Adrian POV
Dimitri and I left my room after we got me cleaned up a little well ok a lot. I would never tell him this put his pep talk actually worked. Speaking of Dimitri I felt guilty because I knew him and Rose were having problems, something about Dimitri lying to her about Sydney, but I just stayed in my room pitying myself.
"Dimitri" I sighed, fleeing the need to apologize, stopping him. He looked at me with that stupid guardian mask he knew exactly what was coming, that's how well he knows me.
"What" he asked, but if he said anything else I didn't catch it. I was to busy staring over his shoulder at the worst possible thing. Suddenly all of my courage and happiness crawled into deep dark hole and died.
"Adrian" the voice that hunted my nightmares called out. Dimitri turned around and became as shocked as I am. I mean he doesn't care about me why is he here. Slowly I walked towards him barley aware of Dimitri following me. I stood there in front of him confidently and greeted him:
"Hey Dad."
Sydney POV
After my big remembrance a few days ago, about Adrian, I couldn't stop having flashbacks. When the flashback came they made me pass out. Which is sometimes funny, because I've freaked out more than two people. Oh God here it comes.
Flashback
I saw him looking at me from the other side of the room because I was looking at him too. He was a Moroi, royal Moroi by the looks of his silk shirt and designer jeans. I don't know what royal family he came from, perhaps Dashkov, or Ivashkov. His hair was light brown and naturally messed up. I could tell he was hot, even for a evil creature of the night, by the way his muscles moved as he played pool. Looking at the time I swore and turned to pay for my drink. As I turned into the dark alley leading to the hotel I was staying in, there he was. The Moroi from the bar was grinning at me and my shocked face.
"Hello milady" the Moroi started "just what are you doing out here all by yourself without protection." Ignoring him I turned to the man behind him.
"What did you tell him" I asked annoyed.
"I told him what you wanted me too, to stay away from you, but Adrian doesn't simply give up" he said. Ok here's the thing one of my best friends, Dimitri Beilkov, was guarding Adrian, and a few nights ago Adrian was staring at me from afar. I had told Dimitri to tell him not to bother me apparently he didn't get the message.
"Whatever i'm leaving don't follow" I said pointing at the Moroi. A few minutes later I heard two sets of footsteps. I couldn't take it. I turned and shoved Adrian against a wall in one motion.
"What's your last name" I barked, unfortunately he smiled, this was going to be a long night.
"Ivashkov, what's yours baby cakes" He smiled.
"Don't call me that" I growled.
"Sorry sweet cheeks" I ignored him this time knowing if I said anything he just make up another.
"Look Ivashkov.."
"My first name is Adrian"
"I don't care look stay the hell away from me and I won't disembowel you got it" I threatened. Dimirti chuckled behind me.
"Awww you and I both know i'm to pretty to hurt" He smile innocently.
"You got nerve i'll give you that" I said dropping him. He stood up dusting himself off.
"Usually I kick someone's ass for messing up my clothes, but for you baby it's ok."
"I'm going to pretend you didn't say that" I growled "and my last name is Sage." Sticking my hand out for him to shake it. He looked at me as if i'd gone crazy.
"What you did ask didn't you" I asked.
"Well uh yah but usually when someone shoves you against a wall it means they don't want to talk" he said looking nervous, and he had good reason too.
"Well i'm special so get used to it." He and Dimitri chuckled at this. I looked at my watch, shit!
"I got to go" I said turning to walk away.
"Wait" Adrian called "you said get used to it, does that mean I can look forward to seeing you again." I turned around walking backwards now.
"Maybe we'll just have to see" I said smiling.
"Ok see you tomorrow" he called back before turning abruptly and walking away so I couldn't protest. I had a fleeing Adrian would be in my life for sometime.
End flashback
Wow, oh good I felt weird like I was going to barf, but at least I didn't pass out this time. That memory was strong, it was also one of my favorites.
I was stationed in Las Vegas, and spending most my time around bars. It's not what you think, bars and other noisy places are where stroigo like to hang out. One night I caught the eye of the infamous Adrian Ivashkov. Obviously that led to us meeting. Most of my flashbacks are smaller and less important, but for me that was huge. I can feel my memory getting stronger and stronger by the day. Now I know where we met, and because of that I remember most of Dimitri. I know he was my closest friend and he guarded Adrian. Which is irrelevant, but still at least i'm some what closer, I think.
Mia POV
Adrian has been locked in his, our, room for days now. He won't talk to me or let me in either. The only person who tries to get in anymore is the Russian. For some crazy reason he seems to actually care what Adrian is fleeing or what's happing behind that door. Today I decide to follow Dimitri to watch him fail, only he doesn't. Adrian let's him in. After a few hours they emerge from the room. I heard them stop so I looked around the corner and standing there was Adrian's father. Perfect.
"Nathan" I shout as I run to Adrian's dad and hug him. "I thought you weren't arriving until tomorrow."
"Well I got everything done and I didn't want to miss your wedding" he said smiling at me. I hear Adrian scoff behind me, and shoot him a glare.
"How thoughtful of you maybe you can talk some sense into Adrian since your here early" I ask?
"What has he done this time" Nathan asks glaring at his son.
"He seems to be hung up over a Sydney Rual" I replied sweetly.
"What!" his father shouts.
