I woke up in a dizzy haze. The pillow next to me was empty, which made me wonder were had Dimitri gone. I heard a knock on the door.
"Go away!" I yelled.
"Rose it's me, Lissa. You know the best-friend you risked your life for and got elected for Queen." Lissa shouted back.
"I'm getting dressed," I lied
"No, you're not you liar," she said while opening the door.
"You didn't know that," I spat. It's not normal for me to actually argue with my best-friend; but, for some reason I couldn't help it today.
"Rose calm down, you have to get up. You have a job to do," she said in a chastising voice. I broke into a grin and so did she.
"Yes I do, your majesty," I said.
"Ugh, you know I hate that," she groaned.
"And you know I hate being woke up," I noted, "Anyway on to more important topics….where's Dimitri." Lissa laughed and I just waited.
"Get dressed and I'll take you to him," she said while shaking her head.
"Fine, but only because Dimitri and you are going to be there,"
"We'll not exactly just us three. Um… there's three more," Even with out the bond I knew who they were. Christian, Marcella and…
"No Liss, no! Not Adrian, he's still mad at me for what I've done to him," I pleaded.
"Rose, he promised to not bother you about that,"
"Fine but if he does I will—"
"I know Rose, you'll leave, and"she snapped, "Sorry it's just—"
"I know all the stress," I finished. She nodded left me to get dressed. I quickly put on my guardian clothes. White blouse, Black jacket, black slacks and black shoes that were highly uncomfortable now. I put my black and red checkered coat and matching ear muffs. I hurriedly put my hair in a pony tail and grabbed my stake. I ran out the door and found Lissa and Marcella waiting for me.
"'Bout time chick," Marcella said while grinning. Marcella is Lissa's other guardian. She may be only 15; but, can take out groups of strigoi at time. Marcella is even more reckless, cocky, an egomaniac, and lethal than me.
"Hey, at least I can keep a boyfriend," I teased
"Hey! I can! And at least I can pick up more men than you," she replied, "Anyway I just asked Lissa if I can have my boyfriend come to lunch with us."
"Oh, great another black person," I teased. Now I'm not racist, Rosemarie Hathaway is not racist. It's an inside joke me and Marcella share about each guy she starts dating.
"Not in front of Liss now, she'll think your racist," she said sarcastically.
"Come on you two," Liss said while pulling Marcella's sleeve.
"Hey what did I do," Marcella complained.
"Turning my best friend racist," Lissa growled. I laughed and followed them out to the car.
The car ride wasn't quite long, just silent and that drove me crazy. Worst of all they wouldn't let me drive. I was bored out of my mind; I even tried provoking Marcella and if you've seen her mad you would've never thought of annoying her. But of course she ignored me. Finally the car stopped and I jump out the car. Marcella and Lissa stared at me like I was some maniac.
"Well," I said, "I was bored and cramped up in that car." They laughed. A car pulled up next to us. A black haired, blue eyed boy jumped out of the car just as I had. Adrian climbed out of the car after the boy. The Christian and Dimitri climbed out of the passenger and driver's seat. The boy ran to Marcella and gave her a hug.
"I can't believe you left me with those guys. Their not as fun as you explained them to be," the boy said. We all laugh at him.
"I never said they were fun. I said one's grieving, one's Russian and one's dating the queen of Moroi, DJ," Marcella said.
"Well, the Russian I met was a freaking ninja, figuratively speaking, and I've only met people who cut themselves when their grieving." DJ said.
"Well, he's different," She replied, "Oh, I also invited my sister."
"Which one, your twin or the older one?" I asked.
"The older one, Alicia," Marcella said, "And I kind of told she was going on a quadruple date with Adrian."
"What! Why?" Adrian shouted.
"Because I miss how you're almost perverted as me," She said. That made us all stifles our giggles.
"I don't even know her," He said.
"Don't worry I told her it was a blind date," she said matter of fact.
"Fine," He groaned.
"Thank you!" Marcella said while hugging him. I heard a growl from DJ. "DJ, stop it," Marcella yelled.
"Sorry, just a little case of jealousy," He said while rubbing the back of his head and grinning.
"Come on let's go in and eat," said Dimitri.
"Hold on, let us wait for my sister," Marcella said. We all nodded. Then a black and red mustang that said 'Marcella' on it pulled up into the parking lot. I glanced at Marcella and she was fuming. Her fists were clenched tight into balls.
"What are you doing with my car and what the hell did you do to it!" Marcella barked.
"Taking it for a spin sis," Alicia said while stepping out of the car. Adrian's mouth dropped when he saw Alicia. Marcella charge at her sister to hit her, but Alicia was to fast and caught her wrist.
"I'll kill you," Marcella growled. Alicia said a word in Japanese and Marcella's necklace pulled her to the ground hard.
"Stop!" Lissa yelled. They turned toward her to listen. "You two are sisters and you shouldn't fight," Marcella and Alicia both laughed, which shocked Lissa.
"I'm sorry your majesty, but we weren't really fighting. If we were I would have drawn my sword," Alicia said.
"Don't call me that," Lissa growled. We all laughed but Marcella. She just shook her head.
"But you don't have your sword," Marcella said.
"It's in the car," Alicia said.
"I'm your date," Adrian said to Alicia.
"Yes you are," Alicia said.
"Come on I'm starting to like Dimitri's idea," Christian said. So we followed each other inside and got ready for one chaotic day.
