Rose: DON'T call him that! That is MY nickname for him. Bitch I will kick your ass!

-,-

Rose: What I thought, annnyway, Richelle Mead owns all rights and I own Comrade. Now you can start the story already.

"She saved all our lives on those." Christian said he looked down thoughtfully than raised his head to look at Sage. "Alright I'm in."

"Me to" Mia said.

"I will be there for Rose." Jill replied.

"You don't have to ask," Lissa commented

the room was quiet all eyes were on Eddie, "Fine I'm in."

"Well Sage, Do you have a plan, it looks like our merry band is of to Russia. "

Chapter 10

(APOV)

We had been in Russia for close to a month, Chomping at the bits to get this plan started. Shortly after our 11 hr. flight 2 train rides, and driving the rest of the way. We finally made it to Novis-something or another. We didn't leave court right away, after Sage floored all of us and we all agreed to this suicide mission. We went back to court to make legit reasons why we were all going to Russia. The hardest was Eddie, and Jill. Eddie being a court Guardian couldn't just pick-up and go. I had to 'sweet-talk' my great aunt Tatiana & influence so they would assign Eddie to me as a guardian while traveling.

Jill was trickier, she was not only a minor, but school was starting soon. arguments, compromises, and Compulsion finally got it to where she could go, but she had to keep up her studies, and a Guardian from the school was coming with us to watch over Jill, since technically she was their obligation.

We took the Monarch plane so we made good time, in comfort and style. We had to pair up for sleeping arrangements for the train rides. Lissa & Christian, Mia & the schools new guardian Kelvin Vladimirescu, Eddie took Jill since Kelvin took to guarding Mia instead. So that left and myself. At first it was tense, she was uncomfortable being stuck so close to all of us, when we all started breaking up into smaller groups for the night, she seemed a little less tense. Maybe it was just to many of us 'Evil creatures' at once to deal with. When she realized everyone was pairing up and she would not be in a room with a girl, but me she so still I thought she'd pass out. She stiffly stood up then walked to the room we were to share, walked in leaving the door open. When I walked in she was sitting on her bed staring out the window, her hands fisted together between her legs. I could hear her heart beat frantically beating and the slight sweet sweat smell, she was nervous. I couldn't help but smirk, not many people where scared of me when I was being charming or just me, in fact most just brushed me off. Leaning against the door I looked at how truly beautiful she was, now she wasn't my little damphir, but she was beautiful in her own way. Short Sandy blond hair neatly kept, I longed to run my fingers in her hair and mess it up. Her lips were slightly plump, looking like they were swollen from kissing already. Staring at them I say her perfectly pink tounge flick out her lips licking them then darting back in, bringing her bottom lip in slightly where she nibbled on it. I saw the slight pink color on her cheeks heating up to a rosie red. Looking down at her body, in a pant suit, with cream slacks and a baby blue long sleeve dress shirt, neatly buttoned and tucked into her pants. She was so neat and tidy I just wanted to 'mess' her up. She was to skinny I'd change that soon, wait when did I decide I'd do anything with her. Well when in Rome right.

"Is there anything you need? Your just standing there." Sydney's voice sounded husky and nervous. This was going to be good.

I walked into the room shutting the door with my foot as I walked further in. I stopped right in front of her. Squatting down so we were closer to eye level, I reached up brushing her hair back, smiling inside at messing up her hair already. Leaning forward I brushed my lips against hers, all while keeping eye contact, willing her not to freak out and try to stake me or something, she didn't. She leaned forward closing the distance between us.

God this was amazing, the electricity shooting through us was shocking. I had never felt like this even with little Damphir. With that thought in my head I instantly felt guilty. Here I was on my way to rescue the girl I had stalked for months, begging her to give me a chance and finally she agrees to it. I'm here making out with a Human, not just any human but an alchemist and one of her friends on top of it. I'm a dirt bag, shit. With that I pulled back, the confused and shocked look on her face was funny, and a crazy turn on. Taking a breath I stood up and sat on my bed.

Putting as much distance between us as I could, looking at her again I saw hurt plain and clear there. I wanted so bad to explain but it wouldn't have changed anything I honestly didn't know what I was doing. I stood up walking out of the room, closing the door behind me. Heading to the drink cart I needed something strong.

Walking down the hall I walked past Jill & Eddie's door which wasn't closed all the way I saw them curled up together in the same bed fully clothed asleep, Jill had a happy safe smile on her lips, and Eddie and a stupid goofy grin on his lips. Lucky man was all I could think about. closing their door all the way. I continued to the drink cart.

When we had made our destination, we were met with non-other that Abe Mazur, a mobster style Moroi, most knew about him. He quickly made it clear he was running the show, and we were going to follow his plan no exceptions.

We wanted to dive right in, He told us we had to wait for 're-enforcement' and he said he had a informant who was going to give us more info on the house and situation.

After 2 weeks I was losing my patience.

"Mazur, where are these 're-enforcement' you talked about, and your so called informant?" I couldn't hold my impatience back anymore.

"Right, are they walking or something, cause if that is the case I think they are going backwards." Christians snarky attitude was getting worse by the day.

We had stayed in a 3,000 sq ft. pint-house in downtown Novis-whatever. We were all going a little stark crazy. Not that we were being cooped up or anything, we went out a lot actually. I just think we all wanted to get Rose, now that we knew she was close, in arms reach. God only knows what they have done to her, we hadn't been able to find anymore about her, their 'spy' hadn't seen or heard about her in weeks. I was getting scared for her, I think everyone else was to.

