Chapter 7.
CPOV.
"Dude will you relax? You'll ware a hole in the floor and all you're pacing is making me nervous!" Dimitri said becoming exasperated.
We had been on the dam plain for a couple hours and I couldn't help but feel restless. This was weird because I never really got all freaked out about long rides or in this case long flights, but there was just something about this one that was making me antsy. Maybe it had something to do with the look I saw on Lissa's face only moments before boarding. I'd expected her to freak out about my departure but she hadn't. She was calmed and composed while Rose was the one that was all emotional. I supposed that it had something to do with the hormones but I wasn't sure. Lissa was the poster child for freaking out when things went to hell in a hand basket. Only not this time. I knew that I should've been proud of her and I was but at the same time, I was worried. She had been doing a great job of keeping spirit at bay lately, but I was sure that eventually it would catch up to her or maybe Rose. That was the only thing I hated about Lissa's magic. I mean don't get me wrong, she could do some really cool things, but with every good thing she paid a price in the long run. And, so did Rose. She didn't even asked to be bonded to Lissa and yet she was. I knew her well enough to know that she would do anything for her friends and her family even if it meant endangering herself, but she didn't deserve it. Rose was one of the most selfless persons I knew. Sure she was stubborn at times, but if any of our lives were endanger she wouldn't hesitate to give her own life in return for our's. Even as I saw her tear streaked face, I asked her to take care of Lissa and she nodded. She would do anything for her.
"Ozera! Sit down!" Dimitri snapped. I was still pacing despite the numerous times he'd asked me to stop. I knew Dimitri well enough to know that he too was worried about Rose and Lissa and I was sure that my pacing did nothing to calm him. After all, he had seen the tears stream down Rose's cheeks just as I had and he no doubt was trying to figure out if it was just the hormones. I took a few deep breaths as I tried to calm myself, then I took a seat. The moment I sat down, I came to my feet again.
"Want a drink D?" I asked Dimitri who seemed relieved that I wasn't about to start pacing again.
"Christian, we're on duty bro, no drinks." He said automatically. I shook my head at him.
"We're not on duty yet." I told him. I didn't drink very often, only if I was stressed about something or in this case, someone. After the briefest moment of hesitation, Dimitri nodded and muttered,
"I suppose one drink wouldn't hurt."
After a couple shots, I felt my emotions calm down. As I looked at Dimitri I found that he too had calmed down. Now, he mostly looked tired.
"Rose kept you up last night or something?" I asked him. It wasn't the alcohol that made me ask him that question. Dimitri and I had gotten closer since he became my guardian. I supposed that when you spent so much time with someone it's kind of impossible to not get attached. He grinned and said,
"Wouldn't you like to know? I know Lissa kept you up."
Dam that blasted bond! I was sure that my face gave the answer away. Dimitri knew that when Rose said that Lissa kept me up it wasn't in anyway sexual. She had one of her melt downs and I couldn't bear to sleep knowing that she needed comfort. We let the conversation drop there each sensing that the other didn't want to talk about last night.
Not long after the pilot announced that we were about to land. Glancing out the window, I was pleasantly surprised to see that nothing had changed. The academy stood there in all it's gothic glory ancient and sprawling like a proud beast before us. I saw Dimitri taking it all in as we got off the plain. I wasn't sure of what he thought about this place but I knew one thing, this place was special to him. It was where his romance with Rose began. It was special to me as well, but for different reasons. Yes, it was where I'd met and fallen in love with the Dragomir princess, but this was also my safe haven. When my parents had turned Strigoi, this was where Aunt Tasha had sent me. This was where I felt safe. Well, that is I had until the Strigoi attack on the school. Looking around now, I had to admit that I really did miss this place. I let all my worries go as I walked with Dimitri to meet Alberta who wrapped her arms around us. This was truly a beautiful moment. The only thing that was missing was Lissa. I was pretty sure Dimitri felt the same way about Rose.
RPOV.
As the door to Ronda's room appeared before us, I couldn't stop the chill that ran down my spine nor could I stop the niggling sense that this wasn't going to be good. My breaths came rapidly and my heart beat frantically in my chest. It beat so hard I was sure that my chest would suddenly explode. I use to think that Ronda's readings were scams, but now I wasn't so sure. She had told me that I would slay the undead and I had scoffed at that, but now I knew that her words had more meaning to them that I would've ever imagined. She had also told Dimitri that he would lose what he valued most and I had foolishly thought it was me. The fact of the matter was that her predictions or whatever they were called always came true. Lissa raised her hand to knock but before she could the door opened. Ronda stood there a warm smile on her face.
"Princess," She said bowing slightly. Lissa rolled her eyes.
"It's Lissa Ronda. You know that." She told the older woman.
"Rosemarie, I was expecting you." She said looking deep into my eyes. As i held that gaze, I felt like she was seeing deep inside my sole and that scared me more than I would ever admit out loud. A warm hand in mine calmed me as well as calming messages and emotions that I knew weren't mine. They were coming from Lissa, God bless her. Ronda took my hands in her's. Still focusing in my eyes, she said,
"Your offspring are special, being the first to be conceived by 2 dhampirs and you must protect them Rose because there are people who would want to use them for their own self gain." I already knew this and was about to say as much but she cut me off.
"Prepare yourself also, for another adventure awaits you thanks to the one that owns your heart." Could she be any more cryptic? She looked away then only for a moment and smiled warmly at me. She released my hands and gestured for Lissa to give her her hands. She met Lissa's gaze then as she had done to me.
"The Dragomirs shall not be allowed to vanish into extinction. It's up to you and your sister to make sure that this doesn't happen. The Dragomirs were one of the most powerful lines and their fame does not end with you or your sister." Leaving the mystery hanging in the air, she let go of Lissa's hands. She grabbed her bag then and walked towards the door.
"Well Ladies, thanks for visiting. Do come again, but for now, it's lunchtime." She said. I stared for a moment still transfixed on the prediction. I sensed that Lissa was trying to piece together her own prediction as well. We soon left the spar with new manicures, pedicures and more tension. The massage was supposed to relax me but I was tenser than I had been when I walked in. As we passed the reception desk, I glared at Ambrose. He didn't seem to notice though. He was too busy talking to none other than, wait for it, Mia. Lissa and I spent the rest of the day together, getting lunch and watching chick flicks. We ended the day with dinner at one of courts nicest restaurants. I was exhausted and wanted nothing more than a hot bath and to curl up in my bed wrapped in warm blankets, but the universe seriously had it out for me.
