Thanks to all those who reviews and a major thanks to my beta Alleena, always there to correct my mistakes.
Not much feedback on the last chapter, hopefully this one makes up for it. Next chapter I'll give you all a Dimitri's POV and maybe a Lissa's POV but I have to hear from you guys, let me know if wheter you like or hate.
Well now enjoy!
Oksana looked ready to take on an army, if that's what she wants it.
"Are you sure?" I hesitated, I'm not sure why but I didn't want to get my hopes up if this didn't work.
"There's nothing I wouldn't do for our beloved Belikov's" Oksana replied back, a wide smile displaying on her beautiful face.
She then came and stood in front of me, explaining what I had to do. Which was: I had to get in Lissa's head and she would talk to her from my head, telling her that she had to get to someone safe like Alberta or the headmistress, Kirova. Okay, it wasn't really a plan but that's all we had. None of us knew what would come out when we did this, not even if it'll work, nonetheless we had to give it a try.
Another one of her worries was about the baby; she wanted to make sure that this would not cause my child pain or anything. That was the only thing trying to hold me back, my baby. I was barely two months old and I was already in love with my little kid growing inside of me. All this time we had spend here and before I had found out I was pregnant, I had no time to go the doctor and I know that was part on what Dimitri was worry about.
Olena, had help me set up an appointment with a doctor in St. Petersburg but how things were going right now, I've no idea if that's going to be possible.
Oksana opened her arms and took my hands in hers. And then I let myself get lost in Lissa's head.
Shewas in her room, laying down in her bed. I didn't need to look around, to see that Avery was around somewhere, because I could read it from Lissa's head. But the other familiar face did catch me by surprise. Tasha.
She was sitting in a love seat that Lissa had by her bed. She look horrible, her icy blue eyes were bloodshot, like she had been crying all day. Also big bags were under her eyes, like she hadn't sleep for days. Her black raven hair, no doubt already ugly, had turned worse. The women I once saw as strong and independent was losing herself.
I could feel that Lissa was scared; she didn't know what Tasha had to do with this. After everything that had happen here in Russia she thought Tasha would get over it and be back to her confident self, well she was way off.
Avery then came into view as she stared into Lissa, I didn't know what was taking Oksana so long to communicate with her.
Damn it, my inner thoughts were.
Who's there? Were the words coming out of Lissa's head into mine? No way, was this really happening? Or was I imagining this? Surely my mind was playing a trick on me.
Lissa can you hear me? It's me Rose. From outside her eyes I could see Avery staring between Tasha and Lissa. The glare she was giving then was full of malice. However, Lissa wasn't worried about her. She had truly heard me and her head was jumping up in happiness.
Look Liss, I don't have much time but you have to get out. Find Alberta or someone that you can trust and don't leave their side, I'll be there as soon as I can.
I didn't know how much time I had until Avery noticed, I knew by fact that spirit users could feel if the other was using their power but I'm not sure if this really classify as using her power. I mean she wasn't healing or nothing that requires her using spirit but Oksana was.
Oh Rose I'm so sorry for what I did ple-
I cut her off before she started rambling about all the shit that had happen when she left.
Look there's no time for apologies; you have to get out to someone safe. Go with Eddie, and then find Alberta.
Eddie had left with her on her trip back, after all she was a Moroi and we couldn't let her leave alone. So we, and by we I mean Dimitri, got him to back with her.
I can't, Avery won't let me get out of her sight. I'm scared Rose, I've never been left all alone like this.
I couldn't see her face but I knew she meant those words, she couldn't lie to herself in her head, and not even she was that good.
Oh god, I'm sorry for not being there to protect you Liss. I just... You know just hold on there girl I won't le-
My words were cut off when I was sent into a dream-a-like vision.
I was standing in front of a big house. So big that it seemed like something own by a Royal.
To my left was Dimitri, wearing jeans and a t-shirt that tightly clung to his body. He looked so good.
To my right was a little boy I didn't recognize. He looked something like Paul, Karolina's son, but at the same time different. He was also younger, about 2 or 3 years old.
I then put my attention back into the house. It looked like it was made out of wood, it was so shiny though. The house looked more like a Mansion-Cabin. It was truly beautiful; it had a window in every room. Which it seem to have at least 5 in each of the floors. It was a two story house. Then there was a big glass door that seems to lead to the kitchen.
