We all sat there while Tasha ran towards us putting on a good show with all her tears. But the nicer side of me hoped there wasn't anything seriously wrong with her. I don't want to see someone hurt unless its a strigoi of course. But then again they aren't really a someone to me, or well Dimitri was. my brain was all over the place right now.

" What's wrong Aunt Tasha?"

Christian asked it was the first time I'd seen him concerned for her since we got here.

" Ethan left me! We went to visit his family and he took off and left. I loved him Christian and he left me."

Something wasn't right here I just knew it. But right now I couldn't put my finger on what it was. I looked at Abe he was thinking the same thing. Lissa and Adrian were studying her aura when Tasha threw herself in Lissa's arms. She soothed her but over the top of Tasha's head she shook her head. Confirming my suspicions. I knew something was off.

Dimitri, Abe, mom, and I excused ourselves to go find something that would prove her story false. I felt bad for leaving Dimitri's family sitting there but we have been waiting months for her to pull something and I believe this was the start of it. They of course knew how crazy she had been so stayed so it wouldn't alert her.

We had been looking at the files we'd dug up on Guardian Moore, he really was a straight edge guardian. Never been married, didn't have children. Tasha seemed to be his first real relationship. Maybe he really had run off! I mean one person can only handle so much crazy. Suddenly there was a shadow over me, I looked up to see Dimitri standing there holding out a single paper. I took it from him and looked at it. What i saw shocked me.

They were records on Guardian Moore's family, or in this case lack of.

"Guardian Racheal Moore and Lord Ion Badika were both killed by Strigoi. They managed to hide their small child, a male Ethan Moore. His grandmother Lady Lucia Badika now has taken custody of the child. There are no other siblings and no other living relatives on mothers side"

I read aloud.

Did she not say they were visiting his family? I looked at the grandmothers name. It was his first charge. She had groomed him to protect her I guess. And she was deceased.

OK so there was lie number one. What was she up to? I asked myself again for the millionth time. I looked at everyone they were trying to fit things together as well when there was a knock on the door. We shoved every thing in Abe and mom's room and Dimitri went to open the door. Queen Tatiana walked in first followed by everyone including Tasha.

But the look on Lissa's face made me jump right to her side.

" Liss what is it? What's wrong?"

She couldn't even answer me so much fear was coming through the bond I had to close it off.

" Someone tell me what's going on, NOW!"

I looked at everyone that had come in with her. No one said anything at first. I looked at Tatiana I knew she would tell me

" Earlier today Victor Dashkov escaped from Tarasov."

I jerked Lissa closer to me.

" What do you mean he escaped? And how?"

" It seems it was an inside job."

That's all she said. But it was all I needed. Tasha wanted revenge, she starts dating Ethan Moore who worked at Tarasov, they leave together and she comes back crying he left her with a family that doesn't exist.

And now some one that knew the inside of that place had more than likely busted the sickest and biggest disgrace of the Moroi out of there. But for what, Victor looked bad when we'd compelled the whereabouts of his brother from him. Well I guess if he could get to Robert he could heal him. Damn this is bad, really bad.

Tasha finally left to go to her room, she said she needed rest. I showed everyone what we had found. Adrian told us that even though she was crying on the outside she was ecstatic on the inside. We tried and tried to figure it out. But we couldn't pinpoint what her end game was. We were just going to have to wait until it happened and hope we were ready.

I know I said I would update every night, but I laid down with my 2 year old last night and fell asleep. So I got it up tonight hope you like it, don't forget to review. Until next time night all...
