Make sure you people are reviewing, otherwise I won't know what you all think. Hehe thanks :D)
I woke up feeling light, tingly and blissful. I breathed in the scent of Adrian and I felt light-headed. I was lying on his chest and he was still sleeping. Our fingers were intertwined and we were both lying relaxed on our blankets. Far out we needed to find a hotel or something, sleeping on the ground was really starting to get to me. It was 2.00pm so we had enough time. I unlocked our fingers and shook Adrian lightly, but it didn't wake him. I squeezed his hand and he still didn't make the slightest bit of movement. He was obviously really tired, so I just left him to sleep. I got up so I could get dressed. I picked out some nice clothes from my bag that I had packed I was lucky I could fit anything in that very small bag. I pulled out my brush, brushed my hair and put on a smear of lip-gloss. We needed to find a hotel because I needed a shower.
Badly.
I found some perfume that I had packed and I sprayed it on myself. It smelled like soft musk. I guess it would have to do. I was feeling really light-headed, and then suddenly I realised that it wasn't from sleeping with Adrian it was from the fact that I hadn't had food in days. I tried not to think about food, but that just led me to thinking about what me and Adrian did a few hours ago, and I REALLY didn't want to think about that. Every time I thought about it, I became all tingly inside. But that was only because I hadn't eaten right..? I mean I wasn't falling for him, not me falling for dream walker, NO WAY of course I wasn't .. Or was I?
Why the hell was I rambling on to myself, we needed to get going. I walked over to Adrian and he was still sleeping in the same position, I kicked him lightly with my foot, and he didn't move at all.
I was starting to get pissed now, was he doing this on purpose. I knelt down and screamed in his ear.
"ADRIAN!!" He still didn't move an inch. What the hell was wrong with him? I knew he wasn't joking because he would have the mocking smile, and that was nowhere to be seen. I checked to see if he was breathing, and he was of course. He just wasn't responding. To anything! I started to panic now, and I jumped on him and slapped him as hard as I could across his face. His eyes fluttered, but other than that he didn't move. I slapped him again, and his hand twitched but once again he didn't move.
"Adrian ...?" I said in a small voice. Why wasn't he responding?
"Rose ..." He said in a pained whisper, he sounded like he had been hit with a cargo train.
"ADRIAN, you scared me! Why didn't you answer?" I instantly felt relieved and jumped off him.
"Rose ... I can't sit up ... I'm so weak ..." Shit. I forgot again, he needed to feed. I hadn't eaten and I definitely wasn't up for it.
"Here, i'll help you get dressed. I went over to his bag and pulled out some random clothes. I helped him put them on. When he was fully dressed, I tried to help him up but he just couldn't move. He was too weak to stand on his own two feet.
"Rose, I know you want to go. Don't worry about me okay? I'll be fine. Just leave me here, and come back for me if you remember.... I know it's him that you want ..." His voice trailed off.
"You have no idea what I want!" I spat at him with the most vicious tone I had. I saw the fear in his eyes.
"I may not know what you want, but I know it's not me" He said, looking extremely weak and vulnerable.
I was angry then. How dare he tell me how I feel and what I want. "How would you know? What does last night prove? That I'm some kind of dirty slut that just slept with you because I was bored?" If he even thought that I would sleep with him just for no reason, he had another thing coming.
"No Rose, I didn't say you were a dirty slut, last night proves that you used me as a fill in for Dimitri. I know you don't love me Rose, you just found comfort in me last night. Deep down you love him." His eyes looked moist, and I really hoped he wasn't going to cry.
"You stupid idiot! I did not, in fact I would not EVER use you as a fill in for Dimitri, and how can you even think that. You are just as self-centred as I thought you were. Maybe I will just leave you here. Get fucked Adrian"
I was so angry at that moment; I don't think I've ever been angrier. He thinks he knows that I want! What an idiot! He had no idea what I wanted. I walked away from him; in fact I ran away from him, I kept running until I couldn't even remember which way I came.
He had some nerve talking to me like that. I kept on raving on to myself until something inside me made me freeze in my tracks. I had a nauseous feeling in me. The feeling of Strigoi.
I turned around and I was face to face with a blonde Strigoi girl about my age, she must have been a Dhamphir before she got 'awakened' because she had the build of one. The red-rimmed eyes gave away that she was a Strigoi.
"Rosemarie Hathaway!" She looked me straight in the eye. I didn't return her gaze, as I didn't want her to use compulsion on me.
I pulled out the stake that I had put in my jacket in the morning, just in case when we left, we would encounter a Strigoi attack. Luckily I put it in. "How do you know me?"
"I believe a Russian guy; he's tall and sort of tanned told me."
Dimitri. This stupid Blondie knew Dimitri. She had a stupid smirk on her face that I wanted to scratch off with the stake but if it was one thing Dimitri had taught me was self control. Not that I had much, she better not press the wrong buttons.
"You know... Dimitri "My voice was shaky and the nauseous feeling was so strong, I felt like I was going to be sick.
"Oh so that's his name. Yes I know him, and no I don't like him, he acts differently to the rest of us, he isn't like us at all."
