Update yay! Lol. Questions about why Dimitri stayed in Russia will be answered in the very begging of this chapter. I hope you enjoy. You know what to do...REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW.

So Dhampir, I meant your little girlfriend a few days ago. She's pretty hot if I do say so myself. I probably should have caught up with her after she left and turned her. Or maybe held her hostage and made her a blood whore maybe? Well I guess that's not in the question for right now. Anyways back to the point. I did actually follow her and Imber to your hometown, I've been hanging around the past couple of days. Well you got away from me once, it's not going to happen again. If you try to leave and go back to that god awful academy in Montana, I will slowly torture and kill every one of your family members. Well except for that younger sister of yours, Viktoria is it? I think I would keep her for myself since I didn't think to do that with Rose. I guess there's always later for her though. Well as I said, I'd like to see you and when I see you I'd like to kill you for embarrassing me like you did. Meet me tomorrow night and eleven and remember if you leave with Rose and Imber your family is as good as dead.
~Nathan.
My mom had given me that letter this morning. It was now seven o'clock at night. I had scared her pretty good with the face I made while reading the letter down in the kitchen earlier. I had told Rose to go back to the Academy with Imber and let me stay here for a while. Thank God she had listened to me. For most of the morning I had been dreading that she wouldn't, but she had and now there was no way Nathan could get to her because right now she is probably about 20,000 feet in the air (A/N idk if that's actually how high airplanes fly, but w.e. Lol) and then after that she would be behind the wards of the Academy.
Telling Rose though and then knowing she left was so hard. We just got each other back and now we have to be separated again, but it would be okay. I'd be going back to her this time. I'd kill Nathan and we'd all be safe, Rose would be safe. My family would be safe. Now I just had to figure out how to surprise him, considering he's to one who planned the meeting. Having the element of surprise on my side is going to be kind of hard.

The flight from Russia had seemed longer than the one to Russia and by the time Imber and I finally got back to the Academy (I had convinced Alberta to come pick us up) all I wanted to do was go fall asleep somewhere. I wouldn't have cared if it was in a bush or on the freaking roof as long as I was sleeping. But instead of that, everyone was waiting for me and basically attacked me the moment I got out of the car. Even Adrian was there. I still felt bad about him. I loved him, just not enough. Seeing him also made me think of Dimitri. I didn't know if he was safe or not. God I shouldn't have left him.
"Rose, God I didn't know when I was going to see you again." Lissa said running up and hugging me.
"I told you I'd be back." I said hugging her back. It was so good to see her.
It was also nice to see Eddie and Mia (she didn't move to Court in this) and...my mother? Hmm she was there standing next to a man I'd never seen before in my entire life. I wonder what that was about.
IPOV (Imber)
"You must be Imber." A man said as he walked towards me. From the looks of him I was guessing he was Adrian.
"Yeah, I'm guessing you're Adrian?"
"The one and only." He said, his gazing roaming off towards Rose. I could see all the love that he has for her in his eyes.
"You really love her don't you?" I asked.
"Yeah, I do. You'd think I wouldn't considering how everything ended up between us, but I do. I can't help it." He said. I had just met him and he was pouring his heart out to me.
"Well, she loves you too. You know that right?"
"I'd like to know that. She loves Belikov, not me." I said, the pain obvious in his voice.
"She loves you too. She's told me, but she loves Dimitri too. She's told me how hard it was for her to hurt you the way she did. She loves you, but it just wasn't enough. She's told me so many times how much it hurt her to hurt you. She would have done anything the not hurt you, but it was inevitable. I saw her and Dimitri together back in Russia. They're honestly met to be together." I finally finished.
"Okay then." He said. "You know even though what we're talking about sucks, I like talking to you."
"I like talking to you too." I told him. And I honestly did he wasn't afraid to tell me how he feels even though it's really personal feelings.
"Well, then maybe we should talk again sometime." Adrian said and then walked away.
"Okay..." I called after him.
"Come on, Imber. We're going to guest housing to give you your house and then after that I get my room back. Now let's go cause I wanna sleep!" Rose called to me.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." I said walking over to her.
So they took me to my apartment over in the guest housing like Rose said they would and then Rose went off to go sleep for what I imagined would probably be for about 14 maybe 24 hours. My room was really nice. There was my bedroom which was also the TV room, then there was a bathroom and a kitchenette off of the bedroom. It was nice, cozy in a good way.
I unpacked my things which was just clothes and a few pictures and other odds and ends that I've picked up though out my life. After that I slept for a couple of hours and then got up to take a shower and then walk around the Academy to see where everything was.
As I walked out my door, I ran into my neighbor, literally, and guess who it was. Adrian.
"Well hello, Imber."
"Hey, Adrian. I'm sorry, I ran into you." I said, embarrassed.
"It's okay, I wasn't looking." He said.
