REVIEW :D


Chapter 9

"Rose?" I moaned and shifted around on the couch.

"What…" I said facing a girl with red eyes and blonde hair.

"A girl is at the door and is asking for you. I stopped Justin from doing anything. She's a Dhampir." I moaned once more before pushing myself off the couch and headed towards the front door. I changed my eye color the second before I saw brown hair.

Her long brown hair was facing me in a messy ponytail. She was wearing a jogging outfit and tennis shoes.

"Viktoria?" She turned around and smiled at me.

"Hey."

"Hey, what are you doing jogging at-" I glanced at the digital clock in the living room with my strigoi senses, " 9 o-clock at night?" I asked her.

"Well first of all I jog everyday and I'm still on vampire schedule. Second, this is the time your awake, and third why were you asleep at 9 pm?" She said.

"You have your reasons and I have mine. Let's keep it that way." I said.

"Well anyways, my family wanted to meet you so they want to know if you would like to eat dinner with us at 10. There will be human blood for you." I hesitated, but finally nodded.

"Sure, I'll be there at 9:50. I just have to get ready."

"Awesome! See you then!" She said. I nodded and closed the door as she skipped down the steps happily.

"Someone has a date and my god did that girl look tasty." Justin said as he came down the stairs.

"You will leave her alone and her family. Got it?" I hissed.

"Yes mam!" He said. I shook my head and dragged myself up the stairs. I retreated to the bathroom first to do my hair and makeup. I curled my hair into nice spiral curls. I put a tad of eyeliner and blush for the finishing touches.

"Rose! Hurry up! I have to go to the bathroom!" Andy yelled from the otherside of the door.

"You don't got to the bathroom you idiot!" His laughed filled the bathroom and the hall. I could already imagine him grinning at the door.

"Doesn't mean I can't try!" I growled and opened the door.

"You dumb ass." I said as I passed him out the door. I walked to my bedroom and opened the door. My new room looks exactly like my old one, just as twice as big and with a flat screen tv. It also has a new computer desk and a fridge with blood and wine inside. I even got a better closet; it's a walk in! I smiled as I opened the closet door and walked in. I shuffled through my clothes to find most of them stained from hunting.

I stopped in front of a leather jacket with bloodstains on it. This was the jacket I wore when the twins ditched us and when Abe's friends decided to drop by.

I haven't seen Amber and her friends in a while. They said their goodbyes and wished us luck before retreating to America.

I remember that night, the two teenagers I drank from, well the one I drank from. Before that someone interrupted my hunt, um who was it. Um, oh shit! I forgot! Fransico and Jessica! They told me to tell Justin 'Game on'. There will be a big family meeting when I get back.

I picked out a casual blue blouse and slacks. I put on blue heels and sat on my bed watching the clock tick by. When I had five minutes before I must leave I went on a search for my car keys. I shuffled around the room, going through purses and clothes, and found it in my hamper, in a pair of jeans I wore the other day,

I picked a blue purse from my dresser and picked up my IPhone off my computer desk. I ran down the stairs and opened the door.

"Bye! Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone!" I screamed.

"Okay! We'll try not to!" A group of voices said from the study. I shook my head and sighed. I left the house and locked the door behind me.

I jumped into my red Ford Mustang convertible and drove to Viktoria's house. I turned up the radio and started singing out loud to 'Lady Gaga'.

'Poker Face' was just ending when I reached the house. I parked the car near the curb and took a deep breath. I looked at the mirror and made sure my eyes were brown. I stepped out of the car and walked up the steps. Viktoria met me outside and looked at me from head to toe. She nodded to me when she 'accepted' my clothing and hair choice.

She was wearing a blue dress with sequins around the breast area. Her hair flowed down to her stomach and her gold streak stuck out beautifully.

"Come on my mom can't wait to talk about you more." I laughed and followed her into the house.

She led me to what looked like a dinning room. There was a wooden table and chairs with a nice white dinning set on the table.

Viktoria sat in a chair and pulled out the chair to the right of her. I sat down and looked at my surroundings. There were six other chairs, empty to my right and left.

"Ma!" Viktoria called out. Viktoria's mom came out from two push out doors and smiled at the both of us.

"Rose. Hello I never introduced myself. I'm Olena. Viktoria's mom." She said shaking my hand.

"Nice to meet you." She nodded and turned to walk to a chair across from us. As she moved along the table, a glass fell and sliced her finger. Drops of blood fell from her finger. I hungrily watched as the blood flowed onto the floor.

"Oh my, how clumsy of me." She said grabbing a washcloth. I was going to stand up involuntary, but Viktoria stood up and pushed me back down. She hushed her mother into the kitchen and I sat there bewildered about how I almost attack Olena.

I mentally slapped myself as Viktoria and Olena stepped back into the room.

"Are you okay?" I asked trying to distract myself.

"Of course Hun, just a couple of drops of blood were lost." A couple of drops went to waste, I thought. I watched Viktoria as she tried to clean up the blood.

She caught me staring and glared at me. I quietly hissed and turned my gaze back to Olena.

She was wearing a sweet red dress with her hair into small waves that go down to her shoulders.

She smiled and looked towards the front hallway. There was light stomping coming down the stairs, I assume coming from the rest of the family.

Two women around in their twenties came down. One of them was older, her hair was in a nice half up do, and the younger one's hair was straight and down. A little boy soon came out and hid behind the older one.

"Karolina, I hope Zoya is asleep." Olena said to the older one. Karolina nodded and looked towards me.

"Hi, I'm Karolina and this here, is my son, Paul." She said. I stood up and bent down to the little boy. I smiled and stuck my hand out.

