Rose is gone. I should have been able to save her. Two Guardians dragged her out before I had time to react. Every time I replay that moment in my mind, I hear Rose scream my name, over and over again. It kills me to know that I wasn't there for her when she needed me. My goal now, is to find Rose, wherever she may be. So I beg you not to worry, and I will come back to Baia. With all the love in the world, Dimitri.
I put down my pen. I doubted that my mother would worry, but better to be safe than sorry. Rose had been taken just a few hours ago, but there was no time to waste. I had already packed a change of clothed, my credit card, and my stake, so I grabbed my bag and ran out the door, stopping briefly next door at my family's house, leaving the note on the doorstep. Then, I got in our car and drove towards the airport, calling Adrian on my cellphone. He picked up at the first ring.
"What do you want?" Adrian said, rather sharply.
"Lord Ivashkov, I need you to dream walk with Rose." I said, calmly, trying to be polite. We had a little argument over Rose a year before.
"Why?" Adrian seemed curious now. I sighed, then continued.
"She was taken just a few hours ago. I have no clue where she is! Please Adrian, you've got to help me!" I said, getting frantic, forgetting to use his proper name.
"Whoa. So your telling me Little Dhampir was taken by force?" I could tell he didn't believe me.
"Yes!" I said, wanting to get done with this conversation. I was getting really frustrated.
"Okay, then. I'll see what I can do." And then, he hung up. I slammed down the phone and rubbed my face. Adrian cared about Rose, and would do anything for her, but I wasn't sure he'd do anything for me.
I stopped at a walk in motel for the night, hoping to stay out of sight until Adrian contacted me again. Now, there was nothing to do but wait.
