Chapter 6: Roses POV
I couldn't believe that Adrian's dad had disguised as Dimitri and tried to kill me. I had my doubts about Dimitri because of him. I should have known better. Dimitri would never do anything like this. Where was Dimitri? I hadn't heard anything of him in, oh; I don't know. How long was I out for?
"Where's Dimitri?" I asked Nathan.
He grinned evilly at me but didn't answer. He just started sifting through a cupboard of cloths and after finally choosing one; he walked over to me with the cloth held up in the air as if he was examining its transparency. I inched backwards but I didn't go anywhere. He looked over at me and smiled.
"Not working for you sweetheart?" Pure, pure evil, seductive and just out right gross words dripped out of his mouth like water dripping from a tap. I looked at him with daggers shooting from my eyes.
"Don't you EVER call me 'sweetheart' again you stupid, insolent, disgusting blood sucking monster." I glared at him, and then it came into realisation what I had just said to him. Instantly I regretted what I said, but I didn't let it show.
"Remember Rose, you're part 'blood sucking monster' and also have you forgotten that your best friend is a blood sucking monster, along with most of your other 'friends'." He looked at me in disgust. Like I'd said an absolute insult and he was going to hunt me down and dispose of me.
I must admit, I was a little intimidated, but then I remembered that the Moroi could not fight because they depended on the guardians to protect them. If I could just… yes. I found a way to get out. He left a slit big enough for my arm to fit through and untie the knots. I waited until he left the room, and then I put my escape plan to work.
I carefully moved my arm through the slits in the bindings. I could barely breathe now. I had moved so much that the bindings had tightened into eternity. If I moved much more, I would literally be a human pulp. My hand reached the knots but my fingers didn't have the strength to manoeuvre the knots out of place.
I cried out in pain as the bindings got tighter. I fought on. I wasn't going to give up. Just as I nearly breathed in my last breath, the door slammed open. I expected it to be Nathan coming in to make sure I wasn't trying to get out. But the sight before me nearly made me die. I was so happy to see this face and I would have given up my life for it.
"Lissa." I breathed. I passed out cold.
