I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I looked over my shoulder and expected to see Dimitri sleeping soundlessly beside me but instead my bed was empty. I could vaguely remember him leaving sometime in the night and kissing me goodbye. I shook my head in hopes of clearing my mind before I picked up my phone to answer it. "Hello?" I answer groggily.
"Rosemarie. Good to hear your voice." I sat up in bed instantly. I knew the voice on the other line. It was Victor.
"What the hell do you want Victor?" I quickly put my phone on speaker so I could talk to Victor as well as go on my phone and send Dimitri a text. Victor on phone! My room! I quickly sent the text before clicking off speaker and holding the phone back to my ear.
"Oh, now Rosemarie, you don't need to have that kind of attitude with me. I just wanted to talk."
"Okay then, talk. Tell me Victor, what's your big plan? What do you want with Lissa and I?"
"I want the same as I did before. Vasalisa to heal me. There is so much I could do to change our world. I need to be in good health to do that. I just want you because I know because of your bond you will be able to lead the guardians to me and stop me just like before. Mark my words Rosemarie this time I will not be stopped, I will get what I want."
"Screw you Victor, there's no way in hell I'll ever let you get anywhere near Lissa."
"Ah, you believe that, yet you don't know what tricks I have up my sleeve." He paused before speaking again. "Now, I must go Rosemarie, I enjoyed our little chat and can't wait to see you and dear Vasalisa so very soon." With then the line went dead. I threw my phone back down on my bed and growled in frustration. After a few moments of pacing my room as I thought about what to do the door to my room flew open and in came Dimitri.
"Roza, I came as soon as I saw your text. Are you alright? What happened?" He was quick to wrap his large arms around me and consul me.
"I'm okay. I woke up to my phone ringing, when I picked it up it was Victor. He said that he would be seeing Lissa and I soon and that he had tricks up his sleeve. He said that he wants Lissa so she can heal him but he wants me so I'm out of the way. He doesn't want me to lead any guardians to him like what happened last time." I looked up into his dark brown eyes that I could so easily get lost in. "What do we do Dimitri?" He pulled me tighter to his chest and leaned his head down. I could feel his warm breath on the top of my head.
"I'll protect you Roza. No harm will come to you or the princess."
"But, what if-"
"No but's. I will keep my word. You and the princess will be safe." I stayed silent but nodded my head. He let go of me but was quick to grab hold of my hand. "Let's go to bed Roza. From now on I won't leave your side."
"Really?" I asked quietly as I crawled into my bed with him after we both changed. He pulled me closely towards him and kissed me softly.
"Really. Every night I'll be here, in this bed with you."
"Good, because I need you."
"Oh Roza, you don't know how much I need you too."
Dimitri and I only slept for about an hour before it was time to get up for our morning training. I groaned as I sat up in bed. Dimitri's arms falling back onto the bed from where they were holding me around my torso. I quickly shut off my alarm before turning around to look at Dimitri. He was still laying down but his eyes were now open. "Morning Comrade." He smiled a warm smile as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Good morning Roza." He sighed before he let go of me and sat up. "Before training today I think we should go talk to both Alberta and Kirova about Victor calling you." I nodded my head.
"Sounds good." We both got changed and made our way to Kirova's office. We were quick to be called in after knocking on her door.
"Guardian Belikov, Rosemarie. Please, take a seat." Dimitri and I both sat down in the two seats that were in front of her desk. "Are you here in regards of something related to Victor?" She asked curiously. Dimitri spoke before I could.
"Yes, Rose got a call from him very early this morning."
"What did he call you for?" This time I answered her.
"He pretty much just called me to threaten me and Lissa. He said that he would be seeing us soon and that he had tricks up his sleeve to get what he wants. Which is Lissa to heal him and me out of the way." She nodded her head.
"Thank you for coming forward with this information. I'll inform Guardian Petrov. Until the time being I want you to try and not be left alone. When you go to class go to class with a friend, and maybe Guardian Belikov for your training sessions you could walk Rose to and from the gym before and after them?"
"Of course." Dimitri answered back quickly but professionally. If only she knew that he was also sleeping with me every night.
"Good then. Unless there is more the two of you need to speak to me about, then you two are dismissed." We both nodded our heads and silently left Kirova's office and made our way towards the gym. Once inside Dimitri and I got stretching before we made our way to the track.
"Rose." I turned my head to the side and locked eyes with Dimitri.
"Yeah?" I could see him look me over with an almost sad smile on his face. He stayed silent for a few more moments before he shook his head.
"Nothing. Let's just get on with our training." I was about to press Dimitri for more, ask him to tell me what he was going to say, but there was a look in his eyes that made me stop myself.
"Sure Comrade."
Review and let me know what you think Dimitri was going to say. Also let me know what you think! I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It was a bit short, next one will be longer. If you have any ideas let me know!
