Alekzader was very popular with u guys so I'm glad I had him in the story!

Anyway on with Chapter 7!

OH AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I don't own the Vampire Academy!


Chapter 7

I turn around and run up the stairs to our room and lock the door behind me so Adrian wouldn't be able to follow me. I pull open the door of the closet pulling out a large suitcase. I grab 3 pairs of trackpants, 4 tank tops to wear for my training by the time Adrian gets to the door.

"Rose open the door!" He shouted banging the door. I shake my head and continue packing listening to him shout.

"Please! Rose, open up! Please!" I hated hearing Adrian sound sad so I opened the door and fell into his arms. The tears that were in my eyes started pouring out.

"Adrian, I-I-I don't kno-know what to do anymore!" I sob my voice cracking several times. Adrian brushes my hair back.

"We'll get through this together." He says giving me a kiss on my forehead like he always does when I'm troubled. He knows it makes me feel secure. Although, sometimes I feel bad because I'm his Gaurdinan yet he protects me more than I protect him by always being there. Unlike some people for example, Vasilissa Dragomir-the girl that once was my best friend-abbandoned me when I needed her the most.

"How?" I ask him. How can anything be better when my mother is a strigoi?

"We'll go back together and see what we can do, okay?"

I nod but, then shake my head. "Alek, can't go. You have to stay with him I don't want him to go to that place."

Suddenly, Alek sticks his head in the door and says, "Mommy! I wanna go too! Please I want to see my grandma for my birthday. It's the only thing I want to have! Plus my friend said that the Court was beautiful! It's no fair momma, I'm the only one that's not gone there!" I look at Alek's pleading face to Adrian's confused one. Adrian's face is confused cause he knows that I don't even want to go back to that nightmare and I definetley don't want to take my baby boy to those creul people. But Adrian wants to go anywhere I go but I want him to say here at our home with Alek.

"Okay we'll go but, you have to be on your best behaviour, okay honey?" I say.

"Does that mean I'll see Gramma?"

"Yeah right after we get your VISA." Adrian replies.

Alek starts doing his cute little dance that he does when he's happy causing us all to laugh.

"I'll give you a suit case and we'll start packing, okay buddy?" Adrian says.

"Yeah Daddy!"

"Then, let's go!" Adrian says putting Alek on his shoulders and taking him to his room. I follow them and lean against the door watching them pack as a distraction from the problems I have. Adrian is wonderful with kids so I love watching him bond with our son. Laughing, tickling, playing, wrestling its adorable and I just love it.

"Mamma! Come over here, silly."

"Vengo, coniglio miele." I say. Yeah, because I'm living in Italy I had to learn Italian. But it was super easy when Adrian taught me.

We play around and eat the cake for his birthday. We dropped him off at school and went to book tickets or our flight as well as get Alek a VISA. After that we go home and finish up packing. I grab 5 pairs of skinny jean, 3 tees, 2 halters, a black dress and clothes that are easy to fight in. I help Adrian pack and take a nap feeling completley restless because I had one of those dreams about Dimitri. It freaked me out because I haven't had one for several years. Then a thought occured to me. What if Dimitri is at Court? I denied the thought and tried to go back to sleep.

4 Days Later

"Come on Alek. Let's get your coat on, kay?" I say trying to get ready for our flight.

"Yeah Momma." He says running over accidently tripping over one of his boots. He stood up and kicked it aside angry causing all to laugh. Alek has a talent for entertaining, whatever he does its awesome.

We exit the house and load all the luggage into the car. I buckle Alek into his car seat and give him his favourite toy.

"I'm driving." Adrian and I say at the same time.

"Ha ha ha! Your doing it again, it sounds so silly." Alek says giggling. I smile and turn to Adrian batting my eye lashes. I start to walk over to him slowly in my high heels and put my and on his heart.

"Can I please drive, miele?" I ask. (honey)

He clears his throat and gives me the keys. I smile and start the car racing towards the airport. We wait for a couple of hours before were allowed to enter the plane. Adrian lifts Alek up since he fell asleep and we enter the plane getting our seats in the buisness class. Adrian put Alek down beside the window and takes a seat in the middle. He grabs my hand and brings my head down so it leans against his shoulder.

