Thanks to dimka-roza-belikova for this idea. I don't own Vampire Academy.
When we were all dressed and ready, we headed downstairs. Sonya was now doing the housework because Olena was ill, and she'd made us that yummy black bread. She'd never told me what was in it, and I didn't think I wanted to know. During breakfast, there was a knock at the door. Viktoria went to get it, and she brought back a young woman.
"Rose?" she gasped.
"Sydney?" I asked at the same time. "What are you doing here?"
"I was asked by Abe to come and see if I could help Olena Belikova. What are you doing here?"
"I was asked by Viktoria to come and help Olena Belikova."
"Hmmmm. What have you got so far?"
"Nothing. We're eating." She shook her head as she saw the amount og bread on my plate,
"You're going to deprive this family of their food." Dimitri and I grinned, at ease with Sydney around. The others, however, wanted to know what she was doing here. I took a lot of explaining about how we knew her blah blah blah. Whatever. I wanted to get on and help Olena.
Lissa went over to her and pressed her hands on her arm. She was probably conjuring up the magic, although I couldn't feel it without the bond anymore. Thank God Alberta had made be do the field experience with Christian instead. We all watched curiously as Olena just laid there and looked at Lissa. Lissa finally stopped healing. She fell backwards and panted. I caught her in my arms and helped her back up.
"You okay?" I asked her.
"Yeah. Fine. I have absolutely no idea what sort of illness you have, Olena. I'm sorry, but it may take some time to figure it out."
"Of course. That's fine," Olena told her.
"Does Oksana still live here?" Dimitri wondered.
"Yes, she does."
"Who's Oksana?" Lissa wondered.
"She's a friend of ours that uses spirit. She's bonded to her husband."
"Oh! Yes, let's go and see them." We said goodbye to the Belikovs, although Viktoria insisted on coming with us. Trudging to Oksana's house, I noticed something was up with Sydney. She looked in a bit of a daze. I nudged her and she looked back at me.
"What's up with you then, little miss I'm-in-a-dream? You look like you've fallen in love."
"I think I have," she murmured. Oh. Crap. Sydney's fallen in love?
"With?" I prompted. She avoided the question.
"Are spirit dreams always that...real?"
"Yep. Who's been visiting you?" She looked guilty.
"Adrian Ivashkov." My eyes widened. No way! He hadn't spoken to me since our previous 'heated discussion', but from what I'd heard, he'd become a bit of a flirt monster. I couldn't have him messing with Sydney.
"Sydney, you can't. He's dangerous."
"Dangerous?" she scoffed. "I think you're just jealous that I'm in love with your old boyfriend."
"No I'm not! I'm perfectly happy with Dimitri." He turned and gave me a questioning look, so I lowered my voice. "He'll heart your heart. Do you know how many girls he messes with?"
"Yes, Rose. But he's my age. And he's such a charmer, and he's, oh, so gorgeous too." Yes, I could see her point. I mentally slapped myself for thinking it just as Lissa shot me an accusing glance. Damn. I'd forgotten about her creepy mind-reading. So Adrian was in love with Sydney. Of course, she hadn't dropped the bombshell yet. "And he's coming here."
"What?" I yelled. Polina scolded me for not being in guardian form, so I had to leave it at that. I'd also forgotten how strict guardian rules were for the Queen. I hoped that Lissa would cut us some slack. We reached Oksana's house.
"I think I should go up first," Dimitri declared.
"Are you sure? You might give her a heart attack," I laughed. He rolled his eyes and knocked on the door. So, what did you think? Too much crazy spirit? Did you like the crazy spirit? 3 please review
