Please, review. This chapter took me a while and I wasn't entirely sure about it, so I kinda need you guys to help me with that.

Did you like it? Was it good? Crappy?

Remember, I appreciate compliments as well as criticism. =) Thanks guys, enjoy!

I'd been running for hours, I wasn't sure where I was going but I knew that I had to get as far away from that place as physically possible, then I'd worry about figuring out where I was and what I would do next.

I started to slow down, as I looked up into the night sky. By the location of the moon, I could tell that I still had a few more hours of moonlight left. I needed to find a place to spend the day. I let out a small sigh; I knew I would miss the sun. Even though I barely saw much of it as a dhampir, the knowledge that I would never be able to step into the sunlight again was tough. But that was the least of my worries. Right now finding her was my one and only concern.

I had no money so a hotel room or an actual bed was out of the question. I'd have to find some dark, secluded place to hide away till the sun went down. I quickened my pace again and scanned the area as I ran, this forest seemed familiar but then again, don't they all?

I found my way back to the caves…the same ones I had been awakened in, where I had last seen her. I hadn't noticed that it was only miles from where I had been held hostage… but when the sun came up they wouldn't be able to search here. I was safe for now and even with the slight chance that they did find me, I was loose and no longer helpless. Even without a weapon I still had a chance.

I stood in the same place I had last seen her…where I had last heard her scream. I sank to my knees and curled up in that spot, remembering her face; the night of Victor's lust charm, the first time I held her close to me, the first time I had laid eyes on her, the night I pulled Zeklos off of her in the room, that was when I first realized how strongly I felt about her. I allowed my memories of her to fully engulf me, as I lay there slowly drifting into a light slumber.

I was in a garden, the sun beamed down illuminating the flowers. That's when I realized I was dreaming. That or I was dead, considering the sun didn't seem to harm me.

"Dimitri… " I flinched a little at the sound of her voice. You'd figure I'd be used to seeing her in my dreams by now. Yep, it was definitely a dream.

I turned around to see her sitting on a bench in the middle of the garden. She wore a long white dress and for a second she could easily be mistaken for an angel. It wouldn't even surprise me if I was dead at this point, though I knew I wasn't. I sighed, this could be heaven, it was definitely beautiful enough to be and she fit right in to her surroundings. My beautiful Roza…

I blinked back a few tears as I slowly approached her. She stood and closed the distance between us. We held each other in a tight embrace before she let go and stared into my eyes…the pain I saw in her features was heart breaking. I knew what she was seeing now…she was seeing a monster. She saw my red rimmed eyes, and possibly saw the thirst that was building up inside them again.

"Dimitri…" she repeated again, this time her voice was a whisper as she broke down into tears. I couldn't hold back my tears any longer. They flowed down my cheeks and I held her again.

"Oh Roza!" she clung to me as I held back a sob.

"I've missed you so much…Dimitri, I don't know what I'm going to do!" she cried into my chest.

"It's ok, honey…I'm here, I'm here right now…I'm looking for you."

She glanced back up into my eyes. "Dimitri…I-I'm going to have your baby…I need to…I need to find you…before it's to late…I need to kill you!" she gasped in between sobs.

I pulled her back into my chest, she was shaking now. I hated to see her like this… so broken…I had done that. That's when something clicked, what she had just said…she was going to have my baby!

"Rose…" I jumped at the voice, and Rose looked back.

"Adrian?" she asked, she was almost as shocked as I was by his appearance.

I knew he was a dream walker, but he had never invaded my dreams before. It was probably just a coincidence, he wouldn't enter one of my dreams…especially now. No this was defiantly just further proof that these were not real…anything can happen in dreams.

Adrian seemed shocked himself.

"How are you in her dreams?" he demanded.

I stepped back. What? What was he saying?

"I'm not in her dream, she's in mine…and so are you." I cleared up.

He shook his head. "You're not just another dream object…your aura, its- you're real."

"W-what?" that was all I could say. This wasn't happening.

He glanced back at Rose who was now gawking at him.

"What do you mean he's real? This is just a dream, like all the others. It's not happening." She glanced back and forth between the two of us.

"You mean he's been here before?" asked Adrian, without taking his eyes off of me.

Rose nodded. "I've been dreaming about him since…then."

I shivered, "She…she's been in my dreams since then too." I was now staring at Adrian as though he held all of the answers in the world. I needed to know what was happening.

He bit his lip in thought. "Hmm, interesting…."

That's when something inside my head, clicked. If this was real, I needed to warn her.

"Ivashkov, I need you to do me a favor." He stared into my eyes suspiciously.

When he didn't answer, I took that as a sign to continue.

"Prove this to me, come to me in my dreams tomorrow… I need proof that this is real."

He stared for a few seconds, thinking it over. Finally he nodded.

I glanced back towards her. I saw confusion mixed with pain in her eyes; she didn't know whether to hug me or to stab me.

"If this is real…Roza, I need to tell you something." I paused, replaying the words in my head before continuing. "I still love you… I need to keep you safe. You have to return to the Academy, they're after you… they want to use you to get to Lissa. They were originally using me to lure you to them…he knows your after me. But I escaped…I don't know if their still after you, but Lissa's the one they really want. You need to go back to her Rose…you need to stay safe."

I glanced towards her stomach…she was no longer the only person I needed to worry about.

"Dimitri…I"

My eyes snapped open, I was no longer in the garden, I was back in the caves now.

It was night now, I had overslept. I silently cursed myself for not waking on time. I wasn't sure the time, but I knew I had to move fast. They could have easily tracked me here. I got up, and felt a little dizzy.

I needed blood…
