Lissa and I were walking towards the moroi dorms after classes, to finally talk about what we planned to do about the Dimitri (wince) situation. After I received the note that tore my heart out, again I began to think the unthinkable. Rescue vicktor. I knew that I would never have the strength to kill him again; it was just too much pain, a pain that I would surely die from.
"Do you think that you'll be able to do it?" lissa spoke, snapping me out of my reverie. Sometimes I wondered if the bond was only one way when she asked questions like that.
I truthfully answered, "I will do everything to protect you" skillfully dodging the question.
She abruptly stopped walking, stepping in my way so that I almost ran into her. Her expression told me that she knew exactly what I meant when I said that. "Alright, I don't know what will happen when he finds me, but I will make sure that nothing happens to you." Apparently I'm not as skilled at dodging questions as I thought I was. I'll have to work on that.
Sympathy, pride, and trust shot through the bond, lissa always trusted me even when I left to hunt Dimitri. Lissa is the only one that knows about what actually happened when I was kidnapped, and the only one that knows how much pain I'm actually in. Just as we rounded the corned to her dorm, Jesse and Ralf walked out, but as soon as they saw us they stopped short.
"I bet she left to be a blood whore, but couldn't get a bite, so she came back." Jesse said just loud enough for me and lissa to hear. I stopped short and just about ripped his face off! Lissa sent me calming messages through the bond, saying I can't get kicked out now. I'll never be her guardian if I do.
Instead of killing them both, Jesse because of the things he says and Ralf, well just because he's Ralf, I just smiled sweetly at them and said, "I could kill you right now but that would get me kicked out so I'll only say this once, leave me the fuck alone and if you ever say anything about me again I will kill you……….painfully." Jesses smug face turned to one of horror as he processed my words. Apparently my sweet voice was that much more intimidating, than my yelling voice. Nice.
They quickly retreated, and I looked over to lissa and saw fear in her eyes, and deeper a look of pride. "What?" I asked confused by what I saw in her eyes.
"R-Rose" she stuttered out, " I never knew that you could be that intimidating."
"Come on liss you know that me killing them is highly unlikely." I said with a smirk.
"I know but…….wow you've really changed, haven't you?" she stated sounding more like herself, but she still looked at me as if I had two heads.
I really didn't really feel like having this conversation in the middle of the quad, especially in public so I decided to change topic, quickly, "Yeah…..so lets go to the lounge and watch a movie, we could invite Christian, and Adrian if you want."
"That sounds great since we all haven't really had a chance to catch up since you got back. I'm thinking we could watch comedy" lissa said but while thinking and get your head off of all this drama and Dimitri.
After the movie was over and I headed back to my dorm I decided to take a nice hot shower. I was about to go to bed when there was a knock at the door, I quickly got up and answered it. Standing in the doorway was a pretty young moroi girl with a package for me, which I took quickly and thanked her. When I opened the package, inside was a rose dipped in blood, as I picked it up a note fell to the floor. It read :
My dearest Roza,
I miss you very much, but we will be together very soon,
You can count on that. I thought that you might like this.
See you soon.
Love D
P.S say hello to the princess for me
I could handle him threatening me, but when you brought my family into this, you've crossed a line! I saw red at the end of my vision. As I got angrier and angrier I lost control and felt the darkness take hold of me. Then everything went black.
