Review && enjoy!(:

I woke up to my head throbbing, I was in bed and Kaia Sr. was next to me. She was holding baby Kaia in her arms.

I didnt waste anytime and I reached out to grab baby Kaia out of her arms. Kaia Sr. and her dumb ass strigoi reflexes moved before I could even touch them.

She kept her eyes on baby Kaia and studied her.

"She's very beautiful." Kaia Sr. said.

"Give her to me." I growled. To my surprise Kaia handed her over. She was sleeping soundlessly in my arms. Kaia wasn't lying she was a beautiful baby.

I smiled at her and kissed her head.

"She looks like Dimitri." Kaia said sitting on the bed. Her features were scary and she wore the same cold expression on her face but her words

held a pinch of sadness in them.

I examined Kaia and she did look an awful lot like Dimitri. Her hair was the same color as his, but I really wanted to see her eyes.

"Why did you name her after me?" Kaia asked looking into my eyes.

I narrowed mine at her."Because Dimitri said you were an amazing novice, strong, independent. And your name had meaning.

So I named her after what you used to be." I snapped.

She just stared at me. "I didn't want this, I didn't chose to become a strigoi. But I am, we don't chose our fate Rose." She said clenching her jaw.

"Well, I'm getting out of here and I'm taking my baby with me. There is no way she is going to spend her life with disgusting, horrid, undead monsters

like you." I told her.

I got up and Kaia grabbed my arm.

"Get off me!" I yelled shaking her arm off.

"I want to help." I was baffled, no strigoi in history that I knew wanted to help anyone. Except ending their lives.

"I don't need your help." I spat back, cradling Kaia safely in my arms.

"Oh really? This house is infested with strigoi how are you going to get out?" She asked clenching her teeth.

Damn she was right.

"Why do you want to help, your heartless, cold and evil." I told her. her lips curled just slightly into a terrifying crooked smile.

"Because Dimitri was a good kid, his child doesn't deserve a life like this. I don't care about you. You could die for all I care, but not her." She pointed to Kaia.

"She is special, she is the first dhampir on dhampir kid in history."

I was so stunned. She really believed Kaia was Dimitri's.

"What?" She asked probably reading my face.

"She might no be Dimitri's..." I whispered, looking at the stunning, precious baby girl in my arms. She was sleeping as if nothing bad was happening in the world.

Kaia Sr. let out a meancing laugh. "Not Dimitri's? Are you an idiot? She has his features, she looks exactly like him. It's the most obvious thing in the world."

I frowned at her. "Shut up." I got up and walked to the door.

"I can help." She said again.

I stopped and thought of my options, my body was in pain, the house was surrounded by strigoi and I have a new born in my hands.

My options were entirlely too bad.

I turned to her. "Whats your plan?"

"I don't have one, not yet." She said sitting down.

"Well we are running out of time, we need to come up with one quick." I said to her rocking Kaia in my arms.

"We just have to be-

The door flew open and about five strigoi came in grabbing Kaia and me.

"What the hell are you doing?" Yelled Kaia fighting them off.

"Your a traitor Kaia, helping her? Plotting with her? How dare you!" Growled Elijah slapping Kaia hard in her face. It looked so painful but Kaia didn't even flinch.

"My loyalty is to no one." Kaia simply responded.

"Well you will both just have to suffer the consequences." He smiled evilly. Baby Kaia woke up to the noise and started crying loudly.

I rocked her. "She is probably hungry." I told them.

"She is not our main priority." Elijah said walking out the room, we all followed.

"She is mine!" I yelled at him.

"Not for long dhampir, not for long."
