I nodded, and walked down to the visitors room. I opened up the double doors and strode in with Lissa on my heel. Ambrose (Is that his name?) was on his knee, before looking up and smiling at me. I grinned back as he stood up and opened his arms, I grinned back and hugged him. Kissing his cheek as I pulled away.

"So what's with the visit, haven't seen you since you moved in with your aunt." I said, delighted to see him. Ambrose's aunt was a fotune teller or something, I don't know.

"That's actually is why I'm here, Aunt Rhonda requests your presence. She said something about the a prophecy that would concern you." He said, I sighed and nodded. I turned to one of my parents guards and gestured him over to me. He obeyed and came over to me.

"I need you to tell my mother and father that Christian, Alberta and I will be visited Rhonda for a few days. Tell my dear brother, Alberta and Stanny boy (Couldn't resist the urge) to pack and to meet me here in thirty minutes." I said turning on the all so lovely princess innocence and charm. I smiled warmly and I could have sworn he blushed, he nodded and hurried out the room. I gestured to the couch and Ambrose sat down and picked up a book.

I dragged Lissa out of there and back into my room. I took out my duffel bag and emptied it of its contents. I repacked it, putting in leather pants and leather tops, cotton pajamas, underwear, tolitries, my books and my sword just in case. Lissa and I talked while I changed into some of my fighting clothes. Combat boots, leather pants and a corset top. My sword was fastened on my waist as Liss and I walked to the kitchen, I still had 15 minutes before I needed to meet everyone so I wanted to eat.

I ate quickly and downed a cup of coffee before we started walkin back to the visitor room.

"What do you think Rhonda wants?" Lissa asked.

"I don't know," I said. Rhonda and Ambrose lived off of both ours and the Belikov's territory, she claimed she didn't want any part of the war so we granted her that wish. We had arrived and I opened the door and walked in. Christian smile at Lissa before sweeping her into a kiss. I just rolled my eyes and nodded to Alberta and Stan who nodded back. We said our goodbyes and walked to the stables.

I gave Moonshine a sugar cube and petted her snout before mounting her. I met everyone out side and we took of into the woods, Ambrose leading, Christian and I on his left and right, Alberta was on my right and Stan on Christian's left. We raced through trees only stopping when needed, we finally made it after a long and tiring ride. It was past midnight when Ambrose escorted me to my room, I thanked him and changed my clothes and went to sleep almost instantly.

I jerked awake to see a smiling Ambrose, I groaned and looked at the clock. 9 o'clock, it was time for me to get up. Ambrose laughed and let me shower and dress alone. I was wearing flare leather pants, a black leather top, boot heels, with a trench coat.. My sword once again on my waist and my hair in a half up, half down style. I walked out into the hall and saw Christian down the hall, I ran over to his side, just as he turned to smile at me.

We walked until one of Rhonda's workers told us she was ready to see us. We got to the door and I heard someone talking.

"What am I going here? My people need me!" That voice, it was so familiar. It was so cold and emotionless.

"Please relax Dimitri, you'll see why you're needed," Rhonda said. I automatically stiffened. I knocked softly on the door and I heard Rhonda's slightly raspy voice told me to come in. I put on my "princess" smile and walked in. Christian put a supportive around my shoulder and I relaxed a bit. Through the door there was a long table. Rhonda sitting at the far end, and two men standing next to her. My eyes immediatley locked on the man with blond hair and brown eyes. The murderer. He saw me starring and grinned, he knew who I was.

I could see him weilding his sword, cutting my little sister. I tensed up and a growl erupted from my throat, and I felt Christian's hold on me tighten. My hand moved instinctley to my sword. Christian pulled my hair and I winced, I pulled myself together and bowed my head respectfully.

"Excuse my manners," I smiled kindly. She nodded, and smiled.

"This is Dimitri Belikov, and his friend Lucas Green," Rhonda introduced, I tried to push all my feelings aside, and pull up my princess charade. I smiled my man eater/princess smile. When Dimitri turned to me a quiet gasp escaped my lips. Christian looked at me questionally and I shook my head. Dark brown hair and even darker eyes. A strong facial struture, kissable looking lips, tall really tall and a body that would drive a women to her knees.

