The Academy
Dimitri
When I woke up, I first looked at Rose. She was still in her coma, but she was smiling. It was like she was dreaming of something that made her absolutely happy. Her smile was genuine and beautiful. It was devastating.
I stood up and stretched. I had laid next to Rose all night and the bed and the small space that I was in wasn't enough room for my body. I walked over to the window and watched the sun setting. It was Moroi morning and Lissa would be over here to check up on Rose any moment. Actually, she got here faster than I expected.
I heard the door open and Lissa popped her head into the room.
"How is she?" she asked when she saw me.
"Good I guess. She didn't talk during the night and she was smiling earlier." I gestured towards Rose's form in the bed.
"I wonder where she is now," Lissa said. She got reflective look while she watched her best friend sleep. Then, out of the blue, she remembered something. "Oh! I brought this for you."
She reached into her purse and pulled out a DVD with four people, a scarecrow, a tinman, a young girl, and a lion, linked arm in arm with each other. They stood on a yellow brick road with red flowers on the sides. A blue sky and white clouds were behind the title of the DVD. The Wizard of Oz was written in yellow with a small, black dog in the center of the O in Oz. a group of green towers stood off in the distance.
"The movie that Rose thinks that she's in?" I guessed.
Lissa blushed. "Yeah. I figured that you never saw it and so I thought that you could go through the journey with her. I feel bad when I say where she's at in the story and you look clueless."
I nodded my thanks and put the disc into the DVD player attached to the TV that was mounted to the wall. I hit play and waited for the movie to start. I was about to hit fast forward when I looked at the DVD box closer. The girl looked familiar. She looked like Rose. The blue and white checked dress and ruby slippers were not Rose's style, but the brown eyes and brown hair were almost a match.
The opening scene began and my and Lissa's attention were drawn to the screen.
I kinda felt bad for making Dimitri so out of the loop so I thought that him watching what Rose was going through would help. I'm not going to write everything that he sees, but i will write most of his reactions. He's watching this while Rose is doing it so repeating it would be boring and redundant. -SagWarrior
