Okay so i know it's been a while but it's sumjmer now and I'm hoping to finish this story by the end of it. Once again, I HAVE A STORY LINE AND KNOW WHAT I"M DOING. So don't you even worry. I will also be working on my other story, though i don't know if I will finish it by the end of the summer.

So, here's chapter twenty six.

Chapter 26

The rest of March went by in relative peace. I spoke to Dimitri as little as possible while trying my ahrdest to maintain the relationship i had found with the girls. We went on more shopping trips, hung out around the dorm, and went to the movies like normal teenage girls. It was so strange.

In other news, Nick got a girlsfriend from one of the freshman packs. This was good because she was his age (we were supposed to be freshman), but we wouldn't have to fight them (we were sophmores). Her name was Serena and we all actually liked her. She was over at our house some nights, and she seemed genuine and kind. Serena was a Genezer, and a pretty good one at that. I actually wouldn't have minded her being part of our pack. The thing i really took away from all this was that Nick's attention was finally off of me. He was content with this girl, which was good. I wanted to see him happy, even if it wasn't with me.

Matt stopped being clueless and started to notcie Abby (who was thrilled) after he overheard Kylie going on and on (and on and on and on) about Sam. They weren't a thing yet, but the glances and hand brushes were not unnoticed by me. It was cute to see the beginnings of a new relationship. Kylie was still being Kylie and Sam was still being Sam which meant that when Sam didn't respond to Kylie, she came and started complaining to us. Abby no longer cared (she would just zone out thinking of Matt), but it was annoying for Lissa and me. Still, i sat through it for one of my best friends.

In conclusion, everything was going fine. But that doesn't sound like my life, does it? Nope, it didn't last long at all. The night after we won our sixth tournament (the sixth of the year, coicidentally), I had a deep dream. I was on the balcony, spacing out looking at the moon. Suddenly, my mother appeared beside me. For some reason, this didn't bother me. Which told me it was a dream. I sometimes dreamed about my mother, but generally it was like a memory i had of her, and not a conversation.

"Rose, darling, how have you been?" She asked in a gentle, motherly tone.

"Alright i guess," I said unconvincingly. My mother, although she wasn't really ever there (she was a badass Guardian herself), knew me well enough to know when i was lying.

"Things aren't as glamorous as you thought they'd be, huh?" I nodded, and she looked at me. "Catch me up on what's going on with you. I haven't spoken to you since that day."

I cringed at the memory, but spoke. It was a dream, after all. "Well okay. I made Guardian. Alpha, actually. It's pretty sweet sometimes. I get to go to the movies and all. And my pack hasn't lost a single battle yet. In fact, halfway throught the year we were moved up to the Sophmore league. My pack is awesome. There's Nick, Kylie, Abby, Matt, Paul, Sam, Jean, Lissa, me, and Dimitri. Dimitri is my Beta..." My voice trailed off. I felt like a little kid, explaining my whole life in a few short sentances.

"Oh? Do i sense something going on with my baby and this Dimitri?" I blushed. Even as a ghost my mother embarrased me.

"Yes. Well, we had a thing, and it was awesome. I loved him. Love him. But he hurt me, and got too curious, and I just don't want to scare him away. Plus, he's got Mia now. He doesn't need me. So we're over." My mother was quiet for a long time.

"Rose, do you know the story of your father and I?" I shook my head.

"We meat when we were juniors. He was a Jaeger. I of course, was a Guardian. He came to my balcony, sang and threw pebbles at my window to get me to come out. The whole thing was very Romeo-esk. We fell in love and spent the whole year happily in each other's arms. We graduated and moved out. He of course had requested to be sent to my Pack. The request was, thankfully granted. So we lived with the Pack at our camp, fighting the evil that came our way.

"Then one day i found him with another woman. I was so furious that i ran out of the room annd locked him and the skank in. There were some loud noises and then he came out, drenched in blood. Turns out, the girl had been a dami that snuck into our camp. I thought it was a human, and left my own husband, my own Dimitri to die. We made up, he forgave me, and the rest is history. I learned to trust him. You should do the same. I don't think that you want your Dimirtri to be left alone." I was tearing up by the end of the story, and was only able to nod in response. She smiled at me with pride, as a mother smiles at a baby taking its first steps. "I love you."

"I love you too mom." My voice was choked up, but i managed to get the words out. The tears blurred me vision and when i wiped them away, she was gone. I woke up knowing what to do.

So there it is. Kind of heart felt. I realized while writing this that a chapter i had included earlier in the story had been replaced by a different version of another chapter. Sorry for the mix up. I inserted a part and tried to fix it up, which is why this chapter is actually chapter 26. That means i also have to take a detour from the story line to insert the missing part, because it is, after all, very important. Alright. So I'm gonna get busy with the next chapter.
