How the hell did I end up in this situation? I sighed as I brought my hand to my forehead rubbing it with frustration. I can't believe I was stuck in this SUV sitting between two worst people ever.
"Hey Rose you know if you get tired you can just rest your head on my lap!" Dimitri whispered seductively in my ear. I tried to scoot away, but I bumped into Chris. Chris looked down at me and smiled as he put his arm around my shoulders pulling me closer to him. I glared at him as his smile got wider.
"I know Rose! You wouldn't want to be near that motorcycle junkie," Chris said as he pulled me closer. I can't kill them. I can't kill them. I kept repeating the same words in my head over and over again as I clenched my teeth.
"Who you calling motorcycle junkie? You ice freak!" Dimitri retorted as he rolled his eyes at him. Chris immediately let go of me..Thank god….but I don't want to be in the middle of their petty fight.
"At least I am cool unlike you who just make guns magically appear..Your not a fucking Fairy, Man!"
"WHO YOU CALLING FAIRY!" I'm starting to get a headache.
"YOU APPARENTLY…I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU SPARKLE UNDER THE RED MOON. YOUR ALWAYS IN THE SHADOWS ANYWAYS!" Chris glared at Dimitri as he yelled back. And might I say that they are indeed yelling in my ears.
"LADIES! LADIES! SHUT THE HELL UP!" Li yelled at them from the seat in front of us. Li is sitting in the middle of Rosie and Adalia. While Nick is driving with Sol in the passenger seat. Vasilissa and Mia are in another SUV behind us as look outs.
"Why don't you Fire Brain!" Chris and Dimitri yelled back at the same time. Then realizing their mistake they instantly cowered under her glare.
"What did you just call me!" Li hissed menacingly as she glared at them in the eyes. I felt Chris and Dimitri both shaking in fear next to me.
"uhhhhhh…..we said you were ….a….fire….," Chris started as he looked at Dimitri pleading for help. I rolled my eyes at them for being so dumb about this.
"YESS!" Li hissed daring them to finish.
"We….….yyyou… ….a…fire…" Dimitri stuttered scared for not knowing what to say. Li raised an eyebrow at them making them stiffen in fear.
"OH MY GOD! LI THEY JUST SAID THAT YOU LOOK LIKE A FIRE GODDESS!" I yelled in annoyance shocking them. Li instantly cooled down as she smiled at me.
"Really?" I nodded.
"Yes!" Li happily turned around and resumed talking to Rosie and Adalia.
"You guys owe me one!" I breathed as I rubbed my head. Dimitri and Chris nodded their agreements then went to go stare out the window.
"Hey Nick I got a question?" Nick looked through the mirror as he looked at Li confused.
"Yes?"
"How the hell is it possible for you to have a SUV, cars, and motorcycles here?" I looked ahead at Nick because I was kinda curious about that also.
"Well you see down here in shadowland we use the darkness as our fuel instead of gas. We also have radio." Nick explained.
"But wait. How can this thing suck in the darkness?" I asked curiously.
"We really don't know. We just know that Andre deals with the cars and everything that would use the darkness down here," Dimitri sighed as he looked at me. I smiled weakly at him and nodded my head.
"but Andre told me that this land has so much darkness in it ,but the only people that can take it in is Rose and Noah," Li exclaimed. I looked at her curiously when he told her that?
"True, but Andre also found a way to make things to use the darkness as power. Even if we have all these things to suck in the darkness. We will always have the big amount of darkness in this land as people and Strigoi continue to die and end up here." Dimitri explained again. We all stared at him in shock, well everyone except Nick who just kept driving.
"Whoa! When did you get so smart," I teased as I punched his arm lightly. Dimitri smiled back at me and rubbed his arm.
"I''ve been smart it's not my fault you don't notice it," he pouted at me. I stared as his lips in awe. I couldn't help ,but think about how hot he looks when he pouts. I unconsciously leaned forward towards him. Dimitri eyes never left mine as he leaned also.
