Omg, I have no exscuse for being so late and I am so sorry. I just was on Youtube and I discoved these really cute guys named Jack and Finn and I never knew they existed! So I watching them and then I found Dan and Phil so I was watching them too...so now I'm slightly obsessed with them all at the moment, so I had to draw them but so far I only drew Dan... I haven't done anything with the story...I feel like a failure...I'm sorry. (This is all just one big exscuse, which I said I didnt have..) But please enjoy this chapter and if I dont update later on..

Happy Holidays!

Any other time I would have some witty quip or some smart ass comment on how Dimitri got here, but at this moment I was speechless. I, Rose Hawthorn, royal princess and hardcore badass was speechless. Leo looked from Dimitri and then back at me. Dimitri never looked at Leo; he kept his eyes straight at me, secretly asking, 'What just happened?'I wished I could tell him what happened, but I truly had no clue. I may control spirit too, but I barely use it. I never had the need to, but maybe after Leo is done with us, I may get the chance to.

Leo opened his mouth, like he was about to speak, but then closed it. He then proceeded to walk out of the room leaving Dimitri and I alone. Before I could get the moment to speak Dimitri got off the floor and ran over and enveloped me in a hug. I did nothing but hug him back absorbing the warmth radiating off of his body. He nuzzled his face into my dark hair, whispering little things in Russian in my ear. I could smell the musky scent from the forest that came off of him in great waves. He came from the spirit dream; I never got to say goodbye to him before I left to see Marisol and the others, but now he's here, which also means that Leo kept his word about letting Adrian and everyone go unharmed.

Dimitri was still whispering words in Russian. I had no idea what he was saying but I didn't care. He pressed me closer to him, now starting to whisper things in English.
"Roza, thank god you here. I don't know what I would do if I lost you, I don't know how I even got here but I don't care, I'm just so glad that I'm with you." His Russian accent was stronger now, making it difficult to understand him but it sounded like he was on the verge of breaking down any moment.

"Comrade, it's fine, I'm fine." Which was a bold-face lie. Leo could decide to kill me or Dimitri or the both of us now that he came along. "Leo hasn't done anything to me."

He removed his face from my hair and put the palms of his hands against my face. They were so warm, so soft, like I could fall asleep looking into his eyes. But now wasn't the time to think about how attractive he was; besides friends don't have feelings like that toward one another. 'Are we even friends? I don't even know what's going on between us.'

Dimitri started to speak, breaking me out of my own thoughts. "Rose, we have to think of a way out." He whispered.

I placed my hands upon his, taking them from my face and putting them on my lap. "I know, I know, I've been working on that. But I at least have to figure out where I am so I know how far we from Nice." 'Who knows where we are? Hell, we could be in a different country for all I know. I could have been out for hours when Leo bit me.' I didn't tell him that, but I sure did think about it.

Dimitri removed one hand from mine and ran I thought his dark brown hair that was out this time, falling to his shoulders. His brown eyes widened in realization and he took his hand and pulled out his phone. He looked at the top of the screen and noticed that there was only 20% left.

"We have two options. We either call someone and hopefully they can track the call or we can use the GPS on here to see where we are. I not sure if I'm going to have enough battery life for both."

"I think our best bet would to use the GPS, who knows how long someone would take to get here, wherever we are. I don't want to stay here like sitting ducks waiting to be rescued."

Dimitri smiled a bit and then looked back at his phone, unlocked it and went to the GPS. A voice came out of the phone and spoke. "Your current location is Paris, France."

I didn't know how to feel at that moment. I was happy, almost ecstatic that I was still in France but at the same time I could feel the worry and shock grab me from the inside.

"Were not that far from Nice, so we could probably make it." Dimitri said. His voice was distant, sounding somewhat like a whisper.

"No, no, no…We are miles away from Nice, Comrade."

He looked back down at his phone, typed in a few things and looked back at me. "579 miles if you want to get technical."

I ran my fingers though my hair, thinking hard about how the fuck we can get out of here. "Dimitri."

"Yes?"

"How much battery life do you have left?"

