Chapter 7

DPOV:

To say that I was shocked was an understatement. I was way beyond shocked, words cannot describe what I am feeling right now. I groaned and looked at the bunch in front of me. I closed my eyes and could not believe this was happening. The plan was not going as planned. I counted to three before all the shocked faces and awkwardness went down. I walked into the living room and paced the old wooden floors. I tried to analyze what went wrong. I tried to add it all up but it didn't make sense. None of this made any sense to me whatsoever.

I walked over to the window and looked at the reflections in the window. I saw one person in particular watching me. I lowered my eyes from her view. I couldn't believe she was here and now watching me. She was probably over thinking why I came here with Tasha. Probably thinking that, when the going gets tough, I run to the whore. I guess you could say that. But I didn't run into her. I simply told her to go away but she didn't listen. No one ever does. Especially Rose. She was not suppose to be here. It wasn't part of the plan.

Rose shot me a look in the window again and I nodded, she walked away and I heard her talking to someone. Whoever she talked to had lead her somewhere. I watched where they went and I was too follow after. I pushed myself away from the window and turned around and walked the direction Rose and Victor headed off to. I wrung my hands together as I walked down the hall to whatever room Rose was in now. I passed Victor and he gave me a curt nod, as if he was on the secret too.

I walked into the room and saw Rose sitting on the bed. Like she was expecting me to blow up at her. I couldn't even get words out of my mouth to even begin. I sighed and shook my head, looking at her exasperated, she took my silence an acceptance to talk. I waited for her excuse, only it never came. She walked over to me and touched my bruised eye and I flinched a bit, since it was still sore.

"Does it hurt?" She asked quietly. I nodded my head and said nothing. "Good."

"Good?" I asked confused.

"Next time you'll listen to me." Rose walked over to the dresser and looked at the large mirror sitting on it. "But other then that, I am sorry he hit you."

"I was expecting to being hit back." I smirked and walked over to her. I rubbed her shoulders gently. "I knew your father would fight back."

"He always fights back. You know, I'm surprised he let you live." I chuckled. "I'm serious. He would have killed you."

"I know. I didn't care."

"I would have cared. And so would your sisters." I flinched at that truth. I knew they would all missed me if I had died. Just as I would miss them if they died. I moved back a bit and let Rose turn around and lean against the dresser.

"You didn't stick to the plan." I said.

"I know." She whispered. "I'm sorry, but I was so anxious about knowing what was here. I needed answers."

"Well you got them."

"Could he be, you know, a suspect?" She played with the zipper on my jacket.

"Hard to say, I mean he's creepy, and lives alone in the woods, in this cabin." I gestured around the place.

Rose nodded and unzippered my jacket. "Can I put it on?" I nodded. She took it right off and put it on, smiling. "Mm, now I'm warm."

I Chuckled and shook my head. "Roza, what am I going to do with you?"

"Hmm," she pretended to think and put her finger to her lips, tapping away lightly and her expression shown, as if she came up with the greatest idea ever. "I have a few things in mind."

"None, that include clothing removal?" I rose a brow at her and she pouted. "You weren't thinking of.."

"What I just thought. We're in this creepy cabin, and we can.." I cut her off.

"No Rose. We are not doing it in some strangers home. Let alone a suspect. He could be in cahoots with the actual suspect and have this place wired." I pointed out.

She sucked in a long breathe and walked away from me. I thought she was going to leave, until I saw her scope out the place. She was looking everywhere for wires, cameras, and microphones. She looked like she was onto something, I felt like I was a super cool FBI cop from one of those CSI shows and was undercover, trying to catch a crook. Well we were technically. Just minus the cool gadgets, and badges.

I walked over to Rose and seen what she saw. She put a finger to her lips and walked to the bed, she lifted the pillows and saw a remote. I looked confused for a second.

"He doesn't have a TV." I looked around the room and nodded. "So there must be a camera." She looked from the bed, to the top of the dresser. "Ah-ha. Got you." She smirked and walked over to the top shelf and pulled down a camera. "This guy must get a kick out of this."

