Well, here's chapter 8(: hope you like it. I'm SO glad i got it done before school(TOMORROW!).

Please review this chapter(:

I must have had a weird look on my face, because Dimitri had a worried look on his face.

"Rose, what's wrong?"

I looked right in to his eyes, they were bright red. "My stomach hurts, like it did when Strigoi were around."

He looked around nervously. "How bad is it?"

"Not too bad. But it could be something else and not Strigoi."

"We should still make sure."

He got up and walked out the door. I got up, peering outside from the door. I couldn't see Dimitri anywhere. I quickly went outside and looked around.

"Dimitri?"

"Go back in to the cafe Rose. Warn everyone."

"What do you mean?"

"Rose. Please go. This is important."

I nodded, even though he couldn't see me and went to the man behind the counter.

"Excuse me sir, but there's Strigoi outside of the shop."

He gave me a worried look. "Are you sure?"

"Yes. Dimitri is out there right now and he told me to come warn you."

He nodded and grabbed the phone off the wall,quickly dialing a number.

"Uh hello. We have a report of Strigoi outside the cafe, please come quickly."

About about five minutes a bunch of men were standing feet away from the enterance. I was deeply wishing I could be out there with them, especially Dimitri.

The owner put this hand on my shoulder. "They said lean under the table miss."

"I'm a guardian, I should be out there with them."

"You are one of two guardians in the whole cafe. You're doing your job right by just staying in here with us."

As he walked away, I thought about it. He's right, it's better for me to be in here protecting them. Even though I want to know what's going on outside, if Dimitri's safe. I got up and walked around the room, everyone was safe. I took a glance out one of the windows, the guardians were still lined up outside, but no Dimitri. I started to panic.

I ran up to the owner. "Where's Dimitri Belikov?"

"What do you mean where? He's outside."

"Where outside? I don't see him."

"I don't know."

I breathed deeply.

"Why do you want to know?"

I screamed at him. "He's my fiance!"

I walked off and back to my spot, not giving him a chance to react. As soon as I sat down, a guardian came in through the back doors.

"Guardian Hathaway?"

I stood up. "Yes?"

"We need you out there. We have two guardians to take over in here."

"Okay." I walked outside with him and saw that there was three Strigoi and two humans surrounding Dimitri.

"Dimitri!"

The male guardian who came and got me grabbed my arm tightly.

"Be quiet! They've threatened to kill him!"

I nodded and followed quietly to the other guardians.

"So why do you guys need me?"

"They seem to want you. Don't know why."

I thought. "I know why they want me. I killed Isaiah and Elena."

"Who?"

"In Spokane, Isaiah was the Strigoi that killed Mason."

"Are you sure?"

"Not completely, but give me a stake and I'll find out."

"You can't risk your life like that."

"How else are we going to figure out why they want me? Plus, when they talk to me, they'll let go of Dimitri and I'll have him to help me."

They let out sighs. "Alright. Here's a stake, be careful."

I nodded, stuffing it in the waistband of my pants. I walked over to them, and they imediatly let go of Dimitri.

"We finally meet, Guardian Hathaway. You're the one who killed Isaiah."

"Isaiah killed my best friend."

He laughed. "You'll get over it once you marry hubby and have your rotten children."

"Dhampirs can't have children, sorry to burst your bubble."

He again laughed. "Oh but you will. Trust me."

"Why should I trust a Strigoi?"

"You know the dreams you've been having of a little girl who goes by Demi?"

"How did you know-"

"Demi, sweet little girl, is a dream traveler. She may be yours, but she somehow inherited the genes of a dream traveler."

"I don't believe you. That's a bunch of bullshit."

He tsked. "Fine, don't believe me. But just wait...the night of your honeymoon, you'll get pregnant...and 9 months later give birth to that rotten thing."

"If this was to be true, how in the hell did she get genes of a dream traveler?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "Do I look like someone who'd know? I have no interest in dream travelers. My guess is she somehow caught them while inside of you during pregnacy. Plan on having an affair with a dream traveler?"

I scowled. "No!"

"Well then your out of luck Hathaway. That's all I wanted to tell you so we'll be on our way."

