Rose POV time jump 3 years
I was walking alongside Dimitri and Jenna (our 3 year old daughter) to return home from her school. Chelsea is also 3 now so it's a bit difficult taking care of two toddlers, but with Johnathon being 11 it's easier because he helps Dimitri and I a lot. Dimitri and I got married when I was three months pregnant because I didn't want to look pregnant on our wedding day, and of course Lissa was my maid of honor. Some how Lissa and Dimitri had convinced me to allow Christian to sit at the table rather than the floor like a dog should, during the reception.
I was smiling and watching Jenna talk about everything she did today in her little soprano voice that Dimitri and I love. She had my dark brown hair that seemed so dark it was black in some lighting. She has hazel eyes that she got from Johnathon which he inherited from our dhampir father. But what I loved the most is that she has Dimitri's mind and my attitude, and the rest is just a jumble of mine and Dimitri's features.
When we got to the house Jenna ran as fast as her legs could carry her all the way to her room to play while Dimitri went to the kitchen to cook dinner because I still can't. I picked up the mail off the table next to the door and began shuffling through until something caught my eye.
The letter was addressed to me but didn't have a return address. I know I have seen this writing somewhere, but I can't place who it belongs to, so instead of dwelling on it I opened it. As I started to read shock and fear coursed through my body flooding my veins, as my eyes threatened to release tears which I painstakingly held back.
Dear Rose,
How have you been? I guess you're wondering who this is, but then again you're a very smart woman so I'm going to assume that you've already figured it out. I hope you have your stake handy because strigoi are not very kind creatures. We're coming for your precious family, Rose. Including Queen Vasilisa's family. I left Terasov last night, so I hope you don't mind if I pay a visit. I'll see you soon
-Chris
"Dimitri!" I called as I ran to the kitchen.
"What's wrong?" He asked as the worry coursed through his eyes. He took the letter from my hands, and as soon as he read it, there was nothing but screaming coming from outside. Jenna ran into my arms as she began to cry with Johnathon carrying Chelsea right behind her.
"Rose, take them to Lissa and Christian and lead them to the church." He said as he pulled out his stake. He kissed me and Jenna, as he began towards the door.
"Come on." I said to the kids as I pulled a stake out of the kitchen drawer and handed it to Johnathon. "Use it if something goes wrong Christian will hold them in place as you stake them. Just like we practiced. ok?" He nodded. I led them to Lissa's house where I was met with a hug by a panicked Lissa.
"Rose! Oh my God! Are you ok?" She asked in a panic.
"I'm fine but we need to get to the church." She nodded hastily.
"I'll lead a path of fire." Christian said. I nodded.
"Jenna, Johnathon come here." Lissa said. They did as they where told and Lissa picked Jenna up and held Johnathon's hand. We waled out of the house and ran to the church only having to stop once for me to kill the strigoi that was caught between the fire paths.
"Stay here." They all nodded. I kissed Jenna and Chelsea, and when I bent down to kiss Johnathon he hugged me and I whispered.
"Stay inside and only use the stake if you have to." I said kissing his cheek.
"Please come back." He whispered I gave a small sad smile as I ran out of the church.
