A/N: Hope everyone's good. Thank you all for the reviews. Before you read; I understand that a lot of people are getting confused with Dimitri and probably want Rose to kill him by now but patience is rewarded. This chapter will explain a little bit of the story but everything will come out in the next chapter. On with the story, I really appreciate all your reviews. Thank you honestly all of you.

Once I was settled in a hotel in Spokane I went to Lissa. She was still sleeping but a loud banging woke her up. She realised it was coming from outside her door. Someone was knocking – or should I say breaking it down, by how hard they were knocking on the door.

"Coming," Lissa yelled as she got up and but her robe on. She opened the door and there was Dimitri and I swear he had tears on his cheek.

"She's gone because of you and your husband! She left to make sure you're happy but did you ever think of her happiness. Huh, Lissa did you?" He was so upset. I've never seen him like this before. He was frantic for any information and was willing to blame anyone but himself.

"What? Rose is gone. You know it's not just my fault she's gone. She left because you left her for Tasha without a goodbye! You broke her heart! Did you ever consider that Dimitri? You're ready to blame anyone but yourself." Lissa was angry. I tried to pull away some of the darkness. She calmed own a bit.

"Me. How's this fault?" He asked Lissa trying to figure out the situation.

"She still loved you when you left. She still wanted you. She probably wants you know but she doesn't want anyone to think badly of her. She cared about you so much and you ruined her. When you left all she would was cry and cry. She cried herself to sleep most nights and even though she doesn't admit it she had nightmares so painful they made her cry at night." With every word that Lissa spoke Dimitri's faced registered pain. I've never seen him so hurt.

"I didn't know any of that. No wonder she said that she wouldn't do anything with me after I hurt her. I understand now."

"What do you want to do? Do you want Rose or Tasha? I mean you can't exactly leave your pregnant – I might emphasise – girlfriend for Rose."

"It's not my child." He said matter of factly.

"What do you mean 'it's not yours'? If it's not yours then whose is it?"

"I honestly don't know but I do know that it's not mine. No matter what she says,"

"Bad girl. It's not nice to snoop or eavesdrop." Someone said. I was suddenly pushed out of Lissa's head.

"Hey!" I said to myself but mainly to that voice. It didn't come from Dimitri or Lissa. So who did it come from?"

My phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID. It said; Dimitri calling. I rejected the call. I wasn't in the mood to talk to him even though he probably needs someone to talk to. I soon got a text message from Dimitri. I wasn't sure whether I should open it but I was suddenly concerned for Lissa I was pushed out of her head. I remember when I was pushed out of Lissa's head a couple of years ago. It was by a spirit user which means there's a spirit user at the Court. I was now truly concerned for Lissa. They could be using compulsion on her. I opened Dimitri's message

Rose, please call me. I'm concerned about you. Are you okay? Where are you?

I hated him for everything that was happening I didn't want to talk to him so I replied to his message.

I'm fine. Doesn't' matter where I am but you need to look after her; there is another spirit user at the court. Don't ask how I know just look after her. Please you promised. I sent that and decided to figure out what I was going to do. Now I have to go back to the Court to look after Lissa. I left the hotel and moved to a place closer to the Court. I know I shouldn't have but I need to look after Lissa. She's my charge and even though I left it doesn't mean I can't take care of her.

About three hours later I was in a hotel about half an hour away from the court. I tried to get into Lissa's head but I was block and it wasn't by her. How could she not see it in the aura? How could Adrian miss it? The thought of Adrian brought tears to my eyes. I didn't say goodbye to him or to anyone for that fact. I was upset that I couldn't keep an eye on her. I decide to call her. It ringed and ringed but no one picked up. I was starting to worry. I waited a couple of minutes and I called Lissa again. This time my call was rejected. What the hell is going on? I thought. I called Adrian and the same thing happened. I even tried Dimitri and his phone was switched off. God only knows why. Were they avoiding me? Do they hate me? I thought. I was getting concerned. I caught a taxi that went to the court.

I decided to sneak into the Court. I went to the back entrance. There was a whole under the fence that no one ever walked passed. I went underneath and ran to Lissa's room as conspicuously as possible. I went to her room and knocked on the door. No one answered. I was getting really worried. I went to my room and no one was there. I sat behind the door and went to Lissa. She was in Tasha's room next door. Dimitri, Adrian, Eddie, Lissa and Christian were all tied up. Eddie was unconscious and there was a lump forming on the side of his head. He had obviously been hit. I left her head. God what do I do? This has something to do with Tasha. Why would she tie up Dimitri?

I got my stake and opened my door. I went as far back as I could to get a better starting place to run. I started running and a couple of feet away from the door I raised my leg so it would smash the door. I hit it and it hurt so much. The door opened slightly and I used my shoulder to push it open some more. Everyone snapped their heads to me. I looked around the room and Victor Dashkov was standing next to Natasha and the novice Samantha was also standing next to Victor.

"What's going on here?"

"Ah, Rose we were waiting for you to show up. Where have you been?"

"Shut up Victor! Why are my friends being held captive?"

"Because we needed you to show up and obviously this is the only way and of course you always jump into the situation unprepared. I see you haven't changed." He seemed so calm I just wanted to through him out the window.

"Neither have you."

"Touché,"

"Let them go."

"Oh okay." He whispered something to Samantha. She was under compulsion but by whom. Samantha went over to Lissa and grabbed her chair. She took it over to the opened window. "Are you sure you want her to let go."

"No! No, no, no. Please don't. What do you want?" They put Lissa down and she started to cry.

"We don't want you. We want Dimitri to turn and we want Lissa to cure me."

"No! No way! You can go to hell!" I yelled at him.

He laughed. "Ah, Rose still the same."
"Shut up! Do you ever shut up? How did you even get into the Court?"

"Compulsion. How did you get in again, I might say."

"The old fashioned way," I swear when this is over I'm going to get him back into jail and this time he'll stay there forever.

"Not a surprise there. What do you want?"

"I want my friends out of here unscathed," I turned to Tasha, "Natasha why are you letting him do this?"

"Because you still love him. You shouldn't love him. He left you. He never loved you. I made him happy. I'm carrying his child." It hurt me to hear those words but I shoved the pain into the back of my head and focused at the situation at hand.

"That still doesn't explain why you're letting him do this. If he is the father of your child – if there is a child I might say – why are you letting him have him tied up?"

"Because he needs to be turned," she said with no emotion.

"By who! Why!" I yelled at her.

"By me and because he must stay with me forever. He is my true love." I was shocked to hear that.

"Wait. What! You're a Strigoi."

"Finally, someone notices." She seemed so calm and naïve given the situation.

"Then you're not pregnant. You lying bitch." I realised that it wasn't possible for her to be using compulsion on me. I wonder who it is then. "Then who's been using compulsion on everyone." I said speaking my thoughts

"Me." Someone said coming out of the darkness of the room. I turned and saw Robert Dashkov – Victor's brother.

A/N: I know I shouldn't do the cliff-hangers but I'm figuring out what's going to happen. What do you guys want to see happen. I'm open to suggestions and alternatives. Let me know. Don't forget to review and have a good day. Next chapter should be up soon. Don't know when. Love you. See ya.
