Rose's POV

I needed help. Adrian may have been a huge idiot but it wasn't his fault. He used way to much spirit. Liss should understand that, but she wasn't in an understanding mood right now. I did the first thing that came to mind, I called Dimitri. "Hey," I said. "Can you come over and watch Katie for a little while?"

"Of course, Roza, I'll always be there for you," Dimitri said.

"Thanks, Dimitri. I'm leaving now. When you come just let yourself in," I said then hung up.

Tasha's POV

Stupid, stupid, Rose. She actual believed that was Dimika on the phone. Wrong. I used recordings of Dimitri. Finally I have her brat near my grasp. Rose obviously wants that child of hers to be Dimitri's, which is impossible, but Rose is to stupid to realize that. I had this all planed out. I would take and kill that little brat of Rose's. Then since my nephew's children are causing problems I take them. I'll have to act like the grieving aunt of course but that will only be acting. Nobody is going to stand in the way of our love.

I got to Rose's apartment and sure enough I was able to let myself in. I went into her child's room and saw she was asleep. Perfect. I can't kidnap a whinny squirmy child without getting caught. I put some necessary items in a bag, clothes, food, etc. I slung that over my chest then gently picked up the kid. Apparently she had Rose's sleeping habits and not whoever her father was because she stayed asleep. I quietly crept out of the room and into the hall with the child in my arms. I got to my car and put her in the trunk. I started driving. I couldn't exactly leave Court, I could be killed by a Strigoi and it would raise suspicions about leaving Dimka, but I also couldn't stay so close to, Rose. I went to the only three star hotel in Court. It was in the worse part of town which was where everyone went to plot to overthrow our precious Queen Lissa Dragmoir-Ozera. I drove to the back lock and parked. I got out and grabbed my 'bundle' from the trunk and brought her into my room. I tied her to the wheel-in-bed I had brought in here earlier and gaged her. I left soon after and climbed down the stairs to the basement. Everyone bowed down to me as I entered the room.

"Welcome Lady Ozera," one of the men said.

"Have you finally thought of the plan that will once and for all end the Dragmoir line and kill the queen, leader?" Nathan Ivashkov asked.

"I'm working on it right now," I said slyly.

"Well can you give us a little insight, Tasha?" Nathan asked.

"All will be revealed in due time my pet," I whispered.

Rose's POV

When I got to Adrian and Sydney's it was chaos. Sydney burst open the door on the second knock and screamed at me to help. I went into the apartment and took in the scene. Adrian was pinned up against the wall by a red faced Christian. Christian was holding Adrian in a choke hold and Adrian looked like if she didn't get enough air soon he would die. Andre and Emily were hiding behind Liss. Well it was more like Andrew was hiding behind Liss's legs with Emily in his arms. I stormed up to Sparky and threw him off Adrian. Adrian collapsed in a heap of arms and legs on the floor. Sydney rushed up to him and glared at Chris and Liss. "Rose what the hell are you doing here?" Christian yelled at me.

"Well when you're rudely transferred into your best friends head and see your other best friend being strangled to death your normal reaction would be to come other and save him!" I shouted back.

"He deserved it! He hurt Emily and Andre!" Christian yelled.

"What the hell, Adrian? Why'd you hurt them?" I was genially confused. Adrian treated those kids as his own. Once Sydney and him are finally married and there long engagement is over they're going to want kids.

"I…was…only...trying…to help…with…there…problem," Adrian gasped.

I turned on Christian, "What problem?" I asked through gritted teeth. How dare they keep something from me, especially something about Andre and Emily?

"Well…," Liss started, "Last night we found some burn marks on, Andre's, arms and earlier he had said he had felt someone burn, Emily, but she had no marks so we asked Adrian. Apparently they have some sort of bond even though they are both alive and well and only Emily is a spirit user."

"So you kept this from me. When were you planning to tell me? Or did you just plan on keeping this from me?" I yelled.

"Rose stop being so irrational. We were going to tell you but it obviously wasn't the most important thing on are minds at the moment," Christian said.

I growled low in my throat and lunged at Christian. Lissa yelled at me. Andre and Emily cried. I could only see red. I knew I was being irrational but I was so pissed. It may have had something to do with all the spirit darkness I had taken from Liss. I couldn't think straight. I heard the door open in the background but I didn't take much notice of it. My main focus was punishing Christian for leaving me out of there problems. I felt arms go around my waist and I was being lifted off of Christian. I struggled, trying to fight off this mystery person.

"It's okay, Roza. Everything is all right," I froze. That was Dimitri's voice. Dimitri shouldn't be here. He was watching Katie. Katie is still very weak and she shouldn't be going places. So why is he here?

"Where is Katie, Dimitri? You're not supposed to bring her outside of my apartment," I said dangerously quiet.

"What do you mean, Roza? I wasn't with Katie. I just came from Hans's office to see where I'm needed," Dimitri informed.

"I called you though. You told me you'd watch her," I said just keeping the anxiety at bay.

"I received no such phone call. I was with Hans all day," Dimitri said.

"Then who's with, Katie?" I asked in a panic.

"I'm not sure, Roza, but let's go to your house to figure it out," I followed Dimitri out the door and to his car. I got in and we drove to my apartment. I ran out before Dimitri had parked his car. I ran inside and instantly knew something was wrong. There was no cheery, Katie, to greet me. I ran into her room and her sheets were messy and she missing. Rummaging around in her draws I noticed that only the truly essential stuff was taken. I ran through my whole apartment and turned it upside-down. She was gone, some of her stuff was missing, and I had no clue where to start looking for her. I slid down to the floor and put my head between my knees.

"She's gone, she's gone, our daughter's gone," I muttered.

"What did you say, Roza?"
