Chapter 6
"Where are we?" Adrian asked.
"I have no idea, lets go this way." we walked for a little bit longer.
"Do you hear that?" he asked.
"Yeah… what is it flowing water?"
"Sounds more like a waterfall."
"Yeah it does."
"Wanna go check it out?" he said excitedly
"Whatever but we have to get back before school finishes so I can go to my training lesson with Alberta."
"Ok." he said and through the bond I felt disappointment. We followed the sound of the water and both came to a halt when we saw it. It was the most beautiful sparkling, blue water and surrounded by lush, green grass. It was in the middle of nowhere and was surrounded by thick woods, we were obviously the first ones to find it. A flock of birds I think were Raven flew over our heads, that was weird Raven don't travel in flocks. One landed on Adrian's shoulder, he was about to knock it off.
"Adrian don't, I know this bird." he laughed at me. "What I do?" this raven had a look to familiar, it looked to intelligent for a bird. I reached my hand out for it to hop on. It looked at me like I was crazy, another thing that bird did. But it hoped onto my hand anyway and walked up to my shoulder.
"Huh." I puffed.
"You can say that again, animals don't like dhampirs."
"I know but Lissa healed this one and its bonded to her she just doesn't know it."
"But still its an animal."
"Yeah the last time I put my hand near it, it flew away."
"Cool." the bird squawked a couple of times like it was saying something and flew away. I looked at the water again and had an idea.
"Want to go for a swim?"
"Sure, hmm a moonlit stroll and a moonlit swim where are you taking this." he said jokingly.
"Your taking it the wrong way."
"I'll take it how I want it."
"I know you will." Adrian took of his shirt, I turned to him and said:
"Race ya." before he could answer me back I bolted towards the water. When I reached it I stoped before I put my foot in it wasn't as cold as I thought it would be so I walked in with Adrian just behind me. I did a sort of dive that would let me slide across the water without going to deep so that I didn't hit my head on any rocks or branches lurking underneath. In the sun you could probably see right to the bottom.
"Rose where are you?"
"Look for my aura."
"Okay." I heard a splash behind me but I didn't turn around I just waited silently for him to come up for a breath. He came up a few inches in front of me and took a breath, I looked into his shiny eyes and I felt the butterflies wake up. He put his hands on my hips and moved even closer to me. He was so close and I yearned for his lips to touch mine.
"I love you Rose." he whispered. I was sure at this moment that I loved him to still not as much as I did and still do Dimitri but I knew it was enough to tell him I did.
"I love you too." then he kissed me passionately then stoped.
"I've waited so long to hear you say that." I reached around his neck and pulled him back to me. We kissed for a while after that and I pulled back and smiled my man-eating smile, he smiled back.
"I still want my date." his smile didn't change.
"How did I know you were going to say that?" we both laughed.
"What did my aura look like?"
"The same swirl of colours, not much darkness fringing and it was almost blinding."
"Are you serious?"
"Yep, I'm thinking you were right about how being bonded to two people is better."
"Maybe you just heal me without knowing it, you've always had this thing about you. Sometimes I just cant stay away from you and others I just want to stay around you even if you just pissed me off."
"Yeah that's weird but I don't mind."
"Yep I know."
"I don't see why we even talk I feel like you already know me like that back of you hand."
"Hey good idea."
"What is?"
"Don't talk say something through the bond." I could feel him concentrating.
"Boo I scared you haha." he said through the bond. "Did it work?"
"You're such an idiot, hey let me try."
"Did you know smiles are contagious?" I tried to say. "Did it work?" he smiled at me and I smiled back.
"You were right, they are contagious."
"Yay it worked, ha ha ha."
"maybe we should talk like this all the time it would really piss some people off."
"Oh like who?"
"Lissa, has she been able to do it to you?"
"No we haven't tried it."
"Try now." I nodded and focused on Lissa.
"Lissa, Lissa Can you hear me, what class are you in?"
"Rose!"
"Yeah its me what class are you in?"
"Calculus why?"
"Just wondering, oh and what time is it?"
"Where are you?"
"I went for a walk with Adrian outside the wards."
"Oh my god Rose, what were you thinking?"
"Jeeze Liss its just a walk and I have my stake."
"Sorry, just worries is all."
"I know but can you still tell me the time?"
"Yeah it's one thirty on the dot."
"Okay thanks."
"No probs, cya." I focused my eyes back on Adrian and smiled.
"It worked."
"I know, hey did you ever think that when we were kissing we could talk through the bond and keep kissing?"
"No I didn't."
"Want to try?"
"Maybe later, we have to get back, it's one thirty school finishes at three." so we got out and headed towards the school or the way we thought the school was.
