Hi everybuddi :)
Just giving the last warning: If you haven't read Spirit Bound don't read this one-shot. Because there is a small section from the book that I added in at the beginning. If you've read passed pg 407 then read it :)
If not and you don't want me to spoil it for you, then don't.
This one-shot starts from pg 404-406 (After Dimitri is being questioned by Reece with Lissa and Rose there), and also in italics will be what's in the book. Normal writing is my own.
So anyway I hope you all enjoy it and if you do, then please review :)
Rose's POV (Obviously haha)
This caused more laughter, and the third Moroi interrogator, who'd been quiet, snorted and rose from his seat. "I've seen all I need to. I don't think he should walk around unguarded, but he's no Strigoi. Give him a real place to stay and just keep guards on him until further decisions are made."
Reece shot up. "But-"
The other man waved him off. "Don't waste any more time. It's hot, and I want to go to bed. I'm not saying I understand what happened, but this is the least of our problems right now, not with half the Council wanting to rip the other half's heads off over the age decree. If anything, what we've seen today is a good thing- miraculous, even. It could alter the way we've lived. I'll report back to Her Majesty."
And like that, the group began dispersing but there was wonder on some of their faces. They too were beginning to realize that if what had happened to Dimitri was real, then everything we'd ever know about Strigoi was about to change. The guardians stayed with Dimitri, of course, as he and Lissa rose. I immediately moved toward them, eager to bask in our victory. When he'd been "knocked over" by Jonathan's tiny punch, Dimitri had given me a small smile, and my heart had leapt. I'd known then that I'd been right. He did still have feelings for me. But now, in the blink of an eye, that rapport was gone. Seeing me walk towards them, Dimitri's face grew cold and guarded again.
Rose, said Lissa through the bond. Go away now. Leave him alone.
"The hell I will," I said, both answering her aloud and addressing him. "I just furthered your case."
"We were doing fine without you," said Dimitri stiffly.
"Oh yeah?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "You seemed pretty grateful a couple minutes ago when I thought up the idea of you helping us against Strigoi."
Dimitri turned to Lissa. His voice was low, but it carried to me. "I don't want to see her."
"You have to!" I exclaimed. A few departing people paused to see what the racket was about. "You can't ignore me."
"Make her go away," Dimitri growled.
"I'm not-"
ROSE!
Lissa shouted in my head, shutting me up. Those piercing jade eyes stared me down. Do you want to help him or not? Standing here and yelling at him is going to make him even more upset! Is that what you want? Do you want people to see that? See him get mad and yell back at you just so you don't feel invisible? They need to see him calm. They need to see him…normal. It's true- you did just help. But if you don't walk away right now, you could ruin everything.
(A/N: Ok; now the rest is what I personally wrote)
I glared at her. "So that I not feel invisible huh, Lissa?" I shot back at her.
"Rose-"
"No. See this is what you don't get and will never get, Lissa. Why don't you try to see how I feel, how about you try to step into my shoes," I never took my eyes off her. "How would you feel if Christian wouldn't want to see you?"
"He doesn't anyway. And it isn't the same-"
"Bull-fucking-shit, Liss. Don't mess with me; I know you still love him. I know that every time you pass him you wish you two were together. Now just picture him turning Strigoi, then becoming a Moroi again and not ever wanting to see you because of the horrible things he has done," I spat.
I turned to him. "And you, if you haven't realized this yet, Dimitri, I love you. I will always love you and nothing you do will stop that. The stuff you did to me? Learn to forgive and forget! Because at the first second I saw that you changed back to yourself, I forgot all those stuff. I forgot what you used to be; because all I could think about is that you were my Dimitri again. My Dimitri, you understand? Just like I'm your Rose."
Both stared at me speechless. His eyes were soft but his jaw was tight.
Lissa finally built up the courage to talk. "Rose, I-"
"And what if it was me with Christian and I was telling-"
"This is unfair, Rose. I'm doing this to help him," she growled.
"And have you noticed that you're going over the top?"
"No, I'm not. I'm protectin-"
I scoffed. "Yeah, he really needs another mother in his life."
"Rose! Are you hearing yourself?" she retorted.
"Yeah, I am. The question is are you hearing me? Are you two planning to-"
"I'm protective of him because I feel as if-"
"Save it for someone who cares."
"Rose, will you listen to her," Dimitri hissed.
I glared at him. "Sticking up for her are we? What, now you've got feelings for her?"
"There is nothing going on between us, Rose," she said. "How could you think that?" she yelled
I glared at both of them. Not only were they hurting me but also making me do something I have barely done.
Something wet started to fall down my cheek.
I frowned then rolled my eyes when I found out what it was.
Tears.
And a lot of them.
"Rose-"
Lissa started to move forward. I stepped back, she stopped looking hurt.
"You see what you have done to me. Since when do I cry, Lissa? When? Never!" I screamed at her.
"Look I know you're upset but-"
"Upset doesn't even cut it," I said wiping tears away.
"Rose, please," she begged.
I glared at her with as much intensity as I could.
"No."
She knew what I meant. I wouldn't give up.
That one word hung around us like a black cloud.
This is my cue to leave, I thought.
"This isn't over," I said.
I started down the pathway. Lissa called my name a few times but I didn't look back. All I knew was that she pissed me off so much that I couldn't be anywhere near her at the moment.
So I walked away.
But something hadn't changed and that was the way I felt about Dimitri.
One way or another. I'm going to get my Dimitri back.
A/N: Hi everyone :)
Hope you liked it. It was a bit shorter than I expected it to be :S
But that's ok :)
So please review
