"Rose" I heard a familiar voice behind me, echoing in the cave, and slapping me in the face.
I turned my hips around quickly and saw Dimitri propped on one elbow, looking straight at me. His voice sounded relieved, but his eyes sparked with hatred.
And, suddenly, my muscles locked in place, my whole body went stiff, and my breathing came out ragged…
He was controlling me…
Many Gasps
I gasped. What was happening?! I… couldn't… move.
I got up – ok, I guess I could move, but I couldn't control it – and stood perfectly still. I heard a deep chuckle right by my ear, and I could feel a warm breathing against my neck.
"Didn't expect that, Rose, did ya?" he chuckled evilly again; I've never heard him laugh like that before. He stretched and let in a sharp breathe, then relaxed again, meeting my now glaring eyes.
"Hmmm" he said, taking in my new appearance, walking around me, looking at different angles while I just stood there like a statue.
Then, suddenly, I was walking out the cave again. Dimitri trailed behind me. I was walking toward… somewhere. I moved robotically toward another hole, but the darkness wasn't as dark as the caves.
Once we were through the hole, I saw a moon, trees, grass… we were outside.
I felt relief for some reason, probably because I was out of the cramped place, but there was a bigger chance that it was because Dimitri let me go.
I crumpled down to my knees once I was free. I looked up and took in my surroundings. We were only, Dimitri and I, just surrounded by trees. As my eyes made a circle around the forest, my eyes stopped on Dimitri, who was sitting against a tree, hands behind his head. He patted the grass next to him, and I gladly got up and sat next to him, not wanting to be taken over again.
"Well, Rose, you are looking exceptionally beautiful today" he said to me, but it didn't bring me any joy, and I had already been told that today, anyway.
"Wha- Wha- What do you want, Dimitri?" I stuttered.
"Do you still love me?" he asked.
"What?" That was… random.
He sighed, impatient. "I said, do you love me?"
Time passed. "It's a yes/no question, Rose" he grumbled. But, it really wasn't. I mean, there was so much. If he asked me a few days ago, I would have quickly agreed… but now? I wasn't sure.
He let out a big, loud breath and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Let me answer for you, 'yes', so let's continue." He looked straight at me, burning a hole through my eyes. "Let's take over" he said simply.
I stared at him, confused again. Take over..? Take over what exactly? I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out, so Dimitri explained.
"'Take over' as in 'let's take over this Strigoi clan of theirs.'" I was about to answer, but then he added. "Together."
Minutes passed, but there was no change in Dimitri's expression, no impatience in it.
"Where are they!?" we both heard – faintly to a human, but clear for us – from the caves.
We calmly went back inside the caves, and awkward silence around us.
One Week Later…
Dimitri and I avoided each other, it seemed. We occasionally passed each other in the halls, and he would smile, knowingly, at me, and I would freeze in response – but it wasn't him controlling me, it just brought up what had happened last week, in the woods. He hadn't used his 'power' on me, or anyone else, since that night.
Then, a visitor came.
Everyone was called to the center of the caves – I had learned all the ways through these caves, inside and out. It was crowded, every one of the vile Strigoi smashed into one room. I made my way through to the front of the circle, shoving everyone around me to the side. There was a girl in the middle of the circle, but her hood was up, so I couldn't see her face – though, there was a strange feeling that I had known her...
I could feel someone's eyes on me, and saw Dimitri staring at me – as usual – across from me.
"Greetings everyone" Dargon greeted us, flinging his arm around the mysterious girls shoulders. "This here is one of my new friends, and you will all be kind to her." 'Kind.' I snorted quiet enough that no one heard… except for Always-Watching-Dimitri of course.
The girl, with a small twitch of her head, swung her hood off. What!? It wasn't even a Strigoi! It was a Moroi. It did look kinda evil for a Moroi though, that's strange, their supposed to be kind and goody-goody, right?
It took me a while, but I finally identified her… I meet her eyes, and she smiled evilly towards me, showing me all her teeth and fangs.
I gasped. I was her, it was Lissa.
A/N: I added extra chapters, so please, please, PLEASE, Read&Rate. Thanks again.
