Merry Christmas!!! Please review, I love hearing criticism if it matters!!! Dish it all out on me, but I like complements too!

THE CHARM!

"Dimitri, give me your jacket." I told him. He gladly stripped it off and asked, "Don't you want more off." His voice still had that throaty quality. "Dimitri, has Tasha given you anything, anything at all?" "Yes." He answered simply. "Where is it?!" I asked, making sure that I didn't touch his bare skin. This was probably another lust charm, so I would feel its effect if I made contact with the charmed. He dropped a little gold ring with a glowing diamond. "I was going to give it to you anyway." He said, shrugging.

The second it left his skin, he jerked. "Oh God, what happened?" He asked, blinking furiously, trying to focus his eyes correctly. I neatly caught the charm in a glove and threw it out the window, just like Dimitri had the night of the spell. "Go sit down, its alright, you didn't hurt anyone." I told him. Lissa and Christian were sitting in the love

seat, staring wildly at Dimitri. "Did you have a headache after I took the necklace from you?" He asked, lacing his hand in his hair and putting his head down. "Yeah, and it will take you a while to remember everything that happened. It'll wear off." I got him a glass

of water and an aspirin. "It's okay, you didn't hurt me, and everything will be fine." I assured him, patting his leg. Dimitri looked up at me with wild eyes. "Don't you see? We will hurt people. We're too dangerous to live, Rose. I'll take care of you, don't worry about that. I will follow soon after." Oh God, Tasha put an attacking charm in him, too.

To kill me. Dimitri grabbed me and pushed me to the floor, pinning me. I couldn't believe what Tasha did to him. It was obvious that the attacking spell would only work if the lust charm didn't expose us. Oh, shit. My training kicked in then. I jammed my knee in his crotch making him double over.

Focus, rose, this is just another training session. I pinned Dimitri down but it didn't last long. He quickly rolled us over and restrained my legs, learning from last time. I struggled uselessly against his arms, and then remembered the night in the cabin. I was going to kill Dimitri, then, and now he was trying to kill me. In the end, love conquers all, if only I could get him to look at me directly in the eyes for longer than five seconds.

"Dimitri please look at me." I begged, over and over again. Then I remembered Lissa and Christian cowering in the corner. "Hey, Fire Crotch, time to turn up the heat!" 'I called over Dimitri's shoulder, winking. Christian seemed to get the message because Dimitri burst into flames.

He yowled in pain, screaming. I was glad Lissa had a soundproof room. "Don't roast him alive, Pyro, not even a burn." I warned. Christian took that as a sign to release the magic. Dimitri collapsed on the floor, and there was, of course, not a single burn or singe on his perfect body.

Liss, can you find where the charm is, before he wakes up?" 'I asked. Lissa nodded and bent over his body. I walked over to Christian and said something I had never expected my self to say. "Thanks a lot, Christian." He just stared at me in shock until Lissa announced, "Found it!"

She handed me a thin silver bracelet with little jewels embedded all around it. On the back, it read R.D. Oh. My. God. That was sooo sweet. Tasha just had to ruin my romantic, beautiful bracelet that declare our profound love for each other by cursing it with a spell that would make Dimitri try to kill me, then himself.

I flung the bracelet out the window as well, and the second it left the room, Dimitri's eyes fluttered open. I knelt next to him, lacing our fingers together. "Are you okay?" I asked him, quietly. "Yeah, just a little headache." He said, putting the pointer finger and thumb of the hand that was not entwined with mine on his temples.

Suddenly, he jumped up. He looked at me with anguished eyes. "What did I do?" I rubbed my hands together, "Nothing really…" His eyebrows pulled together, "Rose why did I want to kill you?" Great, now my most likely true theories. "Tasha charmed a ring into a lust spell, and you started talking dirty to me. I figured out it was a lust spell and threw the ring that was charmed with it out the window."

Dimitri looked grief stricken when I told him that. "What's wrong?" I asked, pausing in my story. "Nothing, the ring was just special. Significant." Hmm, I'd have to ask him what kind of significance it held to him, later. I just continued with my story.

"Then an attack charm kicked in and you went berserk on me. ~Christian set you on fire and you passed out. Lissa found the bracelet it was charmed on and it followed the ring, out the window." I took a step closer to him. "I liked the bracelet. It was beautiful." He smile softly at me. "Will you ever forgive me?"

I laughed, amused at the fact that he even had to ask. "Of course you are, silly." Dimitri pulled me up into a love drunk kiss. It was so passionate that Lissa and Christian left to her room to continue on their own escapades. My arms locked behind Dimitri's neck, and he brought my legs up to his hips, wrapping around them to help with our height difference. "It wasn't supposed to go this way!" Someone screeched from the doorway. Tasha, naturally. "You're supposed to be dead. Oh well, I guess I'll have to do the deed myself!" The last thing I saw was a hate driven Tasha and fire. I felt the burns, then nothing but numbness. I fell into the awaiting blanket of darkness that happily wrapped around me, engulfing me in black
