Chapter 7 – RPOV

I woke up to see bright lights glaring down at me. I blinked the fuzziness from my eyes. I sat up to find I was in the nurse's office.

What was I – Oh! It all came back too me at once. Dylan attacked me, then we made up, and I pass out on the way back to the gym. I heard faint voices outside the door.

A couple minutes passed and I got up from the excuse of a "hospital bed", and walked over to the door while fixing my hair.

As soon as I walked out all conversation was stopped abruptly and I was smothered with hugs.

"I can't breath!" I gasped in the ears of Dylan. I knew it was Dylan because Dylan was the only one who gave me bear hugs.

Dylan put me on the ground and I stepped away to look at who was all here. Dylan, Daniel, Caroline, and Lonie were all here. Did I mention all the girls hate me or ignore me? Well they do. Only Lonie is my actual friend who is a girl and is my friend. It's only because she's a lesbian.

Once I saw Daniel I ran straight toward him and gave him a kiss. He of course caught me and gave me sweet kiss back. Someone cleared their throats and we both pulled away.

Ms. Osiris stared at me expectantly I just stared back defiantly. She rolled her eyes at me but didn't say anything else.

"Well Miss Hathaway it seems like there is nothing wrong with you. So you can go home now." I looked at the time on my phone. Wow! It was 2:59 pm – guess there's an upside to passing out in school.

"'Kay," I said back. Caroline was standing off to the side awkwardly, being very silent. I turned to look at her and found her gaping at me it was kind of uncomfortable. Dylan chuckled at her expression and led her out to their waiting car.

Dylan popped back in and said "goodbye". Lonie (A.K.A Lanilia) hugged me and told me that we were going shopping next Friday. When I'd asked her what was wrong with this Friday she told me that she had a date,

I agreed for next Friday and she left. Then Daniel and I walked out.

"So are you riding with me or do you already have a ride?" I asked on the way to my car.

"No besides I have something to do and I'd rather not have you there," He explained dismissively.

"Oh really, so what is it that you don't want me to see?" I asked not really in the mood for riddles. Apparently he wasn't in the mood for my curiosity, because he gave me the look.

That special "look" is annoying but, "I'll let this one pass but next time I won't," I warned him. He just smiled and said "Thanks babe." Daniel leaned down to kiss me.

"Rose!" Damn! So close! I smiled and turned around. Dimitri, I sighed. Daniel put a possessive arm around my waist I just rolled my eyes.

"What's up Dimitri?" I responded cheerfully. Dimitri raised an eyebrow at me. Cool I've always wanted to do that. "Nothing, so I heard you passed out in class you okay?" He asked concerned. "Yea I'm fine. I was just exhausted, you know lack of sleep," I explained with an easy smile. He nodded, "So I guess I'll see you around," He said looking for his car.

"Yea sure," I barely got before he ran off. "That was rude," I muttered leaning against Daniels chest. "Who was that?" Daniel asked leading me to my car.

"That my pretty boyfriend," He raised his eyebrows at me, I ignored him. "Is Dylan's and my new friend Dimitri," I finished opening my door.

"Babe I'm not just "pretty" I'm drop dead sexy," He smirked. I chuckled "No,no,no, honey I'm drop dead sexy, but whatever helps you sleep at night," I smiled my man-eater smile.

Daniel pouted I grinned. Then kissed his jutted out lip, he kissed me back and pushed me up against my car. I smiled but pulled away while pushing him back. "Goodbye Daniel," I smiled. "Bye babe," he gave me a kiss on the cheek before heading off.

I shook my head and climbed in my car. I thought about Dimitri he was acting weird and there was something up with the air around him. It was like he wasn't- wait what was I thinking it's probably nothing.

I also felt like I was being watched. I looked were I thought I was being watched and thought I saw movement but when I simply stared there was none.

Oh well it probably was nothing. I looked at the place one more time, before I took off to the shop. Fuck! Great now I have to explain why I'm late.

DPOV- (When Teen Dimitri walks up to Rose.)

I looked at the boy who was approaching Miss Hathaway. What! I looked close at the fellow he looks just like I did when I was in high school. Something was wrong and I was going to find out.

Teenage me talked to Rosemarie for a bit before he had to go. Miss Hathaway and the boy she'd kissed (in the nurse's office) were walking to her vehicle talking. They engaged in a goodbye kiss the she drove off.

My men and I followed her to a shop where she engaged conversation with her boss. Her boss seemed concerned so she was probably telling her that she'd passed out.

A couple hours later she got a call and closed the shop. She was headed home; my guys and I followed her in the van. She went in and a couple minutes later her boss showed up.

So she lives with her boss or her boss is her mother. It doesn't add up though if she was a dhamphir than her mother would have to be Janine Hathaway. It also confuses me because Guardian Hathaway's record says she didn't have a child, that it was a miscarriage.

Yup something definitely was up. A few boring hours later they went to bed. Guardian Tanner suggested we head to hotel. I agreed with him. We got four rooms for each of us.

I phoned Princess Vasilisa and told her the events of the day. She agreed my suspicions. She told me to continue watching her and she hung up. I lay there thinking about everything I had found out. None of this is making sense. The fight between Rose and the boy in the gym, it was so strange. Then seeing teenage me just made it that much stranger.

I sighed. There is so much here I need to figure out. Rosemarie Hathaway sure is a mysterious girl. A puzzle of some sort, one that I will solve. Who knew taking up this task for the Princess would make me so confused yet very intrigued all together. Well Dimitri you sure have gotten yourself into something haven't you? The wondrous beauty of Rose it the last thing going through my mind. I roll over and close my eyes drifting into a peaceful much needed sleep.
