A month later…

A month. One whole month since Dimitri and I have started normal lives. We had both taken jobs at the academy Dimitri taught combat and I was assigned to teach Advanced Guardian Combat Techniques until I was able to teach with Dimitri again. The kids were enrolled in the school so there were no problems with them. Until Nessa like me at her age threw a book at her teacher.

I was sitting in my room grading papers, Now I see why teachers at the academy always complained; this SUCKS! When my mind started to wander.

Daydream…

I was sitting in the nursery holding my beautiful new baby when a shadow fell upon the baby and I. I looked up to see what it was ready to defend my baby at all costs when I saw the familiar menacing red eyes of a Strigoi. But when I looked closer this was no unfamiliar Strigoi. This was Robert Dashcov. I started to cry knowing why he was here. My baby. He wanted my baby, and there ws nothing I could do to stop him. And just like that he snatched the beautiful baby out of my hands and killed it right in front of me.

I came out of my daydream to see that I had been crying and the Dimitri had me wrapped in his arms. This just made me bawl more because I knew I'd have to tell him my daydream. I had finally calmed down enough to realize my phone was ringing. I reached over and answered my phone.

"Hello?"

"Rose? It's Christian. Lissa just went into labor."

I'm starting to like this whole cliffhanger thing. Remember Lissa was 7 months when they left so 1 month in Russia plus another one equals 9. Anyways, down to business. For those of you who follow my stories, here's what I'm planning on trying to do.

Life After - I'm going to try to finish this story soon and then follow it with a sequel but, the sequel only happens if I get enough positive feedback during the next chapters to come.

The Runaways This story I'm going to try to put off for a little while longer seeing has how I have to go through the applications and eventually make all the characters end up at the party (read and find out what party) to plan their escape.

Two Different Worlds – A new story just posted read and tell me if I should continue!

Thanks again! Happy Thanksgiving!

Xoxo