Before I could catch the other details of the house, the little boy pulled my hand.
"Mommy, are we buying this one? I really like it" he said speaking perfect English, he sounded older than he looked.
But before I could tell him anything about me not being his mom and about what the hell he was talking about, Dimitri grabbed my other hand.
"What do you think Roza? You want this one?" he asked.
I was truly lost here.
First off, what the hell was this?
Second, where the hell am I?
Third, who's this little kid? And why is he calling me "mommy".
"What...what are we doing here?" I began "And who is he?" I pointed to the little kid to my side.
Dimitri seemed lost at words and the little kid stared at me with his gorgeous chocolate warm eyes, exactly like Dimitri's, staring tearing up.
"You don't remember me mommy?" he asked
"What happen Roza? How could you forget your own son" he didn't sound exactly mad but I knew he was close to.
I can't forget my own son because I don't have one, I wanted to say but the words never came out of my mouth. I stared at the little boy and at Dimitri. They looked so much alike and when Dimitri stared at him, his eyes shone the way that it happen when he looked at me.
I was tired of this, of whoever was messing with my mind. This wasn't real. I didn't have a son and I certainly wasn't house shopping. But at the same time I didn't want to leave, I wanted to stay here and live in this beautiful house with Dimitri and the little kid, the image I was given was beautiful. Something too beautiful to be true.
Someone, I don't know who, was playing a trick on me.
That someone didn't sound too mysterious when I began to think back at what I was doing. I was supposed to be helping Lissa, not this. I had to get out of this dream land, but what if...what if this was real? I was pregnant and I could've a boy, what if this was truly the future? What if Avery was really showing the future, instead of an illusion.
No, not time to worry about what will happen in the future, though. And I knew this was fake, she was playing with my mind. With the things I wanted the most. I had to get back to Lissa's mind and help her. She needed me.
With all my force in mind, I tried to go back but I couldn't. I was fighting a lost ba-.
I was back into Lissa's head with a force that had came out of nowhere.
Avery's face was full of sweat as she kept fighting the illusions, more like nightmares, that Lissa was sending at her full force.
I felt Lissa's feelings full of rage towards her. This last couple of days Avery had been torturing her and keeping her as her slave making Lissa do whatever she wanted. She had made her hate her like no one else had, not even Viktor had tortured her that much.
However, I didn't care how much she hated her. The darkness was consuming her and she had to stop, or else something worse would happen.
Lissa, STOP. You can't keep this up, you have to be stronger. Now this is your chance, get out go with Eddie and Alberta, I'll be there as soon as I can.
Those words seem to bring her back. She started apologising for giving in to the darkness again but I told her I wouldn't hear it and that she had to go somewhere safe.
And with that I came back to my own body.
As soon as I was back, Mark was by Oksana side helping her get back to the couch and laying her down.
This really worry me, I bet she'd used almost all her strength to make that happen. I mean, Lissa could hear me, how couldn't that take much spirit?
Exhaustion took over my body over a matter of minutes that I was about to collapsed to the floor, luckily Dimitri was fast and caught hold of me. Worry and tiredness was clearly showing in his face. Right now he looked older that I've seen him; maybe this was just too much for him. I knew that it was too much for me. I had to worry about my baby on the way and now I had to help Lissa from a crazy bitch.
We went home after that, Dimitri wanted me to go rest home and made plans so we could go back to Montana. And Mark had made Oksana go to bed so she would heal. Mary, being the bitch she was, went home with us. On the way there, though, she wouldn't shut the hell up.
Dimitri this, Dimitri that. Was all that I heard come out of her mouth. She was more annoying than myself, and coming from me, that was pretty damn annoying. I was behind them, but only so I'd see her. Dimitri, however, wasn't happy with my decision so he kept sending me back glances, he knew me too much to think I would stay back without doing or planning nothing. Of course exhaustion still was in my system but Lissa's darkness had sparked something inside me. I hadn't meant to take out her darkness because of my baby but I had done it when I'd come back to my own body, without noticing it.
I was trying pretty damn hard not to go off on her. My crazy hormones weren't helping and neither was her feeling all over Dimitri.
