Veritas
He sighed; impatience bubbling in him but a long career of waiting on others constantly had taught him patience. Dimitri looked down to the familiar campus of St. Vladimir's Academy, shifting where he hid waiting for classes to dismiss, he wished he could just walk on to the campus however he didn't like the idea of relying on humans.
Though the distant ringing put him at ease, and he watched almost intently as students flooded the quad. His eyes, blood and chocolate tinted, scanned the area looking first for that telltale hue of platinum knowing he'd find that gorgeous dark brown not far afterwards.
His eyes questing and scanning over all the rest of the heads before he stiffened slightly pausing as he spied a distinct inky haired male knowing that Vasilissa couldn't be far from her boyfriend which was in fact hardly true.
Vasilissa had woken up earlier than usual to vomit for hours until someone found her curled up on the bathroom floor lying on a towel next to the toilet. They had moved her to the infirmary where she had rested for the rest of the day. Christian moving off towards the moroi dorm, pausing as something caught his eye.
Rose looking angry and jerking away from someone and yelling at some guy, Christian now moving over to figure out what it was about. Christian scanned the pair, and had to admit that he'd never seen Rose more pissed that she was on that moment and suddenly her voice caught him off guard, she didn't sound angry she sounded like she was almost in tears.
"It's none of your damn business who I choose to be with, so butt out you hardly even know me!" She snapped harshly.
The guy who had been bothering her hardly looked familiar to him. An exchange student perhaps? This tall dark haired guy looked a little confused frankly, though hurt flashed across his face.
Off in the distance the yelling had caught Dimitri's attention, watching Rose struggling with some boy. He snorted faintly watching them with interest from his perch just outside the barriers.
Amadeus, Rose's would be assaulter, grasped her wrist trying to get her to listen to him and pulled her towards him although he wasn't ready for her reaction, she spun around faster than a pit viper and her fist smashed into his nose, more that effectively breaking it blood gushing from his nose his eyes watering he swore loudly his hands flying up to covers his face by this point as passerby had stopped to gape and Rose had turned to storm off to her dormitory however, she ran into Christian who had spotted a teacher headed for the area.
Seizing Rose by the arm, against his better judgment seeing she was in the mood to throw punches, and pulling her away from the scene. Guardian Egrov, a fairly tall dhamphir had shown first, and was now tending to Amadeus.
Rose looked to Christian "What the hell? I wasn't done yet, you could have at least let me hit him again I mean honestly Christian..." She stated looking to the other appearing rather agitated and grumbling about damn handsy Germans Christian looked to her faintly amused,
"I thought I might save him some plastic surgery, so he might only need his nose reconstructed and not his entire face…" He retorted his usual snarky tone wrapped up in his statement.
Rose's eyes looked a little crazy for a moment and he frowned a little looking to her, though as soon as it was there it was gone. Rose looked to him
"Were you heading over to meet Lissa in the courtyard?" She asked fully intending to go with him. Though frowning when he shook his head and looking rather surprised when he explained.
"She was so sick this morning that they found her on the bathroom floor, so she probably spent a good amount of time in the nurse's office if she isn't still there…" he said looking off in the direction of the nurses office looking troubled over the entire ordeal. Though Rose supposed if she were a guy who had gotten his girlfriend pregnant she would probably be just as worried. So the pair headed off towards the nurses office not that Rose really wanted to know that Amadeus would likely be there, though at least she had a good excuse for breaking his nose.
Christian swiftly moved into the building that housed the clinic and through the halls pausing at the door to the clinic when he heard what sounded like yelling. Though he opened the door against his better judgment to find Lissa in the middle of healing Amadeus; Rose stood in the doorway her arms crossed over her chest looking really pissed now. Now her having broken his nose was nearly pointless, it wouldn't even hurt any to remind him not to fuck with her it would just have a little swelling.
Though Rose turned her attention to her ailing bond mate who looked almost frighteningly pale, Rose frowned glancing to Christian who also looked concerned. "Lissa maybe you ought to sit down, you don't look so good." Rose said looking concerned for her friend.
Amadeus glanced up seeing the little dhamphir that had assaulted him. "Just remember what I said, you'll start to see it soon enough…" he said before stepping into the bathroom of the clinic.
Lissa turned to look at Rose, obviously confused. "What was all that about?" She inquired and Rose glanced to where the nurse stood talking to Alberta and Guardian Egrov with her back turned to them and shook her head.
Lissa catching hint sighed and was about to say something else when Guardian Egrov motioned for her to come over hardly sparing Rose and Christian a glance. Rose snorted lightly moving to sit and a chair crossing her arms and sitting back, looking almost like an impatient child, though mere moments later she was up and moving around the room. She was frightfully restless and still had copious amounts of adrenaline coursing through her system causing her hands to shake slightly.
Christian had taken the chair she had given up scowling somewhat wondering what they were talking to his girlfriend about and wondering faintly it they suspected that she was pregnant.
A lot of people saw the romanticized version of pregnancies, like two star struck lovers spend one night together and she ends up pregnant. The girl runs off and pops out the kid and all of a sudden they live happily ever after. Christian snorted faintly at the thought, most kids his age didn't really realize what a big responsibility it was to have a kid, more likely because their parents would take care of it for them in one way or another.
