Damn, I'm so happy you guys are liking this story so much. :)

Thank you.

I actually should be studying for my Sociology test that's on Thursday but you know... PROCRASTINATION WINS AGAIN! haha

Enjoy.

It looked like Rose and Christian weren't going to get to talk today since Lissa had informed them about Dimitri and his friend Adrian inviting them to some amusement park. She was slightly confused and surprised. Dimitri hadn't talked with Lissa in a while, why all of the sudden was he calling her up? But that wasn't just what made her confused. It was also the dream she had of Dimitri. Her memories floated back to it causing her to wince. She would never tell Lissa about it.

The three of them made their way over to the amusement park. It wasn't hard to spot the two since Dimitri was so tall. Lissa's face brightened as she caught sight of Dimitri, practically skipping over to him. Rose wanted to gag but knew better than to do that. Instead she nudge Christian in the ribs and nodded towards the two males before leaning over to whisper to him. "That one is Dimitri... I can't tell where he is from but his accent is present. And that one is Adrian, I guess. I've never really met him before."

Christian nodded, the wheels turning in his head, making Rose wonder what he was thinking. "Got it."

They entered the amusement park after everyone was introduced, and before Rose knew it, she was alone with Adrian. She couldn't see where her friends had gone to but at least she wasn't totally alone. Pursing her lips, she glanced over at Adrian, his dark hair pushed away from his face. He was very handsome, probably one of the most handsomest men she had seen, besides Dimitri, that make was just breathtaking. But it wasn't just Adrian's appearance that made her want to get hot and heavy with, it was his eyes. He had pretty, deep, emerald green eyes... that were staring right at her.

Rose snapped out of her trance and looked away, pretending to be busy looking at the roller-coasters around her.

"So, tell me about yourself." He smiled.

"What do you know to know?" She glanced over at him, meeting his gaze again, hoping the pink hue on her cheeks wasn't too noticeable.

"Anything. Where you're from. What you go to school for. What perfume you smell, cause damn, do you smell delicious." He chuckled.

"I'm boring. You don't want to know anything about me. And I don't wear perfume... well I usually don't, anyways." Rose frowned. Why was he asking her all these questions? Yeah, it was awkward being around someone you didn't really know, especially since Rose wasn't used to having so many friends around her.

"That's okay, I'm sure I would find you interesting." He nodded, glancing around before looking back at her. "Really? I could have sworn you were wearing some."

"I'm sure you would, but I'm not going to tell you anything." She smirked, suddenly becoming playful.

What's wrong with me? She wanted to slap herself for acting that way towards him. Was she trying to flirt with him?

"Oh?" Adrian suddenly raised his brows, probably surprised by Rose's change of action.

Oh dear, God, did I scare him off already?

They waited in line in silence after that. As Rose glanced around her surroundings, hoping that the others would arrive, she felt a tingle down her spine. What was that? She thought, looking back at Adrian. He was looking at her, which surprised her but he wasn't focused on her. He had a far off look. Rose wanted to wave her hand in front of him, hoping he was okay. Did I scare this guy to death or something?

And just as the thought came out, Adrian seemed to snap back to attention, a smile spreading across his lips as he looked at Rose, really looked at her. Rose almost sighed at relief for that. "Where are the others? It seemed we lost them." She mumbled, looking around again.

"I know. They will catch up. They know what ride we're at." Adrian nodded and it was weird because as soon as he said that, they showed up next to them. Narrowing her brows, she looked around them. "There you guys are. You were beginning to make me worry."

"Sorry we got split up." Dimitri said, nodding towards Christian and Lissa. "They practically got dragged away." Lissa huffed and crossed her arms. She clearly didn't look as happy as she did before. Christian didn't look comfortable around those two. Rose wondered what had happened while they had split up for that short amount of time.

Rose was about to shrug it off until she saw Adrian's face. He was looking at Dimitri was it was like they were speaking to each other. It was weird, causing Rose to shiver again.

"Hey, are you cold?" Christian looked Rose in the eye, frowning. "I should have brought my jacket."

"No, I'm fine." She smiled, reassuring him. "Oh hey! We're next."

