Chapter 3 Aura's?
Chris Brown-Dragomir's P.O.V.
I saw the beautiful girl and her friends. "Come in Rose, Lissa, Mr. Ivashkov, Mr. Ozera, and Mr. Ashford." I said. "Summer, this is Rose Hathaway," I introduced them. Rose smiled weakly, "hi." I continued, "Vasalisa Dragomir." Lissa nodded. "Adrian Ivashkov." Adrian smiled lazily. "Christian Ozera." He scowled. "And Mason Ashford." He glared at me. There was just something about him I didn't like. Summer looked stunned. Mason smiled, then looked at Rose, "Oh god Rose? You have a human twin?" Then his smile faded, "Impossible!"
Adrian Ivashkov's P.O.V.
I smiled a lazy smile at Summer. Damn, she was devastating and she didn't even give me a dirty look for smoking.
Christian Ozera's P.O.V.
I scowled at Chris "Brown". I don't know who he is, but he's Moroi, all right. He smells dhampir too, though… His scent is slightly more dhampir- and he's black- but Moroi are pale… What happened to that anyway? Moroi being pale, I mean? But he is Moroi. That much I know.
Summer Brown-Dragomir's P.O.V.
'This is bad,' I thought, 'people IN our room.' That was when the pretty boy, Adrian, smiled at me, "See somethin' you like," I asked. He shrugged and responded, with a lazy smile, "Of course I see somethin' I like, Summer. It's easy to say what too. Or should I say, who. It's quite the fine piece of artwork." Chris had introduced them all- somehow he'd known her name. Lissa Dragomir! My best friend before we'd left and my cousin. I had heard about the rest of them- poor Andre and my Aunt Rhea and Uncle Eric all died in a horrible accident. That must mean my look-a-like is Rose Hathaway- I mean the lucky to be alive, but really shadow kissed- Rose Hathaway. The infamous slutty Rose Hathaway- kinda like me, actually. From what I've heard, Lissa healed me when I was seven at her party with the Strigoi who had killed my mother. According to Chris and our Guardians, before we left, they bit me and began feeding on me. I shuddered at the thought. Suddenly, Rose made a comment to me. At first, I was thinking too hard to hear, but then what she said captured my attention. Adrian suddenly smiled his standard lazy smile at me and said, "of course I see something I like, Summer. It's easy to see what too. Or should I say who? It's quite the fine piece of artwork." He smiled gazing into my eyes. I don't know why he was looking at me though when Rose was right there. I bit my lip, I was used to this type of attention from guys, but this seemed so sweet somehow.
"Who the hell are you to call me a slut? I'm still a virgin! Unlike you I'm sure. And rumors may be spread about me , but at least I'm worthy of the attention I get. And hey, who the hell do you think you are anyway? I don't even know you! And you sure as hell don't know me!" Rose yelled, she went on, "Besides you have No right to judge me, because- look in the mirror bitch!- We look exactly alike" I was stunned. A million responses crossed my mind, but I went with this one. "Exactly slut, we do look alike, however you knew my thoughts. It's not like I broadcasted them. And on top of that I'm a virgin, whatever u say, that's probably not a term you understand. So don't you dare call me a slut!" "And Ivashkov, why would you like my body when you have a fine easier- to- get girl with my body, right next to you?"
Lissa Dragomir's P.O.V.
I gasped aloud. Summer and Rose were soo alike. I also wondered where the outburst from Rose had come from, it was extremely random. Chris knew me, I could tell, and that's what Rose's twins name was. It wasn't Sunny. It was Summer! I had been on the right track.. Memories came flooding back and I wanted to scream. I remembered it all now, bringing Summer; my best friend back to life, and then never seeing her again.
Summer Dragomir- Brown's P.O.V.
I felt an outburst come from someone, it felt like someone was yelling, actually I felt like it was me, then I realized it was Lissa, my cousin; the only true Dragomir besides Chris and I. (In the human world we went by Brown to protect ourselves from lurking strigoi.) Suddenly I felt a mirror of emotion shooting across to me, like an invisible bond. Immediately after that I saw Rose's face in my head—things were just getting weirder and weirder. I realized it was her feelings and thoughts about Lissa that was mirroring my own. Back to the scene outside of anyones head I turned to Rose. For a minute we just stood there and stared. I'm shadow-kissed I thought to myself. The strigoi didn't just feed off of me. He killed me; Lissaq brought me back. Suddenly Rose was in my head again, only saying something else this time.
Rose Hathaway's P.O.V.
Istared at herthen looked at Lissa, "what the hell do you mean you're shadow kissed?" I shouted "And, Lissa what do you mean this is your cousin? Your best friend? We've been best friends since kindergarten! In order for her to be your cousin she'd have to be a Dragomir. She's just another easy Brown. Look at Chris then look at her. Remember his reputation. He's a fricken player! Just like Adrian! Or so you used to say. But Chris is a Dragomir! These two don't even look like siblings. Chris is black! Stupid- Summer is the same color as me!
Summer Dragomir- Brown's P.O.V.
"Shadow-kissed: it means you've been in the shadows, death" I said sarcastically "And so what if were genetically twisted, or if werwe strangely colored," I asked "Let me guess, you don't believe that I have spirit either right, just cuz I look and act dhampir? Well I do, and on that subject I need a drink!" I walked to the small kitchen and poured myself a cup of chocolate mousse with tequila and walked back. I continued with the previous conversation. "Yes were cousins and used to be best friends, but until now I couldn't even remember her name," I started shouting it. I felt the darkness closing in, "Who are you to judge me," I continued. I really needed a drink. I started downing it.
Lissa Dragomir's P.O.V.
"Rose, do you remember the picture of my cousins on my dresser? Just this morning I looked at it, right before you got there… these are the people in the picture, if you look closely you can see it. And I know you're my best friend, It's just that her and I, summer chris and I used to be so close."
Adrian Ivashkov's P.O.V.
Suddenly Summer's golden and blue aura darkened and I asked her if she would get me a drink. She replied, "Get off your ass and get one yourself." I got up and grabbed myself some chocolate mousse. I laced it with a lot more alcohol than she did. "Why are your auras blue," I asked when I got back. "And by the way Dragomir," I said grinning at Summer, " Rose isn't easy, she plays hard to get, just like you!"
Summer Dragomir-Brown's P.O.V.
"My aura is blue, along with Chris's, because were genetically fluked, I've never met anyone like us, ¾ dhampir. The only thing/ things I have or need from the moroi world is 1. the power to wield spirit and 2. the need for blood." I said bitterly. "As I said before, I know I'm weird and twisted, at least genetically. Get over it!" My voice was slowly creeping up again. I was starting to get drunk, but still hadn't put spirits effects on hold. Rose responded. "I already know your weird and twisted, Sum-Bum" No one had noticed me leave, pour myself a drink (full of tequila) and see that I was drunk.
Chris Brown- dragomir's P.O.V.
I smiled brightly at Rose, "You do seem hard to get. Wonder if I could make that crumble?" Rose gave me a knowing look, "You sure as hell can try," she replied.
Adrian Ivashkov's P.O.V.
I looked at Chris, "What element do you specialize in?" I was well on my way to being drunk, but I could still see auras. His was neon blue with gold streaks. He turned and smiled at me na dI erupted into cool (cold) flames. They weren't burning me, but they sure as hell were freaky. He got the flames to stop and I finished my drink.
