Chapter 6

Hey! I know it was rude of me to end the last chapter like that so I made sure to write the next chapter fast and guess what? Here it is! :) I hope you'll like it. Thank you for all your reviews-they make me really happy! ;)

As always, I'm sorry for any grammar mistakes.

I don't own anything Richelle Mead does.

That's it, I thought.

I won't have a chance to get back and to see Lissa, Andre, their parents…

Suddenly a thought rushed through my mind.

I will have the chance to see my mother again.

But, was I ready for that?

I felt a sudden need to live. To fall in love again, to party, to dance like before. I just wanted to be happy. Am I asking too much? And I had my answer.

I wasn't ready to dye.

I stopped struggling.

,,That's a good girl.'' I heard my captor saying.

I'll have to wait and then find a sollution how to escape from this mess.

,,Leave her alone.''

Or not.

When I heard that cold Russian accented voice I recognized it right away. I don't know why but at that moment…I felt safe.

Moment after that I felt surprised. What is he doing here?

I saw him approaching. He was wearing a duster. Like the one from a western. He had a furious look on his face. I've never seen him that mad. I mean, I know him only a week but I don't think I'll see worse expression.

,,Stop walking or she's dead.'' I felt the blade of the knife press more in my neck.

,,Dimitri…please…go.'' I suceed to say.

,,Dimitri? Who is this? Your boyfriend, huh? Oh, I'm jelous, I was hoping such a beautiful girl like you would be available.'' he said faking sadness.

,,But she's not. She's taken and you'll just have to leave if you don't want to get hurt.'' Dimitri's voice was threatening. Even I was scared.

Wait, what? I'm taken?

The guy behind me laughed evily.

,,Look, kid.'' he put an emphasis on that word ,,you should've listened to her and walked away but now we'll just have to get rid off you.'' he looked at four man (the fifth was lying on the floor, unconscious, thaks to me) and noded his head towards Dimitri.

And he was calm, he just winked at me. They wanted to restrain him but suddenly he was moving: he kicked the first one in the stomach and he fell to the ground. The remained three surrounded him. He was fighting with more strength than against me the other day. He was beautiful when he fought. Like a god. He didn't have any problems with those guys.

,,Shit.'' I heard the guy holding me muttering.

I realized he was watching the fight in front of him and he obviously totally forgot about me 'cause now I had some space to act.

I elbowed him in the stomach. He put his hands on his stomach and fell to his knees. The knife slipped from his hands. ,,Sorry but I was never a good girl.'' I tip toed and kicked him in his face. He remained unconscious on the ground.

I turned around. I saw that Dimitri knocked down three men. The last one and Dimitri were circling around each other. I saw that the guy had a knife in his hands. This was dangerous: he could easily stab Dimitri. I saw Dimitri eying the knife carefully. The guy started walking towards him with the knife in the air.

I tried to go around him to get to Dimitri but then I stood on something firm. I looked down and realized it's a knife from before. I picked it up.

The guy was still going to Dimitri.

I have to do something.

I held the knife and started walking towards toward this unknown guy. He was with his back to me. I raised the knife and hesitated. Dimitri saw what I was doing.

,,Roza, no…'' he whispered.

The guy realized I was behind him and he turned around. He had a fanatic gloss in his eyes. Like he was crazy. Instead of Dimitri he wanted to stab me but I was faster.

I sticked the knife through where his heart should be.

I let go of the knife. I could not believe.

I just killed a man. I'm a murderer.

The man fell to the ground knife peeking through his shirt. There was a big crimson stain forming on his chest.

I felt someone beside me, hugging me firmly.

,,Shhh, Roza…it's okay, I'm here.'' Oh, it's Dimitri.

I looked at the body. I was even too shocked to start crying. Dimitri put his hands on the small of my back and I pushed my head in his chest.

There were only four words going through my mind repeating themselves.

I am a murderer. I am a murderer. I am a murderer.

I didn't realized I was repeating them out loud until Dimitri spoke.

,,Shh, it's not your fault Roza. You had to do it. It was self defense. You had to do it.'' he kept repeating.