"What?" I asked walking over to her as she showed me the LCD screen. It showed of many visitors in this room, and most are couples. This is why Victor led us here. He thought we were going to... "That Bastard."

Rose put a hand on my arm and smiled. "It's okay Dimitri. We should give him a little tease."

"What do you mean?" I asked stupidly. I knew exactly what she meant.

"We give a little strip tease and then call him out. It's plain and simple." She gave me a 'DUH' shake of the head.

"I don't know Rose."

She threw her arms up in exasperation and rolled her eyes. "Whatever. You are such a prude Dimitri. Do you not want to have fun, before, I don't know. We die."

"I don't want fun until my sisters are found." I said quietly. "Sorry, for being innocent and just want to save my family."

Rose walked over to me and sat me on the bed with her. "Look I'm sorry. I don't mean to be pushy, but I want this so badly. I want to have you. What if something happened to us, I'll never have you."

"Nothing won't happen to us, because I know nothing will."

"How can you be so sure Dimitri? You saw what happened in your dream. Would you want me, after what happens? Or would you run away and stay as far away from me?"

I grasped her hands in mine and shook my head. "I would never run away Rose. Maybe that's what you're reading too much into. You keep thinking that bad shit is going to happen to us. But it's not."

"So what happens now?" She asked, that subject finally done and over with.

"We make a new plan. One that you will Stick to." I said and touched her nose. "And then maybe, when we're in a different location, we can.."

"Shouldn't the who matter. Not the where." Rose stated. "I mean, if you really like someone shouldn't you love them wherever you are?"

"Didn't you do that with the guy you were last with."

"I never loved him." She spat.

"So you just did it because you felt it was right?"

She pushed me away and stood up. "I didn't do it because I wanted to. I didn't do it because of the guy either. I was forced to do it Dimitri. I was kidnapped, blindfolded and raped. I couldn't control it." She was growing angry now. I got up and walked over to her. "Don't touch me."

I backed away and looked at her. "Just calm down Rose I didn't know."

"Of you didn't know. You never asked."

"Oh yes, I should always ask a girl.. 'hey before we have sex, have you been raped?' Yes that works out perfectly. If you haven't noticed, I don't delve into private lives. I just thought it was your personal business. So I didn't further it." She was quiet. I walked back over to her and cupped her face. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I thought you wouldn't like me anymore, so I assumed."

"There you go. Assuming again. Just jumping to a conclusion before you even find out. I hate that about you Rose. You just assume, assume, assume."

She sighed and shook her head. "I'm sorry okay."

I nodded my head and held her waist. "Apology accepted."

She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. I pulled her closer and kissed her gently. "Now, don't ever say you hate something about me."

"I will never say that again my love." She giggled. "What?"

"Don't say that you sound like an old man."

"Speaking of old men. We should get out of here first." I said and headed towards the door.

"Wait? We know that the man has a camera. But what if we turn it off." She suggested.

"Rose, what I said earlier, I meant it. I don't want my first time to be in this creepy cabin. Our friends are out there waiting for us, and we're taking longer to talk then it should."

Rose rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Fine, whats the plan Sam." She crossed her arms and leaned against the bed post.

I smirked, "first, I need you to promise, please promise, that you will stick to the plan this time."

She held out her pinky and I grabbed it with mine. "Promise" She said and sat on the bed.

After awhile of talking and making a new plan me and Rose walked out of the room and back to our friends. Tasha looked up and smirked, she walked over to me and held my arm. I shook her off and walked over to my previous spot at the window. Victor looked up from his spot and a smile played on his lips. I couldn't help the smile of my own play upon my lips. I looked at Rose and nodded towards her.

"Can I use a phone?" Rose said.

"I don't have a phone." Victor looked at Rose.

"Well, I need to call my dad. It's Urgent. I need him to bring me some lady stuff. I just got my friend and well you know the drill with women." She smiled sweetly.

