Okay, since I am on a fucking roll, making one new fanfiction, updating both stories, and putting two chapters into one in one day, I figured I might as well keep it going. Here's Chapter 15 of Off to Russia! ~PerfectlyAnnie101

LISSA

She paced back and forth in her room. She didn't know what to do. How in the hell were a badass guardian, a Moroi who knows how to fight and use magic as a weapon, and an innocent baby get kidnapped? It seemed impossible, but then again, vampires weren't even supposed to exist. She laid down on her bed and closed her eyes. Focus, Lissa. This is for Rose. You need to find them before it's too late. Dimitri… Dimitri, where are you? All of the sudden, Lissa was on a plane. Was this happening in real time? She wasn't sure as this had never happened before. She looked to Dimitri and sort of waved. He didn't see her. She tip-toed over to him and sat next to him. His head popped up. He couldn't see her, but he could sense her presence.

"Can you hear me?" Lissa asked.

"Yes, but where are you?" Dimitri whispered.

"I'm right next to you. Don't look, it'll make you look suspicious. How did this happen?" Lissa asked.

"Nathan. I thought Rose killed him, but he's somehow still alive." Lissa looked up and saw the blond guy.

"So that's who Rose meant by 'that blond bitch.'" Dimitri forced himself not to laugh. "How did he get into Court without the wards breaking?"

"Humans. There were humans that were working for me that are still alive. I guess after I left, they pledged their allegiance to him." Dimitri frowned.

"But they're humans. They don't have that kind of strength." Lissa frowned with him, not that he could see it.

"Not when they're injecting themselves with Strigoi blood like it's steroids." Dimitri muttered.

"HEY! Who are you talking too, Belikov?" Nathan snarled.

"No one, Nathan. Go back to pretending like you're better than everyone else." Dimitri said in a bored voice. Nathan glared daggers at him, but looked away.

"Where are you headed?" Lissa whispered even though she was sure that Dimitri was the only one who could hear her.

"Russia. Tell Rose it's the place where I kept her captive. She'll know." It seemed like Dimitri was pained that he had to go back there. He had to relive all of the horrible things he had done to Rose while being Strigoi.

"I'm fading so I won't be here much longer, but I remember Rose telling me about the safe. See if you can find out if it's still there. Also, make sure Mia doesn't let them know what affinity she has. Have her keep on asking for water. We'll be there as soon as we can." Lissa faded from the plane and woke up. When she was aware that she was back in her bedroom, she got up, quickly got dressed, and ran to Rose's room. Rose hadn't slept one bit. She was pacing. Her room was a mess. Things were thrown all over the place. She had grabbed a chair as soon as Lissa walked in to throw at her, but once she realized who it was, she threw the chair to the side and ran up to hug her.

"What did you find out?" Rose hiccupped.

"Pack your bag. We're going to Russia." Lissa said solemly.

"So, he's alive. Nathan's actually alive?" Rose asked with wide eyes.

"Dimitri was just as surprised about it as you were. Apparently, humans are injecting themselves with Strigoi blood to act as steroids. They were outnumbered. Mia's keeping Skylar quiet, but I'm not sure how long that's gonna last."

"Where in Russia are they?" Rose asked fiercely.

"Don't freak out, but they're taking them to where he kept you hostage." Rose took this all in like she could use it to her advantage.

"I can do that. I know where everything is, unless things have been changed there, but I doubt it. Strigoi hate change." Rose said as she grabbed a duffel bag. She put a couple pairs of clothes in there, bottles for Skylar, formula, two silver stakes – one for her and one for Dimitri, but for the time being, someone else would be holding the stakes. Rose looked to Lissa, "You know you can't go right?"

"Yes I can and yes I am." Lissa said firmly.

"Bullshit you can go. You are the Queen. That makes you a target. I cannot watch you while trying to save everyone else. You stay here with Christian and I'm gonna talk to Hans about getting a rescue team in place." Rose said sternly.

"Fine." Lissa opened her cell phone and called Hans. "Rose needs you here at her house. Now." Not even five minutes later, Hans came through the door and saw the destruction.

"What the hell happened?" He asked incredulously.

"No time," Rose said. "Dimitri, Mia, and Skylar have been kidnapped by Strigoi. The same Strigoi that I fought in Russia who was thought to be dead. I know where they're going and I need a rescue team set up."

"You fought a lot of Strigoi in Russia though from what you told me." Hans looked at her with a frown.

"This one I would never forget. I would spot him a mile away." Rose growled. "Did you know humans can use Strigoi blood as steroids?"

"No, I didn't even think that was possible." Hans looked surprised.

"Well, that's how they got kidnapped. They were taken off guard by people twice the strength of them and they take an innocent baby." Rose clenched her fists.

"Okay, Hathaway. You know where we're going. You lead the way. Wheels up in 30." Hans rushed out of the room to go get the team ready. Rose looked at Dimitri's stake. How could he not have gotten it in time even if they weren't Strigoi? She thought.

"Lissa, stay here and continue to dream walk with Dimitri. You hear anything new, you call me immediately. I don't care what time of day it is. If I don't pick up, text me. If I don't respond to your text or phone call, then something happened. I guarantee nothing will, but we need to prepare for anything." Rose went into full on Guardian mode. Lissa pulled her into a hug.

"Bring everyone back safely, but most importantly, bring yourself back." Rose hugged her back tightly and walked out the door to the jet. No one messed with her family and got away with it. Nathan was going to regret what he did.

Short chapter but it builds up to an awesome one! Two chapters for two different stories in one day and I'm not even tired, not that I plan to stay up until 6 again because I was miserable omg. I hope you enjoy this chapter and many more to come! ~PerfectlyAnnie101
