"I will love you too old man" I replied as he slid into the car and drove away, leaving me with one hefty trust fund, a new house and a brand new car, whatever shall I touch first, I smiled to myself as I ran my hand across the hood of my car.
Chapter Four
"You forgot to mention that your dad was Abe freaking Mazur!" Christin exclaimed as I turned to face him
"I didn't? Must have slipped my mind" I commented back as I made my way into the house to look around
The house was beautiful, inside and out. As you walk in the door an extravagant chandelier was hanging in the entry, the floors were made of white marble that lead to two grand stairwells leading upstairs. After I finished exploring the house, I decided on a room that overlooked the front yard, purely because of the balcony that came with it. Luckily the house came furnished so everything we could have possibly needed was already taken care of.
"Nice room," Christian commented standing in the doorway, I turned to face him smiling
"You should smile more often," he remarked suddenly and I laughed
"I smile all the time," I replied
"Not enough...you have a nice smile," he said
seriously
"You never told me what happened back on the plane," he said suddenly changing the subject coming to sit on the bed
"It happens every time I go outside the wards," I told him as I went and sat beside him on the bed
"Because I'm shadow-kissed I can see ghosts' and sometimes they're able to help me defeat Strigoi but other times they're trying to bring me back over to the other side," I told him
"The other side?" he asked confused
"The side of the dead," I told him straight up "In the accident that killed Andre and Lissa's parents, I died Christian. but the trouble was that I didn't stay dead. Lissa healed me and brought me back to life without even knowing it which is how we are 'bonded'. The ghost's keep telling me that I don't belong with the land of the living and that death wants me back," I finished
"Well, I didn't expect that," he said after a pause and I laughed
"After I just told you all of that, THAT is all you say?" and he smiled
"Does Lissa know about the ghosts'?" he finally asked and I shook my head
"I never told her, I didn't think it was important I'm usually able to go straight to sleep when I'm outside the wards, this time was different,"
"Different how?" he asked curiously
"I'm not entirely sure, they were stronger or maybe I was weaker, I don't know, but I could feel them closing in on me and honestly Christian, I was scared," I told him looking into his eyes, he threw an arm over my shoulders and pulled me in for a one-armed hug
"It's alright Rose, they won't take you I've always got your back," he commented and even if it was an empty promise his reassurance gave me some comfort.
Sorry, this chapter was a short one, the next one will be up shortly and I'll make sure it's longer. Thanks.