In the time we have been here, Mia & Kelvin became a couple, as did Jailbait & Eddie, something about suicide missions really brings out the romantic side in people. Nothing has happened since the train with Sydney and me, but we both send glance at each other when we think the others aren't watching.

"re-enforcement are close but wont make a move til we get more info. We will be meeting my informant next week, patience Ivoskiov." as he said that he place a firm hand on my shoulder and squeezed painfully down, I almost buckled. Making eye contact he stepped closer to me whispering in my ear, "Don't question me son, I know all about your relationship with my baby girl, I will make you wish you were dead if you keep it up."

Gulping I nodded my head in understanding, he let me go then walked away, rubbing the spot that now was gonna be bruised that was for sure.

Another 2 weeks later, Mia, Lissa, Christian, Sydney, Abe, some of his hired guardians, myself were waiting a back ally, this just screamed 'Set-Up'

"You sure we are in the right place Mr. Mazur?" Lissa asked

"Yes." was Abe's only response

"What I don't understand is why we are even doing this?" Christian asked.

"What? you don't want to save Rose! Then why did you even come Christian!" Lissa was scared, we all were.

"Liss I didn't mean it like that, of course I want to save her. I just don't understand why we are meeting a stranger in a back ally, a stigoi on top of it, who says he has information for us. Doesn't that just scream ambush to you, just a little."

"A bit to late to back out now." a male voice spoke from the darkness.

"Are you the one who has the information?"

"Princess Dragonmir, maybe you should let the big boys deal with things. Your naivety will get you killed as well as others." he chuckled

Christian put his arm around Lissa pulling her behind him in a protective position. The mystery man walked forward a little more so I could see his pale skin and red ringed eyes.

Abe stepped forward, "We had a deal, do you have it."

"Yes," as he said this he pulled out an envelope handing it over to Abe.

"Everything is set up, in 3 days he is set to travel he should be gone for a few days. Rose isn't fit to travel, he has already asked me to stay and watch her. On the second day me and my group will be out feeding, at that time you will 'rescue' your friend." he sneered.

"Why are we making a deal with them?" asked the alchemist.

"What's in it for you?" asked Eddie

Smiling wide "That's for me to know, and you to find out." with that he turned and took off before we even blinked.

As everyone talked and started to leave I felt a pebble hit my shoulder, looking up I just saw a tall built man wearing a long leather duster floating in the breeze as he jumped off the roof that was above us.

Dimitri, he knows. What is he gonna do to Rose now, he knows he is being betrayed?

We got back to the Pint-house as soon as everyone was sitting down in the living room I told them what I saw.

"Dimitri knows."

"What?" several said in varying shades of shock and disbelief.

"He was there tonight, I saw him."

"Adrian, I didn't see him how could you?" Eddie asked

"Where was he?" Abe said

"He was on the roof of the building I was leaning on, I felt something hit my shoulder as our 'guest' was leaving when I looked up I was him leaving"

"Are you sure it was him? Did you see his face?" Eddie was relentless

"Yes, Castiel. How many giants do you know walking around with shoulder length hair wearing a long leather duster? walking silently and jumping off 4 story roofs?"

With that everyone was quite for a moment, taking it all in. Our plan we had been waiting and hoping on had failed before we ever really started.

"Well what are we going to do now?" asked Jailbait.

Everyone looked over at Abe, raising his hands up in a surrender jester "I'm still thinking, we could chance sticking to the plan, but He probably expects that. Did he see you see him?" I shook my head no. I was positive.

"Then he would be expecting us then, our best bet is to struck before he has time to either flee with her or prepare a strong defence."

"He said Rose isn't able to travel, what do you think he ment by that?" ask Lissa, I had been woundering that as well.

Abe sat down on the couch opening the envelope he had in his hand, he pulled out a few papers and pictures, some of Rose, and one paper looked like a Doctors note, like a script. The look on Abe's face was sick and fuming all at the same time. He wasnt to kill someone and badly. dropping everything on the coffee table he stood up and walked out on the deck. Lissa who had been sitting next to him reached out grabbing and reading the script, only to drop it as well and put a hand over her mouth silently crying. I was getting scared what was wrong with her?

Christian leaned over to comfort Lissa and grabbed the paper as well reading it, taking a breath,"Shit."

"What is it Christian, Is Rose ok, she isn't turned is she?" Jill's voice was high-pitched and bordering on breaking.

"No, she isn't changed. By what this paper says, our Rosie is expecting a little bundle of joy. Possibly 4-5 weeks along."

"Shit" Eddie and I said at the same time.

"How is that even possible?" Kelvin asked

Lissa dropped on the floor between the couch she had been sitting gon and the coffee table and started shuffling through the pictures.

"Lissa, calm down love." Christian wrapped a arm around her waist and rested his head on top of her's.

"It's gotta be here I know I saw it, ha!" she said as she grabbed a small 4x6 picture mostly black but had grey and white wavy lines through it. In the middle of it looked like a alien waving at us.

OH, MY GOD, she really is pregnant!

It was quite for a moment, then Abe came walking back in, phone in hand. Ok, everyone go get some rest, re-enforcement will be here in the morning. we struck at 11am!

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO R&R...WHAT DO YOU WANT BOY OR GIRL?
