Chapter 7
This morning I woke up so happy but then my morning sickness ruined it. I ran to the bathroom and threw up my guts. Dimitri came in behind me and he held my hair up for me. When it was over I got off the ground and I rinsed out my mouth. "Yuck!" I said for no reason. "I'm sorry baby but it is worth it." I rolled my eyes. "Jackass." I muttered under my breath. He just laughed. I heard my phone going off in the room so I did the teenage girl thing, grabbed it, jumped on my bed and swung my legs in the air. Dimitri plopped down back into bed and closed his eyes. "Hathaway." I answered in utter seriousness. "Rose this is guardian Colinas, Natasha Ozera broke out of prison and she became strogi willingly." He told me. I stiffened. "Has she left court yet?" I asked staying calm. "Yes, she killed 3 morio and 1 guardian." I nodded my head but then I remembered that he couldn't see me. "Alright what would you like me to do?" I asked. "W-well your head guardian so I thought I should tell you." He told me. "I left you in charge Colinas, you need to handle it as best as you can, we are coming back in a week, keep everyone safe." I said to him. "Alright Hathaway, stay safe yourself." I could tell he was smiling on the other end.
I hung up and I put my phone down. I turned my head to see Dimitri starring at me. "Natasha Ozera broke out of prison and she turned willingly." I told him. He looked shocked, and I mean shocked. I got off the bed and I made my way downstairs while pulling my hair into a high ponytail. When I got to the kitchen Chris, Lissa, Victoria and Olena. "Hey guys, guess what? I have some shitty news." I told them. Lissa looked up with curiosity gleaming in her eyes. "Um well, Tasha escaped out of prison and she willingly turned strogi." I told them in one breath. Then I put my hand to my chest, remembering the pain of the bullets as she shot my 3 times in the chest. Even after I healed I still had a permanent mark.
"Oh my god! Did they catch her or did she leave the court?" Lissa asked. I shook my head. "No she left court." I told her. I sat down at the table and I looked at Chris to see how he was doing. He looked...mad. "I'm so sorry Chris. I know she's your aun-." I was cut off by Chris. "She is no aunt of mine!" Chris snapped. I shut my mouth right away, then I felt my phone go off in my pocket and I grabbed it. There was no caller I.D. "Hathaway." I answered. "Hello Rose this Tasha, the girl whose life you ruined." I heard Tasha say. I stiffened. "What do you want?" I snapped at her. I heard her laugh on the other end. "Oh Rose, I want to kill you. But now since I'm strogi I can't get pregnant anymore so I am going to turn Dimitri and we will keep you alive until you have the baby's and then we will kill you and raise mine and Dimitri's children." She told me through the phone. How did she know that I was pregnant? Oh my god she's watching us! "You will never get to my children so fuck off you little bitch!" I yelled at her then I hung up while she was saying something.
I got up and I ran out the door with tears in my eyes. I got into my car and I just drove off. I saw Lissa and Victoria at the door calling my name but I was too upset to care. I continued driving until I left the town and I was just driving in the country. It was getting really hard for me to see from all the tears so I pulled over and I just cried my eyes out. When I calmed down a little I noticed that I ran out of the house in nothing but my pj's and phone. I didn't bring my stake or knife or my lighter. Crap. I pulled over and I slowly locked the car. I pulled out my phone and I saw that I had 15 missed calls and 7 missed messages. None of them were from Tasha thankfully.
I was about to answer one of my missed calls when I heard someone honk from behind me. I looked in my mirror and what I saw scared the shit out of me. It was Tasha, smiling evilly. I stomped hard on the gas and my car stormed forward while my back smashed into my seat and the air whooshed out of me. I slowed down a little bit but I was freaking scared to death. I was screaming even though I was in my car. Then I realized I was going the wrong way. I sharply turned the car and it flipped on me. Just wonderful! The world was swirling around me, everything a huge blir. I closed my eyes as I was flung in every direction, I'm glad I remembered to put on my seat belt. My head smashed into the wheel and glass was flying everywhere. I looked out the windshield and I managed to make out a car stopping.
Finally the car stopped rolling and the pain hit me. "Agh." I screamed. I pulled out a piece of glass that was in my hand and god that hurt. I saw that the car landed on the roof so I was just hanging upside down. I sucked in a breath of air as I un-buckled my seat belt. My side hit the roof with a loud BANG. I groaned loudly. I used my legs to push out the door and it flung open. I crawled out slowly and it only hurt a little, no it hurt a lot. I used my magic to heal myself again and my hand flung to my stomach hoping that my baby's were alright. I noticed that the person who was driving the car was Victoria. She came running to me. "Rose oh my god are you okay?" She asked me. I nodded my head. I felt in my pockets for my phone and I found it. I took a picture of my car before I ran up to Victoria. "Hey um what's up?" I asked her. She looked at me in shock, and then at my car. "Holy shit what happened?" She screamed at me. I winced slightly. "I don't know what happened, I was driving and then I realized I was going the wrong way so I turned the car around but it flipped on me and yeah." I didn't want to mention the part about Tasha.
