Chapter 7
The first day was a bit hard. Sleep deprivation really does something. I have night watches. I feel like I have become a school guardian… watching the school grounds and stuff. It kind of reminds me of when I snuck out and ran into Dimitri. He lent me the key and let me off the hook. It was pretty nice.
I look over and on top of a roof I see Kiryuu just sitting up there. I'm still pretty pissed at how he treats me. But hey just another Dhampir who thinks he's all that. But for some reason I still kinda get sick when I'm around him sometimes.
It reminds me of when I'm around Strigoi.
I just don't understand it. He seems in control. Just then I saw something move behind me. Dimitri is standing there behind a tree trunk.
"You know... you aren't as quiet as you used to be." I said casually with a small smile tracing my lips.
"Well… it's hard sneaking up on a girl with unique powers..." he replied softly.
My heart started to race as he gave me his knowing smirk. Well it's not like I could have controlled the stupid blush that seemed to spread across my face. He brushed my hair away from my face and touched my marks. And my new Promise mark.
That's right. I forgot to mention. I actually got a promise mark to Lissa. And boy did it feel awesome. I mean the tattoo itself kind of hurt but otherwise it was awesome. My mother was there and she actually looked proud. And I knew Dimitri was proud. Anyone could tell by the look on his sexy face.
Suddenly out of nowhere Kaname showed up.
"Belikov… I'm fairly sure its against rules for you and Ms. Hathaway to be out alone together…
She is now part of the disciplinary committee. And I believe that you should be guarding Ms. Dragomir. Am I not correct?"
"Mind your own business!" I said angrily but Dimitri just held up a hand to quiet me.
"No need to be rude rose. He is right. It is a bit inappropriate for me to be out here. You have a good night Rose. Kaname." He said as he departed.
It didn't take long for me to burst out.
"Why did you do that?" I asked annoyed.
"Do what Ms. Hathaway?" he said innocently.
"What the hell is your problem?"
"Leave Zero alone. I know you know." his tone turning serious.
"Excuse me… I don't have a clue what you are talking about..
and you don't seem to be that nice to him either so you don't have any room to criticize.
Your just a stupid hypocrite!"
Suddenly ghosts surrounded Kuran and he was looking quite a bit scared.
I was just so angry I didn't care if he got hurt. In fact I hoped that he did.
Suddenly I heard a voice from behind me.
"Hey there….little Dhampir… don't you think you have tortured this guy enough?"
I froze dead in my tracks and the ghosts seemed to slowly disappear as I turned and saw Adrian standing there with is messishly
styled hair in his nice clothes. He wore a scarf around his neck that looked very warm.
Suddenly his arms were around me and I hugged him back.
"I missed you little Dhampir." He whispered into my hair.
