Soft laugher approached up behind me.
Ugh this is just what I needed right now.
"Hello there little dhampir" he chuckled slightly as he said this
"What do you want Adrian?"
"What? I can't stop by for a little chat, I mean really"
I gave a slight sigh "well as nice as this is I was planning on having a nice peaceful sleep if you don't mind"
"Well before I let that happen..." his face turned slightly serious as he continued. "how has it been going, your mission I mean"
"If you're asking if I have found him, the answers no"
"I'm sorry"
"Its fine, I'm actually on my way to his home town, and am getting some unexpected help..."
"Help?" his voice sounded slightly surprised
"Yes, on my way I ran into Dimitri's cousin."
"His cousin? Huh that's good I guess" there was something in his voice that said otherwise but I didn't know what.
"Yes well he's going to help me search for him being as he knows the area better than I do, anyways now you know so can I please get some peaceful sleep now?"
"Being with me isn't peaceful?"
"Not at the moment" and with that I started to wake up, but just before I did I heard Adrian's last couple of words
"Be careful little dhampir"
I awoke with someone tapping on my shoulder and whispering to me.
"Hey wake up we're here" Mathew's voice sounded so familiar I could have sworn it was Dimitri's voice not his.
I opened my eyes slowly only to be met with the bright light of morning and the suns warm rays heating my cool skin.
"Hey how long have I been out?"
"Hmm…about an hour, you were talking in your sleep you know, something about a guy named Adrian" he had raised his eyebrow as he said this.
"Oh yeah, that's a long story"
"Huh you seem to have a lot of those"
Come to think of it I actually did, most things about me tend to lead into some kind of long ass story.
I was about to say something else, but then my stomach grumbled and seemed to speak for me.
"Hungry?"
I gave a slight nod
"Good, I know the best restaurant, and after we get done eating we can go and get a room at the local hotel and figure out where to start our search."
We both exited the bus and started our walk into town.
"Hey aren't you going to have to keep driving that bus?"
"I was only a temp I guess you could say, the real driver will be here later today"
I gave another nod and kept on walking until we reached a small restaurant in the middle of the town. The minute we entered the place I was hit with a fantastic aroma of delicious foods, although looking at the menu I had absolutely no idea what anything was.
I looked up at Mathew who was actually staring at me, and even though he knew I had caught him he didn't quickly look away.
"Umm...looking at something?"
"Just the confused look on your face I think it's rather funny" he chuckled slightly
"Well I'm glad I'm funny to you" I said sarcastically.
He laughed again, "Did you want me to order for you"
"That would be nice, being as I don't speak a bit of Russian."
The waitress soon arrived and he ordered some sort of dish that I am hoping would be good.
A few minutes later the girl came back with our food, and it looked delicious. It was pizza!!
"Hey I didn't know they served pizza in Russia?"
"Well they make it so when people like yourself come in they can actually eat something if there not willing to try the local Russian foods."
"Who said I wasn't willing?"
He raised his eyebrow at me again and I just gave him a smirk back and dug into my pizza.
Once finished we headed to the hotel, it was a 4 story building that had a rustic look to it, just like most things in this town. On the inside there was animal heads mounted on the walls and a fire place heating the lobby against one wall. Ahead was the check in desk. We got a room that I paid for being as I had Adrian's money with me.
We were on the fourth floor and in our room there wear 2 queen beds (obviously), a mini fridge, a sweet very large flat screen TV, our own fireplace, and a balcony the over looked the whole town. That's where I headed first.
Outside was slightly cold, but the view was beautiful, there was a little snow coating the roofs of houses, and in the vast background there stood gigantic mountains. I gave a slight gasp as to how wonderful it all looked.
"Beautiful isn't it?"
I hadn't noticed Mathew had come up beside me. "Yeah, it must have been great growing up here"
He laughed "It wasn't half bad."
I smiled and pictured a miniature Dimitri running through the streets playing. It only occurred to me at this instant that he could be running through the street again here at night, but for a different reason….to kill.
I quickly turned away from the view and all seriousness returned to me and I faced Mathew.
"Where do we start searching?"
Hey so I finally got around to writing chapter 7, sorry if it's a little boring. Chapter 8 should be more exciting with their search beginning and all that, but sadly once again it may take awhile to get that posted, exams are coming up and I have to start studying. If you have any ideas for the story I would be glad to hear them, thanks! =D
