The After-Effect chapter 7

Hi guys, sorry for the delay to updating this story, I gave you 2 chapters last week and exhausted myself! I also posted a little one-shot, so be sure to check that out and let me know what you think!

'Well done' I said. 'Now try and communicate with me.'

He closed his eyes and lay back against the plush aeroplane chair. I didn't even know if this would be possible, let alone do-able in a very new bond, but as we were now on the run, it would be an essential tool to use. I stopped watching him after a while and began to watch the little tv. It was showing Twilight. How ironic. It was a good job it was him having to work things out, I would have never had the patience to try for as long as he had. I almost jumped when I felt a small tickle in my mind, as if he was there. It was much stronger than the one I had felt when he was simply seeing inside my head. I pushed towards it hoping it would help him, and then I felt the world open up. I was seeing things through his eyes this time.

I jumped back into my own mind, shocked, as Lissa had never been able to do anything like that, however much she had wanted to. I jumped for a second time when I heard a voice in my head. I would have turned around if I was able to move my body, but there was no-one there. I realised that the voice was Dimitri, it was just very faint. 'I can do it Roza' he said. I glanced my eyes back to him. He looked visibly tired from the exertion. 'So, we have established that we can speak both ways. Did you feel me in your mind earlier?' I asked. He shook his head. I wasn't surprised considering how hard he was concentrating. 'Well I can see through your eyes too, so the bond works fully both ways. I really am sorry Dimitri, I know how much of a pain it will be to you, but at least you won't have to see me have sex, as it will be you with me'. I blushed scarlet, realising what I had just said. He chuckled. If I had to pick to have a bond with anyone, it would be him. At least we were a couple so there wasn't as much privacy to breach anyway. I hoped some of the less attractive things he saw through my head didn't put him off.

He reclined his chair so that he was lying next to me and placed his hand on my cheek, stroking it slowly. 'I can't wait to introduce you to my family' he said.
'Its going to be strange though, as I wont actually get to talk to them. It will just look like I'm your care dependent and I don't like that anyone has to look after me'. Losing my independence was actually on my list for one of the worst things that could happen to me. 'They will understand when I tell them the full story Roza' he reassured me. 'My grandmother Yeva might be able to help, and as I said before I'm sure that some of our friendly friends can'. We fell asleep then, passing the time on the long flight.

'I need you to call Lissa for me' I asked once I saw he had woken up, he had slept for a long time and the plane was descending into Russia. 'I can tell she felt what happened, and we need to explain it to her. Obviously, you will have to as I can't talk (this was getting really infuriating), but I can speak through your mind and you can relay it if that's ok?' He nodded. Once the plane, had landed in Russia he pulled out his phone, dialling Lissa's number.

'Hello?' she answered.
'Princess, its Dimitri Belikov.'
'Dimitri, hi! Where are you, is Rose with you?'
'Yes, she asked me to ring, knowing that you realised something happened earlier.'
'I did notice, she pulled magic from me didn't she. I lost contact to it for a while.'
'Princess, I will explain it all in length another time but in short, I died and she brought me back. We have a bond.' I could tell through the phone that Lissa was shocked.
'Why did you run Dimitri?'
'People can't find out about Rose using spirit, there are so many bad outcomes to that. The other reason is that she is paralysed at the moment.'
'WHAT?' screamed Lissa.
'We think its something to do with the darkness and I will resolve it somehow princess please don't worry. We need to go now, but I will keep you updated when I can, and hopefully soon Roza will update you herself.'
'Tell Rose I love her, and please keep her safe Dimitri'.
'I will', and he shut off the phone. He picked me up and carried me off the plane. 'Welcome to Russia Roza'.

I hope you guys don't mind the slightly shorter chapter this week, I've had a bit of writer's block and so I felt this was a good place to finish this chapter so I can start afresh next week, sorry
