I am SO SO SO sorry for taking so long to update! I have no excuse really, besides being busy, but I promise to try harder to update for you all!

Thank you to everyone who reviewed/favorited/followed last chapter!

My legs felt as if they were on fire, my body was dripping with sweat, and my throat was dry from lack of water. It must have been 100 degrees outside and we had been walking for four hours already, with little breaks here and there.

"Guys! Look, up ahead!" I looked up from the ground that I had been staring at. Light shone in between the trees… a city. We smiled. The city would be big enough to hide in for now, considering that it has a big population and it will be easy to blend in with the crowds.

Dimitri grabbed my hand and Mikhail trailed in front of us.

We all were eager to get to the city. It would protect us for now.

-C.F.M.,C.F.M.N.-

I sighed from exhaustion. We had finally reached a hotel to stay in for a few days. It felt nice to be able to sleep on a bed again, and not the floor. Dimitri was next to me snoring softly.

I owe him so much. He saved me.

I looked over to the other single bed that Mikhail was on.

My uncle…

I was filled with joy knowing that I had a family member who cared, and that can be with my right now.

Eventually I will have to go off to college, I had always wanted to. It was selfish, but I wanted Dimitri to stay. But I know he will have to leave, his family is back in Russia along with his friends.

Maybe I can convince him to stay…

But how?


So, what did you think? So now that they are "safe", Rose thinks Dimitri is going to leave... hmmm...

This story is far from over! A lot of drama is coming Rose and Dimitri's way! Review if you wish to :) Also I am going to try very hard to get back into my original updating plan (everyday, to every other day).

IMPORTANT(ISH)-

It has been pointed out a few times that in chapter 18 I mentioned Dimitri's father being at the table and talking, even though in previous chapters I have said Dimitri's father was dead. That is my fault and I am sorry for the confusion! Alexander (Dimitri's dad) is his step-dad! Sorry again!
