"Shit I needed to wake up and help them what….. where… Adrian?" I said softly

"Hey little Dhampir " Adrian said he had a smile on his face but he walked over and apparently he just left me how I was because he sighed. "What in the hell happened to you?"

"I don't remember, I just remember fighting the stirgoi and victor's guardians." I said softly and saw how he was looking at me.

"Even In my dreams you know the thought of your blood drives me crazy are you ok?" I said softly and ran his hand along the side of my face. "Victor? You mean he is there too why?"

"He wants Audrianna, and apparently Robert wants me. He said I was his"

"As if your mine." Adrian said pulling me into his arms.

"Drie…. I love you. But I need to wake up and help."

"I know but I am not keeping you here, your knocked out I just managed to find you in your dream."

"Oh… god I hope they are ok."

"Who was with you?"

"Uh Dimitri and some other guardians I didn't know. "

"Oh I am sure they are ok."

"Victor is working with the Stirgoi."

"My parents are fighting….. Because my dad is holding off till Lissa gets her palace but my mother is pushing for them to find you and kill you."

"Kill me?"

"She still says you killed Tianna"

"Oh I wonder if I can…. Maybe if I am passed out …."

"Rose be careful…."

"I will be"

I closed my eyes and the whole dream turned dark and ghosts where all around, Adrian grabbed my arm I could tell he saw them too and he was a bit scared. "Tianna?" I said softly and she walked forward she was starting to fade a bit I know her time was almost up.

"Rose….Adrian what are you doing here?" Tianna said looking at him.

"He was in my dream I got knocked out ." I said softly and I actually pulled Adrian closer because there was ghosts all around us looking at him. I didn't know how he was going to take this not to mention I didn't know if the ghosts would attack him or not.

"It isn't safe for him." Tianna said and hissed a eerie noise but a ghost backed off who was next to Adrian. "What do you need?"

"Victor knows about Audriana, he knocked me out, and " I stopped as Adrian started talking.

"Who killed you" Adrian just flat out said.

"You know who did Adrian. Deep down you know but it wasn't alone others helped"

"No it isn't true"

"It is."

"But why? And why blame Rose?"

"Rose was in their way, powerful, Rose is close to you and Lissa. If Rose was blamed for it then Lissa would break down, and they would win and take over."

"But why did…" Adrian started to say as a ghost grabbed him. "What the hell."

"They want his life his spirit it is shinning to them." Tianna said and sighed. "LET HIM GO."

"Make me" the ghost said.

"I WILL MAKE YOU LET HIM GO." I said and glared at the ghost I don't know what I did but I thought about destroying the ghost and he burst into light by little holes all over him.

"Thanks Rose" Adrian said softly. We looked at each other a moment and in a blink we were back in our dream before the beach I knew Adrian pulled us back and I smiled. He pulled me close and kissed me.

"Adrian I have to tell you something." I said and sighed I knew I had to tell him what happened. I couldn't lie to him.

"What is it little Dhampir ?" He said softly kissing my forehead. "Whatever it is we'll be ok."

"That is just it. I screwed up, I lost control. I was with Dimitri." I said softly not looking at him.

"You mean… you and him…" He said softly looking at me.

"Yes." I said softly.

"Damnit Rose…. I knew I should have went. Do you… are you…."

"I love both of you and it just happened I don't trust him right now and worse my sister my twin is all over him and it is pissing me off but I got so pissed too when she said she was thinking about messing with you too. Because I love you I don't want to lose you."

"Rose you just said you loved me….." Adrian said looking right at me.

"I do love you Adrian." I said looking back.

"Promise me you will not do that again. Rose my sweet little Dhampir please. There is so much more I can give you that he never can. I want you to come back to me, I want us to be together, and when you're ready I want to have a family with you, marry you. Rose I love you I always have. And I will wait for you as long as I have to. " He said softly looking at me I could tell his words he meant all of them and part of me deep down knew I couldn't have that with Dimitri how I wanted too thought.

"I promise." I said softly and held on to him tears running down my face. What was wrong with me I wanted both of them it was so wrong but I couldn't help it.

"You know you need to play fair too… I always had you and he had you twice" Adrian smirked.

"I know but in a dream? " I said tilting my head.

"No Rose when you get back, the first night your back….. You have to make up for your cheating on me you have to prove your words your I love you. No stopping this time."

"Ok Adrian I will." I said biting my lip a moment because something told me that it would be a bad idea but I let it go.

"I am still mad at you though" he said and sighed I saw a tear in his eyes and I whipped it away.

"I am sorry." I said looking down. I felt bad at this point I was even crying.

"Shhh it is ok little Dhampir" he said I swear he saw my tears and felt my pain. "You know when you're sad your aura shows it. Shhh it is ok."

"What was tianna talking about you know who did it?" I said softly.

"Not right now." He said and sighed.

"Adrian you know don't you?" I asked and sighed as I felt my body being pulled out of the dream. Damnit I wanted to know who framed me and why. I sighted and opened my eyes. "Who woke me up?" I said in a dark cold tone.

"I did." A voice said and I looked up and sighed.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I said shaking my head at her.

"Now that is no way to talk to me, after all I did to cover for you. Shame still mad at me I don't blame you on and I did forget to tell you, while he was pissed at you Dimitri and I were together. "

"Your so full of shit talking mushrooms Tasha" I said shaking my head. "Why are you here and why are you with Victor and where am I?"

" You got knocked out and we kidnapped you, that girl and of course Dimtiri but he is tied up in my room, and you won't ever see him again."

"You two huh? Well did he tell you what we did last night? Did he tell you how hot intense of a night it was? Or the passion did he go there?" I said throwing it in her face.

"You little whore" Tasha said and I pulled my arm free and smirked I pushed her out of my way so if she was a Moroi I didn't care I ran through the house.

