here is part two of... we'll call it the intro
As I pulled back I could see a tear trail on his cheek. I felt my mouth curve in an involuntarily frown, "Oh, dear are you sad? Do I make you feel like crying?" I could feel the fury rising within me, like a wild animal ready to pounce, "You have no right to cry for me!" My fingers fumbled to tear the gag out of his mouth, "Tell me Dimitri, the god of all guardians, why are we here now?" Hysteria had risen in my voice and I pointed to the strong willed novice, "Tell her. Tell her why she has to be here. Explain to her why she has to die today!"
Dimitri had a few consistent tears silently making there way down his face, "Please," there was a pleading tone to his voice, "Please Elena, you don't have to do this." He looked up at me, right into my eyes, "Just let her go and you can do whatever you want to me."
I blinked at him and then looked over to the girl, "Oh dear, that just wont do. This is your... Lover?" I ran a finger down her cheek and then pulled her face up to look at me, "You pour young thing. Isn't he kind of old and dead inside?" I could see a fire in her eyes as if she was ready to fight me. I turned back to him, "I thought there were standards involving teacher and student fraternization?" I traced the side of his face with the back of my hand before pushing his hair back, "Ooh someone's been busy."
"Stop," his eyes pleading with me, "Just let her go. She's not my lover. She's just a stupid novice girl that had a meeting with Arthur." He was trying so hard, it almost made me sad.
I looked to the girl, "I'll let you choose to do this in front of her or I can take you upstairs and we'll talk there." He looked at the girl then back to me then to the ground, "If you don't choose I will and I promise you wont like what I choose." He didn't move not even to glance away from the ground. "So tell me Dimitri, let us start with the facts. A long long time a go there was a young man, Dimitri Belikov, and a young woman Elena Da..."
"Take me upstairs," his lips pushed into a thin line. The girl was looking between the two of us. I nodded to him and took out a taser back out, "Is that re..."
I sighed as his body went limp, "Yes in fact it is." I unhooked his chains and pulled his large body over my small shoulder, all the while my heart bleeding for the pain he was in. The girl was jumping her chair towards us so furiously towards me that she managed to knock herself over. I grimaced at her, "Sorry, you really should have stayed still," and with that I carried Dimitri up the stairs. He was starting to wake up as I set him in a chair at one end of the long dining room table. I quickly set myself across from him. He still had chains on, they just weren't attached to anything. As he blinked himself back into reality and I made a point of setting my taser on the table in front of me.
He took in the tinted windows and me sitting in what little sunlight was there. I followed his gaze to the window and smiled, "I miss the light. I so wish I could go back." I looked back to him knowing that given the chance he would attack. We looked into each others eyes in silence.
A small smile lit his face, "Your eyes look so clear and you are sitting in the light. How is this possible?"
I returned his small smile and matched the grim tone of his voice, "Your guess is as good as mine." I stood up from my seat making sure to grab my taser as I walked over to him, "Please just stay still and don't make me use this on you again." I leaned over his lap, giving him the perfect opportunity to hit me if he was going to, so that I could unholster and take his silver stake from him. I held it in front of him, "It still burns a little, but no more than the day we first met."
He shook his head, "That's impossible."
I slammed the stake back down onto the table, "I'm impossible." I cocked my head to the side having heard the chains falling loose from the basement, so she wasn't just some novice. I took this chance to look into Dimitri's eyes, "Would you like me to unchain you?" I put a hand up indicating he shouldn't answer yet, "You must first promise me that you wont try to kill me."
He thought for a moment and finally nodded. I sat on the table in front of him carefully resting my bare feet on one of his legs. I tapped into myself and the chains loosened from his body. His hand came up to my face before the chains even hit the floor. We stared into each others eyes reminding me of when we were younger. There was a pain in his gaze as his hand molded to my face as if he aimed to memorize it's feel and I know that if I was human I would bruise just from the force that his hand put on my cheek.
"Oh, seriously! What the FUDGE(but she didn't say fudge kids)!"
We were both snapped out of our daze unwrapping our thoughts from each other. I pulled myself back from Dimitri and wrapped my arms around my legs pressing them to my chest. I looked from the girl to Dimitri and back, "Should I leave you two alone?"
Dimitri stared at the girl, glancing my way ever few seconds to make sure I was still where I sat, "Roza, there is much we need to talk about. It's hard to explain. This is..."
He was cut off as the girl yelled charging towards him, "Don't 'Roza' me! This," she frantically gestured at me, "Is a strigoi." Complete and utter astonishment was the only way to describe her, "And... and you are sitting there..." she was stewing about something, "Fondling her!"
