I forgot to say in 1st chapter: I OWN NOTIHNG AS MUCH AS I WISH I WOULD. Richelle Mead rox
Chapter 2
I woke up with a terrible headache (That's what you get if you drink a red bull or two or... you know, more.) being carried by someone.
Better said; being carried by him I realized when I smelled his aftershave in the air. He held me tightly in his arms.
I opened my eyes and in front of me I saw what it supposed to be a camp. Tents, cars and campers everywhere. By looking at it I would say it's full.
Nice. We can go back home.
''Ok. It's full, let's go home,'' I said happily.
''Are you alright?'' Dimitri asked concerned and put me back on ground. I groaned when his arms weren't touching me anymore, wishing so much we could be a normal couple, holding hands in front of all and not hiding it a secret.
Lissa standing beside us understood groan differently and looked at me worriedly. ''Are you okay Rose? Does your head still hurt?''
''I'm fine,'' I waved them off. ''Don't worry. Just a headache.''
''You shouldn't drink, Rose! We could find other way to sent away headache.''
''Like what?'' I snapped.
''Rose,'' Dimitri warned.
''I'm sorry, it's the headache.''
''it's alright,'' Lissa smiled. ''Now let's go camping!'' I groaned.
''Can't you people see it's full?'' I complained to our group. We were walking to a wooden house at the beginning of the camp to check in. House was small, made out of wood with little windows and red doors.
''This is not the camp we will be staying at,'' Alberta clarified.
''Oh great. So we are going to be in cave, cooking on fire and sleeping with bears?'' I said sarcastically.
.
.
.
It turned out we have to walk to our so called camp because it isn't possible to come there with car. So we were walking with all our things on small path thru forest behind camp.
''How much longer?'' I asked. I felt like I was the only one complaining. And I was. Others were walking to our destination in silence, looking straight ahead. Lissa and Christian were holding hands and Mia and Eddie were too close to each other for regular friends. I'm going to have ask Eddie about this.
Other people that I don't know good or not at all were walking together with smiles on their faces. Teachers and Guardians were walking in front of us and behind us making sure we are all save although it was a daylight and no danger.
Only Dimitri was walking besides me in silence looking around us and taking in the view.
''About five minutes,'' Alberta, the only one knowing where is our destination, answered.
.
.
.
We came to a stop at a blue lake with small suites, like houses, around it in rows. People were swimming, jumping in water from diving board in lake and lying on grass, sunbathing. None tents.
My mouth hung open.
''Shut your mouth if you don't want to catch flies,'' Christian smirked.
''Well, it seems like we are here,'' Alberta said smiling.
''Where are the tents?'' I asked amazed.
''It isn't allowed camping here.''
''Oh my gosh!'' I said loudly. This is awesome! No tents! Electricity!''
''I knew you would like it,'' Lissa laughed.
''Why didn't you tell me? I wouldn't be complaining if I knew!''
''Yeah right,'' Christian muttered. I shushed him with my hand and smiled big.
''Okay kids!'' Alberta yelled. ''Houses are for two or four. We need four pairs and three groups with four. Make groups and come to me when you are ready to go in.''
Students were pairing and making groups, few already walking to Alberta.
Lissa passed by me walking up to Alberta, hand in hand with Christian and gave me a sad smile. I gave her a nod, meaning it's alright and I'm not mad if she wants to be with Christian alone. Next pair were Mia and Eddie. I knew there is something going on between these two! Then another pair in love from a grade lover. Katya and Erik, I heard Alberta said. And last pair were Meredith and Anna from our class, both Dhampirs and two best friends.
After that three groups were made and Alberta signed them down giving them keys to go unpack.
This left me alone.
''Rose?'' I turned to Alberta and raised my brows (I can't raise only one).
''Do you mind if you live with a family in one of houses? They overheard our problem with one student too much and offered to stay in with them.''
''Not at all,'' I answered.
''Great. Thank you for not making problems. They will have two houses. You are going to be in the one with a girl around your age, her mother and her grandmother. Is it alright with you?''
I nodded. ''Yes. Mind if I ask who are the rest of family?'' I asked.
''Two more sisters with kids. They will stay in other house. Oh and by the way they are all Dhampirs.''
''Ok. Now let's go,'' I said and lifted my bag.
''I'll show you the way,'' Alberta said and led me.
.
.
.
''We are here,'' she said after minute of walk. We stopped in front of house, same looking as others. Sun was shining on it and front door were opened.
''Knock and go in,'' Alberta said and walked away excusing herself she has work to do. I nodded and raised my fist.
I mean, it can't be that bad living with them.
It won't be.
They must be very good people if they let stranger live with them.
After moment of hesitation I knocked and stepped in.
