Hey guys, sorry it took so long to update, but i hit the dreaded writers block, and i couldn't figure this chapter out. It's not very good, but i hope it works. If your lucky the next chapter will be a really good surprise. You have to read and review to get it though. The last few sentences will let you know what I'm talking about. Anywho, here it is chapter 11.
I do not own va or the charectors. The awesome genius behind it is Richelle Mead. Thanks Richelle for the awesome world you created!
Chapter 11
I stared out of the small window of the airplane lost in thought. The next week or so should be a fun change of pace. With all the extra guardians that would be on site, we are all going to be on a little vacation ourselves. I was really looking forward to getting some skiing in and hopefully avoiding Rose at all cost. "Is this seat taken?" I looked up into the smiling face of Tasha. "No, please sit." I smiled; glad to have someone as wonderful as Tasha in my life. I hadn't come out and told her about Rose, but she knew and she was keeping my secret to herself. That was the kind of person she was.
"Dimka, I am so glad that you are coming on the trip. I know for sure I have at least you to have some fun with. I have a feeling that Christian isn't going to be around much."
"I believe you are right," I told her looking ahead as Christian and Lissa boarded the plane hand in hand. "Their relationship seems to have become pretty serious."
"Yes," said Tasha eying them happily. "They sure do make a cute couple, and Lissa is just perfect for him. I think she keeps him in line." I couldn't help but laugh at that. It really was true. Christian had gone from antisocial outcast to one of the most talked about guys on campus. His and Lassa's relationship had been at the top of the rumor mill for some weeks now.
Tasha and I were in the midst of our discussion when Rose walked into the plane. My heart skipped a beat and I saw her. She was so beautiful, and then she saw me. I had no idea what happened. She was shooting daggers and Tasha and I. What was that all about? She looked up and smiled at someone behind me. I had to assume it was Mason. I was pretty sure, they were taking their relationship to the next level, but I wasn't sure. It was something that I was going to have to look into. I sighed wishing I knew what was going on with her. Tasha placed her hand over mine and gave me her knowing smile. "It will get better Dimka; you just need to give it time." I smiled and sat back in my seat for the short flight.
The resort was amazing. It was built to look like a log cabin and was surround by large Pine trees. In the background I could barely make out the mountains. "It's breathtaking, isn't it?" sighed Tasha. "It is," I said smiling at her. She grabbed my hand and pulled me into the lodge. I helped her up to her room and quickly excused myself. "I need to speak with Alberta and get my schedule. Call me if you need anything." She smiled at me and kissed my cheek. "Don't worry Dimka, I will be fine."
I had to get away. I felt like I couldn't breathe. I was being smothered by all the choices I had to make. What happened to it being easy? Nothing used to be in my way of taking any opportunity that came my way. And now a seventeen year old girl was making my life seem like it was coming apart. I hated her for that, but I also knew I wanted to keep holding on. I knew we could make it through. I just had to stay strong. I was here for her no matter what.
I made it my room just before I crumbled in on myself. I was trying to catch my breath, but no matter what I couldn't get it to come to me. I really needed to hit something. I knew I couldn't leave my room in my current mood, so I settled for hitting the pillow on my bed until it bust open sending feathers flying everywhere. "Shit," I muttered to myself. "I have got to get out of here." I needed an escape.
I walked outside to get some air. Something caught my eye on the top of the slopes. "Shit, Rose what are you doing?" I thought to myself as she went flying down the mountain pulling off some pretty suicidal stunts. "She is going to kill herself," I told myself walking away. I really didn't want to see what happened next. I mean I was trying to clear my head of her so I could think rationally for the first time in months, even though I knew I would never think rationally again. Rose had grabbed hold of me tight and was not about to let go. She took all of my rationality and turned it into school boy crush mumbo jumbo that I could not figure out for the life of me. God she really as going to be the death of me!
I finally made it to the guardians' lounge, which was really just a hotel room that we made into a lounge. As I walked in a few of the guardians shot an amused look at me. "What?" I asked.
"That's quite a student you have there, Belikov," a guardian name Rimsky said.
Crap, what happened now? I thought. "What did Rose do now? She didn't hit someone again did she?" I asked.
They gave me a skeptical smile. I was just confused. "You should have seen her suicide run on the slopes not too long ago. I was sure she was going to kill herself with the stunts she was trying to pull off." I rolled my eyes. "Ashford, however, wasn't so lucky," he continued. "Shit," I muttered. "Yeah, he's not going to be back on the slopes any time soon," He said.
"If I know Ashford, he will be back at it by the morning," I informed them. Hearing enough, I decided to head back to my room. I was just not in the mood to be around anyone right now. I needed to be by myself. I was hoping that a good night sleep would help me get my head on right. I of course should know better because as soon as I fell asleep, I had another Rose dream and it was HOT!
Ha, I told you, you would want me to write the surprise chapter! All you have to do is review and i'll give you all what you are wanting! hehehe *evil laugh*