"You have to be joking, you came to tell me that I'm having a child in 9 months and she'll be a dream traveler and not to eat on our Moroi?"

He shrugged. "Someone had to warn you."

He, the other two Strigoi's and the humans walked off,guardians silently following to make sure they leave. Or to just kill them, I don't know.

"Are you okay Rose?"

"Fine. I should be asking you that, they pretty much held you hostage."

He laughed. "I'm fine, no pain."

"Good."

He looked at me closely. "Do you believe the things he said about Demi?"

"I don't know. I don't but then again how did he know about my dreams? He's not a spirit Moroi, so how would he know my dreams?"

"I don't know."

I sighed. "I think we should just forget about it and finish up our wedding plans and relax."

He laughed. "I agree with you on that."

I smiled and took his hand in mine. "What do we have to do left?"

"My tuxedo." He fumed.

I laughed. "We also need a bride's maid and best man."

"How about Christian and Lissa?"

"Sounds good. Now to find you a tux. But, just you and Christian, since he is your best man."

He groaned. "This'll be fun. When're you going to go get a dress for Lissa?"

"I'm pretty sure something in her closet will work."

He smiled. "What about your wedding dress? Is it done yet?"

"I have no idea. I'll have to call Liss and ask."

"Well while you do that, make sure she knows she's the bride's maid and Christian's my best man."

"I will." I dialed Liss and waited for her to answer.

"Yes Rosemarie?" Christian answered.

"Give Lissa her phone."

"Why? I like talking to you."

"No you don't."

"Yes I do."

I sighed. "Please Christian?"

"What do you want?"

"To tell her something about my wedding."

"Tell me. I'll end up hearing it anyways."

"Fine. Liss is going to be my bride's maid and your going to be Dimitri's best man."

"NO!"

"YES!"

"Why do I have to be the best man?"

"Because Dimitri picked you. And you need to go tux shopping with him. Now."

He groaned. "Be right over."

Click.

I smiled.

"Did you tell them?"

"I told Christian, he had Lissa's phone for some reason. He's coming over right now."

"Oh okay."

Someone knocked at the door.

"Have fun!"

He laughed. "Yeah right."

I pushed him out the door. "Bye!"

I shut the door before they could say anything. I locked the door and spreaded out on the bed. Finally I can relax.

Knock, Knock.

I groaned and got up. I opened the door and it was my mother.

"What're you doing here?"

"What, no 'Hi mom' or anything? Just a 'What're you doing here?'"

"My wedding isn't for another week though."

"I managed to get a few days off. I'll be gone in 2-3 days."

"Alright. Can I go back to relaxing now?"

"Define relaxing, Rosemarie."

"Dimitri's gone mother. I sent him away with Christian to get tuxedos."

"Oh. Well what are you doing while he's gone?"

"Relax. For once I don't have to do anything for the wedding."

She laughed. "Well how about we go get Liss then go to the spa?"

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Okay."

I got my phone key and we went to Lissa's room. I knocked twice.

"Yes?"

"Want to go to the spa with me and my mom?"

Her face lit up. "Yes!"

I laughed as she ran back in to the room to get her purse.

We walked to the spa and was taken to manicure tables.

"What all are we doing mom?"

"Manicures, pedicures,massages and facials."

I widened my eyes. "Really?"

"Of course. I want to make up for our fight and all these years. I know I should've been with you but I have a job to fufill."

"I know. It's fine."

3 women came in, sitting down across from us.

"What would you like?" The lady gave me a book of nail designs.

I started flipping through it. "Well I need something to match my wedding dress, so how about white nails and the tips be blood red?"

She smiled. "Sounds good."

She started working on my nails and I watched.

"Your nails look beautiful Rose!"

"Thanks Liss, yours do too."

I looked at my mom and Lissa's nails as we waited in our seats for our pedicures. Lissa got blood red nails with silver sparkles(to match her bride's maid dress) and my mom got plain french manicures. My own were white with red tips, and the lady added a rhinestone to the middle of each thumb nail.

"What're you doing for your toenails? People won't be able to see your toes with your dress, but still."

"I thought about getting blood red."

"That would be cute."

"Thanks. What're you getting?"

"The same."