"OH MY GOD!" Sol yelled making everyone jump. Dimitri looked forward towards Sol as I jumped back sitting up straight.
"What's wrong Sol?" Rosie asked as she looked her confused.
"I just realized there is no such thing as a dog with a tutu," Sol whispered as she looked at her hands. Everyone in the car groaned in frustration.
"Ugh why did we have to get stuck in the same car as this idiot," Adalia groaned.
"Would you rather be in the same car with Vasilisa and Mia," Rosie inquired. I saw Adalia shiver in her seat as she mumbled her no shakily.
We continued to the journey in silence. I stared out the window seeing the red moon is still up and the sky still the same color. Everything we passed was dead and barren. There would be rocky mountains occasionally but there was no life in them. I sighed as I looked down. I wonder what Dimitri , Lissa, and everyone were doing now. I remember everything all the fun things we did together. All of Dimitri's and I's stolen kisses. The day at the cabin. The attack. Russia. Even when he told me those words. I even remember the look of awe he gave me when he saw me fighting with Li. When he walked out of the house pissed off because of what I said. Our Last Goodbye before I came here. His touch. His smile. His laughs. His lips. I felt my chest tighten as I played with my hands refusing to look up.
"I think we need to listen to music because I am so flipping bored," Sol groaned as she flipped through the radio. I felt my heart clench as I heard the one song I would never want to hear while I am thinking about everyone.
I can be tough
I can be strong
But with you, it's not like that at all
There's a girl
who gives a shit
behind this wall
You've just walked through it
And I remember, all those crazy things you said
You left them riding through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here.
All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.
I love the way you are
It's who I am, don't have to try hard
We always say, say like it is
And the truth is that I really miss
All those crazy things you said
You left them riding through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here.
All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here
[Chorus:]
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.
No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you to know
That I never wanna let go
(let go let go let go let go)
No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you to know
That I never wanna let go
(let go let go let go let go let go let go let go)
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here (I wish you were)
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn,
What I'd do to have you
here, here, here
I wish you were here.
Damn, Damn, Damn
What I'd do to have you
near, near, near
I wish you were here.
Once the song finished I felt silent tears go down my face. I really miss him. I let my hair fall in front of my face not wanting Shadow Dimitri or Chris to see me. I heard Rose, Adalia, Li, and Sol sing along to the next song. Then I felt something warm wrap around my shoulders bring me closer to a muscular body. I immediately knew who it was by the smell of the aftershave and leather. I buried my head in his chest as I continued to cry silently. I know it seems weak and unlike me, but I am just a girl. I went through so much. I miss my family and my Dimitri. Once I was done I look up to see Shadow Dimitri look at me with concern and care in his eyes.
"It's ok!" He whispered as he wiped my tears with his thumb. He smiled weakly at me as I looked down. "Hey," He put his hand under my chin forcing me to look at him in the eyes. His red eyes. "He misses you to ,Roza."
"How you know?" Dimitri gave me the 'are you stupid' look.
"Remember dumbass. I am his shadowpart. I feel what he feels. I know what he thinks. I pretty much know anything about him." I smiled weakly at him and sniffed punching him lightly in the side.
"Idiot! …Thanks, Dimitri," Dimitri let me go pinching my cheeks.
"Don't call me Dimitri, Please. Just call me Dimka. I like it better that way for necessary purposes if you know what I mean," He said wiggling his eyebrows. I punched him in the side really hard once I got what he meant.
"You really know how to ruin a moment,"
"So you admit we had a moment," I looked back at him and smiled.
"Yeah ,but don't go getting a big head. I am still not into you," I scolded.
"But don't deny you feel a connection to me. I probably make you horny on a daily basis." He whispered in my ear. I couldn't help ,but shiver under his hot breath. I guess the cocky dumbass Shadow Dimitri is back. I just sighed and rubbed my head as he just chuckled sitting back.
" CAN YOU HEAR ME CALL! …YOUR SELLING OUT…..BUT I HAVE NEVER!" Li yelled discordantly as her and Sol sang along to the song by the Latency.