"Hi, I'm Rose." He giggled and ran to his grandmother. I stood up straight and extended my arm out to Karolina.

"Rose,"

"Nice to meet you. My younger daughter is asleep right now, she is a baby, but you'll meet her later, some day." I nodded and watched as she made her way next to Olena.

The younger women walked up to me and smiled.

"I'm Sonya, Its nice to meet you finally. My mom and sister couldn't stop talking about you." I smiled and laughed.

"I can't wait to hear what they have been talking about." I said. Sonya nodded and sat in the chair next to Viktoria.

With my strigoi senses a new presence came from behind me. I immediately turned around in guardian mode ready for a attack. An elderly lady stood in front of me staring into my eyes.

"Rose, this is my mom Yeva." Olena said from behind me. Yeva, where have I heard that name before? Maybe at school? At court or the lodge? If it was important then I would have remembered anyways so oh well, I thought.

"Hi, I'm Rose." I said. She used her crane to hit me in the back of my legs. I stumbled, but regained my strength back. I was about to talk smack to her, but she spoke first.

"Straighten up your posture." She said as she grabbed the seat beside me.

"This will be fun," I muttered under my breath. I sat down and watched as Olena excused herself to get the food.

"So Rose, tell us. How did you know how to stake a Strigoi?" Sonya asked.

"Well I grew up with Dhampir's and I felt weak compared to all of them, so some of the guardian's there helped me train."

"That is so cool, I wish I could have trained when I could. Viktoria still might have a chance to train. You see our brother left when he was young so he could train. We haven't seen him since." She said sadly.

"I'm so sorry." I said.

"It's okay, we hear that he is one of the best guardians out there." I smiled and nodded, "So where are you from?" She asked.

"South America a small Dhampir town no one has heard of." I said quickly.

"Oh cool," Karolina said for Sonya.

"So Rose, who is your father?" Yeva said rudely.

"Um,"

"I mean because since you are full Moroi and I heard that he wasn't in the picture. Did your mom have an affair?"

"Mom!" Olena called from the door.

"No, it's okay. Um I do not know the whole story, but I do know that he is Ibrahim Mazur." I said proudly.

"Your Mazur's kid?" She said. I smiled and nodded.

"Ha! No wonder he left you, you're a disappointment compared to him." She said. I glared at her and stood up.

"Um, I must go now. Thanks for everything." I said heading towards the door.

"But Rose! Dinner hasn't been served." I continued walking and listened to whispers of disappointment to Yeva.

When I got out of the house I ran to the car in strigoi speed and drove home, over the speed limit.

I got there in a matter of seconds and sat in the car. In my real life, he did leave me. Did he really think of me as a disappointment? Is that why he left me? I wondered about that my whole life. Mom has always told me about what a great guy he was and everything, but is he really that great?

A light tap came from the passenger seat's window and I rolled it down to find Chloe.

"Hey. You okay? She asked.

"Yeah…" I said. I wiped my eyes and found salty tears running down my cheeks.

"Want to go for a walk?" She asked. I nodded and got out of the car.

We walked along the streets in silence. After we got out of the house's view Chloe spoke.

"What happened?" She asked. I stopped walking and sat on the curb. She did the same and moved my head on her shoulder. A car's headlights moved along the sidewalk and drove to the neighborhood around the house.

"Viktoria, the one who you met today, well her grandmother told me I was a disappointment to my father and that's why he left me and mom." I sadly said.

"No, Rose. If he thought that he wouldn't have came back to look for you to save you." She said.

"But-" I started.

"No buts. Now keep your head up and know that your father loves you no matter what that old lady says." She said.

"You know, for a strigoi your pretty nice." She laughed and helped me up.

"Only to the people that don't piss me off, unlike the boys." I laughed and we continued walking down the street. We found a park and sat on the swings, swinging back and fourth only four inches off the floor.

"Aye, the boys. What will we do with them?" I asked her.

"Torture them until they learn?" She suggested. I laughed and nodded.

"Hell yeah!" We both laughed and smiled.

"Oh hey, do you know who Fransico and Jessica are?" I said remembering that night.

"Hm, doesn't ring a bell. Why?" She said.

"Well the night Abe's friends dropped in, I was interrupted from my hunt by two strigoi. They told me to tell Justin 'Game on'" She thought about it, but shook her head.

"They probably mean his stupid x-box games he plays online. God knows how many strigoi he knows." I nodded and smiled.

"We should get back." She nodded and got off the swing. I jumped up and smiled widely at her.

"What?" She said confused.

"Want to have some fun?" I said slightly pushing her.

"Like what?" I smiled and ran in place.

She stared at me confused until she realized what I was doing.

"Your on." I laughed and sprinted back to the house. I ran before her, letting me get in the head and ran as fast as I could.

A couple of seconds later we were neck to neck, I pushed her and she went flying behind.

I ran faster this time, and I could hear her footsteps from behind me, running really fast, but not as fast as me.

I reached the house and stopped on the lawn. It took Chloe ten seconds before she stood in front of me.

"That is so interference!" She complained.

"Say what you want, but I won!" I said as we walked up the front steps. I opened the door and sniffed the house for the boys. I smelled unfamiliar smells and rushed to the study. Chloe was behind me, ready to attack and stopped next to me when we reached the study door. We were in the doorway when I saw seven heads turn toward the door. There were four boys and three girls. There were three brunette haired boys and one blonde. There were two blonde girls and one brunette.

One of the guys stood up and his hair reached his shoulders.

"Rose?" He said in a soft gentle voice.

"Dimitri?"


OMG AHH DIMITRI! :) Hope you like!
