I woke up somewhere dark and felt relief that I could breathe again. The room was huge but looked more like it was for testing things that would kill you instead of actual people. I heard a door open and saw none other than the bitch herself standing there.

"What the fuck do you want?" I growled as I put a defensive hand over my baby. She didn't say anything but simply smiled as she put a bowl on the floor and kicked it over to me. I looked at it more closely and saw that it was a dog bowl with some scraps of food in it.

I looked up at her and, though I knew I was probably going to regret it, I picked it up and hurled it at her. I must've hit her hard because she hit the floor and grabbed her head. She looked up at me with a bit of blood coming from her hair and I grinned sweetly at her.

"That's meant for dogs. I thought you were confused." She got up and a flame formed in her hand. I curled up, protecting my bump from anything, and got ready for the pain and flames. But they didn't come.

"Tasha, that's not how we treat our guests. Besides I want her in good condition when I kill her. If you're going to be a mother you need to learn when to control your temper." Robert said as he walked over to help her up.

I tried to rush to my feet to run after him and was immediately kept down. I turned and on my ankle was a chain, bolted into the ground. I pulled on it hopelessly and heard laughter behind me. I turned and glared at them when I realized there was a third person there. The air user who'd put me under smiled sweetly.

I looked closer and then saw her features more closely. There was no way, I'd have never though in a million years. But she was here and staring at me menacingly.

I didn't know how fast we were going or what the speed limit was. Janine hadn't been too thrilled that her daughter had been kidnapped. Neither had Abe, but they were the only people who could think up a plan to get her home safe and the only people capable of finding her.

"This is the last time we leave this court, Ibrahim. After we find Rose we're not going anywhere for a long time." Janine growled. Christian and Lissa had left with some of the other guardians to maintain some things at court, so that left me with Abe and Janine.

"I'm not pleased that she's missing. She's a big girl, Janine. She can take care of herself and God knows she's got enough of us in her to be a lethal weapon to anyone she thinks is a threat." He grinned as he said "The pregnancy just made it worse."

I could feel her eyes burning holes in my skin and can't explain how bad her next words burned. "I know that. I just don't think she is in the hands of someone who can keep her and her child safe."

Abe sighed and took her hand. "I know but she is a big girl. It's not our place to choose who she loves."

"I just want her with someone who—" I cut her off then.

"Could you stop your complaining and wait for us to have this conversation after we find her?" I growled and felt my hand tighten on the steering wheel.

I saw her expression change from frustration to put anger, Abe however found it quite amusing. "I think you just scored some points with me, Belikov."

I knew he was also trying to get me to calm down a bit, but the only thing I could think of was finding Rose. If she was hurt or worse… no. I couldn't afford to think like that. That would mean there was no hope or reason to look for her. She was out there and she needed me.

Abe pulled out his phone and looked at it for a split second before smiling. "Turn to you left."

Lorraine grinned at me as she walked over to put an arm on Tasha's shoulder to steady her. Afterward she started inspecting her head and I groaned.

"Never pegged you as a lesbian, Tasha." She kicked the bowl back at me and I felt a gust of wind hit me in the face, knocking me back down on the mattress.

"No, Dimitri is the only one for me. But sisters are supposed to care for each other very much. Even half-sisters." Tasha grinned at me and I crawled back a little. My face was definitely bruised but I could handle that.

What I couldn't handle was how the three of them were edging closer. Lorraine bent down and stared at me with those dark gray eyes, her blonde hair framing her face and in any other situation she would look like an angel. But the minute her hands touched my stomach and squeezed causing pressure. Enough to hurt me, but not the baby.

I punched her in the face and tried to get up again when a slight pain in my ankle reminded me, I wasn't going anywhere. I felt someone grab my hair and I turned into Robert. His sinister smile and green eyes were alight with anger and insanity.

I felt a tear slide down my face. He let go of my hair and pushed me back on the mattress before getting back up. "Don't worry. You won't be crying much longer." I kicked him in the back of the knee and he staggered to the ground. He punched the shackle around my ankle and I felt it loosen up.

"So what's the plan? Kill me and the baby, run for the rest of your life, go to the guardians and beg for mercy? Killing me isn't going to help you, Tasha." She smiled at me as she and Lorraine helped pick Robert up.

"No, we go back and tell our own story. I had a change of heart and tried to save you. Robert stabs you and leaves you to die. Lorraine and I come to save you, but you die during child birth, I come back to Dimitri and this baby calls me mommy and I spend every night in the arms of my lover." She growled and rubbed my stomach but Lorraine had already pinned my hands, so there was no way I could hit her.

"That might work. If he wouldn't fucking kill you on spot. He hates you and you are the last person he would ever leave our child with." She slapped me, hard enough that my face turned.

"We'll just have to see about—" I spit in her face before she could finish. She was about to hit me again when a gun shot rang through the house.

"Rose!" Dimitri's voice rang through the halls and I could hear other footsteps. The door slammed open and revealed my very pissed off parents and my very pissed off boyfriend. I also kicked the shackle off of my leg and hit Tasha across the face.

***oh boy. Here we go we're getting closer and closer now. not much longer left and I have decided the baby's name and gender. Thanks for the suggestions you guys R&R for the next chapter and thank you for all of your support. You guys are amazing.
