Chapter Two: So the drama begins…
After talking with Tasha and catching up, I told the guardians that I had to return Lissa's kids to her. They nodded, and went on fighting. I walked over to the kids, who were looking wide eyed at the new visitors. "Guys, this is Tasha and Guardian Belikov," Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Dimitri studying Ari. "I want you to be nice to them, because they are our guests." They nodded, and Ari ran up to me. I caught her when she jumped up. "Mommy, is that your mentor? Because he seemed to know all your moves and stuff," she babbled excitedly. She always adds 'and stuff' when she's going to start blabbing on, so I just nodded and she went on. Paying only a little attention to my daughter's voice, I focused my eyes on Dimitri. He still hadn't changed, still the Russian God I remember. His hair seemed a little longer, but it was barely noticeable. Beside him, Tasha was talking to Melanie. "Do you know what element you specialized in, Melanie?" she asked, looking down on the little four-year-old. I could tell she didn't like him by the way she looked straight ahead. She wouldn't look Tasha in her eyes. I think she figured out I didn't like her, and she always seemed to copy me. Smart girl. "Spirit," she answered simply, still not looking at her. Melanie had used that tone Lissa had when she didn't like someone but still had to be polite. "I'm not surprised from your mother's abilities." Tasha looked up at Dimitri who was still studying Ari like some kind of science experiment. "Do you know who your father is?" Dimitri asked suddenly, directing it towards Ari. Oh, hell…He did not just say that…
"No," she answered. By then we had arrived at Lissa and my house. We entered, and were greeted by Liss with a hug; A rather short one for Dimitri and Tasha. Liss and Christian knew about me and Dimitri, so Lissa and Christian started hating him and Tasha. Well, Christian couldn't really hate her because he was his family, his only family; but he disliked her. Tasha didn't know about Dimitri and me, so I planned to keep it that way. Although I'm pretty sure Tasha and I would have a 'talk' very soon. Lissa herded us to the dining room, where chicken lay on a platter with plates and forks around the chicken. We all sat down and digged in. After a couple minutes of small talk, Tasha asked a dangerous question. "Do you have any idea who the father is?" She asked me. "Some random Moroi," I answered coldly, my eyes slipping into Dimitri's iron gaze. He glanced away three seconds later. I took a bite of cornbread. Tasha leaned back into her chair, obviously noticing the small exchange between Dimitri and I. She glared at me with daggers. Being Rose Hathaway, I glared back. She flinched a little, and then started eating again. It was going to be a long night.
A/N So I was going to end it here, but I'm done with homework so…
After dinner, we all went to the living room. Sitting down on the leather couches, Christian put on a movie for the kids, and popcorn in the microwave. Ari jumped onto my lap and curled up with a blanket, watching intently as The Land before Time (One of my fave movies from when I was a kid!) subtitles came onto the screen. I only paid half a mind to what was being said between Tasha and Lissa, because I was too busy watching Dimitri. Even now, three years later, his eyes still captured mine. He turned his head and met my eyes. In his eyes I saw regret and longing, and…Confusion? He glanced away quickly, and noticed Tasha glaring at me. "Rose, can I talk to you privately?" Tasha asked. Her voice was calm, but her eyes were cold. "Sure," Ari was asleep already so I gave her to Lissa, who took her. What's going on, Rose? What did you do? She sent through the bond. I shrugged and followed her out to the patio. She turned to me, anger burning in her crystal eyes. "What happened between you and Dimka before I asked him to become my guardian?" she demanded. Oh, great. There goes my well thought out plan…
I have to go, but more sometime this week! Not sure how I will fit Updating through all of this Junior High stuff… Promise more And Now That I'm Strong sometime…!
All the best,
