Now the next chapter will be the last chapter..for real this time lol..
I would like to give a big thank you to my Beta Chocorose64. Thank yee so much :)
Well here is the next chapter…ENJOY :)
"Christian what are you sorry for?" I repeated.
"I bit…Oh god Rose! What have I done?" He said sobbing.
I didn't get what he meant until I let the words sink in. the words 'I bit'
stood out to me. Then it dawned on me what he had meant.
I backed away from him "How could you?" I accused.
I started to turn and I bumped into Dimitri. Sorrow filled his eyes as he
stared into mine. He tried to grab for me but I was already running for the
door. I pushed myself into her head, finally getting through, and she was in
the infirmary. I changed direction making my way there at my fastest speed.
I busted threw the doors making some people jump and other scream. I looked
around the room until I spotted Liss lying in a bed staring up at a ceiling.
She had a cast covering her left leg and a few bandages here and there. I
walked over to the bed.
"Is it true?"
She looked over at me confused a little "Is what true?"
"Christian." was all I said.
She bowed her head confirming it. "They made him do it." She said.
"And you just let him?" I hissed.
"If he didn't they would have killed me." She said looking up into my eyes
begging me to believe her.
"When did he bite you?" I don't know why I asked this question, it just seemed
right.
She looked back down once again and I knew I wasn't going to like her answer.
"Right before they turned him." She said starting to cry.
"Did he bite you afterwards?" I asked.
She shook her head.
I sat down on the bed and pulled her to me, I let her cry out all of her pain
on me while I stroked her hair and telling her that everything was fine now
and that she was safe. She stopped crying a little while later. She pulled
back and looked at me with a tear stained face.
"Rose. I'm so sorry." She hiccuped.
I wiped the rest of the tears away "Liss you have nothing to be sorry for.
This is all my fault. I should have made you came with me. I didn't want you
here because this is where Damon would be. In doing so I let him have you." I
said the last part in a shameful whisper.
"No. You did what you thought was best. You would have never known. None of us
did." She said thinking back on it all.
"What happened?"
She went from detail to detail, knowing that I would want to know everything.
"If I would have listened to Zeek none of this would have happened."
"What do you mean?"
"He said that it was getting late and that we should leave but I just had to
go to one more store."
Even though I shouldn't have I chuckled "Well that's you Liss."
She smiled weakly, "But that's what caused all of this." She was quite for a
moment, thinking about what happened.
"I don't know where they all came from. Rose they-"
"How many?" I questioned cutting her off.
"Maybe thirty or more. All I know is that there were a lot."
"He thought I was with you. He must not know about Aiden." I said more to
myself. I shook my head "anyways continue."
She studied me for a moment "They came and attacked. One of the Guardians went
down immediately, that's when Christian started to help." I smiled at the
thought of that. "He only lit them on fire enough to distract them. The
Strigoi were going down quick." She paused taking a deep breath "And then out
of nowhere Damon showed up and knocked Christian unconscious and ri…" Sh
took a second deep breath. "He ripped the rest of the guardians throats
open."
I cringed at the thought of that. I hated the fact that Liss had had to see
it.
"After that he blind folded me and I was thrown into a car. He was screaming
at the others that were left, to grab Christian and get rid of the
guardians."
"Liss I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen." I said looking at my
hands.
"Rose none of this is your fault." She said again.
"What happened after that?" I asked not caring whether she thought it was my
fault or not. Because it was my fault and I wasn't going to sit there and
argue with her about it.
"Well I heard Damon talking on the phone then something was thrown at me. I
don't know what it was but it fractured my leg."
"Liss if I would have known -"
"It's fine you didn't know." She said cutting me off.
I nodded my head.
"After that we got into a plane and were brought here. They took my blind fold
off and Christian was awake." She said starting to cry. "They said if he
didn't feed from me they would kill me." She sobbed "He told them to ** off.
They got angry at that and shoved his face near my neck. This one came up
behind me and pulled my hair until my neck made a weird noise." She cringed at
remembering the noise.
