I felt nothing. Collecting my bags from the academy, the plane flight to Germany, the drive to the house. I felt absolutely nothing and it scared me. My heart had been torn into a million pieces and flew out the window the moment I let go of Dimitri's hand. Janine hardly spoke and when she did it consisted of, 'Wow look at that rain' or 'I need coffee.' All the same I never answered her, still in a state of disbelief and shock. A steady flow of tears streamed down my face on the plane and throughout our numerous long drives until I couldn't cry anymore. Somehow my tears had run dry. I missed the feeling of Dimitri's soft embrace and his lips on mine. I slumped my head against the cold window as we drove through the German country-side. Normally I would have been excitedly look out my window and snapping photo's left right and centre but I just couldn't find much to be excited about. As we went I noticed the houses getting bigger and bigger. We pulled into a grey house that was surrounded by intricate brass fences. The driveway was really long and bordered by tall oaks. I could help but become interested in what was about to become my new home. Janine pulled the car into a large indoor carport. As I stepped out of the car I noticed a green mini and a silver jeep.

"Oh they're Ivan's son's cars."

"Ivan?" I asked suspiciously, voice husky with lack of use. I tried to raise an eyebrow but felt tears well up at the attempt. It reminded me so much of Dimitri.

"Yes, there is something I need to tell you, Rose-" Before she could finish, a yapping, gigantic ball of hair came tumbling out of the door and ran into her legs.

"This is Chico, he's a sheep dog."

"Chico?" god people had weird name's here. I wonder what his son's name was, Batman?

"Chico! Come here! Janine will be back soon-" yelled a deep voice that grew louder as the person ran down the hall. "Oh, you're back already." A dark-haired, grey eyed man stated, leaning against the door jamb. Chico ran over to me and began fiercely licking my arm. He crossed the room and grabbed Chico's collar.

"Sorry about him, I'm Miles." He offered me his hand. his skin was unusually tanned for a Moroi.

"Miles, this is my daughter, Rosemarie Hathaway."

"The Rose Hathaway?" I noticed he used my preferred name and smiled. So this boy had heard about me? Well that was nice. I just wanted to get upstairs and go to sleep.

"Hi." I muttered and shook his hand.

"Rose will be staying with us and working as my assistant." Janine stated hesitantly, probably afraid he would ask why.

"Cool, well I'll get your bags." I flicked him a smile and went to help him. I didn't have very much because I left the majority of it at the Academy for Lissa. He introduced me to the maid, the cook and the butler and finally showed me to my room. It was a small room but bigger than the one I had at the academy. There was already a computer set up in the corner with a web cam attached to the top.

"Thanks Miles."

"No problem Rose. If you need anything just let me know." He said placing a hand gently on my upper arm. He rose his eyebrows when he said 'anything' obviously exaggerating on the meaning. A door closed down stairs and Chico went running.

"Dad's home, come on." He left the room expecting me to follow. I guess it would be polite to say hello to the person who was allowing me to stay in their house. I trudged down the stairs and into the main foyer where a man who was the spitting image of Miles stood. He was a little taller and dressed in a suit but you could tell that Miles was his son. I heard the click of my mother's quickly approaching shoes and turned the corner just as I saw her pretty much tackle the guy. She kissed him and hugged him tightly. You have got to be fucking kidding me! I stood there with my jaw dragging along the polished marble floor. She turned around and her smile disappeared as her eyes set themselves on me.

"Rose I can explain-"

"I don't want to hear your explanations! I want to get out of here! I am sick of your fucking double standards!" I spun on my heal and stomped up the stairs.

"Rose, get back here-" I cut her off by shoving my middle finger into the air. Slamming the door, I let out an infuriated screech. Who the fuck did she think she was splitting me and Dimitri up when she was over here in Germany having secret relationship with her charge? I buried my head in my hands and a whole new wave of tears erupted. The sobs shook my body hard and when I was finished I felt a whole new version of exhausted. With slumped shoulders I crossed over to the soft double bed and collapsed, soon falling asleep.

