Thank you for reviewing! You guys rock! I think this will be my last chap for the night- ill post more after school tomorrow ok? J
Chapter Six
As she left my little bravado mask went as well. I would have fallen again if Dimitri wasn't holding my waist. I still had a huge headache thanks to miss Karp- she was more pleasant when she was crazy.
I turned to the others- they looked so concerned.
"We have to get out of here. The suns coming up, so the Strigoi will be leaving or dead. The guardians will have figured out I've escaped." I said, trying to sound strong. By the looks they were giving me I'm guessing I'm not all that convincing.
My headache was getting worse. The ghosts I realised. The wards are down- so they're able to come through. I had been blocking them without much thought. Now the side effects were showing.
"Rose are you alright?" Dimitri asked me, concerned.
I gritted my teeth. "Yeah I'm fine."
Just to prove it, I walked out of his arms and took a few shaky steps forward.
And then I blacked out. Smooth Rose. Real smooth.
I woke up to find I was in a car, Christian driving. My head was in Dimitri's lap. He must've carried me here I grasped. Damn- why is it that every time Dimitri carries me in his arms is when I'm unconscious? I slowly sat up. My headache was still there, but it was faint.
"Careful. Are you ok?" he asked.
"I'm fine." I said automatically.
"Rose the last time you said that you fainted." He told me.
Well that's pretty embarrassing.
"She's ok," Lissa answered for me. "I can tell through the bond."
That caused some confusion.
"What do you mean 'through the bond'? It only goes one way."
"Rose... remember when I healed Dimitri, the bond sort of faded?"
I remembered. "Yeah... It's kinda like it disappeared."
She nodded. "Well over time it's been getting stronger. And I can sort of feel your emotions now. I can't go into your head or read your mind or anything like that... but It's like this faint buzz of what you're feeling..." she tried explaining.
Yeah I got- it was like I had when she first healed me.
"I know the feeling," I smiled at her. "Now if you don't mind me asking... where exactly are we going?"
"Airport. We're catching a flight to Las Vegas in an hour," Christian replied. "Gambling and beer here we come!" Liss hit him on the shoulder.
"We're not going to bars or Casino's." She told him.
"Um, well actually Liss we kind of are- the guy I met was the manager of some random Moroi casino."
I told her.
"oh." She said, slightly embarrassed.
Then I remembered it- "Miss Karp! She can use magic!"
"no shit? We kinda got the memo when you were lying on the ground screaming in pain." Said (you guessed it) Christian sarcastically.
"I mean that she's a Strigoi. She shouldn't be able to."
"Spirit! Somehow she was able to keep her powers after she'd turned," Liss said. "but what about the darkness?"
Then it clicked. "What if... if she's a Strigoi then she is darkness. What if when she turned, she could control it? She would be able to keep her powers, but she'd be evil anyway so she can't really get worse."
It made sense. There were so few spirit users in the world that no one would have known.
Dimitri's eyes widened. "If that is true, then we have a huge problem. She wants to kill you Rose." Yeah, I figured as much.
Ok lets recap- I have a crazy spirit using Strigoi after me, I just broke out of my cell- like I need anything else to make me look more suspicious, and I'm trialing for my life in three weeks time. Is a normal life really too much to ask for?
