So here is the next chapter! Sorry it took so long to update but I needed an idea for where they first met. And stuff. So, like always, tell me what you think. And sorry for the typos and stuff. I always like writing and updating in the night because I get more inspired during the night. Thanks and please review!

I wish I owned VA but I don't!

"Did you know?"

"What?" I asked, looking at our hands intertwined on my lap.

"That this is where we first met."

I laughed. "Of course, it had to be here. Karma is a real bitch, isn't it?"

He shook his head. "No, I think Karma is wonderful." I wanted to say something but he silenced me with a kiss. "If not for it, we would have never met." I nodded and reached up to his lips.

"Do you know what the palmers touch is?"

"No…should I know?"

"It is something that all soul mates experience. When they touch, palm to palm, they share a vision. The vision where they first met. Where their souls connected first."

He put his palm on my palm so that we were touching with only our palms. Skin contact pulled us both into the same vision.

The first time…

I laughed once more at my best friend Lea. I was the future shaman of the tribe. I was supposed to be civilized and calm, but I was anything but. I was more of an impulsive girl. A girl who liked—no, well loved—I was a girl who loved to have fun. Lea was more of the calm one.

Lea was a pretty girl. She had eyes the color of spring. A better term, she had Jade green eyes. She had golden, blonde hair. Her looks made her look fierce but she was as mild as a newborn baby. She was pretty, but I was beautiful. Long, dark brown hair that almost looked black. Brown eyes that were as beautiful as the falling leaves in the autumn. I was beautiful according to most males in the tribe.

Both Lea and I had been borne into the Tribe of the Untamed Winds. It was a very natural tribe. We followed all rules our ancestors had left. Occasionally, I would like to amend to some of the rules.

"Lea…I don't know what to do other than laugh."Poor Lea. Her mother and father had already chosen who she was to mate. And it was the most unattractive lad our tribe had to offer. His name was Ceht, who had the bluest eyes in the tribe. I looked down at the bowl near my legs. Lea and I were supposed to be gathering food for the feast later on. Mother Kira was going to be mad. Old ladies got mad for whatever reason.

"Rosio, I am not the only one who has to find a mate soon."

"I am soon to be shaman; I can't be mating with males. It is against the religion."

She looked up at me with envious eyes. "Why do you always get everything you want?"

"I was born to have—"

I was cut short by a commotion from the river. Both Lea and I decided to go investigate what was happening. She dropped the bowl she was holding and she grabbed my hand and began running towards the cave where a crowd was gathering.

I could see a younger girl that I knew standing among the crowd with a hand over her mouth. "Maya!" I called out and she turned towards me.

She ran to me when she saw that it was I calling her. "Rosio! You must not go there! It is bad!"

I put my arm around her as she cried. As future leader of the tribe, I was encouraged to be the comforter of most. "Maya, do speak. What has happened in there?"

"It is Maciel! A rock collapsed on him…" She sobbed onto my chest.

Soon, it was me who needed comforting. Maciel was my alley. An alley that I trusted with my life. And now he was gone. I let silent tears fall out of my eyes. My knees gave out and Maya and Lea helped me sit down on the nearest rock. After a while, I saw everyone disappear. It was only me left near the cave where a tragedy had happened.

"Rosio…Mother Kira wants word with you." Lea said softly, setting her light hand on my shoulder.

I did not turn to face her as I wanted to be alone. "Tell her that I will be with her as soon as possible." I wiped some tears and began walking. "Tell her I have gone to the waters to soothe my disturbed spirit."

"Rosio? Be careful. Don't wander too far. Don't stumble in the Water tribe."

"I can't make any promises…" I whispered and went walking to the lake.

I only stayed no longer than a minute near the running waters. In truth, water did soothe me, but trees and nature soothed me more. It was why I coughed myself wandering the forests that belonged to the Tribe of the Wild Waters. Once upon a time, the oldest of the oldest of our people had made a treaty with the other tribe. One tribe would get the grasses and the other tribe would get the forests and everything else on that side. The Tribe of the Wild Waters and the Tribe of the Untamed Winds both liked bringing destruction on the opposite tribe. Death was given to the person who was caught breaking the treaty.

It was then when I heard them.

"Stop!" It was a group of big, strong men. They all had spears, arrows, and other sharp weapons. "Don't go any further or we will kill you!" I was am impulsive girl. I started running as fast and as hard as I could. It was a good thing that mother had tightened my animal skins or else my clothing would have been long gone. I ran, long and fast, trying to get back to the stream where our treaty line was. My lungs ached as I struggled to get air. But this was quite an adventure.

I realized my mistake when I came near the stream.

I had arrived to the stream, but I had gone to the wrong side. This was the deadly side of the stream, where all water would meet and this was where the water currents were most dangerous. If I fell in that, I would never come out. I could hear the men behind me.

Think, girl!

I noticed some shrubs near the lining of the forest. I ran as quickly as possible to them. I ducked down. Ignoring all pain the branches of the shrubs were causing, I hid myself in the bush. The men stopped running when they noticed that I was nowhere to be found.

"She went the other way!" One man shouted.

"Back to the village, you say?" Another one shouted.

The argued until a new voice spoke up. "She fell in the stream. She is as good as dead now. No point on looking for her any longer."

I watched through some of the gaps of the bush as all the men left. One by one, they were leaving.

"Thank you, Shannah, for saving my life." I whispered to the spirit that had helped me. I made quite some noise as I struggled to get out of the bush. It got the point where I screamed like a coyote.

"You can come out now. You are safe."

It was the man that had spoken last.

