Author's Note: So it's getting a lot better and for not writing awhile, I am going to write in Dimitri's POV.

Disclaimer: I don't own the VA Series.

Adrian ran after me and I wasn't sure if I should run more fast away from everyone. I let him catch up because even if he tried to stop me I could fight him off. "Rose don't run away from me I want to help you." He said grabbing a hold of my shoulder.

I looked at him and wondered why he was willing to believe that I'm good just because of my appearance. "How the hell do you know I'm not a criminal? There is a very good chance a bad Dhampir like me could've done it."

Adrian looked at me serious with his beautiful green eyes. "Becauce I'm a spirit user and I can see your vibrant gold aura, but it's also quenched in sadness. There is no guilt in your heart," he said truthfully. How did he know that? I felt incredibly naked with him looking at me, like he could see through my soul. He was concerned.

"But Lissa is a spirit user and she doesn't read auras." Adrian smiled at me friendly.

"She probably doesn't know all the perks of a spirit user, and she would need to practice harder," Adrian said.

I started to walk again through the crowd. "Okay so you believe me but I don't know what to do. I need to head back to my place and get the rest of my things. I have to contact Sydney for more of the potion to get rid of Strigoi bodies." I paused for a breath, "and we need to take the subway again. It's the fastest way to get around."

We walked quickly there and I didn't talk. I didn't know what to say. So I gave Sydney a quick call. She picked up immediately, "Rose what do you need?" She asked.

"I need more of that potion stuff, I'm in New York right now. Could you send more?"

Through the phone I could here trying to breathe calmly. "What are you doing in New York? You need to get out there now! I heard whats happened from the Royal Court." Sydney said. "How about you take a train and meet me in Salt Lake City."

"Sure but I need money, but do they know your there?" I asked starting to feel slightly uneasy.

Adrian looked at me and said he's got money. "No they don't. But this is the last time I'm helping you for awhile. I was so close going the re-education centre, but I ran away so it's not like I got much to lose."

"Okay thanks Sydney, I'll take the next train after I get my luggage." I hung up the phone.

I let out a breath of relief, at least I'm getting out of this hell hole of a city. "Adrian it's very kind of you to offer money but Sydney can handle it."

"It's okay Rose I got lots of money, and I'm going with you. I can't let anything happen to you. If it did nobody wouldn't notice you on your own now." He said and our stop is here so we got off.

I quickly got all of my things and we rode the cab to the closest station. It was getting to be late afternoon now and I had my last potion inside my pocket just in case. We sat there for awhile the next train would arrive in an hour.

Dimitri's POV

Everything still haunted me from being a Strigoi. I woke up sweaty and heart broken from a terrible dream. I was Strigoi and I killed people, I couldn't control myself. All I could do was just scream from the inside. I sat up for a few minutes trying to keep myself together.

I got up. Sleeping these days are the worse. I opened my door and walked the hallway. I wonder if Rose took my note I wrote her when we first fell in love. I headed to her dorm room. It was empty mostly, and I regret taking her to the airport. So much is clouding my thoughts.

I missed her terribly, but I couldn't see her after she saw me as a Strigoi. I wouldn't ever forget the horror in her face. The way I treated her. The way I captured her in Russia.

I took another deep breath, I'm torturing myself so I pushed those memories aside. Tears brimmed at my eyes.

I searched her things and picked up her uniform she had from St. Vladimir. It still smelled like her. I kept searching then I check the garbage can. The note wasn't there, she must have kept it. I found something else instead. It was a pregnancy test, I looked at the positive plus sign and my heart started to pound hard. I feel even more awful.

She's all by herself, and I'm thinking more clear. What the hell was I thinking? She can't take on more than a few Strigoi, and that depends how ancient or new they are. My thoughts fogged my thoughts about being a Strigoi. I was being so self torturing I wasn't thinking properly.

I remember I was drinking a lot one night, which I don't let myself. But the memories were too much and Rose was there. I started to remember we had an amazing night and she was so caring. Before I knew it we were making out in her bed, and then I was taking off her clothes. I shake that memory I need to help her.

I walked quickly out of her room and bumped into Lissa. She looked at me concerned, and then looked at what was in my hand. "Omg is that a pregnancy test?"

I nodded, "it's positive Lissa. She can't be alone, I'm gonna catch the next plane."

