Hey everyone thanks SOOOOOOO much for all the reviews I love them all.

It is so hot here and I am so uncomfortable.

I toke at least three cold showers today.

Right now I am watching Hey Arnold and writing.

I hope you like this chapter.

I don't own VA : (

Driving through the dessert with three moroi was painful. Not in a literal since but you get what I mean. Lissa and Christian were in the back seat cuddled together sleeping. Adrian was sitting up front with me. Lucky for us Lissa and Adrian were great at compulsion. We got a car with out any real problems. We even got one with tinted windows so everyone would be semi comfortable. We had to drive straight through in order to keep ahead. I knew Abe was following close behind and I had a feeling he wasn't alone. I don't know how I knew but I just did. Every so often Adrian would scoot closer to me giving me a sexy grin. Christian thankfully had Jill's address and phone number. We called from the car rental place telling her were coming to visit. No one knew I was around though. It was better if they didn't. I didn't know how Emily would react to me showing up at her door step being an escaped criminal and all. The thought made me a laugh a little. It was so ridicules. I wish we weren't on the run thought. I really wanted to stop and take in this sight. The dessert was amazingly beautiful. The was the wind and water formed all the different canons and rocks. The color of the sky as the sun went down. It was bright orange with purple and pink swirled into it. The stars shone brighter then anything I had ever seen. Part of me wanted to just walk out in the middle of it and stay there. No more drama and hurt. No more running and fighting for my life. I could just live out here in peace. Then I shook that thought out of my head. I still was hoping to be Lissa's guardian and I would give anything just for that. There was nothing I wanted more. I worked my whole life for it. I turned and smiled at Adrian. He was falling asleep with his head leaned against the window. Light snores were coming from Lissa and I chuckled once more.

The drive seemed to take forever. Adrian and Christian toke turns driving while I slept some. Lissa's phone ringed every so often calls coming mostly from Abe and My mom. God my mom I hadn't thought about her lately. She was probably so disappointed in me. We worked so hard to get so far and I bet this will set it back to where it was. I felt tears rise in my eyes but I blinked them back. It was hard holding it in my eyes started to burn but I toke a few slow deep breaths. Finally I calmed down enough to fall asleep. I woke up several hours later to Christian poking me in the side.
"I think she slipped into a coma I swear." He said poking me harder this time.
"What. Do. You. What?" I asked slowly.
"We're here." I toke a breath and sat up. Lissa was worried all the way down to her core. She didn't feel anything else. I pulled her into a hug.

"Don't worry everything will be fine. I will be right her watching." I said squeezing her tightly one more time before letting her go. I watched her walk away then I turned up the AC and sank into her head.

She had already knocked on the door. Christian was holding her hand encouraging her. Adrian stood there with a sloppy grin on his face. He was finding this whole thing entertaining. He didn't know why Lissa was worried. She already knew she liked Jill a lot. We all did. Emily answered the door and looked just like I remembered. Lissa toke in a deep breath and Emily's eye went wide when she saw Lissa standing there.

"Princess. Please come in." She said politely.

"Please call me Lissa. This is my boyfriend Christian and my good friend Adrian." Lissa said gesturing to each as she said there name.
"Hi. Can I get you three anything to drink?"

"Would you happen to have any wine?" Adrian asked

"I do."

"Well I think we could both us a drink." He said. She nodded and smiled.
"Soda for the kiddies." Adrian told her and followed her into the kitchen. Lissa leg started to bounce as she sat crossing her right leg over her left then switching over and over. Christian placed his had over he knee and smiled. I could feel the smile she gave him back.

A few moments later Adrian and Emily came back into the living room.
"I'm afraid you have missed Jill. She went out for the day shopping." Emily said to everyone.

"I was actually hoping to talk to you alone." Lissa said to her.
"I was afraid of that." She said lightly. Clearly worried herself.

"So you know why I am here?"
"I have a feeling I do."

"How come you never told me? I was alone for so long thinking I had no family left." Lissa had tears in her eyes. I could feel them spilling over.
"Oh. Lissa. I wanted to so many times. Every time I tried to tell you things got in the way. You were missing those two years and then when you came back. I wanted to make sure you would be a good person for my daughter to be around. It just got harder the longer I waited." She was crying now to. Lissa got up and sat next to her. Pulling her into a hug.
"I understand." Was all she said. They were quite for a while. No one was saying anything. They made some small talk and Emily agreed to tell Jill everything when she got home. Now they were just waiting. I was in and out of her head for five hours before Jill got home. She was so excited to see everyone. Adrian I could tell was holding back from calling her jailbait in front of her mom but he almost slipped up a few times. Emily sat her down and began to tell her everything.