Anger boiled inside me. I started pushing myself away from his embrace. ,,Do you think it matters? Do you think it's important to me was it on purpose or accidentally? I't doesn't you know 'cause I just killed a man.'' I know it wasn't his fault but I just needed to spill my anger on someone. I stared kicking him with my hands. He tried to hug me again but I couldn't stop punching him in his chest.

,,I know Roza, throw it out of yourself. I know it's hard.''

,,How do you know? You have never killed anyone.''

He laughed an unhappy laugh. ,,If only you know.''

I looked at him. ,,What do you mean?'' I asked confused not carring if he will answer me or not.

,,Nothing, forget I said anything.''

At once I heard something ringing. Soon I realized it was my phone. I didn't move. I didn't want to answer it.

Dimitri wanted obviously. He looked for him a little bit and then found him in a pocket of my jeans. He took it and looked at the screen.

,,It's Andre.'' he said.

I recalled that I said I would be back soon and that I was missing rather long. They must be worried. I really didn't care right in the moment.

Still hugging me Dimitri answered.

I heard someone talking quickly. I recognized Andre's voice.

,,Hey Andre. Don't worry she's with me.'' Dimitri calmed him. ,,No I found her by coincidence. We had an…accident here.'' He had an interesting choice of words. ,,I'll bring her home.''

I looked at him. ,,No please, I don't want Lissa to see me like that. I don't want to go there now.'' He was looking at me thinking. ,,Please.'' I was pleading him with my eyes.

I don't know what he found there but soon he accepted. ,,Hey Andre, I'll take her to my house tonight. She'll be perfectly safe there. Yes, I'll watch an eye on her. Don't worry, I got everything under control. Bye. See, you tomorrow.'' He hung up.

He returned me my phone and pulled his own out of his pocket. He dialed a number and pressed the call button. ,,Who are you calling?'' I asked panicked. He wasn't calling the police, was he?

He obviously saw my panic 'cause he said: ,,Don't worry I'm not calling the police. I'm calling someone who will clean up this mess.'' he looked at the dead man behind me on the ground. I tried to turn around but he didn't let me. ,,Don't look at that.'' he knew my reaction if I see it wouldn't be good.

How did he knew I thought he was calling the police? I hope I'm not that obvious.

Someone said something from the other side of the line. ,,Hey Sid, it's Dimitri. No I'm fine I just need some help. I need you to come here and clean some mess.'' he said to whoever Sid was. I didn't actually care.

,,Can you? Okay, it's…'' he explained how to find that alley. ,,Okay, thanks, bye.'' He finished the conversation.

He looked at me again. ,,Rose, are you okay?''his voice was worried. Why would he care? He could've already ran away if he wanted to.

,,Why are you still here?'' I asked him totally numb.

The look he gave me was confused. ,,Do you want me to go?''

,,No you helped me, but…never mind.'' I didn't have enough strength to explain him properly. ,,What are we going to do now?''

,,I'll hide the…body and then I'll take you to my house. Don't worry they will clear this mess.'' he reassured me.

,,Who?'' I was scared I will go to jail. I deserved it I killed a man. My thoughts were obviously written all on my face 'cause he took my face in his hands and said: ,,Don't worry Rose, you're not going to jail. No one will ever hurt you. I'm here, I'll take care of everything.'' And somehow I trusted him.

I was so scared that I didn't realize I was shaking. ,,Rose, you're cold. Here take this.'' He took his coat off and gave it to me. He was now wearing only a tight T-shirt. I put my hands in too big sleeves. It smelled like him. Like he was still hugging me.

Dimitri walked to the body and hid it somewhere. I don't know where because I closed my eyes while he was doing it: I didn't want to look that horrible scene again.

I suddenly felt him pulling me by my hand. ,,Come on, we need to go before someone see's us.'' I looked around me. He hid all of them.

,,Why did you hide all of them. When they wake up…''

,,They won't wake up anymore, Roza.'' he cut me off.

,,I-I-I thought you just knocked them unconscious?'' he shook his head.

This was the worst night of my life. We were both murderers.

…

I had no idea where his house was but after a couple of minutes walking we arrived to a house with wrought fence. When I saw the house I just couldn't believe.

,,Welcome to my house, Roza.''
