Okay!
Here's the fourth part of Dimitri's dream.
Like everything else, I own nothing.
I'm thinking that I'm going to make only one or two more chapters of this, so enjoy.

Restless Nights
Another restless night thinking of the girl I couldn't have.
I rolled over in bed as a knock sounded on my door. Getting out of bed, I threw a shirt on over my bare chest.
I opened the door and stared in shock at who was on the other side.
"Can I come in?" Rose asked. Her eyes were big and pleading. How could I refuse?
I raised an eyebrow and moved out of the door to let her pass. She walked in and immediately went to sit in a chair on the opposite side of the room from the bed. That was interesting.
"Is something wrong?" I asked. Obviously nothnig with Lissa. Must be some normal thing. But what normal thing could it be?
She avoided my eyes and looked down, mumbling something about a bad dream. I wondered if the bad dream had been Adrian Ivashkov stalking her, too.
"Right," I said.
I would not smile at the fact she was bothered by a dream.
This girl could whip any one of the other novices' butts, butshe was
obviously scared of a dream.
"Sorry I woke you up. You can go
back to sleep. I just didn't want to be in that room alone. And
since I couldn't go to Lissa…"
I didn't tell her I wasn't asleep. I sat down on the bed, glad she didn't try to sneak out. "Do you want to talk about it?"
She shook her head. I let out a sigh and lay back on the bed. She sat in the chair, curled into a ball, her mind obviously still thinking about whatever her dream had been about. had it really bothered her that much?
"Rose." She looked up and I patted the bed next to me. To my surprise, she shook her head.
"I didn't come up here to try and take advantage of you."
I gave her a small smile. "I know."
She hesitated for a second and came over to the bed. "Well, if you insist. I'm not going to pass up a chance like this."
Ah, there was the Rose I knew.
She lay down next to me. I pulled her to me so that her back was against my chest; my arms encircled her.
"Are you sure you don't want to talk?" I asked, resting my chin on the top of her head. She was so small.
She hesitated. "Well, it was more of a nightmare than a bad dream." A pause. "The school was being attacked by Strigoi." Another pause. "They…they killed Eddie, then Christian, then Lissa. Then they killed you. Everyone else was already dead. And I was left staring at bodies.I couldn't move to do anyhting to help anyone."
I hugged her closer. "It was only a dream," I whispered. Secretly, I was glad she cared that I had 'died' in her dream. She really did care about me.
"I know," she whispered back.
She was silent for a while and then her breathing evened out. I smiled and soon fell asleep, also.
I was in what appeared to be a garden.
"Dhampir," a familiar voice said from behind me.
I groaned. "Not again. What do you want now?"
He chuckled. "Do you know where Rose is? She wouldn't tell me..."
Of course I denied it. "No."
He could tell I was lying. "Yes, you do. She's asleep in your arms." Pain flashed across his face, but it was soon replaced by his usual smirk.
"If you knew, why'd you ask?" I snapped. God, did he do this to everyone. He should go bother his great aunt and see how she liked it. Or someone should do it to him. But as Lissa didn't know how to yet, payback would have to wait.
"To see what you'd say. Does this mean you've decided to give her what she wants?"
"No. She had a bad dream and came up to my room, with no intentions of having sex."
He laughed. "Ah, Dhampir. Tell me, do you ever plan on having sex with her?"
Now I laughed. "I'll tell you what, Ivashkov. If I ever had sex with her, you won't be the first to know."
"Maybe I'll just go back over to her dreams and try and convince her you're not for her. I'll be glad to give her what she wants."
I gritted my teeth. "Back to this, again? Leave her alone."
He smirked at me again. "You know why I won't? Because you won't do anything. The guardian instincts in you keeps you from hitting me, so all you have are empty threats."
Damn. He had a point. "Maybe. But Rose doesn't have any qualms about hitting you."
With a laugh he disappeared. My eyes opened ad I looked down at Rose.
She sighed in her sleep and turned toward me. She rested her head on my chest and sighed again.
I was pretty sure she wouldn't be so content if she was dreaming of Adrian.
I smiled and pulled her closer.
