Chapter One
Rose POV
"Love fades, mine has."
With those four words Dimitri shattered my heart. It broke into millions of tiny pieces. I turned on my heel and took off running as fast as I could to my room. Once my door was closed behind me, I collapsed on the ground. Tears streaming down my face.
How could he say that? After everything I had been through for him and done to help change him back, how could he turn his back on me? I broke into a secure prison, released a man who hurt my best friend, and I tracked down a man that pretty much fell off the face of the earth. I must have fallen asleep, because I felt the familiar feeling of being drawn into a spirit dream.
Across the room Adrian was standing with his back to me. "Hello Little Dhampir." Adrian then turned around and he saw my tear streaked face. He knew I never cried so he knew that it was serious. Immediately his face changed to one of concern. "What's wrong? What happened? Who's hurt?"
It only made me cry harder. I could barely get his name out, "D...D...Dim," I didn't even have to finish. Adrian understood that it was him who I was talking about. Adrian scooped me up from the ground and held me in his arms rocking me back and forth. Saying words to try and calm me down.
I don't know how long Adrian held me in his arms, when he asked, "What did that bastard do?"
"He…He said...Love fades...mi...mine...has," I slowly gasped the words out and another wave of sobs racked my body, Adrian just held me tighter.
The dream started to disappear and I heard Adrian say, "Goodbye Rose. I'll see you soon."
I woke to find Lissa shaking me, trying to wake me up. I was still lying on the floor curled up into a ball. "Thank God you're finally awake. I've been trying to find you ever since you didn't show up for your shift over an hour ago. I even tried calling you through the bond. Where have you been?" as she kept talking her voice filled with more and more anxiety. Especially when she saw how bloodshot my eyes were from crying.
"Here," I stated in a dull voice.
"Why? You were late for your shift, that's why I came to find you."
I whispered, "Dimitri."
Lissa interrupted me before I could continue, "Wait! What did I tell you about staying away from Dimitri. He needs time to heal he went through a big change. We don't need him to get upset in public, we don't want to give people anymore reason to think he is still Strigoi."
I jumped up and looked at her, "Me! ME! You want me to stay away from him. Do you even understand how much I went through. I was like his own personal BLOOD WHORE!" I was yelling at her by the time I finished. I couldn't even comprehend how she could say that. She was the only person who knew everything that had happened when I was in Russia.
"Rose!" Lissa was gaping at me. "How could you say that. I get that you went through a lot while he was Strigoi, but he needs to get over his days as a Strigoi. I understand that you love him and that you did a lot for him, but he needs his space. When he sees you it just reminds him of when he was a Strigoi. If I need to have you reassigned to keep you away from him. I will." By the end of her speech I couldn't believe what she said. It's supposed to be friends before guys. How dare she!
"Lissa! Do you even know what he said to me?"
"No, but it doesn't matter. I told you to stay away from him. Do you listen? No, you never have!"
"He told me love fades, mine has!"
"That shouldn't matter Rose. If you had stayed away from him, he never would have said that to you until he had fully figured out his feelings." Why would Lissa say that? Didn't she see how much I loved him? How would she feel if our roles were reversed and it were me trying to keep her away from Christian?
"Lissa, if you don't agree with me that what he said to me was wrong then leave. But I want you to know that if that is how you feel then I don't want to be your friend."
"Good! I don't want to be your friend either. But have you ever thought that maybe he doesn't need you? Maybe what he said is true!" She turned on her heel and walked to the door. "Goodbye, Rose. I am going to have you reassigned and I know you won't like it!" Lissa slammed the door behind her.
I immediately blocked the bond and made sure I wouldn't take anymore of her darkness, she can deal with it on her own. Lissa can learn to live with the darkness I only took it from her, because I cared about her. I'm so tired of helping her out and giving up my life for her when she hardly does anything for me, let alone put her life on the line for me.
I walked over to my closet, grabbed my suitcase, and started to pack all my belongings. When I was finished I put the suitcase on the ground and walked to the door headed to Hans's office.
