Through the Eyes of Darkness
Chapter 12
Dimitri sighed as he tossed his baseball up into the air to catch it. It had been hectic these past few days with the attacks. Strogoi were lying low which meant that Galina's entourage was on lockdown. Though some of the guys didn't care and went out anyway. Which is how Dimitri got the news of his afterlife.
Dimitri was passing Galina's office when he noticed her open door and her raising voice. Dimitri knocked on the door and opened it as he took in the sight of Marlen and Galina. Marlen had scratches and blood on his neck, which meant he had defined Galina's office. This was not a good thing to walk in on.
"You!" Marlen said with rage filled eyes on Dimitri. "This is your fault!"
Dimitri scoffed. "What are you talking about? It's not my fault that you defined Galina's orders and got your ass kicked. You're just lucky that you're dumbass isn't dead."
"At least I know whose under the attacks now."
"Yea who?"
"You know her actually or at least I think you do seeing as how she let me go so I could give you a message."
Dimitri's heart skipped a beat. This couldn't be. It couldn't be her.
"Does the name Rose Hathaway ring a bell?"
Dammit. Stupid. Stupid Rose. Why would she put her life at risk like this? He wasn't worth it anymore.
Galina looked at him as if she wanted the answer to this question too.
"Yes. We were lovers before I turned. She probably has some stupid notion that i'm still the man she loves."
"Good, then it shouldn't be difficult to kill her."
"Excuse me."
"I want her dead. She's standing in my way and I don't like setbacks. Take care of her. I don't care how you do it. Shit. You can even get a little extra action before you kill her since I know it's been a while."
Dimitri sighed. He didn't want to kill Rose. Perhaps he could reason with her to go before he had to.
"I'll take care of it."
"You better or else you won't like the outcome."
Dimitri turned around and rolled his eyes as he went to go see the love of his life.
