We went outside and it was so cold!
"It's cold!" I exclaim.
"Welcome to Russia," Viktoria said.
It got warmer as we walked. Dimitri was right it's not that cold. We headed towards a park.
"So where are we going?" I ask.
"To the park. My friend is waiting there," she said.
"Okay," I said.
We walked to the park in a comfortable silence.
"So do you have a boyfriend?" she asked.
"No. Do you?" I ask.
"No, but there's this kid that I really like but I have no idea if he likes me too," she said.
"Who is he. His name is Nikolai. Actually that's who we're meeting," she said blushing.
"Oh. Well if he doesn't like you too it's his loss," I said.
We get to the park and walk towards a fountain in the middle. Viktoria heads over to a tall kid with brown hair. Up close I can tell he's a Dhampir.
"Hi Nikolai. This is Rose," Viktoria said.
"Hi, I'm Nikolai," he said.
"I'm Rose," I replied.
"You remember my brother Dimitri?" she asked him.
"Ya. How could I not. He's huge!" Nikolai said.
"Well he's visiting for a week and brought his student Rose," she said.
"Cool, but shouldn't you be in school?" he asked me.
"Nope the school is on vacation for a week," I said.
"So are we," he said.
"Rose I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be back in a minute," she said.
"Okay," I said and she left.
"Rose can I ask you something?" Nikolai asked looking nervous. Oh please don't ask me out! I thought.
"Ya?" I asked.
"Do you think that Viktoria likes me?" he asks.
"Why do you wanna know?" I ask.
"Because I really like her but I don't know if she likes me too," he said.
"Well just ask her out and see what she says," I said.
"Okay, but I'm scared of her brother Dimitri," he said. I laughed and he looked at me like I was weird.
"You're scared of Dimitri?" I ask.
"Ya. He's huge and could beat me up in a second!" he said.
"Don't worry I'll hold him back," I said.
"Thanks," he said grinning.
"Ya, but if you ever hurt her I'll kill you before Dimitri can even get close to you," I said menacingly. He paled looking scared and nodded.
"Rose! What did you say to him? He's pale and looks scared," Viktoria said.
"Nothing you need to worry about," I said smiling.
"I-I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back," he said running away to the bathrooms.
I started laughing.
"He's scared of a girl," I said while laughing.
"What did you tell him?" she asked him.
"Nothing," I said innocently.
"I'll find out soon," she said.
"Sure you will," I said.
"I'm back," Nikolai said.
"How about we show Rose around," Viktoria said.
"Sure. Let's go," Nikolai said.
We left the park and walked around. They showed me where the church was, where the supermarket was, and all the little shops around there.
"Hey is there a mall here?" I ask.
"Of course there is we were going to save it for last," Viktoria said.
"Let's go there now," I said.
"Sure," Viktoria said.
"Are you girls trying to torture me by taking me to the mall?" Nikolai groaned.
"Yes, now let's go," I replied.
Nikolai complained the whole way to the mall.
"Now we're here so you can't complain anymore," I said.
"Fine," he answered.
"Come on lets go," I said.
The first shop we went to was in Russian so I don't know what the name was.
"Oh I really like these," I said holding out a pair of boots.
"They're really cute," Viktoria said.
"I'm going to buy them," I said. I noticed that she was only looking around and was getting anything. "Vikki why aren't you getting anything?" I asked.
"Everything here is really expensive and I don't have enough money," she said.
"Don't worry. I'll pay for everything," I said.
"No. I don't want you to waste any money on me," she said.
"Well too bad because I 'm going to buy you stuff whether you like it or not," I said.
" Okay," she sighed.
"Come on let's get you a dress," I said.
"Why a dress. It's not like I ever have a date," she said.
"Well it's better to have one ready," I said and winked at Nikolai when Vikki wasn't looking.
"Okay then let's go," she said.
Vikki tried a lot of dresses on before she finally got one. It was black and white and was tight. It was strapless and short.
"OMG! Get that one!" I tell her.
"Okay," she said.
We got a couple of more clothes and headed to the cash register.
"That will be $500 in total," the lady said.
"What! I can't let you pay for all that Rose!" Viktoria exclaimed.
"Don't worry," I said and took out a gold card. Adrian's gold card. Vikki, Nikolai, and the lady at the cash register stared at me in shock.
"What!" I exclaimed. The lady took the card and swiped it on the card thingy.
"Miss, this says this card belongs to a Mr. Adrian Ivashkov," she said.
"Ya he lend it to me before I left the states," I lied.
"Okay, well have a nice day," she said handing me the card and the shopping bags.
"You know Adrian Ivashkov?" Viktoria asked me.
"Ya. He's a friend of mine," I said.
"And he lend you his gold card?" Nikolai asked.
"Something like that," I smirked.
"What do you mean?" Vikki asked.
" Well I might have taken it out of his wallet when he was drunk, well when he was really drunk because he's always drunk," I said.
"You stole his gold card!"Nikolai exclaimed.