Lissa looked at me as I left. "I'm going to, you're not going alone." She ran after me. I stopped in front of her, she wasn't going to like what I'm going to say.

"Actually you can't come with me. I can't protect you by myself, and second you and Jill are the only ones in your bloodline," I said harshly hoping she'd try and understand. When it came to Rose she can be stubborn.

"Rose is my best friend, so you can't tell me not to go. Especially when she is pregnant," Lissa retorted. "I'm not asking for your permission. We both won't escape if we keep arguing."

She did have a point. I shrugged my shoulders, "if something happens remember it is your choice. I will try and protect you though."

We both left silently as we packed some of the essentials. While I drove to the airport, Lissa talked to me. "You know Rose is more than likely not in New York. I gave her a call and talked about the other guardians coming after her."

Rose's POV

I feel sick again. We were so close to arriving in Utah, but I couldn't hold back a second longer. I ran to the bathroom and threw up the bagel I ate this morning. It's been a couple of weeks and I just started to feel morning nausea.

I walked back to sit down. Adrian looked at me, "are you okay?"

"Yup must have been a bad cream cheese or something,"I lied. He glanced at me like he probably knew the truth but just didn't bother saying. Adrian let it slide and looked out the window.

The train stopped and we got off. The sun shines bright here, and it's feels really hot. I would need lots of sun lotion. Sydney sat on the bench waiting patiently. She got up and walked towards us with a friendly smile.

"This is a good place to be. Not too much Strigoi would be here because of the heat," Sydney said. "I already got a place set up for you Rose and whoever this is."

"Adrian Ivashkov."

"Okay so let's get going," Sydney led us to the car and we drove to the apartment.

My phone rang again. Is it Lissa? I picked up the phone anyways, and Dimitri spoke. I was very shocked hearing his voice, after longing for him for so long. To hear that he's made a mistake letting me go.

"Roza I'm coming to get you." My heart leaped happily when I heard my Russian name. His accent I really missed. "You didn't tell me you are pregnant."

So he knows. I hesitated, and I wasn't sure if he's excited or if he feels like he has to deal with me. That pain in my chest burned thinking like this. I put it aside and told him the truth. "I wasn't sure what you'd think or say. You're already a mess, and when I found out I didn't think you'd want to talk to me again."

I bit my lip impatiently waiting.

Sydney pulled up to a nice place. We got out the car and the others grabbed my luggage. "The thing I don't get is how can you think I'd abandon you after all that we've been through?"

"I'm not because that's how it felt like," I said quietly as we headed inside. The tiles on the ground were beautifully put into place, and colorful. I always thought mosaic designs were cool. There was a garden with beautiful flowers, and trees.

"I was hurt after what happened. But look I'm at the airport with Lissa. Where are you?" Dimitri finally said.

"I'm in Salt Lake City with Sydney."

"Okay well I'm gonna catch the next plane down there. I'll see you soon." Dimitri hung up the phone.

I feel happy knowing that both of them are coming down to see me. But what's confusing is Dimitri is one of the best guardians out there, and he's willing to break the rules to come see me?

Another thought came to my mind. I don't think they would return after everything that's going to happen. We'd all be facing a lot of consequences. I shook those thoughts out of my head.

Sydney unlocked the door and we walked in. It was pure white painted walls with a golden design as a border near the ceiling. We took the elevator up and walked into a nice open were beautiful abstract paintings on the walls. A nude beige couch and chairs. I looked into the bedroom and there is a big bed with plenty of pillows and a feathered blanket.

"It's a really nice place," Adrian said also checking it out. "But the paintings can be better. Maybe a few Claude Monet."

I raised an eyebrow, "you know about art?"

Adrian laughed,"there's more to me than my looks." He put his hands through his hair and I had to look away. I couldn't feel that way for him. "In fact I can do more then seeing auras. I could walk into other people's dreams, and figure things out. Lastly, reviving plants."

I'm surprised. Lissa couldn't do these things, she'd be fascinated learning from him. I started to crave some food. "Can we get some food I'm hungry." I said taking off my jacket. "I'm gonna get changed quickly, it's too hot for jeans."

So I slipped into a skirt and kept the top Lissa suggested I wear on. We were outside again. Adrian looked at me with his green eyes. "I assume that was a good phone call? You seem more happy." He said with a smile.

"I am but I need time to fly so lets explore and have a good day," I returned his smile as we all got in the car again. This time I couldn't help but keep my smile on my face.
