Roses POV:
Dimitri lay on a one of the hotel beds once again; he had been resting for two days straight. I could see newly formed scars on his once flawless skin. I winced as I remembered what Victor and Tasha had done to him. Eddie padded into the room silently and beckoned me over.
"Yup" I said popping the p, and turning my back on Dimitri to meet Eddie at the doorway.
"I had Mikhail and Christian search the cabin and they found Victors body, we don't know why but we are guessing Tasha killed him for a specific reason" Eddie said grimly, I sighed. I wanted to have my revenge on what Victor had done to Dimitri, but at least we didn't have to worry about Victor coming after us anymore now that he was dead.
"Thanks Eddie" I sighed and he left me to my thoughts after that. I heard Dimitri shuffling under the blankets and I turned to find Dimitri waking up, he blinked. He looked confused as his eyes roamed the room, and then relief settled over his features once he realized he was no longer in that rotten prison. Then his eyes settled on me and his whole body stiffened and pain masked his face.
"Rose" He said roughly "You shouldn't be here" He gave me his back blocking me off, and I didn't have to read his mind to know why he didn't want me around. He was feeling guilty when I had offered my blood to him; I ignored him and walked over till I sat on the bed in front of him.
"I'm not going anywhere Dimitri," I said firmly, and he raised his head to look at me and I almost gasped at the agony written all over his face.
"I don't want you here Rose" he said softly but his eyes looked so sad and seemed to call out to me for comfort.
"Yes you do. Dimitri you can't be bad mad at yourself you taking my blood, I offered it to you" I explained for him.
"I almost drained you. And I would have if you hadn't hit me with that brick" Dimitri's voice broke in anguish; I reached out towards Dimitri and tucked a couple stray strands of hair behind his ear.
"You were starved Dimitri, you couldn't have helped it" I raised my voice slightly trying desperately to get through to him; I would not loose him now.
"But I hurt you, I could have killed you" Dimitri took a deep breath to keep himself together.
"No, I'm a big girl. I can handle myself," I said strongly "Don't beat yourself Dimitri, you're a strong man there was nothing you could have done in this case" Dimitri looked up, sighed and then nodded.
"Your right" he said, his voice came out stronger. Then he did something totally unexpected and pulled me in for a kiss, it was short and sweet. My entire body sizzled at finally being reunited with Dimitri again, we both pulled away a little breathless and we were so close our nose touch and I could feel his warm breath caress my face.
"You should know, I wont be going back into modeling again" I said and smiled at him, and I could see a little relief on his face. I had been thinking about this ever since we had rescued Dimitri "I've realized it could draw some attention to New York and Strigoi could find us. I'm going to study and do something else" Dimitri smiled pridefully.
"That's great Roza, what are you going to study?" Dimitri's eyes beamed.
"I don't know yet" I said confused, what was I interested in enough to make a career out of?
"Well, you have plenty of time" Dimitri smiled, and then something appeared to catch Dimitri's eye and his expression turned harsh and angry.
"How did you get those?" Dimitri asked tenderly stroking my neck. I had bruises around my neck and Dimitri appeared to only notice them now.
"Tasha" I began to explain but Dimitri cut me off with his ferocious growl and his infamous 'I-want-to-kill-something' look.
"I'm going to kill her," He growled, as he scrunched up the blankets in rage.
"Too late, I killed her the night we found you" I explained.
"Good. She deserved it" Dimitri growled again, the expression he wore could have killed.
Just then the door creaked open and Eddie knocked on the door to gain our attention, Dimitri turned and offered Eddie his full attention.
"We need to have another group meeting now" Eddie said and softly closed the door not allowing any protest of any kind.
"Lets go" I said to Dimitri and took his hand and we left to the lounge area.
The group was already waiting for Dimitri and I; we sat together on one of the couches and listened to our group.
"We need to figure out our next move" Eddie spoke first, standing as he spoke he turned his gaze to look at everyone sitting before him.
"We need to get back to New York first" I said, "Then we can figure out what our next move is," I told Eddie, he nodded and sat back down.
"We are flying back to New York tonight and then we can have another group meeting tomorrow" Dimitri ended and got back up and took my hand and we left for our bedroom to pack to leave.
