Well here's chapter 30 :) I can't believe that just over a year ago I'd published chapter 1 and look at where I am now :) I hope you guys are enjoying this school year and enjoying yourselves :) Well here it is, enjoy!

I tried to scream for Lacey, but it was like the man anticipated my moves. Before I could scream, he had a piece of cloth over my nose and mouth. I tried to fight him off of me, but he was much stronger than me. He sat me in a chair while another pair of hands tied my wrists to the chair so I couldn't move. Before long, I'd slowly started to fade away. Realizing that he'd drugged me, I'd tried to fight falling asleep. But I couldn't. I slowly faded into the darkness.

~ The Next Day ~

I was being pushed awake by someone, but it wasn't the man. The person shaking me wasn't as strong and their hands were smaller. I slowly opened my eyes and looked up into Lacey's eyes.

"Lacey?! We NEED to get out of here!"

She smiled. "I know."

"Why are you smiling? We're in DANGER!"

"Because you're the only one in danger."

"Why am I the only one in danger? We're in the DARK with some MAN!"

"Well that man happens to be Caleb."

"What? Why did Caleb do this to me?"

"Because I told him to. I told him to call you yesterday morning and scare you. He was supposed to grab you but I'd gotten to you first."

"What?! Do you even work here?!"

"Oh, yes! But the office I'd shown you wasn't mine. Mine is next to yours. I've kept a close eye on you the past 4 years. I'd told Valerie to give the office next to mine because I'd show you around and make you feel welcome. Being the cheery person she is, she agreed and made that your office. I have cameras, microphones and a hole in the wall in your office so I can keep an eye on you."

"Why do you want me? Why can't you just leave me alone?"

"You're very valuable in the Strigoi world, Rose. And your precious baby. We want to take you to them so we can be very famous in the Strigoi world."

"We? Who else is wanting me?"

"Caleb, of course."

"And what do you mean you'll take me to the Strigoi? They love to kill Moroi!"

"Well, you see, my dear Caleb's a Strigoi. He use to be Moroi unil he changed. He promised to turn me Strigoi once we had you and your baby."

"Why would you want to be a filthy Strigoi?"

"WE ARE NOT FILTHY!" Caleb roared.

He pushed Lacey aside and got right in my face, his red eyes shooting right into mine.

"We are NOT filthy. It's you Dhampirs that are FILTHY! Now shut up so we can kill you!"

"No! You will NOT kill me!"

"Fine then. I'll just drug you again."

"Don-"

Caleb had the cloth over my mouth again and in a matter of minutes, I was fading away again. Back into dreamland. Where Dimitri, Lissa, Demitra, my mom, Christian and everyone else were.

~ 2 Days Later ~

I stirred, slowly waking up. I wasn't in the chair anymore. Now I was laying on the ground, nothing tied up, completely free. I shot up, looking around. Lacey and Caleb weren't around, so I stood up and walked up the stairs as quick as I could to the door. As soon as I reached the door, I grabbed the doornob and tried turning it. But it wouldn't budge.

"Fuck!" I almost screamed.

There was laughing behind me and Caleb was heading up the stairs towards me. I tried getting away, but then I realized there was no where to go but to him and I'd try that, but I'm 8 months pregnant. I'm out of practice. And I don't want to fall and hurt myself, losing the baby or something serious being wrong with her. I stayed put, waiting for Caleb to come and hurt me. He was in my face, but he didn't hurt me.

"So I know you like vampire bites. I don't bite too hard."

"I won't let you bite me."

"Oh, you don't have much of a choice Rose.."

"Yes I do. You're not biting me Caleb."

"Oh but I am Rose. We're going to go back downstairs and you're going to let me bite you."

"Did Lacey tell you too?"

"No, she said not to bite you but I'm going to anyways. I want to taste you dhampir. And you're going to let me."

"No, I'm not. You're not biting my neck."

"Yes, I am Rose. Even if I have to drug you again or tie you down."

"What if Lacey finds out?"

"Let her find out! I don't care!"

"And if she leaves?"

"I don't care. I don't plan on turning her Strigoi anyways. I'm just using her so I can get to you. Be famous in the Strigoi world. I only needed her to get to you. Now can we go downstairs? I'm hungry."

"No!"

"Now we can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way. Your choice."

I sighed, knowing I wouldn't win. "Fine, we'll do it the easy way. I'll lead the way."

"Good girl."

I started walking down the stairs, leading the way.

~ Lissa's POV ~

It's been 2 days since I last saw Rose. I was on my way back to her office from the store so we could decorate her office. But when I'd went into her office, she wasn't there. I walked back down the the secretary when you first go into the building, and she said she hadn't heard from Rose in an hour. I'd felt fear and worry wash over me. My 8 month pregnant friend was missing. No one said they'd seen her today. Now I was sitting in her and Dimitri's house, in the living room with Dimitri and Janine. Now that it's day 2, almost day 3, we were planning how we were going to find Rose.