"Comrade..," I breathed, barely audioble.

"I'm Rose Hathaway, and this is my older brother Christian Hathaway." I said, Dimitri's eyes widen slightly but he quickly composed his features. He nodded at me respectfully. I walked over to Rhonda who gestured for all of us to sit.

"Rosemaire, Dimitri, I have had a vision," she said, and we nodded for her to continue. I could tell Christian was stiff as a plank so I nudged him showing him I was struggling as well.

"It gave me a prophecy in which I think you two should know." she said.

" Two opposites, who never thought love would be theirs

Will come together to bring peace to their land

She is gently, kind, and a voice that sounds like angels

And he is calm and controlled

She is the Moon in the midnight sky who guides those in the night

He is the Sun in the sky who lights those in the dark

Two opposites who would do anything and everything to protect their people

Her grace, beauty, and the power of seduction makes her all the more dangerous

His knowledge, patience, and will make an almost perfect solider

But she is strong, stronger than she thinks, a power than can be used against him

Yet he may be strong, but only he can show her, just how strong she is

She loves unconditionally and that love can bring back the dead

He will be her rock when she is weak and cannot fight for herself

She will stand tall and proud

He will stay strong when everyone is weak

Such opposites but yet the same

Both are strong, full of power, are leaders, and are the rock for their people and each other

Their love for there loved ones is powerful, as will their love for each other

Both at war with themselves..., but also at war

... with each other...."

Towards the end I was murmuring the words seeing as they were the word uttered during one of my dreams. Some of the words were added or different but some were the same. I slapped my hand onto my forehead.

"Okay so what does this have to do with us?" Dimitri asked.

"I have a feeling the prophecy is about you two," Rhonda said, gesturing to me and him. "Princess do you not like going out and watching the moon rise and fall. When you see those soldiers dying on the battlefeild don't you always feel compelled to sing them to their death. Yet you like to party."

"Yes," I whispered, I felt anger radiating off of Christian.

"You what?" He asked, his voice strained.

"Later, please?" I all but pleaded. He growled quietly nothing like mine so it didn't worry me.

"And what about you?" Rhonda turned to Dimitri. "You want peace, yet you fight. You like watching the sun rise and set. You are known for being mercilous on the battle feild and leave many in your wake. Yet you like peace and quiet. Is that correct?" She asked.

He nodded wordlessly and turned his head. We talked about this some more, us mainly arguing the fact that we were supposed to be "soul mates", Rhonda trying to convince us. Finally I had, had enough, I stood up and looked at Rhonda in the eye, I refused to look at Dimitri and the murderer.

"Excuse me," I said and half-walked half-ran out the door. I was a few paces into the hallways when I heard Christian yelling for me to wait. I just started running. There was no way this could be happening, I couldn't possibly fall for the enemy.

"But don't you think you're already falling for him?" A soft voice in the back of my head said. I shook my head and continued running. My heels making as little noises as possible. That's when I heard a heavy set of foot steps following me, I ran harder, faster until I got to a window at the end of the hall. I looked out, three stories, I sighed I climbed out quickly standing on the ledge. I took a step into empty air, wind whiped my hair out of my face.

My feet hit the ground, my knee just barely brushed aganist the grass from the empact. I stood up and ran into the woods. I ran until I felt like I would collapse. I turned to a tree and punched it. I had punched walls, doors, and tables, but never a tree. It hurt! I looked at my knuckles to see blood trickling out. I shook it off and dropped to the ground. With my other fist I pounded the ground each time muttering a different swear.

No, no, NO! I couldn't, my people needed me, I was going to be queen soon, and I didn't need this. I pulled my knees up to my chest and rested my head. My arms covered my face and rested in my hair. I heard someone walk into the clearing, his breath was labored and I could tell who it was and it infuriated me to no end.

His presence was so familiar, and one that I would usually find comforting, but now it just pissed me of to the point where I felt my demon poke up her head.

"What the fuck do you want?" Venom dripped from my voice with each word.

"Seeing as your brother couldn't keep up, I was the only one to come after you." Dimitri said. I heard him take a step and I growled.

"Stay away from me." I said menacingly. He stopped moving and I stood up.