"When I was 18 I feel in love with a man I could never truly have. We had a wonderful friendship and one night well you know what happened. I became pregnant with you. He couldn't be around and I knew that. I didn't push him either, but he did make sure we were taken care of. I know you have asked about her every so often and I never told you but well you need to know…" She paused pulling Jill's hands into hers. Jill looked so confused. I knew what she was thinking. Why would my mother tell me all this in front of everyone? Well she was about to find out. "Jill honey. Lissa is your half sister." She said looking down. I felt so sorry for her. She seemed so ashamed. Jill looked back and forth between Lissa and her mom. She didn't say anything. She stood up and walked out of the room.
"I'm sorry I will go talk to her." Emily said. Lissa shook her head and got up.
"No I will." Emily sat back down looking to the hall way entrance as Lissa made her way down it towards Jill's room.

It was like any other teen girls room. It was purple and there were posters on the wall. I noticed a picture next to her bed in a glitter frame. It was of all of us. My mom toke it at my party for her. We all looked so happy. What changed? I guess having to grow up isn't as fun as I thought it would be. Lissa picked up the picture.

"Did you know this whole time?" Jill asked looking up at her from her bed. She was hugging a big fluffy blue pillow to her.
"I just found out."

"Are you mad?"
"I was at first. Only because I had this image of whom I thought my dad was. I guess we don't know everything about our parents." Jill nodded staring out in front of her.
"You don't have to tell anyone. I will understand." Lissa sat down next to her.

"Why would I do that? I'm happy to have family. Unless you don't want me?" Fear toke over Lissa.

What if she doesn't want me?

Don't worry. I said
"What? Why wouldn't I. Your great."
"thanks." Lissa said pausing. "I wanted to ask you something. We would have to ask your mom to if you wanted to." Jill nodded and waited for Lissa to speak again. "How would you feel about moving to court with me? I will get you a privet teacher and you can learn how everything there works."
"Really?" Jill shrieked jumping off the bed and beaming at Lissa. She pulled her into a hug.
"I would love to!" She screamed again. Jill grabbed Lissa's arm pulling her back out into the living room were everyone waited and asked her mom if she could go with Lissa. Emily seemed hesitant and Jill started begging her. She finally gave in.

"Can I go with you now?" Jill asked excited.
"No spend the rest of your summer with your mom. I have to get everything set up for you still." Lissa started mentally making a list of everything that would have to be done before Jill came to court. I slipped back into my own head and let them talk some more. I let myself fall asleep.

I woke to Lissa's phone going off. I was still alone in the back seat of the car. I looked at the caller ID and it was Abe. I decided there was no reason for me to be running anymore. So I answered it.
"Hello?" I said shyly afraid of what was coming when my dad heard me.
"Rosemarie Hathaway! Where are you and what do you think you are doing?"

"I'm sorry dad. I had to help Lissa."

"Rosemarie! Don't lie to me. I know there is another reason for you to take off like that. Adrian and I had everything with Lissa under control."
"Really then how come it toke you weeks and I got it done in days."

"Don't sass me. Where are you?"
"Dad is he with you?"

"Don't change the subject."

"Please just tell me is he with you?"

"Yes."

"Then I'm not telling you were I am." I said and hung up the phone.

Dimitri POV

I sat there in the passenger seat as Abe tried Lissa's phone for the hundredth time.

"Rosemarie Hathaway! Where are you and what do you think you are doing?" he yelled. I sat up trying to hear what she was saying. I couldn't make it out thought.

"Rosemarie! Don't lie to me. I know there is another reason for you to take off like that. Adrian and I had everything with Lissa under control." He yelled again.
"Don't sass me. Where are you?" He asked. I shrugged trying to get a little closer to hear. Nothing.

"Don't change the subject." He said and then I heard it.

"Please just tell me is he with you?" She pleaded.

"Yes." He said looking over at me.

"Then I'm not telling you were I am." She answered back and then nothing. He shut his phone.

"What did you do to my daughter?" He said. I looked at him sizing him up. Zemy wasn't the type of man you wanted to mess with. I didn't even want to.

"She knows how I feel. She just doesn't like it. I can't help that." I said telling him with out really telling him the full story. She hates me. She loved me so much and I pushed and pushed and now she is willing to put her self in danger just to get away from me. Abe shook his head and started making some more calls. I pushed myself away from him resting my head on the window.

Three days have past and Rose still won't tell Abe where she is. He was keeping something from me I could tell. I decided to finally confront him about it.
"Abe what is it your not telling me?"

He looked at me and cocked and eyebrow. God is that what I looked like when I did that no wonder Rose always looks annoyed when I do it to her.

"Come on Zemy I know you know something and you're not telling me."

"Fine Fine." He closed the windows and looked around.

"I think I found out who really killed the queen."
