It was a quite drive as both my parents sensed I wanted to be left alone. They spoke softly with each other in Turkish and I nodded off to sleep.

I was having a peaceful sleep but it didn't't last long as I son felt Adrian's pull and I appeared in front of him. I was not wearing my little diamond ring but I couldn't't tell if that was Adrian's intention or not, until he brought it up

"Where's your ring little Dhampir?"

"We broke up". Thankfully Adrian had the tact not to ask questions he just pulled my into a monster hug

"That bastard" .

I don't know how long we stood hugging before he pulled away

"Rose, Lissa wants you to come back. She really regrets your fight. She needs you, the darkness is becoming to much for her without you-"

"Of course nobody wants Rose she's just a little slave to answer one's beck and call-"

"That's not what I mean and you know it Rose" he reprimanded me.

I sighed I knew he was right, I could feel all Lissa's emotions and knew she had just been momentarily overcome by the darkness and it had lasted longer than usual which would explain my rage and over reacting but I realised my pride was not going to let me admit that.

"I'm not going back Adrian. I've told her so many times to use less magic that it had a negative effect on both of us but she continued to use it and now I've lost my fiancée due to it. I can't forgive her this time."

Adrian just looked rejected and as if somebody had slapped him but he eventually found the ability to talk

"Your blaming her you can't do that, it's not fair. You made your own decisions Rose if you wanted to get back to Dimitri all you'd have to do is go back to him and he'd understand so stop being so proud and go back to him"

At this stage I was fit to burst with anger. Damn Lissa and her spirit I was losing everybody in my life because of her, if I lost Adrian I would go and kill her and accept being the Queen's killer once and for all. I realised Adrian knew exactly what I was thinking as he hugged me before the dream evaporated after one last look.

I awoke when we arrived at the airport and noticed I was now going to Turkey.

"Why are we going to Turkey?"

"Why wouldn't't we go to Turkey, I live in Turkey?" my father asked.

"Yea but me and mom don't, we live in America"

"Not anymore, your mother is pregnant it's not as if she can go around killing stirgoi at the moment and the last time I'd checked you aren't't talking to your best friend, who just happens to live in America, or your boyfriend who is now in Russia but will be returning to guard your once best friend." he said ever so slightly pissed off.

I can't say I blame him if he was acting this way I'd be annoyed myself. But whoa did he just say Dimitri would be guarding Lissa, when did that happen?

"What ? Dimitri will be guarding Lissa?"

"Yes Rose. He is the best guardian out there and she is presently the most important Moroi. What did you expect? That everything would happen like you wanted it to, that life would stop for other people just because you wanted it that way? Well just grow up cos life goes on." was all my mother had to say.

We boarded the plane to Turkey as I figured what the hell else was I meant to do. My parents were right life goes on and I need to grow on. I felt a splitting headache about to take place so I tried to drift off to sleep but failed. I ended up listening to some crappy music that the plane provided to try take my mind off things but all that happened was that I started thinking about Dimitri and his bad music choice.

I was so grateful when we landed in Turkey. I intended to take in this new country as it was my first time in it but I drifted off to sleep once the car started moving.

I woke up when we reached my dad's house or mansion more like it. I had no idea how long we had been driving but it must have been a long time as it was now dark. I took the house in. it was huge. From the outside it was two stories high and had too many windows to count. It was cream with a raspberry trim and looked like it was an ancient landlord's house or something before my father re-constructed it.

"You like?"

It was obvious my mother had been here before as she just walked in and made herself at home while my dad stayed outside watching me take it in.

"Yea" was all I could manage!

"Well come on in and see the rest of it".

I obeyed him and was further impressed when we got inside. The house was so elegant and regardless to whatever Sydney said it had a women's touch no doubt about it. The house was a very elegant, impressive building inside and out but it still had a homely feel which was odd as Dad was only one person and he'd been America for quite awhile.

I was brought into the living room and my suspicions were answered as Abe introduced me to the 'family' which consisted of around 10 servants, all of which looked very kind and 3 guardians that hadn't travelled with Abe. I looked at him questionably

"What you expect me to leave them all unattended when I'm away.?"

I was surprised with this new Abe but said nothing.

We went into the kitchen for a three course meal. it was lovely but I was afraid to ask what I was eating. By the time the meal was over I just wanted to leave I was fed up of the looks I was getting and the light banter going on around me. I also realised that my mother hadn't been much out of touch with Abe as she was very comfortable and knew all of the servants, Moroi and Dhampir, very well. This just further irritated me so I excused myself and went up to my room.

My room was huge. At one and there was my bed which was huge and dressed in cream bedclothes which suited the soft colours that my room was painted in. at the other end of my room was a couch and television with a DVD player. The case beside it was stacked with loads of my favourite films, if I wasn't so frustrated I would have plonked myself down inn front of the television for ages! But instead I lay down on my bed and drifted off to a light doze which was woken by my mother when she entered to talk to me.

"Rose, are you okay? Do you want to talk to me?"

I was touched by her concern but couldn't't bring myself to answer her. She came over and sat down beside me tucking a stray lock of hair behind my ear and wiping away a tear that escaped.

"Oh Rose, I'm sorry"

"Why? It's not your fault."

"Maybe not but my only daughter is just after losing her fiancée, if I was in your position I'd want somebody to talk to.""Yea but you've never been in this position have you?" I said maliciously which I knew was uncalled for but it escaped. My mother didn't't seem to mind.

"I've had my fair share of heart break Rose, I can relate"

Something snapped inside me

"No you can't! you were never engaged, you never had to deal with half the crap I did. Just leave me alone and send in someone that really cares!"

If I was my mother I would have slapped me but she didn't which surprised me, must be the pregnancy hormones.

"Oh Rose you don't know anything about my life"

"Oh really? I know you're the reason I never knew my father until it suited you, I know you left him, I know you left me ! What more do I need to know?"

"Rose where did you here that?"

"Sydney"

"Damn alchemists"

"I quite like her actually, it's not as if she told me something I shouldn't know."

She was prevented from a retort as Abe walked in oblivious to what was going on.

"Hey you okay? Settling well?"

I just glared at him.

"Ah I see I've interrupted something"

He went to back out of the room but my mother stopped him

"Abe I think it's the perfect time t tell her" she sent him a dashing smile and he looked worried so I knew something major was about to be said and I would be less than impressed.

"Emmm Janine I don't think now is the best timing"

"Oh no it's perfect timing Rose darling we are getting married"

With that she just walked up to my father pulled him in for a kiss and waltzed out of my room sending me a grin worthy of the Cheshire cat.
