Chapter Two

After I got out of the shower felt relaxed and more tired than I thought I would be. While putting away all my things I noticed that Dimitri had already fallen asleep on the chair by the window.

Even though it must've been very uncomfortable he looked very peaceful. After so much time he finally looked even more of his age.

I guess he still trusts me more than I thought. For him to let his guard down it would have been close to impossible. For him to lower his guard around me it was a goal well accomplished just like having the ability to pinned him down.

"Dimitri come on wake up." I said shaking his shoulder. Nothing. I grabbed both of his shoulders and started shaking them gently.

When I saw that it wasn't working I did the second best thing. I went to the bed and got a pillow. I placed it on the night stand and took his shoes off along with his socks . I grabbed the pillow and placed it between his head and the window.

When I was about to head to the bed his hand grabbed my wrist. I turn to look at him. He had that same studious look that he used to have back at the academy. His look was getting intense as if asking for help. That's when I noticed the sweat on his face the guilt the fear the helplessness.

He was having a nightmare. I hugged him I didn't care if later on he acts as if nothing happened. I couldn't take it anymore I hugged him tight to my chest. his response was a little hesitant.

" it's all over you're okay. it's over it's over. it's over." I kept repeating the same thing over and over again.

I pulled back trying to make him follow me to bed. when he stood up I hugged him again. We stood there just holding each other that's when I felt drops of water or better yet tear drops on my shoulders.

A small whimper escaped from his lips. it crushed me to see him to hear him like this. Making me wish to hunt down Nathan and burn him to hell.

I wanted to hunt him down right now, but I knew that's not an option. Even then Dimitri needed me here now and that is exactly what I am going to be his anchor to reality if he would allow me on his own terms.

I don't know how long we stayed like that, but suddenly I felt how he started to pull away. When he looked down at me I saw all of his emotions.

The pain that he was going through the guilt that shame that he carries and above all of that his gratitude. His gratitude towards me.

He didn't have to say anything to know what he was thinking I saw it in HIs eyes. He said either way.

"Thank you for being here" he said in a whisper as if afraid that this moment would fade away. that makes two of us now.

I knew he could see what I intended to say but I had to say it outloud.

"Just like I promised" He gave a half smile that I've come to miss so much.

With that he headed to the door. I knew that he needed to go out. He needed to breath air or go workout. Before he left he turned to me and gave me a nod and I saw a glimpse of my nazar around his neck.

I finally was able to lay down on the bed and get some sleep. So then he left the room not only with my nazar. He also left with my heart and soul.

Before anybody can say anything

yes in the book Nathan (strigoi) was killed by Dimitri, during Blood Promise when Rose was about to jump from the window... oops sorry spoilers , but I need him alive just a little longer then I'll kill him again.

Again I ask for your patience with me I have a busy schedule.
