Early mornings sitting on a couch watching a tv that has all the surveillance of all the queen's quarters and the rest of Queen Vasilissa Dragomirs palace was uneventful. I was resting on my uncomfortable desk chair in the main living area eating a chocolate glazed donut when i heard a knock at the door and i saw a tall pale,beautiful moroi  figure sway elegantly across the room, her long blonde hair flowing and jade green eyes beaming as lissa answered the door seeing her boyfriend christian ozera standing there with the usual smirk on his face, because it's the closest thing he had to a smile. To be honest i do love christian, he's like a brother to me. We always tease each other and call eachother names.

Hey there firefly! I said as christian smirked,

well how are you today rosie? mocked christian. I glared at him because he knows how much i despise that nickname.

Lissa rolled her eyes and yelled not in an angry way but more annoyed,
"can you two please try to get along for once!" Then she brought out the puppy dog eyes,
"for me guys?"

I sighed, you know we do it out of love right liss? I said getting up and hugging her as christian planted a soft kiss on her forehead.
Yea i know, she said. You can have the rest of the day off rose,

"no lissa my shift doesn't end till 8 am and its currently 6 am"

"well" said lissa, Christian and i were gonna settle in for a meal and have some alone time and plus i think there's someone at the airport waiting for you" she smiled

I beamed and ran out the door after signing out and handing over to Lissa's night guard, i got in my guardian appointed suv and pulled out of the palace carpark quickly driving to the small airport here at court.

I was disappointed when i saw nothing, there was the plane but all the passengers have already gotten off and the one person i wanted to see was not there. Tears started to slowly run down my cheeks when two large arms wrapped around around me from behind, i jumped ready to attack when i suddenly was caught staring into a pair of dark brown eyes the same eyes that were sparking with love as i smiled at the love of my life.
"Milaya" he said in a thick russian accent that had gotten thicker after his trip to russia to see my father and the belikova women.
I had no idea why, but Abe insisted flying dimitri to baia and then turkey so they could "get to know eachother better" who knows what my father threatened him with.

"Dimitri" said as i leaned up to kiss the man i loved, after a couple seconds we pulled away,

"i missed you so much my roza"

"i missed you more comrade" i said with a smirk, him laughing at my old nickname for him.
We hopped in the black suv, Me in the passenger seat since dimitri never let me drive.
It's been about a month since i was shot by tasha and dimitri was always asking me if i had any chest pains or if i was breathing ok.
He wouldn't let me lift a finger and he really wasn't happy i went back to work while he was gone. We pulled up in our driveway of the little apartment we had. It was one bedroom a small living room, a decent size kitchen and a big bathroom inside the bedroom.
We had just moved in so there wasn't any paint or decorations, just a few picture frames of me and lissa back at the academy and me and dimitri training and a picture of us looking deep into eachother's eyes with so much love. I plopped onto the sofa and dimitri came and wrapped his arms around me.
How are you feeling roza? He said,
i'm ok, just really hungry, i've barely had enough time to eat since i went back to work and rose hathaway doesn't cook, i'd like to just keep everyone safe by just not cooking or even attempting to at all. Dimitri glared, i could tell he was mad.
Rose, he didn't use my russian nickname trying to make his disappointment clear, i suddenly felt small because even though he was mad at me he still loved me and he pulled me into his lap and carried me into the kitchen and sat me down on one of the bar stools at the counter. I sat there watching- him as he pulled out some flour,eggs,buttermilk,baking soda,salt and a whisk. He put the ingredients together whipping up a batch of blini for breakfast. After about 30 minutes we sat down and ate the thin russian pancakes. After our meal dimitri went to our room and unpacked as i washed the dishes.
I heard the shower running so i decided to watch a movie while dimitri was showering, picking out one of my favorites, the hunger games.
Just when katniss volunteered for the games my handsome russian walked into the room sitting on the other side of the couch. He was still mad at me. I moved over and leaned against him.
Dimitri? I said softly, he just stared at the television. Dimitri im sorry its just that i've been so busy and, he cut me off.
roza , i love you so so much i just want you to take care of yourself, he said, his words full of sympathy and love. I nodded and laid my head on his lap, stretching out across the sofa,dimitri stroking my long dark brown hair as i fell asleep.
Suddenly i was sitting in a bed, in a room that wasn't my own,i noticed a tinted window and then i realized where i was. The room was identical to the one i was held in at galinas house. Where dimiri had taken me when he was a strigoi, where he told me i had to make the decision to be turned or die.  This is the room where he drank my blood and a pang of embarrassment came as I remember that I let him, I wanted it. I walked to the bathroom and looked at the small mirror. What I saw scared me, my big brown eyes had a ring of red around them,and my dark tanned skin was pale and cold. I was one of them

I was a strigoi
