Viktoria and I went to the supermarket the next day. Sonya and Karolina had to work and the rest wanted to stay inside. Paul and Zoya claimed Dimitri. Dimitri is so good with the kids, he would be a great father, but I'm unable to give him a child.

'Vika!' yelled a boy of our age when we were near the supermarket. He seemed familiar to me, but I didn't know where I knew him from. 'Rose, do you remember Nikolai?' Viktoria asked. Now I knew where I knew him from. He was a friend of Viktoria. He adored her, but she didn't seem to notice. 'Hey Nikolai' I said. 'Hey Rose, isn't it? Viktoria told me you were back' he said. 'Why did you left? Why so abruptly?' he asked. 'The same reason why I came.' I answered. I glanced at Viktoria, but she said that Nikolai didn't know the true reason why I came. 'I didn't came because I had to tell the Belikova's about Dimitri. I didn't look for them, it was coincidence that I came there. It was the reason why I stayed. I felt like I needed to tell. It was safe and it felt nice to stay there. The true reason why I came to Siberia the first place was because I needed to kill Dimitri. I knew he would want someone to kill him, so I did. That's also why I left. I couldn't abandon him.' I said. 'But… you didn't kill him. Vika told me Dimitri is a Dhampir again.' He said. I nodded. 'That's one of the reasons why I'm back. I hesitated when I saw Dimitri. I couldn't kill him, even if I wanted to. When I came back to America, Dimitri followed me. My best friend, who is a spirit user, staked him, so he's back. I'm here with Dimitri' I said. 'Why don't you come with us?' Viktoria asked Nikolai. 'Then we're with the whole family' she continued. 'Are you two together now?' I asked. 'Yes' Viktoria and Nikolai both smiled. 'After what happened with Rolan I kind of broke. I didn't want to see anyone, and couldn't tell someone what happened. You were the only one who knew, but I still was angry about what you did, and I thought you would be angry about how I treated you. Besides that, no one knew where you were. We only knew you left with Denis and the others.' She said. 'She told me what happened and how she felt about you, Dimitri and everything else. I'm glad I was able to help her' Nikolai added. 'I was thankful, and began to feel more than only friendship. I remembered what you told me, that Nikolai adored me and yes… I adore him too' she smiled. I was happy to see her with him. We walked back to the house.

Dimitri sat in the living room. He was reading one of the Russian books. 'Hey comrade' I said, climbing on his lap. 'Do you want to train outside?' I asked. 'Of course I want' he said. 'Wait a moment, first I want to read this chapter' he said. 'Okay, see you in a few minutes' I said.

It still was a good training for me to fight against Dimitri. We are practically equal, but he still is better. Now it's good training for him too. Dimitri came, wearing his training clothes. We started to fight. It was like the fight during field experience at the academy, the night of the cabin. We know each other, he knows my moves, and I know his. I can see when he wants to attack, but so does he see too. We know our strengths, but we also know each other's weakness. We both were quick, but he was stronger. Once he would have me pinned, it's over for me. He has more power and more length and weight. Once I have him pinned, he can be able to break free, so I'll have to be quick. It still seemed like he already knew what I would do, but I knew it too. Once I was able to lead the fight, I was able to pull him to the ground. It's dangerous to do so, because you have less possibility's to avoid attacks. At the last moment he was able to pin me. 'Well done comrade' I said. I wanted revenge, but there was no time left. We both were exhausted.

We went back to the house and hade some dinner. Paul still kept asking Dimitri and me about our life at the academy. He still thought I was one of the Dhampirs with the molnija marks, but without the promise mark. I showed him the back of my neck. 'I graduated a few weeks before Dimitri came back. I have a promise mark' I told him. 'You got a lot molnija marks!' Paul said. 'How did you get so many marks?' he asked. I hesitated. Most of the kills were in Siberia, when I was in Novosibirsk. I searched for Dimitri, Strigoi-Dimitri. I hunted for the Strigoi. I didn't want to tell the whole truth. 'I've searched for Strigoi for a while' I said. Thankfully Viktoria changed the subject. 'What are you doing now you aren't at the academy anymore? I know you're guardians, but… how can you live together?' she asked. 'I'm guarding my best friend Lissa and Dimitri guards her boyfriend Christian. We live at Court, so we can have much time together' I said. 'Lissa… Do you mean Vasilisa Dragomir, who you talked about when you were here the last time? The girl who you are bonded with and the girl who is the youngest Queen since Queen Alexandra?' Olena asked. 'Yes, the same, but Lissa and I aren't bounded anymore, since I saved myself when Tasha Ozera tried to kill her and I jumped in front of her.' I said. 'How did that happen?' Sonya asked. 'We still don't know…' I said. I stopped; I felt sick. I reached for my stake. 'There are Strigoi!' I yelled.

Author's note: So, what do you think till now? What will happen next in the story?

What do you think about Viktoria and Nikolai?

I also have 2 questions for the story. Do you think Rose should call the Belikova's with their Russian name or shouldn't she? I think she shouldn't, because she doesn't call Dimitri Dimka (and I think that's right, because Tasha always called him so) but I just wanted your advice ;)

Ow, and, does someone knows a good title to this story? I'm not very good at creating titles, so I called it VA after last sacrifice, but yeah, it isn't very good :P

Last thing; for later in the story I need 3 Royal Guardians. Does someone know some names according to the story, or do I need to put own characters in it?

Next update will be monday ;) (maybe I won't update in the holiday, because I don't do much on my laptop then, so maybe you'll need to wait 2 weeks, but I'll update at least monday