"Dimitri?" I yelled running through the house.

"Roza?" I heard his voice and I followed it. Damn was she right she litterly had him tied up in her room. "Please get me out of here." He said his face he looked scared.

"What happened." I said as I looked at the way she had him tied no cuffed and all I sighed and looked for a key.

"Victor knocked you out, oh Roza I was so worried about you, Audrianna was in the other room, they took he too and Dylan too. I am not sure where your sister is. Oh Roza you're bleeding. Still and you look pissed."

"I wake up to Tasha talking shit. About you and her and just argh. " I said and sighed. "I kind of threw it back her face about me and you but she was saying that you two….."

"Roza… I would never." Dimitri said and once his hand was free he pulled me close and flipped over so I was under him. "I love you only you."

"I know we need to find Audrianna and Dylan and get out of here" I said softly. I could tell that Audi wouldn't leave Dylan behind and it was fine.

"Yes of course." He said getting up, something about him didn't seem right but I let it go. For now at least. I looked at him though as he didn't seem to move he was still up and over me looking at me. "Or we could stay here a moment longer." He said and kissed me.

I returned the kiss but pushed him away and off me. "Dimitri not right now please, let's just get out of here." I said and sighed I hated having to do that but we couldn't right here not like this. He sighed and nodded as if I hurt him but he got up and we started to look for Audi.

Sure enough Victor was in the room she was in, she was scared and shaking Dylan was holding her close and the two it was easy to tell they were in love. "Ether your going to help us or you're going to die" Victor said glaring at her I saw fear in that look she had. I looked to see who was in there, two guardians that was it. I looked at Dimitri who nodded as if we were thinking the same thing.

What we didn't count on was Robert who grabbed me from behind, by my ponytail no less. "Rosemarie you're coming with me, and if you say no then Dimitri will die." He whispered in my ear. Though I know Dimitri heard it.

"What do you want Robert" I snapped trying to get free which when someone has your ponytail and pulls it when you're trying to get free HURTS.

"You of course" he said and smirked. Someone hit him in the back of the head though knocking him out.

"That guy is annoying let's go get Audi" Anne said and I smiled at her and nodded. The three of us went into the room and the second we did the two guardians attacked us they were strong and yet we managed to get the upper hand we threw them back into the wall and the fight was a battle of the wills we almost lost but Anne had staked one and ran at the other. Victor saw him as over powered and took off telling us it wasn't over.

"Are you ok?" I said looking at Audi and Dylan.

"Yes.." Dylan said softly holding a shaking Audi.

"We should go to court get her safe" I said softly and sighed.

"Yes we should" Dylan said helping her up.

"He he said he was going to turn Dylan.. Awaken him" Audi said as we walked outside and Dimitri called a cab since we had no car.

"Listen to me Audi. If Dylan ever turns then your sister and I will bring him back like we brought back Dimitri ok, he might have some issues but he will get over them." I said softly Dimitri just looked at him with a I am still so sorry for what I did look which I ignored.

As we got the cab we went to the airport and got tickets to the next flight home. Five tickets it was rather costly but I knew Adrian would understand this one. I pulled out my cell as everyone was waiting we had a good hour to wait. Dimitri and I took them to get some food. Once they were settled I moved away a moment to call Adrian. I heard a sigh from Dimitri as I did.

"Rose." Adrian's voice came on the other line almost half asleep.

"Adrian sorry to call I know it's late there but we got Audi and we are on our way back, "

"Ok I missed you and you still owe me"

"I know Adrian but I wanted to ask what your aunt was talking about?"

"Huh?"

"In the dream you know who set me up don't you?"

"I I don't remember" he said and sighed I knew he was lying he knew

"Adrian please"

"Not over the phone if you really want to know we will talk in a dream it is the safest place. But listen to me when you get back, they will try to stop you, take you back into jail, I want you to be careful, what is the plan info I'll meet you at the airport." He said softly.

"Shit that isn't good. I got to go sorry Adrian." I said and hung up looking around as I put the phone back into my pocket and I saw why my stomach was hurting Three Strigoi where staring at me. I knew I had to keep them away from Audriana and I sent one text simple one word. "Buria" to Dimitri. I knew he would understand what I meant and I lead the strogoi away from where audrianna was.

It wasn't like me to run but they were after me so the chased me which was perfect I got them away from where all the people were and I was thrown at a baggage claim which I felt the pain my back as I hit it but got up and kept fighting it took a lot more than that to get the best of me. I was out numbered three one hardly fair but I didn't care we were in a empty part of the airport and we kept fighting. I pulled out my stake and when in seconds I had killed one of them.

I didn't count on one of them grabbing my wrist and biting me I screamed a moment before I felt the high damnit. I feel to my knees spinning. I managed to look and it wasn't a stirgoi it was Robert, who just bit me He let me go and I fell down, I was spinning a high damnit this sucked. "Leave her alone" a voice said and I barely remember watching everything that happened. I looked at my wrist as I started to get myself back I was weak though. "Are you ok?"

"Yea I think so." I said softly and sighed.

"It didn't turn her, thank god" Dimitri said looking at me, I was sleepy though but I knew what he meant.

"No it was Robert who bit me, not the strogoi" I said softly.

"We got here just before they did, they wanted too but we took care of it and we need to go get on the plane." Anne said and sighed. Dimitri ripped his shirt and wrapped it around my wrist because it was still bleeding a little.

"I was worried Roza" he said softly.

"Will you to Hurry up this is the last flight till tomorrow!" Anne said and we followed her. For my sister she was demanding and hated me being with Dimitri. I actually feared her changing on me, playing the looks thing you know. I sighed at the thought and we all got into the plane. I still felt out of it and dizzy though like something was wrong.
