I have like no homework so I can write, woohoo. Thanks for the reviews I got and I just wanna go over one quick thing, well first of all I will not be supporting Rose/Christian or Dimitri/Tasha. And also the blood whore thing was just Tasha implying that Rose was one to the other moroi men on campus. That's all and you know the drill, I don't own anything but the plot and Dimka isn't a strigoi but cabin happened, blah blah moving on!
R.P.O.V.
I glanced upwards from my position against Dimitri's chest, which still smelled of his clean, sharp aftershave, to see Scar face with her hand on her hip, fangs peeking out from behind her lips. Dimitri tensed under me and stood quickly with me in his arms, angled slightly in front of me as if Tasha posed any threat against two highly trained Dhampirs.
"Tasha, there was no reason to call Rose a blood whore, you know how offensive that is," He calmly told her, of course he's in control and I'm already straining against myself to punch that pretty face of hers. I moved forward scarcely and Dimitri blocked my way, he didn't want a scene between his charge and I.
"Dimka, please, this is not your battle," She turned her piercing ice blue eyes towards me, "This is about you, We come back for a nice visit with my nephew and I come to tell my guardian that dinner was starting and I catch a blood whore after him," a severe amount of venom out of one so weak, I stepped closer to her, much closer but he yet again held me back, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me back, putting his lips to my ear.
"Roza, please, let me handle this, we don't need a fight," He whispered so only I could hear.
"The hell we don't," I said loudly and slipped out of his grasp and marched up to her, "Now you listen here Tasha, You have no right to come here and call me a blood whore, He is your Guardian not your husband, not your boyfriend, but your guardian, who are you to tell him who to love?" I jab the ends of my words but otherwise I am calm, though my inner patience was ticking rapidly, seems lessons with Dimitri are starting to teach me self control, who would have thought? At least I was control until she stepped closer and stuck her face near mine.
"He is mine, not yours, you're only a child, nothing more," She sneered, I clenched my fists and started to pull my arm back, I could see from my peripheral vision that Dimitri was hovering barely behind me, ready for anything, He saw quickly what was going on and grabbed my wrist, I was gonna show her how hard a 'child' could punch. He stepped in between quickly.
"Tasha, Rose, This is a petty argument over nothing," He turned to Tasha and spoke in quick and annoyed Russian, "Мы будем говорить об этом, когда мы дома, And at that, Suspicion is an unbecoming passion " then he turned to me, smiling ever so slightly at my confused expression from the foreign tongue, "Rose, go back to your room, maybe go see Lissa, go eat if you're hungry, just rest, I will see you tomorrow, We will speak farther on this matter later," And with that he ushered a glaring Tasha back to their Guest Housing.
I went back to my room and grabbed my MP3, I pressed play and a song that seemed to fit the moment flowed into my ear buds…
Are you scared of the dark
Are you afraid they'll break your heart
Are you afraid you'll lose yourself
Are you afraid of your own health
Are you scared to lose
Are you afraid to choose
Are you afraid you'll win
Are you scared of your own sin
Are you scared to forgive
Are you afraid to live
Are you afraid to die
Do you think it's all a lie
To live
When you think you're dying
To laugh
When you feel like crying
To stand
When you think you're gonna fall
It's just fear after all
It's only fear after all
Are you afraid you'll be alone
Are you scared to pick up the phone
Are you scared of the past
Do you think that you might crash
Do you think you're in too deep
Are you afraid to sleep
Are you scared there's no stability
Are you afraid of your own fragility
To live
When you think you're dying
To laugh
When you feel like crying
To stand
When you think you're gonna fall
It's just fear after all
It's only fear after all
To mend
When you're think you're breaking
To strength
When you know you're shaking
To pray
When your back's against the wall
It's only fear after all
Are you scared of the end
Are you scared to begin
Are you scared of the start
Do you think they'll break your heart
Do you think they'll break your heart
To live
When you think you're dying
To laugh
When you feel like crying
To stand
When you think you're gonna fall
It's just fear after all
It's only fear after all
It's only fear
The only fear is fear itself
The only fear is fear itself
The only fear is fear itself
It's only fear
D.P.O.V.
I cursed under my breath, how close had I come to seeing my love fight my charge, where would that have landed me, If I helped Tasha, I lost Rose, If I helped Rose, I may have lost my job, Neither was a happy ending. God, this confused me. I knew Tasha had felt for me, she had offered me countless times to start a family, to marry despite how shunned it would be, especially to an Ozera. We moved near the cabin. The light from the windows was honey, flowing sweet and golden from our temporary home; it reminded me so much of the night of the lust charm, my cracked door spreading light over Rose's beautiful face with a warm glow. Shaking my head as if to launch the idea out of my mind, I held the door as Tasha crossly went through the threshold. I closed it once again quickly before the frigid air could enter into the warmth that filled the air like a blanket on our chilled skin.
"Tasha, what happened back there, you can't do that, she's only nearly 18 and she's been through so much already," I scolded her, she stepped closer, trying to seem vicious.
"And you think I didn't go through anything? I had to kill my own family! I had to see those red eyes and that burning desire to kill, to drink all life away!" She retorted
"Tasha, I am not downplaying the severity of what you have been through but you're 31 and Rose is only nearly 18, She has lost one of her best friends before her eyes, She's already killed 2 Strigoi single handedly and played a major role in a battle (A.N. The battle happened but the cave never happened), her mother left her alone so young, and she was brought back from death in an accident that killed the family that cared for her most!" I was losing it, I knew that, but Rose needed to be defended. Tasha seemed to understand but then her eyes hardened again.
"Dimitri do not take Rose's side on this! You love me remember!" she stormed and actually began to almost whimper, "You chose to be my guardian, not her mentor! You have to see Dimka!"
She was quite persistent, why wouldn't she just give up, "Tasha...I love Rose, you know this, Please do not pull us apart," I pleaded. A smug looked crossed her face, "And what if I do? She can't give you anything, but heartbreak," she got closer to stare me in the eyes.
"Tasha, No," was all I said before she stood on her toes and kissed me, it was not an earth shattering kiss or one that made time come to a standstill, but one of great discomfort, I felt as if someone had put a doll to my lips and wished for me to kiss back with a passion. Passion was nothing I would give to Tasha, only to Roza. Of course this was the moment Rose (Who I knew would have been listening at the door) stormed in. Grabbing a handful of Tasha's glossy black hair she pulled back violently and Tasha shrieked, before Rose punched her square in the nose with the sickening crunch of cartilage and bone.
