AdrianPOV:
"It won't work Lissa! It hasn't worked for the last year! What the hell makes you think it will work this time? She's gone Lissa, she doesn't want to be found and I'm guessing that neither does Christian." I tried to make Lissa understand, that I couldn't reach Rose; she was blocking me.
"What do you mean she doesn't want to be found, I'm her best friend, and Christian is my one true love!" Lissa was, once again beyond angry.
Darkness seeped into her aura, making her angry for no particular reason; it make her crazy.
"How dare she, after everything I've done for her, I bought her back from the dead, I accepted her in my family, and this is the way she repays me? She stole my Christian away from me!" Lissa paced around my court dorm.
I drained my glass of Jack and poured myself another, feeling a migraine coming on.
"Lissa, it's been over a year since Rose and Christian left, I haven't been able to dream walk either of them. They do not want to be found, and besides they had a good reason to leave too, after the way you pushed them away." I growled, lighting a cigarette. I knew why they left but Lissa was becoming too selfish and self-centred to realise it.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" she turned and glared at me.
"You turned your back on both Rose and Christian after you brought cradle-robber over here back from being Strigoi!" I pointed at Belikov, who stood against the wall guardian mask in place, I was seething by now.
"Don't you dare speak to Vasilisa that way Ivashkov, you have no right!" anger flashed across Dimitri's face.
"You both don't deserve her, I'm glad that she left both of you! Now get out of my apartment!" I pointed to my door, "get out!" I screamed at them.
Lissa scurried out, shocked. Once they both left I collapsed onto my bed, exhausted from the conversation. Closing my eyes I, once again, tried to reach Rose, I pictured her aura, searching for it in the dark void that I'd entered. I felt Rose long before I even saw her aura, knowing what I would see, I shuddered. In the last year Rose's aura and essence has changed so much and I don't' know why; sometimes her aura is pitch black, it was almost like the darkness is controlling her, trying to take over and the power she emitted knocked the breath out of me, every time. Though other times, it's a bright, shimmering gold, it outshone any Spirit user I've ever seen; it was almost blinding.
I don't' know what is going on with her, I never worried too much because I had faith, I knew she could take care of herself. That all vanished when Lissa had her first encounter with Rose's darkness.
*****FLASHBACK*****
Lissa and I were walking to a Court meeting about lowering the Dhampir graduation age to 16, she was having one of her normal mood swings, ever since Rose and Christian left Lissa has been going mad, not literally but she's pretty close. Lissa was chatting away merrily, excited at the prospect of speaking on behalf of the Dhampir's; I wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying when all of a sudden Lissa grabbed my arm, digging her nails into my skin.
"Lissa stop you're hurting me!" I tried to pry her hands off of me, with no avail.
"Adrian, it hurts…" Lissa's voice was barely audible. That's when I noticed her eyes, they were no longer a pale green; they were so black I couldn't tell apart her pupils from her irises.
"Lissa your eyes!" I tilted her chin up to get a better look.
Without warning Lissa let out a croaky scream, clawing at her throat. Panicking, I lifted her up bridal style and carried her to the infirmary, Lissa thrashed and screamed in my arms, dread filled me; I had no idea what was wrong with her. I couldn't help her.
"Someone! Help me!" I yelled upon barging into the infirmary, tall Moroi doctor came running in, ordering me to lay Lissa on the bed. The Doctor tried to do some tests but it was proving impossible with Lissa's thrashing and screaming; in the end several nurses had to come in a tie her down. I tried to sit down and wait for her to calm down but I couldn't sit still, I was determined to figure out what was wrong with Lissa, I was positive that the answers would lie in her aura. Sitting back down I let my walls down, my heart stopped at what I saw; darkness filled her aura but it was like it was alive, twisting and turning its way around Lissa's body. I continued to watch in fascination, when Lissa began to seize up, her body writhed. I reached out to comfort Lissa but as my hand got close a wisp of darkness extended itself and wrapped itself around my wrist, coiling like a snake and crushed my wrist; I was in too much shock at the fast that Lissa's aura could detach itself and become a physical concept to feel any pain.
The darkness, letting me go, wound its way around Lissa, I stumbled back and watched as the shadows forced their way into Lissa's mouth; chocking her. I couldn't breathe, I was frozen; all I could was watch as the darkness ate away at Lissa before completely disappearing into her, not a second later Lissa stopped struggling and became still. It was only then did I feel the pain radiating through my body, I gasped and called for the Doctor once again. Stars scattered my vision, the walls bent and twisted as I crumpled to the ground; black surrounded me.
*****END OF FLASHBACK*****
I took a swing of Jack, wincing slightly as it burned my throat. Ever since that accident it's been happening frequently, Lissa and I spent months on end researching, trying to find answers but so far; nothing. Not even something that sounded anything close to what happened to Lissa and what I had witnessed. We both knew it had something to do with Rose though, neither of us were sure how but it defiantly involved her. Our suspicions were confirmed when Lissa said that after every incident she couldn't feel Rose through the bond, it was almost like she was dead but not at the same time. I never really understood what Lissa meant by that, then again I can't understand a thing she says lately, chuckling to myself I drifted off into a deep sleep.
