JAR OF HEARTS
~~*~~*~~~Chapter 20~~~*~~*~~
Rose
The darkness is overwhelming. Its like when I was knocked unconscious, vivid images flash through my head; only this time its between Dimitri and I, he doesn't love me, doesn't trust me, doesn't believe me. He is only around because his mother has forced him. The image changes and I'm on the floor soaked in blood as he rocks something and coos to it, while a female and male are in the background laughing menacingly. The image changes again and the two of us are sitting on a couch cuddling, holding something wrapped up. As the image fades out, a new image replaces it; Dimitri is stabbing me and an unspecified female is holding my child, my child with big brown eyes to match her father, and dark brown/red/black hair to match mine. As I die on the floor, Dimitri leaves and goes to kiss the women, the women who I don't recognize. As I fade into unconsciousness the images change once again, and Dimitri is chasing me as our son looks at us giggling, he wraps his arm around me and kisses me passionately. Images such as these continue to flash through my eyes.
"Rose?" I hear a sweet female voice yell.
"Kiz?" I hear my father yell.
"Rose?" lots of voices say. The voice that is daunting me, that has daunted me for four months.
"Roza?" he screams thick with his Russian accent. My body remains still as my mind listens to the voices calling for me.
A while later I hear a high pitched scream, it brings me out of unconscious and it takes a few moments for me to realize its me. My eyes open and I am met eight pairs of worried eyes, seven I recognize, and the other I don't.
The people my father rang, are exactly that, people as in humans. However, these people are different they are alchemists. Technically there is only one, Sydney; she has blonde hair and is very pretty. The thing about her appearance though, is the golden lily flower tattoo on her check, inconspicuous to the untrained eye.
I have been sitting off in the corner, thinking about everything since I blacked out. The images, torturing me. I know they are trying to tell me something, but I can't work it out. I love Dimitri but he left and I guess he will leave whenever anything gets tough. Maybe ill make it easier for all of them. I close my eyes and lean my head against the wall as Sydney undertakes her alchemist business.
I hear a door slam and then an evil cackle, I open my eyes in surprise and see them man and women from my dream, Someone very close in resemblance to Dimitri and his sisters, dark brown melt where you are standing eyes and matching brown hair; The women I don't recognize at all, she has flaming red hair and matching emerald eyes, the eyes remind me of Adrian. I can tell they are both moroi.
"Hmmm, what do we have here?" the woman says excitedly. Dimitri growls, as does my mother. I like everyone else stare at them in wonder.
"Son, why don't you introduce me?" the man says, looking pointedly at Dimitri. I gasp in horror as I realize the man standing before me is Dimitri's father. He spins around to look at me, but Dimitri intercepts him.
"That's not very nice son," his father seethes, the woman laughs hysterically and spins to look at my mother.
"Yeah Aunt Janie, why don't you introduce your favourite niece." The red headed women says, still laughing. Wait I have a cousin? I thought my mother was an only child? I have family?
My mother growls and goes to attack, but my father holds her back.
"Well if you wont, ill just have to do it myself." The woman says, the laughing ceasing.
"My name is Eloise Hathaway, my father and your mother are related*," she says staring at me. "And this is Grigorii Dashkov**, Dimitri's father, but you know that already don't you Rose?" She says hysterically, I really want to punch he women, family or not. I stand up and shuffle past the barricade of Dimitri and my mother.
"What do you want?" I ask calmly. Hoping to prevent anything bad from happening; knowing my luck however I know this will not be the case. The both look at me in wonder.
"Why cousin, I want you." The woman, Eloise says before she attacks. I am knocked to the floor and a fully-fledged fight begins. Grigorii attacks Dimitri and he attacks back, the other moroi get involved. I watch as everyone fights, bar Christian who is protecting Lissa and Adrian, though no one seems to be going to them anyway.
I turn my concentration back to Eloise and I am able to get in a few good punches and kicks, luckily she is only moroi and is adapt at fighting a guardian, so she tires eventually. I punch her one last time in the jaw and she crashes to the ground with a resounding thud. Everyone stops and looks at the two of us.
"Noooooo!" Grigorii yells, running to the girl on the floor. I kick her one last time and get my advantage on Grigorii, but just as I am about to attack him he turns around slaps me, hard. I fly though the air and land on a pile of cardboard boxes, still falling to the ground. Panic over takes me for my child. I try to move, but everything hurts. Slowly I am able to move my hand to my belly, but I feel nothing. The flutter I felt just hours ago, is gone and I feel the warm tears fall silently down my cheek. What have I done? Have I just killed my baby?
Dimitri
I watch as Rose flies through the air and then as she lands, a loud crack resonating through the room. Everyone runs to her side, leaving the asshole to me. As he tends over the flaming red headed women, I see similarities between her and Rose, not much, but its still there. As the man who looks so much like me, tends to this women I pounce on him unsuspectingly and he collapses under my weight. I don't kill him, I wish I could. I tried when I was thirteen and I would have been successful if it was not for Abe Mazur, then again I wouldn't have meet my Roza, because killing a Royal Moroi is a criminal offence, even if it is self defence. I only wish I had killed him then. I find some rope and tie his arms behind his back. I finish my kicking him in the stomach and tying him to a pole, I'm pretty sure his element is fire, so I hope this will stop him from burning through the rope. Then I run to my Roza, but she is not moving. Her eyes are closed, but I see the tears run down her face as she holds her swollen abdomen tenderly. Oh crap the baby!