I rolled my eyes. I told Rose not to go with that story. But it worked perfectly. I could see him falling for it. I watched Rose walk away with Victor to wherever he held a phone or a bathroom. I stood up and searched the walls. Everyone was looking at me until I found something a wire. The guy had no TVs and no phones, but he certainly does have a lot of wires. I followed it.

"Dimitri, what are you doing?" Lissa said. I looked at her and pointed to the ceiling. There was a chandelier with the wires connected to it and a blinking read light.

"he's watching" I mouthed to her. Everyone saw what I said and covered their mouths. I walked over Christian and moved him out of the way. I stood on my toes and touched the ceiling and it shown an attic door. I was getting the hang of searching places. I should become a cop.

I walked around again and found a door. I opened it and it lead to a basement. I couldn't contain my joy that I had found a basement. I closed the door behind me and walked down the stairs. I turned on the light and saw nothing. It was a regular basement. I couldn't help the disappointment on my face, when I discovered there was nothing in here. Just old shit. I was getting annoyed now. I swore I was close to finding my sisters and nothing. It led me to nothing.

I stomped up the stairs and over to the old man and grabbed him by his shirt. He looked at me like I had five heads. I was so fumed right now. I needed answers and I needed them now. "Where are they?"

"Where are who?" He asked me.

"My sisters." I growled.

Rose ran over to me and placed a hand on my arm. "Dimitri stop."

"I asked you old man. Where are my sisters?" I hoisted the old man up.

"Dimitri. He doesn't know. I asked him all ready. He has camera's in here because he watches for trespassers. He has camera's all over his house." Rose looked at me. Damn it. Now I'm the one that screwed up the plan. I closed my eyes and let the man go.

He straightened out his shirt and looked pointedly at me. "Leave my house now. Or I'll get the police."

"Not the first threat about police used on me. It doesn't scare me." I walked away from him and walked out of the cabin. I heard everyone follow me. And Christian was the wise ass that spoke. "Don't even say anything Christian. I am in no mood."

He stared at me and laughed. "Dude, Belikov. You have gone psycho. I swear. Ever since your sisters were announced missing. You just started to jump on everyone like they are a suspect. You need to calm down. We will find your sisters. We can't just jump in whenever we feel like it. It takes time. We can't go on a full blown plan."

"He's right." Eddie spoke up.

"Who asked you guys anyways?" I said and walked away. "You guys don't know anything and you guys think like you do but you don't."

"Look Dimitri, you need to calm down. Or you will end up hurting yourself and your sisters will never be found." Eddie said putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Boy, get your hand off me.."

"Or what? You going to haul me off my ass and shake me around? Look I am not afraid of you Dimitri. You need to stop acting like some big bad guy and just face reality. You are a scared little bitch." He said.

I shoved his hand off my shoulder and continued to walk away. I didn't realize I was alone. No one followed me. Not even Rose. I turned around and saw them staring at something. I didn't know what they were looking at. So I decided to turn around and see what has gotten them so frozen.

"Guys, come on, I know I am not that big of a..." I stopped and looked at what had them frozen. Right in front of them what a wolf. A gray wolf. And boy did he look angry. I let a breath and grabbed for Rose's hand. She squeezed my hand and I stepped back. "Don't move" I said through gritted teeth.

"You think we would move." Mason said.

We all watched the wolf stand there watching us. This had to be the scariest thing I have ever encountered. Rose gave out a yelp when she backed up into a tree. Shit. We're screwed.

That was until Victor came out of the cabin with a rifle in his hand and shot at the ground. That was when the wolf lunged at us. All of us parted ways and ran like crazy. I was running with all my might. You can't outrun a wolf. Its just a known fact. I just ran like hell. I could see Eddie and Mason running next to me. Lissa, Rose, Tasha, Mia, and Christian ran the opposite direction. This was one thing that had me scared. The girls were by themselves with just Christian to protect him. He was no match against the wolf. Well none of us were. But the wolf was on our tail. Literally. We hauled ass until one of us was taken down. The wolf lunged and tackled down Mason. He was down. Me and Eddie stopped. Watching in fear. We couldn't move or anything. He was killing Mason. We had to stop the wolf. But we couldn't. Eddie reached down and grabbed a branch and started too beat the wolf down with it. I grabbed Mason quick and took off my shirt and pressed it to his wounds.

