Taking a deep sigh I pulled out my phone and called a number.
It rang a few times until finally someone picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, I'm coming home next week."
Lissa's voice stuttered a bit, "R-Rose?"
"Yeah"
There was silence at the other end and I could feel through the bond that Lissa was both shocked and happy at the same time, so much I suppose that it was pretty much impossible for her to even say anything.
"Lissa you ok?" I finally said.
Her voice was quiet "uh…yeah I'm sorry I just I don't even know…"
"It's ok I know."
She gave a slight laugh at that, "yeah the bond, having been around people for so long who I don't have that with I forgot what it's like to talk to someone who knows what I'm thinking."
I laughed with her, "yeah I bet so how have you been I mean I know you got knew guardians and all that, I was there when you got them, which by the way sorry for getting in your head again."
"Don't worry about it, I'm glad that you can always sort of be with me, and everything's been great Eddie's amazing and the new guy, Guardian Ivankof, he's really nice and easy to get along with."
"Well that's good news I didn't want to have to come back and beat the shit of out some guy for being a lousy guardian."
She gave a soft giggle, "No I really don't think that will be necessary."
I was just about to say something when I got interrupted by Mathew, "Hey Rose are you about ready to go?"
"Rose who is that?" I heard Lissa say into the phone.
"Hang on Liss," I looked towards Mathew, "give me a couple of minutes ok ill meet you down in the lobby.
"All right" he turned went out the door.
"Ok I'm back"
"All right now who was that?"
I gave a small sigh, "That was Mathew…"
"Mathew! Who is Mathew when did u meet him, where are u going with him, how can u trust some random stranger!!..."
"Lissa clam down will you!"
She got silent for a minute, "ok well explain, now!"
"Ok well first relax because he isn't some random stranger, well I mean he was but like, he's Dimitri's cousin."
She was silent for a moment, "oh so,.. I mean…."
I knew what she was gonna ask, I honestly was sort of surprised she asked so late into the conversation. "Yeah.. Dimitri's dead."
"Oh Rose I'm so sorry I know that must have been so hard…"
"Yeah it was but it was for the best I talked to him and he told me he loved me no matter what and that he wanted to be dead, he tried though, to control it I mean, but the blood lust was so strong it just changed him into a whole new being if you could even call it that. He thanked me though; his last words to me were thank you."
"OH ROSE!" I could see in her mind that she just wanted to wrap me in a hug and be with me.
"Look its ok I'm actually going to go meet his family and stuff he asked me too and Mathew's taking me, he's a really nice guy and he helped me find Dimitri really, so I better get going actually."
"Ok well call me later so we can talk more."
"All right"
"Bye"
"Bye" I closed the phone and headed out the door.
We had packed all our belongings and they were down stairs in the lobby. Mathew's aunt had told us to not stay in a hotel, that she wouldn't even hear of it and invited us to stay for a few days in the house. It was during this time that we had to tell them about Dimitri.
I had gone through it over and over in my mind but each time it just didn't come out right. The words just didn't go together. I knew it had to be done and I was glad Mathew would be there with me, through this whole thing I have come to see him as a great friend, some one I could actually count on he had tried to save my life and I had saved his.
I reached the bottom floor where the lobby was and entered to see Mathew standing by the fire place with our things. He turned to face me, "Have a nice phone call?"
A gave a slight smirk "yeah it was alright although I got lectured a bit about going places with strangers which of course means you."
He laughed "Well it is a valuable lecture…"
"Uh huh I'm sure, but I don't know I've meat some pretty nice people who were stranger."
He smirked, "oh really?"
"Psh, I wasn't talking about you."
He rolled his eyes, "well if you don't get over your issue with strangers soon we're going to be late."
I sighed "whatever you say comrade." I went over and picked up my stuff and followed him out, it hadn't really occurred to me that I just called him comrade, that was Dimitri's nickname, or well it was.
As we slowly walked I began to feel guilty about using his nickname it was his after all. I began to think and called ahead of me, "Hey do you mind if I call you comrade, it was Dimitri's nickname, but I…"
He stopped and turned, "go ahead, truthfully I think it's better than any other nickname's I've gotten."
"Ok thanks, oh and what sort of other nicknames have you been called?"
He began to walk again, "I don't tell those things to random strangers."
"Oh right of course."
We continued down the road, the sunlight reflected off the light dusting of snow that fell the night before, I just looked at the ground as I walked. I hadn't realized we were there yet until I bumped into Mathew who had stopped to wait for me to catch up.
I looked ahead to see the house. Smoke was piping from the chimney and I could see the movements of people inside.
Suddenly the elder women I had seen before burst through the doors and rushed towards Mathew.
"MATTY!!" She engulfed him in a hug and I couldn't help but giggle.
She turned to me then, "you must be Rose", she gave me a hug then as well, but the only thing I could think about was that in a few minutes or so I would be telling them about Dimitri.
Hey everyone so I would like to say that I am so sorry for not making this sequel yet! I have been so busy and then I had writers block and all this stuff, but yeah. I hope you liked this first chapter, it's not that eventful but it will get better.
Please review to let me know what you think and can anyone tell me how many siblings Dimitri has and if they had names or any ideas of names for people in his family, the sooner I get that the sooner I can get a new chapter posted. Thanks so much!! XD