I was woken up but somebody playing with my hair. I smiled and rolled over, expecting it to be Dimitri. But instead there sat my mother, her red curls looked like they were on fire in the backlight of the setting sun.

"Don't touch me." I growled and wrenched myself from the bed.

"Rose, I should've told you-"

"Damn right you should have told me! You are such a hypocrite. You separate me from the only man I have ever loved and bring me into you boyfriend's house. You disgust me."

"Exactly Rose! Dimitri is a man and you are a girl. You aren't a woman, you are still a child! I am not going to let somebody like him take my daughters virtue." My jaw dropped for the second time today.

"My virtue? This is why you did this? You wanted to protect my virtue?" I asked raising both eyebrows. She nodded. "Oh you have got to be kidding me! Mum, I am still a virgin, no matter how I behave or how I act around Dimitri, I am still a virgin and plan to stay that way for a while." That wasn't exactly true. I didn't plan to lose my virginity, thing just happen in the heat of the moment and poof! You're no longer a virgin. Janine's eyes clouded over with guilt and she looked at her hands.

"Mum, I love him and no matter how far you move me away from him, I will never stop and I hope that it is the same way for him." Of course it is! My inner voice told me.

"I'm sorry Rose. I can't do anything to help you anymore. I will not force you to continue your schooling but I would like you to." She got up and closed the door behind her softly. I guess I am going to have to suck it up and go along with it. There is no way in hell I was going to jeopardize both mine and Dimitri's freedom and Guardian titles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~6 Months Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the days passed I missed Dimitri more and more. I had to find a way to see him. I couldn't live without him. Abe. He would help me. He got off on breaking the law and wouldn't mind helping me.

"Mum!" I yelled down the stairs.

"Yes Rose?"

"Do you have Dad's number?"

"Yeah I'll bring it up."

I dialed his number and waited in anticipation.

"Abe Mazur." He answered in a slight American twang. Even though he was born in Turkey, he had spent most of his life in Detroit.

"Abe! It's Rose!"

"Rose! Oh how ya doin' honey? What they did to you was horrible." Ah good old, law breaking Abe.

"Abe I need your help. I need you to come to Germany. I assume you know where my mother lives." I heard him grunt to affirm "and I need you to bring me something. I need you to bring me a plane ticket to Missoula." A cackle erupted from the ear piece and I needed to hold to phone away from my head.

"Ah! I have taught you well."

"Bullshit you have taught me absolutely nothing." I laughed.

"What can I say? Like father like daughter." I shook my head and laughed.

"So will you come?"

"I will see you tomorrow." He stated.

"Don't tell mum."

"Rose, what do you think I am, stupid? I don't think so." We said a quick goodbye, deciding to meet at a small secluded café not far from the house and hung up the phone. My heart pounded in my chest at the prospect that I was going to see Dimitri. The night was long and early the next morning I got a text message telling me that he was there. I raced down the stairs, told mum I was going for I ride and started my black Ducati road bike that leant against the wall. Ivan had try to by my happiness and failed. I sped down the street and finally pulled into the café car park. I saw the gold Mercedes parked in the far corner and knew instantly it was Abe's. I ran into café, whipping off my helmet and found Abe sitting in a booth sipping on a cup of coffee, pretending to read the German newspaper. He smiled as I stood over him and stood up to give me a hug.

"Thank you so much for coming half way around the world to meet me."

"No worries, Rose." He motioned for me to sit down and slid a white envelope across the smooth surface of the table.

"Is this what I think it is?" Abe nodded and pursed his lips.

"But we need to make up a cover story and I already have one in mind. We will tell your mother that you are coming to stay with me for a week because you are sick of the cold and need some sun. Sound good?"

"A week? Wow, I never thought I would say this, but I love you Abe. Thank you so much." A tear leaked out of the corner of my eye. "So when do I leave?"

"This afternoon at 3 o'clock." He replied smiling. I glanced at my watch and saw that it was 1:30. I gasped and stood up abruptly, causing the 'hidden' Guardians look around quickly.

