Rose sat there waiting for one of them to say something worried that they would get sent away or be sent back to court. She was still waiting for something when Mark, Oksana, Yeva, Olena, and Viktoria said that they had to talk amongst themselves. She watched them leave and couldn't help but wonder where everyone else was she hadn't see Paul, Sonya, Karolina, or Zoya since they had been here. She figured that the two oldest might be at work or might be getting groceries for the family since Olena didn't really seem to leave the house. Finally after what seemed like hours Mark, Oksana, Yeva, Olena, and Viktoria came back into the room seeming to have reached some kind of agreement.

"You and you're american friends can stay here, but Mark and Oksana would to study you and Lissa some more so they would a chance to work with the both of you each week," Olena told them. "I'm glad that you are here but Yeva told us that you aren't completely telling us the truth. I'm not usually one to pry but I don't want to bring danger to my family," she told them and waiting for them to say something.

"Before I answer that can you answer some questions that I have?" Rose asked.

"Sure, I'll answer any questions you have," Oksana told them smiling.

"Okay where are the others Paul, Sonya, Karolina, and Zoya?" Rose asked looking at Oksana waiting for someone to answer her question though it was obvious that she was expecting Oksana to answer the question.

"Karolina, Paul are at the store getting groceries and Zoya, Sonya and the baby are upstairs sleeping," Viktoria told them smiling at them.

"Oh...so Sonya had her baby and the baby is okay?" Rose asked glad that Sonya had, had her baby at last.

"Yes, it was a boy. Sonya named him Andrei," Oksana told them. "Okay now it's your turn to tell us what actually brought you here," she told them and waited for one of them to say something.

"Well...Mark, Oksana you remember that story you told me before I left Russia about being able to bring back a Strigoi from the inbetween state and turn them back into the person they once were?" Rose asked them.

"Yes, I told you that it was just a fairytail and that you shouldn't believe in it," Mark told her glancing at his wife then he returned his attention to Rose and her friends waiting for her to continue.

"Yes, I remember that I agreed with Mark that it wasn't possible. No spirit user ever charmed a stake before and even if a spirit user did charm a stake they wouldn't be able to bring back a strigoi," Oksana told Rose mildly. "I know you want something like that to happen but it just isn't possible to bring back a strigoi," she told them frowning.

"Actually we did bring back one strigoi he is a dhamphire right now," Rose told them.

"Rose is telling the truth, you probably thought a guardian would have done it but a guardian can't do it even if they are shadow kissed. To bring back a strigoi a person who has spirit has to do it," Lissa put in seeing all their shocked faces seeing that Viktoria and Yeva were the only to controlling their emotions. 'Rose was right when she told me that Viktoria and Yeva are just like Dimitri," she thought.

"You really brought back a strigoi I though the guy who told me that he had brought back a strigoi lied to me," Mark told them shaking his head and frowned almost looking like he was in shock from the new information that he had heard.

"Are you sure how is it possible to even bring back a strigoi?" Olena asked frowning like she thought the others had lost their mind.

"Yes, and Lissa did it. She brought back a strigoi using spirit. Of course a spirit user has to charm a silver stake with silver or it won't work even if a spirit user uses a regular stake the have to charm it or the strigoi will just end up staked," Rose told them biting her bottom lip as she waited for the question that she knew was going to come.

"Who did you bring back," Vikitoria asked her face was still an emotionless mask so that Rose couldn't guess her thoughts but there was one person that she was hoping had brought back.

"It was Dimitri. I came to Russia to kill him and I almost killed him the first time. I fought him on a bridge and when he fell over the bridge from when I had staked him the river knocked the stake out. He came back to America looking for me and while he was looking for me Lissa learned all she could about how to restore a strigoi and when the time came Lissa charmed a stake with spirit and staked Dimitri. Dimitri is now a dhamphire but I don't want anything to do with him anymore," Rose told them.

"I can't believe it Dimitri is a dhamphire again. Why didn't he come here with you I'm sure he would want to see his family again or at least would want to see Russia," Oksana asked the last part of what Rose said sinking in. "What do you mean you don't want anything to do with him anymore. I'm guessing that means you came here without telling him where you were going," she said frowning.

"Your right we came here without telling Dimitri where we were going but it was because of something that he said," Lissa told them looking at all of them waiting for one of them to say something.

"What did he say?" Oksana asked frowning.

"He told me that he didn't love me anymore," Rose told them letting out a sigh knowing that the others would be surprised or would try and object saying that Dimitri would never say anything like that.

"It's kind of hard to believe Dimitri would do something like that," a familiar voice said but it was the voice of someone who hadn't been in the room before.
