Chapter 8
CHRISTIAN POV
I walked down one of the Academy's corridors, lost in thought. My mind was racing as I considered the multitude of fears and issues that it assaulted me with. My mind continued to torture me with fears over Lissa, fretting over her fate, what was happening to her.
'God, what if she's...they're hurting her right now, torturing her…?' I thought worriedly. 'What could be happening to her; when, when did she last feed?'
All these thoughts and even more worries raced again and again through my mind. With a tried groan I rubbed my eyes and shook my head.
This was going to destroy me if I let it. 'I have to calm down; since I can't do anything, I have to rely on Rose. She was right about one thing, if anyone can find Lissa, it's her.'
Taking a deep breath and trying to calm down; I kept telling myself that and the best I could do, what with not being able to do anything due to the 'rules' put in place, was simply to wait. I wasn't happy about that, but I couldn't see anything else to do about it, especially as I wouldn't even know where do begin searching.
Wondering if I could find any details that might change things, I made my way towards the main hall of the Academy, from there planning to do some snooping in the administration wing.
However it was in the main hall that I got my first clue; for when I entered the main hall, I was just in time to see a strange Moroi man entering the Academy.
'Who, who is this...what is he doing here?' I couldn't help but wonder.
I tried to shake my head and focus on my original intention, until I saw the man heading to the same area I was planning to head for anyway. Shaking my head and realizing that I was going to get my answers anyway I subtly began to follow him.
Slipping into the administration wing, I began to sneak after the man, looking around to make sure nobody could see me. I stopped and hid when the man stopped, I was worried he was about to turn around. Peeking out from my hiding place I noticed that he had indeed stopped, but not to turn around, he had stopped to talk to someone.
I realized I knew the person. 'Isn't that...Rose's mom?'
It was indeed Janine Hathaway; now I was even more curious.
"Abe, what are you doing here?" She asked, clearly shocked.
The man, identified as Abe, replied urgently. "I came to help, Rose came to see me and I did what I could for them. But I still want to help and I could be of more use here."
I was surprised, how did Rose know this man, how did Janine, what made Rose go to this man, I didn't have an answer.
Luckily I soon got it, but the shocks just kept coming.
"I'm surprised that Rose even came to me, I thought she never knew I..." The man known as Abe remarked.
Janine nodded and quickly explained. "I sent her to you, told her everything I could...She needed to know."
Abe sighed but nodded. "I agree, still, quite a way to meet our daughter after all these years."
I almost gave myself away at that; this man was Rose's father, this day was just full of surprises. I soon heard about what happened during Rose's meeting with this man, in it they mentioned some kind of bond between Rose and Lissa.
I recalled her telling me about it once and listened as they explained what Rose had seen, what Lissa was in fact going through. Hearing the truth was, in a way, worse than my imagination.
What I was hearing was real after all; I decided I had heard enough, I was too worried now and, once I was sure I was alone, that Abe and Janine had left, I made my escape from the administration wing.
Once back out I silently made my way to the cafeteria, where the others would be having their lunch by now. I remained silent, still in shock by everything that had been revealed and worried for Lissa. As I walked through the cafeteria, I kept my eyes open for anyone familiar; it didn't take long as I spotted two people, Mia Rinaldi and Aaron Drozdov. While normally I would have spoken to them, especially given our recent friendships; I instead looked around, until I saw the person I was looking for, Eddie. I spotted him sitting alone, clearly down and worried about Jill.
"Eddie." I said softly.
He looked up and smiled lightly. "Ah, Christian, I..."
I nodded. "Mind if I sit down, I mean, I know you're..."
"No, no, it's cool, go ahead...At least you understand what I'm feeling." He replied.
I sat down and we got to talking, both finding it easier to calm down and ease our fears by simply talking, sharing our hopes and wishes regarding this matter, both praying for Rose's success.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
