Hello everyone! I know I have been horrible and not updated, but for some reason I didn't have the inspiration to write but I am back. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

R.P.V:

My eyes slowly opened and my head felt heavy with a pounding behind my eyes. Why was I on the floor? Suddenly everything came flooding back to me. I leapt to my feet and scanned the room looking for Dimitri.. No he wasn't gone he was probably in the next room talking to Stan and Jennifer, but that didn't explain him leaving me on the floor. Dimitri wasn't and couldn't be gone. Slowly, I opened the door and noticed bodies everywhere some groaned and others laid still with their eyes glazed over from death.

Only one word kept coming to my mind: no. My heart dropped and I raced over to Stan who was barely alive. I leaned over his body as he motioned me closer.

"Rose, Victor took Dimitri," his breathing was heavy and labored. I knew he didn't have much time.

"Stan just hold on I'll get help," I bargained hoping I would get more minutes with him.

"Rose, fight for your family and kill Victor at any cost. He has to die," Stan looked straight into my eyes.

I whispered back "I promise," and with that the life let Stan's eyes.

Victor chose to keep me alive and I knew exactly why. Victor wanted me to suffer and wanted me to know pain, but I wasn't going to let him win. I knew without a doubt I would get Dimitri back and Lissa would have her dream life. Victor was going to die.

L.P.V:

Christian took the kids to the park which gave me time to think. I couldn't plan a wedding when my future was uncertain and rocky. I hated that I couldn't fight for myself and had to wait hear any news like a sitting duck.

I ran my fingers through my hair and just wanted to cry. When did I get to have everything I wanted? When did I get to have babies and not worry if a psychopath was coming after those I loved? I looked down at my magazine in my hands and threw it across the room. I just wanted Rose here to help me!

Bzzzzzzz bzzzzz bzzzz I felt my phone in my pocket and grabbed it out.

"Hey ba-" I started but Christian cut me off.

"Lissa you need to listen to me carefully. We have to postpone the wedding and we have to go into hiding immediately. I'm on my way home now but Victor is Strigoi. Rose called and reported that he murder and kidnapped guardians including Dimitri. He isn't going to stop Liss, but Rose is coming home for a couple days to reassess and talk to the guardians here. I'm sorry Lissa I am," I heard the pain ring out in his voice.

Like a robot I responded "ok I'll go back a bag," then slowly hung up the phone.

I set the phone on the table and stared at it. I was tired of being weak. It was time for me to fight back. I went into Christian and I's room and began to pack some clothes.

Halfway through packing I heard Jacen and Amelia come barging through the door and Christian convinced them to play a game.

"LIss, I'm sorry," he kissed my forehead and placed Ada in her bouncy chair.

Numbness soared through my body and I fell into his arms hoping that somehow everything else would go away except him and me. I cried and held on tighter.
