Richelle Mead owns it all, except a few characters

Chapter Five

"Hello?" Ryan yawned into the phone.

"Hey, Ryan…I just met my dad" my voice sounded weak and pathetic; something I hated.

"That, is a lot to digest. How are you feeling? And your mom…"

"She's locked herself in the bathroom….it's just really weird. Alik doesn't know, and I really hope he doesn't because he has explained what he will do to him in explicit detail" I shuddered at the memory. I had nightmares for a few nights after it.

"Good, just let him warm up to your dad before you, or anyone else, tells him. Other than this news, how's your day been?" My eyes searched the wooden floor for a good minute, before I realised he couldn't see me.

"Good, I guess. It's been good seeing everyone; except people don't recognise me since I lost a few kilos"

"I was expecting that. Listen, I've gotta go, but it was great that you called me. I love you" I barely got out a word before he hung up on me. I was left with my thoughts, in my new dorm room. I had a small single bed; a desk, and a really old computer, and the smallest bathroom known to man. There was no leg room (trust me, I checked). Do you know what the worst part is? I didn't have a T.V. I cried for a good ten minutes when I found out. I walked over to my bed, ready to go to sleep, when there was a knock at my door. After a few profanities under my breathe I opened the door on; Scar face. If you're wondering who scar-face is, it's Tasha Ozera. I don't pay any respect to her 'cause, you know, she kinda took my dad away from us.

"'Ello 'ello, what do you want? I was just going to bed" her face was unusually pale tonight, although it could be the lighting. Instead of answering my question, she attacked me. My head hit the post of the bed. Although it didn't do any damage, I had to fake that I was injured so she wouldn't suspect who I really was.

"Listen here you little blood-whore, if you even come close to breaking Dimitri and I apart, you will regret it. I will kill you, your brother and your mother. You know what they say; like mother, like daughter" she hissed, which did not look the least bit attractive!

"I don't like people who threaten me and my family, but, you're not a normal person. You're more like a psychotic ex that won't leave my family alone, so it's up to me to get rid of them. You've started a war here Ozera. Tell me, why did you compel Guardian Belikov to stay with you? Is he just a boy-toy of yours? Of, do you feed off o-" she cut me off with a slap to the face. It tingled for a few seconds, before disappearing completely.

"Is that the best you can do? I've had better from a human" I really got it after that. Did I say this woman was psychotic? Jez, I was so right. She kicked me several times in the ribs (not hurting a bit might I add) and made a few blows to my face. Once she thought I was knocked unconscious, she left. I got up off of the floor and walked over to the bathroom mirror. I had a small blood nose, but that would clot in a few seconds. Thank god that bitch didn't damage my face, or she would be dead by now. I was going to play nice with her, but I think it's time to shake some sense into my father; meaning knocking the compulsion out of him. After changing out of my Hawaiian pyjamas and slipping into a full black outfit, I slipped out of my window and ran over the guest housing. I was taking a random guess and saying those two were sharing a room. I got to the guest housing signing in form, and found that they were sharing a room together. I got their room number, and ran down the hallway. Several dorm matron false alarms later, I had reached the room number. I checked the door and found it; open. What kind of guardian doesn't lock their door? Once safely in, I took in my surroundings; three doors, which I'm guessing were the bathroom, bedroom and maybe a closet, and the grand kitchen. Why do these people get good rooms while us students have to suffer? So unfair! I opened one door, and found the bedroom. First try and I already got it, how great am I? I could see one person in there already, so I quietly crept up to them and found; Dimitri. Tasha probably isn't back from assaulting poor children. I sat down on the bed near him, and started shaking his shoulders. After a few unsuccessful attempts at waking him up, I decided to jump on him; as any girl would do. The first jump I did woke him up perfectly; making him roll out of bed and fall right onto his face.

"What is going on?" he murmured, shaking his head and turning back to go into bed; only I was sitting right in front of him. He let out a strangled cry before going into a defensive position.

"Loved the scream. Anyways, I'm here to help you" my voice was very demanding.

"Help me with what? Where is Tasha? I need her around"

"Dramatic much? She's probably out killing someone! On with what I was saying, you're being compelled right now to think that Tasha is the love of your life, which let me tell you is a huge lie, so either you're naturally like this, or she is the biggest freak I've ever me-"

"Tasha is not a freak! I have loved her since I laid eyes on her when I was little. I've always dreamed of being with her" his voice became really dreamy, which made me want to barf. I pulled out a spirit infused ring that repels compulsion.

"I need you to put this on. It will make you dream of Tasha for all of eternity" he snapped his attention back to me, and made a grab for the ring. He pulled it on his pointer finger, and a few seconds later, his dreamy expression faded to one of confusion.

"What happened?" his voice didn't sound so sour as all those other times.

"You've been compelled for the past eighteen years. If I didn't hate the bitch so much, I'd congratulate her for having that much power"

"Bitch? Are you talking about Roza? You don't even know her! How dare you say that about her" Wtf? I understood what 'Roza' meant, because Ryan taught me a little bit of Russian, but I had no idea what else he was going on about.

"I was talking about Tasha. Do you not remember anything over the past few years?" he looked around the room, like it was going to give him all the answers.

"You look a lot like Rose; are you related to her?" was this guy an idiot?

"I'm her daughter. Can you answer my question now?"

"Daughter? What did Ivashkov do to her? I swear I will rip his head off with my bare hands!" his voice started rising; which was not good especially when Scar-face was supposed to come back any second now.

"You need to follow me; I will tell you everything you need to know"

"How can I trust you?" Good point. No one should trust me, but this was a life or death situation. Okay, not really, but you get my drift.

"If you don't leave with me right now, Rose Hathaway could die" Drastic actions cause for drastic measures, or something like that. None the less, it worked. He pulled on a pair of jeans, and a shirt.

"Can you explain to me now what is going on?" he asked after we had made it out of guest housing. I was leading him to a secluded part of campus so no one will eaves drop.

"Not yet. We can't afford anyone knowing what about to talk about" after a few minutes, I was sure we were safe. We found a wooden bench, and sat down.

"Where do I start? Okay, how about you tell me the last thing you remember before meeting me" he looked deep in thought. He was silent for ages; I didn't think he was going to talk, until he started speaking.

"Your mother and I were very close I guess you could sa-"

"You banged, what else?" he looked very amused by my choice of words, but quickly recovered.

"There was an attack at the school, and we both survived. I vowed to myself, that if we survived, I would ask her to marry me. I asked Tasha if she would come with me to look for engagement rings. Only when we got there, she asked if we could talk…and that's the last thing I remember. What happened after that?" this was all too confusing! Why would bitch face do that?

"Well, from what I heard; you came back from the whole fiasco, told mom you were leaving to protect the love of your life; in this case Tasha, and then she began cutting herself, she found out she was pregnant and put her guardian duties on hold so she could provide us the life of luxury. Every night we heard her cry for hours"

"Every night?" he sounded really broken; but it wasn't my place to comfort him.

"Every night. If I were you, I'd get a new room and tomorrow morning, ask for a job here. Do not talk to Tasha because she will try to compel you again!" my voice was stern, like I was scolding a two year old for stealing a cookie. I liked being in charge. After our little talk, I walked back to my dorm, only to find someone else waiting for me.

"I thought maybe we could have a movie night" every Sunday night, my brother Alik and I would go to each other's rooms and watch movies 'til midnight. After seeing the movie; The Notebook (not my choice!) I decided what I had to do; I had to get mom and dad back together before it was too late…

I hope you liked it; Tasha is a bitch, right? Please review and tell me what you liked or needed more of, or the complete opposite...
