A-

p.s. To the anonymous reviewer, thanks for letting me know about the spell error, my laptop changes it automatically and I don't always have time to proof read and double check, also as I am from Australia we spell Mum with a U not and O so for me it is 'Mumma'. :)

Since arriving at the Belikova house two weeks ago, life had seemed like it was going in warp speed. Elena had grown a centimetre and was learning more Russian than i could learn in a whole year, watching her light up with Dimitri's family- her family- brought warmth to my heart. However there were still pressing matters at hand, like the reason we are in Baia in the first place. Strigoi. The Evil Vampires who not only kill and feed off the living, now had a certain target in mind, Elena. Whilst our daughter was being over coddled by Dimitri's family, Dimitri and I were working on strategies, only so far it hadn't really gotten anywhere.

"How about we do what we did when looking for Sonya Karp, use your Strigoi connections to get answers?" I asked, memories of last time we did that flashed through my mind, Dimitri had lost control with our lead and ended up staking the Strigoi again and again. It was only after him finding something beautiful to hold onto -like my hair, and I still don't agree- that he calmed down and gain control of himself again.

"No, too much time has passed, all Strigoi know I have been restored by now, especially being Christians guardian and so close to Lissa, it would be hard to not know." Dimitri made sense, sometimes I forget that we had been apart for years.

"Well then we will just have to-" Dimitri cut me off.

"There is a place we can go, Strigoi go there to pick out prey" Just like the Moroi at that bar I went to whilst I was on the hunt for Strigoi Dimitri I thought. "There will be a few there, more than we both can knowingly take, we have to be careful" He looked at me questionably "No jumping in first and thinking second" he added.

I scowled at Dimitri "Maybe I would have a witty line if I was on the run of the mill Strigoi hunt, but im not and this is our Daughters life on the line, any impulsive thing I do will be heavily thought out." Dimitri drew his arms around me, kissing my forehead.

"Sometimes I have to remind myself your not the 17 year old girl I fell in love with anymore" he said.

"Is that your way of calling me old?" I joked.

"No, its just before, you were more than an amazing warrior, now your extraordinary, and I regret every day that I missed so much". I felt his arms tighten around my waist, as if he were afraid I would leave.

"Hey, were together now and thats all that matters. I'm not going anywhere, and I hope neither are you" as soon as I said the last bit I mentally slapped myself, Dimitri was guilty enough about walking out before he knew I was pregnant, rubbing it in his face was a low accidental blow for me.

"Ill never leave" Dimitri held my face between his two hands and kissed me.
"Dimka?" The familiar and highly annoying voice of Dimitri's grandmother Yeva made us turn around.

Dimitri answered Yeva in Russian so I tuned out until she began speaking to me. "I have seen a difficult path for you both" seriously the woman was like eighty, couldn't she knit rather than give bogas predictions and harass me... "So difficult path like separating and then Dimitri finding out he has a daughter two years later? Because thats already happened" I scoffed back. Yeva gave me an angry Russian glare, I was thankful I still had my Nazar on, otherwise I would bet my silver stake she was giving me the Evil eye...
"No" She said "This journey will be one much more difficult than a guardian single mother"
my jaw hit the floor, I opened my mouth to protest extremely loud but Dimitri sensing my aggravation squeezed my waist his hand was still around, telling me to let it go.
Dimitri muttered something in Russian I hoped was back off, but I doubt it, Russians apparently had more respect for their family than Americans with Turkish Mobster fathers and less than present Mothers.
"She believes what we need isn't in Baia, but Moscow will hold answers of sorts.
"She could have just said that" I huffed. "We can leave when you're ready, Ill send Adrian for Elena". Thats when Yeva injected her thoughts again.

"The child will remain here" she said.

"Her home is at court, there is protection there" I said. Granted Elena loved playing with her cousins, but to leave her here, without me or Dimitri, well I just wasn't too keen on the idea. I wouldn't be surprised if Yeva made her carry a bag of bricks to Mark and Oksana's house too...

Dimitri was again talking in Russian with Yeva to the point where I scowled at him until he switched to english, his eyes apologised without him needing to speak it when he looked at me.
Yeva continued to speak in english. "Elena I did not see at court, she was here. This is safest"

"How do you figure that, you're willing to put her life on a 'vision' you had, court has guardians, lots of them, the best and Wards that are re-done on an hourly basis. How is Baia safest?" I was getting angry.

"I have to agree grandmother, Court seems most logical place to take her" Dimitri looked at me knowing I was not for this idea at all.

"Strigoi expect you to keep her safe at all cost, where is the safest place... Court, she remains here she is hidden and with family in a town full of hundreds of Guardians. They may not be serving Moroi, but they received the same training as you both"

"Roza, I think shes right" Dimitri said, and what got me was that, I to agreed leaving her made sense.

"I know" I sighed.

"You shall leave tomorrow" Yeva spoke, interrupting my thought process, then she turned and walked away.

"Great, not only does your crazy grandmother have a vision about a journey for us, now she makes it a logical argument to leave our daughter without the protection of wards. Dimitri If anything happens.." I hugged him tight.

"It wont" he kissed the top of my head.

"Looks like were starting this "journey" in Moscow" I scoffed. "Probably won find anything, maybe ill find money on the floor, that could go towards lunch and essentially starting a journey" Dimitri laughed.

We tore apart from each other and left the study room we were in to gather our things. As is was already getting late we had to pack now, Journeys didnt typically start in the afternoon or evening, so it would have to be the morning. As Dimitri gathered the bags I was putting Elena down to sleep.

"Mummas gonna be back as soon as possible, I promise" I said kissing her forehead. I often forget how young she truly is, she probably had no clue what I was saying. Probably wouldn't even remember me being gone.
Dimitri entered the room and held Elena, walking around holding her and talking to her in his strange Russian accented baby voice, Elena loved it. I realised this might be the last time I have a night with my daughter for a while. Once we left we wouldn't be able to return until we killed those after Elena, otherwise we risk Strigoi following and finding her... I just hope we can do it fast.

So thats the new chapter, hope you guys liked it, Tweet me or instagram me what you thought and ideas for where Rose and Dimitri should go on their journey, ill need your help :)
