Chapter 46.
RPOV.
I woke just as quickly as I had fallen asleep, by a constant knocking on my door. The knocking soon grew into a pounding that had me bolting upright in bed.
"What what? God I'm coming!" I growled.
"Time to go, Rose." I heard Lissa say. My sluggish mind couldn't process what she was talking about.
"Time to go where?" I asked sleepily.
"Hathaway! Open the door!" Mason's voice rung out. I could tell that he was getting impatient and so was I. No one wakes up Rose Hathaway and then gives her attitude. It's just wrong. I ignored my body's bitching and sprung to my feet. I marched over to the door and ripped it open. I faintly heard Lissa snap at Mason but I wasn't paying attention to what she was saying.
"Listen Ashford, you don't fucking talk to me like that! Got it?" I snapped getting right up in his face. Making sure my point was getting across.
"Calm down Rose. He didn't mean to anger you." Sydney said stepping between us. Lissa's cool hand went on my shoulder as she steered me back upstairs into my bedroom. "Rose, save all the anger for later, ok? Right now let's get you ready." She was trying to calm me. He voice was portraying that she was here to help, not upset me. I nodded and then everything made sense.
"Dimitri." I muttered. And Lissa simply nodded.
"Okay Liss, I'll be fine." She nodded again and headed out the door leaving me alone with my thoughts and the task of getting dressed. I pulled on a pair of Dimitri's sweats and one of his shirts with crylic writing since his clothes made for comfortable combat wear. I twisted my hair up in a tight bun, pulled on a jacket and was out the door to join the others. Before I could make it out the door though, my phone chimed. I pulled it from the pocket the jacket had and was surprised at what flashed across the screen. Incoming call from Yeva.
"Hi babushka." I answered politely, but still feared what she would have to say.
"Hello Roza, just wanted to tell you to be careful. Things aren't as they seem." With those unsettling words, she hung up leaving me feeling queasy. I pushed all my worries out of my mind and continued on my way out the door.
No one said a word as I walked in the living room. Whether it was because they could sense my worry or they just didn't want me to have another episode like earlier, but nevertheless, I was grateful. Everyone was tense and still. There was no conversation, hell I was sure people were hardly breathing. I closed my eyes and did something I had not done in a while. I prayed. After about 5 minutes of this stillness and silence, I couldn't take it anymore. We all knew I was not known for my patience. I also could not stand silence, I had always filled it with constant chatter.
"We going or what?" I asked while eying everyone standing around
"Let's go." Guardian Croft said sternly. He was acting as the leader of this gang because of my consition.. According to everyone, I wasn't supposed to fight unless it was completely necessary. I had of course flipped out and told them that they were acting as if I were an invalid.
Of course, they won using the excuse that it was for both mine and the babies safety. I knew they were close to telling me that it would probably be better if I stayed back, but they knew that I wouldn't be having any of that. Thankfully they were a lot smarter than I gave them credit for. Hans handed backpacks to everyone containing silver coated weapons as well as an extra stake. Sydney had managed to make her silver potion into dust so we also had silver dust to carry along with us.
"Rose, here take this. Rub it on your body. It's a silver based lotion that would make you untouchable to strigoi." I stared at her blanky about to say something about this but she cut me off. "Just in case." Sydney had clearly seen my face.
I was about to tell her just what I thought she could do with the lotion, but a look from both Adrian and Lissa, it was enough to shut me up and get me to comply. Nothing felt different as I smeared the lotion over myself, but I'd had a lot of experience with moroi charms to know that nothing really happened as you slipped them on. If these worked the same way then only time would tell if it actually worked.
"Watch your step little dhampir." Adrian said as we made our way over the rocky terrain. Lissa was right when she said that you would definitely miss this place if you weren't looking for it or if you didn't know it was there. It was as if the entire world was becoming modernized while this place was stuck in the past. There were rocks, trees and shrubs scattered all over the place. If you weren't paying special attention to the trail you might find yourself tripping on roots and stumps. The trail was average looking with thorny branches lining the edges. You might walk into one and have a thorn caught in your eye. That thought made me close my eyes and cringe. I couldn't tell why anyone would want to live in a place like this especially when court wasn't very far, but then again this was Robert Doru and his gang of merry men so I guess I could see why. It was perfect to hide out and not be detected. As we got closer to the cabin, my heart rate picked up. This was it; we were going to get Dimitri back. No more lonely nights in a bed that was far too large for just me. A small smile crept onto my face. This bastard was going to pay.
"Rose." Lissa called, while pulling me back. I gave her a funny look after scanning our surroundings. We weren't in danger or anything but her she was stopping me. Why the hell would she stop me? Did she not see I was on a damn mission. I took the moment to look around again, the cabin was an old weathered structure that looked like it would fall apart at the slightest of winds. I looked questioningly up at Lissa. "I've got to give you something." She continued. She took my hand in her's and placed 2 smooth cool objects into my palm. I looked down and gasped. Lissa had gotten the Dragomir crest made into a charm it was a small half of a heart charm.
"What happened to the other half?" I asked looking pointedly at the heart. It was gorgeous. She smiled a small gentle smile and pointed to the charm bracelet she wore. One of the charms hanging on it was the other half to my heart charm. I smiled and hugged her. Dimitri was my soulmate but Lissa would always be my other half, she was my sister, something no one else could be.
"They're beautiful Liss." I told her tearing up. Damn hormones, now was not the time to be all soft and sappy.
"They are charmed with spirit. I could feel the darkness swirling within you so I made you some charms." She said wiping a tear that rolled down my cheek. "Here let me help you." She added the charms to the bracelet I always wore as well as the chokti and my nazar. They were the only forms of jewelery I wore and now, the ring that never left my finger. I was curious as to the choice of the charms, but I decided to question Lissa later. I tugged on her hand leading her to where the others were gathered a few feet from the cabin. With one look, we all split up and charged at full force. It was no surprise to find that we had strigoi waiting for us. With a battle cry, Megan sent a dagger flying that cleared the head of a strigoi instantly.
A/N I can't really think of any questions, except do you all think Rose is going to be good? Should she even be there? REVIEW! They make me happy, and ensure frequent updates…
