So, here it is... The next chapter. I had been lying in bed trying to think of what could happen when an idea hit me! Please read and review and let me know what you think of this idea. *Blood Promise Spoilers*
Thanks, VampireBookAddict for your review. Reviews are what keep me writing and I will post the next chapter if I get another review. :D
I do not own this story, all rights to Richelle Mead, etc.
Hope you like it! :D
"Rose Hathaway?"
I glanced up at Galina giving her my best smile, making sure my fangs showed, "Yes."
"If you turn out to be any less fantastic than Belikov has described you then we will have to dismiss you. Is that understood?"
I glanced at Dimitri.
"By dismiss, she means kill" he whispered.
I straightened up and nodded, "I'll give my all, Galina."
Satisfied, she sat down on her chair and went back to reading her book, "You may take her for her first feed now Belikov."
Dimitri nodded and grabbed my arm tightly, "Of course," he hissed. He dragged me out of Galina's library and pulled me towards the exit. I pushed his arm off me, spun around and pushed him against the wall, my hands wrapped around his throat.
"I can walk myself," I spat.
He squirmed and tried to release himself but I stayed firm, being in control sure was a great feeling. So was the fact that I would never be sucked into Lissa's mind again. I released him and he backed away from me, walking at a distance.
I had no idea where all that had come from and I quickly rushed to his side wrapping my arms around his waist.
"Dimitri, I'm so sorry! I don't know what came over me!" I cried. He was laughing.
"Roza, this is not a bad thing. The Strigoi in you is taking over…"
I backed myself against the wall, Dimitri by my side, as I saw two humans exit a hotel. They were holding hands happily, gazing at each other with such love. With a pang it reminded me of what had occurred in the cabin. I shook it off and got back in Strigoi mode.
The boy turned to the girl and pulled her towards him. They began to make out right in front of us, moaning and running their hands through each other's hair.
I stepped out from the shadows and felt Dimitri's gaze on me. The couple, embarrassed, stopped making out and began apologizing to me. I smiled and exposed my fangs. The girl screamed and began to run but Dimitri jumped out and carried her to a dark alleyway, where he would drain her of her blood.
The boy backed up and stared at me. "Where have you taken her? What's he doing to her?" he yelled, trying to appear ferocious. I laughed and ran towards him, grabbing him by his collar.
"They are both really enjoying each others company," I giggled.
"I'll call the police!" he cried. Then he froze. We could hear the moans coming from the alleyway, "No…" he whispered. As if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"And now, you and I will enjoy each others company," I said spinning him around to face me.
He was actually quite handsome, soft brown hair and brown eyes. Not that I was interested in him. I had Dimitri. His blood smelt so delicious under his skin. But he was a person with thoughts and feelings. . I shook it off, letting my Strigoi self take over. I was a predator and he was my prey, Nothing more. I brought my mouth towards his neck and bit down hard, letting his blood flow through me. It tasted amazing, better than anything I'd ever tasted before, better than chocolate! I drank and drank, never wanting to stop. I wondered how Moroi had the strength to stop drinking, this was incredible! The boy was moaning and I was moaning along with him. As the colour from his face began to fade I realized what I was doing and pulled my mouth away, disgusted.
The boy was lying at my feet, as good as dead, but not quite. I just couldn't bring myself to take the life away from him.
I began to walk over to Dimitri when something else took over and I felt my soul (Wait! I was a Strigoi. Did I even have a soul?) leave my body. The next thing I knew I was looking through Lissa's eyes.
"This can't be happening!" I cried, "This was meant to stop." No one could hear my cries.
"Avery," Lissa said, "Christian hates me! I can't believe I did that at the party! Now Aaron's got mixed signals and Christian…" She didn't want to continue.
"Liss…" Avery wrapped her arm around Lissa's shoulders. "It wasn't your fault. These things happen," she said in a soothing voice. Suddenly her tone changed from soothing to demanding, "Forget Christian, He's got Jailbait. Stick with me. Meet me at the front gates of the school at 8 tonight. Tell nobody."
Lissa just stared at her, "Are you trying to compel me?" Lissa asked with a giggle. Avery stared at her, "Touch your toes," she demanded. Lissa (and I included) just stared at her.
"Seriously, I know compulsion when I see it and what you're doing is a very poor attempt at compulsion," she giggled.
Avery shrugged and laughed along with Lissa, "Worth a shot, Hey? Come on, let's go find Adrian," she smiled, linking her arm with Lissa's and walking out of our, no, Lissa's, room.
I shot back to reality and found myself on my knees with the crumpled boy in front of me. His heart was still beating but I didn't want to finish the job.
I had learnt something very important. I wasn't a full Strigoi, because as long as Lissa lived, there would still be a part of my soul that belonged to her.
I have changed this chapter slightly from when it was first posted. I hope it's okay. :D
