ROSE
Its been a week since I returned to the academy, me and Dimitri had been staying together in his room since we had to be together. I returned to class 4 days ago wearing contacts so as to not tip off the entire school that I was a half strigoi. they still checked me every other day to see if I was changing, or getting stronger, or if other me was taking over. she stayed quiet most the time but came out when I was with Dimitri or hungry, which she never seemed to be fully satisfied with what she got but when away since she was full. lately I had been seeing some one, it was always either at dusk or right before the dawn. they had always darted in the corner of my eyes, not like ghosts, but sometimes I would stare at them and the a second later they ran off.
Dimitri was sleeping and I saw them again, this time i decided to pull on some pants and chase after them. I hoped out the window and ran at them, they turned and ran. i followed for about a minute, they were really fast but every time i lost them they would appere farther ahead stopped waiting for me to catch up and lose them again. the wind was at my back so I couldn't catch a scent, when i got to the place he had last dissapered from i saw an opening in the trees. I slowed, hesitant, i walked tho and saw 4 strigoi on one knee almost bowing to me and a 5th laying dead in front of them.
"an offering, this might be able to quench your thirst properly" one said. i stood horrified as i realized what he was talking about, they wanted me to feed from him. i took a step back to run away, but the wind suddenly changed and the smell of the body was floating towards me, i froze it almost smelled... good. no. no! no way! i need to get out of hear, but i couldn't move felt dizzy and kinda light like i was floating away. my body began to move towards the body without my consent, it was fine tho I, i just wanted to get a better view, see what that smell was...
i woke the next morning, it was Tuesday, Dimitri was in the shower, and I laid there looking to the ceiling thinking about my dream from last night. I had the strangest dream last night, i was chasing someone then I was in a clearing drinking heavily from some dead strigoi, then I moved on to kill every single one there. I heard the shower stop and a got out of bed, i froze. i had pants on, the one i had on yesterday, maybe i fell asleep in them... no because be and Dimitri were getting really hot and really heavy last night. did i really leave? no way. I would have known if I left or if I feed from a bunch of strigoi last night, besides i don't even drink that much blood. I probably just woke up to get some water and just put them on without even thinking and went back to bed. satisfied with the awnser i got ready, it was early. and there was quite awhile before school even started, but i had to meet with the guardians and the doctor so they could do stuff. i didnt really mind it was really easy most the time. and i really enjoyed the look of fear on some of their faces (Stan) when my power went haywire and blew something up or lashed out elsewhere. my favorite doctor, as well as the only one, checked me over before the guardians took me to the field out back. i had to run around it twice as fast as i could, it was a smallish field no were near the size of the walking track we all normally use. i made it around the first lap in 30seconds but halfway tho the second lap I swore I saw some red eyes looking at me. i felt the other me slightly take over and stop, while interest and hopefulness took over for a second. i took back over and looked to see what caught our attention.
"rose! rose, you have to keep running. come back and restart" Alberta yelled. i glanced at her for a brief second and turned back to what was in the woods, but there was nothing. I finished my trainings and went off to school.
that day at lunch i sat with my usual friends, they all knew what i was. lissa ,finally, took a long enough break from Christian to actually start a conversation.
"so lissa its been awhile since you emerged, a lot of things have changed since then, how do you like it?" i said messing with her.
"shut up fang girl" crishtain said. i glared at him
"any way..." Lissa said getting between us "hows things between you and Dimitri rose?" she asked
"better than there are with you and Christian, trust me i know" i Half laughed, the others joined in. the strange dreams continued all week, except there was the one i followed and only one other strigoi less dead than the night before. wends-day he still had some life left and thursday he was badly injured and by friday he was walking around with just no eyes. it was always a different strigoi since i killed each one each night, at least that's what i figured happened because i blacked out right as i was going to bite him each night. i would have ignored or fogtton them if each day i woke up with some thing on or signs that i left. i didn't know what to think of it, i woke up with pants on, then a full outfit, after that i woke with flip flops on, and by wends-day there was even a little mud on the window ceil and my slightly dirty flip-flops by the window. on the next thursday i decided that after i began to lay out clothes for myself for the night, i was going to find a way to put a stop to this. that night as i followed the man through the woods i tried to be aware of my awareness, was i really awake and were i was. i got the the clearing and there were 5 strigoi, including the one i followed. i had never seen him up close before he had sort of longish hair about 2 inches from his shoulder, and broad shoulders. he was extremely pale for a strigoi and had eyes so red the could have glowed.
"my queen" he bowed and the others followed his lead. what?!
"what?!" was all i could say before my snarky attitude returned "i don't know what the hell you want but you better scram before I get angry." I said
"no of course not. we only want your absolute happieness my queen." they said still bowing "but a horrible mistake has been made. the people who greeted you into your new life as queen were corrupt and very wrong, especially how they treated you my queen. we are your servants to do whatever you need and to watch over and protect you." i was absolutely stunned. what do they mean servants
"what the hell are you talking about?... nevermind serve me now and leave forever." I said
"im sorry my queen but we must never leave you its our duty to ensure your happiness."
"no stop calling me that, and ill never join your side!" i said backing away
"no please!" they shouted "don't run. you don't need to join our side. that's not what we were asking of you. we want to help you."
"I don't need your help." i said
"those damphires and moroi will never be able to teach you control of your power. its small and weak right now because you were half turned to early. and those fools didn't know what they were truly getting when they attempted to turn you."
"and what could you possibly do..."
"we could help you re-learn them, some of us were there when you learned your power the first time, in your last life."
"humpf. and you expect me to belive i trusted you?" i said crossing my arms over my chest
"of course not. and you didn't entirely. its one of the reasons whyyou took your life, the power was growing worse. but you could trust us to do whatever you needed as fast as possible. and you allowed us to help you train your powers, so that they didn't hurt you.
"hurt me?"
"yes you have amazing powers, but the shadows are not always good, they almost feed from you when your not careful."
"what do you mean feed? what are you talking about?!" i said exasperated
" im sorry but if yo want us to tell you more just call. im And'drex, or you can call Leon or Angeline." he said as strigoi stepped forward. then they all disappeared. i groaned and started walking back. about half way there i felt Dimitri wake up. he called out for me a few times before coming into my head.
"Roza. what are you doing out side love? are you ok you seem... agitated" he was worried, it was sweet of him but i didn't want to put him in any danger, so i kept quiet.
"its nothing love i just couldn't sleep and you were so peaceful looking that i couldnt wake you." i said back. he seemed to belive it but waited for me to return and i fell asleep in his arms. the next morning my usual testings were cut in half and the guardians, along with Dimitri, and i were escorted into kirovas office. she knew about me but that still didn't change anything. i didn't really like her much.
"as you already know you are a special person rose." she started. i rolled my eyes. really tell me more, I thought sarcastically. "but this is serious, later tonight you will be leaving and flying to the courts, because the queen has requested an audience with you. you and your little friends will be leaving a few hours after school ends so be ready." I stared at her
"oh jeez tell everyone my secret. I mean that what secrets are right, tell as many people as you can." I said getting irritated. I knew the queen didn't like me and she knew i didn't like her, but at least I get to bring my friends.
"we didnt tell her everything, all she knows is that you are 'probably' the one thr prophesy talks about but other than that she knows nothing." she responded. I sighed, were off to see the wicked bitch of the west
