Hi everybody,
this is my first fanfic. please read and review!
will update soon!
Chapter 1
"Roza, don't be scared, we can handle this." Whispered Dimitri, just as the four strigoi were advancing in on us. I stared into Dimitri's warm brown eyes, knowing that no one could ever take my Dimitri away from me again. Or so I thought.
I was suddenly looking down making sure not to look at these strigoi's faces. I don't know what came about me, but I just felt compelled not to look up. "Rose, did you miss me?" I looked up at the voice that sounded so heart-breakingly familiar and felt my world come crashing down as my breath got caught in my throat. "Lis..bu..how..huh" That's all I managed to say as the three other strigoi came into full view. I thought that my heart couldn't break any more, but at this moment I felt numb. Like I was nothing, doing nothing, being nothing. I stared in horror as Lissa, Christian, Eddie and Adrian circled Dimitri and I. I had never imagined this being my death. Not in a million years. Lissa and Adrian sprang at me while Eddie and Christian sprang at Dimitri. I struggled to fight Lissa and Adrian while they kept coming at me, most likely to kill me. I had Lissa pinned on the ground with Adrian trying to fight me. I quickly glanced over to see my Dimitri struggling as he lay on the floor with Eddie holding him down when Christian's sharp fangs sunk into his neck.
It was then that I woke up, my hair sticking to my sweaty forehead and my breathing ragged. I looked at the time on my clock. "shit" I muttered, realizing that I was half an hour late for practice with Alberta. It had been two weeks now since arriving back at the academy after my quest to release Dimitri's soul, which I might add, I horribly failed at, because a week and a half ago I received a package from Dimitri, who I thought I killed, in which contained the silver stake I had staked him with. It also contained a letter from Dimitri saying that he would be coming for me, after graduation. I got dressed in my tank top and sweat pants as quickly as I could and sprinted to the gym.
When I arrived, Alberta was standing there with a really angry look on her face. "I'm so sorry I'm late, Alberta!"
"Rose! This is unacceptable. You have been late almost every training session with me. I am doing this out of my own time, just to help you. You either start coming on time, or I cancel the practice sessions. You got that?"
"Yes, Alberta! Now are we going to train or are you going to keep yelling at me and waste more of your precious time?" I said as I felt my snarky attitude heat up.
"Go and run laps now!" yelled Alberta, pointing out to the oval.
"You got it!" I shouted and ran out onto the oval. Man, it felt good to run. The one downside was that it gave me time to think about things, I didn't want to think about. Things like Dimitri. Oh god, Dimitri. My heart yearned for him at the same time it feared him, knowing that within a month he would be searching. Searching for me. He told me I had two choices. Be killed by him, or be awakened as one of the foul monsters he is, so we could spend eternity together. As tempting as being together with him for eternity sounded and felt, I would rather be killed then have to feast on innocent people to survive.
Another thing I couldn't stop thinking about was Lissa. She hadn't taken the break up with Christian very well and that made her more vulnerable to spirit's side effects. I was glad I could take the darkness away from her but it was really hard for me to see my best friend, my sister, feel so sad and depressed. She always hid it well with a smile, but I knew better.
My thoughts somehow ended up on Adrian. I'd promised him a chance to date me when I got back from my quest. I knew I would regret it later but I thought I should give him a chance because it made him significantly happier and he stopped smoking his clove cigarettes which I really didn't like. I knew I wouldn't be able to love Adrian after the way I felt about Dimitri, and I think he knew it too. I had ran at least 8 laps, and Alberta told me I could go and get some breakfast. She also told me that I needed to be either earlier or on time for practice that afternoon.
I was making my way to the commons for breakfast when I heard someone, who I didn't even notice, standing to my right leaning against a tree say, "Good morning, little dhampir."
I sighed. "good morning Adrian."
