"Nothing." He breathed, kissing me once more before pulling away from the tree and setting me down. "Now let's go." He said, pulling me in the direction of my new home.
I followed him willingly, still slightly dazed.
RPOV
We arrived back at the house to find Lissa running around, with Christian following her helplessly. She literally ran into me, when I opened the kitchen door.
"Woah, Lis, slow down." I said putting my hands on her shoulders. "What are you doing?" I asked her?
She looked frantic. "The queen called, she said your ceremony was at four and that I had to organise it." She said in one breath, waving around a bunch of papers.
I looked at the clock, it was just after eight. In less then six hours I would be getting my marks. In less than six hours the world would no I was the slayer. The room in front of my started to spin, I let go of my hold on Lissa's shoulders and leaned backwards into Dimitri.
"Oh," was all I said.
"Rose, are you alright?" I heard Dimitri ask, as he led me over to sit down.
"Jezze, you look like you've seen a ghost." Jokes Christian, I shot him a glare, so not appropriate.
"Rose, it's fine you'll be fine." Said Lissa, kneeling in front of me, looking me in the eyes.
I took a deep breath and swallowed.
"You're right, it's fine." I nodded. "It's not like the whole court's going to be there." I reasoned. Lissa looked away. "Lissa..." I said sternly.
"Well actually..." She trailed off.
"The whole courts going to be there?" I asked, she nodded. I groaned letting my head fall back.
"Rose, listen to me." Lissa said sternly, I groaned again but looked at her. "You. Are. A. Hero. They will love you." She told me.
"No," I whispered, dropping my chin to my chest. Apparently Lissa wasn't having any of that.
"You Listen to me Rosemarie Hathaway and you listen good. You are having your ceremony today at four. You don't have to like it, but it's gunna happen. One way or another, do you here me."It must be the motherhood thing kicking in, cause she totally sounded like a mother scolding her child for being rude. I just nodded.. "Good, now you are going to have breakfast, then shower and be ready for me by two o'clock."
"Okay, Lis." I whispered standing up.
"Thank you, now I have to go organise this shindig." She said grinning and just like that scary Lissa was gone. She picked up the papers, shuffling threw them and grabbed her phone, speaking into it rapidly.
I went and got some cereal out of the cupboard and poured a bowl for myself and Dimitri.
"She's going to be a great mother." Dimitri said, leaning on the counter and grabbing a bowl. "Thanks." he nodded.
"No problem. And yeah, she will be an amazing mum," I sighed, staring off into the distance, eating my cereal.
We stood there in silence. I decided now was a good time to talk to Dimitri. I wanted more of an explanation, I just wanted more, I needed reassurance right now.
We finished our cereal and washed up our bowls.
"We need to talk." I stated, before walking to my room, trusting Dimitri was following me.
When I got to my room I noticed my bed had been made, I guess they had a cleaner. I sat on my bed and watched as Dimitri, closed the door and came and sat next to me. I slid beck on the bed and laid down. Dimitri, slid back next to me and wrapped his arms around me, I rested my head on his shoulder.
"So..." I said, aimlessly drawing patterns on his arm.
"Were do you want me to start?" He asked quietly.
"At the beginning." I whispered, needing to but not really wanting to here what was coming.
"Okay so you remember the last time I saw you."
***Flash back***
"See you tomorrow?" I asked, after our good-bye make-out session. "Or later..." I trailed off hopefully.
He didn't answer, I looked up at him. He looked lost, like he wasn't really there, actually he had seemed out of it for the last couple of days. I had tried to get him to talk, but figured he would tell me when he was ready.
"Dimitri" I said, waving my hand in front of his face, he blinked and seemed to come back to the present.
"Umm no, I have some stuff to take care of this weekend. I won't see you, sorry." He looked really upset, so I tried to make a big deal out of it.
"Ow okay, well I'll see you Monday then." I said, trying not to frown and giving him a chaste kiss.
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you too." I said, walking out of the gym.
***End of flash back***
"Yes," I whispered. "But that's not the start."
He sighed. "On the Thursday morning before training, I received a phone call...
*** Flash Back Dimitri's Point of View***
I woke up to the annoying sound of countries music coming from my phone. I really didn't like it, but it was fun to annoy Roza with it.
I groaned, but answered.
"Hello." I barked sharply.
"Well, well Dimka, that's no way to greet a friend." I heard Tasha's voice say.
"Sorry, you woke me up, why aren't you asleep?" I asked, she had pretty much the same time zone as we did, she should be in bed now.
"I know Dimitri." she said seriously. I felt my pace quicken. I sat up quickly, leaning againt the wall.
"Know what?" I said, playing dumb.
"Don't play dumb with my Dimitri." Dam it. "I know, why you turned me down. I know about your illegal relationship with your student."
"Wh-what?" I stuttered. How the fuck could she possibly know, we weren't even in the same country.
"You heard me. I said. I know you are sleeping with your student Rose Hathaway, a minor/ I have my source's, I have proof. Now if you don't do exactly as I say, she will pay." I could heard the malice in her voice.
"How?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Simple. I will expose you's. You will be stripped of your title and put in jail and she will be banished." I could practically hear her nod at the end.
I sighed. "What do I have to do?" I asked solemnly.
"Simple you have to leave, there is a flight ready for you on Saturday morning. You will get on it. All you are to tell the others is that you have decide to take up my offer. If you're not on the flight I send the proof I have to Kirova, Alberta and the queen, just to be safe. You will not tell Rose anything, and if you do I will know. Do you understand."
"Yes." I said.
"Good. I shall see you on Saturday evening. I love you. Bye." And with that she was gone.
I threw my phone against the wall, where it smashed and let my tears fall.
