The Eyes of Heavenly Fire
Chapter 17
Dimitri
The day that past were all good until they hit Halloween. Halloween was a dangerous holiday for angels since it was the one night the fallen could do and hurt anyone they decided to. They could even possess people if they really wanted to. It was going to be a destructive day.
Mia was now out of the hospital and they were skipping a couple of periods to go visit her at her townhouse.
"I'm glad you guys came to visit, but you shouldn't have skipped class."
Rose sat on the bed and smiled.
"We wanted to plus I was worried about you."
"I'm fine. Just a little banged up."
"Thank you again for saving me."
"It's no problem Rose. Just try not to do it again. I might be a lot of things but indestructable isn't one of them."
"I promise to pay more attention."
"Good."
"When are you going back to school?"
"In two days."
"That's great."
"I'll probably have a shit load of homework though."
"I'm pretty sure your teachers will give you an extension."
"Yeah."
"Did Adrian stay home too?"
"No. He isn't that lucky."
Rose chuckled softly.
"Mia. I know your company is trying to be polite, but they need to go. You need your rest." Mia's mother said coming in.
"Sorry guys. I guess time is up."
"We'll come by tomorrow."
"Don't forget to bring chocolate."
"I won't."
Dimitri grabbed Rose's hand and they drove down to the high school getting disappointing looks from the staff before they headed to class. He hated school sometimes He either heard conversation about him and Rose as a couple or people's plans for Halloween. Their plan was to stay at home and watch scary movies. It was boring, but safe. Each day they spent together they fell more in love than the day before.
The bell rang and they were on the way to the gym when Rose suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"We've never been on a real date."
"We've got plenty of time for that. We just need to be patient."
Rose frowned and started moving again.
"It's just weird we're starting to love each other and we don't really know each other well. Well technically I don't know a lot about you."
"You know how I died and other stuff."
"But I want to know more."
"Fine. We'll go on a date tomorrow, but tonight we have to stay in."
"Is that really necessary?"
"Yes. The fallen will be all over tonight."
"Won't the necklace and you protect me?"
"The necklace can only do so much."
"Can't tonight be an exception? I'm sick of staying at home."
"Tomorrow can be the exception. Please don't fight me on this Roza."
Rose frowned slightly irritated and Dimitri kissed her on the cheek.
"Please don't be mad at me. I'm only doing what I think is best for you."
She smiled and kissed his lips. He saw her glow slightly before he pulled away.
"We can't afford to do that here."
Rose chuckled as they made it to P.E. Adrian was stretching and the others were also following suit.
"Alright class. It's the fitness test. We're going to start out by walking nine laps. Now let's move it."
The cold air hit them as they left the gym and walked outside into the cold October air. Nine laps wouldn't kill an angel, but humans tended to be a bit more lazy. Dimitri walked with Rose far away from wandering ears and eyes.
"Any updates on Tasha?"
"Last time I checked she was in a coma." He murmured.
To be completely honest ever since the fallen had used Tasha as their vessel, she was getting closer and closer to death. Dimitri didn't want to tell Rose the whole truth. He didn't need for her to blame herself when it was the fallen who were responsible for Tasha slowly and painfully dying. He sighed as Adrian got closer to them.
"I heard you visited my sister today."
"Yeah. We did." Rose answered.
"I don't want you around her anymore."
"What?"
"You're a safety hazard. She almost died because you were careless. I'll never forget that."
"Lay off Adrian." Dimitri said.
"No. You lay off."
Adrian pushed Rose out of the way and started jogging again. Dimitri felt Rose quiver and he tightened his grip on her hand.
"He didn't mean it. He's still upset."
Rose nodded as they continued their walk.