"So the last time you'd seen her was when you'd left for the store to get decorations?"

Janine was asking Dimitri and I both questions, trying to figure out where she'd be.

"Yes. And she'd called me about 20 minutes later."

"Did she sound panicky or worried?"

"No, she sounded excited because we were going to be decorating her office."

"What about you Dimitri?"

"Last time we'd spoken it was through texting. So I can't tell you if she sounded afraid. I know she'd left her office like I'd told her not to, but that's it."

"She didn't call you at all?"

"Well she did earlier before that. She said someone had called her saying they were coming after her."

"What did she say?"

"Just that a man threatened to kill her and the baby."

"So we're looking for a man. That narrows it down," she said sarcastically.

"It's not my fault Rose didn't leave us much to work with Janine."

"Well she could have been descriptive, since someone was coming after her."

"She didn't even know what he looked like!"

While the 2 of them argued, I sat there, wondering if we were ever going to find Rose. We won't with the 2 of them arguing all the time. Arguing won't find Rose.

"You know, arguing won't find Rose."

They stopped arguing and looked at me.

"You're right Liss, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be arguing when my pregnant wife's missing."

"She had to have been taken while she was in the building. But where? Someone should've noticed them."

"Maybe the security cameras have something on them," Janine spoke up.

"That's a good idea, we should go do that."

"What about Liss? Do you want to go?"

"Yes, I want to find my best friend."

"Alright, let's go."

We got up and left the house, getting into Janine's car. She started the car and drove over to the secretary building. We got out of the car and walked into the building. The woman at the desk greeted us with a smile.

"Hello! How may I help you?"

"We'd like to look at your security cameras please."

"I'm sorry sir, I can't give you those."

I stepped up, looking at her.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Queen! Follow me!"

They both gave me a look, shrugged and we followed her into a room labeled security.

"Hello Bob. These 3 want to look at the security cameras."

"Why's that?"

I spoke up. "Our friend Rosemarie Hathaway, was taken 2 days ago and we want to know if any of the cameras caught anything."

"Are you sure she went missing her?"

"I'm sure. She works here and this is the last place I'd seen her the other day before I'd left."

"Are you guys thinking she left with the people that'd taken her?"

"Yes. But we're not sure. We only know that a man had called her, threatening to kill her and her baby. She's 8 months pregnant."

"Pregnant and kidnapped? Oh jeez..I'm sorry. I'll look up the film from the other day."

"Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome Queen."

He looked through a drawer, filled with tapes. One was labeled "February 5th, 2010" He pulled it out and put it in the player. He pressed play and we watched the screen. So far, it was just random people, no Rose.

"Can you skip an hour or 2?"

"Yes."

He skipped an hour and it showed me leaving the building, going to the store.

"It should show her in about an hour if it even does."

We continued to watch and then we finally saw Rose. Dimitri jumped out of the chair he was sitting in and got closer to the screen. She was with a woman, around 5'4", platinum blond hair and pale skin. A Moroi. The woman led Rose to a door.

"Where's she going?" Dimitri was looking intensley at the screen.

"I don't know," Bob answered. "But it's somewhere in the main lobby."

"We need to find that door, Rose is in there."

"We will Janine."

"Or we could ask Adrian to go into her dreams," I piped in.

"We are not getting him into this," Dimitri growled.

"We need to Dimitri. How else are we going to find her?"

"Well you'll be the one to talk to him about it."

"Fine, I will."

~ 2 Hours Later, Rose POV ~

I woke up laying on a bed, feeling really funny. I tried to sit up, but I felt too exausted. I laid back down and rubbed my stomach slowly. I could still feel my baby moving around. So she's okay. Me on the other hand...I felt drained. I froze as soon as I said drained. Caleb bit me. I'm a little dazed but now I remember that he bit me. I rubbed my hand against my neck, feeling for the bite mark. After a few seconds I'd found the mark. It was pretty big, but it didn't feel too bad...Hopefully it would heal soon. I tried sitting up again and this time it wasn't too bad. I was less light headed and tired.

"You're finally awake!"

I looked over to the left and Lacey was sitting in a chair next to the bed.

"Yeah."

"So Caleb bit you huh?"

"Yeah, a few hours ago."

"Why?"

"He said he wanted to taste my blood."

"And you just let him?"

"I didn't really have a choice."

"He's MY boyfriend, okay? MINE."

"I understand that. I don't want him. I have Dimitri."

"Still. He's MINE. Leave him alone."

"Oh, I will. Don't worry about that."

"Yeah well are you hungry? I'm supposed to make sure you eat, with being pregnant."

"Yeah, sure. I'll eat something."

"What do you want?"

"Some donuts and coffee."

"Okay, well I'll go get them while Caleb watches you."

"Alright."

She left the room, going to tell Caleb I guess. I laid back down and slowly drifted back to sleep, the drugs from the Strigoi bite clouding my brain once again. God, I hate vampire bites sometimes...
