I leaned back against the door and slid down to the floor. I was exhausted. This day was from hell and I was ready to throw my own personal Rose Hathaway welcome to your sucky life party. I sat there for a while wondering how things had gotten this far out of control. I used to be happy, Lissa and I against the world. Well more like the world against Lissa; and me against the world I guess. But it was simple. I knew my purpose, knew my role and I loved her so it all made sense. My life wasn't perfect but it was clear. Now nothing was clear, Dimitri's introduction to my world had changed everything. He had brought so much to my life and I …
"You don't trust me" my voice was ridden with angst. " You think I am some poor pathetic girl who can't handle her powers and needs to be protected from herself. Here she can't handle anything give her some pills and keep her in check."
" You used compulsion on me" he growled but it was gentle in a way, and pain filled. It was then that I realized I had been sucked into Lissa's head and right into an intense fight with Christian.
" I did no such thing" her voice sounded indignant. I might have bought it, if I hadn't been able to feel her guilt over lying to him. I was looking through Lissa's eyes and from the intensity in them; we both knew he wasn't buying it. I thought I was the only one who knew Lissa that well, apparently Christians' been paying attention.
He turned from her, looking across her room to her open closet door. She glanced up just as her new beautiful wardrobe went up in flames. She dove for him " Christian what are you doing, are you crazy? Stop!" she screamed hands coming up to her mouth as she stared at him in shock turning away from the scorching fabrics. "Why would you do that" Lissa spoke softly, defeated.
"Do what" he said like nothing had happened. I had always worried Christian was borderline psychotic but I had let up a little lately seeing how much He and Lissa loved each other. I was envious of it, because my love life was so tortured. But I also felt like how could I be the one to interfere, knowing what I would do for love, who was I to judge. Wow, Dimitri was really affecting me, I am becoming much more brooding and thoughtful lately. I am not so sure I like it; being evolved is not all its cracked up to be.
"Do what!, you just burned my clothes, you have lost it Christian, completely lost it." She was right as much leniency that I felt towards the guy lately he had just burnt her wardrobe to a crisp! He was certifiable.
" I didn't burn your clothes," he stated matter of factly.
She whirled back to her closet, seeing everything was there in perfect condition.
" You're a jerk, she stammered. I didn't deserve that."
" I really don't know what you are talking about," his tone was starting to bug me, I knew what he did it was like that day with Raff when he was harassing Lissa and I in Biology and Christian had placed flames around him, making it look like he was burning and diminishing Raff to a screaming baby. Christian's element was fire and he was really really good at controlling it. Lissa knew what he was doing too. and she knew she deserved it too. Their eyes met and she stepped forward closer to him. He stood his ground he didn't come closer to her didn't move an inch to concede to her body. He just stood their hands in his pockets. But in his eyes the love that shone was so strong. They still held anger, and pain but the love never relinquished.
"I didn't use compulsion on you," she whispered. He let out a sigh as she placed her palm against his chest.
"Yeah just like I didn't light your clothes on fire. You invaded my dreams Lissa; played with my mind! Your out of control, can't you see that? He continued without giving her the chance to speak. I don't want you practicing with Ishkov anymore I blame him for all of this! And I want you to start taking your pills again all the time."
"Christian I understand that you are upset, but really what did I do so wrong. She walked around him coming up along side of him so she could put her lips against his earlobe. "I appeared in your dream? I would hope I often appear in your dreams like you do in mine. I teased you a little played with my powers, a little test on my boyfriend to see if I could control his reaction to my body, That's what you have a problem with! I thought you like when I teased you." Oh she was good.
Christian was caving, his hands out of his pockets one of them dangling low as he wrapped an arm around her waist. "You are my dreams." He gripped her into a tight passion drenched kiss. I had to force my way out of Lissa's head, apparently this fight was over, Lissa had won and I didn't want to witness the victory celebration.
When I slipped back in to my own reality, I realized I was still on the floor against the bedroom door. I stood up sore from the inside out. I was tired and I needed a shower.
I stepped into the shower and let the hot water rush over me. But I just couldn't wash the day away. It all swirled through my brain each troubling moment or thought taking it's turn before being swished to the side for the day's next tragedy. Just the thought of what happened between Dimitri and I caused a physical ache in me. I had no solutions to this problem. I beat my fist against the shower wall; it felt good letting some of the frustration out. The fight between Lissa and Christian was really weighing on my mind also and for a number of reasons. First Lissa was wrong, I loved her but what she did; it was wrong, it was just like with Adrian. He didn't control my thoughts but he invaded my dreams, creating his own scenarios and denied me a very private place. How could Lissa due that to someone she loved? How could she not see how wrong that was? What bothered me even more was the way she won the fight. Lissa was sweet, she was beautiful and I know Christian had great passion for her; I had too many times been sucked in to her mind during their close encounters to deny that. But their love had always been sweet. Love that was innocent and pure. This was different, she was different I sensed it while I was in her head. She wanted to win! She used her body to get her way. Used Christian's attraction to her to get her way. That wasn't my Lissa, this person was manipulative. I realized quickly why it bothered me so much it did remind me of someone. It reminded me of Adrian.