"Try to sleep. Tommorow isn't going to be easy." He says. You might think why in earth isn't he telling me everything will be fine? It's because we never lie to one another.

I shut my eyes and 4,412 miles fly by fast. I open my eyes and suddenly I start breathing hard. What if I see some of my old friends? Would I be able to face them? Could I ever talk to Vasilissa again after she yelled at me years ago? Could I forgive her? Could I forgive Dimitri? I look for Adrian for help but he's asleep. I wrap my arms around my knees and try to stop panting. But I can't. Adrian's eyes flutter open and his arms automatically wrap around me.

"Shh, Rose. Listen to me... Take a deep breath. I'm with you, right. We'll confront this Head Gaurdian, okay? Just remember, you have me, you have Alek and I promise you'll always have us." I breath out and my panting stops when Adrian reasures me.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks.

I nod and ask, "What if I see my old friends again?"

"We'll show them how strong you are and how sucessful. We have a wonderful son and you have an amazing carreer. Plus a loving husband."

"I'll be fine, because you'll help me." I say.

"Always."

The plane lands and we exit, grab our luggage and go to the place I hate. We get one of Adrian's car delievered to us and start driving. I keep my stake near me because, I don't want to risk anything. Alek wakes up and starts rubbing his head.

"My head aches." He complains.

I can't help but laugh. "You slept for a long time."

"Weren't we supposed to go on the plane, momma?"

Adrian and I look at each other then, burst out laughing.

"We were, silly." Adrian answers for me because my laughter was uncontrollable. I don't know how but these two always know how to make me smile.

"Are we there yet?"

"Not yet." Adrian replies.

About 6 minutes later, Alek asks again.

"Nope, we're not there yet."

Now less than 34 seconds later he asks again, "How bout now, Daddy?"

"Alek, not yet, okay?" Adrian said patiently.

Alek sighs and starts drumming his fingers against the seat nex to him.

We made it in the afternoon, we took our luggage out from the trunk and entered the place. The bell hop took our stuff to our room and so we just left to confront this Head Gaurdian.

"Momma! There's a park over there can I go please!"

"We should go to the Head Gaurdian's first, okay?"

"Please, momma."

"Adrian, do you mind taking him?"

"Will you be, okay?" He asks concerned.

"Because of you, I'll be fine." I say honestly giving Adrian a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey! What about me momma?"

I smile and lean down to kiss my boy on the cheek. They walk away, well Adrian was kind of dragged because he didn't want to leave me. I can't help but, smile because I married the perfect man.

I enter the Gaurdian Head courters and stop at the Front Desk. With a secretary with purple eyes, bright red hair and claw like nails. Overall this lady was fake espesscially, her body. It's the magic of plastic surgery.

"Hello, ma'am. How may I help you?" Says the secretory in a very unintrested tone.

"I'd like to have a little chat with the Head Gaurdian." I say sweetly, yet threatning.

"Take a seat and I'll see if I can fit you in, okay dear?" She replies in a sweet fake tone. I think she was trying to mimick me, what a fail.

"I'm sorry but, I don't think so. I have killed way more Strigois for anyone to count. Okay? So I demand to be let in to see him."

"Who do you think you are, anyway?"

"I am Rose Hathaway. Who the hell are you?" I say using Hathaway because no one at Court really knows me by the last name Ivashkov.

"You! Your Rose Hathaway? Oh well, I'm sorry go right ahead." She replies startled to know who I am. I can't help but laugh and sneer a thank you.

I enter the door without knocking. This office was beautiful, it was completley professional with leather couches and chairs. A maroon desk table with a beautiful black leather chair sat the H.G not facing me. He doesn't turn but asks in an unforgettable voice,

"How can I help you?" I gasp.

That voice. I've heard it before. I knew who it was before his choclate brown eyes met mine. It belonged to...
