Rose

it was a whole minute before he spoke "how much?" he said quietly

"well they didn't give me a number and I was also refusing to listen to them..."

"Rosemarie, how much?" he said cutting me off louder and a bit angrier.

"at least around 150... million" I said

"WHAT! Are you crazy! th...that's... that's a lot of money!" he shouted and stood up and started pacing as I talked

"Dimitri I did try to stop them, then I decided not to say anything till I talked to you. will you think about it first?"

"Rose I am thinking, I'm thinking that its way to much to accept I mean if it was a few thousand dollars maybe, but rose this is MILLIONS! I...I...I cant even..." he trailed off. my special phone rang just then I was going to ignore it but It wouldn't help anything.

"hello?"

"well first he shouldn't be screaming, second put me on speaker so I can talk to the both of you" And'drex ordered I did

"here" I said placing it on the table

"Dimitri, and Rose. you two should think bigger, beyond a house. it might be a lot of money if you were

just going to sit around, but your not. rose will be doing a lot of traveling to uncover the secrets of the two worlds. you two will blow through close to half of it on traveling, hotels, staying places, planes, as well as everyday life. I'm sure that you will run out by your 40s or so. and Dimitri, you also need to think security, what's safest for Rose, its going to be the most expensive thing but you can take care of all of it. Rose, Dimitri doesn't heal like you do. he is going to get hurt and he's going to be stubborn about being with you, no matter what happens you can make sure he is always 100% or taken care of, so stop yelling like the 2 of you have a choice in the matter." he said and hung up.

it was silent for a minute as Dimitri sat back down and began eating. we stayed silent for the rest of the meal, I stayed seated on the couch as Dimitri got in the shower. something hurt, I didn't know what it was but the pain was growing almost stifling. I almost wanted to cry but why? I wasn't really sad at all, 'because Dimitri is mad at us! its all my fault!' I felt thorn say, suddenly I was sad too on the verge of tears. 'I don't want to be here, he must hate us now! the silence is defaning' the tears spilled over lightly and I ran out of the room to be alone, it was getting light out but there were still plenty of people out. I ran up the stairs at full speed and broke onto the roof. 'what have we done!' Thorn sobbed and I crawled between a generator and the roof walls and sobbed.

Dimitri

I was still stunned by what Rose had told me, thinking of all that money almost made me sick. but rose's safety was high importance of me. I stepped in the shower still thinking, I figured that if my Roza could be safe from the Moroi and the strigoi I would pay any price. then I felt extremely bad for ignoring her and how rude it was, my mother raised me better than that. I got out of the shower to dry off and apologize, I put on some boxers and a tee shirt and went out into the living room "Roza I am terribly sorry..." I stopped where was she, her shoes were by the door and the door was slightly open. I started to panic, I didn't see her in the room!? gone! I threw on my shorts and tried to find her. she was crying! was she hurt, where was she, why wasn't she answering?! I ran to the stairs and all the way down searching for her, I searched all around for her yelling her name where was she!?

I had been searching for her for nearly two hours when I realized that it was day and I didn't have my phone, what if she had called me. I got a late cab to head back to the hotel, looking at the streets to see if I could see her. she was still so hurt, what happened Roza? were are you?

Rose

it had been awhile and I was aching from crouching in the dirt, I decided to go back to the room and clean off, he was probably sleep by now. the door was closed and my shoes were gone 'he doesnt want us hear, he took the shoes. he is furious' I began to tear up and went towards the shower 'hes gone, he's not even hear! he doesnt want to be hear!' I sobbed a bit as I got in the shower. when I got out of the shower I got ready for bed slowly trying not to cry again. I noticed the light was on out in the front room, I must have left it on. great job rose.

Dimitri

I got back and dropped her shoes by the door and checked to see if any one had called immediately, nothing. where was she! I decided to take her emergency phone and call the Strigoi to help me find her. I was about to dial the number when I heard a gasp behind me. Rose! red rimmed eyes and dressed in her pajamas, she turned her head to the side like she didn't want to be seen. I ran over to her and embraced her in a hug to just feel her in my arms, instead she screamed and I jumped back

"Roza, Roza what happened are you hurt? whats wrong?" I asked and her tears began to flow once again

"you were so mad at us, you didn't even want to talk to us! you hate us now don't you! we... were so sorry" she said, now I wasn't sure who It was.

"Roza no, I was never mad at you. I am incredibly sorry for how I acted, I should be the one who was sorry not you love not you, neither one of you." I said kneeling pulling her into a hug

"you weren't here when we got back, you took our shoes, didn't you..."

"no, no, I came out to apologize and you weren't there. I panicked, I grabbed you shoes and went searching for you when I felt you crying. I am so sorry, so, so, sorry, I was acting like a child and I hurt you." I said taking her to the couch still kneeling before her while she sat on the couch. she wrapped her arms around my neck and cried more, I moved to the couch so she would be more comfortable feeling horrible that I did this to them.
