I am sorry for the long wait, but I posted two new chapters. Hopefully two updates help a little. I would like to thank all those who have added my story to favorites, alerted it, or reviewed it. All of you are totally awesome and I love ya'll.

Rose's POV:

The morning of my mother's funeral I was woken up early by Cavin, so I decided to get ready. I dressed in a black, semi-scrunchy dress with a ribbon around the middle, a pair of black pumps, and a black hat with a veil. I was very well disguised. I looked hot, even though I was going to a funeral. Then, I dressed Cavin in a little black and gray stripped one piece and out him in stroller with a cover so he wouldn't be seen.

After we were ready, Alberta, Cavin, and I walked to the only church at Court. When we arrived at the church we decided to stand at the back so attention wasn't drawn to us. The church was very crowded, which didn't surprise me because my mom was a badass.

As the service went on I looked around the room I noticed many familiar faces, faces I thought I would never see again. Then, as I looked upfront I noticed the faces of Lissa, Christian, Adrian, Eddie, Mia, Dimitri, and Tasha.

What the hell was Tasha doing here?

I was brought out of my thoughts by the priest saying that there were some people who were going to speak. A few fellow guardians went up to talk about how strong and courageous she was. Then, a man, a Moroi, with dark hair and eyes and tanned skin walked up to the podium. He was flanked by two very buff, intimidating guardians, even though he didn't look like he needed the protection.

"Hello, most of you probably know me, my name is Ibrahim Mazur." He began. "What most of you don't know is that I was madly in love with Janine, even had a daughter together. Our daughter, Rosemarie, couldn't be here today, actually we she is missing. Though, I am sure she would have liked to have been here. I will miss Janine very dearly and will think of her constantly. She was a great woman, beautiful, smart, and strong. I hope to one day see here again. As a last promise to Janine I am going to find our daughter and make sure she is never touched. Thank you. Goodbye, my love."

As the man, my father, finished speech I was in utter shock. I had just seen my father, who I thought abandoned us like every other Moroi man, but he actually loved us. I didn't even know what to think. I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice everyone start to leave. So, I didn't notice how close all of my friends were to me.

As I looked at them I noticed all of them looked upset. Lissa was crying her eyes out as Christian, who had a solemn face on, held her. Eddie and Mia were holding hands, each with grim looks on their faces. Next were Dimitri and Tasha. Tasha had tears running down her face and Dimitri's face was totally blank, but what scared me the most were his eyes, which were totally empty. Last was Adrian, who suddenly stopped and stared right at me. He continued to stare intently, probably looking at my damn aura that stuck out like a sour thumb. Luckily, he kept walking. He probably thought he was just really drunk.

After I saw that everyone else was gone I decided to say a final goodbye to my mother.

"I am going to miss you so much mom. I know that I didn't show it, but I love you so much and am proud to call you my mother. I will try the rest of my life to make you proud of me. I love you, mommy. Goodbye."

After I finished I turned around and walked out of the church and towards the jet that was going to take Cavin and I back to Tennessee.

Please continue to review.

Love,