''Hello?'' I called in the room, with sun shining thru windows making it magical.
A call followed by light footsteps and I was met with two pair of eyes I knew.
I recognized them but at the same time didn't recognize them.
There was something familiar in them.
A girl year or two younger than me and woman in her mid forties with big brown eyes stood in front of me with big smiles.
They were so familiar. Like I have seen them already.
''Hello,'' older woman, mother, said. ''My name is Olena.'' Every word she said was laced with familiar accent like Dimitri's, only stronger. They are from Russia.
''I'm Viktoria,'' girl beside her said and pulled me in a hug. Wow. We just met and she hugged me already. After a moment I relaxed and hugged her back feeling welcomed already.
''Mother went outside for a walk, but she should come back soon,'' Olena smiled warmly. ''What's your name may I ask?''
''I'm Rose.''
''Okay Rose. Feel like at home,'' she said and pulled me in the house grabbing my bag.
.
.

''Oh my god. I can't believe I'll have company. I have to older sisters, you know. Karolina and Sonya are their names. Karolina is the oldest and has son, Paul and daughter Zoya and Sonya is pregnant. Oh and grandmother can be little weird sometimes but don't mind her...And,'' she babbled on and on.
''Can you pass me that?'' I pointed to cosmetic bag.
''...have brother. He's older than me...oh yes sure, there you go,'' she handed me the bag.
We were sitting in the small bedroom with two beds and wardrobe unpacking (well, I was, she was talking with no end).
''Wait... You have brother?''
She stopped in mid sentence and frowned. ''Yes. I told you about him already.''
''I...um.. must of missed it.'' To tell you the truth, I wasn't even listening.
''Oh okey,'' she smiled. ''As I said he is older than me but still younger than Sonya and Karolina. He is 24 and after he graduated went to guard his best friend at the time, Ivan Zeklos. After he was...um, killed he was sent somewhere here to America to be school Guardian I think...''
What the fuck?
24 years old, big family, Ivan Zeklos, sent to America, school...
Dimitri.
''What's his name?'' I cut her off again. She looked at me, annoyed. Oh she must of already said that.
''Dimitri. Dimitri Belikov.''
''Are you alright?'' Viktoria asked. ''You seem in shock.'' No shit! Your brother is my mentor and secret lover and I'm staying with you.
''Um, yeah.''
.
''Oh there you are girls,'' Olena smiled from the door. ''Guardian Petrov came to tell you, you are free today but be ready tomorrow morning as usual for extra practise with your mentor.
What? (!)
I ran to window at other side of room catching Alberta as she was just walking back to her house.
''Are you fucking kidding me?'' I yelled.
She turned around with calm expression. ''Language, Rosemarie.''
''Don't you Rosemarie me!''
''Tomorrow at 5,'' was all she said before turning away and continuing walking.
''At holydays!'' I yelled. ''Give me a break people!''
''Troubles?'' Christian came in the view.
''Fuck off.''
''You fuck off,'' he said with squeaky voice, imitating me.
''I'm serious, Ozera! Get lost before something happens to you.''
''Christian! Come here and live Rose alone!'' Lissa yelled.
''Someone. At least someone!'' I gave my hands in pray-motion. She waved and smiled at me. Later, she said thru bond. I nodded back.
I turned around only to be met by four pairs of big brown eyes. They all had shock written all over their faces.
Oh, well. I forgot I have company here.
''Did you just threaten royal Moroi?'' Viktoria asked shock still written on her face.
''Who? Christian? No problem,'' I shrugged.
''You must be Karolina and Sonya?'' I asked smiling to new faces.
''I'm Karolina,'' woman in her early 30's (i don't know?) shook my hand and smiled at me. ''Nice to meet you, Rose.''
''You too,'' I smiled back.
''I'm Sonya,'' the other women said. She was indeed pregnant as Viktoria said.
''Nice to meet you.''
At that moment a boy around 8 came running in and a small girl crawling on her four as fast as she could behind.
''These are my daughter Zoya,'' Karolina said and lifted Zoya from floor making her giggle ''and my son Paul.''
''Hello,'' I waved at them smiling. Paul shyly hid behind his mother murmuring a ''Hey'' meanwhile Zoya waved back with her tiny hand giggling.
.
.
.
''I have something to show you,'' I said.
Everyone stopped eating Olena's delicious food and looked at me.
''I would like you to come with me tomorrow at five in the morning to my extra practise.''
Expected that? So, Rose met Dimitri's family and she'll live with them during these hollydays. What do you think she wants to show them in the morning? And poor Rose; she still need to practise... or is it that bad? She can be with Dimitri after all...
Please take time to review and let me know what you think. xoxo
