As we reached Mark's and Oksana's house I was beginning to wonder why Dimitri asked if I could stay at their house. Once we got there I had a feeling that something was going to happen but I didn't know what it was.

"Ro, how've you been," exclaimed Grandma as she ran outside to hug me.

"I've been good Grandma," I replied as I hugged her back.

"Come on, we'll talk instead, we have something to tell you and someone to show you,' said Grandma as she pushed me inside.

"What's going on Grandma? Oh, and hey Oskana, hey Mark, how have you guys been," I asked them; this was very strange behavior for them.

"Well, Ro, we've been keeping something from you. Actually, rather than a something its more of a someone," Grandma answered me.

"Okay, what is it? It can't be that bad, can it?" I asked her sarcastically.

"What Janine is trying to say is that well, you have a brother; a twin brother to be exact, and he's here to see you. Ruşen, please come out already, she'll find you here sooner or later." Grandpa called out.

A boy came out; He was about my age with mom's hair and Dimitri's eyes, then he spoke. "Nice to finally meet you Rozalia or can I call you Ro," he asked me. He seemed nice.

"You can just call me Ro, but you haven't told me what your name was yet," I pointed out.

"Sorry, my bad. My name is Ruşen Mason Belikov Hathaway; I'm your long lost twin brother," he told me but how is that even possible.

"How is this possible? Mom didn't write anything down in her diary," I questioned.

"Ro, your mother never had the chance to write it down and it was her wishes that we made two copies of her diary. Ro, one was for you and the other one was for Ruşen," Grandpa told me.

As I thought about it, it all made a lot more sense and as if I was acting on impulse I ran to Ruşen, my long lost twin and gave him a hug as I cried on his shoulder. After a moment he hugged me back just as tight and throughout this whole event I wonder how mom would react if she sees that we're back together again after all those years. Grandma and Grandpa were crying also as they watched us.

"Well, I'm sure you're all tired after all this information we just gave you. Oh, and Janine and Ruşen, we're all going to have breakfast with the Belikovs tomorrow," Grandpa informed them.

"Okay Grandpa. Can Ruşen and I share a room for tonight I want to catch up with him," I asked Grandpa. He somehow agreed to that. Probably because he knew that we needed some brother sister bonding.

Throughout the whole entire night we asked each other questions about each other and how our lives have been so far and I found out that he was the older one but only by a couple of minutes. He also knew that Dimitri was our father and he agreed with me when I told him that I was going to hide whose daughter I was until the time was right. Apparently he was going to do that also when he meets everyone tomorrow. Eventually we fell asleep from all the questioned and we both fell into a deep sleep and dreaming of our mother.

The next morning Grandpa, Grandma, Ruşen, and I made our way to the Belikov's house. When we were about half a mile away from the house a figure was running towards us. Ruşen, Grandma and I went to our defensive stances fearing the figure thinking it was strigori. As the figure came closer we realized that the figure was only Dimitri on his morning run. As he approached us he slowed his running to a jog to a walk and then fully stopped in front of us.

"Hello Abe, Rozalia. Are you guys heading down for breakfast now? Dimitri asked us.

"Yes, we are Guardian Belikov. I suppose you're training right now, are you not." Grandma asked with a hint of hate in her eyes.

"Uh, yes. I thought I should get some training in before breakfast. Who might this be?" He noticed Ruşen besides me for the first time.

"This is Ro's long lost twin brother," answered Grandpa.

"Nice to meet you Guardian Belikov," greeted Ruşen but there was a hint of hate to his greeting.

"Hello to you too. I was just about to come tell you that breakfast is ready."

"Okay thank you Guardian Belikov"

This first meeting wasn't as bad as I thought it would have been and as we reached the Belikov house I had a strange feeling that something was going to happen today. Whether it was good or bad I don't know but somebody was going to get hurt and I know just who it was going be.

As we entered the Belikov house the scents of freshly made eggs and beacon washed over me, we all entered the kitchen together before I had anytime to find a seat Yeva, my great-grandmother came up to Ruşen and I and hugged us. I can safely say that that surprised the both of us but before she pulled back from us she whispered to us, " I am so sorry my great-grandchildren about how your father treated your mother and I hope that you two will formally join the family with your real identies soon." Then she walked away like nothing happened.

"Well, come on Ro, Ruşen, why don't you two take a seat and have some breakfast first before you two go sparring in the back yard," Grandpa chuckled and Grandma was struggling not to laugh at Grandpa's silliness.

"Well Grandpa, how did you know that we wanted to spar with each other," I asked as I made my way towards them with Ruşen in tow.

"Well, you two are your mother's children after all, she would punch someone if anyone got in her way, especially when it comes to fighting," Grandma replied as she handed us plates.

"You know she's right, from what I could understand from mom's diary she was not someone who you wanted to piss off," this time Ruşen was the one who added the statement but I knew he was right.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that. Your mother was always all talk and no bite. She was such a blood whore," Tasha whispered that last part but Grandpa, Ruşen, and I heard it and that just made my blood boil. So I decided to talk back but Ruşen beat me too it.

"Your one to talk Lady Ozera. From what I understand you were the blood whore back when you were in school and now as it appears that that has not changed," Ruşen replied as he drank his coffee. How did he know that about Tasha, I didn't know that, and as if he was reading his mind he asked my unspoken question," I did my research before I got here," he winked at me and I laughed but it was cut short by Tasha's snorting.

"Just what I expected from Rose, the blood whores, children," she sneered and that was my breaking point as I gathered the darkness around me I burst.

"TAKE THAT BACK YOU SCAR-FACED BITCH. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. MY MOTHER WAS A GREAT MOTHER AND A GREAT GUARDIAN," by this point I was yelling and everyone was staring at my outburst but if that scar-faced bitch doesn't shut her moth soon I'm going to break every bone in her body.

"And why should I WHEN ITS ALL TRUE," she shouted back at me back that was her biggest mistake she has ever made in her life.

Out of nowhere I lunged at her over the table and gave her a right hook at her jaw and it satisfied me as I heard that cracking sound that told me that it broke, after that all hell broke loose. As I continued to punch the living day lights out of the scar-faced bitch the darkness around me started to take over as my eyes turned from a chocolate brown to a black mid-night color and my rage getting the best of me. My mind went blank as I felt someone pull me off of Tasha and without a doubt it was Ruşen. Even though I knew it was him but it didn't stop me from thrashing and fighting to get out of his restriction lock.

"Ro, you have to calm down, okay, the darkness is starting to take over and you have to fight it for control and if you don't then you'll be consumed by the darkness," he whisper into my ear but I didn't listen to him.

"I don't care she has to pay for what she said about mom. She's the reason mom left and she's the reason we're not a complete family! If not for her than mom would still be here," as I cried out and got out of Ruşen's lock I lunged for Tasha again but stopped when a light appeared from mom's diary and I blacked out.
