Chapter 10: We have to leave

Hi everyone. So how was the last chapter? If you're confused, or wondering, the baby WILL be a dhampir. Rose and Dimitri were once dhampir, and because Rose was already technically undead before, and because Dimitri is now, the baby, somehow is a dhampir. Ok I'll shut up now.

2 months later…

I really hate strigoi right now. They're all useless; plus stupid. I asked them to bring Lissa in an hour ago for feeding, but no, they insisted on bringing a blood bag! We had a ridiculous argument on how the baby will be a dhampir.

I know, I know, weird. Apparently, Adrian and Lissa had read somewhere in a old textbook back at the academy, a shadow-kissed strigoi, or a person/dhampir/moroi that had once died, but came back to life, can have a living baby with a regular strigoi. I know, I didn't get it at first too. You see, because I was already 'undead' when I was still a dhampir, when I became a strigoi, the shadow-kissed effects were still there which explains why I still have the bond. But back to the baby. Depending on the species of each parent, the baby will be that species. In other words, undead moroi/moroi, undead dhampir/dhampir, and undead human/human. But, at least one parent has to be shadow-kissed. This of course is me.

And on top of that, this pregnancy was a little faster than a normal one. Instead of nine months, it only takes around six or seven. Adrian said it might be due to the fact that it isn't a normal pregnancy. Who knows?

I got bored and decided to take a quick walk around. I quietly snuck downstairs without any one noticing.

"Are you sure it's yours?" I heard Paige screech.

I hid behind a corner and saw Dimitri and Paige standing in the living room talking.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure the baby is mine since I'm the only person she slept with." Dimitri said with an exasperated sigh. Paige glared and looked down. I couldn't help but want to slap the shit out of her. Is she accusing me of cheating on Dimitri? Oh hell no.

"But you said that that Adrian guy or whatever has a crush on her." Paige looked up and smirked. Dimitri shook his head. "Are sure she didn't sleep with him while you were away?" She smiled. That bitch. I felt my teeth clench and my hands turned into fists. "I mean, isn't she known to be a blood-"

Dimitri cut her off. "Rose would never sell herself cheap like that." He stared down Paige whose smirk was faltering. "She has never had sex with him and never will." The stupid hormones started to make my eyes a little teary.

Paige frowned. "But Dimka," she put her arms around him in an intimate way. She pressed herself so close to his chest that there was no space between them. He turned his face away so she wouldn't meet his eyes. "How do you know Rose didn't do it out of, loneliness?" I shot daggers at her. "Face me, please." He stilled wouldn't look at her. She growled and grabbed his face and made him turn to her. "You will listen to me," she directed. He stared at her with a blank expression. She's using compulsion on him. "You will believe every word I tell you from now on." He nodded. "You don't love Rose Hathaway, you love me." I growled. "That baby she is carrying is not yours, it's Adrian's, now say that she is a blood whore."

I snapped. I ran right out of hiding and pounced on her. I screamed as I threw her against the wall. "You bitch!" I screamed. I turned to Dimitri. He was shaking his head with confusion.

"He's mine!" she screamed back. "And he'll always be mine!" She charged right back at me, Dimitri got in the way. "What d you think you're doing?"

"Roza, get Lissa and the others now. We have to leave." I nodded and ran back upstairs as quickly as I could to their room. I had to ignore the screams that were coming from both Dimitri and Paige.

I ran all the way to their room and banged on the door until it fell apart.

"What's going on?" Lissa said and got up from bed. I guess they were all sleeping or getting some rest since they all had red, tired eyes and were groaning when I screamed.

"Get everything you need now!" I said frantically. "We have to leave. There's no time."

"What? Why?" Christian asked.

"Dimitri and Paige are fighting downstairs, right now." I grabbed some suitcases from the closet and threw them on the ground in front of them. "Pack and get ready to run." They all got up and started to stuff their small belongings into the suitcases. "I'll be back." I said and ran across the house to me and Dimitri's room.

I slammed the door open to loud and the baby woke up. "I'm sorry." I said and picked him up from the small cot right next to the bed. He looked at me with teary eyes and his mouth was quivering. "It's ok, Eli, it's ok." We decided to call him Eli when we found him. I placed him in the middle of the bed and grabbed two suitcases for me and Dimitri. I packed all the clothes I could and packed Eli's baby bag since he'll need it. I grabbed diapers, bottles, formula, and everything else he would need.

I picked him up along with the suitcases and ran back to the others. "Are you ready?" I asked when I reached their room. They nodded. "Hold him." I handed Eli to Lissa and grabbed her suitcase.

"Where's Dimitri?" Adrian asked. I heard running footsteps behind me and turned around. He was all sweaty, and a little bloody, but he was Dimitri.

"We have to hurry up. The other strigoi probably heard Paige." He grabbed two suitcases from me and the baby bag. "Let's go." We ran all the way down the stairs and out the house.

We ran down to the SUV that was parked right in front of the house and tossed the luggage into the trunk and climbed in. We lost some time because we had to buckle Eli in. We saw Brian from the window and saw that he was staring at us.

"Drive!" I said and Dimitri started the ignition and we sped out of there.

Okay, sorry I ran out of ideas so please bear with me if this was irritating.
