Chapter Seven –

"Rose! Stop you're hurting yourself!" Dimitri yelled.

"Just leave me alone Comrade." I yelled back.

He tried to move closer to me but I lashed out with a fist and caught him right smack in the jaw. I knew it would leave a mark and that I would be sorry later for it.

"Rose! Snap out of this!"

"You don't understand, you don't get it do you Comrade?" I screamed.

He flinched at my outburst. I pushed him backwards with as much force as I could muster before moving towards the door of the cabin. Just as I reached the door he blocked it with his body.

"Get out of my way Comrade!"

"No."

I started to beat my fists against my mentor's chest. I hit him repeatedly until he grabbed me by the wrists. He held my wrists tightly that I couldn't brake away from his tight grip. I had forgotten about my legs for a moment and so had Dimitri.

"Let me go!"

"No this isn't you, Roza."

I made my move and kicked him with my leg. The only problem was it was the leg that was hurt. I had forgotten about it. I'd barely gotten three feet from his clutches when he seized me again and pushed me onto the bed.

I knew it was impossible to try to break free of his clutches but I couldn't think straight.

"Let me go!" I yelled as I tried to free my hands.

"No." He said, voice hard and almost desperate.

"Not until you calm down. This isn't you!"

"No! You're not getting it, this is me!"

"It's not. It isn't you! It isn't you." I could hear the agony in his voice.

"You're wrong! It is…"

Hot tears stained my face as I looked up into those deep brown orbes. I saw the panic in his eyes. I suddenly realized he was right. It wasn't me. I was acting like, like Lissa. It was happening to me. I was the same as she'd been, so caught up, so lost in those emotions that I didn't even recognize my own actions.

I had taken the darkness, a side effect from spirit. Since I was bonded to my best friend Lissa I sometimes absorb some of it but it had never been this bad.

"Rose," Dimitri said.

Slowly the darkness faded away. I stopped fighting him. My body began to tremble and shake with fear. Dimitri seemed to realize that my anger had gone and he released his hold.

"Oh my God," I whispered.

He wrapped his arms around me and I buried my face in his chest. I squeezed my eyes shut.

"I'm going crazy just –just like Anna." I sobbed.

"No you're not."

How could one man have such faith in me? I didn't have that same faith in myself. I had completely snapped. Taking the darkness from Lissa was it just the beginning? What if I become like Anna?

I didn't realize that I had been deep in thought. Dimitri had been trying to say something to me.

"Uh?"

"Rose," he breathed. " Are you ok?"

I swallowed back more tears "No…there going to give up on us Dimitri. I –I saw Lissa and Christian talking. The guardians…it will be too late…"

He pulled away so that he could look into my eyes. He cupped my face in his hands.

"No Roza. They will find us but there is no point in them moving in that storm. You saw what it's like out there."

He was right of course. It had been crazy out there in that snowstorm and it would only get worse before it got better.

I looked up into his eyes and seeing the love there. It made my heart ache –I loved this man so much. I pulled him closer to me again and our lips met. The kiss was gently and filled with such love that I thought my heart would burst.

"I love you, Roza." Dimitri whispered.

"I love you too, Dimitri."

He smiled one of those rare smiles that lit up his entire face it even reaching his deep brown eyes. I knew by the look he was giving me that he loved me more than anybody else in the world. I loved him more than anyone else too.

Sparks began to fly as his mouth met mine again. Our kisses become more and more passionate. We eventually broke away from the kiss and lay there on the bed in each other's arms.

I leaned my head against my Russians chest. I felt safe there as his strong arms embrace my body. He stroked my long dark hair and whispered to me in his native tongue. I didn't speak Russian but his tone soothing me as I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

I hadn't been asleep for long when suddenly I found myself back in Lissa's head once more. She had calmed down since I had last been dragged into her head through the bond. But even thought she was calmer there was something there –something I couldn't quite put my finger on.

She was in her dorm room back in St Vladimir's Academy. There was a lot of commotion going on outside and I wondered what was going on out there. I could feel through the bond that Lissa too was curious.

I watched as Lissa walked towards the door of her dorm room and walked down the corridors. She stopped some people but nobody seemed to know what was going on. I could see my fellow Novice guardians and Moroi talking in hushed tones.

I could feel Lissa's emotions growing stronger and I started to worry. I mentally tried to tell her to calm down. Sometimes I wished that this bond was a two-way thing and that she too could see what I was seeing.

She came to a stand still when she saw Guardian Petrov and my mother Janine Hathaway. What was she doing at the Academy? They stopped talking when they notice Lissa was standing only a few feet from them.

My mothers stood there looking like her bad ass self. Something had to be up if she was back at the academy. Usually nothing would tear her away from the Moroi she protected.

" May I help you Vasilisa?" Alberta asked her.

"Guardian Petrov, Guardian Hathaway what is going on?"

I saw Alberta and my mother glance at each other before they turned back to her.

Ok you guys I hope you liked this chapter! Ohhh, whats going on back at the academy?

This chapter hasn't been proof read as my friend didn't have a chance to check it for me. I want to know if you would like to see Dimitri and Rose to go back to the academy like nothing happened or…if you think they should acknowledge it! Any other ideas are always welcome and please don't forget to review!
