Okay so I would like to say a special thanks to vampfreak290/Alice. You've given me great ideas that I have stemmed in this reading so I hope you like it. Then, secondly I'd like anyone who is okay with cursing and likes my writing to -if they want- PM or review this saying that they want me to email them my story -obviously email required in the message- Now I am going to stop blabbing and let you read.
By the time I arrived at Dimitri's dorm my headache had come back, and when I saw Alberta standing at the front door she said, "Hey Rose, I hope your coming to see your mother because like I said earlier, you're not allowed in Dimitri's dorm."
I groaned, "Guardian Alberta, I have this major headache and I have to tell Dimitri something its super important. I promise I won't be long," I pleaded.
She looked me over and realized that I wasn't in any mood to 'play around' with Dimitri and let me in. I ran up the stairs and knocked on Dimiti's door. Dimitri opened it and when he saw me, he looked shocked. "Hello Rose," he said coolly.
I pushed open the door and walked into the room, sitting on the end of his bed, he shut the door and walked over to me and sat down. "Rose?" he asked.
"Dimitri, I might possibly know how you're alive," I said looking up at him while my headache pounded on.
"Go on," he said, voice all business.
"Well, Lissa told me that she was readiong about what happened and found something that said that Strigoi who commit suicide can come back," I said slowly letting him process the information.
"Then why haven't other Strigoi come back?" he asked.
"Think about it, you were Strigoi. How many Strigoi want to die?" I asked him.
He sighed, "The only reason I wanted to die is because I wanted to kill you and anyone else," he said.
"Well, Lissa and I think it has something to do with me being shadow kissed," I explained.
"That might do it," he said deep in thought.
"Yea and one more thing," I told him sheepishly.
"Hm?" he asked.
"Well, I have been having these terrible headaches, but not as bad the ones with ghosts, but still pretty bad. Lissa can heal them, but they don't stay healed," I said wanting to tell him about my dreams, but if they really were just dreams then it would be foolish of me.
"It's probably just stress, try to relax and maybe it will go away," he said absently because he was still thinking about how me being 'shadow kissed' could help bring him back to life by making him want to commit suicide. Wow, that sounded complicated.
I stood up and he looked at me, I smiled at him and kissed his lips then said my goodbyes and walked out the door. I needed to find out what was suffocating me in my dreams, I was so tired and I felt like I hadn't had sleep in the longest time.
As I walked back to my dorm I realized it was getting late -early for humans- and decided to go to sleep. My dreams were still hazy and still suffocating, but I heard voices of people, well they weren't really people they were the dead. They spoke of a terrible tragedy that was going to happen, but the weirdest part was they seemed happy about it. That it would somehow let all of their souls move on.
I woke up shaking and breathing hard, my clothes soaked through with sweat and I looked around my room. No one was there, but my headache burned my head making it numb. I lay back down and massaged my temples, but nothing worked. I lay there for a while thinking about how I needed to find out what tragedy was going to happen that would make ghosts happy.
Finally, I got up and got dressed it was around seven o' clock at night and I wanted to get up and do something so I got ready for my day and stomped over to Christian's dorm. I walked into the dorm and straight up the stairs without a single person asking me a question. I slipped into Christian's room after picking his lock and lay down on the floor beside his bed.
I closed my eyes and counted to five hundred and fifty seven before I heard Christian yelp and jump up from his bed. "What the hell, Rose?" he yelled.
I rubbed my temples his noises were not making my headache better, "I was bored," I said simply.
"Oh, you were bored, so you decided to sneak into my room at god knows what hour?" he asked exasperated.
"Just being your guardian," I said shrugging my shoulders and walking out of the room so he could dress in privacy. I stood there watching my surroundings and thought about the last time I had seen Lissa. She had come to walk with me back to my dorm and then had disappeared. I wondered where she had gone and why she had left when Christian finally stomped out of his room, still pissed.
"Let's go," he said and walked away without waiting for me. I smothered my giggles at his cheerfulness or lack there of as I followed him down the steps.
As we walked out the door it was seven forty-five and we had time to spare so we walked slower than we normally would have. "Why did you wake up so early?" he asked.
"I don't know," I said not wanting to explain my dreams, "Headache I guess."
He nodded, believing me and that was the extent of our talking. Christian and I got along sometimes, but we still didn't fully like each other. As we walked into the classroom, I followed Christian up to Lissa.
"Liss, where'd you go yesterday?" I asked curious.
"Oh," she said looking down, "Well, just to walk around, I guess," she said. It was such a flat out lie that I stared at her shocked. I could tell that she was lying from the bond, but she was keeping it hidden about why and where she was.
I tried unsuccessfully to break through her defenses all through the morning classes. There were no attacks from guardians posing as Strigoi and by the time lunch ruled around I was in a fight with Lissa.
"Why won't you tell me?" I yelled at her exasperated.
"Because I don't want to," she said lying again.
"Lissa, I can tell when you lie," I told her and she grimaced although she already knew it, she liked to see if she could test our bond sometimes.
"It's not like I'm in danger, I just don't always need you knowing what I'm doing," she said quietly looking down at her food.
"If it's just something you don't need me to know than what if I want to know?" I asked.
"Well, I don't want you to and it's my life. Stop trying to help me with everything," she yelled. I cringed as if she had slapped me, what was she doing that was so important for her to keep a secret, I asked myself over and over for the rest of the day.
Okay well I said I would stop blabbing and let you read, but now your done so you can listen again. I hope you liked it and I wanted to thank everyone who read it even if you didn't like it. I like thinking that other people have commentary on what I write. Also another special thanks for this chapter to my friends Sara, Sophia, and Patches who support me in writing -Sara is actually an aspiring author and she.s amazing at it too- Oh and be sure to check my profile I am putting poetry up.
