Hello everyone! Yes, I know, I'm FINALLY updating! I'm sorry it took so long! Enjoy this chapter and REVIEW!
Ellodie's POV
I turned around to see who was behind me, looking into deep brown eyes. I realized it was the boy. The one who looked like Dimitri. He was gorgeous.
"Um, Hi." I said with uncertainty. What was he doing here?
"Hi, I was sent by Adrian to escort you to your room." He said it with a unique manner. I couldn't quite point it out, but there was something weird about him.
"Thanks, but I don't need an escort. I'm perfectly capable of walking to my room by my self." Adrian was really starting to annoy me.
"Uh, okay. I'm Ezra by the way. But you can call me Sam."
"Sam? That's kind of odd, considering you name is Ezra."
"It's my middle name." He stated. He seemed kind of shy.
"Oh. Okay." The conversation was starting to get awkward. I didn't know what to say. So, like I always do when I don't know what to say, I blurted out the first thing that came to mind.
"Are you related to that Dimitri guy?" Oops. Maybe I shouldn't have asked that.
"Uh, yeah. It's a long story, but I'm his brother."
"That explains the resemblance," I mumbled.
"What?"
"Oh, nothing." I noticed that by this time, we were at my room. Oddly enough I didn't want to stop talking to him.
"You want to maybe hang out sometime?" I asked uncertainly.
"Yeah. I'd like that."
"Okay. Well, good night, Sam."
"Good night Ellodie."
I laid down on my bed and thought of tonight's events. I didn't know if I should believe Adrian about the Spirit thing. If I were a spirit user, than Rose would have known. As I lay there, anger built up in me. Why the fuck did Rose know and not tell me? I thought we told each other everything!
I got out of bed and stormed over to Rose's room.
Rose's POV
After the encounter with Dimitri, I decided to go to my room and sleep. Sleep for a long time. As I walked up to my room, I saw Ell beating on the door.
"Ell, I'm right here." I said. She turned around with a look of anger on her face. Oh shit.
"Why the fuck didn't you tell me? I had to find out by Adrian! Adrian for God's sake! What the fuck? I though we told each other everything!"
"What are you talking about?" I asked. I was too tired to scream back.
"Apparently I'm a Spirit user." Ellodie didn't look very happy with me.
"Come on. Lets discuss this in my room." I opened the door and walked in.
It took about 45 minuets to explain everything to her. At first she didn't want to listen to anything. She didn't believe me when I said I did it so she wouldn't go crazy from the darkness. Finally, though, she came around. It was about 2:00 when I finally got to bed.
I woke up to my phone the next morning. I didn't recognize the number, but answered anyway.
"This is Rose."
"Hey, are you planning on getting up anytime soon to go teach?" It was obviously Chris.
"Oh shit. I'll be ready in thirty. What phone are you calling off of?"
"My room phone."
"Oh. Okay. See you soon" We hung up and I got a shower and got dressed. I grabbed a coffee before I met the rest of the instructors.
The rest of my day was pretty uneventful. I decided to go for a jog. When I turned on my iPod, the song 'Bring Me To Life' by Evanescence came on. The lyrics reminded me of Dimitri and I in the cabin.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become
I had been taken over by the darkness that day. Dimitri had to bring me back, saving me from myself. We had given into each other after that. We finally had sex, and it had been my first time.
Without realizing it, I was running towards the cabin. As I reached it, I opened the door. Everything was the same as we had left it. The bed was unmade, the chair was in front of the bed, and the first aid kit was on the ground next to the water bottle he had used to clean my cut. I reached up and touched the scar that was on my forehead from that cut.
When I put my hand down, I realized I was crying. Then I heard the door open. Dimitri was standing there.
"How did you know I was here?" I asked him. I didn't feel like putting on my usual façade.
"I saw you running here." He said as he moved closer to me. I looked into his eyes, and started crying harder. He got closer and closer, finally pulling me in for a hug.
"Shh. Don't cry." He petted my head as I rested it against his shoulder. I knew that I shouldn't be doing this, but I couldn't stop myself. He murmured Russian into my ear, remembering it always seems to calm me down. No matter how much I hated to admit it, he was my other half. Dimitri knew everything about me. I may not love him, and he may not love me, but that didn't mean we couldn't have amazing chemistry.
"I need to go." I said out of nowhere. I couldn't handle this. Being here with him. The sexual tension was slowly rising and I needed to get out before I did something I would regret. He let go and wiped the tears off my face.
"Maybe we should talk. Let's grab a coffee or something," he said it more like a question.
"Yeah. I guess we should." I said over my shoulder as I walked out.
