Rose's POV

"Alright. Here it is. Dimitri was just captured and was in a dungeon. I saved him, and now we are back to report at the school so everyone knows and Dimitri's family just doesn't want to leave him." I paused and nobody answered. "Okay?"

"A dungeon, Rose? Really?" Sonya asked with a smirk on her face.

"Hey! Don't hate because you don't have an awesome imagination like I do." I smiled back at her.

"Wow." Olena said. "You really are like your father. Big headed."

"Scary isn't it?" Abe asked from the front. "Now there are two of us. What's the world going to do?" I laughed and shook my head.

"Oh, Zmey. You make me laugh." I looked at him. "I bet me and Dimitri are scarier then you and your goons-"

"Hey! I regret being called a gone!" One of Abe's guardians piped up. I laughed and continued.

"We are scarier than them and you. We could take you all out without breaking a sweat." I glared at him.

"Your right, Rose. But my reputation still precedes yours." He said slyly.

"Not for long." I said and winked. "Now, we have to get in the gates. And I am still worried about getting past the wards." I said as we stopped at the gates. I held my breath as the two guardians smiled at Dimitri and I and let us pass. The van moved again and I felt it as we went through the wards. A force pushed me and Dimitri back and it knocked the wind out of us. When we completely passed the wards, I started to fade out. I saw Dimitri about to pass out too. I grabbed onto Dimitri's hand and we both fell into darkness.

**VA**

Abe's POV

Rose and Dimitri past out and I just told the driver to keep going. "We can't have the guardians thinking something is wrong. If they knew what was really happening, they would kill them." I told a hyperventilating Janine. We stopped the van and all stepped out. I grabbed Rose as two of my hired guardians grabbed Dimitri. "Well, we might as well put them in the same room-"

"Ibrahim!" The love of my life and the mother of my child cut me off.

"Well, it's not like they aren't sleeping together." Her face turned red with embarrassment. She mumbled her agreement and walked with me as I carried Rose into guest housing. Luckily, we passed no one in the hallways. We got into their assigned room and I laid her on the bed and the others laid Dimitri on it to. Unconscious, I watched as Rose and Dimitri both rolled over into each other, and saw them both relax at each other's touch. They really did love each other.

But, I still had to talk to them about this arrangement. No one would ever accept it and Janine and I still had something things to discuss with them. And threats to deliver to Dimitri. I may have not of been in Rose's life, but I had watched over her all the time. Alberta was the only one beside Janine and the queen that knew Rose was my daughter. We left Rose and Dimitri alone and went our own ways. Janine and I showed the Belikov's and Oksana and Mark their rooms and then went to our own.

When Rose had disappeared, Janine had called me and asked if I could look for her. I didn't tell Janine where she was, I only told her if she was alright.

*Abe's Flashback*

I got a call from Sydney the alchemist. She was frantic and was saying that Rose was hurt. I immediately got up and ordered my guardians to get the car. They did and we sped off to the little house outside of Baia. We found Sydney holding Rose outside next to the barn. The guardians put them both into the car and we drove. Over and over again, Rose had kept repeating "Belikov, Belikov." I thought that she knew them so we took them there. When Olena came out and said that she did not know her I started to take Rose away. But then Yeva came out and spoke to Olena in Russian. "Mama says we have to take her in, so we shall." I nodded and told her to be careful with her. She said she would be and told the guardians to bring her upstairs.

*End Flashback*

I will always be thankful for Olena. If she hadn't of taken Rose in, Rose probably would have suffered much more. I thought Rose had known the Belikov's, but now I know that she was just dreaming about Dimitri. She truly loves him. And I have seen the way Dimitri looks at her. His eyes are filled with joy when he looks at her. Not possessiveness. He sees her as an equal and not as a whore. I hope that the council and the queen will allow them to be together. Janine and I have it easy because I am a Moroi; but they are both Dhampirs. Which is illegal. Maybe they can just be hired Dhampirs like mine are. Lissa would surely be alright with that. Janine snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Abe? Abe. Answer me!" She looked worried and I realized she must have called my name more than once.

"I am sorry, sweat heart." I leaned in and kissed her. She was shocked and stiff for a moment, but then she relaxed and kissed me back. We broke apart and got changed in to pajamas and laid down on the soft bed. "You stole my heart all those years ago," I said while stroking her curly red hair. "And you still possess it in your hands."

"Good. I intend to keep it for as long as I live." She kissed me and we snuggled next to each other. I hadn't been this close to the feared Janine Hathaway in almost 19 years. And I planned to keep it this way for as long as we both shall live.

I thought that Abe needed to be understood by everyone just a little better. I know this chapter is kind of boring, but it has to be here for chapter to come.
