Thanks for all the other reviews too for reviewing my chapters. Without you guys, I wouldn't have continued my story :) Anyway, ill stop talking now and let you read the darn chapter. =D)

I knelt down beside Adrian grasping his hand, scared that if I let go he would disappear. I suddenly had a headache. It was like the migraine on the plane, but without the blackness and all the images.

All of a sudden my vision went blank and I was pulled into a garden of some sort. It was the garden that Lissa had always loved when we were living in the human part of the world. I wondered what I was doing here, was I imagining it? Or was there another explanation?

A voice suddenly came out of nowhere. A female voice.

Lissa's voice.

"Rose!" the voice screamed out and I turned around to find Lissa running toward me. Where was I? Did I faint or was I dreaming..? Lissa reached me and she grabbed me into a tight hug. Tears streamed down her face.

I went into complete shock.

How was she here, what was happening?

"R-Rose" She sobbed, "I missed you so much" She was still clinging to me.

"Lissa ... where ... why ...how is this happening?" I asked her, I had no idea what was going on.

"I'm inside your head. It's like a daydream or something. I slipped into it. After you left Adrian was trying to teach me to walk in people's dreams, but I could never grasp the concept of it. I could only go into people's heads while they were awake. I wanted Adrian to teach me everything he knew, so that I could get into contact with you, because I missed you so much..." she stopped to sob and then she began her story again, "I also discovered that I can pick up other people magic elements by holding onto them." She said proudly.

"What do you mean ... pick up?" What was she talking about?

"Well, I'll give you an example. Say if I was standing next to Christian. If I grabbed his arm, I could generate his magic to flow into me, and I could use his fire power while we were holding hands or something. It works with any element."

"Wow, Liss. That's really great" I said with a smile. I couldn't smile for much longer, I suddenly burst into tears. I couldn't control my emotions any longer and as much as I didn't want to cry in front of her, I did. The tears spilled from my face, and Lissa wrapped me in a hug. I decided that she needed to know about Adrian.

"Lissa... I don't know how to tell you this... but Adrian is... dead" I said, more tears flowing from my face.

"Adrian is ... what?" she asked.

"He's dead Liss." I said breaking into a sob. I suddenly was crying full ball. Not just little tears, a whole waterfall of tears fell from my face and Lissa shared them with me.

"I'm coming to heal him" She said, oblivious to the danger she was putting herself in.

"No you're not!" I told her.

"What? You just expect me to sit back and relax while Adrian is dead and I have to power to heal him. I don't think so" She was angry now. I couldn't blame her, if I was in her position I would be angry too.

"You can't, there are Strigoi everywhere it's not safe for you!" I told her harshly, maybe a little too harshly. She was very fragile at the moment.

"Give me your hands, I'm going to try something." She demanded. She grabbed my hands and held them. "Look into my eyes and concentrate" She ordered. I did what she said, not knowing what this was going to do. I stared deep into her pale-jade eyes and she stared back into mine. I had no idea what she was doing. Her face was strained, and at once I felt a jolt of magic flow through us and Lissa disappeared.

"LISSA!" I screamed out, scared for her safety.

"I'M IN" Lissa screamed from nowhere.

"Lissa, where are you?" I asked her, I couldn't see her anywhere, but her voice sounded as if she was right next to me.

"I'm inside your head, when Adrian was trying to teach me to enter people's dreams, I discovered I could enter peoples head anytime I wanted, it is really draining though and it uses a lot of magic" Lissa replied. "I'm inside you physically and emotionally", and at that she laughed.

"You were already in my head when you were standing in the garden ..." I said, puzzled.

"Yeah but now we can travel back to the real world." Lissa explained.

"Well that's all very well, but how is this going to help anything." I asked her, curious for what her answer would be.

"Well, I'm hoping that I can try to heal Adrian from inside your head, I'm not sure if it will work, but we will just have a try, it's better than doing nothing" Lissa said, sounding like she was about to cry again.

"How do I get out of this garden?" I asked her.

"Concentrate as hard as you can. Keep pushing your way out, and you will get out" Lissa said gently.

I followed her instructions. I concentrated as hard as I could and at once, I was back where Adrian was laying.

Motionless.

Lissa let out a small gasp and although I couldn't see her face I could imagine her mouth wide open.