"Sure you weren't. So where are you off to?" I asked.
"To the cafeteria to get some lunch. Want to come with me?"
"Definitely. I'm starving and I have absolutely no clue where anything is in this place."
"Well, then follow me." Adrian said. And I did because as I said, I was starving.
When we got to the cafeteria there was lunch food and some stuff left over from breakfast. I went for the breakfast food and grabbed two bagels and a couple of strawberry filled powder doughnuts. Hey I'm hungry.
"You eat like Rose." Adrian said, he only having a ham sandwich and some dill pickle chips on his plate.
"I don't normally eat like this." I said, a blush creeping up my neck to my cheeks.
"Hey, I didn't mean it as a bad thing. I was just saying." He said with a grin as we took our seats at a table.
"So, how do you like the Academy?" He asked after a moment of eating.
"Well considering I've only seen the parking garage, my room and now the cafeteria, I'm not sure. The food is good though. I have a thing for bagels though, it's been a very long relationship...been going on since I was little and I haven't met a bad one yet." Adrian outright laughed at that. His laugh made me smile, it was cute and his eyes sparkled while he laughed too.
"Well, I hope you and bagels stay happy together. Do you want me to give you a tour of the place?" He asked once he stopped laughing.
"I'd love that." I said. I think I'm developing a crush on Adrian Ivashkov.
"Well, then once you're finished with bagel and then done cheating on him with doughnut, we can go do that." Now it was my turn to laugh.
"Okay." I said, still giggling.
"Okay, time to start your own personal tour." Adrian said leading me out the door of the cafeteria.
"Let's go." I said.
The tour was nice. I'm learning that I really like to spend time with Adrian. He showed me literally every single part of the Academy and that once the snow melts and it gets warm he said that there's a pond out in the woods and we'll have to get everyone together and go swimming which sounds amazing because I haven't been swimming in years. I also wouldn't mind seeing Adrian shirtless. During the tour we also ran into Rose. I didn't really expect to see her, I thought she'd still be sleeping. We'd only been here for about ten hours at that point. I was pretty sure she had just got up recently though.
"Hey." Rose said when she saw us. I also saw Adrian's eyes light up when he saw her. They were like when he had been laughing. Rose says she does love him and I have absolutely no doubt that she does, but I doubt she noticed the sparkle in his eyes. Wow I really am falling for him aren't I. I've never felt this way about a guy so quickly before.
"Hey, Rose." I said. "Adrian's giving me a tour of the Academy."
"Fun, fun. Did he take you to the cafeteria." She asked, I had no doubt that was where she was off to now.
"Yup, he took me there first. Thank God, I was starving." I said with a smile.
"All I can say is she eats like you, Little Dhampir."
"Hey, I told you that I don't normally eat that way."
"And I said it's not a bad thing. You don't need to lie to me." He said, smiling with me.
"She really doesn't eat a lot, Adrian. She eats more like Lissa than me. I did tell her about how you pretty much stalked me when we first met, maybe she's just trying to make sure the same thing doesn't happen to her." Rose said.
"She doesn't need to worry about that." Adrian muttered so low I could barely hear him and I don't think Rose did. My face fell instantly at his words. He'd have to get over her eventually right?
"Well, speaking of eating like Rose Hathaway, Rose Hathaway needs to go eat like Rose Hathaway. I'll see you guys later. Have fun with the tour." She said as she walked away.
"You do know that you have to get over her eventually." I said to him as we continued with the tour.
"Yeah, I know. That's easier said than done though." He said, his face looking grim. "But we don't need to worry about that right now. Come on we're almost done."
I followed and soon after I was back in my room, tired again so I went back to sleep for a few more hours. And I had a pretty interesting dream.
There you go. I liked writing this chapter. It basically wrote itself, it was so easy to write. I really liked writing Imber's POV, do you guys think that her and Adrian would be cute together? Speaking of Adrian, I found the perfect actor to play him. Andrew Garfield from The Social Network, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and Never Let Me Go. Google him :) he's gorgeous lol and a really good actor. Well you know what to do...REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW.
Btw I though of this song while reading the whole Rose, Adrian, Imber scene
Invisible by Taylor Swift
She can't see the way your eyes light up when you smile And I just wanna show you There's a fire inside of you that can't help but shine through Like shadows in a faded light I just wanna show you she don't even know you She can't see the way your eyes light up when you smile
She'll never notice how you stop and stare whenever she walks by
And you can't see me wantin you the way you want her
But you are everything to me
She don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
You just see right through me but if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle unbelievable instead of just invisible
She's never gonna see the light
No matter what you do
And all I think about is how to make you think of me
And everything that we could be
And I just wanna show you
She don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
You just see right through me but if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle unbelievable instead of just invisible
Oh we're Invisible
I just wanna open your eyes and make you realize
Baby let me love you let me want you
You just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle unbelievable instead of just invisible