She sighed. "Well are you alright?" I rolled my eyes. "Yes I'm alright." I told her. "Okay let's get into the car, because you aren't wearing a coat and it's the middle of fall." Vickie told me. I nodded my head because I was really fucking cold. While we were driving home Vickie decided to break the silence. "So who was on the phone and why did it make you freak out?" She asked me. I sighed but I knew I had to tell her because this wasn't something you can hide. "Um well the person on the phone was Tasha Ozera, she said she hates me and that she is going to take Dimitri and turn him strogi and then she is going to take my kids away from me then she'll kill me and turn my kid's strogi when they are older." I told her in one breath. I turned my head slightly to see Victoria's mouth wide open. "Does Dimitri know?" She asked sternly. I bit my lip slightly before I shook my head. "Uh what he knows is that she escaped from court as a strogi." I told her.
She nodded her head. We went back to silence until we were right in front of the house. "Were here." She said to me. I nodded my head and slipped out of the truck. I walked into the house and I made my way upstairs and into Dimitri's room. I flopped myself on to the bed and I snuggled into the blanket. "Mmmm, baby's I won't let anything happen to you, or your daddy." I told them. I pressed my hand to my small but noticeable baby bump. "Hush little baby don't say a word, mommy's gonna kill all the strogi in the world. And if one of them does survive, mommy's going to give him a huge black eye." I smile at my little song. Then I remembered one I heard from a book I read.
"Baby's of mine, don't you cry. Baby's of mine, dry your eyes. Lay your head close to my heart, never to part, babies of mine. Little ones, when you play, don't you mind what they say. Let those eyes sparkle and shine, never a tear, baby's of mine. If they knew sweet little you, they'd end up loving all of you too. All those same people who scolded you, what they'd give just for the right to hold all of you. From head to toe, you have so much, goodness knows. You're so precious to me, cute as can be, babies of mine." I whispered softly to my stomach. I smiled at the little flutter I felt in my stomach.
"That was beautiful Roza." I heard Dimitri mumble. I yelped loudly and I think I jumped like 10 feet of the ground. "Holy shit!" I screamed. I tried to catch my breath while I scrambled off the bed. Dimitri walked up to me. "I'm sorry Roza for scaring you, are you alright?" Dimitri asked me. I nodded my head. "So Vika told me about Tasha calling you, Rose you know I won't let Tasha get anywhere near you or our children." He told me. I wrapped my hands around his neck. I brushed my lips against his, not kissing him but making him moan. "Or you." I mumbled. He chuckled softly then he got serious. "She also told me about your car." He told me sternly. "Right I have something to show you." I told him.
I walked over to the nightstand by his bed and I picked up my phone. I went through my photos until I found the one of my car. "Here." I paced him my phone. "Oh my god and you left that accident without any scratches?" He asked. I laughed. "I may have also healed myself." I told him. He laughed as well. "Well I'm just glad that you are alright and also that my babies are alright." He kneeled down so that he was right in front of my belly. He placed 3 soft kisses on it before he gave me a short but passionate kiss. "Would you like some lunch my soon to be wife?" Dimitri asked me. I laughed and nodded my head. "Maybe I should get dressed first." I told him looking down at my pj's. I may have survived the accident without any scratches but my clothes didn't.
He laughed again. "Meet you downstairs." He told me. "Bye." I whispered to him. I grabbed my closet suitcase to me and I threw everything out of my suitcase looking for the best outfit. I decided on a pair of black skinny jeans and a Byline Beaded Necklace Halter Top, blue. I brushed my hair and left it alone and I slipped on a pair of black flats. I was on my way downstairs when I heard little Zoya crying from her room. I walked into her room slowly and I approached her crib. She was wailing really loud so I picked her up and I cradled her close to me. She quieted down a little and she started to mumble nothings in baby talk. I smiled down at her, as a swayed her back and forth slowly. Soon her eyes closed and she was asleep.
I put her back down and I made my way downstairs, it was around 12:30 and I could smell lunch. I walked into the kitchen and I was hit with the beautiful smell of bacon, oh how I love bacon. I saw Olena at the stove making lunch so I decided not to bug her. I walked outside and I saw Dimitri and Victoria having a match. Lissa, Chris, Paul, Sonya and Yeva were all watching. I sat beside Lissa on the ground and she smiled at me. I watched the fight with a smile on my face till I saw Victoria on the defence and let me tell you, never be on the defence when you are fighting Dimitri. "Come on Vika, come on Vika!" I chanted.
She punched Dimitri in the jaw but she missed and that punch had a lot of force packed into it so she went flying forward and Dimitri jumped her from behind. They both went down but Victoria landed first and Dimitri landed on her. You know how muscle ways more than fat well Dimitri has a lot of muscle and no fat so he weighs a ton. She yelped at the impact and Dimitri flipped her over and placed his hand over her heart. "Dead." He announced. Victoria rolled her eyes. I smiled at their exchange. "Rose what are you smiling about? I bet you can't beat him!" Victoria smirked at me.
"Oh is that a challenge well bring it on." I grinned at her. I made my way over to Dimitri and I grinned at him. I got in my ready stance. "Don't hold back." I taunted him. "Not in my nature." He shot back. Then he lunged at me.
Please review! Who do you think should win? Rose or Dimitri? Let me know!
