Chapter 3
RPOV
I had just stripped down to my panties and bra when there was a knock at my door. Feeling a bit frustrated I hastily wrapped my robe around me and went to open the door. I groaned it was Dimitri. Rolling my eyes I asked him what he wanted, "What Dimitri, I'm trying to clean myself up." His eyes swept over me, and for a second I thought I saw anger flash across his face but immediately his guardian mask was put back on. Before he could say anything I stopped him, "Can I clean up first, please. I've had a long day, I'm hungry and tired. You can wait out here while I get ready or you can meet me at the Dining Hall."
"I'll wait out here." he told me. I gave him one last look and closed the door, then hurried for the shower. I let the hot water relax my muscles that I pushed to the max today doing my little stunts skiing with Adrian. The thought of this afternoon made me smile. I don't remember the last time I had that much fun in my life. Remembering Dimitri was out there waiting for me I finished up in the shower than dried off pulled my hair into a ponytail and pulled on a pair of sweat pants, a tee-shirt and my black vans.
When opened the door Dimitri was still there leaning against the wall in front of my door.
"You ready?" he asked me
"Yeah"
We didn't talk the whole way to the Dining Hall. What ever he wanted to talk about it seemed to bothering him. I wasn't in the mood for something depressing for the day I just had but I wasn't about to tell him that. So sucking it up I grabbed my food and set down with him in the dining hall which was practically empty.
"So what's the problem Comrade?" I asked him as I bit into my pizza.
"You've been hanging around Adrian Ivashkov." his eyes angry slits.
"Oh my God. I don't need this right now. I have had this conversation to many times today. I know who he is and I know his reputation. I'm not some idiot everyone feels they need to warn. I've been around enough men that are just like him. I can handle him, besides he is not as bad as all of you seem to think." I said hotly as I pushed my food away I had lost my appetite.
"Must you be so naive Rose?" Dimitri asked me shaking his head. "Adrian Ivashkov is a Royal Moroi that is use to getting what he wants when he wants it. He will use you and leave you when he is done with you."
"Not all royal Moroi are like that. The time I've spent with Adrian has shown me that. He is not all of what his reputation says he is. If people would take the time to see through the whole Ladies Man facade he puts than maybe they would have a different opinion of him."
"Or maybe he is having you see what he wants you to see, did you think of that Rose? He didn't just get his reputation for nothing. Adrian Ivashkov has a way with words that will make anybody believes what he wants them to. You need to be careful Rose. You need to stay away from him."
"Why do you care Dimitri? It's not like you will be here for the aftermath if something goes wrong. You will be away with your precious Tasha, probably will have her knocked up by then."
For a moment I thought Dimitri was going to lose control, but he closed his eyes and took a couple of deep breaths before he spoke to again, "Just because I will be away Roza doesn't mean I won't care what happens to you. I may not be here for the aftermath but that doesn't mean I want to hear or know of you being hurt. To know that your future was ruin by Adrian Ivashkov because you were being far to naive to heed the warnings given to you, I will still feel pained by it. The people that care about you have given a lot to your future to make sure that you could be the best and for you to be throwing it away like this because you want to be buddy buddy with Adrian Ivashkov, is a waste of our time and effort, and basically a slap in the face."
"Maybe I am being naive Dimitri, but there is something different about Adrian. You and everyone else may not want to see it or take a chance to understand it. But I will do just that, because maybe, just maybe, what he will give me what I need to heal the damage you have already done to me. You have a nerve to talk about him. Talking of the pain he will cause me, when nothing could be as painful as when I found out you have decided to leave me to go shack up with Tasha Ozera. Naive I may be, but stupid in letting myself get hurt the way you have hurt me I am not. I appreciate the time you have put into my training but do not come to me about my love life that you have almost ruined." And with that I left him at the table, stunned.
I did not look back to see his face, I did not care to see. I was leaving it all right there. He had made his choice and I had made mine whether it was the right choice or not was for me to find out on my own, and I would not regret it.
When I reached my room I didn't even bother going in I could sense Lissa's feelings and they were telling me she was with Christian...thoroughly enjoying herself. I decided I'll just go to Adrian's room. I was practically at his door when I remembered he was a dinner party. With a heavy sigh I was about to turn from his door, when the familiar smell of clove cigarettes hit me. I smiled and turned to see Adrian than my smile was shattered. Adrian was very drunk and on the arms of some other woman. I was about to turn to leave...
"Little dhampir! What are you doing here?"
"Oh thank god! You must be Rose, I'm Elena, Adrian sister." the pretty brunette said to me as they reached reached the door. "Could you open the door for me? I think the key is in his jacket pocket."
"Little dhampir you still haven't answered my question what you doing here all by yourself?" Adrian asked me as I fished the key out of his pocket.
"I need a place to crash tonight. My roommate is..uhmm...preoccupied again tonight." I said as I unlocked his door.
"Sure you can crash here I don't mind." Adrian said with a dazzling smile on his face. I had taken him from his sister she seemed to be struggling under his weight.
