The Eyes of Heavenly Fire
Chapter 20
Rose
After the movie she half-concentrated on Rose was surprised when Dimitri drove past the house.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see."
They drove past the outskirts of town then came to a halt. Dimitri helped her off the motorcycle as she took a look around. Why were they there?
"Look up." he said as if reading her mind.
She looked up amazed at how many stars there were.
"This is beautiful."
"Stars always tend to be."
That's when she felt an unusual feeling. One that she hadn't felt in a while That's when she realized what it was.
"Oh my God." She whispered.
Dimitri's body stiffened as he looked around them.
"What is it?"
"I-I think I love you."
She lifted her head to meet Dimitri's gaze but instead she met his lips. In that kiss she could feel how much he loved her.
"I love you too." he whispered and kissed her again.
Rose knew she should have worried about the energy draining, but all she could seem to do was kiss his perfect lips. Than her stomach started to turn and she stopped. Someone was staring at them.
"Dimitri."
Rose looked up and and saw that his eyes were closed. As she turned around. A laugh came from where the shadow was standing and she realized it wasn't the same one from before. This one felt different. Less dangerous.
She knew it was one of the fallen from the misery she felt surrounding him, but this one seemed more curious than wanting to kill her which was a refreshing feeling. Rose unlocked her locket and grabbed the veil just in case. It appeared as if Dimitri was now out cold and unable to fight. It was up to her. Well shit.
"You must be Rosemarie Hathaway. You're very famous among the fallen."
"Why do they want me?"
He took a step closer, but he was still far enough away from her that she didn't see him as much of a threat. Well at the moment. Only time will tell.
"You mean you don't know."
"All I know is that your kind marked me, because I escaped death. Is that the only reason? If so why did they mark me before they tried to kill me?"
The man gave a low chuckle and stepped closer, she lifted the lid.
"They don't want just you. There's just a reason they want you specifically."
"Why?" she yelled.
"You are a truly beautiful sight together. That's your only clue. I'm not telling you anything more."
"Why don't you leave then."
"You see that I can't do because they also sent me with the very annoying task of capturing you. It shouldn't be too hard considering that you're weak."
He stepped closer and gripped one of her arms it burned, but she gritted through her teeth than laughed.
"I wouldn't bet on it."
She placed a drop from her necklace on his skin and he backed away releasing her. He screamed and clawed at the spot on his arm.
"Stupid bitch."
He backhanded her, but thankfully she stayed in place. She threw some into his eyes and raced to Dimitri's bike placing Dimitri on it. She flipped through her memory trying to remember how to start it when Dimitri woke up.
"Rose! Are you okay?"
"Just help me start this shit!"
Dimitri did and they rode away with the screams of the fallen before he finally was put out of his misery.