I looked up and met some astonishing pair of emerald green eyes. His eyes reminded me of the emerald bracelet my want-to-be mate, Dan, had given me. Those eyes were formed into the shape of large almonds. His hair was the color of a wheat field. There was only one word to describe this man. Beautiful…just like once someone had said to me.

I got of the bush as quickly as possible. I ran to him and grabbed his hands and thanked him. "Thank you! I owe you!"

He seemed so gentle. "It was my pleasure to help a beautiful woman like you." He put his hand over my cheek and I closed my eyes. "I know you…"

My eyes shot open. "No, you don't."

"Yes, I do. I dream about you every night."

"You must be mistaking me for someone else…"

"No…I know it's you."

I turned around to start walking back to my tribe. "Thank you for saving me, but I must go now."

"I hope this isn't the last time I see you."

"Thank you for everything…"I started running back but he was just as fast as I was.

"Don't go yet." He sighed. "At least if you must go…at least tell me your name."

"Rosio…"

"Rosio…the girl of my dreams, the reason of my existence."

"How could you say those things when you don't even know me?"

"Rosio, you were the one I was destined to be with." He looked up at the sky. "Our lady Shannah has told me as so."

"I must go. Others are wondering where I had wandered off."

He said something else but I did not hear because I was already gone.

Several months passed by. And as he had promised, I saw him every night. I had learned to love him and admire him. It got to the point where I had fallen in love with him. He was the gentlest man I had ever met. He was something so different. He was my man. I had learned that his name was Adrhan.

"Don't you know what it is called when it rains and you don't have what you love with you?"Adrhan asked one night as we lay on the grass. We had just finished sharing a wonderful night, where a lot of skin on skin contact was involved.

My eyes were closed as he caressed my skin. "Should I know?"

He laughed onto my face. It was like another caress. "Well, they are called Tears of Heaven."

"That is sure something…"

"Adrhan!" Someone called out.

"Rosio! Hide!"

I didn't move fast enough because someone from his tribe came into the clearing where Adrhan and I were.

"Adrhan! What is the meaning of this?!" The man seemed so mad that steam was coming out his eyes. Oh, it sure must be a pleasant sight to see a member of your tribe naked with an enemy.

"Stahn!" Adrhan was at loss for words.

"I must report this!"

He stalked off and Adrhan turned to me. "Rosio! You must run as fast as you can to your tribe! Be safe! Remember I love you no matter what!"

I started running and before I could go anywhere, I was stuck in the arms of Dan, who was a member of my tribe. Where Stahn and Dan onto something? Had they planned this?

"Where do you think you are going?" He asked, smiling evilly.

"Dan! How could you…"

He slapped me across the face. I could hear Adrian struggle. He was being tied with ropes. "Don't speak, unless I tell you to!" He smiled cruelly again. "Now watch and enjoy this show."

I gasped for air. Dan and Stahn were gone now after they both had had their turn to rape me. They had beaten Adrhan, not to death; I could hear him struggling for breath and life. I was in the same shape as him.

"Rosio, you are going to survive this." He grabbed my hand in his. "Promise me that you'll live for me."

"Don't say goodbye, yet. People will come and help us." I gasped out.

I had gotten the worst of the wounds, but I knew Adrhan would leave this world much sooner than I would. I would follow after him seconds after he left. I just knew this.

"I love you…" He whispered. It was the first time he had ever said those words to me.

"I love you, too." And this was my first time saying those words to him. I wish we would have said those words sooner. We would have gotten more time to savor the moment. But now, it was too late. We would both die here.

A light was forming before our eyes. And the lady Shannah herself was materializing. "Dear young ones, do not worry. You will many chances at being together. This was your first lifetime being together, but it won't be the last." She ran her hands over our foreheads and started chanting. "Fear not, you two are destined to be. Of course, there will be obstacles that you have to overcome. But there will be a lifetime, eventually, where you two will be together and everyone who wanted to come in your way will be deceased." She started disappearing.

"Bless be…" were her last words before she disappeared.

The sky roared and Tears of Heaven started pouring out, wetting our lifeless bodies, though are souls still connected as one, like they would always be…for eternity.

"That was something…" I was too dazed and shocked of what I had just seen.

"I agree." He sounded far away.

We stayed quiet for some time. The sun was starting to rise again. It would be hell if one of my instructors caught me out here.

I sighed in his arms. "I don't want to go…but I have to leave soon. I need some sleep. Although I do wish I could sleep. Nightmares have been invading my dreams ever since I met you. Why?"

He chuckled and I sighed. Another silence slipped between us.

He stood up and gave me a kiss. "Are you sure you don't want some company?" He asked, looking into my eyes, his hand reaching mine, intertwining our fingers. "I could keep the nightmares away."

I giggled. "I know you could, but you can't come in my room, you dummy." I said, tapping his nose.

"Rose, have I ever told you about my awesome ninja skills?" I started giggling again.

I sighed. The sun would not stop rising would it? I began pulling away from Adrian. "I have to go now, or else they might bust me for disobeying curfew. And it will be worse if they catch me with a guy."

"Okay, then. One last kiss?" He didn't even wait for an answer. He just took my lips over, and, of course, my lips surrendered to his. He kissed me hard, and hungry; he tipped me back and kissed me hard and deep. "Well, my beauty, you need your rest." He gave me one last kiss. And waited till I was around the corner to finally leave to his room.

Before I could disappear, he called out to me. "I love you, Rose! Always have, always will! Love you, little dhampir!" All he heard was my soft laugh.

As soon as I fell asleep, once I was tucked in my bed, I discovered that this was the first night Adrian Ivashkov invaded my dreams.

Adrian, you damn dream walker, where are you when I sleep?

Lol! Review!
