Hey all! I have decided that Monday is going to be Remembering Roza update day. I think that is going to work out the best. And I really hope you like this chapter. I worked hard on it. :D Talk to you all soon!
Disclaimer: I own everyone in this chapter except Adrian.
AJ's POV:
I slid the dress on over my head and turned to look in the mirror. All of the sudden panic surged through me. I started screaming and ripping at my wedding dress until it was at shreds at my feet. I collapsed to the ground heaving. This wasn't good. When I looked in the mirror, I still saw... him. There was a knock at my door. "Alissa? Is everything okay in there?"
I took a deep breath. "Yeah dad."
"Mommy made a mess!" My innocent 5 year old screamed to him.
I looked up at Nat with a smile. "Thanks honey."
The door opened and my father sighed at the sight. "What happened this time?"
"I saw him. He was standing right there. Mocking me."
"You know he can't hurt you anymore..."
"I know that, but it just went on for so long, in my mind he is everywhere."
My dad sighed and ran a hand over his face. "Okay, let's try the next dress. I'll be right here the entire time." I started to reach for a dress and he stopped me. "Let's go with the $500 one, not the $5000 one."
I gave my father a smile and started to reach for the dress when I froze. "Dad?"
"Yeah?"
"I just had a brilliant idea."
"Another one?"
I looked at him and bared my fangs. "Are you mocking me?"
"Not at all." He pointed a finger at me. "Put those things away young lady."
"Yes, dad." I sighed and closed my mouth.
"Now, what were you saying about an idea?"
"What if I wear a suit?"
"Like a tuxedo?"
"Yes, I mean, this is Roza's special day and the dresses don't seem to be working out for me anyway..."
"Okay, let me talk to my tailor and I will get back to you."
I smiled at him. "Thanks dad."
Roza's POV:
I looked in the mirror and smiled at my dress. It looked amazing. I turned to look at some of my Moroi friends that were shopping with me. "What do you think?"
"I don't even get why you are dress shopping..."
"What do you mean?"
"The council hasn't given it's approval..."
"They haven't given their approval YET, but they will. I know it."
"I don't even know why you want to marry her... What can't you be normal and marry a Moroi?"
"King Adrian married a Dhampir..."
"Or a Dhampir for that matter. Why are you marrying a Strigoi?"
"You all have met Alli, she isn't like the normal Strigoi from books..."
"But she still is one, right?"
I shook my head and looked back in the mirror. I thought I looked great. "I love her..."
"What about that Nicolai Ivashkov? He is cute AND you have a kid with him..."
"And he is in prison for attempted murder."
"Of a Strigoi!"
"Of my best friend."
"Roza, can you just be normal for once?"
I took a deep breath. "Look, without Alli in my life, I will literally go insane. I don't think any of us want that."
My friend Tessa sighed. "Do what you want Roza, just think of your future..."
I gave her a smile. "I have." I looked at the woman that was helping us. "I'll take this one."
Well, what did you think? I think the next chapter is going to be the vote. See you all then!
Please review! Thanks!