"Okay Rose, go lay your hands on his chest" She ordered. I followed her demand, and laid my hands on his chest. "Just so you know, I won't be able to stay in your head after this, I'll come back tomorrow, I promise. I just won't have the strength." She said, sounding apologetic.

"Don't worry Liss, its fine. I'll be waiting for you tomorrow." I told her.

"Okay, now concentrate, I'm going to try now" Lissa said, and with that she fell quiet. I concentrated as hard as I could and finally I felt the magic flow through my body like water flowing down a stream. I felt the magic flow through me, and into Adrian. His body began to its colour, and his cheeks became a rosy pink.

The magic finally stopped flowing through me. Lissa had enough time to whisper "When he wakes up he will be completely healthy, everything will be okay", and then she faded out.

I watched Adrian carefully and finally I felt his chest rise and fall.

He was breathing. Alive.

I almost jumped for joy. I waited and waited for what seemed like hours and he finally woke up. His eyes fluttered open and I almost fainted.

"ADRIAN!" I screamed and threw my arms around him.

He looked dazed, like he was off in another world. Maybe he had been. "Rose ..?" he asked, looking very confused.

"Yeah Adrian, it's me" I said with a smile.

He wrapped his arms around me. "What happened?" He asked me, letting go of me.

"I'll explain later, we have to get out of here." I said, making haste for him to pack his stuff. "You need to feed don't you?" I asked him. I brushed my hair back but he started to protest again.

"Rose ... no" He didn't want to drink from me. We didn't have time for this.

"Adrian just shut up and fricken drink" I told him, "We don't have time, we have to move and if your weak you're going to die" I told him nastily. I had to be honest.

"Fine Rose, but this is the last time", and he bit into my neck.

I cried out in pain from the bite, but the pain was replaced with pleasure.

Pure bliss.

He drank and when he pulled away a flush of disappointment rushed through me, but I didn't let him see it. I felt dizzy and it was hard to find my feet, but we couldn't risk sticking around, the Strigoi could come back any second.

"Come on Adrian, get your stuff, we have to go right now." I said, trying to hustle him.

He was still moving at normal pace, he was probably oblivious to the fact there was Strigoi lurking in the same woods that we were in. "Do you want to die?" I asked him. It was a harsh question, but hopefully it would get him moving.

"What the hell, of course not." He replied

"THEN HURRY UP, faster, faster." I urged him. I couldn't risk his life. What had that blonde Strigoi said to me?

Their coming, she had said to me. Who, more important what was coming? We had to get out of here.

"Rose ... what's going on?" Adrian asked, obviously scared.

"I'll explain later, just get a move on" I told him

He followed my orders and we ran off into the woods.

It took about 4 hours for us to finally find out way out of the woods. The sun was just rising when we finally found our way out. We found ourselves on a main road. It looked extremely like... Spokane. In fact it was Spokane. We had gone all the way to Spokane. That was really weird.

"We got out" Adrian said, looking like he was going to pass out. It was probably the most physical activity he had ever done. I started laughing, and then felt like I was going to collapse myself from the lack of food.

"We need to go to a hotel and I need to eat, before I die!" I said, walking faster.

Adrian still seemed somewhat dazed. He didn't talk as much as he usually did, and when he did talk, it was only what was typical to say.

We found a hotel and proceeded inside. It was one of those luxury hotels that were like 100000 dollars a night. Okay, a little bit of an exaggeration, but it looked like it would be that much. As soon as we stepped in the door every head turned our way and they all turned up their noses.

"Stupid snobs" I muttered and Adrian cracked a grin.

We walked up to the desk and the lady working behind the counter gave us a disgusted look.

"Look I don't want to be rude or anything" the lady said with a snort, "But I don't think you will be able to afford anything here" The woman was a Moroi working in a human populated hotel. Weird. She had pale skin and light blonde hair, she looked a little like Lissa, but she wasn't as pretty. Her eyes were a grey colour and she looked like she wanted to blend in with the humans.

I couldn't blame her for thinking that we couldn't afford anything. Adrian was drenched in sweat, his clothes were dirty and his hair looked like a birds nest. There were twigs in my hair and my clothes were dirty from rolling on the ground fighting Strigoi. Together we looked like a pair of homeless people, until Adrian pulled out his credit card.

"Yeah thanks for your concern Natalie" Adrian said, reading the woman's name badge, "but I think this place suits us just fine, don't you think Rose?"

"Yeah ... I said. I suddenly thought this woman would be totally shocked when she found out who we were. "Too bad mum couldn't come and stay" I said winking at Adrian.

