Thank you for all your comments, it's nice to know you all like my story, please keep on commenting.
Chapter Seven
Before the plane landed we all put our charms back on including me as well, I don't think my disguise will fool the guardians for long but it will certainly fool other people.
After the plane had landed, James came to see us off, he told us that if we need to fly anywhere, we are to call him straight away. He told us he can pinpoint us from the phone as it has a tracking device in it. I thought Abe might do something like that to keep track of us. Other than that James wished us luck and told us that there is a car waiting outside for us so we don't have to go through the airport, another little something Abe had set up.
When we got outside there wasn't just a car waiting it was a limo with blacked out windows, which is ideal for Lissa and Adrian. The driver was waiting with the door open, "Hurry and get in please" he said, he was dressed in a suit and from his face I could see he was India, but he spoke very good English. We all got in the car, as soon as I sat down I turned the phone on "My name is Isaac, I am to take you where ever you need to go while you are in Las Vegas, my number is in that phone" I nodded to him "I suppose you can track this phone too" I raised my eyebrow "That is correct, I am to drive you to the Luxor hotel first so you can check in, Ibrahim thought it was best you stay at the same place as before" That shocked me bit, how did he know we stayed there last time, well I suppose anything is possible when it comes to him. "Alright, but we will need to go to the Witching Hour later" I said, he answered me instantly "Later, p will find it strange that Moroi are not asleep at this time" I was going to say tonight until he cut me off, but I just nodded my head in agreement. Isaac turned to the front then and started the engine.
Lissa and Adrian sat in the back with me, while Dimitri sat in the front with Isaac, I suppose after everything on the plane he thought he would give me some space. After five minutes the phone rang "Hello" I said "Rose is that you" It was Abe "Yes it's me" He cut me off quickly then "At last you've turned the phone on, I have some good news and a bit of bad news" well I certainly didn't want to hear the bad news "So what's the good news" My voice sounded cautious "I'm sure Vasilisa has told you that as soon as they noticed you were gone I was to go up against the court to buy you some time" He paused then "Yes Lissa told me And" I emphasised the And part "well they noticed you had gone quite soon after I arrived back at the academy, they weren't very pleased at all but they were shocked to find Vasilisa and Adrian still at the academy" he took a breath and started again "As soon as they had checked on Vasilisa and Adrian, court was in session, so I entered to fight your case. I asked the court to give you some time, I told them you came across a link to prove your innocence but needed time to gather the necessary proof, although they cut me off at first but to my surprise two guardians stood up for you, to listen to my request" I had a feeling I knew who one of the guardians was already "And what happened" I heard him take a breather "The two guardians asked the court themselves to give you time, what harm could you do as they didn't believe you killed the queen either, they also mentioned the fact of Vasilisa is still with us too" I was getting a little inpatient now "So what did they decide already "Patience Rose, I am getting to that part, after the two guardians had spoken they had a small five minute recess" He paused again "Only five minutes to decided my fate, nice one" I said "That's all they needed, the decision was that they will give you a month to come up with this so called proof" my voice was a little loud as I said "A month, is that all" which caught Lissa and Adrian's attention, they didn't quite understand what was being said but I think they understood that we only had a month to find this Sibling of Lissa's. Abe spoke again "I haven't finished yet Rose, the rest of the good news is that they're not sending a group of guardians after you but the bad news is, if you are spotted by any guardians who recognise you then they will try to capture you", I started to speak "Well I suppose that's better than nothing, but one month is kind of short but it will have to do, what were the guardians names who spoke for me" I had to ask, "The two guardians were called Mikhail and Hans, there was also quite a few Moroi who spoke for you too" It's nice to know some people believe I'm innocent, "Thanks Zmey for all you did but enough chatter, I better get on with things" I could hear Abe laughing on the end of the phone "Yes and make sure you don't come back empty handed, use that lovely charm of yours" he kept on laughing "ha ha, are you done?" He stopped laughing then "Rose, I'm serious, don't come back if don't find anything, I will not have my daughter executed for something like this, so no joking around and if you need any information about anyone, contact Sydney" I couldn't really say much to that "Alright I get the point" I said. "Contact me when you have made some progress", he was using his firm scary voice now "No programs, speak to you soon" I just got a goodbye and he hung up.
Everyone was looking at me now, even Dimitri had turned to face me "We have a month to find what we need" Dimitri spoke "That's more than enough time to do what we need to do" He sounded so sure of himself "Well I'm glad you're so confident, but it's not going to be that easy, although the guardians have not been set to look for us, the guardians who spot us will try to capture us. Adrian spoke then "Try yes, but they won't succeed Rose, you have two strong spirit users with you and then there is you and Belikov who are very strong Dhampirs, so all we need to worry about at the moment is finding out the names of this unknown family" he makes it sound so easy but it's not "Well I hope it's that easy, but we will need to be careful in the witching hour, there are many guardians there" Lissa and Adrian nodded in agreement, Dimitri said "The best way is to separate into two groups, we won't be noticed so much then" I kind of already thought of that but I just agreed with him "Yes of course, Adrian and I will go together" He cut me off quick "Actually it will be better if Adrian goes with me because a female feeder with a male Moroi might attract unwanted attention" Lissa agreed with him "He's right Rose, you might attract other men's attention being with Adrian, It won't be so bad with me" Adrian spoke then "As much as I hate to admit it , they're right Rose" I was about to talk myself to say I agree but Isaac cut me off "We are here" It took a while to get to the hotel because of all the traffic but it helped us to discuss what we were going to do "what are our check in details?" I forgot to ask Abe before "your reservations are two tower suites in the name of James Smith which is a very common name and is your pilots name" I smiled at him "Thanks for all your help" He nodded to me and we all got out of the limo and entered the hotel.
