Here is chapter 9 thanks to my Beta: BethIsMyName
I was just outside the school when somebody pinned me to the wall. Dimitri.
He started to speak immediately.
"I didn't want that! I had no control over it" He said.
"What do you mean?" I asked, was he really feeding me this line? Of course he controlled what he did!
"I felt... she just looked into my eyes and whispered something I didn't hear - then al of a sudden I wanted to kiss her! I... I think she compelled me!" He said, I almost didn't believe it, but then Tasha appeared behind Dimitri with a smirk on her face. Damn I didn't know that bitch's compulsion was so strong!
I needed to do something to wipe that smirk off her face - anything. My hands clenched and unclenched by my sides, and I did the only thing I could think of.
I got free from Dimitri's grip, and punched Tasha right in the face. She fell to the ground with a sharp yelp, clutching her face in her hands.
"Well that certainly wasn't necessary - but she deserved it" Dimitri said nonchalantly. I liked that side of Dimitri.
"She definitely deserved it" I laughing.
He looked over at me, our eyes locked and I forgave him, I didn't really know for what, because he had no control over it, but still.
"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow in gym comrade!" I said , walking away when i heard the bell ring out. I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure I heard Dimitri threaten Tasha to not come near me anymore.
When I sat in my next class, I started thinking, was I really prepared to travel the world with Dimitri? Honestly, I was. I was ready to leave with him and travel the world. If I was being completely honest, I wish we could just leave right now, I don't want to wait until the 3 weeks end.
But then I felt some of Lissa's emotions, and I remembered that I still needed to tell her that I was going to leave. But I didn't want to tell everyone, so I came up with a plan. In a few days, Dimitri and I will sneak away, and nobody will notice, nobody will know - where we are or what we're doing. maybe we can leave a note, so they won't come searching us, and then we can travel and be happy. That is, if Dimitri agrees with me.
When school ended, I decided I needed to tell Lissa - today. She's find out sometime or another, and it was best if she heard it from me. I invited her around to my house, and thankfully she agreed.
"So what's so important?" She asked as she sat down on my bed.
"Uhh…I'm…" Shit - she was going to be so pissed at me. I couldn't even word the sentence, let alone say it to her!
She looked at me with expectantly and I did what I always ended up doing - I just blurted it out.
"I'm leaving with Dimitri" I said really quicklyan closed my eyes, waiting for her wrath.
Then I heard laughter. What The Fuck?
"You're kidding, right?" she asked. Like I could joke about something like this!
"No Lissa, I'm not lying - or joking! We're going to travel the word, visit his family, kill strigoi. I'm not going back to the Academy when field practice is over. Not now, not ever." I said finally.
"What? Rose please say you're kidding! What happened to being my guardian?!" She yelled, Shit she was mad.
"I faked my own death Lissa, do really you think they're going to let me be your guardian?" I asked quietly.
"Yes! Of Course! I'll compel them, please Rose don't leave me!" she begged, standing up from her seat and walking towards me and sitting beside me, clutching my hand in both of hers.
"I'm sorry Lissa, but I already said yes, I'm going to miss you, very, very much. But I'll visit I promise" I said, I could feel through the bond that she had calmed down, but instead of feeling anger, she felt sad, hurt even.
"I'm really sorry Liss" I said again. She looked at me, and she knew I wasn't going to change my mind
"I'm going to miss you so much!" She cried, throwing her arms around me. I hugged her back, and we sat there for a few minutes, and then I told her my plan. She promised that if Dimitri and I would sneak away, she wouldn't tell anybody.
Lissa left a few hours later, and it was time for me to go to Dimitri and tell him my plan. I called him and he said he would be there in a few minutes.
When he came in my room I jumped up and kissed him, he kissed me back and started laughing.
"What so funny?" I asked.
"Your enthusiasm, it's one of the things I most love about you." he said, and kissed the tip of my nose.
I laughed and sat on the bed, and motioned for him to sit beside me.
"I don't want to stay until the end of the field practice" I said looking at my hands, Dimitri took my hands in his big ones.
"Me neither" He said, I looked up at him and saw that he meant it, that gave me the courage to tell my plan.
He liked my plan, and we decided to wait 2 days until we would leave.
"I want you to meet my family Rose" He said, and he kinda looked nervous, like I wouldnt want that. Yeah I was nervous about meeting his family, but they were important for Dimitri, and I would do anything for him.
"I'd love to" I said.
We talked for a few hours about all the places we would go, and worked out our plan.
Dimitri left, I climbed in bed, and sighed with happiness.
