Hey Guys, IM SO SO SORRY. I can't even begin to explain how sorry I am, this is such a late chapter and its also short, but I just wanted to get the filler chapter out of the way, its basically a small chapter explaining their 'travel plans.'
I would just like to thank everyone for their review and opinions on where they should end up!
Enjoy!
Chapter 12
Previously on Rose's Miracle;
…We both fell asleep with a strong sense of hope.
Hope that our destination will keep us safe until the twins are born and we are able to deal with these bastards…
R.P.O.V
Dimitri and I had taken in turns to guess our destination, we recorded the time that it was taking and would ask the air hostess how much time we had left. We were making a fun game out of it, so far the trip had taken about 14 hours and we had little under an hour left. We had so many guesses but each guess that we made the air hostess would shake her head.
Eventually we gave up and waited for the announcement to put on our seat belts, I couldn't wait to get off this plane I mean honestly was the old man taking us the Himalayas?
I really hoped he wasn't…
Finally the seat belt sign came on and I became anxious, the pilot began to make an announcement;
"Good afternoon our decent has begun the time in Australia; New South Wales is approximately 8:00am in the morning thank you for your patience and enjoy your trip." The pilot said
Australia? New South Wales?
My geography wasn't all that good, but I was sure that Australia was an Island, it was often referred to as the 'Land Down Under' in America and it also had the least Strigoi population. Abe had definitely thought this through, Liss and I always said we wanted to visit Australia.
I glanced at Dimitri and he looked as surprised as I did, we got off the plane and we were on a private airstrip. I spotted a sign that said Katoomba Airstrip, what an odd name I thought.
"Well Roza, welcome to Australia." Dimitri said
I laughed, "Abe certainly thought this through didn't he?" I said
"Oh yes, only he could think of a country that has the least amount of Strigoi population." Dimitri said
It was the middle of autumn, but the weather was still hot and I wasn't surprised that there were hardly any Strigoi or moroi here for that matter.
There was a car waiting for us, and the keys were in the ignition. There was also a GPS which already had a destination in mind, I spotted a note in the glove box and read it;
Hello Kiz,
I find Australia is a wonderful place for a holiday; I come here regularly when I need time away. I have called up the resort where I usually stay and let them know that you will be staying in my Executive suite for as long as required. I'm dearly sorry I couldn't be there with you after the fire but Janine and I were called away on business. I will no doubt be visiting shortly to see how you're settling in; the Blue Mountains are tremendous so don't hesitate to take a little tour.
Even though there is a little amount of Strigoi in Australia I still want you to be very, very careful. You've seen what these monsters are capable of;
Love your mother and father.
'I come here regularly when I need time away' HA! This was definitely one of his hiding spots, well if even he was never caught here then I suppose it will be safe. The car was a classic and I hoped one day that I would own a car like this; a gorgeous 1968 Chevrolet Camaro. Dad had a red one with 2 black strips going down the middle of the body. I took a picture with my phone and sent it on to Sydney; I knew she would absolutely die when she found out that I was driving in this.
I could tell that Dimitri appreciated it also; his mouth was wide open and he couldn't keep his eyes off the expensive leather interior.
Dimitri followed the GPS to its destination, it only took about ten minutes from the airstrip and eventually a sign read;
Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort and Spa, we checked in at the main office and she gave us the directions to our executive suite.
(If you guys want to see where they're staying check out this link! . )
The Blue Mountains were absolutely gorgeous and our view was amazing, I could definitely get used to staying here through the rest of my pregnancy.
We entered our suite and I was shocked at the absolute elegance of it, and it was huge! It contained a sitting room with a sofa, dining room table, antique secretaire and armoire furniture, CD player and a huge plasma TV and a bathroom with a spa bath. I was definitely planning on attacking that spa bath with Dimitri later.
There was a set of instructions explaining what would be happening over the next two weeks, Abe explained that he needed to prepare his mansion in Turkey so while that was happening we were to spend our time here. Another couple of pages attached to it was the itinerary of our trip to St Vlad's when I hit my second trimester, we would spend two days there and then the mansion would be ready in time for our arrival.
We were to be escorted to St Vlad's by some of Abe's personal and most trusted bodyguards, including himself.
I looked at Dimitri;
"He has certainly thought through all of this, hasn't he?" I asked
Dimitri nodded in response
"He has, but Zmey has experience of hiding and running away from his enemies so we're in the hands of an expert."
He yawned and I noticed the dark shadows under his eyes, I realized that he probably hasn't slept well in a while.
I walked around the room shutting all of the curtains and locking the door.
"What are you doing Roza?" He asked me
"I realize it's the day time, but we both need sleep." I said while continuing to shut the curtains and make the effort to make the room at least a little bit dark.
The sun in Australia was blazing and I could already feel the heat getting to me, it was making me nauseous and I had to stop what I was doing.
I sat down taking a couple of deep breaths, trying to make the world from going all over the place.
I could feel myself swooning and losing my surroundings, all of a sudden I felt strong arms clutching me and preventing me from hitting the coffee table.
'Rose, Rose! Are you okay? What's wrong babe?" He asked frantically
"I'm okay, it's just really hot. It's so hot." I kept mumbling
He carried me over to the bathroom and turned the taps of the shower on, he felt my forehead.
"You're really burning up" he said
"It's fine, I read about this, pregnant woman can experience hot flushes during a pregnancy. Alarm is not necessary as it will pass once cooled down." I recited perfectly from the book
He still looked worried and stripped me down, he placed his hand on my round stomach. He looked at me with such deep worry and affection.
I kissed him fiercely; he was the one to gain control as usual and told me to get under the cold water.
The cold water did wonders, and soon enough the heat spell was over and I felt incredibly tired. Dimitri carried me to the enormous bed and stripped. We laid in the bed with the air con running full blast and soon fell asleep in a deep and comfortable slumber.
The next morning when we woke up, it was still hotter than ever. Dimitri turned on the news and heard the weather report saying that it was 34 degrees with possible thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms? While its 34 degrees? This continent didn't cease to amaze me.
Dimitri and I hardly moved out of bed all day, it was just too hot and there was no use moving around until we got a call from Abe.
He explained in the instructions that he would call sometime today and let us know exactly how long we would be spending here.
The thunderstorm turned into a severe weather warning and a maid knocked on our door explaining to us that we may have power outs and to expect a lot of rain.
I was a little anxious of this news, but she seemed completely calm. As if this kind of thing happened all the time, I looked at Dimitri with alarm.
He had a cool expression on his face and tried to reassure me that everything would be fine.
Imagine me? Rose Hathaway anxious over a little severe weather warning, I certainly hoped that becoming a mother wasn't turning me into a softie.
I thought through this for awhile and realized that it wasn't the case of me being soft, but becoming more aware that it wasn't just myself that I had to take care of now. But two little critters inside me, they're the ones that need protection and wherever we go we seem to just run into more danger.
Even if it is a little Severe Weather, what kind of damage could a thunderstorm bring anyway? I guess we were about to find out…
I'm so sorry for it being short as well! I just wanted to get this chapter over with so I can start forming plots in my mind, thank you for following this story and I hope to update soon!
Please Read and Review!