"No! I just took it without him knowing," I said
"Um Rose that is stealing," Vikki said.
"Well he knows better than to piss me off," I said.
"Oh, Rose," Vikki said. Just then my cell phone rang. I looked at the caller I.D. and saw that it was Lissa.
"Hey Liss, what's up," I said.
"WHAT'S UP? YOU NEVER CALLED ME TO TELL ME YOU LANDED OR HOW YOU WERE! I THOUGHT SOMETHING HAPPENED TO YOU!" she screeched.
"Well can you scream any louder I don't think China heard you," I said sarcastically.
"Sorry I was just worried about you," she said.
"It's okay Liss. Anyways I'm sorry I didn't call you I completely forgot," I said.
"It's okay," she said. "I have to go. See you soon,"
"Bye Liss. Tell Tasha and Pyro that I say hi," I said.
"Okay bye," she said and hanged up.
" So who was that?" Nikolai asked.
"My friend Lissa," I said.
"You mean the Dragomir Princess?" Vikki asked.
"Ya," I said.
"Okay so you know the Dragomir Princess and Adrian Ivashkov two of the most famous Royals. Who else do you know? The queen herself?" he asked surprised.
"Ya and let me tell you she is Royal Bitch," I said.
"Rose! You know the Queen?" Vikki said.
"Ya. I had the misfortune to meet the Royal Bitch," I said.
"Don't talk about her like that. If someone hears you, you can be thrown in jail for treachery," Nikolai said.
"Anyway how did you meet her?" Vikki asked.
"I met her when Lissa, Dimitri, Christian and me had to go to Court to testify against Victor Dashkov. He had tortured Lissa so was going to be thrown in jail. The queen wanted to talk to me before we left court. She thought I was in a relationship with Adrian so she wanted me to stop it," I said.
"So are you in a relationship with him?" Nikolai asked.
"NO!" I screamed disgusted. " As much as he wants to be in a relationship with me I sure as hell don't," I said.
"Oh," was all he said.
We went to a few more shops before we stopped at the food court.
"I want pizza," I said.
"Okay I'll go get a large pizza for all of us," Nikolai said.
"No I'll go. And I'm buying two large pizza's," I said and mouthed ask her out.
"Okay," he said.
I left to go buy the pizza's.
VPOV
Rose left to go buy the pizza's leaving Nikolai and me alone.
"So, I um want to ask you something," Nikolai said nervously.
"Go ahead," I said.
"Um I um wanted to know if you um wanted to go out with me?" he said.
"Huh?" I asked shocked. Did Rose threaten him to ask me out?
"Do you want to go out with me?" he asked again.
"Sure," I said. I was going to ask Rose if she threatened him when she came back. "So when?" I asked him.
"Tomorrow if you want," he said. He looked really happy. Hmm maybe Rose didn't threaten him.
"Sure," I replied.
"I'll pick you up at 6 then?" He asked.
"Okay," I said.
"I'm back," Rose said carrying two boxes of pizza.
"Okay let' eat," I said and walked to a table.
RPOV
Once we sat down I started eating.
"So did you ask her?" I asked Nikolai when I finished two slices of pizza.
"Ya, I did," Nikolai replied.
"Good," I said.
"Um... What are you talking about?" Vikki asked confused.
"I asked him if he asked you out already," I said.
"So you threatened him to ask me out!" she exclaimed.
"Calm down would you. No he asked me if you liked him when you went to the bathroom. I told him to ask you out if he wanted to know. Then I threatened him saying that if he ever hurts you then I'll kill him before Dimitri can," I told her.
"Oh," she said.
"Ya," I said and went back to eating.
When I ate about five slices of pizza's Nikolai said:
"How can you eat so much and still be skinny?"
"Blame it on Vikki's brother," I said and he laughed.
"Anyways it's getting dark we should be going now," Vikki said.
"Okay let's go," I said.
"We left the mall and headed back to the Belikov's place. My phone rang and I answered.
"Hello?" I said.
"Rose! Where are you guys? It's getting late," Dimitri said.
"Sorry. We lost track of time. We're walking back now," I said.
"Okay. Hurry up," he said.
"Okay. We will Comrade," I said.
"Bye Rose," he said
"Bye Dimitri," I said and hanged up.
"Dimitri is getting worried," I said.
"He's so overprotective!" Vikki exclaimed.
"I know right!" I said.
"So Nikolai where do you live?" I ask.
"I live a couple of house away from the Belikov's," he said.
"Oh. So Vikki how long till we get there?" I ask.
"About five or ten minutes," she said.
I suddenly felt nauseas and it felt familiar. Strigoi.
"Damn it," I muttered.
"What's wrong Rose," Vikki asked.
"We have to run! NOW!" I yelled.
"What? Why?" Nikolai asked
"Don't ask! Just run!" I yelled and started running hoping that they followed me.
They did follow and I was glad but before I knew what happened someone stepped in front of me.
Then more followed.
We were surrounded by three Strigoi's.
