Most people think I'm evil right now because I let Emily's mother die, well you're about to hate me a whole hell of a lot more! lol but don't worry it gets better. Now READ damnit!
Left Behind
Emily was sleeping in bed when her father came. He shook her and shook her violently until she woke up. She screamed when she saw him and tried to push him away but he was too strong. He pinned her down to the bed and slowly peeled away her covers with a sickening grin plastered on his face. Emily had a look of horror, like she knew what was going to happen. He pulled down Emily's pajama bottoms down and then his slacks. Emily screamed but went unheard, her screams muffled by the sour taste of her fathers mouth pressed on hers. He entered her body, rhythmically entering then exiting. His pleasure equaled her pain. And I, Rosemarie Hathaway, could do nothing.
I woke up in a cold sweat, my voice hoarse from screaming. Ever since Emily uttered those two words I haven't been able to go a minute without dreaming about her or thinking about her and whether I should tell Dimitri of my worries. I ripped off my covers and walked to the bathroom down the hall. I splashed cold water on my face and looked into the mirror. I looked horrible. There were dark bags under my eyes from a lack of sleep, my skin looked a sickly yellow and I had lost a significant amount of weight. I had to put on makeup to hide what I really looked like, and this all occurred in two days. I realized that I would be late for practice with Dimitri and ran to get ready.
As I walked into the gym Dimitri looked up from his western novel and horror flashed across his face, had I done something wrong?
"Roza what happened to you?" Dimitri said barely touching the skin under my eyes, like I could break if he said the wrong thing.
"What are you talking about comrade? I'm completely fine!" I lied.
"Your are most certainly not fine! You look like you haven't slept in years, what's going on? I want the truth Roza, no more lies, no more secrets." I realized in my hast to get to practice I had forgotten to put on makeup. I suddenly wanted to fall in Dimitri's arms and tell him everything, my dreams, fears and the last two words Emily mouthed to me and I did. I sagged against his chest and cried. The words flowed out of my mouth and I couldn't stop. When I had finally stopped crying Dimitri spoke for the first time.
"Roza I think you're being oversensitive." Dimitri said chuckling. I looked at him with disbelief.
"Oversensitive? Oversensitive! The only thing that's going to be oversensitive is how sore your body is when I finish pummeling you to the ground!" I lunged at Dimitri with my full strength and body weight and caught him off guard. We tumbled to the ground and wrestled. I kicked and scratched without thinking, without looking. Several pairs of hands pulled me away from Dimitri and pinned me to the ground. The tears finally cleared away and I saw Lissa, Kirova, my mom, Stan and Alberta standing over me, Dimitri was moaning on the ground.
"Rose what the hell are you doing? You almost killed Belikov!" My mother said. She was clearly outraged. I didn't know what to say. I felt guilty about what I had done to Dimitri but I wasn't really sure why I had done it. When Dimitri finally managed to get up, with Stan's help, he looked me in the eye. I could see the hurt; the hurt that I had physically and emotionally hurt him that I had betrayed him and it killed me inside. I was escorted to my dorm with two guardians' positioned at my door for the safety of the academy. I sat on my bed for hours and cried until there were no more tears left. I tried to concentrate on homework but I couldn't. All of the sudden I was seeing Emily's father, Mike. He was shaking me and choking me, I tried to reach out to him to tell him it was me. I reached out my hand and it was shorter than normal and my thoughts were unusual.
'Daddy please stop, I didn't do anything wrong this time daddy. PLEASE!' I thought. But then I realized these weren't my thoughts they were Emily's. I knew this had to be a dream and all I had to do was wake up but I couldn't. I was in Emily's body, hearing her thoughts, feeling what she felt at this exact moment and she was in trouble. All of the concern I had had in the past two days flooded back to me. I had to do something, I had to find Dimitri. But he wouldn't help me, that is unless I apologize and convince him that I had no control over what I had done because I really didn't. I couldn't go through my door because it was guarded and they wouldn't bring me to Dimitri's room because I was "still dangerous", but I could go through the window. I opened the window and looked down and I remembered that I was three stories above the ground for a reason. I back up from the window only to run towards it and take a running leap out into the cool night air.
You guys are probably like "OMG did Rose almost kill Dimitri?" Well yes she did and yes that means that Dimitri hates her for the time being. And next you guys are probably thinking 'Is Rose in Emily's mind just like she can with Lissa?' Well my answer to that is yes, yes she most certainly is!!! DUN DUN DUN . . . and please please don't hate me. Things will be okay in the next chapter I promise! I just felt like being evil to Rose!
