"Rose, I arranged a dinner in your honor. You and Dimitri are expected to come." Lissa said.
"Who will be guarding you?" Dimitri asked dryly.
"Christian's guardian."
"Okay, what time?"
"Six," Lissa said. "Be there on time."
"Okay," Dimitri chimed in. It was four thirty already. I rushed Dimitri out so I could get ready. I chose a dark green dress, with a silk lining, it was short about four or five inches above the knee. I had green high heels, and a black necklace, with the ring Dimitri gave to me. I put on green eye shadow and lip gloss with mascara.
I entered the ballroom, sadly with no one but Lissa at my side. Everyone turned around, with champagne glasses in their hand. They all looked at the both of us like we were the last beautiful women alive. I thought they were starring at Lissa, but when we parted all eyes were on me.
"God Rose I expected beautiful, but this is, wow." Dimitri said.
Threw the night many Moroi came up and congratulated me. Adrian's aunt was there, I was scared half to death to look at her, but when I glanced over at her our eyes locked. Fury and fiery rage burned in her eyes. Dimitri pulled my face toward him and pointed to Adrian's father approaching our table.
"Hello Rose." He greeted me lightly and couldn't look at me.
"What's wrong with everyone?" I whispered to Dimitri.
"You look beautiful tonight and your skin is positively glowing radiance. Your to beautiful to be looked at." He grabbed my hand and walked me to the dance floor, where there a spotlight turned on to our body's as we pressed ourselves to each other. He looked deeply in my eyes.
"There going to have to stare." He whispered into my ear.
"What are you doing? I'm no good at dancing." I whispered lightly to him.
"Just follow me."
We traveled all over the dance floor. He took my hand and threw my body until are arms were at the edge of dislocating and quickly twirled me back into his arms were we danced until the final beat of the song. At the end everyone clapped. Dimitri walked me out of the room, were everyone starred at us in the hallway. The moroi parted away for us. We walked out into the cold wind and the snow. To the porch, one of the many places I had fought for my life at.
"You were amazing, Roza." He smiled softly at me and are lips parted into a soft kiss. After a few seconds it stopped and I felt light headed. He walked me to the stairs, and to a room I had never really been allowed in, his room. When we walked in a warm fire burned by the love seat where he and I both sat. He pulled me to his lap and pulled me close to his chest.
"I'm so sorry I shouldn't have left you by yourself to go and kill them."