Looking back at the phone he answered, "10%. You want me to call?"

I shook my head yes and he dialed a number. "Lissa? Yes its Dimitri, I found Rose. I'm with her right now. I don't know how I got here and neither does she." He looked back at me to make sure I truly didn't know anything. And I really didn't.

"Did Adrian tell you what happened? No? What wrong with him?" Dimitri looked at me with a somewhat nervous expression. He then proceeded to had me the phone. "She wants to talk to you."

"Liss? What happened to Adrian?"

"I don't know! He was in the spirit dream with Dimitri and you, but when he woke up he was clammy and shaking and his eyes were dilated. He kept murmuring words but I could never understand what he was saying."

The worry and fear gripped me once again. "How is he now?"

"He's ok now, he's sleeping. He also seemed to cool off a bit. I tried to heal him but that didn't help either. Could it be the darkness taking over?"

"No! It's not that, it can't be that." I looked at the phone for a second. 5%. "Lissa! I need you to track this call, I don't care how you do it, but you need to do it and you need to do it now before the call drops."

"But I don't know how to do any of that, you're the one that smart with computers."

"Go into my office. There should be a docking station for your phone next to my computer. Put it on there and then there should be three options that come up on the screen."

Lissa pauses for a moment, probably doing everything I just told her to and then continued to talk. "Go on."

"What are the options?"

"Transfer photos, open files and…track current call. Only you would have this on your computer, Rose." She remarked.

I chuckled to myself and continued to instruct Lissa. "Click it now before my battery dies."

She did as told and I waited until I heard something. I looked at the phone again. 2%. "Liss anything?" I asked getting nervous.

"You're in Paris?!" She shouted.

"Yeah, we are, you need to get direct directions to get here, bring anyone that could help, because Leo has a few friends over at his place."

"He brought you to his house?"

"Yeah, but Lissa I need you to get those directions, now!" I looked back at the phone. 1%.

"Alright I got—" She was cut off.

I looked back at the phone. The screen was blank, dark and dead. I removed my sight from the phone and looked at Dimitri. I held out the phone and gave it to him. "I think she may have found us but then again she was cut off so I don't know what she found."

"Well, until we have a way to find out, we can't stay here like sitting ducks." He said as he started pacing.

Just then I remembered that Dimitri and I are alike in that way, we can't sit still. We have to be doing something productive when we know we have some chance in doing so. I also knew he was right. We can't sit here and wait to see if Lissa comes and now that I think about it, I shouldn't have called her. Calling her, puts her in danger and it anything happened to her it would truly be my fault. I had to think of another way of talking to her or maybe find a way out before she can get any close to Paris.

Before I could think anymore, Leo comes in with 2 others. They were Strigoi this time and not some of his Daywalker friends. "Take him then do what you want, I only need the princess and not added attractions." He said as he waved a hand in Dimitri's direction.

They came over and grabbed him by him by his arms but he resisted. I ran over to try and help him but Leo quickly grabbed me by my waist and pulled me toward him so that my back was to his chest. "Rose, its best that you don't interfere."

"Interfere my ass." I growled. I then elbowed him in the face.

He let me go to cover his face. He pulled his hand back and found blood spilling from his nose. Leo looked back at me a bared his fangs. "I forgot how much of a bitch you can be when you're not unconscious."

I figured I should mess with him a bit before I kicked his ass. "Shame on you, Leo. You shouldn't forget important things like that."

He lunged at me, hands looking like claws now. He pressed me up against the wall in his room and everything blurred for a moment. Leo had my body lifted from the floor so my feet were no longer touching the ground. I had no idea how Dimitri was doing nor could I tell what was going on now. All I could feel were Leo's hands around my neck, slowly suffocating me, ridding me of whatever air that was left in my body. My vision was becoming blurry again and the air was already gone. Suddenly, hands were gone and there was a grunt followed by a strangled cry. I dropped to the floor, air filling up my lungs as a coughed and chocked on whatever the hell wanted to come out my body.

