Okay I was really disappointed with the amount of reviews from the last chapter, which was 2 reviews.
I do not own Vampire Academy Richelle Mead does. I just own Viktor and the story line.
Chapter 5
Previously on "Dimitri … Is That You?"
"Names please." The guardian asked.
"Lady Natasha Ozera, Lord Viktor Dashkov-Belikova and Miss Hathaway requesting permission into the Royal Court." Tasha said politely. I didn't know that Vitya was a lord, who would have he is a Dhampir.
"Thank you. Welcome to the Royal Court." The guardian said as the gate opened for us to enter. This was the start of my life getting back on track. Or so I thought.
"Hay Vitya? Is this your first time at the Royal Court?" I asked as Tasha slowly drove towards the Court's Royal car park.
"No, I actually live here. I was in Australia on vacation." Vitya told me.
"Oh, okay." I replied. When I looked out of the window I got a glimpse of Princess' Voda, Szelsky and Ozera out at lunch, surround by their guardians. They had three guardians each seeing how they are royalty and the Princess' of their line.
When Tasha pulled into the car park she started to tell Vitya and me what we were going to do while we are at Court. "Okay so seeing how no-one remembers who you are Rose except the Queen – maybe – we have to find Lissa and the rest of the gang and make them remember you. Seeing how there is a ball on tonight, Vitya you must pretend that Rose is your date," when Tasha said this Vitya smiled at me, "Vitya, you and Rose must stay together at all times. Rose do not argue with me this is for your safety. If Kirova is working with the Queen you don't know what she might do to you."
I wanted to grumble but I could see the logic behind what Tasha was saying. We grabbed our suitcases and wheeled them to Vitya's apartment. Tasha was going to stay with Lissa and Christian because that's what she usually does when she comes to visit. We all decided it would be safer for me to stay with Vitya then stay in the visitor's section of Court. When Vitya, Tasha and I dropped our bags off we went out for lunch. It took us five minutes to walk to the restaurant. After we had finished eating lunch I needed to pee really badly so I told Tasha and Vitya I was going to the bathroom. Just as I was about to open the toilet door it suddenly swung open and hit me right in the middle of my face and knocked me to the floor.
"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry I didn't know you were there. Are you okay?" The voice of an angel asked and I'm not exaggerating. When I looked up I saw Lissa standing in front of me in a VERY expensive looking dress.
"Liss?" I asked her dumbfounded. When Lissa saw my face, her face scrunched up in confusion. Could she possibly remember me?
"Do I know you? You seem very familiar. It feels like I've known you my whole life. Which is strange 'cos I've only just met you?" Lissa said. Oh my god she remembers me!
"Yeah I'm Rose. Rose Hathaway? I used to go to St. Vladimir's with you." I told Lissa hoping that she would remember me.
"Really? When did you leave? Was it sometime in Elementary School?" Lissa asked as if I was a long lost friend. Well I guess I am kind of a long lost friend.
"Um no. I left during our senior year. I graduated early went to live in Australia." Through the bond I could tell that Liss was getting really confused. Suddenly a flash of anger came from her. "What is wrong with you? Are you pretending to know me because I am the last Dragomir? How could you do that?" Lissa screamed at me drawing the attention of all the customers in the restaurant.
"No I swear I'm not joking. I'm Rose your best friend. I grew up with you. I was there in the car crash that your parents and Andre died in," A pang of sadness went through Lissa when I mentioned her family, "As a matter of fact I died in that crash too and you brought me back. I know that your boyfriend, Christian, fought in the Strigoi attack at St. Vladimir's with a Dhampir.
Do you even know who that Dhampir was?" Lissa shook her head, "It was me! If it wasn't for Christian and me teaming up a lot of the Elementary kids would have died but no-one can even remember me not even my mother or my best-friend Vasilisa!" I screamed into her face. About a second later I started to openly sob. As I collapsed onto all fours someone caught me. I looked up expecting Lissa –or maybe even Tasha - to be holding me but what surprised was that it was Dimitri.
"Are you alright …" Dimitri asked me.
"Guardian Hathaway." I stated, my voice quavering. This is the first time have actually been able to use my title around people.
"Are you alright Guardian Hathaway? Is this woman bothering you Princess?" He asked Lissa ready to dispose of me if needed.
"No it's –" Lissa started to say before Tasha and Vitya rushed over to me.
"Rose, Roza are you okay?" Vitya asked me taking me away from his brother's arms. Funny when Vitya called 'Roza' I felt Dimitri physically flinch. Could he somehow subconsciously remember his nickname for me?
"Yeah … I was… just tal…king to … Lissa." I told Tasha and Vitya. While Vitya was holding me he told me to take long deep breathes to calm my breathing so I could stop crying. Damn I have been crying quite a lot these last couple of days.
"Vitya what are you doing here?" I heard Dimitri growl at Vitya.
"I'm here with my friends Tasha and Roza, baby brother. Does that bother you? Anyway I do live here." Vitya told Dimitri as if he was a Royal talking to a lowly Dhampir, even though Vitya is Royal and he is also a Dhampir. He is so lucky I am not in a angry mood otherwise he would have just earned a broken nose from talking to Dimitri like that.
"Don't talk to me like am 10 years younger than you Viktor." Dimitri raged. Lissa was looking between the brothers looking confused. Well it looks like I'm not the only person who didn't know about Vitya either.
"Dimka, Vitya calm down this is not about you. Rose are you alright?" I nodded, "Lissa would it be okay if I was to stay at your place or do you want me to stay with Rose and Vitya?" Tasha asked Lissa trying, and succeeding, to change the topic.
"What you and Rose can't stay with my brother it is too dangerous. You don't know what he is capable of doing." Dimitri practically screamed at Tasha.
"You have no control over me anymore Comrade; I am no longer your student. I can do whatever I want and I am staying at Vitya's place." I screamed at Dimitri not caring that I just called him Comrade.
When Dimitri looked at me I saw a moment of confusion in his eyes before his guardian mask took control of all his facial features. "I do not know who you are Rose so how could you have possibly been my student if I have never seen you before today?" He asked me in his strictly business voice.
"Think real hard Comrade. What do you think happened on all of those blank periods of time before breakfast everyday at St. Vlads? All of those times that you can't remember what happened. There is a reason that you – and Lissa and Christian and everyone else for that matter – have these unexplained gaps in your memory.
It was because you were compelled to forget someone. ME!" I yelled at Dimitri. Dimitri was looking at me like I had just uncovered his greatest secret that no one knew about. What can I say; I have that reaction with people. All of a sudden I was unable to stand being close to Liss and Dimitri. As I rose to my feet I grabbed both Tasha and Vitya by the hand and walked out of the restaurant and headed to Vitya's place.
That night was the second night in the last three days that I cried myself to sleep.
Okay so as I was saying I was really disappointed in the chapter's reviews so I want to reach 20 reviews before I will put my next chapter up. I really need to see reviews 'coz without I'll think that you aren't interested in reading my story. So please can everyone review it would make really happy. Just review what you like, what you didn't, if you want something in particular to happen and I will see what I can do about it.
