RPOV:

A week later, Dimitri was looking at plans for the attack when I came up behind him.

"Hey, Comrade," I purred, wrapping my arms around him.

Dimitri stiffened. "Rose, I'm busy," he murmured, focusing on the papers again, heedless of my arms.

My eyes narrowed. No way was he going to deny me. However, before I could do anything more than move my hands down a millimeter, Dimitri grabbed my attention again.

"Rose, look at this."

I slid around to the front of his body, looking at what he was pointing at.

It was a map of Alder, Adrian's school, a map of the grounds and surrounding area. More importantly, it should tunnels, going from the the woods where the school was hidden all the way to the school itself.

"What are they for?" I wondered.

"I think they were used years ago as escape tunnels. I'm talking about centuries, back when it was used to hold one of the Royal families, ironically the Ivashkovs, I believe," Dimitri replied.

"Huh," I mumbled. "Do you think we can still use them?"

Dimitri tilted his head thoughtfully, following one of the trails with a fingertip. "Yes," he finally said. "I believe the students have found them and use them for partying. I'm sure that if not all, then most of the tunnels have been cleared. At least these main ones." He traced three tunnels, one running below the main entrance of the Academic building to the gates, one running beneath the Moroi dorms to the woods, and one running from the back of the dhampir dorm building to the woods on the opposite end of the Moroi. Other tunnels began from various locations, but almost all of them intersected the three main ones at some point.

I smiled faintly. "And yet again, idiotic children will help us attack," I murmured.

"Mm, yes. Now, the wards run all the way around, as you know, in several rings. We don't have Jesse's stupid group to weaken them this time, but we do have humans. If we break the wards here," he pointed to where the wards were around a group of trees, "no one will notice for a while, long enough for us to invade."

I nodded. "Sounds good. And St. Vlad's? Will we be using the same caves?"

Dimitri nodded. "Yes. They will think that now that they know of them, we won't hide in them. How wrong they are." Dimitri sighed regretfully. "The mortal are so stupid." He turned to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "But you were always smart."

I smirked. "Mm, yes. Now, when should we attack?"

Dimitri thought about it for a long moment. "I'm thinking...the day before graduation. Many Moroi will be coming and they will never expect us to attack them at that moment. There will be lots of guardians, but we can handle them."

"Okay. And Alder? Do the graduation dates coincide?"

"Unfortunately no," Dimitri said. "However, it's no matter. The world will be shaken up and we can begin our takeover of the Moroi world. Of course, we can't kill them all or turn them all. And we'll have to make sure they're breeding so we have fresh food, but I'm sure everything will work out fine. In a few years, you and I will be ruling the world."

I grinned up at my Dimitri. "I'll drink to that," I whispered.

Dimitri smiled down at me. "Then let's celebrate."

He released me, grabbing my hand instead as we ran out of the house, the anticipation of the coming hunt thrumming through our veins.


A/N: sorry for the long wait! Guess what? I'm working on the first chapter for the sequel to My Wish! Sorry for such a long wait for that, too. Once I'm done writing it, I'll post it! Until the End is coming to a close quickly. This won't be too long either. I'm look at maybe 15-20 chapters, tops. Anyway, thanks for the reviews! You're all amazing! Mwah! And for those of you wondering, yes, they will be turned back...eventually (; In fact, I already know when and how and by whom and all of that fun stuff :D Now, I know there are a lot of stories where Rose and Dimitri have some kind of mental bond, and I do love that sort of thing, soo...they shall have one. Just not the way other people have written it. Clearly, it's going to be nothing like other stories, I mean, you've all read it this far! Oooh! What do you think of the casting of Kirov? Olga Kurylenko? Yay or nay? I think she's a bit young, but, hey, that's what make up's for, right? But French? Jeez, next thing you know, Christian will be German! Anyway, enough rambling! Drop me a review and I will update as soon as I can!
