Chapter 8

DPOV

"Dimitri please tell me where you-" Before she could finish, I put the phone down on the receiver.

"Hey! Snap out of it! Whatever that message meant, she is just trying to help. Take a chill pill, will you?" I glared at Vika, but deep inside, I knew that she was right. Rose is just trying to help. I shouldn't be like this with her, but since my since my restoration, whenever I talk to her, all I think about is how I treated her. I can't stop myself.

After going on through all these thoughts, Viktoria broke me out of my trance.

"Dimka?" The cautious tone in her voice was obvious. "Who is Tasha?"

I sighed. I guess she deserved to know. "Her name is Natasha. Natasha Ozera"

I barely heard her gasp. "Oh My God. The Natasha Ozera? The girl who was obsessed with you in middle school?" I merely nodded. "Well, you're in some deep shit. But what did Roza mean by 'She ran away'? She can only run away unless she – Oh My God! She murdered the queen and framed Roza! That will put Roza in jail and she can have a chance with you. I'm so sorry Dimka" She whispered towards the end. I'm very proud of her that she figured all that by herself. She's a smart person. I heavily sighed; I was about to say something before Vika started speaking again.

"But, doesn't it mean that Roza know that you're here? In Russia?" I could only nod. Roza knew where I am and she would do anything to come here and get me. She needs to understand that I can't do it anymore.

When I was a strigoi and Roza came after me, many strigoi wanted her. I knew they would never stop until they get her. No matter if they want to make her a strigoi or they want her as their blood whore, they will do anything in their power to get what they want. That is the exact reason I want to stay away from her. I'm damn sure that all the strigoi around the world have found out about my transformation. Everyone knew my history with Roza (leaving out the part with cabin), how much I loved her. I still do. I never stopped. Those strigoi's know that she means everything to me. Now that I have transformed back to Dhampir, they're going to take her away. I want to kill them. For revenge, for ever thinking that they can get to Roza. That's the reason I need to stay away from her, to make them and everyone else see that I don't love her anymore.

RPOV

Lissa was in full preparation mode, trying to get everything ready for us so we can leave for Russia as soon as possible. I'm still very confused about what Dimitri's doing in Russia. Why did he choose the place that he knew holds such emotional value to him?

Yesterday, shortly after I found out and told Lissa where Dimitri is, Olena overheard me talking to Lissa.

Flashback

After leaving the guardian behind, Lissa and I made our way back to my room. We were talking about how we were going to get there. Thankfully, being a Moroi Princess, comes with its benefits. And we were going to use them to the best of our ability.

"Ok, 3 days from now our flight leaves for Omsk from where we can drive to Novosibirsk. The plane is the Queen's Property. I'll use compulsion at whomever I need to. I don't think it should be a problem as many Royals are going to the Royal Court in Romania. Hopefully we'll find Dimitri and Viktoria" Lissa explained our plan. From the bond I could tell she had mixed emotions about this. Who wouldn't?

By now, we both were in my room, sitting on my bed, thinking about what will happen next.

"What about Dimitri and Viktoria? Roza, Princess, What going on?" Olena asked as she entered my room.

"Oh, Hi Olena" I didn't even realized she entered until she spoke.

"Olena" Lissa looked at me as if asking for permission if we should tell her. I nodded. She deserved to know; after all, Dimitri and Viktoria are her kids. "We know where Dimitri and Viktoria are"

And with those words, Olena's expression completely changed. She was happy that we know where they are and angry, sad and disappointed in them. She had tears in her eyes.

"Where? Where are they?" Olena whispered. She was trying hard not to cry.

"Russia. They're in Russia. Lissa, Eddie and a few other guardians are going to go get them" I whispered back. I could see Lissa nodding her head.

"When are you leaving?" Olena asked. I knew what was coming next. She would want to come with us. No, I can't let happen. If something happens to her. No.

"In 3 days". Lissa answered.

Thankfully, she didn't mention that she wants to go with us. I can't let her go.

She thanked me for doing this for her, but I was mainly doing this for myself. I know that it sounds selfish, but I don't think I can bear losing the love of my life again.