"Thank you Rose. I would really hate to leave him tonight but I got to get back to the dinner party. I just had to get him out of there before he said something to father that would have gotten us both disowned." Elena told me with a small smile as I laid Adrian down on his bed. He had fallen asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
"I don't mind staying here with him, I don't have anywhere else to be right now considering my roommate is...preoccupied at the moment."I said taking his shoes off and his dress jacket which felt just expensive as it looked. If there was one thing about the Ivashkov they didn't mind showing off that they had money.
"I hope we get some time to talk soon Rose, but right now I have to run. Thanks again." And with that his sister left the room.
I removed his pants and placed the covers over him. He looked peaceful in his sleep. It made me smile as I pushed his hair from his face. I kissed him on his cheek and left him in his room and I crashed on the couch. Like Adrian as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.
APOV
I woke to a massive headache. After all these years you would think I would become immune to them, but I haven't unfortunately. With a heavy sigh I turned over to see a pair of beautiful brown eyes staring back at me. My Rose had stayed the night with me, that thought made me smile.
"Hi little dhampir." I told her. I would have gotten out of the bed to greet her properly but my head was to sore. I drank entirely to much last night. My father was pushing me over the edge the man didn't realize how close I was to snapping. Thankfully my sister was there to get me out of there before I said something that could hurt us both.
"Hey Adrian." she said said to me as she moved closer she had a glass of water and some pills in her hand. She handed them to me and I gladly took them.
"Where did you sleep little dhampir, I hope it wasn't on that horrible couch?" I asked her after I swallowed the pills.
"Didn't have another choice the bed was occupied." she said to me with a smile. God how did I love her smile.
"I would've shared with you. I don't move to much in my drunken sleeps." she nodded at that, apparently I was still in the same spot her and my sister left me.
"You may not move to much in your sleep but the smell of vodka that was coming from you would have prevented me from falling asleep. And the couch is not that bad, it was better than the alternative in my room. But now that you are awake I have to go back to my room and clean myself up and hang out with some friends. If you like we can meet up for lunch."
"I will like that a lot little dhampir." I gave her a quick kiss than she left after she left my head hit the pillow again and I was back in the world of sleep.
When I woke up it was twenty minutes before I had to meet with Rose. I jumped out of bed and thank the Lord my headache was gone than I jumped into the shower. I got dressed and styled my hair as quickly as I could than I was out the door in a blur. I had just closed the door when I almost ran into Rose. She didn't look to good.
"Rose what's wrong?" I asked her putting my hands on her shoulder.
"There's been another attack."
"Where? When?"
"Somewhere in California some time this morning thirteen dead and three missing. They called a meeting, I was wondering if you were going to attended or did you still want to go to lunch."
"Let's go see what they have to say and if it gets to boring we can just leave to go get something to eat."
"Okay,"
We left to the room where they were holding the meeting, but as we got closer it seemed something else was bothering Rose.
"Rose what's really bothering you?" I asked her before we got to the meeting
"When I heard about the attack all I could think about was the attack that killed the legendary Arthur Schoenberg. There was bodies everywhere woman, children, and the legend himself."
"You were there? You saw all them?"
"Me and Dimitri was suppose to meet Guardian Schoenberg but when we got there they were all dead. No one was spared and from the way they died you can tell their last moments were painful. And now this, thirteen dead, its getting worse and worse and I can't help but feel like something big is coming that none of us are prepared for."
"It will all get better soon little dhampir."
"I hope, because the thought of losing the people I care about to them is unbearable."
I led us into the meeting as much as I wish I could tell her that she wasn't going to lose anyone to these attacks I couldn't. Most of the people she knew were dhampirs, fighters. Some of them wouldn't make it out of a fight if it got to bad. Though they weren't Guardians just yet that didn't stop the strigoi from killing them.
When we got to the meeting it was already in full swing, I kept my arm around Rose's waist her mind seemed preoccupied. I figured it was still on the attack that she had witness the aftermath to. I was about to pull her out of here and just take her to get something to eat so she wouldn't have keep getting a reminder of what she witnessed but she pulled us towards the seats in the back. I set down and pulled her close. I looked down at her while she was biting her lip and looking down at her hands. I took one of her hands and she looked up at me and gave me a small smile than we both gave out attention to what was being said up at the podium.
"...Only six to protect over a dozen Moroi! That’s unacceptable. It's no wonder these kind of things keep happening."
"Where do you propose getting more Guardians from? They're kind of a limited resource." I felt slight disgusted by this man, he was making it sound like dhampirs were products, and not actual people.
There was a woman that was pointing around the room at the young novices, Rose included, my grip tighten around her, "We've got plenty already. I've watched them train they're deadly. Why are we waiting until they turn eighteen? If we accelerated the training program and focused more on combat training than bookwork, we could turn out new guardians when they're sixteen." I was beginning to think this woman had lost her mind. Was she that self-centered she would seen children out to protect her? Did she hold no value to their lives? She was setting them up for doom. I hung my head in embarrassment thinking that my people held so little value to those that would die for them.