There's a limit over what a female can do to your man. It doesn't matter if you're not the jealous kind. You've to take matter into your hands and make that whore understand that you won't let that happen in your face.
All this morning I'd been trying not to do anything to her for Dimitri's sake, I know he would end up disappointed if I did something to her. Nonetheless, she was going over the limit.
And hey I'm not perfect, I might only be half human but that doesn't mean I have the ability to be perfect.
Thus, when Mary tried to make it seem like an "accident" when she passed her hand through his manhood was when my resistance broke. A punch was enough to satisfy my needs, so that's what I went for.
I grabbed her wrists and put them behind her back. There was only a squeak coming out of her mouth, not even a scream. I wasn't exactly going for her eye but she moved so that where my punch landed. A hard one, that it not only caused her eye to shed some tears but left my hand stung by it. I knew that, that was the farthest I could take it. If I would went off on her the darkness would've consumed my whole body and I was not about to let that happen. Or risk my baby to the dangers of Lissa's darkness.
She did nothing but stared at me with a deathly glare, but in her eyes I saw fear. She knew that the punch was nothing compare to what I could truly do to her. She was terrified.
However, there was this certain Russian god, that it's not afraid of me and hates it when I give up to weakness. And that happen to be Dimitri. His face already filled with so much emotions exploded.
It was like a fucking volcano.
His handsome face broke into a furious face, his eyes piercing straight into me. But that wasn't the worst part; it was the way that he talked to me.
"Damn it Rose, you can never stay down. You're like a child, a child that can't come down. When I tell you not to do things, it's like I'm telling you to do it. When are you going to grow up?" His words hurt, and they hit that spot that no one was able to hit. I know it was childish of me to give into her games, but she brought it on her, but I wasn't about to tell Dimitri that. If he would've been in my place, he'd done the same thing as me. This was not just about jealousy; this was about her power towards Dimitri.
Mary was Dimitri's ex and she wanted to show me how she still controls him. Females tend to play such bitchy games, mostly when they want their male back. And that's what Mary wants: to have Dimitri back at her side. She went over the limit and Dimitri should've understood that and not yell at me. I knew this time I had done nothing wrong but protect was mine.
I didn't mean it like Dimitri was my possession, because he was not. He was able to make his own choices but when a female messes physically with him, then that's when I had to show my claws.
Nevertheless, he would never understand that so I did what he taught me the most. To do the only thing that's left when there's no other solution. I ran.
I didn't stop and neither did I look back.
I had no idea where the hell I was going, I was just running straight, the way we had come. I'm sure that I'll see the Belikov's house if I were to pass it.
Tears sprung from my eyes.
I was tired of Dimitri always seeing me as a child. Yes, I acted immature a lot. But this was why we were meant to be with each other. He was always there to correct me and complete me, not put me down like my mother and everyone else.
However, that's what he is doing now. Making feel like a child. Making me wonder if that's how it'll be from now on. Was this how Dimitri would be from now on? Yes, I got pregnant but that didn't mean, in any ways, that I was just going to wake up and be all mature. I was still a teenager and even if he had a hard time dealing with me, he knew what he had gotten into.
That's why I had chosen Dimitri to be with. He would try to change me and no matter what, he never gave up. He had showed me that he could deal with me at my worst, that even if I was a teenager I could be mature. So what was this "child" I was being?
I never heard the footsteps that I was expecting. I try to make my mind calm down by saying he would come running to me and apologize but that never happen.
You're pathetic, waiting on him when it's your entire fault. He's right when are you going to finally grow up? That little voice inside my head said. I ignore it and kept on running, knowing fully that I had done nothing wrong but be myself.
The house came up a couple of minutes later. But I never had the chance to get to it.
An all dressed in black figure came into view, followed by a dozen more.
Fear clawed into my skin. Not fear for me but for my baby.
I took my fighting stand.
Ready to take on all of them, if I had to.
They did nothing but circle me, like a bunch of lions waiting to attack their prey.
I was so concentrated in all of them, that I never notice when a old Moroi came from behind me.
Until I felt a hard punch on the back of my head, giving my vision black spots. But before I was fully out I did catch the face of my attacker. Viktor.
