Adrian POV:
After Rose fell asleep I just lay next to her for a while, staring up at the ceiling and thinking. I didn't like people who hurt Rose and Tasha was slowly pushing herself into that category.
Which meant that I had to do something about it.
Very slowly I got out of bed, careful not to wake up Rose. Once I was satisfied that she was still sound asleep I made my way to the door and stopped there.
Okay Adrian now what?
Now what indeed. If I was going to do something I needed a plan. There were many ideas that I had to get back at Tasha but only one of those seemed fit for this. So turning around I made my way around the room, collecting what I needed.
Then using my awesome ninja skills I crept out of the room, across the hallway and towards Tasha and Dimitri's room, stopping once again one I was in front of it.
"Deep breaths Adrian. Remember, this is for Rose." I told myself, breathing in and out slowly.
I would hate to know what would happen if Dimitri was awake when I did this. If so it would not be pretty for me, I really wanted to keep all of my limbs so before going in I put my ear against the door to check if there was any movement. When I was certain there wasn't I took one last deep breath and opened the door to their room, stepping inside.
I woke up to the horrible sounds of Tasha screaming and was about to yell shut up when I remembered the cause of this sound.
She had seen her hair then.
I jumped out of bed with lightning speed, the movement causing Rose to stir and sit up next to me, rubbing her eyes and frowning in annoyance.
"Why are you so happy at a time like this?" she groaned, once she saw the huge smile that I just couldn't keep off my face.
"You really want to get up and see this."
Her frown got deeper. "Why do I want to see-"she was cut off by another scream, this one sounding much more manly then the first.
"Was that Dimitri?" she demanded, sitting up straighter. "What did you do to him Adrian?" The fact that she was concerned about him made my blood boil, he didn't deserve any of it. But thinking about what he was screaming about made me laugh again.
"I didn't do anything to him, I'm not that stupid. No, I just experimented my hairdressing skills-"I paused for a dramatic effect. "-on Tasha."
Rose stared at me for a moment, probably checking if I was serious before bursting out in laughter. The sound made my mood soar up so high I felt like I was getting drunk, which for me is a very good feeling.
"Come on!" she jumped out of the bed and ran to the door; though when realising that I wasn't moving she stopped and just looked at me.
"Are you coming or not?"
I just stared at her, or more specifically at what she was wearing. Or not wearing, which was lots. She only had on a large t-shirt that looked oddly like one of mine, it only went down to mid thigh and made her hair look even more brown and beautiful-despite the fact that it was in a tangled mess on top of her head.
When rose noticed my staring she looked down at what she was wearing and then back at me. "You like?"
I had several things that I would have loved to say but the words just got caught in my throat so I settled for simply nodding my head.
She smiled. "Good, now let's go!"
"In that?" I asked, raising one of my eyebrows because I knew she hated that she couldn't do that.
"Yes in this, I thought you said that you wanted me to see your hairdressing skill-which is kind of hard if we stay in here."
I nodded again, that seemed to be becoming my favourite thing to do, and together we walked slowly out towards Tasha's room where everyone else was already crowded around the door waiting for Dimitri or Tasha to answer.
"Hey Tasha, I heard a scream. Is everything okay in there?" Christian asked with a worried look on his face.
"No! I'm...I'm hideous!" Tasha's muffled voice screamed at him. "Don't come in!"
Rose started to giggle, luckily no one else heard because Lissa was talking now.
"What about you Dimitri? I heard you scream as well, is something wrong? Please let us in!" Lissa was starting to sound really worried and I saw Rose glance at her with an equally worried look on her face.
"I'm okay! There's just been a slight...problem with Tasha's hair." If I didn't know better I would say that he was trying hard not to laugh. He found this funny?
I looked down at Rose to see her wearing the same confused expression I felt on my face, so it wasn't just me who noticed that he found this amusing.
"What kind of problem?" Christian was so much calmer now, his stance had relaxed and now he sounded like he wanted to laugh at the fact that we were all worried over her hair.
Wait until he sees it.
"A problem- problem and I think I know exactly who did it!" Tasha screamed. Oh no. Did she know it was me who did it? Or worse, did she think it was Rose?
"Who do you think did it?" Mason asked sounded much more amused at this situation then Tasha did.
"Well as you all know-"She spat out. Uh oh. Not good. "-there's only one bloodwhore in this house at the moment."
She didn't.
I felt my mouth pop open in shock, Tasha did not just call Rose that. Looking around at everyone else I saw the same horrified expressions on their faces as one mine, apart from Rose who just glared at the door like she could collapse it with her eyes alone.
Lissa opened her mouth but was cut off when a very distinctive thwack sound came from in their room, followed by a scream of pain.
"Ow! Dimitri what the hell is wrong with you!" Tasha yelled, sounding like she was eating-or like someone (*cough cough* Dimitri) had punched her in the mouth.
"No Tasha what is wrong with you!" He screamed back even louder and I watched as everyone took a step away from the door, Rose included. Dimitri was scary as when he yelled, and we couldn't even see his face, only hear his voice.
"There's nothing wrong with me, only something wrong her!" There was no question on which her she meant and Lissa looked at Rose with a worried expression.
"What did you do?" She whisper-yelled at her.
"Nothing." Rose mouthed back.
"What did she do!" Dimitri's yelled.
"THIS!" No one could see but I knew she was gesturing to her head as she said it.
"REALLY?" Oh no. Dimitri's voice got even louder and closer sounding and we could hear loud footsteps as he walked to the door making everyone take another step backwards.
"ROSEMARIE HATHAWAY!"
Everyone took another step apart from Rose, who stood there with a determined look on her face as she waited for Dimitri to get out here. She was so brave. I went to take a step forwards to stand next to her but she shook her head at me furiously.
"No, stay back."
I went to argue but just then Dimitri burst through the door, it swung shut behind him so no one could see Tasha's new look just yet. He walked with slow and scary steps until he was standing directly in front of Rose.
"Did you do it?" he asked her in a much softer voice, seeming to have calmed down just by looking at her, she had that effect on people.
I thought for a moment that Rose would give me away but she was smart by acting dumb. "Do what comrade?" As soon as that last word slipped out she gave a little squeak of horror that matched the way I felt. So now that he had acted all heroic by defending her honour they were all good again? It made me want to be sick.
Though it looked like it had the opposite effect on Dimitri because there was a small smile appearing on his lips as he looked into her eyes to make sure she was telling the truth. Because that is all that he is looking into her eyes for, he doesn't in the slightest want her back, he can't.
Besides Rose would never take him back, ever. She's just looking hypnotized from his eyes because she's relieved that she didn't get caught, right? Right?
Now you sound desperate in your own head.
Great, that voice in my head was back. It didn't sound like my voice, though it was strangely familiar to me. Like I had heard it before.
"You really don't know?" Dimitri asked, leaning in closer and smirking a little. Just so that he could see if she was telling the truth, not because people lean in when they're going to kiss. Because Rose and Dimitri are not going to kiss.
"No, what did I do?" Rose asked in such an innocent voice that even I almost believed that she had no idea what had happened to Tasha.
"What did happen to Tasha?" Lissa asked. Oh my god, she did that mind reading thing again- I thought that had stopped.
"This happened to Tasha." Tasha's voice said.
And then she stepped out into the hallway.