We got to the front desk, "May I help you" the Moroi lady spoke to Lissa but Adrian walked in front of her and said "yes my dear, you may help us, we have reservations under the name of James Smith" He spoke in such a flirty voice and he was leaning on the counter very close to her, she couldn't help but blush "One second Sir, I will just check now" She had a great big smile on her face, I just rolled my eyes at Lissa and she giggled a little. I sensed Dimitri wasn't impressed either, but he kept a straight face, which looked a little funny with Eddie's appearance. "Yes I have you staying in the West Tower rooms 16247 and 16248 under that name, is that correct Sir" She tucked her hair behind her ears as she said that, god could she be more obvious "Yes that right, thank you for all your help my dear" He shot her his charming smiling and that was it she was putty in his hands "No problem Sir, I'll show you to your rooms, do you have any luggage to be carried" Yeah she would like to do more than show him to his room, She caught a glimpse of me then, "Would you like a separate room for your feeder, Sir" Oh yeah I forgot, I looked like a feeder right now. "She is not my feeder, love, she's my sister's" he pointed to Lissa "And we don't have any luggage except the two bags we are carrying, we wanted to travel light as we will probably buy a loud of stuff during our trip" He winked at her, she giggled a little "no worries Sir, I'll show you to your rooms now" She shot me a quick glare again, she obviously doesn't like humans very much. "Lead the way my dear" She smiled at him and we all followed her.
She showed us around the suites. They were phenomenal! Both rooms had a fridge, coffee maker, two rooms which were a living room and bedroom and a jetted marble shower bathroom. The bedrooms had two single beds and the view overlooked the pool area. She gave Adrian the keys very slowly so that they touched and said "enjoy you stay with us, please don't hesitate to call the desk if you need anything" She gave Adrian a smile and then left. Adrian just laughed after the door closed, "Ahem, now that you have finished playing around, we should all get some rest" Dimitri sounding a little pissed off, "That was quite a show you put on their Adrian, but It looked really strange because of your appearance as Christian, I'm sure even Lissa was getting fed up" Adrian just smiled at me "a little jealous aren't we little Dhampir" I just glared at him "You'd know if I was jealous, now let's get some rest like Dimitri said, Lissa and I will stay in this room, you two stay in the other". the smile soon went from Adrian's face "Fine, let's go Belikov" He sound like a spoilt brat "Try not to aggravate Dimitri, Adrian" Lissa said, Adrian just grinned "I'll try", Dimitri was already out the door before he said that, so I gave Adrian a quick kiss on the lips which surprised him, he smiled and left.
"Alright, let's have a good look at this suite" I said, Lissa just smiled "Bathroom first" she giggled "Princesses first" I said as I opened the door "Thank you" she said as she walked through the door. We looked around in amazement, it was huge "Wow, that shower is huge, it could fit the both of us in there and some" Lissa said as she started to laugh "there's two sinks as well for us, Abe really went all out for us". We checked out the bedroom next, it was a separate room like the bathroom, it had two wardrobes for us and the beds were amazingly comfy even the pillows were ultra soft. The living room was spacious, lovely comfy chairs, television, long draped curtains to cover the windows which were drawn already for Lissa. The little kitchen area was nice too, where the fridge and coffee maker was. The only fault is that the room is a little on the warm side, but that can't be helped.
"This is brilliant Rose, but let's not get too distracted, we need to get some sleep before tonight" Lissa was right "I'll try Lissa" We made our way to the bedroom. It didn't take long for Lissa to fall asleep but I laid there for a little while. I was praying that we'd find Lissa's half sibling, praying I won't have to leave Lissa forever and go on the run, just praying everything will go back to how it used to be. I know the last one is a long shot but I hope the other two come true.
After a while I did manage to fall asleep, but I wasn't alone for long, "Hey little Dhampir, what took you so long?" figures he'd enter my dream "Just did a bit of thinking before I fell asleep, Why are you in my dream Adrian?" He smiled
"Just thought I'd visit seeing as I can't be with you in the same room plus we get to be alone here" I just rolled my eyes at him "I would like some nice peacefully sleep considering we've got a long night ahead of us" He started to walk towards me "Oh Rose don't be like that, this is the first chance I've had to be alone with you" He hugged me tight then "I've missed you" after he said that I couldn't help but sink into his arms, they were so warn, gentle and full of love.
I know my heart does not beat for Adrian like it does for Dimitri, But I think, I do love Adrian, I'm not sure what kind of love I have for him yet, but for now his love and Lissa's is all I need to get through all this, I hope.
