We sat there for a while just admiring the girls so I began thinking. Did I take Dimitri back to easily? Will he leave me? What if he cheats on me again? How can I trust him? I really should have thought this all through…. I need some air.

"Hey, Dimitri, I'll be right back." I said while getting up from the couch.

"Is everything okay Roza?" He asked with concern filling his eyes.

"Um, yeah, just need some air." I replied turning away.

I walk out the door and into the morning sun and breeze. I didn't realize it was this cold yet. I lost track of the days I guess…. I began walking on the border of the wards. When I got to the gate, I saw that my friend was there and asked him to be let out of the wards. He granted access knowing I won't be going far.

When I stepped out, I got the usual headache and black spots but tried to put up my walls. They worked except for the faint color appearing before me. Mason.

"Hey, Mase, I thought your time was up eight years ago!" I said with a smile. I haven't had much contact with the dead since I don't go out as much anymore…. Mason gave me a smile and opened his mouth to speak.

"B-belikov…." He stuttered, guess he hasn't talked much? Well…duh….

"Oh…yeah, you know what I should do bout him?" I ask, knowing it's really stupid.

"I think…you…keep…him…." He started to fade.

"Bye Mase. Thanks…." With that I walked back into the wards of St. Basils. It wasn't a far walk to my house but I still needed time to think so I just took the long route.

I didn't get far until I ran into Adrian Ivashkov! He is my best friend here, now that Liss is queen I don't get to see her much. She will be here for Christmas. Adrian helped me and is the one who got me here. We dated for about a month until we realized that it wasn't going to work so we are like best friends now.

"Hey, little dhampir, where're you headed off to?" He greeted me.

"Hey, little smoker, just walking around, what're up to?" I joked with him.

"Looking for Katie, have you seen her anywhere?" Katie was Adrian's fiancé. She is really nice, smart, pretty, and didn't really seem like Adrian's type but they love each other! I turned around to look for her and she was walking towards us with graceful strides.

"Right there, Adrian." I pointed to her. She has medium-long dark brown hair with eyes that seem to change color. We make fun of her for being Strigoi because her eyes get red in them occasionally. "Hey, Katy, what's up?" I call her Katy because it annoys her.

"Hey, Rosie, nothing, looking for Adi. HE needs to come to the church to do our wedding plans!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, chill Kat. Chill." Adrian said…being him….

They walked; or rather she dragged him away. I walked back home to talk to Dimitri. Ugh.
