For those of you that are reading this I would just like to inform you that this story is a sequel. However it does make sense without reading the first story- Blood Loss You might want to read it beforehand if you want to. You can go on my page and look for the story called Blood Loss or you can just read the story as is. Whatever you want. Anyway I'll let you read. Tell me what you all think in the reviews.
My body welcomed the cool fall breeze to help cool it down. My legs felt like they were on fire, but I didn't stop. It was an odd pain, the kind of pain you welcomed. But then again, I always run laps in the morning. My body has grown to welcome the pain I feel when it would rather shut down then keep up. Yet still I push myself harder and faster, the breeze on my body getting stronger with me. I feel a hand on my shoulder and it brings me out of my thoughts. I stop, my sneakers making black lines in the track as I do so. I turn around and look into the warm brown eyes that belong to my Russian god. "Time's up Roza." I smile. Back when I was his student he would only really call me Roza when it was a slipup, now he calls me Roza more often than Rose.
"Aw comrade, now I have to wait all the way in till dinner to see you!" I pull off a fake pout to add to the whole thing.
"Ah Roza, dinner will come soon enough don't worry." He leans down and kisses me on the lips softly.
"Yeah but not as soon as I would like." Dimitri just rolls his eyes and doesn't say anything back. We walk back to our room in silence, a comfortable silence. But once he opens the door to our apartment I race to the bathroom, wanting to shower off before him. "I shower first!" I call back.
Once I'm in the shower with the warm water running down my body I hear a light knock on the door. "Yes?" I answer back to presumably Dimitri.
"I just wanted to remind you that we don't have a lot of time."
"Okay." I call back.
Five minutes later I'm out of the shower blow drying my hair with Dimitri in the shower. We both finish getting ready at the same time. We both walk out the door and I lock it behind us. Before I leave I give Dimitri a quick kiss. "See you soon Comrade."
"See you soon Roza." With that we make our separate ways.
I knock twice on Lissa's office door before entering. Eddie is already by her side talking to her. I can see Lissa tapping away at her computer on her desk as she talks to him. Lissa works alongside the queen. Queen bitch as I like to call her is stepping down from her throne in a month or two on one condition. Lissa becomes the new queen. Lissa being the responsible person she is said yes and now every day is a step closer to her being queen. Alongside her nerves she is quite excited and often stays up thinking about it, way too hard and sucks me into her head. However I have been better at blocking out that from happening. We haven't made it public yet but we will soon enough. "Hey Eddie. Hey Liss." They both look up and smile at me.
"Hey." I walk around the desk and stand my Lissa side; opposite of Eddie. I look at what's on Lissa's computer screen and catch a quick glance on the guardian schedule before she quickly shuts it off.
"Hey, what's that about?" I ask.
"What's what about?" She asks. I point at the now blank computer screen.
"Shutting that off so fast."
"It's nothing Rose." I shrug it off and change topics.
"Anything important today?" I ask her.
"Actually, yes."
"Oh yeah? What is it?" I ask curiosity getting to me.
"We are going on a shopping trip!" She claps her hands together in excitement.
"I'm your head guardian Lissa, you should have run this through with me first." She looks a bit sad but the emotion quickly goes away.
"Well I wanted to surprise you."
"Me? Why would you want to surprise me?" I ask.
"Because we haven't really hung out much and all we do is go to meeting after meeting. Today was my first day off with no meetings so I decided to get some guardians so you could relax and we could shop. I look over at Eddie; he nodes his head in conferment. I look back at Lissa with a smile on my face.
"That sounds great Liss."
"Yayy!" She claps her hands together again and grabs the phone off her desk. She quickly calls all the guardians she had previously ordered to come with us today up to her office ready to go and the car to come to the front doors at court. Which there are many front doors to me because they all look the same, but apparently to Liss there is only one front door.
Once all the guardians that we need are in her office we leave to go to the van that waits for us. I pat down all my pockets with no luck of finding my wallet and look over at Lissa. "Lissa, I forgot my wallet." She just waves me off.
"That's fine. I was going to pay for your stuff anyway."
"What? Why?"
"Like I said; my treat."
"Wow, thanks Lissa." She looks over at me with a smile on her lips, her emerald green eyes looking back at my dark brown ones.
"No problem."
The whole trip at the mall was long. That was the only word I could describe it. Lissa had me try on anything within her reach. Which was a lot. By the time we got back to court she had seven bags of new cloths and I had ten. When I dropped her off in her apartment. (That was much too large to really be called an apartment but that's what she called it.) I made my way back to Dimitri and I's place.
I used my house key to unlock the door and walk inside. I quietly drop my bags of cloths from shopping with Lissa all day onto the wooden floor. The apartment is pitch black with the blinds drawn and the lights off. Dimitri and I never close the blind. I think to myself. Someone else was here. I hear the small clash of metal on metal; almost like two empty metal pots hitting against each other. I quickly grab my silver stake out of my jacket pocket. I get ready in my fighting stance and quickly turn on the light beside me to see the intruder. But what I see instead is not what I was expecting, at all.
What did Rose see? Wait for the next chapter to find out. Tell me in the reviews what you all think of the first chapter. Also tell me what you think Rose sees.
