Chapter 4
The doctor's words echoed in my ears; we have to kill it, we have to kill it.
Anger swept over me. How can it not be my choice? How can it not be my choice how I live my life? How dare they make my decisions for me?
My thoughts were interrupted by a soft knock on the door. Lissa stood there looking at me strangely.
'Are you okay?' she asked as she walked over to the bed.
'Why wouldn't I be okay?' I snapped.
'Well…for one thing, you have that 'I'm going to punch someone in the face' look on your face' I quickly composed my face 'What's got you so keyed up?'
I took a deep breath and looked at the wall behind her. 'They said they are going to kill my baby'
She looked confused 'But didn't you want an abortion in the first place'
'Yeah, that was before. And it's the principle of the matter, it was going to be my decision, but now they are making all of my decisions for me! It's not fair' I argued.
'Okay okay, I understand' she said. After about a minute of silence, I was the first to speak.
'I'm getting out of here' I muttered.
She looked up 'Hmm?'
'I said, I'm getting out of here. And you have to help me' I said strongly.
'What? How are you going to do that? How am I going to help?' she asked.
'I don't know yet…but I'll think of something. All I know is that I can't stay here' I insisted.
'And what makes you think I'm just going to help you. I mean you left me, and now you want my help to get you out of here again, away from me?' she said, putting her hands on her hips.
I was shocked that she was arguing with me 'What about all the times I've been there for you? I left you once, yes, but if I don't get out of here now I won't have any power. They will kill my baby, Liss, don't you understand? They will kill my little Dimitri…' I trailed off.
'So this is what this is all about? Dimitri?'
'This baby is all I have left of him' I said with tears starting to well up in my eyes.
She finally gave in with a sigh 'Fine. But how will I help?'
'Compulsion obviously?'
'What? You want me to use that just to get you out of here?'
'Please just help me get out' I pleaded.
She groaned and eventually agreed. Now all I had to do was to figure out the plan.
***Some time later***
Everything was planned. Lissa had convinced Christian to help and Adrian was always very willing to help the little Damphir.
The plan was that Christian and Adrian would create a distraction and then Lissa would help me out of the grounds. When I asked her to come with me she refused. She said she couldn't leave Christian.
It was a very simple plan but quite difficult to pull off. I was breathing heavily thinking about all the possible things that could go wrong. Caught by a guardian, not be let through the gates, and countless other things.
As Lissa slipped through the door I stood up from my bed. I grunted as the stabbing pain in my stomach began again, it was starting to fade so it was easier to ignore.
'You ready?' Lissa asked, an excited glint in her eye.
'Ready. Let's go' I said eagerly.
'We just have to wait for the distraction'
I shifted my weight from one foot the other in anticipation. Suddenly we heard people nearby shouting 'Fire! Fire!'
'Let's go' said Lissa.
She opened the door a crack and looked out before slipping out with me by her heals. A blanket of smoke smothered almost every thing in sight. We slid along the wall and out of the clinic, without anyone noticing. Then we took off running. I was much faster than Lissa because of Dimitri's training, so I had to drag her along sometimes. Once we ran through the halls of the Academy, we had already accumulated a group of people calling after us. Even thought the throbbing pain in my stomach was growing, I didn't slow. I could rest once I was out of here.
We ran out the doors into the fresh air. Adrenaline rushed through me, we were so close. The Guardians on duty saw us coming and took a protective stance.
'Let us through' said Lissa, using her compulsion.
The guardian's eyes glazed over and he stood aside.
'This is where I leave you' she said, turning to face me.
'Thank you for everything' I said, pulling her into an embrace. We heard shouts coming from the main building.
'Go, Rose.' She said pushing me away and running back towards the school. I didn't need any more encouragement. I took off running, out of the gates of the Academy which I hated so much.
The pain from my stomach was now affecting my breathing and I was gasping for air. But I knew if I stopped, they would catch me, so I pushed forward. Eventually I found the place I had been searching for; the cabin.
I let out a sigh when I saw it. This place held so many memories and was like a home to me. As I broke through the door, I took in the familiar surroundings. Almost nothing had changed since the last time I had been here.
When my eyes passed over the bed, I ran over to it and flopped down on it. I was so exhausted and every muscle in my body was aching.
Reality hit me like cold water on my face. I had done it, I had escaped, I had saved my baby, I had saved Dimitri's baby. Freedom…it felt very good. After sometime of lying there, I fell asleep.
I woke up some time later, feeling very groggy. Sun streamed through the window and onto the floor. What had woken me up? I wondered. Suddenly I realized I wasn't alone.
'Roza?' said a heavily Russian-accented voice, coming from the corner of the room.
I didn't have to look at the person to know who it was.
Dimitri Belikov.
