Chapter 6
APOV
When Rose’s friend Mason finally showed up with Mia his face darken a little when he saw my arms wrapped around Rose as we laid across her bed. This kids jealously was almost ridicules but than again if I saw another man wrapped around Rose I would probably be just as jealous if not more so.
When everyone was ready I led everyone to our destination, they followed me to a doorway on one of the far wings on the lodge. It held a staircase that led down and down and down. It was a very confusing journey for someone that didn't know where they were going because it wound around a lot. There were electric light hanging from the walls but the farther that we went the painted walls chanted to carved stone. When we finally reached our destination the others seemed surprised that we were in a special spa area of the resort. This spa was normally only used for the most elite Moroi. So in truth it was reserved for Royal pain in the asses like myself, but I never did follow the rules hence the reason I invited Rose and her friends. If anyone had a problem with that they could kiss my ass for all I cared.
There were about thirty other people here around my age all of them looked extremely snobby I had to roll my eyes at the way they were flashing the fact they had money. But who was I to judge I too could be considered guilty of such things on occasion.
The spa consisted of a series of hot mineral pools. Maybe once they’s been in a cace or something but the lodge builders had long since gotten rid of any sort of rustic surroundings. The black stone walls and ceiling were polished and beautiful as any thing else in the resort. It was like being in a cave-a really nice designer cave. Racks of towels lined the walls as did tables full of exotic foods, which I knew would be a new experience for Rose and her friends except maybe Lissa and Christian since this is the type of things they grew up around.
The baths matched the rest of the room’s hewn-out decor: stone lined pools containing hot water that was heated from some underground source. Steamed filled the room and a fait, metallic smell hung in the air the sound of party goers laughing and splashing echoed around the caves.
“Ready to have some fun Little Dhampir?” I asked Rose as I pulled her close, wrapping my arms around her waist as she took in the room.
“As long as it can make me forget what happened this afternoon than yeah.” she told me. Those deaths were still weighing heavily on her mind. In truth they were hanging heavy on mine as well, hence the reason for coming to the spa.
I lead her to the spa waters tentatively she lowered herself into the waters, which I knew from experience were scolding hot, that fact must have caught her by surprise, when she grimaced slightly.
After giving herself a chance to adjust to the temperature of the water she turned to the others to see what they were discussing. Not that I minded I was busy trying to flag down a server of a drink.
“What are you talking about?” I heard her asked her friend Mason.
“The meeting.” he told her excitedly. I sighed inwardly, I brought her here to forget about the meeting and the dumb ass brings it up. I just hope for his sake it didn't upset her too much or his ass was mine. I may not look like much, but I know how to handle myself hence the reason I spend four hours a day- when not on vacation, because I am slightly lazy- working out in the gym to keep my physique up.
I saw the little shit try to put his arms around her but the death glare I sent him deterred him from doing so. The boy better learn fast. Rose is mine, and I have no intention of giving her up at any point in my life unless she tells me to high tail it out of her life, even then I would fight to get her back.
I looked around to see Christian and Lissa had settled down on a small shelf in the pool. Lissa curled up at his side with his arms around her and his head resting on the edge.
“The idiot wants to lead a army against strogoi.”
“Hey, it was your aunt that suggested it,” Mason reminded Christian.
“She only said we should find the Strigoi before they find us again,” Christian countered. “She wasn't pushing for the novices to go fighting. That was the dumb ass Monica Szelsky.”
Finally one of the waitress came by with a tray of drinks I took a vodka that I had ordered and handed Roses one of the pink drinks that she had pointed to. The drink was in an elegant, long stemmed crystal glass with sugardrims.
“Be careful with that Little Dhampir, it may not seem strong but it packs a punch.” I told her I had a feeling she wasn't going to listen to me,, so I would be keeping tabs on what she was having. I doubted she wanted to get drunk. From what I remember of the night we met, she wasn't that big on getting drunk, so I would make sure she didn't.
