CHAPTER FOUR

"Little dhampir, I see you've been using my credit card." Adrian appeared from nowhere, stepping out from some tree's smiling at me. I smiled back.

"Well yeah, you're funding my adventure." Shocking him and myself I ran to his arms and hugged him. Right now, all I wanted was to be held by someone who understood me and just knew – about everything.

Turns out that long needed hug didn't last very long. I woke up feeling restless and couldn't go back to sleep. I stuck a do not disturb sign on the door and headed down to the lobby to see if that guy was still there, he'd provide me with some entertainment.

"Hey you" I said walking behind the desk and sitting on the chair next to him. I knew I wasn't supposed to but this guy would let me do anything – it's simply the effect I had on males.

"Hey." The smile he flashed me was supposed to be sexy, but honestly the kid just couldn't pull it off. "Can't sleep?" I shook my head at him.

"Guess I'm not as tired as I thought I was." I shrugged.

"So," he said casually, "You with that guy you checked in with tonight?" I faked a laugh.

"Course not, why would I be with him?"

"He seems to care about you – well actually it's more like love, but yeah." I shook my head.

"He doesn't love me."

"Well then he's an idiot." Then the phone rang. "Thoroughfare Motel, Jonah speaking." He said of a few more lines before handing the phone over to me. I took it confused, the only person that knew I was here was Adrian, but only because I'd used his credit card. "Your father," he announced. My father? How the hell did he know where I was?

"Hello?" I spoke into the receiver.

"Rosemarie, what on earth do you think you're doing running away like that? You were safe at court, I knew you were safe and I could sleep at night knowing that. But now, now I'm told you've run off because things were too hard! Is that correct? Do you know how worried I am, you're out there by yourself with no protection." My god, I hadn't known this man for very long, but yes he was my father. And the only reason I knew him was because he saved me in Russia after I thought I'd killed Dimitri.

"Hold on a sec dad," I grimaced at using the word, "let me just go somewhere a bit more private." I motioned Jonah away and he left, going into his office. "Ok, so first of all, how the hell do you know where I am? And second, I am a guardian old man, I do not need protection. I can take care of myself."

"Listen to me little girl, you made quite a name for yourself Russia and amongst the general strigoi population. YOU ARE NOT SAFE OUTSIDE THE COURTS WARDS. TURN AROUND AND GO BACK." He was practically yelling at me.

"I can't. I have things to do. And anyway, Dimitri found me, he's tagging along." Maybe I would have to keep Dimitri with me for a little while, but only to appease my father.

"I hope these things are more important than protecting Lissa or even your own life" he spat. "Do not move, I am coming and you are going to explain all of this to me. If you're going to be on your own, you're going to let me help you. Is that understood Rosemarie? I will find you wherever you are, make this easy on yourself and me." He hung up the phone. No, he couldn't come. I didn't want him to help me. I knew exactly what I needed to do, and I'm sure that even a mobster guy wouldn't approve of me seeking out a fugitive and using him to help me with my things to do. I didn't even approve of it, that's why I hadn't told Dimitri yet. He would drag me back to court in my sleep.

But he was the only one that could help me.

I bolted upstairs, grabbed my unpacked bag and went to knock on Dimitri's door. We were leaving before Abe could get here. No one was going to stop me from seeing the person I despised most, not my fear, not Dimitri and definitely not my estranged father.

DIMITRI POV

We hadn't even been at the hotel for two hours before there was a loud banging at my door and a very pissed Rose yelling. I hadn't slept yet, I had just been sitting on my bed, thinking about everything – well everything that was Rose. I got up and answered the door. She stood there, with her bag in hand looking around to make sure no one else was in the hallway.

"Come on, we're leaving, now." I didn't get time to respond before she pushed my door aside, grabbed my bag and left with me barely trailing behind her. Once we were in the elevator I took my bag from her.

"Rose, you need to rest. I'm sure we can leave in the morning, as planned."
"No. If we wait, he will come and screw everything up." Who would come?

"Give me the keys, you can sleep and I will drive for a little while."
"I am fine" she snapped. "I can drive. If you drive you'll take me back and I don't want to go back."

"I won't take you anywhere you don't want to go Roz- " I had to stop myself from speaking.

"I don't believe you" was the last thing she said before the elevator doors opened, she handed the keys back to the front desk, not even bothering to check out and headed off to our car. She started driving again, often turning off the highway, taking some back roads and then turning back onto the highway. Who was she trying to escape? No one was following us, I'd checked.

"Rose, you need to give me all the information and trust me. How else am I supposed to help you on this damned near impossible task? Tell me where we're going, who we're going to see and who you're running away from. Talk to me, please." I watched her the whole time. Her eyes never left the road, but she slowed down and her fingers clenched harder around the steering wheel.

"I didn't ask for your help. You came of your own accord."
"I get it," I whispered, "I broke your heart, I broke everything inside you and you hate me." But I love you so, so much, I thought to myself. "But Rose, I'm here for you and I need you to trust me. Talk to me, you've got no one else on this little adventure of yours, no Lissa and I doubt you're going to call her, so I am the next best thing. Rose no one can do what you're attempting to do by themself."

"We're going to Vegas to pay an old annoying friend a visit. And nobody is going to stop me. As much as I hate him, he's helped me with everything – he helped me get you back." She paused for a moment. "We're going to see Victor and running away from my father."

Victor, as in Victor Dashkov? The man that nearly killed Lissa and Rose in the process? She had officially gone insane. I sighed. I told her I wouldn't make her do anything she didn't want to do, she wanted this – at least that's how it appeared on the outside. I got the feeling she didn't really want to see him, she despised him beyond anything.

"Pull over. Let me drive to Vegas, you need your rest." She didn't respond, she just kept driving on into the night until finally, her eyes began to droop and she pulled over.

"If I wake up and find that you've taken me back to court I will hunt you down, rip your insides out and leave again" she muttered before closing her eyes. She fell asleep almost instantly and I continued our drive to Las Vegas.

I was so stupid, she loved me and I threw it away. Now she didn't even trust me. I'm practically starting again, I thought. Earning her trust all over again, falling in love all over again but this time I was going to do something different. I wasn't going to throw everything away, and I was going to protect her from everything. They were no longer going to come first to me. Whether Rose loved me back or not, I loved her and she was always going to come first.

ROSE POV

"How could you Adrian? You told my father where I was! Do you have any idea what you have done? He's practically stalking me now. Why did you tell him? When he finds me he'll drag me back to court myself and I will never find Lissa's brother or sister." The words slipped out before I even thought them.

"She has a brother or sister? That's what you're doing while you're away? Rose you can't track down a person who isn't even on record. You need help for that. Why didn't you tell me?"
"I have help, Dimitri found me and I can't get rid of him. And I didn't tell you because I only found out myself less than twenty four hour ago. I didn't tell you because, I'm doing something wrong. I'm getting help from Victor. He knows I won't turn him back into the authorities, especially after I broke him out of Tarasov. He knows that there's always going to be a time where I need him, and I need him now. I won't ever let him get near Lissa again though."
"Victor! You're going to see that sick bastard? Jesus Rose, I thought you had more sense than that. I was right to tell your father where you were, even if he threatened me into it." He added the last pat reluctantly.

"I'm safe now Adrian, Dimitri is with me, send me back." I didn't look at him, I knew he would be back in my dreams soon, and without so much as a goodbye from me, he left the dream world I and fell into the blackness I had become used to over the past months.

So guys, Abe is hunting down Rose. And we all know how badass he is, but is Dimitri and rose put together more badass than the Turkish mobster? Can they escape him?
Only I know ;) hehehe
