I'm updating twice now because these are short story things. Whoo! I'm out for break. However, tomorrow I will be baking cookies, which is WHOO too! Enjoy.
Dear Dimitri,
I know you're mad at me but please don't ignore me. I'm not promising to take her back or anything. But, what's wrong? How can I help? There has to be something wrong. Come on! I know you think I screwed up. But please, Lissa is the only one I can talk to besides you. Our bond is way too revealing, too. I know you don't quite understand it, but I'd like to talk to someone I can't read the thoughts of.
From Rose
Dear Rose,
I regret to inform you that while I was contemplating your rash decision, my charge was attacked with his other guardian. The other guardian was not quick enough to save my charge. I am sorry for ignoring you. It's just… been a really heavy load. I feel like I have no purpose. We've been raised to protect these people. Now my charge for so many years is… gone. I will continue to email you. We can help each other. I will try my best to understand the bond. You've explained it so many times but… it's so confusing, and… enthralling. I am sorry if I do not reply quickly for a while. I must aid in planning the burial.
From Dimitri
Dear Dimitri,
Your last letter was… horrible. I am so sorry. If you had been there, you could have saved him. It was my entire fault, you took the day off, because of my stupid decision. I'm so sorry. I will refrain from emailing you. I'm so sorry. Really. You may not believe it but, I am. I can't believe I caused him to die…
From Rose
Dear Rose,
It isn't your fault. You couldn't have seen that. I couldn't have saved him. It was a strigoi. I will keep emailing you. I miss you.
From Dimitri
Dear Dimitri,
No. That's not true. You've killed six already. You could have gotten that one too. I can't believe this is entirely my fault. Plus, you're the most badass guardian. I may be on the run, but I hear things. I'm sorry that you will have to email me and only think of what I did. I'm so sorry. I will cause you pain, but I will try to help you.
From Rose
