I
was pretty sure I was at least halfway to the highway by now. If not
I
swear id die before I made it. I hated having to walk in this
much
silence and desperately wished id brought an ipod or
something to block out
my thoughts. I still had the buzzing of
the ghosts in my head but I had
tuned them out. I tried to keep
my mind from wandering to
the
subject of what I was planning on doing but I just couldn't keep my
thoughts locked away as well as the ghosts. So I was struggling
down the
road in the blistering heat with tears streaking my
face. It took every
ounce of my strength not to collapse on the
ground and have a major
breakdown and it took even more strength
not to turn around and run back
to the arms of my best friend
Lissa. Well I hoped she was still my
bestfriend. I chose to go
after Dimitri instead of her. Dimitri was the
man im in love with
and I say was because im almost 100% sure he is no
longer the man
I new. There's still that tiny part of me that is hoping
that he
is fighting to stay the man he was. In our recent battle against
the
strigoi Dimitri was taken away and 'awakened'. Awakened is the
term strigoi use for turning someone into one of them. Once your
turned
strigoi your no longer the person you used to be, but
dimitri is strong.
It
had only been 1 hour but I swear I could hear the faint noise of a
car driving past. I started to pick up the pace eager to get out
of this
heat. I was going to hitch hike, but I was armed and
ready if any creeps
tried any funny buisiness. My heart was
pounding as I saw the highway
and a car coming. This is stupid
rose I mumbled to myself. I shuldve
just stayed at the academy.
The car pulled over and it was a women..
Thank god. Not that I
wouldn't be able to handle myself if it was a man.
I mean I've
killed strigoi. I got into the car and told her the address
of
the bank I needed to go to. "Thankyou for this" I told her as she
started driving. She just smiled at me.
"oh
dimitri why did this have to happen we were meant to be together
forever" I whispered to myself.
"What was that dear?"
asked the nice lady.
" Nothing,don't worry."
In just
under 2 hours I arrived at the missoula bank. I offered the lady
money for all her trouble but she promptly declined. The lady at
the
counter in the bank was shocked to see me, seeing as I was in
daggy
clothes and this was a nice looking bank, it was the bank
of missoula
after all. "Can I help you?" she said. I
could tell she was really
forcing her smile. " my name is
rosemarie hathaway and I am here to set
up my account that adrian
ishakov left for me."
You could tell she was surprised by
this, but oh well. She just stood
there mouth openl, gaping at
me. " well are you gunna go get whoevers in
control of doing
that or keep gaping at me?"
" Sorry mam its just you
don't look like someone who'd be with someone
like Mr
Ivashkov."
"Im not "with" him, he is simply
an..... aquaintance."
"Well okay then."
She made
a phone call and shortly after a short man with balding hair
came
out.
He helped me to set up my account and sent me on my way. By
the time I
was outside it was night.
"Shit" I
mumbled.
" Well look what we have here, a little Dhampir."
I
spun around and faced a tall man with blonde hair, but I distinctly
noticed the very pale skin and red rim around his eyes.