"How about you mom?"

"Maybe aquamarine."

"That sounds pretty."

The same women came in.

"Hello ladies. What're we doing for our toes?"

"Blood red for me and Lissa's, and aquamarine for my mom."

"Sounds cute!"

They all got started on our feet. We flipped through magazines as we waited for them to finish. In the middle of page 39, Dimitri called.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?"

"The spa with my mom and Lissa."

"I thought your mom wasn't coming until the wedding?"

"She managed to get a week off."

"That's good. How come your at the spa?"

"Getting manicures, pedicures, facials and massages."
"That's nice of your mom. When will you be home?"

"In a few hours. Everything okay?"

"Yeah. Just wanted to make sure since you didn't let me know you were going to the spa."

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine. Have fun, I love you."

"I love you too."

I shut my phone.

"Dimitri?"

"Yeah. Guess they finished cause he called. Expect a call from Christian."

As soon as I finished, Lissa's phone rang. I laughed.

"All finished ladies. Walk in to that room for your facials."

"Thanks."

We got up and walked through the door, sitting in the chairs.

"So what kind of facials are we getting?"

"Guacamoli with cucumber slices on our eyes."

"Sounds relaxing."

"It is. The family I guard lets me get them all the time."

"That's nice of them."

"It is. It's their way of telling me thank you for protecting us."

I smiled. After about 10 minutes, they came in with bowls of the green stuff and cucumbers. They leaned the chairs back, putting guacamoli on our faces and cutting the cucumber then putting the slices on our eyes. We sat there like that for about 20 minutes then they washed it off.

"My face feels so nice and soft."

"Mine does too."

The ladies smiled. "And through that door you will take your clothes off, wrap a towel around your body and head then lay on the tables on your stomachs for your massages."

"Okay. Thank you."

"Your welcome."

We undressed and laid on the tables.

"I might fall asleep during the massage."

Liss and my mom laughed. "I wouldn't be surprised if you did, you fell asleep last massage we got."

I laughed. "Yeah."

They came in and we got 30 minutes worth of massaging.

"I feel so much better, thank you mom."
"Your welcome Rose."

We hugged.

"I better get home to Dimitri." I laughed.

"Yeah, and I better get to Christian."

"Bye mom," We said at the same time.

"Bye Rose, Lissa."

We started walking towards our building.

"Your mom needs a guy."

"Does not. She's serious about her work."

"She has to be lonely."

"Yeah, but work comes first, you guys come first."

"Whatever you say."

I laughed and walked in to the room.

"How was it?"

"It was fun. My nails look pretty."

"That's good. Do they match your dress?"

"No."

"Rose!"

"I can't tell you if they do or not! It'll give away too much!"

He sighed. "Fiiiine."

I smiled and my phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey. Carlee wants to know if you want anything else done on your dress."

"Can we go over there now?"

"Yes."

"Okay. I'll be right over."

I shut my phone. "Lissa and I need to go see her tailer about my dress. I'll be right back."

He sighed again. "Okay."

I smiled. "I'll be back soon, promise."

I kissed him and left for Lissa's. We walked to her tailor and sat across from her at her desk.

"Okay, so I have your dress right here." She turned her computer towards us, pointing a pen at it. "What else would you like done?"

I thought for a moment. "Can we make it strapless and longer so it trails behind me?"

"That sounds good. I can do that."

"Thank you."

"Your welcome. Anything else?"

"Can you add a huge silver stone to the middle of the red ribbon so it'll match my nails better?"

"Yes."

"Alright. Thank you, again."

"Your welcome. When is the wedding?"

"In 4 days."

"Okay. I can do it in that time."

"Okay. Thanks."

"Mhm. You'll have to pay and pick it up the day of."

"Okay."

We shook hands with her and left.

"We still need a bride's maid dress for me."

"Yeah. We better go look."

We walked to a bridal store and looked around.

"I'm thinking something red and short."

"How short?"

"Knee length."

"Okay. Why don't you have more than 1 bride's maid and best man? I'm sure Dimitri's sisters would love to be in it too."

"That's a good idea. I'll call."

I called Karolina's phone.

"Hey, Rose. What's up?"