"I AM TIRED OF INTEREST I AM TIRED OF FEELING I AM TIRED OF YOU. YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS YOU DON'T WANT TO FEEL THIS . YOU WANT TO BE THROUGH!" Chris sang along as Sol turned up the radio. The SUV vibrated to the beat as they danced. I couldn't help ,but laugh as they danced. Dimitri refused to join in saying that it was childish.
"Aww come on man loosen up." Chris exclaimed as he waved his arms in the air. I laughed at his stupidity.
"No you look like a dumbass. What the hell you doing," Dimitri hissed as he glared at Chris.
"Dancing. What does it look like?" Chris countered as he winked at me. I rolled my eyes and looked forward to see the 'serious' Nick laughing and singing to. Wow who knew he could be fun.
"You look like a chicken who just got his head cut off,"
"What the hell! You calling me a chicken, Fairyman?" Chris glared at Dimitri who just glared back at him.
"Both of you guys stop it. I am tired of your fighting for today," I said. "Dimitri, Chris is right just let loose."
"I will if you will" Dimitri remarked as he wiggled his eyebrows. I rolled my eyes again for like the third time today. Man no matter what the situation is ..this guy will not give up.
I was about to say a retort when the car screeched into a stop. I felt myself slam my head on something warm. I looked up to see Chris put his arm in the way for I won't slam my head into the front seat.
"Nick. What the Hell!" Rosie yelled as she sat back to her seat rubbing her head. "I think I broke a nail." I rolled my eyes and looked ahead out the window. It seemed like there were people…no zombies and ghosts surrounding the SUV. I looked behind through the back window to see Vaslisa and Mia already out of their car and making their way to us.
"ROSIE! ADALIA! SHUT UP AND STOP COMPLAING!" Nick yelled at the whiny girls, Both of them instantly shut up. I felt Chris and Dimitri stiffen. What the hell.
"Nick! Tell me what's going on!" I demanded as I looked at Nick. Nick turned around in the seat to look at me directly in the eye.
"We are in the Valley Of The Corpse and Monsters. They are not the good kind." Nick explained as he looked at me serious. "They will rest at nothing to kill you,"
"What about the Ghost?" I asked as I looked out the window again to see the ghost looking at me with sorrow and it was like they were pleading me for help.
"What Ghost?" Everyone looked at me confused. They can't see them, but why.
Nick sighed and looked at me.
"Rose what you are probably seeing are the lost souls." I looked at Nick with confusion. Lost Souls?
"They are the souls that have nowhere else to go. They just wander wherever they can for eternity. They never reunited with their shadowparts here in shadowland because their shadowpart most likely have died and have not come back in time for them to reunite." So the shadowparts can die? But come back to life? I am so confused. "I will explain everything another time, but for right now. We need to find a way to get away from these 'zombies' as we call them." He is referring to the sickening creatures that are all around the vehicles. Some of them were looking Mia and Vasilisa , who were guarding the outside of the SUV, with blood thirsty eyes.
I looked at the ghost. They looked back at me. It was like they knew I was there. Like they knew I could help them. I want to, but the zombies might kill me. Or worse anyone else. I don't want my carelessness kill anyone. Then I saw more and more ghost appear. They looked at me with sorrow. I felt my chest tighten as I saw ghost of innocent children pleading at me with their eyes. But what can I do?
Please! Help us! I heard their pleas in my head over and over again. I put my hands to my ears trying to block out their voices ,but it only got louder.
"STOP!" I yelled in pain as the voices got so loud that I felt it would pierce my ears.
"ROSE!" I heard Li yell as I felt come on my shoulders. My head felt like it was pounding as more voices came.
"Stop it! Li! Stop them! They won't stop. They are hurting me!" I pleaded. A tear escaped my eyes ,falling slowly down my cheek. I groaned in pain. They won't stop. They are practically yelling in my head. My head feels like it's going to explode.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HER! …." I heard Li yell. I heard more concern voices also, but I couldn't make out what they are saying or who is talking. The ghost's voices and shrieks were drowning anything. My head pounded more as I yelled in pain. I feel as if a train is running over my head continuously.