I looked to the side through my watery eyes and saw that Dimitri had taken out the other distractions and was now dealing with Leo. I couldn't tell who was winning, both men were evenly matched and landing punch after punch. My eyesight was going again, leaving me with a blurred out version of the fight in front of me. I heard a loud crash and someone yell then fall.

"Rose!" I felt a hand on my arm and someone grab me. I was startled at first but quickly relaxed as I felt the calloused hand grab a bit harder. "Rose let's go!"

It was Dimitri. He was trying to get me up, but I couldn't see shit and I had no clue why. "I can't see anything!" It was like being in a daze but without the dreamy feeling.

The next thing I know is that I'm being swiped off my feet. I instantly rap my arms around his neck, steadying myself just a bit till my eyes got better and closed them. I couldn't see shit, but I could feel us moving, quick and swift, along with a light breeze from Dimitri running. I could hear his heartbeat, strong and steady, fast and loud. I smelt the light sweat that was probably forming on his body along with a small scent of blood.

'Blood…'That's all our life really consisted of. Being a dhampir you had to fight. Blood. Being around Moroi and them having feeders and sometime blood whores also consisted of a life with blood. And now I'm a full vampire again. The need and desire for blood always lingers in the back of my head like an itch you can't get rid of. The smell of blood hit me a lot stronger now than when I was a dhampir and I could clearly smell it on Dimitri. I opened my eyes and saw that my eyes were a lot better and I could see a lot clearer. I then looked at Dimitri and noticed the gash on his forehead that was partly covered by that hair that was escaping the holder at the nape of his neck.

"Dimitri, if you haven't noticed, you a have a gash on your forehead."

"I think I have already noticed the pain on my forehead and the blood flowing on the side."

I looked out to where we were. He had taken me to some part of the house I had never been in before. Or so I assumed, because everything was dark. My eyesight maybe better and then improved by being a Half-Blood but that didn't mean I was a cat.

"Can you see any better than before?" Dimitri whispered.

"Actually, yeah I can. Considering that we're in the dark and all." I smiled to myself.

Dimitri moved away from me and slid his hand against the wall swiftly, probably looking for a light switch. He must have found it because with a flick of the switch the room was quickly illuminated and I was in front of three black cars all that were mostly likely over two hundred thousand dollars each.

"How did you know where the garage is?" I had only been here for a few hours and I hadn't even explored the whole house yet.

"Lucky guess." He smiled and looked around the room. "And it looks like they weren't smart enough to hide their keys."

I looked in the direction that his eyes were going to and saw that the keys to the cars were hung up on hooks, one for each pair of keys. "How convenient. You'd think that Daywalkers and Strigoi were smarter than this."

Then a voice stopped us. "Where's that little bitch and her Neanderthal?!"

"Neanderthal?" Dimitri said looking somewhat offended.

"Dimitri? That voice was close; we need to get going now."

He didn't say anything else and then grabbed one of the keys off its hook. He pressed a button and one of the black cars made a beeping sound. "Our new car."

"I think I heard something! It sounded like a car!"

"They're using the car to get out! Hurry the fuck up and get them, I need the Hawthorn Princess!"

It was Leo with maybe who knows how many others and they were coming after us.

"Get in Rose."

I did as told and did it quickly. It was the third car down, closer to Dimitri. I slid into the nice white leather seats that were lined with red. I look at the steering wheel and notice that there was a little symbol in the center of it that read Maserati. It wasn't new but it was still kept in good condition. Dimitri got in on the driver's side and put the key in the ignition. The car came to life and the gray garage door opened. Three enraged vampires were in the opening and Leo was the first I noticed with his once blue eyes now that dark, pitch black I saw before. "Rose." His voice was deep and obviously not happy. "Get back here now."

"Dimitri. Get out now."

He looked back, the garage door closed. "Ебать ее" he said. It probably wasn't nice but I didn't have time to figure out what he said. But I did figure out what his next idea was. He looked back and pressed on the gas, making us ram right through the garage door. The looks on their pale faces, I'd have to admit, we priceless. Once they woke up they got into the other cars and started up the engine. We raced down the driveway with two other cars right behind us, filled with evil vampires out to get us. Nothing new.
