Just keep walking rose, don't look back. I said to myself. I kept trying to resist the urge to turn around and run back to my best friend. to wrap my arms around her and wipe away those angry tears that had just spilled over her cheek. I could feel her eyes boring into my back. I could sense the feeling of resentment and betrayal radiating from her. It hurt.
she just doesn't understand. I felt my heart hardening, trying to block itself from lissas emotions. Because I knew that nobody could understand. To understand this feeling as though half of my heart, my soul, had just been torn away. I saw my eyes begin to blur as the tears began to show its ugly face.
no I wont cry, not the new rose. Ill be strong, for dimitri…ahh stop thinking about him. I pushed away the tears and kept on going.
I was soon far away from the academy, but I could still feel the touch of lissas mind. She hadn't moved, still staring at the spot where I used to be. Pushing that thought aside, I began to plan my way to Russia. Though I carefully avoided any thoughts about what I would do when I found him. I knew what I had to do but I still didn't want to think about.
I looked around at my surroundings, still deep in the woods, with the light from the afternoon sun beating down on me. It would soon be dark and I would have to find a place to sleep. Even with my new sense I still didn't want to be stuck outside if any of the strigoi were hanging around.
I had been walking for nearly 2 hours now and it seemed to me that my surrounding never changed. just trees and bushes, I began to wonder if I had been going the right way. Just as that though passed, I saw the opening to the rode. I felt relief was all over me as I sprinted to the opening. I could think of nothing more than the fact that I was on way to starting this journey.
I was almost there, I could see the paved road and the light. I could here the happy voices of the humans who had no idea of the war that had just happened. I was so close….and I tripped. how anti-climatic rose, I gathered up my bag and reached for its spilled contents. All my precious belongings. My hand halted as I past over a piece of paper. I didn't remember putting it there. I unfolded it, and my heart stopped. My palms became sweaty, and my mind couldn't make a coherent thought. Because it just wasn't possible…
It was from dimitri.
