I removed my hood off of my head to get a better look at Dimitri, he hasn't changed once since I last saw him, he now looked so much better and healthier too. And might I add still scary too. My shaking stopped and my pain in my stomach was barely noticeable, but I still clutch to it so no it didn't hurt as much. Relief and happiness was settling within me, I knew Dimitri would be okay and after all these years, I never thought this would sound clitche, but I honestly thought I would never see him again.
"Dimitri, you're okay" I whispered softly, smiling at him. I then use my strength to try and stand up, but I was instantly knocked back down to the hard concrete floor. I then felt someones knee pressed on my back putting pressure on it and a hand on the side of my face holding it down, not letting me move what so ever. It felt like my skull was being crushed right now.
"So the demon speaks. So tell me how do you know Dimitri?" I heard Lee ask me through viciousness and gritted teeth. I stayed quiet as my trembling began. I was scared what he was going to do to me. And was there any need to call me a 'Demon'? Because that was a bit much for him to call me that right?
"Answer me!" He growled at me. Pressing my head further into the hard floor, crushing me and scrapping my head. I whimper in pain and I grit my teeth, I thought I could feel blood trickle down my forehead. A slow tear feel from my eye. I had no reason to answer to him if he was going to continue. At the corner of my eye I could see him get a bit annoyed and turned his attention towards Dimitri.
"Dimitri? Do you know this devil? Because she sure knows you" Dimitri didn't say anything, instead he slowly walked up towards us, still staring at me, he stopped and went down on one knee, in front of me and Lee.
"Dimitri?" Lee quietly called. Dimitri then looked away from me turned his attention to Lee, to see him give Dimitri a wide eyed, worrying stare.
"Do you know her? Have you met her before and failed to kill her?" Silence, not a word came from Dimitri's mouth, as if he had nothing to say to him. I don't blame him, Lee does seem like an annoying person, a harsh one too.
"Dimitri?" Dimitri stared over Lee's should as a womans voice called him.
"Is that who I think it is?" Her voice sounded unsure, but why? I don't recognize her from anywhere. I saw Dimitri nod his head and she gasped in surprise. What was she so surprised about? What did Dimitri tell everyone? Hell, why was he here in the- Oh wait I now know why. It was about the animals that I fed from. Jeez, I'm such a idiot to think I was being discreet about what I was doing. But hey like I said, why now and not sooner? It still confuses me.
Dimitri turned his attention towards me, looking at me with a soft but serious expression on his face. He was think about something right now, I can tell, but what? He then took in a deep breath and said something that made everyone tense and stunned.
"Lee, let her go" Lee's face was priceless, his eyes widen with shock as well as his mouth. He think blinked and exclaimed.
"What? Are you crazy? She might kill us all if I do"
"She won't, otherwise she would have done it already"
"That's because she's injured" Dimitri's expression changed a bit, he looked a bit angry when Lee admitted to running me over and it was sort of starting to scare me.
"Even if a Strogoi is injured they still have they blood lust to attack. And by the looks of it, it seems that she hasn't done that yet" Dimitri pointed out. Lee looked a bit embarrassed, like he forgot about what a Strogoi's true nature is like, some Dhampir he was. But Dimitri had a point, I would have attacked Lee at any given moment if he was distracted or something.
"And only god knows why"
"Well seeing as I have met her before, you should trust me on this. I can handle it"
"So you have seen her before and didn't kill her"
"I never said anything about killing, Lee, and it was under different circumstances, one you wouldn't understand"
"Try me, Belikov, make me understand"
"Okay then, let her go and find out yourself as to why I can handle this" And just like that, ever so slowly and yet ever so carefully, the pressure on my head and back was being loosened as he started to get off me. I could feel myself starting to breath again, my god it felt like a fat person sitting on me, not that I was saying Lee was fat, but he was well built like most Guardians were. When Lee got off of me, finally, I could feel eyes instantly trained on me, like they were waiting for me to attack so that they can go in for the kill, but I wasn't going to do that, I'm not like that and they needed to see it to believe it. I slowly started to sit up, leaning on my arm for support. I look up at Dimitri, but dare not look him in the eyes. He still looked taller then me, with me sitting on my side and him sitting one knee, of course he would be taller then me. But then again he is a full grown man.