She took her glass kissing me sweetly on the lips before she turned back to her conversation with her friends. I was perfectly content to let them talk as I pulled her closer to me and hold her.
“You think that is a good idea?” I heard her ask him as she cautiously took a sip of her drink. I could tell she was trying to figure out what was in the drink, but she wouldn't be able to taste the alcohol in the drink. I was pretty sure they had put Everclear in it.
Once one of the waitress returned I saw Rose eying the tray of food cautiously.
I saw her about to pick up foie gars, I knew she was not going to like that so I caught her arm before she picked it up.
“That is goose liver sweetheart.” I told her when she looked at me curiously, when I grabbed her.
“Eww.” she said pulling her arm away from the tray. The waitress moved on, I could see Christian snickering at her response. The little fucker was going to just let her eat it. But I had to admit I was somewhat curious as to what her response would be to the goose liver.
“What else are we doing?” Mason asked her continuing their conversation before the waitress came interrupting them. “What are you doing? You run laps with Belikov every morning. What’s doing for you? For the Moroi?”
I didn't like the fact she had to be around that man. But I had to remind myself he wouldn't be around much longer since he was moving on with Tasha Ozera at the beginning of the year. So I knew he wouldn't be returning to the academy with her or any of them.
“We aren't ready.” she answered him.
“We have six more months.” piped in Eddie
Mason nodded in agreement “Yeah. How much more could we learn?”
“Plenty” she told him. Quite frankly I didn't like the thought of her risking her life to guard any Moroi, even her best friend Lissa. “Besides, where does it stop? Let’s say they end school six months early, then send us off. What next? They decided to push back further and cut our senior year? Our junior year?”
Mason shrugged not caring if they did, this kid had a death wish. Of that I was sure. “I’m not afraid to fight I could have take on Strigoi when I was a sophomore.” Was he serious?
“Yeah,” she said dryly. “Just like you did the skiing on that slope.”
His face flushed face from the heat turned redder from her comment. I could tell she regretted her words even more so when Christian started to laugh. Personally I didn't care. This kid was a bit to cocky for his own good. That was going to be his down fall. No one is ever ready to take on Strogoi. That I learned from my first encounter with them when I was fourteen and Guardian Welsh lost his life protecting me. I had known the man since the time I was in diapers. To see him lose his life in front of me, was traumatizing.
"Never thought I'd live to see the day when I agreed with you, Rose. But sadly, I do." Christian said to her when he stopped laughing.
I saw the cocktail waitress come around again, and I knew Rose was going to be taking another one of the drinks.
“Go easy on those Rose. If you don't you will end up drunk with a massive headache in the morning.” I warned her. She just rolled her eyes at me, but I saw her slow down on the drink.
"With magic?" asked Mia suddenly.
That was the first time she had spoke since I had brought them here. The dhampirs didn't answer her because they knew nothing about fight with magic. But I had my suspicions that Lissa and Christian and even my Rose knew about fight with magic. They were all trying to hard to act like they didn't know what she was talking about.
But I could see hope spark in Mia’s aura, and from what she been through today, it was probably a miracle for even that amount of hope.
After no one speaking Rose finally answered her. “I suppose. But...I don't know much about that.”
I saw Rose quickly avert her eyes so I knew my suspicions were correct. I saw her down the rest of the drink before she placed the empty glass on one of the empty small shelves.
After a long silence I noticed no one else was going to starting up the conversation anytime soon. So I decided it was time to spend some alone time with my little dhampir before she decided she wanted another one of those fruity drinks. I had some paying back to do, and having her drunk while doing didn't seem like a fun idea. I wanted her to remember it, and be sober enough to participate.
“Want to go someplace quiet?” I asked her.
“Yeah.” I stood up pulling her up along with me. I helped her out of the pool before I pulled my own self out.
“We’ll be back in a bit guys.” she told her friends before I pulled her away.