"Come on, let go, you know you want to, you know you wanna kill him," Darcy whispered. I shook my head trying to make her go away but she wouldn't leave.

"Are you alright?" He asked. My head felt it was about to explode but I nodded.

"Yea," I said my hand on my forehead. I leaned back on the tree and sighed quietly.

"Are you sure?" I jumped and growled my hand on my sword. He was right in front of me.

"Yes, I'm fine," I said, suddenly exhausted. "Why can't you just leave me alone?" I groaned.

"I don't know," he murmured. I looked up at the sky and saw the baby blue sky and the puffy white clouds, everything looked so free and peaceful. I sighed and looked back at Dimitri. "Why... why did you look at Lucas the way you did? Like you could have killed him right then and there." He asked, looking truly curious. Pain shot through me and I looked away.

"Remember when I told you about my sister?" I asked. He nodded. "He's the one who cut my sister, the one who started laughing when she screamed." My hands clenched at my side, blood dripping on the grass and over my skin. I drew my sword and saw Dimitri stiffened and took a step back. I growled and looked at the sword be I threw the it, and it landed in a tree about ten feet away. I saw him let out a breath he must have been holding but his posture didn't relax.

"I... I didn't know, he never told me that it was him, he said it was Alexander." Dimitri sounded confused.

"No, it was him alright, I remember who held her back and who cut her, he cut her." I said. I blushed slightly. "You must think I crazy." I stated and looked away. He walked up to me and put a finger under my chin.

"And why would I think that?" He asked making me look him in the eye. I felt like he was looking in to my soul.

"Because after five years I can barely even say my sisters name, much less face her killer without wanting...," I dragged off and looked away. He pulled my face back to look at his. I looked into his beautiful brown orbs and I want to cry and brake down like I had with Christian, but Dimitri was my enemy, regardless of the fact that his hands were sending white hot electrisity ran where ever he touched.

"Without what?" He asked. I didn't know whether to lie or tell the truth. Unfortunatley I choose the latter.

"After she was killed, I would lose control of myself, I would kill mercilously on the battle feild, and leave someone busted up pretty bad at the home. It felt as if I wasn't in control of myself, like I'm falling of the edge and getting closer and closer to insanity. It's like a black cloud always hovering over me, and my thoughts. And if I let myself fall, if I don't fight it. I could very well kill someone I love." I whispered. "Christian's only seen me lose control twice, that first time if Alberta hadn't come I could have killed him myself, my own brother. And the second time was yesterday...," I shuddered. "This time he was more prepared he helped me fight back. Hence when we walked in the room and he pulled my hair, he's getting better at learning the first signs."

Dimitri never let his eyes wonder, he always kept the eye contact. His body was almost touching me, and God I wanted to feel every part of him on m, but that was impossible. I wouldn't allow myself that.

"I'm so sorry," he whispered. I was shocked.

"It's not your fault," I said, my hand reached up to his cheek without my consent.

"They're my soldiers, I should have had made sure they were all on the field, and not in the woods." He said. I stayed silent. After a few minutes of silence he spoke.

"Thank you," My head snapped up, my eyes ablaze. He saw this and quickly explained himself. "For what you did for my brother, Anthoney," he said.

"He seemed to be a sweet young boy," I said, not even realizing what I was saying.

"He was," Dimitri whispered. "You sang to you enemy while he died. He didn't die alone, or seeing or hearing a fight. He went seeing and hearing you, and for that I thank you." He took my hand and I winced. He looked at my hand and saw the blood. I jerked my hand back before answering.

"Why didn't you take him back to your home instead of letting him stay in the wood all night?" I asked, slightly accusing.

"I too was wounded and couldn't have been able to carry him back." He said. He took my hand again and examined the wound. He produced a cloth and I swayed, I hadn't realized how deep the cut was. The blood hadn't stopped flowing and I took a step forward. I fell into Dimitri's arms as he screamed for me to get up. The last thing I knew the world was going black.

I woke up and looked around, I was in a beautiful clearing. A lake next to me and soft grass swayed. I was wearing a crimson and gold silk dress, a garnet necklace hung from my neck and I was wearing matching stilettoes. I heard someone walking up behind me and whipped around. I smiled warmly feeling my heart swell.

Isabell.