The rest of the day went pretty well. Although, Lissa soon noticed how Dimitri was staring at Rose most of the time and how friendly the two had gotten, the rest was almost perfect. And Rose didn't feel bad about since Christian was there to keep her company. Adrian didn't seem to matter too much since his mind seemed to be in a dark place. Rose wondered if he was a little bipolar.

They all waved goodbye and promised to do something similar again. Now it was time to get Christian alone to talk about Janine and how Rose was in danger, etc.

Dimitri and Adrian sat in the car in silence as Dimitri drove back to his home. Adrian had been awfully quiet ever since Dimitri found his way towards him and Rose. Something was up but Dimitri couldn't tell what it was. But he would just have to wait until they got to the house before Adrian would spill what he had found. But something in Dimitri told him he wasn't going to like it.

As soon as they entered the house, Adrian began to pace back and forth in front of him. "Man... you're going after something..." He didn't finish and instead lead him to the secret room in Dimitri's room. Once safely inside, Adrian took a deep breath and tried to talk again. "Stay away from Rose Hathaway..."

"Why?" Dimitri narrowed his brows, sitting down on his desk. He actually liked being with Rose more than he should have. Of course, it made Lissa a little upset but he didn't really care. She would move on, probably onto that Christian guy. "Why do I need to stay away from Rose? What did you find?"

"When I looked into her mind... everything seemed perfectly fine. Yeah, her life was a little bit of a mess, but whose isn't?" He found a beer in the mini fridge Dimitri kept in the room and opened up, taking a sip before continuing. Dimitri gave him an unapproved looked but Adrian ignored it. "And as I kept searching... nothing. I found nothing. It... It was like a whole chunk of her life was missing, something she couldn't reach. But... it was a blur. That black void was replaced with other memories. Someone had replaced her memories to try to hide up things that they didn't want her to know."

Dimitri crossed his arms over his chest, not saying a word.

" Now, tell me, who the hell can even do that? Rose in no way could have done that to herself, so someone else must of have to." Adrian shook his head, sighing and taking another sip of his beer.

"That does seem strange. Throughout my whole research, I haven't found anything that even touched the topic of that. I don't even think any spirit user can do that. It's a mystery." Dimitri frown, tilting his head, trying to think something up that could have caused it, but came up with nothing. "Okay, Adrian, we know someone has tampered with her memories... but why do you want me to stay away from her?" Adrian's lips pressed into a thin line. He was holding something back and Adrian didn't want to let whatever it was out. "Come on, Adrian." Dimitri growled.

"She is associated with someone. She doesn't know him. Barely has any memory of him. Just small glimpse that seem dream-like, but that's it. But it's someone who should be feared. And it's someone you know well enough." Adrian suddenly became fearful.

"Who?"

"Abe Mazur. She knows him. I don't know how but she knows him, Dimitri. She doesn't know she knows him but he is there, always watching over her and I have a feeling in my gut that says so. She should be feared and you should stay away from her. He'll know if you come near." Adrian shook his head, beginning to pace the small room.

This was a big deal, bigger than most people would think. Abe Mazur wasn't someone you wanted to mess with. He was evil, conniving and good for everything and nothing at the same time. Usually if you wanted some inside work done, he was the man to go. Though, of course if you couldn't pay him with money, you paid in something else. He was a very good man to get on the wrong foot with. Half the things he does is unknown, only people in his business know what he is truly up to, but Dimitri is pretty sure it all has to do with illegal things.

If Rose knew him someone, then that was something to be feared from her. Though, Dimitri couldn't help but to feel like he needed to get closer to her still. See what her deal is and why someone would block her memory like that. It had to be something really important if they had to go to that extent in doing so. Adrian tried to make this case seem dangerous and something Dimitri couldn't touch anymore. But... that was opposite for him. The more dangerous it got, the more Dimitri wanted to get involved.

Later that night, when Adrian wasn't around, Dimitri decided to make a phone call.

"Hello?" The other person on the line answered after four rings. Her voice made his heart skip a beat.

"Hey, Rose... It's Dimitri. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tomorrow." He bit his lips, hoping she would agree.

"Uhm..." There was a long pause causing Dimitri to hold his breath. "Sure."

Excellent. Mission get-to-the-real-Rose was in order.

I hope you guys liked it. I tried to not add in any cliff hangers but of course I didn't give you all the information. Got to keep you guys on your toes haha.

Anyways, please review, it means a lot. And it helps me update faster.
