This first part was supposed to be in the beginning of chapter 18. But the file got deleted and that's why I accidently posted 18 a second time. I rewrote it last night and forgot to put it in so here it is.
Pyramid or Castle?
Sarah's POV
I knocked on Adrian's door. He was a good guy but he needed to stop drinking. He's going to kill himself. I opened the door and let myself in, closing it behind me. "Adrian." I walked over to the bed. He was sprawled out with two vodka bottles at either of his sides. It had been three days since Rose had gotten back. She had just gotten to the hospital and Eddie had asked me if I could go get Adrian so that he could see her. But looking at him now, I think that seeing her would only hurt him more.
Adrian looked like he was barely conscious. I went into this small kitchen and got a glass of cold water. I walked back to the bed and threw it on his face. He shot up and looked around. "Sarah! What the fuck?" He yelled at me. I just looked back at him with a glare. From what I heard, it didn't even compete with Rose's, but it was enough for Adrian. "I'm sorry for yelling."
"Are you sober?"
"Sober enough." He shrugged. I put the empty glass down and sighed. "Adrian, you need to stop drinking."
He huffed and rolled of the bed. "Why? I'm just going to go insane anyway."
"There are people to help you. Lissa has Rose. And you have…" I paused. "Me."
He looked up at me. "I am truly sorry, Sarah."
"All is forgiven." I laughed and hugged him.
I was a new student who had come from another academy. I was a senior and a fire user like Christian. In the past month, he had taught me a lot.
Adrian stroked my blond hair I have black underneath the blond layer. "I love your hair." I blushed. He cupped my chin. "I love your chocolate eyes." I smiled up at him. "I love how they turn a beautiful amber in the sun." He kissed me softly. "I love you." He whispered.
I giggled. "I love you to. All your features. But, you need to stop drinking!"
"If you keep loving me, I just might."
Three days later
Abe's POV
"They're gone?" I asked the guardians at the gate.
"Yes sir. They told us they were doing something for you." One of them replied.
"Alright. Thank you." I walked back up to the school with Janine at my side. "Let me see something." I told her and headed to the garage. I looked around and saw my car was gone. I sighed. "Rose is just like me."
Janine laughed. "So true." I took out my phone and called Rose.
Rose's POV
"Well, Dimitri?" He was holding the map. We had been driving for about ten hours. "Left or right?"
"If you wouldn't have gone right when I said left back at the last turn, we wouldn't be in this position now." He said.
"Oh no. Don't put this one on me just because you are a bad navigator, Comrade." I laughed. "Well, I guess we're going right."
About twenty minutes later, we got a call. "It's from Abe." I said to Dimitri.
"We are too far away for him to do anything now so answer it." He said.
I shrugged. "Alright." I pulled over and pressed the send button. "Hey, Old Man."
"Rose, I don't care where you are going and why, I just want you to tell me that you and Dimitri are okay." A worried Abe asked me.
"We're fine." I assured him. "I promise. We will be back in… three days."
"Do you have any money?"
"No a lot, no."
"Look in the glove compartment." I reached over and opened it. "Wow. How much cash is that?" I asked amazed.
"About $900. And there is a credit card in there with your name on it." I pulled out a black, plastic card that sure enough, had my name on it.
"Sweet." Dimitri chuckled.
"The pin is 1428. See you in three days, Kiz."
"Bye, Old Man." I hung up the phone. "Looks like we will be staying in the presidential suite." I smiled at Dimitri. I pulled back on to the road and drove.
Four hours later, we past the sign.
Welcome to Las Vegas.
"Yay! 14 hours of driving and we're here!" I yelled.
"Where are we going to stay?" Dimitri asked.
"Pyramid or castle. Take your pick." I said.
"Castle." He said.
"Yay!" I said and sped up towards the Excalibur Hotel.
We checked in and I was sad that we didn't get to stay in the actual castle. Only the hotel next to the castle. "What a bust." I complained in the elevator. Dimitri chuckled.
"At least we got the Honeymoon suite. He leaned over and kissed me."
"We need to go shopping." Our complete lack of luggage proved my statement.
"For now, let's just enjoy our night together." He smiled.
"Comrade!" I laughed. "Never thought you would bring that one up." I laughed harder. We unlocked our door and walked in. "It's beautiful." I said looking around our room. I grabbed Dimitri's hand. "So, how do you suggest we start this night?" He pulled me to him and lifted me on to the bed.
"How about here?"
**VA**
I woke the next morning snuggled up to Dimitri. "Good morning he said and held me tighter." I yawned.
"Good morning."I lifted my head up and pecked his lips. "Last night was great." I smiled. "Shopping time right?"
He laughed and nodded. "I guess." I ripped the blankets off and jumped out of bed. I looked down and saw nothing. Except my naked body. "Whoops. I covered myself up with the sheet."
"Not like I haven't see you like that before." Dimitri chuckled at me.
I remembered we weren't in the academy dorms. "Right." I dropped the blanket. "Care to join me for a shower?"
**VA**
"I like that one on you." We were done with all of our clothes shopping and now we were looking for a tux for Dimitri. "Your… perfect." I smiled. "Now my turn." He took of the tux and put his regular clothes on. We bought the tux and went next door to the dress shop. One of the women came up to me.
"Hello, mam."
"No mam. Just Rose."
"Alright." She led me and Dimitri to a big chair. Dimitri and I sat down. "What are you looking for?"
"A white dress that is simple and beautiful. Not floor length. Right below my knees." I said.
She nodded and scurried off. "Why not a long dress?" He asked me.
"I will were a big dress for the family wedding." I replied.
He nodded and the woman came back out holing two dresses.
Author's Note: On any other day, I would have described these but I really don't want to. So I shall skip to the actual dress she chooses.
Seven dresses later, I found the one. It was strapless with a drop waist. It was a mermaid dress so under the bottom of the waist, tool flared out into a full skirt that went right below my knees. The bodice was a heavy silk. At the bottom of the tool and tied around my waist, there was a black silk ribbon. A black flower with white tips was on top of my head to complete the look. "Roza, your beautiful." Dimitri came up and kissed me. I burst into tears. They started streaming down my face. "What's wrong, Roza?" He paused. "Are you having second thoughts?"
"No! No. I love you! And I want to marry you! I am just so happy. That's why I'm crying. I'm not used to feeling so loved. The only person who has ever loved me is Lissa. And you just absolutely run that over with a truck with how much you love me." I kissed him and wiped my tears away. "I am so lucky. How could you ever love me?"
"Oh, Roza, I am the one who is lucky. You came back to the academy and I immediately fell in love with you wit, your charm, and just you. Your perfect in every way. I could never ask for more." He kissed me. There sure was a lot of kissing going on.
He pulled back. "Let's go get married." He said.
I really liked that chapter. I know it wasn't one of my best and it's kind of choppy but I am tired. And go check my poll out. Not telling you what it is, but it is extremely important that you vote. The story depends on you! Review!
