Chapter 21

I never did fall back asleep I stayed up the rest of the night watching christmas movies. It was almost ten and the doctor came in with my release papers. I got them and changed into my jeans and my green long sleeve and put my black vest on. I sat in my room waiting for Adrian, my door opened but it was Dimitri.

"Hey, the doctor said he released you an hour ago why are you still here?"

I stared at him for a few minutes making sure my dream didn't come true. "Adrian is coming to get me."

"O okay well I won't be long I just wanted to tell you Kirova told me to tell you, you need to start training again. Plus catch up on your school work, Petrov will help you with that."

"Okay when do I start?"

"I asked the doctor and he said you can try it tomarrow if you feel okay but if not then we will start back in two days."

"Okay I'm sure I will feel better."

Dimitri nodded and turned to leave, he opened the door and I said.

"Dimitri...I...I had another dream."

He turned to me his eyes wide.

"What about Rose?"

"Y...you g..getting turned into a strigoi."

I started to cry, Dimitri came over to me and hugged me. "Roza it's okay I'm not strigoi..."

"Yet... You and I was in the cabin and they broke down the door. We were surrounded, I fought with all my power, you had such grace with your kills. But one grabbed you from behind and I fought my way to you. I staked at every opening I had, but I was too late. I did, however, stake the one who got you. You got up and I looked at you, y...yo..you was a strigoi. Red ringed eyes, fangs, cold as ice and pale white skin, you had same face features but it wasn't you. You said I was a threat to your kind and that i either needed to be turned or killed. You said you never felt so alive to be dead, I wouldn't let you get near me. I told you that I had no choice but to kill you. You said that I wouldn't kill you, You want me spend eternity with you. I told you that you love me, you was like I do? Then I tried to make my way to the door and you was behind me, then you were on my neck, I screamed, then woke up."

I had tears streaming down my face, "but before they busted down the door you said that anything every happened to you for me to forget you and go back to Adrain. I could never forget you and if that dream ever came true, I pray it don't, then I will do everything in my power to try to help you."

Dimitri studied me then before he could say anything Adrain came in.

"Rose you ready?"

"Yeah Adrain just a second."
"We can talk about it later, it won't ever happen I promise Rose." Dimitiri said before I left with Adrain.

I got up and went over to Adrain, "I'm ready now Adrain."

We walked out the doors and I turned in my release papers to the receptionist.

"What was that about?"

"I had another dream kinda like the one where I killed almost all the strigoi here on campus, but it wasn't the same."

"What happened? Rose tell me."

I thought for a minute what Adrain would say about this being about Dimitri but I had to take my chance.

"Okay Dimitri took me back to the cabin where we first had sex and he told me if anything ever happened to him for me to forget him and go back to you. Then Strigoi broke down the door and Dimitri pushed me behind him but I wouldn't let him. I stood beside him and fought, then a strigoi came up behind Dimitri and changed him. I killed the strigoi that changed him then I was face to face with striogi Dimitri. He looked the same except for ice cold and pale whit skin, fangs, and red-ringed eyes. Dimitri said I was the greatest threat among them and I went off I said that he wasn't one of them till he made a kill. I was the one he wanted to kill or change, I backed up to the door but he was super fast. He bit me, I screamed, that's when I jerked up from it."

"It won't happen Rose I know it won't, if it did Dimitri would be dead. Your the best strigoi slayer in the academy."

"Adrain I hesitated that's why he was able to bite me."

"You wouldn't hesitate in reality Rose I know you. You a badass Dhampir, and sexy too, but you would kill him without hesitation. It's in your blood to kill strigoi and if it came down to someone you love turning you wouldn't think twice until he or she was dead."

That was true but still my greatest fear is hesitation. Maybe Adrain is right, I won't think twice but yet again I might.

"I know its in my blood but what if I do Adrain I mean my life and whoever I'm protecting's life is done for."

"Rose listen to me you won't hesitate I have faith. Come on we have dinner reservations."

"Where?"

"It's a surprise Rose."

So Adrain led me to his car and we went outside the gates toward town.
