Hi guys! Sorry I've been taking long I was focussing on last sacrifice and stuff...anyhow it'll be easier to update this now that I don't have two stories to work on :D thanks for the reviews!
Chapter 11
Dimitri!
"Roza!"
What the hell? The bond doesn't go two ways... but that only means-
I couldn't believe it. He burst into the room, stake in hand, in his duster and everything.
"Dimitri." I whispered, not being able to believe my eyes.
The Strigoi turned to him, and started fighting him. He threw a punch at him, but Dimitri blocked. Dimitri fighting...was wow. He was a god. a hot Russian one...
Reality came pouring down. I ignored the fight, and looked over at Eddie.
"No. No no no!" I screamed.
I crawled up to him, grabbing his hand, holding it to my heart.
"I'm so sorry." I whispered, tears streaming down my cheeks now.
It was my fault. I told him- I should've gone alone. Hell, I shouldn't have come at all. He's dead- and it was my fault.
I heard the dying scream of the Strigoi Dimitri was fighting, and saw him walk up to me. I was distinctly aware of people coming into the house. Guardians. But I couldn't care less.
I felt his arms wrap around me. "Roza, thank god you're all right."
I leaned my head against his chest, and looked up at him with watery eyes. "He's gone Dimitri." Was the last thing I said before I blacked out.
I woke up in the infirmary, to blinding lights. I felt something warm in my hand. I turned my head slightly, and saw Dimitri holding my hand. I smiled slightly.
"Hey comrade. if you don't mind me asking, what the hell am I doing here?" I asked him, confused.
He frowned. "You don't remember?"
I shook my head slightly.
"Rose, what is the last thing you remember?"
I sat up. "Um, there was the assembly, then we found out about the attack. Then..." my eyes widened.
"Oh fuck! Please tell me..." I closed my eyes. No, its not true. We didn't go, Eddie isn't...
"No. Dimitri-"
"I'm so, so sorry, Roza." He said, squeezing my hand, sadness in his eyes.
A sob broke out of me. Dimitri pulled me into a hug. I leaned against his chest. We stayed like that for a while, until my tears dried.
"Heres one reason." I said, bluntly.
"Reason for what?" he asked me.
"Reason for why you should teach me how to fight. I won't die. The people around me won't die. You're not always going to be there Dimitri. I need to know how to protect myself." I told him. It was true- next time, I might be able to protect myself.
"You know what? This is your fault! If you'd decided to teach me in the first place, everything would be fine!" I don't know why I was saying this, even though I knew none of this was his fault. But I couldn't stop. I was like something was controlling him. "You-"
"Rose." He said. He put his hand on my shoulder, and I felt the feeling leave me instantly. What the hell is going on?
He suddenly lashed out. "Have you ever thought that it's your fault Eddie died? It was your idea in the first place to go on that stupid mission-"
"What's going on here?" Lissa asked from the doorway.
Dimitri took a deep breath and realized what he was saying.
"Rose I'm so sorry I don't know what got into me." he apologised.
I shook it off. "thats weird- its why I was yelling at you before. Sorry bout that by the way..." I said.
I looked at Liss, who was staring at us, frowning.
"What?" I asked her, so lost.
"When I came into the room, you were yelling at him, and your aura was edged in black. When Dimitri touched you, the darkness went away- it sort of jumped into him. And then dimity got all mad... do you think it has something to do with-"
"The bond?" Dimitri finished for her.
"If thats the case, then Dimitri looks like whenever I'm pissed off you get pissed too. Lucky you... we all know how often ill get pissed..." I said, smiling slightly.
He sighed.
"You should talk with Lissa. I have guardian duty in a few hours anyway," he walked to the door, then turned back to look at me. "And Rose? I'll teach you."
Excitement burst into me.
I was going to learn how to fight.