"Eddie stop!" I yelled and walked over to him. "You go to Mason." When he didn't move I pushed him. "NOW!" He finally moved and walked over to Mason and I heard him talking. I leaned down and grabbed the wolf from his muzzle. I have to remember what I learned in cub scouts. Now what was it?

I quickly remembered and snapped the wolf's jaw then his neck. The entire time I had my eyes closed. I couldn't kill an animal. But I had to do what I had to do. I quickly remembered Eddie and Mason. I quickly ran over to them and helped put pressure on Mason's wounds.

"How is is?" I asked, knowing what was going to be said.

Eddie sighed and shook his head. "It doesn't look good" I got up and walked away. "Where are you going?"

"To Find the others." I said and continued to walk. I had to think, one of us is going to die. And is dying right now.

"Comrade?" I heard Rose. I turned around and ran to her hugging her tightly. "Baby what's wrong?"

"It's Mason."

"What about Mason. What happened to Mason?"

I sighed and saw the others join in. "The wolf got him." I heard everyone suck in a loud breath. "Eddie is back with him."

"Did the wolf take your shirt?" I heard Christian ask.

"No it's on Mason's wounds."

I started to walk back and I felt Rose attach her hand to mine. We walked back the distance I ran and it was a lot of distance. We go to Eddie and Tasha turned on the flashlight ad screamed when she shown it on the wolf.

"You killed it?" Rose asked.

"After Eddie beat it with a branch."

"Our heroes." Mia said and knelt down besides Eddie.

I turned away and sat down. "We have to set up here. Just for tonight and in the morning we will move on. Anyone have the time?"

"It's Midnight." Lissa said. I sighed and shook my head. I didn't get much sleep. I rubbed my eyes and kept thinking about my dream.

I felt Rose snuggle into my side. "You have a blanket Dimitri." I nodded and looked at Tasha.

"Tasha. Can I have my bag." She looked up and tossed me over my bag.

I took out my blanket and wrapped Rose up in it. I kissed her cheek and smiled. "Hmm you warm now."

She nodded and yawned. "So you came with Tasha?" I knew it.

"No, she followed me. After I told her and Adrian.." I stopped. "Shit"

"What?" Everyone said. Except Tasha and Mason.

"Adrian is missing." I said and ran a hand through my hair.

"Did he get kidnapped?"

"Who would want to kidnap him?" Christian said.

"By some hot chicks who want to make out with me endlessly." I turned around and heard Adrian say. I got up and looked at him.

"Where the hell were you?"

"I found your sisters DUH" he said. And right behind him were my sisters. I smiled and ran over to them.

"What? How?" I couldn't even speak words. I was happy to see them alive. "I thought your car crashed. No one could find you."

"Well, you see what had happened was..." That was Viktoria. She always had a story. "Long story short, we crashed the car and got lost looking for the camp."

"What do you mean you got lost looking for the camp" I almost yelled.

"Hey don't yell at me. There are two campsites on this road."

"Yes and one has been closed for 57 years." I groaned. "You mean to tell me that we got kicked out of camp, I punched the camp director in the face, harassed an old man, got chased by wolves and almost died. Because you guys got lost."

"You punched the camp Director in the face?" Sonya said.

I shook my head. "Un-fucking-believable"

My sisters came over to me and hugged me tightly and I looked behind me and saw my friends. They looked at me and I knew I was about to get chewed out and my head ripped off. Where's the wolf when I need him?

There ya go! Review. So what do you think of the twist? Will Dimitri's dream still come true? What will happen to Mason?
