It was about a day before we reached the camp. Dimitri and I had been there a few years ago with Sydney, so everyone knew us. We were welcomed with cheering and slaps on the back, and a grand dinner of stew, cider, and apple pie. It was hard for me to enjoy being there when I had my mind on Lissa. I couldn't stop wondering what really happened that morning. Dimitri woke me up, Lissa was a Strigoi, then we escaped. How did Lissa become Strigoi? Why did Dimitri not kill her? Why weren't we watching her all night? I was pulled out of my thoughts by someone tapping my shoulder.
" You look like you're doing some very serious thinking there, Roza." Dimitri's soft,warm voice soothed my confused brain. I sighed.
" I just can't figure out what really happened that night. How did Lissa even become a Strigoi?" Dimitri sat down next to me on a log by the big bonfire the camp had started. The light from the flame cast a shadow on his face, illuminating the other side with golden light. He sighed, frowning.
" I don't remember what happened. Just that Lissa Became Strigoi and that I had to save you." A sudden idea formed in my head.
"What if the Strigoi that turned Lissa used compulsion on us?!" I exclaimed, excited that we were actually getting somewhere.
" That's possible." Dimitri said, coming out of his daze.
" Okay, so where do we start?"
" I'll see if I still have any Strigoi connections and we'll start the search tomorrow." Dimitri replied, pulling out his new iPhone. I'm surprised he still had reception out here. After the calls were made, we both drifted off into a restless sleep, dreading the days to come.