Wait! What did she just say?! "What do you mean 'not like the rest of us'"? I was curious to find out why.
"He told us to go after you, he said to kill you or he would kill us all. At first we didn't believe him, and he took down two of us to show that he wasn't kidding. He kept mumbling something like 'I don't want Rose to find me like this, kill her or kill me' so we decided to go after you, seeing he could be a great asset to us."
I instantly felt myself go into shock. He remembered me, not only did he remember me, he still cared about me. I thought that he wouldn't even remember who I was. Obviously I was very wrong. "W-why did you listen to him" I said, stuttering, as I still couldn't believe that he cared. What a stupid Strigoi, they were much stronger than he was; he was just a fresh Strigoi.
"Listen Dhamphir, I didn't come here to tell you his life story, but seeing as I'm going to kill you anyway, I suppose I'll tell you. As I said before, he isn't like the rest of us, he doesn't act or think like us. It's like he still has his Dhamphir qualities, it's quite weird actually. He is much stronger than all of us put together, he said if we didn't listen to him, he would kill us all and we couldn't risk being killed, as we still had royals to finish off, and of course I wanted to meet the famous Hathaway."
This Strigoi was part of the group who wanted to kill to royals. This bitch could have gotten Lissa, the last Dragomir. The Dragomir Princess. I wouldn't let her go after anymore royals. She still had an annoying smirk on her face, and at once I lost myself control. I slashed at her face with the stake and she screamed in pain.
"You crazy bitch, no wonder he told us to watch out, that you were dangerous." Did he say that, was he complimenting me while he was a Strigoi?
I didn't have time to think about it she sprang at me and pushed me to the ground. I still held the stake and I slashed her arm with it. She yelped again with pain and that was enough of a distraction to kick her off and grab her. I looked her straight in the eye and said, "Don't mess with me Blondie" and just as I raised the stake to her heart something stopped me.
"You will let go of the stake. Drop it to the floor and let me go" I instantly let go and dropped my stake; she was off in a flash. I shook my head, and snapped out of it. She had used compulsion on me. I knew why. She wanted Adrian, he was a Royal, and they were the kind of Moroi this crazy bitch was after.
I was after her in a flash, she had a good start on me, but with all the running training I had, she was only a few metres in front of me. The running had finally paid off, I was nearly as fast as a Strigoi.
We finally reached Adrian and he was crouched against the tree, he was too weak to even stand. I ran over to him, and stood in front of him protectively.
"Don't touch him" I said in a voice just above a whisper, I turned around to look at Adrian, he was watching me, but his head was resting against the tree. His eyes were filled with fear. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you Adrian, I love you." I meant it.
"What are you going to do, stupid Blood Whore" She spat at me, venom filled her voice, and her red-rimmed eyes glowered at me with hate.
I turned again to look at Adrian and his head was up straight, and if he had the strength it looked like he was going to smack her. Luckily he didn't have the strength, he wouldn't stand a chance. I completely lost my control, and leapt at her and shoved her up against the tree.
"You stupid bitch I am NOT a Blood Whore!" I said in a vicious voice. I moved the stake toward her heart; this stupid girl wasn't going to live much longer. She wasn't putting up much of a fight and I was quite glad.
"You don't scare me Rosemarie, I'm not scared of Blood Whores" She said in a sarcastic tone, and with that she kicked me as hard as she could in the stomach, and I landed on the ground winded. She took me getting winded as an advantage and got up and grabbed Adrian in a headlock.
"You have the stake, kill yourself or ill kill him!" She held him so tightly that his pale face look strained.
"Let him go" I said in an icy whisper.
She looked at me with that stupid smirk on her face and walked toward me, still grasping tightly to Adrian.
"Or what" she said, "Just kill yourself; it will be so much easier that way"
"What if I don't kill myself, what are you going to do, you won't kill Adrian, I won't let you." I was furious.
"Well, I gave you a chance Dhamphir" she sounded like she was being sarcastic, until she screamed at the top of her lungs, "MORZOV COME OUT NOW, KILL THIS DHAMPHIR", she had been hiding another Strigoi out there, in case things got out of hand.
This Strigoi named 'Morzov' came out from behind the trees, his red-rimmed eyes, becoming more and more visible. He grabbed me by the neck and was about to twist it until I kicked him off. I jumped on him and shoved the stake through his heart. He screamed out in pain, and I twisted the stake around, to make sure he was dead. I pulled out the stake, and turned around to find this blonde Strigoi, sucking the life out of Adrian. I Ran over to her and punched her as hard as I could, Adrian fell limp to the floor, and wasn't moving. The Strigoi staggered and when she found her balance she leapt at me. I dodged her and ran toward her with the stake in my hand.
"You stupid bitch!" I screamed out and stabbed the stake through her heart.
"They are coming Rosemarie, watch out..."she mumbled and her head fell.
She was dead.
I wiped my stake in her hair, and put it back in my jacket. I ran over to Adrian and stood over him, a flash of sorrow rushed through me. I looked at his limp body, all the colour had been drained from his cheeks.
It was too late to save him now.
This was the end.
