Katie's POV
I was scared. I was still sick and this crazy woman took me from my comfy bed while I was sleeping, sleeping. I love to sleep. I'm like my momma in that way. We can't stand being dragged out of bed, especially, to be kidnapped by a psychopath. She's a nutcase. She has been coming and going from here for hours now. I have been loosely tied to the cot I was unceremoniously dumped when we had first arrived. The first time she had come back from one of her little outings she looked too pleased. I was curious as to why, but didn't ask. I didn't want her to stick around any longer than needed when I was in the middle of a discussion with my cousins. We were talking through, Emily's, head. None of us knew how it works, except, maybe, Emily, but she couldn't talk even through the mind so she couldn't tell us. Andre can sense, as he calls it, Emily's feelings and stuff, but I can't. Mind talking to them is hard when we aren't near each other so it was taking all my concentration just to keep up the link on my side, so when crazy woman comes in and out at all hours it gets exhausting. I was trying to get them to tell Auntie Lissa and Uncle Sparkly where I was.
This woman was also stupid. She didn't even blindfold me, though, I have a photographic memory. The trunk of her car had a big window so all I had to do was look for the street signs we passed. I now knew how to guide my rescue crew to me.
"Then a right on the road headed out of Court so now you are in the bad part of Court," I thought.
"Okay I told daddy. What next?" Andre asked.
"Next are two hard lefts almost instantaneously then you'll see a hotel. The sign out front says, 'Minute-man'. I'm hoping to have escaped by then but if not it's the only three star hotel around the area. That's it. Please tell them. I think this woman has a few screws loose in her noggin," I said.
I stopped focusing on are mind connection and it went away. I started working on the ties that bound my hands. They were put on loosely, but well. I was going to have to dislocate my shoulder if I could get out. When mamma would take me to the gym because nobody could watch me I saw her dislocate different peoples' shoulders, including Uncle Eddie. It looked like a painful process but it had to be done. I moved so I was sitting up and twisted my body at an awkward and painful angle, then fell forward until I felt it move out of place and heard a terrible pop. This whole time I made no sound even though I was silently crying and had bit my lip so hard it bled. I disentangled myself from the rest of the ties that had held me and crawled to the end of the cot. Slipping down, I headed towards the exit while cradling my arm to myself. All of a sudden, the door opened and I took a hesitant step back. It was my captor. I looked into her crazy eyes and only saw the most horrific blood red color. I tried running past her and out the door but I was thrown across the room into the wall. All I saw before blacking out were those terrifying eyes looking at me in hunger.
Rose's POV
I was mindlessly muttering things and somehow I let it slip. In my tiny breakdown I accidently told Dimitri he's Katie's father.
"What did you say?" he asked in a stern voice. I swore inwardly.
I quickly decided that I couldn't keep lying. I wanted to, but I knew it was time he should know the truth. "I am going to start from the beginning so no interrupting me, okay?" I asked. Dimitri nodded, so I began. "Since that night in the cabin I had felt strange. One day I was really sick and had to be taken to the infirmary. They had run all these tests and they showed I was pregnant. I was shocked. I thought this was impossible because the only man I had ever been with was you. I stayed in the infirmary all day and finally thought that maybe this could have happened because of my spirit bond with Lissa. I would have told you but you already left. I tried calling for weeks. I felt so alone and scared. I just wanted you to be there for me. I eventually, when I couldn't hide it any longer, told Lissa, Christian, Adrian, and Eddie. Sydney and Jill found out later. They were all so nice and helpful towards me. I even told everyone you were her father. When she was born she even looked like you. I named her Katherine-Marie Nadia Hathaway. I always told her stories about you when she asked. She has always asked where her father was and I still was trying to contact you, to at least kill you for leaving us. Katie wanted her father. I never meant to keep her from you, that was your doing."
Dimitri's POV
I was so angry towards Rose. She lied to me this whole time I've been here. I was even angrier at myself. I was the one who left her. I was the one who couldn't pick up my damn phone to check if I had a daughter, even though I never heard it ring. She is my daughter and it is my responsibility to know that. I wasn't there for the first couple of years of her life but that stops today.
"You should have told me the first second you saw me again, but I can't blame you for everything else. We are going to find her Roza, and once we do I will be there for her," I vowed.
A/N Hey guys thank you all for the wonderful reviews. I tried to put this up as soon as possible because this is probably the last chapter I will be able to write while I'm on break. I probably won't be able to update as often but I will try. I'd like at least four reviews. I'm not trying to be that person who won't write until I get reviews but I really need to know how I'm doing. Thanks guys.
