It seemed I was going to get my lecture before I got any answers. Dimitri looked over at me and spoke before I could start.

"I know you have questions but first we need to talk. I'm not going to say that I'm happy with you right now because I'm not. You should have come to me to ask for help. I will always be here for you, but I can't help you if you don't talk to me." He stopped me before I could say anything. "I knew what you were up to when I saw you come from the library. So I decided to go to Alberta and ask to make this trip a school thing and ask if, as your mentor, I could be the one to go with you. She agreed and here we are. I'm not going to go on about how un-responsible you were acting, or how foolish you were being. You know better and you would have just gotten yourself into trouble or worse." He left it at that knowing that I knew all he wanted to say and the most important part being that he and Liss could have possibly lost me, and we both knew that neither of them could handle that.

"I know, and I'm sorry. I just thought you would stop me and not let me go. I couldn't risk it, it never crossed my mind that you would help and come with me. And I'm so sorry it didn't." I added when I saw hurt in his eyes. He nodded and I knew that the worst was over. I was surprised that he hadn't drag me over the coals.

Just then the flight attendant came up to get our drink order. Having the extra money from Adrian was already a plus, the only was to fly was like this, and I had to admit being able to upgrade the coach seats the Academy booked us to first class was amazing! I decided then that I could get my questions in.

"So why exactly are we going to Siberia? I mean it will be cool to see where you're from and all but I didn't bring any heavy winter clothes."

Dimitri sighed "Rose your idea of my home is absurd. It's almost summer it will be a lot like Montana. And we are going there because friends of my family live there and one is a spirit user I believe, and she has known others so she might be able to help you and Lissa. The other is because Abe Mazur is there and couldn't come to us. And it is a BONUS that I get to see my family and they can meet you." He finished with a grin.

"Who's Abe Mazur? Wait, did you just say your family!?" I freaked. I knew Dimitri was the only guy for me ever but meeting his family. I didn't think I was ready yet. What if they didn't like me, or think I'm not good enough for Dimitri?

Seeming to read my mind Dimitri's face softened as he spoke "They will love you, because I love you, don't worry. Plus they don't have the same views when it comes to age or anything else for that matter. They are very open minded when it comes to relationships. They won't care how we met or why, just that I'm happy, so calm down. Also, Abe Mazur is a man who knows just about everything in our world, and what he doesn't know, he can find out. He isn't a royal but has just as much, if not more, power than most. He will be able to help track your mother down once we get to Scotland, and will be very helpful in everything."

There was something in his eyes that told me he wasn't telling me the whole truth but I decided to drop it for now.

"Oh and you should know Alberta knows."

"Knows what?" I asked confused. He gave me a pointed look and it took me a second to grasp his meaning. Panic pure and simple washed through me when I realized what he meant. "You mean about us!" I said a bit too loudly but I didn't care I was freaking out.

"Calm down, yes about us. And after a huge lecture she let it go and said not to let anyone know until you graduate."

I was speechless. She didn't care? How was that possible and how did she know? We were so smooth I thought.

"I'll tell you the details later I just thought you deserved to know"

"Fine" I grumbled.

I was lost in thought after that. There was a lot to process. Alberta knew, I was going to meet Dimitri's family, some strange guy was going to help us, and there might be a spirit user who could help me and Lissa. Wow that was a lot. Dimitri let me process in silence for a while and wrapped an arm around me.

I woke up with a jerk. I must have fallen asleep at some point and I was awoken by something. I heard over the intercom the pilot say something first in Russian then in English about turbulence.

I haven't really flown much other then the school's jet so crossing over seas was new and I had never experienced turbulence before. It kind of freaked me out now as it kept getting worse and worse. I felt like I was in a blender or something.

Dimitri woke as soon as I had and pulled me even closer to him then I was. I looked into his face and he smirked a little.

"You've never experienced this have you?"

"No, will we be okay?"

"Yeah nothing to worry about it's perfectly normal." He stared rubbing my shoulder in a calming way.

"Okay if you say so." I said as my stomach started to growl, which made him chuckle.

"Let me see if the flight attendant can get us something."

He waved the young lady over and she said she'd get us some pretzels, seeing as breakfast would be served in about thirty minutes.

When she brought our snack she also brought what looked like bags with blankets and stuff in them. She said that we were already asleep when she handed them out earlier and that they were ours to keep. We said thanks and I dug in to see what all was there.

To my amazement there were two blankets, a pillow, socks, slippers, an eye cover, wet naps, and a little bottle of lotion. I was stoked!

We sat there in a comfortable silence for most of the reminder of the flight except for little things like when we got our food. It was nice and I was glad that Dimitri made it so that we would be together.

I decided when the pilot said we had just over an hour left that I'd check in on Lissa. Boy was that a mistake, I should have looked at a clock because when I let my guards down and slipped into her head. She was with Christian and it was getting heated! I so didn't want to continue but of course the happiness Lissa was feeling made it extra hard.

"Rose? Roza?" Dimitri said giving me a slight shake. Giving me that little extra strength to pull out and put my guards back in place. I looked over at his worried expression gratefully.

"Sorry thanks for bringing me back." He still looked really concerned and proceeded to ask a surprising question.

"Are you alright? I saw that you went to Lissa but then the look on your face changed and I got worried."

I felt my face turn blood red and responded with "I'm fine comrade, don't worry." Damn from the look on his face he knew I was lying and I had a feeling he wasn't going to let it go.

He gave me the one eyebrow look that said don't even think about lying tell me the truth now. I thought about it and decided to try and evade his question.

"Wouldn't you like to know what's going on in a young girls mind." I said sarcastically. He just rolled his eyes at me the only acknowledgment that I made a joke. So I sighed and tried to think of a smooth way to tell him, but of course it only came out ten times more awkward.

"Well I forgot to look at the clock when I was checking in on Liss and well, um.." I was really hoping he'd get the hint but of course not. "Well she was with Christian and well you know... ( he just kept staring at me blankly).. they were having sex okay!" I had gotten a little too loud at the end and blushed further. It was almost worth the look on Dimitri's face, he blushed and looked like I had just punched him in the stomach. It was hilarious. Well it would have been if the next things to cross his face weren't compassion, realization, and then settling on steamy. My stomach dropped and I could barely breathe.

All of a sudden every detail from our time in the cabin raced through my mind, and I thought I would explode from the need to be with him again.

Looking into his eyes I pushed myself closer to him not knowing that it was possible to do so, and kissed him on the lips. At first it was a soft innocent kind of kiss but then he deep end it with a sudden burst of hunger and passion. Before I knew what I was doing I had climbed into his lap with my hands in his hair. His were around my waist and starting to roam. When suddenly he pulled back and sat me in my seat. We were both breathing heavily and I was about to protest when he leaned down to whisper in my ear "Later. We can't here."

I sighed as a shiver ran through my entire body and nodded in anticipation.

A few minutes later I heard him chuckle. When I turned around he was smiling knowingly at me.

"What?!"

"I just realized that that's why you were so worked up a few weeks back. I couldn't figure out why you'd go outside angrily mumbling to yourself in the middle of the night, now I know. They woke you up didn't they?" Ugh how did he figure these things out! I decided that I would not grace him with an answer and pulled away from him, while flipping my hair so he couldn't see my face.

I finished out the remainder of the flight that way just looking out the window. I could feel his eyes on me but I decided to let him sweat for a bit and then forgive him once we got to the hotel. If I was being honest I wasn't upset with him; but I was being mean and had an evil plan to make it up to him later.