Olena soon left the room saying she had to go talk to Yeva and take Paul to bed.

Lissa also stayed for a while until she left.

End Flashback

The next few days went by like a breeze,and before we knew it, it was time to leave for Russia. I was up and early before my alarm. The anxiety got the best of me; I hardly even slept last night.

I jumped in the shower for a quick wash. Just as I got out of my shower, I felt a tug from the bond, Lissa was wondering where I was. I quickly put on my guardian attire and my stake in my boot. I searched for a duffel bag in my cupboard. After filling it with as many clothes as possible, I stashed another stake in my duffel bag. Better to be safe than sorry. I ran out of my room to Lissa's. As usual her door was unlocked. I opened the door to the sight of Christian and Lissa sucking each other's faces off.

"Oh, great" I mumbled to myself.

I quietly shut the door behind me, threw my duffel bag on Lissa's bed and attacked the couch. After an awkward 3 minutes, I decided to break it up.

"You guys are so lost in each other, you wouldn't even know if a Strigoi walked in". Christian and Lissa jumped apart. They didn't realize it was me. Lissa went behind Christian who took a protective stance and a fireball in his hand. When he realized it was me, he threw a fireball at me. I rolled down from the couch. It barely left a mark on the couch.

"Christian!" Both Lissa and I shouted at him. She punched his arm and he put his fireball out.

"Seriously Christian, Lissa's only going to be gone for a few days, and anyways I thought you were going with us. What happened to that?"

"I know, I'm still going. But she's going to be busy looking for Belikov with you, so better to get the steam out before we leave" He said whilst looking at Lissa. The leaned into to another make out session. I had to break it up, again.

"Stop it both of you. We're going to get late for our flight" I said as I picked up my duffel bag and opened the door. Lissa and Christian nodded. Christian picked up Lissa's and his bag and walked out, Lissa behind him. I shut the door and we all walked to the airstrip.

This was going to be a fun ride.

DPOV

It's been 3 days. 3 days since I received that call from Roza. I've got my spies at court looking out for her every move. Nothing happened. She's been seen a lot with Adrian. I can't do anything about it, I left her. If she chooses him, I should be happy for her.

Vika still hasn't gone back home. I don't mind that. It's just that she made a deal with me that she would only go home, if I come home with her. When she told me that Mama had gone to the Royal Court to see if it was true that I turned back, my heart broke. Not only did I break Roza's heart, but also Mama's. Will she still believe that I'm a dhampir again?

So here we are, going around the streets of Novosibirsk looking for a good café or restaurant where we could eat breakfast. We found one a middle class looking restaurant, which had great food. We both got into our seat and started going through the menu. I went for eggs and bacon with orange juice where as Vika went for Blueberry Pancakes with chocolate milkshake. As the waitress took Vika's order, my cell phone started to ring in my pocket. I took a look at the called ID and immediately knew what it was about. I looked up to Vika staring at me, asking who it was. I excused myself and answered the call.

"Belikov" I answered.

"Guardian Belikov, Smith here" Smith was one of my friends and one of my spies at court. "Hathaway was seen with Princess Dragomir, Lord Ozera hurrying to the airstrip". My breath caught in my throat. She was coming.

"Who else was there?" I asked in a hurry. I turned around to see Vika staring at me with a weird expression on her face, while she ate her pancakes.

"Uh, they met up with some guardians next to the Queens Plane. From what I saw, I'm pretty sure that one of the guardians was Castile, I'm not sure who else was there" Of course Eddie was going to go with Rose.

"When did this happen? Has the plane taken off yet?" I was in hurry and Smith was taking forever.

"I came back from the airstrip took off about 5 minutes ago". He replied.

"Thank you, Smith" And with that I disconnected the call

I hurried back to our table and sat down. By now Vika had a worried expression.

"Dimka, who was it? What happened? Is anyone injured? Was it Roz-" I put up my hand to stop her.

"It was one of my spies. They said that Roza and her friends just took off from the airstrip"

Vika dropped her fork with wide eyes.

"Sh-She's coming?" Vika stammered.

I could only nod.
