Another month passed and the queen and Lissa grew closer. She was practically her right hand. Some said that the queen was making Lissa her heir. The meetings were endless and training with Adrian was mentally exhausting. It was as I was going to crash any second. Apparently Adrian noticed, " Rose," I now figured out that he only called me rose when he was being serious " you need rest. We'll stop the training sessions."
" No I'm fine."
"Your not fine, I can tell, you may hide it well. Nevertheless, you're my guardian and you're my friend I know you well enough now. Besides this place is safe there won't be any attacks soon." He touched my cheek ''Get some rest." He walked to his room. I touched my cheek where his hand was: it was burning. I shook my head, no I loved Dimitri and I always would."
I sighed and headed to my room. I fell asleep but it wasn't peaceful it was a nightmare. I was reliving the day I killed Dimitri 'I was in Siberia, running through the sewers. Then I saw him he looked the same except for his eyes, they were dark crimson' He stared at me then lunged I found myself on the sewer floor. " Rose how nice to see you, I didn't think you'd find me this quickly or I would have gotten us some privacy" Other figures came out "So have you come to join us." I raised the stake to his back
"No I've come to kill you.' With that, I plunged the stake in to him.
His eyes started to change back to there normal color " Roza." He gasped. He was on the sewer floor " Thank you." He gasped out before the light left his eyes.
I woke up crying and someone stroking my tears away. "Sshh everything's okay. Go back to sleep."
I squinted it was Adrian: I closed my eyes again as he continued to stroke my face. After awhile I felt him stop, I surprisingly missed his touch when I felt him get up. I sucked in my breath as I felt him place a small kiss on my lips. I felt electricity run through my body. " I love you little dhamphir." That night I had another dream.
This time I was in standing in front of the cabin near the academy. In front of the cabin was Dimitri. " Is this real?"
He chuckled " You may be dreaming Rose but this is real. You have Lissa to thank for that."
"You can be here because I'm shadow kissed." He nodded.
" I can't be here for long but Rose you must listen to me." I nodded " I love you Rose and always will but you must move on. Live you life make the most of you have." I had tears in my eyes " He loves you Rose, give him a chance." My mouth opened. He pulled me in to a hug and kissed me on my cheek. " Thank you Rose for everything giving me your love and thank you for saving me from myself. However, I have to return and you have to give your love to another.
I woke and smiled, the heaviness in my heart was practically gone: I knew I would never forget Dimitri but like he said I had to live my life. Boy was Adrian in for a surprise.
