Wow guys I am terribly sorry for the long wait. I had a lot of trouble with writing this chapter so I apologise if it isn't any good. I'm kind of new to writing so any feedback or constructive criticism is welcome! Thanks Izzi xx
The usual DISCLAIMER applies…sadly L
Chapter 4
Adrian POV
I couldn't believe what I was being told.
Little Dhampir
Was gone?
I ran towards the guardian's housing as fast as I could ignoring the sun beating down on me. Once I reached Rose's door I pounded my fist against it loudly.
"Little Dhampir, are you in there?'' I called. No answer. "Rose, open the door!" I ordered and still I was met with silence. "ROSE! You open this fucking door right now!"
I couldn't sense her aura and realised I was being told the truth. Rose was gone. The guardians had said that she had most likely perished in the storm last night.
Clenching my unruly hair in my hands I slid down Rose's door and crashed onto the ground. How could I have been so stupid? I knew she wasn't coping with all the business with Belikov. Hell she'd practically ruined her life to save their love and he didn't even want to see her. She was taking the refusal hard, and although we were supposed to be in a relationship, I understood. I had always known that Belikov was the only one for her. How could he not see that? I had been unable to reach her in spirit dreams for several nights leading me to believe that she hadn't in fact been sleeping at all and when I had seen her out in public she was thinner and pale like a moroi. She'd looked…
Breakable.
Fragile even. And that was scary. Rose has always been the strongest person I know and now she was gone. What hope did the rest of us have?
My shoulders began to shudder and sobs wrecked through my body. I heard footsteps approaching me. I glance up and am filled with rage when I see Lissa being trailed like a lost puppy dog by Belikov. I jumped to my feet and stalk toward him, and pushing him roughly against the wall. Grabbing him around the throat I punch him once, then again, pulling back to unleash another blow, I froze. He had just been standing there and letting me hit him.
"Adrian!" Lissa's voice caused the anger to rise up in me again. I stepped back making it seem as though I had given up. In my mind I made an image of Rose, and did a play by play of dying over and over again. Tears fell freely from my eyes and using compulsion I forced Belikov to see the images as though they were really happening before him. Little Dhampir screamed in pain, yelled for Dimitri to save her. Belikov ran to where the apparition was, and collapsed onto his knees when his hands slipped through thin air. I made the image of Rose become lifeless and limp before allowing it to fade away leaving me and the supposed Russian god on our hands and knees crying for the love of our life.
I could hear Dimitri murmuring in Russian and using my broken knowledge of the language understood what he was repeating.
"I'm sorry Roza. I failed you. My love never faded. I loved you more than you will ever know. I love you. I'm sorry. I loved you."
He stopped suddenly, a stared at me with the eyes of a mad man.
"We need to find her body and bring her home."
A/N: Again so sorry for the wait and the dodgy chapter!
Please REVIEW anyway and let me know how to improve.
Thanks xx
