Chapter 14

LISSA POV

I smiled as Rose helped me sort out my outfit for the party tonight. It was good to see her recovering so well, even though she would never be the same again.

"How did you sleep last night Rose?" I asked her. She smiled, I noticed she looked nervous.

Finally she replied, "I slept fine...after my nightmare I went to Dimitri's room."

She looked at me, trying to gauge my reaction, I smiled, I wanted her to know I was happy she was with Dimitri. I didn't find it weird at all; I just wished they didn't have to keep things secret. Seemingly relieved Rose smiled again and soon I was dressed. I had to admit, I really liked her choice; an azure blue strapless dress that reached down to mid thigh with a bubble skirt. It had a sweetheart neckline and a black band wrapped just below the bust. With the dress I wore 5 inch azure blue heels and my gold bracelet with my family crest on it.

"Perfect." Rose declared; I nodded in agreement.

Finally Rose and I parted; I had a feeling she would be with Dimitri again tonight. I headed off to the party. Outside the dorm where it was to take place I saw Christian. He was looking gloomy again; I figured some people were giving him trouble again. However he brightened up when he saw me. I smiled and as soon as I was in range I kissed him. Still smiling we parted and headed inside.

Once inside we mingled with the crowd; I looked around, seeing if anyone familiar was at this party. The only person who initially stood out was Mia, clad in a dark blue strapless dress that ended just above mid-thigh with ruffled edges and blue hi-heels; her hair was not curled now. Instead it was slightly wavy and held back with a blue butterfly hair comb. She seemed distracted; in fact she walked right past me without a single insult or snide comment. Finally Christian and I stopped and leaned against the wall. We watched the party for a while before Christian left to get us drinks. While he was gone a feeling of dread came over me. I was worried about Rose, what was her mental state just now, was she safe with Dimitri? Or was she alone with nothing but her thoughts and worries gnawing away at her? Worse still, I was suddenly overcome with a fear; the boy who had raped Rose was at the last party, all I knew was he was caught. What if his friends were here and looking for someone else? Just then I heard a voice and jumped.

"Hey Lissa." He then laughed, "Jumpy?"
It was Aaron; I sighed and shook my head.

"Aaron."

He smiled and then spoke, his tone suggestive; "So, finally got Ozera off your arm."

I was about to warn him off when he continued.

"Seriously Lissa, don't you remember how happy we were. Let's go back to that, you'll be much happier than with Ozera."

"Aaron." I snapped. "Shut up, I'm with Christian now, I've never been happier. Now just leave me alone."

Aaron sighed and turned and stalked away just as Christian returned.

CHRISTIAN POV

I saw Aaron Drozdov walking away from Lissa before seeing the angry look on her face. I stopped next to Lissa.

"What was that about?" I asked.

She turned and sighed. "Trash talking you again, trying to get me to go back to him, I told him to back off."

I sighed and handed Lissa her drink, she took it. We were silent for a while and then finally I decided to ask what was bothering me.

"What's on your mind Lissa, you look worried?"

She sighed and finally admitted, "I'm worried, what if the friends of the boy who raped Rose is here, what if they're gonna do the same?"

I held her tightly and kissed her forehead.

"It's okay; I won't let anyone hurt you."

She seemed reassured but she was still tense. Suddenly, over the music and yelling I heard a scream. It sounded fearful and I knew someone was in trouble. Lissa looked worried.

"Stay here." I told her before I headed in the direction of the scream, I was aware Lissa was right behind me.

We found one of the bedroom doors ajar; I opened it and was shocked by what we saw. Mia was lying on the bed, her hands tied by a silk tie, another silk tie shoved in her mouth. Her dress had been ripped off and she was clad only in lacy blue panties and a blue strapless bra. Lying on top of her, getting ready to remove her undergarments was Aaron Drozdov.

I immediately ran forwards and grabbed Drozdov.

"What the hell!?" He bellowed.

I pulled him off Mia and pinned him against the wall. I glanced back, Lissa had hurried over to Mia, she looked up.

"I already called for a Guardian to come." She told me before turning back to Mia, comforting her. Soon Guardian Belikov arrived with several others. They took Aaron into custody. The party dispersed and Lissa and I escorted Mia to her room. She quickly got dressed and turned back to us.

"I...Lissa I..." She began.

It was clear what she wanted to say, despite her harsh treatment of Lissa, Lissa still comforted her after the attack. Lissa smiled and hugged her.

"It's okay Mia, you're okay now." Lissa reassured her.

They pulled back, Mia was trembling, I noticed she seemed nervous, finally she spoke.

"I...I heard about...the last party, Rose was raped, wasn't she." We nodded in confirmation, "Now...Aaron tried to rape me..."

Suddenly Mia stood up.

"Where are you going?" I asked her.

She turned back and sighed, "I'm going to see Rose."

With that she left the room.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