"Roza. You have to help them. It's the only way." I head Dimitri's voice in my head, but not shadow Dimitri. My Dimitri's.
"How?" I sobbed. I winced in pain because my head. The voices are still shrieking ,but I hear Dimitri's clearly.
"Don't worry, My Roza. You'll figure it out," His voice is fading away.
"Don't go!" I wailed.
"Remember what you promised me. You will….make….itt….backk….too…..meee…" The ghost's drowned out his voice completely.
SAVE US! ROSE! SAVE US! HELP US!
I clutched my head in pain as I made my way to get up. I felt hands try to hold me down, but I just tried with all my strength to get out the car.
"LET ME GO! I NEED TO HELP THEM! LET ME GO NOW!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I felt the shadows wrap around me as I opened the door with such strength that it came off. Once I stepped on the cold dead ground the voices disappeared. I finally opened my eyes to see all the ghost look at me pleadingly and the zombies look at me hungrily. I felt the shadows wrap around me and go into me, but I didn't feel the darkness.
Rose. Please help us! I heard a child's voice say. I looked forward to see a ghost of a little boy who looked around the age of 5. He looked at me with such pleading eyes.
"Okay. Okay just shut up." I sighed as I rubbed my head.
"Rose get in the car," Vasilisa ordered once she and Mia were next to me. I look at them and smiled.
"I need to help them," I whispered as I gestured towards the ghost, but I knew that they couldn't see them. Only me.
"You can't help them. They will kill you, Rose. Just get inside." Vasilisa growled, but I can hear the concern in her voice. I smiled at her. I knew she thought I meant the zombies.
"Since when did you order me around?" I questioned. Vasilisa glared at me, but Mia touched my arm.
"Rose! Please, you are our queen. Understand that we are only ordering you to protect you." Mia said in a stern voice. I looked at Mia in the eyes.
"Mia understand. That I am ignoring you for the same reason. Now I am ordering you both to get inside the vehicles and let me take care of them." I demanded as I looked at both her and Vasilisa.
"As you wish!" Mia sighed in frustration as she grabbed a hold of Vaslisa's arm leading her towards the SUV with everyone else inside.
"WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING!" Vaslisa yelled as she refused to go. Mia just glared at her.
"The queen ordered us to stand down. So WE ARE GOING TO STAND DOWN. UNDERSTOOD!" Mia yelled at her. Vaslisa flinched under her glare.
"Vaslisa please. You and Mia go guard the others." I said. I don't want the others to get hurt. While I am helping the ghost.
Vaslisa just nodded as she went with Mia to the SUV. I sighed as I turned back to the ghost and zombies. Deciding on a way to help them ,but how.
I changed into my shadow element and let the shadows come into me. That's when I got my idea. Let's hope it works.
"Hey all of you! If you want me to help you then you have to help me get rid of all these zombies" I said to the ghost. They all just looked at me and nodded their reply. I smiled.
Good they listened. I turned towards the SUV and lifted my hand making a wall of shadows wrap around the whole SUV. So they won't come and help me. And so nothing can get in and harm them.
I turned back to the ghost. They are waiting for my command to start the attack. They looked at me with determination. I looked to see that the zombies are getting impatient of waiting.
"NOW!" I yelled at we all charged at each other.
Don't fall asleep, they'll find us here
I know a place to disappear
As a voice proclaimed
What we are is the sum of a thousand lies
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are 'til the day we die
Or 'til we don't have the strength to go on
'Til we don't have the strength to go on
Let us cry, let us be
Let us open up our hearts
Without fear of anything
Faith alone is all we need
To traverse this burning bridge
Now before it gets too late
You claim it's fine
But the heart reveals what smiles betray
Your sad, sad eyes gave you away
But don't you know?
aHHHHHH! ROSE TEAMS UP WITH THE GHOSTS! LOL
HOW will Rose help them?
will they beat the zombies...
Will Rose figure out why she heard Dimitri's voice?
