eyes, threw my eyes around him and started to cry.