It didn't take long for us to pack, I hadn't brought much anyway. We all met in at the door ready to leave with our backpacks, when everyone was ready we left to pay the hotel for our stay and drive to the airport. We took the next flight out, I was nowhere near ready for another long flight but it wasn't a choice. After hours of reading magazines and watching a couple movies on the TV I finally decided to kill time by sleeping the rest of the way, I settled next to Dimitri who was reading one of his cowboy novels I had brought knowing he would love a read when I brought him back. I rested my head on his shoulder and let myself go and I instantly fell asleep.
"Roza" Dimitri whispered and gently brushed my hair out of my face.
"Mm" I mumbled, I patted the little trail of drool that had made its way down my chin. I heard his rich chuckle warming me up; I hadn't heard his beautiful laugh in so long.
"Its not funny" I groaned, and raised my head off his shoulder.
"It's very funny. We're here," He informed me, and I collected my bag and got up.
We quickly made our way out the airport, and we caught a taxi back to the mansion.
When we arrived back at the mansion, my body ached from the fight when we rescued Dimitri and the flight had my body scrunched up awkwardly. I fell on the bed and sighed at the feeling of finally being able to relax. I heard Dimitri sigh and shuffled outside the room. I could hear him talking softly to Eddie; he came back shortly and pulled the blankets aside for me to get more comfortable. As soon as my head hit the pillows and my body was covered under the blankets I fell asleep immediately.
I felt the sun on my eyes and cursed and covered my head under the pillows, I heard Dimitri pad across the room and block out the sun through the windows with the curtains.
"You're up" I stated, I thought Dimitri would have been passed out after what he had been through.
"I couldn't sleep," He muttered, and snuggled back under he blankets next to me.
"Why is that?" I asked curiously.
"I didn't want to wake up to you missing again," He whispered sadly, I looked at him and his eyes held the saddest look, like he was going over his worse memory.
"Dimitri, you wont loose me again," I whispered furiously.
"You don't know that" His voice cracked in despair, while he snuggled deeper into the blankets and held my body tightly to his.
"Yes I do, I'm stronger now," I said in a matter of fact way.
"Promise me" He said and looked me in the eyes looking serious.
"I promise," I whispered, and I could see a hint of relief on his face.
Dimitri got up and switched his sweat pants for jeans and slipped on a black v-neck.
"Where are you going?" I asked confused.
"The group meeting" He stated, smirking.
"Oh yeah" I said, and got up and quickly changed into jeans and a tank top.
We both left and found the group enjoying waffles for breakfast.
"What are we going to do now? Avery knows where we live she could alert Strigoi" Dimitri asked cautiously.
"We could move" Eddie suggest, I looked up at him and glared.
"Ok, that would be a no" He muttered under his breath, but it seemed to spark some interest in Dimitri.
"That could be a good idea," Dimitri said in amazement.
"No" I refused.
"Why?" Dimitri looked at me in shock.
"Because my friends are here and we can't expect them to move too, they have a life here" I stated.
"Roza, friends will come and go. You must understand that" Dimitri said softly though he looked sad that I would have to say goodbye to Lissa and Mia if we were to move.
I gasped at his comment; he knew how much Lissa and Mia meant to me "You know how much they mean to me. If you expect me to leave my best friends then you're not the same Dimtri that sacrificed himself for me, because the Dimitri I knew would never expect me to leave my best friends. If you move, it's the end of us. You can move, but I'm staying" I growled furiously and stomped to Lissa's bedroom to vent.
Adrians POV:
I missed Sydney, I had just arrived back in New York and I was already craving her caramel eyes and her tender touch and caring words. Would I ever see her again? I dialed her phone to hear her voice once more.
"Sydney" I croaked sadly when she answered.
"Adrian?" She answered in surprise.
"I needed to hear your voice once more" I said softly, I began to wonder if she heard me but after a minute she responded with something that started to make my legs wobble.
"There's something I need to tell you Adrian" Her voice shook slightly.
"What is it?" I asked warily, I could hear my heart beating faster.
"I'm an alchemist," She said carefully, and my hand lost grip on the phone in shock. I knew when I told her I was a vampire she took it too well. I cursed as I picked the phone back up, I could hear her calling my name through the phones speaker. I ended the call, and clutched my chest at the agony after hearing what she had done. I had trusted her with my heart and she had lied to me like I meant nothing.
