I got off the phone with Rose as I walked into the restaurant to have dinner with my Aunt Tasha. She had called earlier and told me to meet her here, she wanted to talk to me about something important. Honestly, I'm kinda scared. I have absolutely no clue what could be going through her head. I guess I'm about to find out.
"Hey, Aunt Tasha." I said as I leant down to give her a hug before I sat down.
"Hey, how was your day?" She was stalling, now I'm really scared.
"It was good, I miss Rose already, though. So, what did you want to talk about?" Better to get straight to the point than to drag it on.
"Okay, well I had planned to give this to you the day you turned 18, however since I wasn't able to make it out to see you, I figured now was as good a time as any, considering you're getting married. When your parents died, all of the money they left went into a separate bank account just for you. Now that you are legally an adult all of that money is just waiting for you." It sounds like she's trying to tell me I'm a millionaire. I never thought they had left any money.
"How much did they leave?"
"I can't tell you because I wasn't allowed to know. All I can tell you is your account number and the safe word. When you go to the bank tell them your name, the number 41566789, and blue savage. Don't say anything else or they won't let you have it. All I know is that it's a lot of money. Don't tell anyone but Rose about this, there are people out there who would love to get there hands on it, be careful." Just as she finished our waitress walked out with our food all talk about bank accounts was silenced.
"Okay, I have to be going now. It was good seeing you, I miss having you around all the time. I love you, Christian. When you and Rose leave the academy for good, come see me."
"Yes ma'am, I love you, too. I'll call you when I find something out." With that she paid the bill and we walked out of the restaurant. I immediately went to find Rose.

*when she got back to her room after Dimitri told her he was leaving*
I can't believe he's actually leaving. I know his sister is having a baby, but I'm not stupid. I know the engagement is the main reason. He should have known it would happen sooner or later, Christian and I have only been together 8 years now. A solid 8 years. I know he loves me, I just thought he had accepted it a long time ago. Apparently I was wrong. Okay, Rose, stop thinking about it. Christian will be here in a couple of hours and you need to get ready. I started cleaning and about an hour later I was finished and got in the shower. These guest suites are so much cooler than our dorms. Hm, I'm going to ask Lissa to come over when I get out. With that last random thought I got out, dried off, and called my best sister.
"Hey, Lis. Wanna come over? Chris won't be home for a while and I'm bored."
"Yeah, I'm leaving now. I was actually about to call and ask if I could come over."
"Alright, I'll see you in a minute. Just come in." With that we hung up and I finished getting dressed.
*2 hours later*
"Alright, Rose, I'm gonna head home, Adrian should be getting back soon." Lissa stood up and gave me a hug.
"Same here, Christian should be getting here any minute now. I'll talk to you tomorrow," I gave her another hug as she walked out of the room. "Love you."
"Love you, too, sis."
As soon as she turned the corner, Christian stepped out of the elevator.
"Hey, baby."I told him with a kiss.
"Hey, beautiful."
"How was dinner with Tasha?" He didn't seem too out of place so it couldn't have been that serious.
"Let's go inside and I'll tell you." I just realized we were still standing in the hallway. We went in and sat on the couch before he started saying anything.
"Okay, so I walked into the restaurant and she immediately started acting weird. Apparently, when the Guardians staked my parents, my mom and dad had left a lot of money behind and now that I'm 18, it's all mine. She couldn't tell me how much is in the bank account, but apparently if I don't say everything correctly, I lose everything. It's some kind of safety thing my parents set up. I don't know, it's weird. The bank is all the way in New Orleans, Louisiana. So, I'm thinking we leave tomorrow, if that's alright with you..." Holy crap, Louisiana?! That's 32 hours! I'm in.
"Sounds perfect, as long as we drive." I told him excitedly.
"Okay, it's settled. I'll get everything set up while you start packing."
A/N: Okay, so, this isn't my best chapter but its kind of just a filler for the trip to the French quarters. How much money do you think his parents left him?(:
