Hey guys, check out the poll on my profile and submit your answers. Without them I won't be able to continue. I hope you like this chapter, it isn't very long, but the next one will be! Enjoy BTW I need 20 reviews before they find Victor (Probably in the next chapter)
Lissa had a brother, or half brother at least. Lissa wasn't happy about her father cheating, but she was happy that if Victor wasn't found guilty over Queen Tatiana's death, at least she could have a vote that could help. Our tactics for getting Victor needed reviewing. Lissa was ready with her charms, but she wasn't up to full strength. Either was Adrian. He finally told us that he had been sneaking drinks while everyone was asleep. We set up so that Dimitri and I would take night shifts to guard the moroi and make sure Adrian wasn't sneaking out. We organised them so that we would both get enough sleep, and be on watch for the whole night. We were going to go looking for Victor tomorrow, no matter the circumstance.
We spent another couple of hours teaching the moroi how to fight. It was mainly Lissa and Adrian because Sparky and Flame boy were practising magic. I doubt that all the money in the world would pay for the damage those two have caused to this motel room. By lunch time I was starving, I hadn't eaten all day, or last night for that matter. We decided that we would go out and get some fast food for lunch. Yum, greasy food is exactly what I need.
When everyone was in the car, even though it was very squishy, we headed towards a McDonald's drive through. I ordered a Big Mac and a large frozen coke. I also got an apple pie and some cookies! Yum, I missed McDonald's. Once the woman at the drive through got our order right, we drove up to the second window and waited for our food. Once again, we left it up to Adrian to pay up.
We all ate our food on the way back to the Luxor. It was great finally having a meal that was greasy enough to fill me up. I noticed when we got back how all the moroi's pale features were so much paler. Damn their stupid need for blood. On the way to our rooms I stopped everyone and made sure nobody around us was listening. "Liss, when was the last time you guys fed?" I asked. Lissa hesitated before answering. "About three days ago," She told me. "Liss, why didn't you tell me?" I asked and she just shook her head. I couldn't take her anywhere, or the others, that would allow them to be seen, so I needed to find some more people to do the job.
I ran down the stairs and over to the bar, hoping to find some drunken people. Why is it me who always has bad luck. The bar was closed. I needed to find some humans who wouldn't remember a vampire had taken their blood, so I needed someone that won't even remember that they even got drunk.
I walked out of the Luxor and walked to the nearest casino car park. Car parks seem to be the best place to find a bunch of drunk idiots, don't they. After about twenty minutes, a bunch of kids slammed a door open and ran out laughing hysterically. They looked drunk enough to me, so I walked towards them casually. They started whispering to each other and pointing at me, so I put on my best man eating smile.
"Hey, do any of you wanna' come to my motel room?" I asked. They all smiled and began following me back to the Luxor. There were three of them, the exact amount we needed. They followed me all the way up to my room and came inside. Luckily all the others were in my room so I pushed the guys onto the sofa. Christian was first to get his share in blood, then Lissa followed suit.
Alex took the third guy and after Christian finished, Adrian had his share. See, the perfect amount of humans. The guys I'd bought in didn't have the slightest chance of remembering everything that had happened from the looks on their faces, so I covered up their necks and took them back out to the parking lot. I ran back into the motel, hoping nobody saw me, and went back to my room. All the moroi looked much better, so I smiled when I sat down next to Dimitri.
"Thanks Rose, I'm actually glad you did something useful" Christian smirked. "Hey, don't you make any snide comments Sparky" I laughed. Christian didn't have any comebacks for that one. Score one for Rose, zero for Sparky. "Hey, I thought I was Sparky" Alex told me. I grinned, "Nope, you're fire-boy" I told him. "My name doesn't sound as cool as his, can't it be something like, I dunno, Flamo or something?" He asked. "Nah, that makes you sound like a three year old, but you do act like one don't you" I told him. "I'm not that much younger than you, I'm sixteen" He told me.
After we argued for another, well, I don't actually know how long but it felt like forever, we organised our strategies for tomorrow. They were still the same, but we needed to be as stealthy as possible. Lissa and Adrian would go in first, then Dimitri and I. Christian will be waiting out the back just in case Victor and Robert try to escape out the back door and Alex will be in the driveway just in case they try to drive away.
After organising everyone, Lissa bought in all of the charms. I put them in a little bag so that we could get them out and put them on when we got to where Robert lived. By this time, everyone was ready for dinner. We all headed down stairs and went to the casino restaurant. When the waitress came to get our orders, I got the same thing I had the last time we were here, and egg roll sampler. Adrian was about to order a drink, right before I said that we all wanted water. The waitress walked away and Adrian glared at me.
"Hey, I need a drink, I'm going crazy remember?" He told me. "Oh yeah, and from what I remember, you have an automated darkness taker" I smirked. Adrian didn't say anything after that. We all organised what time we were going to head off in the morning until our meals came. Mine tasted the same as I remembered.
When we were all done, we headed up the stairs and said goodnight before going into our own rooms. Alex had gotten comfy on the sofa in Lissa and Christian's room, so we didn't need to worry about him. Tomorrow was going to be a big day, so we needed to get a good night's sleep. I had a shower before going to bed, so when I hopped in bed, Dimitri was already in there. Adrian was already fast asleep by the time I was in next to Dimitri. I snuggled up right on his chest. I could smell his aftershave, and his warmth was what put me to sleep. My sleep was uninterrupted that night, and when I woke up, I was ready for anything the day would throw at me.