***End of flash back, end of DPOV***
…..." He said.
I nodded for him to continue.
"On Saturday I came too see you before I left, you were still asleep. I gave you a kiss on the forehead." His voice started to break, I rubbed his arm soothingly. "And told you I loved you and asked you to forgive me."
***Flash Back DPOV***
I wiped away my tears as I walked through the halls to Roza's room. I knew she would be asleep. But I had to see her, I had to say goodbye.
I took a deep breath, opening the door slowly, with the key she had given me. I entered and closed the door silently. Then just stood there for a moment taking her in.
She had tossed during the night and now her sheet was barely covering her. Her small tank top was riding up to show off her perfect stomach, her short short, exposing most of her beautiful thighs and her hair fanned out around her. Her face relaxed in sleep, her lips slightly parted. She was stunning.
I sighed quietly moving forward slowly. I leaned forward, kissing her forehead softly.
"I love you Roza, with everything I am." I told her honestly. "I'm sorry to hurt you like this, it's killing me, but I can't let her ruin your life, I just hope one day you will forgive me." I kissed her forehead again. "I'm so sorry, I love you." There were tears in my eyes again. I stood up and left, giving her one last wistful look before closing her door.
***End of flash back, End of DPOV***
I nodded again, not trusting my voice.
"True to her word she had a plane waiting for me. I got on and it took off. He met me at the airport and took me home. I did as I was told... mostly... she made passes, but I refused each time, she started to get frustrated." I couldn't help a small grin at this. "Then it was your graduation, she wanted me to go, to make it out like we were a couple, but I refused, I told her I couldn't do that to you. She got into a mood and said, fine I didn't have to go, but if I wasn't more 'obedient' when she got back, then she was going 'take care of you'." I almost laughed at this. "But before she got back I contacted one of my friends from the academy. He told me about what had happened with you and that you had gone missing the night of graduation." He paused.
***Flash Back DPOV***
It was so nice to have her gone, she was going to be gone for ten days, and I could almost feel myself starting to relax... well as much as possible for guy with a broken heart. It had been months, and hadn't heard a word about her. All I had, was some pictures... the rest of it was like a dream. My chest ached just thinking about her.
I pulled out my phone and dialled, tapping impenitently against my leg as I waited for an answer.
"Guardian Davis." finally.
"Hey Ben, it's Dimitri." I said solemnly.
"Hey man, it's good to here from you. Heard you went to guard Ozera, why aren't you here with her now?" He asked.
"Personal reasons. And yeah. How's things been there?" I asked.
"Same old." I was getting frustrated, I called Ben 'cause I knew he loved to gossip. "But man you should see your student." There we go.
"Why what happened?" I could hardly contain myself, here it was, what I had been waiting for, news on Rose.
"Man she was messed up after you left. She went missing for two days, then they found her in one of the old cabins, heard she was a real mess. Didn't leave her room for a week after that, not for food or nothing. Then suddenly, she comes out again. But she's not her. You remember, sarcastic, bitchy, life of da' place and a bloody handful." I grunted in response, wanting him to continue. "Well she wasn't. She was quiet and never talked to anyone, only ever saw her in the cafeteria or in class of at the gym. And let my tell ya' she was there a lot. Man she was hot before, you should see her now." I bit back a growl, sick of his rambling but wanting to hear more. "But anyways get this, she got top marks right and I don't just mean training I mean all her classes, even Stan's and everybody knows how much they hate each other. She was gunna get the princess as her charge and everything." He paused, seeming to wait for my answer.
"Yeah, then..." I pressed
"And then nothing." He finished.
"What do you mean nothing?" I asked, confused.
"That's just it man, nuthin' she's gone, left straight after grad, while everyone was partying. There was a letter of her bed to the princess and that's it." I almost dropped the phone."Weird huh?"asked
"Yeah," I said, mumbling a quick reply before hanging up.
***End of flash back, end of DPOV***
"I was a wreck, I had left to save you, but had hurt you just as much in the process. It didn't take long for me to decide what to do, I packed a little, just what I needed and left. I searched for you for a little over a year, I think I even went to a few of the same places, just never the right time. After that I came back here, to were Lissa was. I knew you wouldn't leave her forever and it was just a matter of time before you came back and when you did I would beg you for forgiveness."
I was crying now, I didn't know what to do, what to say. A lone sob escaped my chest, Dimitri wrapped his arms tighter around me and I turned and started bawling into his shoulder, just crying.
He loved me and only me.
I cried, for my lost mother, for the father I never knew, I cried for Lissa's family, I cried for the last three years, for being without Dimitri... and for finally getting him back. G**, I cried until my eyes were dry and I had no tears left.
Dimitri didn't speak, he just held me, occasionally kissing the top of my head. When I was done I waited a minute, before slowly lifting my head and looking into his eyes.
"Sorry," I whispered, my voice hoarse, from crying.
"Nothing to be sorry for. Are you okay?" He looked worried, like I might start crying again.
"I love you Dimitri." I said, as strongly as I could.
"I love you to Rose." He said and then he kissed me, when he pulled away we just looked at eachother for a few minutes, then I saw the clock. It was 12-45. Shit.
I rolled off the bed and staggered into the bathroom.
"Rose?" Dimitri called.
"Have to get ready for Lis." I called, before turning on the shower and getting in, letting the hot water sting as it washed away the last of my tears.
There, I tried, sorry bout any mistakes, but hey it's late and i'm tired, not this chap it like almost 2500 words, so not too bad. Hope you enjoyed the little insight to what happened for Dimitri... if not ow well, write your own story. :P.
Will try to UD as soon as I can after I get back from camp.