"I was wondering if maybe you and Viktoria could be bride's maids along with Lissa."

"That sounds wonderful! We'd love to."

"Thanks. Can you both come over to the bridal shop right now?"

"Yes."

"Okay. See you in a few."

"See ya."

I hung up. "She said they could do it."

"Good. Now Dimitri needs 2 more best men."

"I almost forgot." I called Dimitri.

"Hello?"

"Hey. You need to find 2 more best men."

"Why?"

"Viktoria and Karolina agreed to be my bride's maids with Lissa."

"Oh okay."

"Can you manage? Maybe Adrian and Mykchel could it?"

"Yeah. I'll give them a call. I love you."

"I love you too."

I shut the phone. Karolina and Viktoria walked in.

"Hey guys, ready to shop for dresses?"

They laughed. "Yes. What're we getting?"

"Red dresses that go to your knees."

"Okay. Sounds good. Nothing on them?"

"I kind of want to get white ribbons around them, to match my dress."

"Yours is the same?"

"Not exactly. Mine's white with a red ribbon around it."

"Cute."

"Thanks. Now we're looking for plain, strapless red dresses. Do you guys have the boobs to hold it up?"

"Yes." We all laughed.

"Okay good."

"What if there isn't enough?"

"We order some."

"Oh okay."

We looked around for about 30 minutes until Karolina found a dress.

"I found one!"

We all went to where she was. She was holding up a short strapless dress in her size.

"It's perfect!"

"What're we gonna do, there isn't a white ribbon around it?"

"Maybe your mom could sew one on them?"

"That'd work!"

"Good. Find your sizes."

We got lucky. They had their sizes. We went up to pay for them then got 3 white ribbons.

"Shoe time."

"What kind of shoes are we getting?"

"Black heels."

"How tall?"

"About 4 inches."

"Okay."

We walked to a shoe store and found the perfect shoes, in all of their sizes.

"We're getting real lucky tonight."

"Yeah we are. You picked the right stuff Rose."

"Thanks Liss."

"Your welcome."

We went to the room Dimitri's mother was in and knocked. She answered.

"Hello! What do you guys need? I saw you guys went shopping!"

"Yes, we need these ribbons sewn to the dresses, please mom."

"Of course!"

"Can you get it done by the wedding?"

"Of course. It won't take long. I could do it now if you want!"

"Thanks."

"Your welcome."
We went in and she got out her sewing machine.

"What do the dresses look like?"

They all went in to the other room and put them on and the shoes, coming out and showing her.

"They're beautiful!"

"Thanks!"

"Your welcome. Where would you like the ribbons at?"

I pointed. "Right here in the middle."

"I can do that. Tori come here and we'll start with you."

Viktoria gave her the ribbon and she got right to work. After about 10 minutes the ribbon was sewn on, tying in the back.

"That's so beautiful, thank you."

"Your welcome. Now Lissa and Karolina."

It took about 15 minutes to get the ribbons sewn on their dresses. They were spinning around, showing off their dresses. I went and sat next to her.

"Thank you so much for doing this Ms. Belikov. They're beautiful."

"Please, call me mom. And thank you, they turned out wonderful. What does your dress look like?"

"It's strapless, white with a red ribbon and it trails behind me like a big tail."

"Sounds beautiful. Was it that way or are you getting it tailored?"

"Tailored."

"Well it sounds wonderful. You'll look beautiful Rose."

"Thank you, mom."

"Your welcome dear. You better be getting home to Dimitri."

"Yeah. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

They changed back in to their clothes and I took them back to the room.

"What'd you get?"

"Dresses and shoes for them."

"Oh, can I see?"

"Yes." I got them out and showed him.

"Those look nice."

"Thank you."

"Your welcome. They'll look great on them."

"They do."

He laughed. "Well we better get to bed. Can you still sleep?"

I laughed. "Of course. Why wouldn't I be able to?"

"Well it is a few days until the wedding."

I smiled. "True."

"We better get to sleep now."

I nodded and we changed in to our pajamas, laying in bed.

"Goodnight Rose. I love you."

"I love you too Dimitri. Night."

We kissed, falling asleep quick in each others arms.

Reminding you to review ;D