"The same Strigoi said if he didn't do it now they would kill me and they
pulled a little harder. He cried as he bit me. He didn't drink from me. He
just bit and let go." She said crying even harder.
I pulled her against me, once again letting her cry everything out. She lifted
her head up to look at me. Tears still steaming out of her beautiful jade
green eyes.
"That's when Damon turned him."
I pushed her back against the bed. I was shocked; Damon doesn't turn them
unless he would be gaining something from that person. Damon's not the type to
swap spit so to say.
"Damon turned him?"
"Yes. He said something about Dimitri afterwards but I didn't catch it."
Why the hell would Dimitri's name be coming out of his mouth?
"Then you came and well, you know the rest." She finished.
"Christian is okay now. He's back to himself. Would you like me to get him for
you?"
She nodded wiping away the tears.
I got up and leaned down kissing her forehead and left.
I made my way to the thrown room. I ran what Liss had said over again in my
head. The more I thought about it the more it ** me off. I wanted Damon's head
on a platter. He crossed a line taking Liss and he was going to pay in a very
brutal way.
I turned the corner and Dimitri was walking my way.
"Why did you go alone?" He asked as he approached me.
"Because I had to get her Dimitri. I wasn't waiting for anyone. They could
have killed her." I snapped.
"You should have called me Rose. YOU could have been killed." He snapped right
back.
I sighed and started to rub the bridge of my nose "I'm sorry Dimitri. But I
had to get her. I don't know what I would have done if they had killed her."
He wrapped me in his arms "I was so worried about you. I don't know what I
would have done if I lost you."
I leaned up and kissed him. "I'm one tough cookie comrade. I'm not going
anywhere." I said. He gave me a small smile. I know I shouldn't have
said the last part because I didn't know what would come in the next couple of
hours.
"Come on Liss wants to see Christian."
He let go of me and grabbed my hand and we made the rest of our way to the
thrown room.
Once in there I found Christian tied to a chair and Guardians surrounding him.
I felt my temper raise its ugly head.
"What the ** is going on?" I yelled.
"He could still be a risk. So we tied him up."He said.
"Does he look like a ** 'risk' to you?" I roared taking a step towards him
pointing at Christian who had hung his head and his shoulders were shaking.
"Roza calm down." Dimitri said pulling me back.
I spun on my heels to face him "No I will not calm down. What they are doing
is **."
I ripped out of Dimitri's grip and walked over to Christian who was now
staring at me with wide eyes. I pulled out my switch blade and cut the ropes
pulling him up and out of the chair.
"Lissa wants to see you." I said in my most calm voice.
He nodded and we began to walk towards the door. The guardians that were
surrounding Christian were now blocking the door.
"Guardian Hathaway we cannot let you out of this room with him." one said
I scoffed "And how do you plan to stop me?"
"You can't take all of us." He said with way to much confidence.
I was about to respond when Dimitri blocked my line of sight.
"She won't have to." he growled.
They said nothing. I grabbed Dimitri's arm so that he was facing me "Take
Christian, Please."
He nodded and stepped back. I walked towards the one who had talked and got in
his face.
"You still think you can take me?" I whispered
he swallowed visibly and shook his head.
I patted his cheek "Didn't think so. Now move."
And they parted; just like the sea did for Moses.
I let Dimitri pass first with Christian just in case one of them decided to
grow the balls at the last second. We all walked out no problems.
"Thank you Rose." Christian said.
"Don't mention it. I mean for real, don't, it could be bad for my rep." I
joked.
This got a small chuckle out of him. The rest of the walk was done in silence.
We got to the infirmary and he ran to Lissa.
I stayed at the doors with Dimitri.
"Thank you for stepping up like that."
"I will do anything for you Roza."
I know, that's what scares me."
We were silent after that just watching them talk.
"Dimitri, if something happens I want you to know I love you with all my heart
and I'm very glad you came into my life."
"Rose, don't talk like that."
I didn't say anything I just grabbed his neck and brought him down to my lips
and kissed him like it was the last time I would.
Somewhere in between our kissing the alarms started to go off.
So next is the part everyone has been waiting for :)
So Love It? Hate It? Just let me know..
XoXo
