Chapter 11

It worked, I was sucked into Lissa's head. 'Get Dimitri!' someone had shouted, then it went black and then I was watching the monitors through Lissa's eyes.

Lissa started to pace the control room, my mom and Abe were trying to figure out what was going on with me. I saw myself on the monitor and saw what had them so worried. Both my hands were bloodied and being wrapped. My hair was awfully tangled and my face looked bruised.

"Putting her in there with him was a mistake! She's become deranged and much more short tempered. Look at her! She broke her hand!"

Just as my mom was about to start talking I was pulled out of her head by a blinding pain. Rearing up as a bloodcurdling scream left my throat, I pried my eyes open. Tears blurred my vision as I took in my surroundings. A face loomed before me and I tried focusing on it.

My vison cleared and the face became clear. It was Dimitri.

"Roza? ROZA? Hey, are you ok? You broke your hands punching an oak tree. Gally saw you take off and then heard you scream. I figured it was because of me, so I didn't go check. It took every ounce of self will to not go after you." He very carefully put his hands on both sides of my face. "Then when they came and got me and said you had hurt yourself and then passed out it scared the living crap out of me! Don't you ever do that to me again!"

I nodded just enough for him to register before his lips were on mine. He very slowly drew me closer until our bodies were fully touching. Feeling his arm snake around my waist pulling me flush to his body, my arms slide up his and around his neck. He lifted me up and pushed me against the wall. We stayed like that for a while, however before we could go much further there was a knock at the door. I giggled as he set me back down looking both flustered and out of breath.

Turns out it was Adrian coming to check my hands and to see if he could channel Lissa and fix my hands. Concentrating on Lissa I felt myself slip back into her head.

I felt Lissa's mind take control of me. Looking at the monitors, she focused on my energy and I felt the surge of happiness and light flow through me. Adrian was holding both my hands to rebound the Spirit into me to heal me. We both knew the effects of her using Spirit. It was darkness. Usually I took the darkness from her and it always ended badly for me.

The darkness was creeping into her mind, I could feel it. Thinking quickly, I channeled into myself.

Feeling anger again I shot up and shoved Adrian out of the way and darted out the door. I needed something to punch. Grievers would do nicely, however there were none around at the moment. Getting rather aggravated by that I opted for running. Running always did the trick if I had nothing to punch or kill.

Her darkness made me a challenge for even an aged Strigoi with years or even decades to defeat. I ran harder and longer than usual. Finally calming down, I slowed down to a slow jog and gradually came to a stop.

I was dripping in sweat, looking more like I just played in a rainstorm rather than run a marathon. Heading over to the Homestead, I decided to take a shower since I had just run 22 miles. Reaching the Homestead, I ran up to the room that Dimitri and I had been sharing. Quickly searching the room, I found a set of clothes that I could easily alter to fit me. Looking again I found a knife to cut the fabric so that I could make them fit me.

After my shower, I slipped into the clothes, and as I suspected they were defiantly too big for me. I started cutting and refitting the clothes to fit my body snuggly. Finally ready, I walked out of the shower and started searching for the weapons that I knew were hidden in the glade.

Grabbing a weapons belt, I started my hunt. Walking as I strapped the belt onto my waist. Some of the knives were being used as mundane things. Reaching around some of the boys that were working I quickly grabbed what I needed. The only thing missing now was the silver stake. I knew that Lissa wouldn't have been in on this without making sure that the dhampirs in here were properly armed.

An arm snaked around my waist pausing my search. Turning around I met the chocolate brown eyes of none other than Dimitri. Grinning I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You seem much more confident now, and your hair smells like fruit and sunshine." He said with a grin. "I know you are rather focused on gathering the weapons for your belt. The look on your face look more like an avenging angel. It's kind of hot. That and you are drawing the attention of every guy in here."

I glanced down and realized that I had made the super baggy shirt into a skin-tight crop top, and the baggy pants I had made into hip hugging less baggy sweat pants. Looking around, I saw that Dimitri was right, every guy in the Glade had their eyes glued to me.

"Whoops?" I looked at him as innocently as I could. "I didn't mean to make the clothes look like this, I was too irritated when I cut these clothes to my size after I ran. I took most of Lissa's darkness and there was nothing around to punch." I explained.

He nodded in understanding. Taking one of his hands, I led him back into the woods. Making sure there was no one around, or any cameras nearby. Satisfied that there wasn't, I wrapped my arms around his neck and closed the distance between our lips. I heard him groan as he lifted me up, wrapping my legs around his waist and shoving me against a tree.

I raked my fingers though his hair, I felt his hands slip under my shirt and slowly drag his nails down my back. Arching my back into it, I moaned and deepened his kiss. He gently bit my lower lip pulling a groan out of me and causing me to tighten my legs around his waist.

Someone started crashing through the woods coming closer to us. He put me down and turned around, keeping me hidden and obscuring my view.

"WHERE IS SHE?! WHERE IS ROSE?" he shouted at Dimitri. "ROSE! I KNOW SHE IS OUT HERE! I SAW HER COME OUT HERE WITH YOU A FEW MINUTES AGO!"

I knew that voice! Peeking between his arm and his torso, I saw him. It was Adrian!

"Adrian! What the hell is going on?" I asked, coming out from behind Dimitri. "Why are you being strange? What happened to you?"

"I just got a message from a person named Abe Mauzer. Who is he and what is he relation to you? And tell me the truth!"

Looking down, I swallowed. He knew. Adrian figured it out. Taking a deep breath, I started to explain.

"He is my father."
