I was expecting this, it was about time Lissa moved back to court but it wasn't if we couldn't contact each other but still I would miss her we hadn't had much time to talk or anything during her brief stay in Turkey. Their departure was uneventful but it did increase the sense of loneliness in the atmosphere around me, sure Dimitri was great but he wasn't a girl and just didn't understand sufficiently while my father was the same and my mother became increasingly moody with her due date looming closer everyday, like mine. God help my father and Dimitri having two pregnant Hathaways under the one roof!

TIME PASSES

My mother's water had broken and we had all rushed to the nearest hospital. Thankfully everything went according to plan and Ibrahim Junior was born. Unlike me he was taking my father's surname as they were due to be getting married. He was just the cutest baby ever! His features were all very similar to my fathers but with my mothers flamy hair. It was love at first sight and I just all of a sudden could not wait to have one of my own. Much to my delight Dimitri was in love with him too but that didn't surprise me, he struck me as one with strong , moral, family values.

Time flew by and little Abe started to get so much bigger but he still didn't do anything remotely interesting although he did mean I had more experience for when it came to my own child. We had decided that if it was a boy we would call it Mason Dimitri Belikov and then if it was a girl Yeva Roza Belikov. It was true that myself and Dimitri still had to marry but they were his and we are together so it makes sense. I was getting bigger and bigger as the days went by and I was looking forward to just having my baby and getting back to the gym!

TIME PASSES

God who'd have thought having a baby would be that draining I for one am in no rush to have a second child for quite awhile. That is not however to be taken up that I regret having little Mason. A fine little healthy baby that looks sooo like Dimitri it's unreal and I hate to have to leave them but I owe it to Adrian to find him and restore or kill him, preferably the first. I couldn't bear the thoughts of a world without Adrian whether he be Moroi or Stirgoi but staking him with a spirit induced stake would be no easy feat either. I had decided not to tell any of my family incase they would try stop me. My mother and father were so caught up in their wedding planning that they hadn't seemed to have noticed how quite I have been lately. Dimitri has but I told him it just slight post-natal depression and he believes me. I have also refrained from telling Lissa incase she tells on me, for my own good health but still I owed it to Adrian. As soon as Mason had been born I started my scheming. I hoped it would be worth it and that at least myself or Adrian would survive, it would be much too painful for Dimitri to lose both of us. While Dimitri isn't overly fond of Adrian he would still be broken by Adrian's death due to the bond and he was struggling as it was to deal with his absence, shut off from his emotions but aware that somewhere, somehow he was still alive, well still walking, talking and killing at any rate.

"Hey Roza, you okay? You're a lot quiter than usual"

Wow that was bad I was ever so quite anyway.

"I don't know Dimitri. I guess I just really miss them. . . ."

"Who's them?" he asked

"Adrian and I've kinda been thinking a lot about Mason too and how it was all my fault, both of them. Why do I end up harming or killing everybody I love?" I cried my composure know completely gone possibly due to the fact I planned on leaving tomorrow and may never make it back to him.

"Oh Roza, everybody makes their own choices neither Mason's death or mine or Adrian's change is your fault. The blame lies solely on each person and nobody else other than of course their predators."

God I would miss Dimitri and his Zen personality. I loved him so much but I knew that in the morning I would still leave because I was the kind of stubborn person that made up their mind and stuck to their plan, no matter what may happen.

Dimitri pulled me into a bear hug and I couldn't resist kissing him. Right now I needed him, it may be the last night we ever spent together and he wasn't even aware of it. It was sweet and when I woke up in the middle of the day when everybody else was sleeping I was heartbroken leaving them. I kissed Dimitri softly and then went over to Mason who was fast asleep in his crib and kissed him goodbye too. I then left a letter for Dimitri explaining my absence on the bed where he would be expecting to find me in the morning seeing as I am not an early riser! I tip-toed out of the house without a soul seeing me and embarked in my journey to save or kill my best friend, Adrian Ivashov, from his state of damnation.

(okay guys I had originally meant to do all of this from Rose's point of view but somethings just can't be done that way)

DIMITRI'S POV

I woke up to an empty bed, how unusual Rose was never up early, maybe she couldn't sleep and had gone to the gym, it wouldn't be the first time since Mason was born but she generally went in the evening so she would be tired and get a good nights sleep. I rolled over to go back to sleep and heard something crunching underneath me like a sheet of paper. I got up and looked fr it before being devastated by the words written on it:

Comrade,

Seeing as your reading this I am guessing you have just woken up to an empty bed and I am long gone. I am so sorry I didn't tell you I was leaving but I knew you would try to stop me or worse still demand you join me. I can't allow that you see, we have more than ourselves to think about now. I refuse to have mason grow up without either of his parents. I don't know if I'll ever be back and I couldn't risk neither of us ever getting back to him.

I am presuming you have guessed where I am gone- to restore/kill Adrian and release him from the hell he is living in. I told nobody of my plan to leave so I apologise for leaving it to you to break the news to everybody, not even Lissa knows of my plan. I couldn't risk it being tampered with.

I love you Dimitri, and mom and dad, and Mason and Abe, and Lissa and Christian, but this is something I have to do, I, we owe it to Adrian, he has done so much for us, for me.

I love you and Mason with all my heart Comrade but this is something I have to do, to repay Adrian for all he has ever done for me.

I'm sorry.

Love,

XXXROZAXXX

I couldn't believe it, she had gone and I had allowed her to. I had swallowed all the lies she told me. How could she do this? Just leave. I thought she loved us? But maybe that's not the same as trust? God Roza had a tendency to muddle my thoughts. . . .

I don't know how long I sat there just re-reading the note Roza had left. It was clear she had been upset when she was writing it as her hand writing was even worse than usual and tears had stained the pages. If she had been that upset then why did she leave? My inner conscious was dementing me. I was woken from my deep thoughts by a baby's cry, my four year old son's cry to be exact. I guessed it was time to face the music and break the news. I sighed before picking Mason up and going downstairs to breakfast.

Okay guys, Love it? Hate it? Please let me know I'm open to constructive critism and compliments! :-)
