Chapter Three: Training with a Russian God
His mind raced as he walked down the halls towards the training gym. There were many things Dimitri wanted to ask Rose. As he was replaying the night in his mind, he came up with the question he wanted answered.
The first one was about the marks he found the next day where his shoulder meet his neck. When he woke up the next morning the left side of his neck and shoulder were throbbing in pain. He looked in the mirror and saw two angry red punch holes, the size of normal vampire marks. Suddenly, he had questions but over the last two months or so Rose seemed to avoid him and vice-versa.
Dimitri made it to the gym in time to change into his training clothes. He took a deep breath and waited for Rose to come through the gym's double doors.
She showed up five minutes late per usual, however, Dimitri barely noticed as he reading his new western. She was dressed in her training gear, she placed her things on the bleachers and began stretching. Since she had talked to Lissa about the whole being possible pregnant thing her mood lightened but then she realized she had training with Dimitri in ten minutes.
Just as she was finishing she asked, "Laps?" She turned to Dimitri who had finally put his new book away.
Dimitri nodded, "I will come with you." He said in a calm voice.
Rose raised her eyebrows in surprise, the last few weeks it seemed the Dimitri avoid her anytime he could especial with laps. She made the mistake of asking if he wanted to come along one week after Lissa was kidnapped. It resulted in an entire training session just running laps around St. Vladimir's, alone.
As Dimitri looked up to Rose, she wiped the surprise off her face and nodded. She let him take the lead and trailed after him.
Dimitri ran side by side with Rose the entire time during the twenty laps. They never sped up or slowed down, and during that time Dimitri couldn't bring himself to talk to Rose.
It wasn't until he look next to him did he realized that Rose was on the ground coughing over the brushes. He ran back over to Rose, just as she began vomiting. "I'm taking you to the medical clinic. But after that we need to talk." He said calmly like always.
Once she was finish she wiped her mouth and took a large gulp of water to clean her mouth up. "No." She stated. Rose tried to continue but again she throw up over the brushes.
"You have to go to the clinic." Dimitri said, his voice stern.
Rose continued to shake her head. "This isn't something the clinic can help me with."
Rose for the last few weeks had been splurging on food and on blood. Her thirst for the stuff had increased. Two or three bags of blood lasted her about two weeks normally but lately it been more like three or four days. And this is what happens when the blood runs out. Her body starts to reject even human food until there at least some blood in her system, Lissa and Rose found out this the hard way when they were away from the Academy.
Dimitri took one look at Rose and knew she wasn't going to make it to the clinic in time and that is if she didn't fight him. "Fine." He said in defeat, "If I don't take you to the clinic, then I want to talk to you."
"Now?" She questioned, "You want to talk now. You have avoided me for the last two months or so and now you want to talk."
"Yes." He said. "Do we have a deal?"
Rose looked down at his open hand and considered what he wanted. If she took the deal he might want to talk about that night but then again this might the only time she might get a break from his everlasting demands. "Deal." Rose shook Dimitri's hand.
He led her by the hand across the field quickly and into the wood surrounding the school. After a few minutes he stopped and motion for her to take a seat on an old tree stump while he did the same.
"So, what it is you want to talk to me about?"
"Do you remember that night that Victor took Lissa?"
Rose nodded slowly. "Yes what about it?"
"I know, Rose." He paused looking down at his hands, "I heard you and Lissa in the corridor early about what you said." Rose froze, now it looks like on top of everything she and Lissa would have to find a better talking spot.
"What did you hear?" The conversation she had with Lissa pretty much covered almost everything she and Lissa were hiding for in the last two years. Plus a big new problem.
"You said that you thought that you were pregnant and that I could be the father." Rose wanted to answer him but was struck by fear. "I want to ask you if it was true or not?" Dimitri looks over at Rose, and meets her eyes. "Rose, are you pregnant?"
"I don't know." She said, truthfully. "Over the last few weeks I have been starving out of mind, I'm constantly thirst and my mood seems to be on a roller coaster. I don't know for sure. That's why I wanted to tell Lissa and see if I could prove it." Rose sighed. "I wanted to keep it a secret just in case I was proven wrong. But if I am, the baby is yours."
Dimitri let out the breath he was holding. There was a large chance that he could be a father. But there was something wrong with this picture. "But I'm a Dhampir and so are you, it's not possible for us to conceive a child."
Rose smiled, "That's exactly what Lissa said." Rose began stretching the sore muscles in her arms. "But we have a theory about why I might be able to have children with another Dhampir." She took in a deep breath and said, "We think is because I am shadow-kissed."