"Rose, Guardian Hathaway would be way to busy" Adrian said, cracking into another one of his crooked smiles.

The woman at the desk almost fainted. "Did you just say ... Guardian Hathaway was your ... mother? The guardian Hathaway?!"

"Yeah, I said that didn't I. Whatever, Adrian Hurry up, I'm tired." I said, with a grin plastered to my face.

"Sure thing Rose" Adrian said and handed his credit card over to the Moroi woman.

"It's a pleasure to meet the daughter of Janine Hathaway" The woman named Natalie said.

Then she nearly shit herself.

"ADRIAN IVASHKOV?!" She said, reading the name off the credit card.

"That would be me" Adrian said, with his crooked smile still on his face.

"Oh wow, I'm really sorry, if I had of known ... it's just you look so ... dirty..." She said wrinkling her nose again, "Where did you go?"

"Oh we went hiking" I said in a posh sort of voice. Adrian cracked up laughing.

"Well here there is a key to one of the most expensive rooms here. Spa, double bathroom, you name it. Ill some breakfast up in about an hour." She said with a smile and handed back Adrian's credit card.

Adrian and I walked off laughing and attracting more attention to ourselves.

We got to our room and spilt up so that we could clean up.

"We will talk about what happened after" I told Adrian, and ran off toward the bathroom.

I just HAD to clean up. I ran to the shower was fast as my feet could carry me. Luckily Adrian had given me the bigger bathroom. What a thoughtful man. I laughed to myself, took off my clothes and turned on the water to the shower. I stepped in and it felt like heaven. I hadn't had a shower for so long, and the hot prickly water, bouncing off my skin felt so great. I used shampoo and conditioner that smelled like wild flowers and I combed all the twigs out of my hair. When I finished, I felt as clean as ever. I stepped out of the shower with a smile on my face. I towel dried my hair and was about to get dressed until I realised I had left my top on the bed.

Great!

Now I had to walk out there in my bra and get my top, while Adrian was there. I put on all the rest of my clothes on, so I wouldn't be completely naked. I decided that I would blow dry my hair.

After I finished, my hair was all fluffy and soft. Perfect, I thought to myself. I looked sort of good, even though I was only wearing a bra and shorts.

I stepped out of the bathroom and into the bedroom, my long brown hair was flowing over my shoulders and the shorts sat perfectly on my legs.

Adrian was sitting on the bed. He turned around to the sound of me entering the room and his eyes widened.

"Geez little Dhamphir, you sure do know how to tease someone." He said with that crooked smile back. I was glad he was smiling like that, it had been quite a while, and I missed the old Adrian.

"Shut up" I said nudging him lightly, "I forgot my top that's all"

"I will not look, I will not look, STUFF IT I'M LOOKING!" He said with a grin.

"For crying out loud" I said, putting my top on, "Relax, Relax" I took a seat next to him. I knew what was coming next.

"So what happened Rose, I don't remember anything, all I remember was waking up really weak..."

"Well do you want to know the short version or the long version?" I asked.

"Short." Adrian said.

"Okay ... well. You were really weak. A Strigoi turned up with her mate. I took out her mate, she took out you. You died. Lissa somehow got into my head and healed you, now here we are"

"I ...died" Adrian gasped. "You're joking right?"

"No I'm serious" I said.

"Wow... So she healed and stuff? WOW." Adrian exclaimed.

Our chat was interrupted by a knock on the door. I got up to answer it; it was room service, WITH A TRAY OF FOOD! I let them in and they set the table and let us to eat. There was Bacon, Eggs, Toast, Sausages... everything. I ate like nearly everything not leaving a scrap. I was SO hungry. Adrian laughed at me, and at a small amount, not too much, but enough to keep him full.

We finished and the people came back to take away our rubbish. "Come on, we better get to bed, we will need to leave in the night, there is no way I can let you walk in the sun."

I hopped into bed pulling the covers up to my chin. Adrian followed.

"Night Adrian" I said, turning off the light, so that we were laying in the quietness.

"Rose?" Adrian said softly.

"Yeah?"

"I love you" He said nervously.

I wrapped my arms around him. He flinched, I laughed to myself. He didn't expect that.

"I love you too" I told him and I meant it.

(A/N: soOoOoOO....what doo you think, love, hate, despise, WHAT?

The green button calls you with a megaphone! )
