This journey was going to be long and hard. Yeah, whatever. I practically owned those words now. Everything in my life had been long and hard, my schooling, practices, friendship, and even love. But this journey, this was going to be the longest and hardest of them all… I was setting out to kill the man I loved. The one that had turned into the thing that I hated above everything else. He had turned into a Strigoi.

I set off along the road leading from St. Vladimir's to the actual road. I was heading off to go to the airport. My destination from there, Siberia.

I knew he was there. That was the first place he would go. He missed it, I had seen it in his eyes before he, um, went Strigoi. So I set off to the airport.

The wind whipped my hair frantically around my face and I had to keep pulling it out of my eyes. The cold wind made my eyes sting and my unclothed skin burn. I blinked the stinging tears out of my eyes. I realized that I had no actual form of transportation to the airport itself. "Damn," I muttered to myself. How am I gonna get there now? Hitchhiking didn't sound that bad but didn't sound really pleasant either. But it was better than this. Too bad there were no flippin' cars on the road. I sighed and continued my walk down the slippery, wet road. The snow was still melting and spring hadn't completely begun yet. Wouldn't I kill for a taxi right now…

An hour passed as I finally saw the opening onto the major road. And there were actual cars there! Hitchhiking time here we go. I prepared my thumb so that I could get a ride when a car horn startled me from behind. I jumped a foot in the air as soon as the car honked. I looked back to see a sleek, black car coming up behind me. I moved to the side of the road so that the car could pass but it didn't. It slowed to a stop right next to me. The darkened window rolled down to show a shadow covered face. The faced moved in the light to reveal dark, messy black hair and bright, emerald green eyes. My eyes rolled as soon as I saw him. He probably wanted his money back or to make sure that I was actually coming back. I really wasn't in the mood since my eyes and face burned like hell.

"What do you want, Adrian?" I snapped.

"That isn't the way you talk to someone who just leant you tons of money and is now offering you a lift to the airport." He smiled that lazy, annoying grin of his.

"That's okay, I can walk or hitchhike… Hey wait! How did you know I was going to the airport? I could've been going anywhere for all you know!" I frowned and my eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

"I have my sources," he smiled and instantly I knew who his "sources" were.

"Lissa." I muttered frustrated at her for telling.

"You got me!" He laughed. Then the grin faded and seriousness flashed across his face and eyes. "Rose, you know you don't have to do this. Lissa is really worried about you."

"Ugh… I have to! I promised him! And I know she is worried about me cuz I can feel her in the back of my brain, okay?" I practically shouted and he seemed to flinch.

"Okay, I'm sorry. You can take me to the airport, but no further than that." The smile that lightened his face wasn't his normal lazy one, but was a real, actually happy smile.

I hopped into his car and drove off towards the airport.
