As I got out of my dorm, my body was moving towards the party, but my brain wasn't conscious of anything I was about to do.
It kind of freaked me out, not only was I talking to people I didn't like, but I was also laughing hysterically with them. I saw Dimitri sitting on the side, keeping a close eye on Lissa, which I always found annoying, because I can take perfectly good care of her myself. I started to walk towards Dimitri greeting him with a far wave. As I was walking to him, I noticed my direction shift and walk towards Mason. What?! Mason?! Why the hell am I going to Mason when Dimitri is right there!? Mason saw me and came like a running cheetah to me.
Ugh, great.
"Hey Rose!" he greeted joyfully.
"Oh, hey there Mason, how are you?" I said in such a dull way.
"I'm good, and you? What changed your mind to come in the end?"
"I really don't know, I just found myself getting dressed and heading out my dorm."
"Sounds like you got hypnotized" he teased.
Then I thought about it. Could I have been hypnotized? Could Lissa have put me under her mind controlling thing? No, she couldn't have! Or did she…
"Haha yeah, hypnotized, very funny." But my smile turned into a frown. I saw that my vision moved from Mason's face and caught the gaze of Lissa looking towards me and smiling.
Would she have actually done that to me? If she did, I'd be seriously pissed off.
But then, I couldn't help controlling my anger, and I moved towards Lissa. She caught my eyes fiercely looking at her, and I sensed confusion between our bond. Not only confusion, but also a bit of depression. That's when I walked slower, and I kind of felt sorry for her. I mean, maybe she just wanted me to be happy, she'd never do anything to tick me off. I arrived to Lissa and her friends.
"Hey" I casually said.
"Hey Rose, having fun babe?"
"Um, yeah I guess…"
"What's wrong? I thought you'd have a good time, I was certain, or else I wouldn't have—" and then she stopped talking. Oh my god! She did mentally order me to go out of my dorm!
"You didn't! Lissa! Did you, you know what?" with a raging tone.
"I… I only did it for your sake. For you to remember how your life was before Dimitri happened. You never fell in love remember?! Love wasn't a word in your dictionary. You were the party girl. My party girl."
I probably understood how she felt. Maybe because I always know how she feels. But there was absolutely nothing I can do. I'm into Dimitri, and I think I actually love him. Except I cant tell anyone that.
"I'm sorry Lissa, but this isn't something I can control. I didn't want this any more then you did, but that certainly doesn't mean you can control me. Or else there will be serious consequences." I said.
"Oh really? And what are you going to do about it? No offence, but I have way more power than you. Watch."
I suddenly felt tones of orders flowing through my head. Have a good time, but my brain thought something different. Get out of here now.
"You're going to go and have fun with Mason. You're going to remember this night for ever, all the fun is right over here. This night will be your unforgettable night. Now go, Mason is waiting for you." She said in a tone that my senses could not decline.
So I found myself walking towards Mason again. I noticed Dimitri from the corner of my eye watching me in despair. I suddenly hugged Mason and took his hand.
"You wanna have fun? Let's get out of here." I said in a flirty way.
"I thought you'd never ask."
I had his hand in mine, locked tightly. We walked out of the room with all eyes on us. But I didn't care, because for a weird reason, he's all I really wanted at the moment.
We walked in the hallway, and again everyone was staring at us, which didn't surprise me, because I never imagine myself hand in hand with Mason.
We were walking towards my dorm.
And that's when it all happened.
