Chapter six: Really worth it?

Chapter 6:

Dimitris' patient was running low as he stood before the family of the girl who has taken over his thoughts and his frozen heart.

He could not help himself as he pleaded to them once again, but with each plead they would have confusion and less cruel words towards him. That expression on their faces gave him hope "Please let me guard her, with everything I have in me. Please don't let her die, because of my fathers' hate" I begged with my head bowed down, afraid of what I might see on their faces.

"I would say yes, but you would bring harm too her Dimitri. Besides our families never liked each other for centuries and-"Alberta stopped herself from adding more negative reasons on why he could not protect her niece. It was easy to see the emotions that were displayed on his face and it allowed Alberta for a change of heart towards at least one of them. Throughout watching her niece growing up, she has noticed that she does attract a lot of the opposite sex, but never in her wildest dream has she thought she would attract a creature known not to love. Yet here it is in front of her as he pleaded to protect the girl that should be his enemy.

"Janine, maybe we could come up with a compromise that would suit us as well as Roses' protection.

"Sister, surely you are not thinking of allowing him to guard her. Do I need to remand of why we hate them?" She turned to look at her sister as she had a plead look of wanting to protect her daughter from a creature that she grow up told to hate. That is something that is different between Janine and her sister Alberta, Alberta believes in change of people even vampires it seemed. She never took the whole hatred from their parents at least not the same way Janine seems to have taken.

"Janine, that's not what I meant" Albertas' patients were always tested when it concerned her sister especially about such things... Rose. "Jane, you know she means that world to me too-"
"She's my daughter not yours"
Sensing the emotions, Dimitri turned around leaving them to have the small privacy that can be found between them. And if he was honest with himself, it was also for the hope of a glance at Rose but that hope was turned down as he could not see her anywhere. Turning back he said, "You know what, don't bother. I don't need to protect her after all she has you lot...

And slowly he turned to leave with the quite Ivan who has been observing the discussion but made sure to give him a knowing look. At that Ivan knew what he was doing and decided to play along as he too walked away as expected just before he was out of view, they heard, "Dimitri wait" Yet he was not satisfied with that and decided to keep walking until they were out of sight.

"What was that for? I thought you wanted them to say yes, not walk away when they call your name" Ivan shakes his head as he walks away further from the mortals.

Dimitri turned and looked at him with a smirk, "Just want them to leave me alone when I do my job...that and the fact that I want them to beg for my help."

"Not going to earn you some future points of bedding their daughter-"Dimitri interrupted his long time friend, backing up backwards Ivan surrounded his hands above his head "What?"

"She is not like that, I don't want her for that" Dimitri declared.

"Really Dim, never thought of that with her?" Ivan smirked as he questioned his friend.

"Maybe but she's different, I don't want her for that alone" He paused before he realized something, "crap I'm whipped"

"Glad you know that" Ivan laughed as he looked at someone who never felt any kind of affection towards other women, needs as they used to say it. "You know, I still don't get why you are like this towards this one human. Many of your past ladies are much easier on the eye and willing to please you in anyway yet you go for that one"

"Ivan?" Dimitri asked nervously.

"Yeah, yeah I won't tell her that... But she will find out sooner or later" Ivan ran in front of his friend to stop him from running and put a hand on his shoulder, "You need to make sure that she is worth it before you start fighting the hole vampire community for her"

"She is" Replied Dimitri without hesitation.

"Then you have me as your supporter. If a girl grabs your attention for more than that reason then she must be worth fighting for besides I needed something to piss most of those bastards off."

Laughing Dimitri playful hit Ivan on his sides, "Come on, I'll race you to my apartment" And with that Dimitri took off in a blink of any eye, well in human eyes.

"Hey that's cheating, you have a head start" Ivan complained as he tried to catch Dimitri with little hope.

Looking back, Dimitri replied, "Come on old man."

Rose

After spending a long time in the bathroom, it still didn't help clear her mind from the thoughts of the mysterious dark haired man. Dimitri. Sighing she slowly gets out of the bath and wraps a towel around her body and making sure it would not slip down as she walks towards her bedroom. She leaves her hair still damped from the shower.

Once she left the room into her bedroom, she immediately went to her closet for her night clothing. Now dressed, she brushed her hair and made sure the water was dripping onto her towel. Looking around her room, she no longer felt the presence of someone's eyes on her and so she dismissed it as being paranoid and walked away from her room and headed down stairs.
I heard the front door open as I headed towards the kitchen for a late night snack. Afraid of what it could be, I picked a knife off the kitchen counter and headed towards the noise. "Put that knife away before you hurt yourself." Gasping Rose dropped the knife and turned around to look at the person who spoke those words...
