I'm back! Sorry for the delay, i've been pretty swamped with homework lately and life has been pretty crazy too. Hope you like this new chapter.
"Where am I?" Lissa groaned.
"It's a strigoi I knows' place. He'll be gone for a while so don't worry." I replied to her, making Lissa gasp. "What? You thought this was all a dream did you? Sorry sugar, but no, I am a strigoi and I did kidnap you from your friends. You better get used to those facts Liss."
"But... Rose why did you take me? And why haven't you just killed me already?" She questioned with a bewildered look in her eyes.
"Well I haven't killed you because that would be stupid. I mean, I don't particularly want a whole heap of Guardians on my tail for the rest of my un-dead life." I paused for dramatic effect and then answered her first question which I knew would shock her. "And I took you because, well Lissa you're my best friend. Always have been always will be. Just because I'm a strigoi doesn't mean I don't want to protect you. Hell if I could, I would still guard you, but I'm thinking the entire Moroi-dhampir world wouldn't be too happy or comfortable with a strigoi guarding the last Dragomir."
I watched as her expression changed from bewildered to absolutely stunned. She was speechless for about a full five minutes. She then proceeded to make odd breathy noises. Maybe she's going into shock. Should I slap her?
"Oh my God Rose! Are you crazy?" She finally managed to gasp out.
"Well yeah, a little I guess. That's mostly your fault, but don't flatter yourself too much. That's petty for a living being. And you're not a strigoi... yet."
This time I shocked her so much, she passed out.
...
"My God Adrian are you even trying?" Dimitri shouted at him from across the Ivashkov family living room.
They had gathered there after Rose ran off with Lissa, into the dark night. They had no idea where they were.
"Of course I'm trying! I've been at it for the last hour!" Adrian snapped back. He was exhausted from using so much spirit and it was beginning to take it's took on his wellbeing.
"Well then keep going!" Christian joined in. He was pacing up and down in front of the lit fireplace.
Adrian just shook his head and shut his eyes again. A frustrated and concentrating look came over his face.
"Guys, Rose is probably keeping her awake so that Lissa can't tell us where she is." Eddie said into the silence.
"Wait... I think I've got her." Adrian called out with his eyes shut tight and his eyebrows furrowed.
...
When Lissa opened her eyes she stood in a court yard at St. Vladimir's and she immediately knew she was dreaming. She was wearing the same clothes she was in real life; a navy blue collared dress with black tights and boots however they were much neater and clean than in real life. She turned around in a circle looking to see if there was anybody around.
"Adrian!" She said with a smile when he appeared in front of her, also dressed in what he was wearing the last time she had seen him. However, unlike her he looked very tired and messy. His hair was overly mussed and his dark shirt was crumpled.
"This is a spirit dream, isn't it?" Lissa asked him when she noticed his gloomy expression.
"Yeah it is. But it's so good to see you cousin. You have to tell me where you are. I've been trying to get into your head for hours. Everyone is freaking out; Belikov and Guardian Hathaway even tried to follow you and Rose. Christian's out of his mind."
"Oh." Lissa was again speechless, she had so much to say but she didn't know when Rose might wake her up. "Okay, I don't know how much time I have so just listen: Rose took me to some place, I didn't see; she blindfolded me. I'm okay, she doesn't plan on killing me are feeding off of me. But, oh God Adrian she gonna turn me."
"What!? Crap. Lissa were gonna find you I swear to God." Adrian's said with a dark expression.
"I know, I know. But just wait okay. You have to tell them, tell everyone I love them okay? Promise me." She continued when he nodded. "Good. And, um... she said something. When I asked where I was, Rose said something about another strigoi... A strigoi she knows. It's his place!"
"Okay, I'll tell them all. We'll come for you." Adrian told Lissa hurriedly.
Then he placed a soft kiss to her forehead. "Good luck Lissa."
