Hey, guys! We're back! Sorry we've been gone so long! Thanks for all of your reviews XD I know it's impossible to hate May isn't it? That's because she's Moni's creation! Speaking of, you can all thank her for this chapter!

Obviously, we don't own VA.

Amor Prohibido.

Chapter 8.

May's POV.

I took the ice-cream from Dimitri with a smile. As I took my first bite, I moaned in complete bliss. I couldn't help it. It had been way too long, hell I could hardly remember the last time I'd had ice-cream. Had it always been this good?

"Oh my God, this is pure heaven in a bowl." I said grinning at Dimitri. He smiled, laughing at my face and I blushed deeply unable to help myself.

"Sorry haven't had any in years." I said by way of explanation and looked down.

"It's fine," He said, the smile never leaving his face. "I'll be right back I've got to go to work. I'll get you a room but for tonight you can sleep in here." I nodded and finished my ice cream.

As he left I crawled into his bed, falling asleep almost instantly. I shifted as I dreamt, a dream I knew would've given me nightmares ever since it happened if strigoi were able to dream. I suppose it was a blessing that they could not. It was the one about when I was turned into that horrid creature.

It was a dark night, not the kind of night where young girls like myself should be out and about, but my father needed some things to make a medicine for my mom. I went through the forest and looked around for the herbs I needed when I heard something crack in the distance.

"Hello?" I asked and god how stupid could I be? If someone really was after me did I really think they would answer?

My body tensed up, instincts telling me to run, but I took a breath and reigned them in. I was being paranoid. This was the forest. It was probably just some poor animal more afraid of me than I should have been of it.

Besides, I wanted my mother to get well. She'd been sick for too long, gradually getting worse, and I feared what would happen if we didn't do something. As it turned out, I should've trusted my gut, listened to those instincts that had been trying to warn me, because that's when he appeared and smiled. His smile was beautiful with an under layer of coldness, but that beauty somehow diminished the iciness of it.

"What is a beautiful lady like you doing out here alone?" I blushed and started to walk off ignoring him even though there was something in his voice that wanted me to stop. He was in front of me in a flash, however, towering over me and making me want to cringe.

"Where do you think you're going?!" He snapped and were his eyes red? No, no it couldn't be, right? Right? Soon it didn't matter because he bit into my neck and I was filled with euphoria unlike anything I had ever felt before.

I didn't care that a strigoi had just bitten into my neck and was now drinking my blood nor did it register that I could die or worse. My thoughts went cloudy and when he stopped I heard myself whine. He chuckled before tipping my head back slightly. I felt a liquid be tipped into my mouth and no more, because things blacked out for me after that.

I snapped awake panting heavily and soon those pants turned into sobs. I curled into a ball rocking back and forth, the memory of when I'd finally woken up now crashing through my mind, not that there was much to remember but an unyielding thirst unlike anything I'd ever felt in my life .Elijah was the man who took my life away from me and I knew he was still out there somewhere. Not for long, I told myself. Not if I had anything to say about it. Elijah's days as a top ranking strigoi were numbered, and the count down had just begun.

Rose POV

I knew I was being childish but it was for his own good, or so I thought I didn't know just ughhh fuck it allllll. I threw myself on my bed and lay down looking up at the ceiling when I heard knocking at my door. I groaned and closed my eyes. Maybe they'd go away.

Of course, luck was never on my side. The knock came again. I groaned, because I knew exactly who was on the other side of that door. I could feel her worry and it was making me edgy. I could also feel her determination and knew she wasn't going anywhere. Not that it changed my mind on letting her in.

"Go away," I snapped. "No company needed. Let me sulk in silence." Lissa walked in like she owned the place completely ignoring me. She rolled her eyes and sat on my bed. Jesus. Didn't anyone ever listen to me?

"Well that's not gonna work with me so try again." She said. I threw my pillow at her trying to catch her off guard, but she surprised me when she caught it throwing it back and hitting me in the face. Great, even the usually non-violent moroi princess was kicking my ass today.

"Stop sulking." She said as she pouted. "Please for meeeee?" I rolled my eyes.

"For ten minutes maybe." I said because it was impossible to deny Vasilisa Dragomir anything. She gave me a disapproving look and I groaned.

"You look tired go to sleep." She said sending calming waves through the bond. Shaking my head, I tried to fight them off but it was so damn hard. Probably because she was right, a voice in the back of my mind said. So even though I knew I was going to lecture her about using her magic for things like helping me go to sleep tomorrow, I just gave in and let her soothe me to sleep, thinking that I was also going to have to apologize to Dimitri tomorrow, too.

Thoughts, guys? Seems like May's got a new life mission. Anyone thinks she'll succeed? And what about Rose and Dimitri? Will he accept Rose's apology?

Only one way to know, stay tuned and don't forget to review!
