It's been two months since I got Dimitri's first letter, the one telling me that my true love was actually alive and not dead. Yea I royally failed at freeing him. And that was not the first of the letters either, he sends me one every week. They basically all have the same theme, that in the end I'm going to die. Great. And on top of all this I recently broke Adrian's heart, sort of. He gave me his dating proposal a month ago, and I gave him a chance, as in I went on a date with him. It was a nice date, but I just couldn't handle it.
FLASHBACK
"Adrian where the hell are you taking me?!" I said
"On a date little Dhampir, like you said I could."
No shit. "Yea but that doesn't answer the where question."
He was leading me through the woods so we could go on our date. Then I saw it. The cabin. Please Adrian don't let our date be there.
"Here we are Rose."
I couldn't say anything. I just stared blankly, unable to move. This was mine and Dimitri's cabin.
"Little Dhampir, you ok?"
He shook me but I didn't move.
"Come on the foods getting cold."
I finally moved. Ok Rose you can do this, I said to myself. We stepped into the cabin and it looked so pretty. Adrian had decorated it to give it an oriental feel. We were having Chinese food. Then as soon as I registered the depth of where we stood I felt my chest squeeze and tears spring up in my eyes. It was then I realize that with Dimitri still alive, well undead really, that I couldn't be on a date with Adrian, especially in here, in the cabin.
"I'm sorry, I can't do this. I'm not ready."
"Rose you told me you were ready"
"I know what I said, I thought I was but I was wrong. Sorry."
I could tell he was holding back his hurt, but he took it well. "Its ok little Dhampir, I didn't really think you could be"
So we walk back and that's when I realized I could only be just friends with Adrian
END FLASHBACK
A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts I was Lissa carrying a letter.
"The mailman figured I was on my way here, she said to give this to you"
"Thanks Liss." Just fabulous another Dimitri "I'm going to kill you letter."
I took the envelope from Lissa, opened it and read its contents.
Roza,
Only a couple more weeks until we meet again. I have decided what I am going to you when we meet again, but I can't tell you that. Good luck on your trials, though you really don't need it, seeing as you the best in your class. I'm sure you will get Lissa when you graduate, though it will be short lived. See you soon.
Love, D.
"What does it say?" Lissa's voice broke me out of my fearsome thoughts. I knew she knew it was from Dimitri. I handed it over to her and her eyes started to bludge out of their sockets.
"What are we going to do Rose?" Lissa asked
I have yet to tell Lissa about Robert Doru. How we could possibly get my fairy tale back in order and get Dimitri back to a dhampir. I knew she would do anything if there was a chance to get Dimitri back for me, but I don't know how she would react if I told her that we had to break Roberts brother out of jail. Especially seeing that his half brother is Victor Dashkov. Well I was hoping that we could have held off this conversation for after graduation, which was in two more days. Nope I guess not and after I told Lissa, we would have to tell our friends, the more people who were willing to help the better.
"I know something we can do Liss, but I'm not entirely sure if you're going to want to do it."
"Rose I told you, next adventure I'm coming."
"Ok, brace yourself, here's what we need to do…"