"Not only that, we have plenty of potential Guardians going to waste. Where are all the dhampir women? Our races are intertwined. The Moroi are doing there part to help the dhampirs survive. Why aren't these women doing theirs? Why aren't they here?"
A long, sultry laugh came as an answer. All our eyes turned toward Tasha Ozera.
"May I?" she asked the moderator. He nodded and the Szelsky woman sat down. "Those women aren't here, Monica, because they're too busy raising their children-you know, the ones you want to start sending out to the fronts as soon as they can walk. And please don't insult us all by acting like the Moroi do a huge favor to the dhampirs by helping the reproduce. Maybe it's different in your family, but for the rest of us, sex is fun. The Moroi doing it with dhampirs aren't really making that big of a sacrifice." finally a woman with some since, I thought to my self as she continued. "And the reason we're waiting for these Guardians to turn eighteen is so that we can allow them to enjoy some pretense of life before forcing them to spend the rest of their days in constant danger. They need those extra years to develop mentally as well as physically. Put them out there before they're ready, treat them like they are parts on an assembly line-and your just creating Strigoi fodder." Many people gasped at her bluntness but she did achiever her goal, she got the whole rooms attention. "You increase more fodder still if you try making the other dhampir women become Guardians. You can’t force them into that life if they don't want it. The entire plan of yours to get more guardians relies on throwing children and the unwilling into harms way, just so you can barely stay one step ahead of the enemy. I would have said it's the stupidest plan I've ever heard, if I hadn't already heard his." I had missed his argument so I would just have to take her word of it.
"Enlighten us than, Natasha" he said to her "Tell us what you think we should do, seeing as you have so much experience with Strigoi."
A smile played on her lips, but she didn't rise to the insult "What do I think?" she said moving closer to the stage front, gazing at all of us as she answered the question, "I think we should stop coming up with plans that involve us relying on someone or something to protect us. You think there are too few guardians? That's not the problem. The problem is that there are too many Strigoi. And we've let them multiply and become more powerful because we do nothing about them except have stupid arguments like this. We run and hide behind dhampirs and let the Strigoi go unchecked. It's our fault. We are the reason those Drozdovs died. You want an army? Well, here we are. Dhampirs aren’t the only ones who can learn to fight. The question, Monica isn't where the dhampir women are in this fight. The question is: Where are we?" she was shouting now her cheeks pink and her eyes bright, even her aura seemed to be on fire. Everywhere people were paying attention to her. People were being inspired by her and hypnotized.
"Surely you aren't suggesting the Moroi fight alongside the Guardians when the Strigoi come?" and unimpressed Monica Szelsky asked her.
"No. I'm suggesting the Moroi and Guardians go fight the Strigoi before they come."
One of my idiotic fellow royals shot up from his seat. I could tell already he was going to say something that would definitely get Tasha's point across. "Oh" he said with mockery, "So you're gong to just give us clubs and stakes and send us off to do battle?"
Tasha just shrugged at him, "If that's what it takes, Andrew, then sure," Then a sly smile crossed her face, "But there are other weapons we can use too. One the Guardians can't." I already knew what she was referring to and a smile spread across my face, this idiot was going to push her into demonstration and she would gladly show him.
"Oh yea? Like what?"
Tasha's smile was full-fledged grin. "Like this." With a wave of her hand his sweater that was on his chair burst into flames, I almost choked to hold in my laughter. Rose looked at me like was crazy than a smile spread across her face as Andrew yelped in surprise and knocked the sweater on the ground and started to stomp the fire out.
I had seen enough of this and I knew Rose was hungry and I had other plans for us tonight, so before the chaos could explode across the room I grabbed Roses hand and led her down to the Dining Hall.
"Well little dhampir, if Ozera gets her way than one of these days you will have a partnership with some of the Moroi that are willing to fight." I said with a chuckle
"I can’t deny that it won’t have its usefulness, seeing how Strigoi hate fire." Rose said as she leaned into me. "But all the others I don't see how they will be useful but I'm open for surprises. It will also be nice for the whole world not to rest on our shoulders at least once while we are out there defending their asses. You would think they would have thought of this along time ago if they wanted to stay alive."
"Sometime my people are slow to move Rose, many of us are just to conservative for our own good."
"Well if those conservatives want to see the next day when they have Strigoi on their asses they better step up to the plate and take their lives into their own hands."
"Not all of us can use our gifts to help us."
"Than it will people like you and Lissa that would need a Guardian most. Those that don't have their powers to defend themselves deserve to have the protection of the Guardians. Those that do have the power to protect themselves they need to value their own lives long enough so their Guardians can finish up the job."
"Speaking of Lissa, I was wondering if you and your friends would like to join me for a party?"
"People just died and you want to party?"
"Exactly, you are a bit to wound up from all that has happened you need to relax a little bit, little dhampir. If you're coming you will need a bathing suit or you can come without." I said to her with one of my smiles that make woman's knees go weak.
She rolled her eyes at me, but I knew it had some effect on her I could see it in the slight color change in her cheeks, "I'll see what I can do." she told me as we reached the Dining Hall.
