Day by day I got the usual visitors…Lissa, Christian, Mia, Adrian, Dimitri and occasionally Jill. It always surprised me when she'd show up. I only knew her to be at court when she, Christian and Mia would practice their magic. More her and Mia since they can both wield water. At one point in time I had thought that water wouldn't be worth anything in a fight against strigoi but I changed my mind quickly after Mia had saved me in a fight with a couple of them.

So each time I would see Adrian I thought finally we're getting our special time...but it never happened. And each time I saw Dimitri I thought he was going to tell me when I would get my special time with Adrian…but he never did. It was driving me crazy since I asked him weeks ago to get me alone with Adrian again. If only I could get out of this jail cell and kick his ass for lying to me! I never once mentioned this to Adrian for he would have gotten pissed off-so I kept it to myself.

It was a Friday afternoon-in our world-when Dimitri came by. He was wearing his usual attire-jeans, black tank-top, and combat boots. But he didn't have his usual serious look on his face. He seemed…happy. Now that freaked me out a little bit. Dimitri always kept a stern and serious face. He almost always never allowed himself to show how he was feeling. Only a few times had he let go of his control but that was only around me. I had a feeling that he looked that way in front of everyone. As soon as he reached my cell immediately asked, "What's going on? Why do you look like that?"

"What do you mean?" he retorted

"I mean why do you have a huge grin plastered on your face and why are you walking with a pep in your step? You're starting to freak me out a little." that only made him smile more

"I am here on behalf of Abe."

"Abe?" that was the first time anyone has brought his name up to me. I always wondered what happened to him after the hearing but on one knew anything or else they did and he threatened to beat them up if they told me. I'm not sure. "What about Abe?" I pushed

"He has news for you."

"And?" I prompted

"He says that he is closer to figuring out what happened to you. Why someone would want you out of the picture…forever. He seems to think it was an inside job."

"Is he working with the Alchemist?"

"I'm not sure who or what he is working with. All I know is what he tells me."

"So what…you're his little messenger?"

"To put it in easy terms…yes I am."

"Better you than Adrian or anyone else I suppose."

"That's what he said when I asked him why me. It seems you are more like your father than you would like." he smirked

"Yeah I got that all the time from my mother. But that's not the only reason you look like you do. What else is there?"

"I am sorry to tell you but Adrian is no longer at court."

"What!"

"Yes I knew you would act like this."

"Is that why you are in such a good mood cause my boyfriend left for God knows what reason? That's pretty shitty of you! Plus you lied to me. You told me that you'd get him and I another special visit and you never did." I yelled

"Yes. I am sorry for doing that. But I could not allow you to use me in such ways. Nor could I allow for you to get in more trouble for sneaking someone in here. And not just any someone…Adrian Ivashkov! Plus I was not going to let myself get caught either."

"So you lied to me for my own good? That's a crock! Whatever…you can leave now." I turned my back and after a few moments I heard him walk away. In that moment of time I hated Dimitri. I never thought I could ever feel that way against him but I did. He did what he did for his own amusement and for himself. He hated seeing me with Adrian and once I got out of the jail I was going to make him understand how much I was over him!

It felt like eternity…but Adrian was back at court. He hadn't come to see me but at the moment I was 'with' Lissa. She was at the front building waiting to meet him. She had no idea why he left and I surely wanted to find out since he also hadn't told me. To both our surprise he had someone with him. And not just any someone…a girl someone!

"what the hell!" I spoke to myself

"Adrian…I heard you were back. But I didn't know you brought a guest. Rose is not going to like this." she told firmly

"Rose does not need to know anything." Adrian replied

"So you expect me to keep this from her. You expect Dimitri to keep this from her. He will be the first one there to rip apart your relationship. So for both her sake…and yours, because you know she will eventually get out, I would tell her immediately! Unless she already knows."

"How would she know?"

"Hello? The bond? Did you forget already?" Lissa said while making coo-coo sounds and faces.

"I didn't think she did that anymore." Adrian hesitantly wondered

"Oh…she still checks in. she just doesn't want anyone knowing about it. But Dimitri has confirmed it with me."

"Dimitri!" he scoffed

"Are all you girls falling over him now a days?"

"Adrian as I am sure Rose as already assured you, there is nothing going on between her and Dimitri. Not anymore. She is with you and loves you. Sure there will always be some sort of feeling for him but not the kind she wishes to act upon. Her eyes and heart belong to you." Lissa sounded so grown up as she spoke. I barely recognized the person talking, but I knew that if I wasn't in her head she would have said the same thing.

"You know that for sure?"

"Do you really not trust Rose enough to take her word for it? Do you really need to ask me as well. Adrian that's really sad. And you don't deserve Rose if that's how you're going to treat her." Liss almost turned to walk away but then remembered his friend. "Ah yes…who is your friend?"

"Well maybe if you would shut up for a minute I'd be able to tell you." she didn't reply; she shrugged her shoulders and nodded for him to continue. "Thank you. Vasalissa Dragomir this is Kaydence. She is your half sister!" at that moment both Lissa and I couldn't believe it. Especially since I had never said one word to Adrian about all that. I had only told Hans. I think I may have told Dimitri but no one else.
