Sorry that this chapter is pretty uneventful. It really is just sort of a filler so everyone could be clear on what happened between the jail break and now. Also, I'm not really sure how a hospital would have handled that whole "situation" so I just took a guess. I'm not so sure on what is going to happen now, but I will try to update as soon as I can. I will also be trying to make my chapters a little longer, I never realize how short they are until they are posted. Thank you all again for the reviews!

Dimitri looked up with a startled expression that quickly turned into relief. Ouch. As much as I knew that Adrian wasn't at fault here, I couldn't help but be mad at him for interrupting. I mean, really? Dimitri has been denying his feelings ever since he was turned back to a Dhampir, he had battered and bruised me with his ignoring me and then finally crushed me completely with the "love fades, mine has," thing he had going on. And when he finally, finally gets some sense in that lovely head of his…Adrian bursts through the door with a big happy grin on his face and swoops me up in a big hug, unknowing that he didn't even exist two seconds ago because I was about kiss Dimitri.

I gave a big sigh and hugged him back; don't be so hard on him, Rose. He is your boyfriend after all. That thought made me wince. Here I was acting all pissed because my boyfriend walked in on me and my ex-boyfriend. It really wasn't fair.

"God, you had us all worried." He sounded so sincere and serious, which was odd for Adrian. He always had a smart-ass thing to say. His worry just made everything harder; as much as I loved Dimitri, I couldn't deny that I had feelings for Adrian. They were both just so opposite, Adrian had his vices, like smoking and drinking (he was almost never sober) but he was sweet and funny and sarcastic. He acted a lot like me actually. But Dimitri was everything serious and passionate, a real bad-ass whose smiles were rare and laughs even more so, but he was always able to share one with me.

Dimitri was looking away now; I could see him over Adrian's head, seeing as it was buried in my shoulder. Did he look jealous? Or was that just wishful thinking on my part.

Adrian finally pulled away and gave me the details of the trip, which was pretty nice of him considering nobody else had told me. Apparently, Dimitri (yes, Dimitri) came up with the whole lets-break-Rose-out of- jail plan with the help of Adrian, Lissa, Christen, Mikhail, and Abe. They would have had an easy victory if I hadn't gone to such extremes. Because of my, um...situation, they were slowed down drastically and had to face more guardians because of it. I felt a lot of guilt over that, but it wasn't my entire fault. They could have told me that they were breaking me out.

After making a hasty getaway in a waiting car, they drove to a hospital to fix me up. The doctors only got as far as bandaging me up and giving me blood transfusions to get me somewhat back to normal. I would have stayed there much longer because of my condition, but the hospital wasn't that far away from court. So once I was at least semi ready to go, they took a privet plane to Saint Petersburg, courtesy of another one of Abe's "connections". After that we took a very long and, according to Adrian, boring car ride to Baia. Now, we were to hang out here at Mark and Ocsana's until we got some sort of lead to where Lissa's half brother or sister was.

Needless to say, Lissa was upset about finding out about her dad. But Mark and Ocsana were distracting her and Adrian by working on some Spirit tricks.

So now here I was,a fugitive hiding in Middle of Nowhere Siberia with my best friend, her obnoxious boyfriend, my kneecap breaking father, my ex -lover, and current boyfriend all nice and cozy under one roof. This was going to be tougher then I thought.