"It's been a long time hasn't it?" Dimitri spoke, pulling me out of my haze. I gulped and slowly nodded my head, I was too scared to speak right now. I was scared because only god knew what he was going to do to me afterwards. Hell, was he going to kill me after talking to me?
"So after all these years... All of this has been you?" Again I nod my head. He gives out a small smile and gives in a soft expression on his face.
"It is okay to talk, you know. There's not need to be quiet about this" I looked away from him and took in a deep breathe and said.
"Even if I do talk, you're are going to kill me either way" I say quietly. Dimitri looked taken back on that, but he knew it was true, either way I was going to die in this situation.
"I know, but still, it doesn't hurt to talk once in a while" He said softly. I turned slightly and saw him fully smiling at me, like that was going to reassure me. But it was nice to see a friendly smile, one that was familiar. In fact it was nice to even talk to someone after being alone for a few years.
"You're still scary from when we first met" I spoke out suddenly, he gave out a small laugh, I heard others behind me snicker a bit. Hearing him laugh made me feel good all of a sudden, but it was true that he still looks scary, but in my eyes I guess he was a friendly giant, more then I imagined I guess. I felt slightly embarrassed for saying that.
"Is that why you're a bit quiet?" He laughed out. I shook my head in defense.
"No, not really" He Looked down and shook his head, laughing a bit, his laugh went when he looked back up at me, still smiling. I could feel myself start to smile but I then chewed my lips just to stop myself, a part of me wanted to laugh and have a good chat, but a part of me knew there was no point in that because it was only going to be for a sort while. His smile slowly dropped when he noticed.
"There's no reason to be scared, you know?"
I didn't say anything after that. because I know he was only saying all this to reassure me, to tell me that everything would be okay in a sense, but it's not. He didn't know how I was truly feeling right now, about what was going to happen afterwards, but a part of me felt okay about it, something about Dimitri just made me feel safe around him, even though I shouldn't because I've only met him twice now, but I did save his life and he saved mine, that's enough to convince me and himself otherwise about what we really are deep down. You never judge a book by its cover.
I Looked back up at Dimitri and I could instantly see the guilt in his eyes, I know he was feeling sorry for me right now but he shouldn't, after all it was his job to hunt and kill the Strogoi and protect those who are important, like the Moroi and his girlfriend, if them two still go out of course. If they did still go out, I'm glad that they will be happy together.
I took in a deep breath as I was prepared to speak again and as I was about to I had no time to react as I saw a ball of light, in the corner of my eye, crash into my leaning arm, sending me flying to the opposite side and sending Dimitri flying backwards as sparks flew in his face. Everyone instantly went into Guardian mode, with the woman calling Dimitri's name in horror and rushing to his aid, while Lee and the other Guardian rushed to where the ball of light came from, only to encounter two others.
I could hear ringing going on in my ear. My eyes hurt from the bright light that just burst out of nowhere, but barable. I then felt a painful, burning sensation going on on my arm and I looked down and reacted when I saw that my arm was on fire. With a panicked reaction I quickly stood up and tore off my jacket and threw it on the floor, Int front on the van, letting it burn on the ground.
I look up Dimitri to see him look like he almost passed out from the light burst, he shook his head a bit to regain himself from what had just happened. As much as I wanted to rush to his aid, I was worried that the black haired woman might push me away and burn me alive. I took one small steps towards Dimitri and stopped. Negative thoughts were starting to come into my head, what if they kill me anyway? What if running away makes me look bad? What if they find me after my disappearance and make no hesitation? What was I going to do? I had two choices right now and both of them were going to lead me to a death sentence either way, but I was going to risk one of them. I took a few short slow steps towards Dimitri and the black haired woman, as I did take those last steps a hard force, powerfully and harshly smack the back of my head, I felt myself falling, I heard my name being called and everything went black.
Next chapter will be in Dimitri's point of view.