"We have to go now then. You can explain to mum and I will pack." I raced out the door after picking up my ticket and sliding it into my leather jacket. I checked that he was following me and sped out of the car park towards the house. Packing quickly, I threw pretty much every article of clothing I owned into two suitcases and dragged them downstairs where Abe was explaining to mum. She had an expression of relief on her face. I waved goodbye and got into Abe's car. Glad to be away from the happy family where I so obviously didn't belong, even if it was only for a week. Who knew, maybe I could con Abe into letting me come and live with him. Abe ordered Pavel to break every speed limit to get me to the airport in time. As we got there I heard the final boarding call sound over the loud speakers. I hugged Abe quickly and ran to book in and from there I ran to the terminal and only just got on the plane in time. I sighed and leant into my seat. My heart squeezed in my chest when I realized that I didn't know who was picking me up or where I was going to stay. I sure as hell couldn't stay at the academy. The flight was long and I tried to find something to do. In my haste I hadn't packed any books or even my iPod. I closed my eyes and soon the captain had pressed the fasten seatbelt sign. Ten minutes later we had landed. I welcomed the blast of heat as I got off the plane. It was a welcome change compared to the constant cold of Germany. As I entered the area where family and friends waited for their loved ones, I noticed that I couldn't see anyone I knew. I sighed heavily and looked down at my feet. Over the roar of happy welcomes I heard my name being called. I looked up to see Lissa's entire torso. Why on earth could I see her torso unless she had turned into a giant? I ran over to where she hovered and saw Christian with her on his shoulders. She slipped down and heaved me into a tight hug. I was so overwhelmed I even hugged CHRISTIAN! He was just as surprised as I was.

"Rose we have a surprise for you, but we cant give it to you here." She towed me over to the baggage carousel where we collected my bags and proceeded to her small Hyundai Getz. It was yellow and suspiciously matched the dress she was wearing. She eagerly got in the car and waited for Christian to throw my luggage in the boot. I squeezed myself into the tiny back seat and fidgeted whilst we drove at a scary speed. Lissa was one terrifying driver. As she wove in and out of the traffic the occasional squeal escaped my lips. We finally arrived at the front of a stylish hotel and a bus boy came out to meet us as well as a valet man. We gave him the keys to the car and the bus boy got my bags out of the boot. As we signed in I couldn't help but notice that the receptionist gave us two keys. I was even more confused when Lissa gave one to Christian and kept one for herself. I thought they would share a room since they had been together for forever. We waved to Christian and went up in the lift to our room, which was one of the highest in the whole hotel. As soon as we entered I noticed my bags hadn't made their way up here. Lissa towed me over to the wardrobe where she threw clothes at me.

"Liss, none of these will fit me."

"Just trust me. Ah perfect" I held up a loose fitting peasant dress that came to mid-thigh. It was an off white colour and had intricate patterns all over it. Its flowing sleeves came down to just under my elbows. I put it on and was surprised that it actually fit me.

"This is beautiful Liss." I slid on a pair of black gladiator sandals, lucky we had the same foot size. I decided not to wear any make up except some lip balm. As excited as I was to be here with Lissa, I still hadn't forgotten why I had come here in the first place. Dimitri.

"Hey Liss,"

"Hmm?" she mumbled as she applied mascara.

"Have you seen Dimitri? Did he come back to the Academy?"

"Ummm. Actually, now that I think about it, I have seen him in at least 5 months." I felt something through the bond but I was to worried about Dimitri to pay any attention to it.

"Okay lets go" Lissa announced smacking her lips after applying lips gloss. Her blonde hair hung over her shoulders and down her back. I followed her to the elevator where she pressed the button to go up to the observation deck. The view was absolutely stunning and we went to sit at a table next to the window. Looking around, I noticed that there wasn't anybody here but us.

"Hey Liss, I wonder why nobody is here."

"Mmm. Yeah."

What is with her answers they give me no information or anything?

Please you stupid inner voice SHUT UP!

When I looked up from the glass of water the waiter had brought me I saw Christian enter the room. There was a small divider and I saw him reach backwards to grab somebody. I furrowed my eyebrows and saw a person who was all too familiar. Christian practically dragged him onto the deck and he smiled and looked onto the deck, our eyes met. I couldn't believe my eyes.
