Heyy people! Miss me? I am very sorry I took so long to update. I've been struggling with some personal issues and I completely lost all motivation to write but I guess I'm back. I won't promise to update regularly because I know I won't be able to, but I'll try to not let months pass by again. Although my issues are still not fixed, I'm trying to keep myself together. Enough of my rambling.
The GIF's I use are all related to some moment of the chapter but I may include ones in the future for the soul purpose of showing you guys how I see the characters. I might use different people for the same character, though, because I don't really picture Rose as Zoey Deutch all the time and the same goes for Dimitri and the others so I guess you'll need to guess which character it is :)
WARNING: This chapter includes a scene that is a little violent. Nothing major but I'm just letting you know.

Rose POV
If annoyance was a person, its name would be Adrian Ivashkov.
I don't have anything against the guy in particular. He's polite enough, though a bit of a player, resulting in sistematic attempts to flirt with you anytime he opens his mouth.
He made his way through the trees, towards us and when he got closer, he stopped dead in his tracks.
"Sorry, man. I must've lost track of time." Dimitri said as he put on his duster.
"No biggie. Just wanted you to know that we're getting ready for that thing, you know?" Adrian gave Dimitri a weird look, before his gaze fell on me.
What thing did they need to get ready for? It was obvious I wasn't supposed to know.
"Rose Hathaway, am I correct?" Adrian's lip twitched, like he was trying not to smile. There was something about his expression, not exactly mocking but not just being polite either.
"Yes, you are."
The way he was looking at me, up and down, as if he was checking me out (which, being Adrian, he probably was) was making me nervous, but I refused to let him see that.
Dimitri coughed and looked at his friend with a scowl on his face. It would be a funny sight if it were in another time.
"You ready, Dimka?" Adrian questioned.
"Yeah." Dimitri answered.
He was acting so serious, any trace of the vulnerable side he'd shown me was gone. Well, not exactly gone , more like hidden.
