Chapter Fourteen

We followed Sydney back through the kitchen and to the living room. Adrian and Sonya were sitting in the floor facing each other and holding hands. They had their eyes closed and one would think they were meditating, only I knew what they were doing. Or at least I think I did. Oksana and I had done the exact same position when I'd needed to talk Lissa off of that window sill from Russia.

After five minutes of watching this I turned towards Sydney.

" I thought we came in because you three had figured something out. I didn't know this was it!" I said pointing at the two Spirit users oblivious to everything around them.

" We had but I don't know what they're doing now. They weren't like this when I went to get the two of you."

She said back in what I had come to know as the ' your Hathaway attitude doesn't scare me' tone of voice. I wasn't in the mood though. Honestly I was tired and irritable, and that was putting it mildly. I motioned my hands for her to continue and quickly.

" Well I talked Sonya into taking me to this child's home." Sydney said matter of fact. I smiled knowing this was another step in the right direction, it also improved my mood some. I was about to tell her good job when Adrian and Sonya came back around.

" We got it Rose!" Adrian said excitedly.

" That's great but what did you get exactly?" I said skeptically. He was smiling and almost bouncing out of his skin.

" We know where Tasha is!" My mouth dropped open and I couldn't string a single word together. Dimitri having no such problems asked what I couldn't.

" How? Where is she?" He almost shouted.

" Well I've been trying to get into her dreams, but couldn't. I could never catch her asleep. I felt a pull from her though and Sonya helped me get in there without her knowing we were there. We made her think she wanted to dream about where she was and it worked."

He was talking fast and pacing back and forth now. I could see all of the spirit use was starting to get to him and he was heading to crazy town, and very soon. Sydney could see it also and placed her hand on his arm. He looked down at her and calmed instantly. The impact she had on him after just a few days together was amazing.

" Where is she Adrian?" Sydney asked in a calm, caring voice.

" She's at St. Vladimir's in an old cabin by the wards." He said a bit smugly.

Dimitri and I looked at each other, we knew exactly which cabin. It had been where we let go and gave in to all of our desires. And thinking of Tasha in there made me angry yes, but I also smirked at the fact that she was sleeping where the man she wants and the woman she framed had had sex for the first time.

And then I began to laugh. I couldn't help it nor could I stop. Like I said before I was tired.

" What is so funny?" Sydney asked like she thought I was one second from snapping for good, and becoming Queen of crazy town.

" The bed Tasha is so comfortably sleeping is where Dimitri and I had sex for the first time. It's where we promised to love each other no matter what happened, and it's where he promised to keep me from going crazy."

I was laughing harder now.

" Doesn't seem like you kept that last promise." Adrian deadpanned to Dimitri. I stopped laughing not enjoying his comment, and he threw his hands up.

" It was a joke little dhampir."

His comment brought me back from my hysterical state though.

" Are you two sure?" Dimitri asked with a look that said he also had not appreciated Adrian's comment. Joke or not.
