Previously on a dream or a nightmare:
I nodded my head and when they told me that the lights were off I opened my eyes and saw many people standing over me but the only one I recognised was the tall gorgeous man from the other night and since he was the only man in the room I also knew he was the soft Russian voice who comforted me when I was in pain.
He smiled sadly at me almost like he knew what I was going through and I was oddly comforted by it. He introduced himself to me, "My name is Dimitri Belikov. I am going to help you with everything. You can ask me any questions and at any time, I know how confused you are right now so you don't have to ask me anything right now."
I nodded again, I couldn't find my words. It was about the first time in my life when I was at a loss for words and you know what I didn't like it any little bit. The only thoughts that ran through my head was, I'm alive and a Dhampir and no longer a strigoi.
Present…
I was sitting in the bathroom stall, freaking out. I had no clue how to explain this or how to rectify this. Who was I going to talk to, sure Dimitri had been extremely helpful but this wasn't something that I could waltz up to him and talk to him about it. I could see that whole conversation right now.
"Hey Dimitri, so you know I have been dead for the past thousand years and well now I'm alive and well alive woman have certain needs like once a month." Yea right I could see his face already, he would be so embarrassed but he would get it done, I still wouldn't go to him. I was going to go to the clinic quickly before my next class.
Calmly strolling through the halls I made my way to the infirmary and went into see the doctor. Thirty minutes later I walked out my face still bright red but everything was sorted out. I was late for my next class but the good doctor gave me a note to get me out of a detention from being late.
Walking into the room, Stan's class, walking up to him handing him the letter and waiting there to see what he said. He sighed and told me to take a seat, turning around I saw Dimitri standing in the back. I smiled at him before taking a seat and focusing on what Stan was saying.
I soon zoned out thinking about what had happened since I had been turned back. It was agreed that I would stay with Dimitri, in case I needed help. We stayed in a small two bedroom flat, with a kitchen and a lounge/dining room combination thing and two bathrooms. I had no idea how to cook since the only thing I ate for a while was blood. It was still awkward for me to eat food but I was getting better. I remember the first time I had to eat food; Dimitri had to force me to eat. The first time I ate was two weeks after I was turned back. Dimitri shoved two minute noodles down my throat and then held my mouth and nose closed until I swallowed.
I hated Dimitri whenever he did it but know I am glad he did it because it was what got me to start eating in the first place. He was the only one who understood what it was like to be a strigoi and the guilt and remorse, not to mention the anger after you are turned back. It was hard because I was seventeen when I was turned, back all those years ago, my parents were still alive and so were all my friends but when they died I didn't feel sad nor did I grieve as I was an undead heartless monster.
I do miss then terribly but there is nothing I can do about it and I have come to accept it. I have made a couple of friends in the month that I have been here, one of them being Lissa the girl who brought me back, and another one was Mason he was another dhampir who was in training to become a guardian.
I technically had enough training to be a guardian but I had to wait for the trials at the end of the year. The bell pulled me from my internal mussing, grabbing my stuff and pulling them into my bag. I knew Dimitri was probably going to have a fit at the state of my bag; he was a huge neat freak.
It was now lunch and I was walking with Dimitri to go to lunch, sat with him at lunch so that I wouldn't make it awkward for Lissa and her friends or Mason and his friends. Plus if I sat with Dimitri I got the staff lunch which was so much nicer than the student lunch. I loved spending time with Dimitri; he didn't make me feel like the freaky strigoi girl who had no clue how to act like a normal person.
I didn't have the same day as everyone else, the first part of the day was the same as the other guardians in training but the second part consisted of a session with a counsellor and then training it Dimitri and Alberta and conditioning. After lunch I was going to see he counsellor, while he spoke to me and asked me if I ever felt the need to kill people or bite them.
I looked down at my food and pushed it away, losing my appetite. Dimitri looked up at me in concern, obviously thinking I had gone off food again.
"I'm not hungry." I said in a quiet voice and he understood that it was something personal and not something to do with the actual food. Dimitri put his hand on top of mine and said, "It will be ok Rose, everything will work out." I wondered when it will all be okay.
So guys I just want to know if you want me to continue this story, it was at first intended to be a one shot but I didn't want to post an A/N and get you guys to read for nothing. So please just leave me a review telling me if I should continue the story.
Thank Ash.