The other male moroi his age didn't have to watch their girlfriends get horribly sick and get really huge, not that Christian really minded the weight she would gain knowing she'd probably snap back like a rubber band being a moroi, or see her start sobbing because she can find that blue pen she had a second ago because it rolled off the table and she didn't see it. No, they wouldn't get to see anything akin to that until they were older, probably somewhere between twenty and forty. He almost envied them; as much as he loved Lissa he felt this pregnancy tethering him forever to her, dragging him down in to the deep, icy, blackened waters of commitment. Christian could feel himself drowning see the last bubbles of air escaping his lungs that last gripping, fleeting sense of oneness in himself fleeing and flying to the surface of this seemingly bottomless ocean.
Viktoria stood looking out of the dormitory window out on the grounds that her most revered elder brother had tread in days past and glanced back to the schedule in her hand, frowning lightly. America was so different from Siberia; she missed the beautiful lushness of the spring blooming all around here in America the trees were just starting to wake from their winter slumber.
She turned away from the window, endeavoring to explore the campus while everyone one was out of class, maybe ascertain where everyone hung out. Viktoria had been glad to see Rose, despite what Rose had done to her in Siberia she was more angry with Nikolai who upon discovering what she had been doing every night had ratted her out to her mother. Her mother had been furious when she had discovered what Viktoria had done on an almost nightly basis for several months now.
Being a blood whore was still highly looked down even in a village of blood whores, there were the mothers and their children; and then there were them. The blood whores of Baia were not exempt from the grand scale of ridicule that all other moroi and dhamphir looked down upon them with, and all other blood whores in general.
Viktoria had tricked herself into being a blood whore in the first place, she had thought that beautiful man had loved her, the handsome moroi she had thought she loved so much, Rolan. When he'd looked deep into her eyes that night with his gorgeous emerald hues, her heart had started racing, pounding against her chest, she felt so open and exposed under that gaze. Viktoria would have done anything for Rolan, and when he had "accidently" nicked the side of her throat one night she hadn't minded, asked for more even. It made her sick to her stomach to think about Rolan anymore, tears gathering underneath her eyelids. So her eyes flickered open, finding herself in front of the chapel, she smiled weakly moving for the door and heading inside to pray for guidance and strength to withstand this new environment long enough to get back to Rolan one day and maybe prove to him that she wasn't just a blood whore.
Dimitri had watched from his perch in the distance, with an almost perverse pleasure when Rose had punched the moroi in the nose and stormed off. He'd watched her trek across campus after Lissa's boyfriend, and it took him a moment to recall the dark haired moroi's name, Christian. The two of them had headed into the main administration building, and had still yet to come out a half hour later, though the moroi Rose had assaulted had already left looking rather pensive.
Surprising Dimitri in that the boy had already healed, he scowled a little hoping that it had been worth it whatever Rose had hit him over. Things at St. Vladimir's academy were still very much as they were when he left, though Dimitri supposed there might be a few new guardians, like the one trekking across campus at the moment was not a guardian he recognized that the female might possibly be one of his spies, it was hard to tell from a distance even with his amazing vision.
Though mere moments later he froze up as a specific figure emerged from one of the buildings and Dimitri could not have been more curious, and almost irritated assuming his youngest sister's being in America meant she'd gotten into more trouble than was manageable back in Siberia. His anger flared wondering if the men had gotten to her, forced her to blood let, possibly gotten her pregnant. Though he supposed if she had been pregnant she would be home taking care of her children like Karolina, and apparently Sonya, he recalled Rose telling him she had been pregnant when he had Rose captured inside Galina's fortress. Unless that is she had been pregnant and had either miscarried or the child had been still born, or died soon after birth. Dimitri thought a moment and decided there wasn't enough time for her to have been pregnant since the last time he'd seen her when he'd passed through Baia one last time, for nostalgia's sake. He'd been surprised with how she had grown, and Sonya he hadn't seen, though he'd seen Karolina with Paul a few times, the boy's resemblance to himself was uncanny and Dimitri was almost glad to have some semblance of himself back with his family.
Dimitri watched her walk out towards the quad and then from there preceding towards the small campus chapel, pausing outside it a moment before stepping inside looking determined, this was the last innocent memory he would ever have of his baby sister.
Lissa stiffened looking to the two guardians and back to the nurse her already pallid complexion growing even paler.
"Ex-excuse me? " She stammered hoping she had heard them wrong. Alberta glanced from her then to Christian who seemed rather distant sitting next to the door.
"You heard us Vasilissa, now if you don't want Hathaway and Ozera here, we can get rid of them but you aren't getting out of this…" she stated looking to the girl, hardly sympathizing with her. If the girl was pregnant it was her fault, she was smart and should have known better and somehow managed to procure condoms if she had really felt it necessary to have sex with her boyfriend.
Lissa sighed, glancing back to her boyfriend and her bond mate, who by this point had stopped pacing and was watching them almost intently.
"No, they can stay; just give me the thing…" She said scowling and waiting as the nurse moved to her desk mumbling something about never having had to actually use one in her ten years of nursing, which Lissa doubted. Returning with that damnable little white box, Lissa made a face at it as she moved into the bathroom. Rose giving an odd look to the door from where she sat and Christian looked passive.
In all honesty the next five minutes felt like they were hours and Rose was up again and pacing by the time Lissa emerged from the bathroom with the test, looking rather anxious as the nurse moved over to read the test, sighing rather impatiently upon recognizing what the little green line symbolized.
The nurse moving over to the computer on her desk and rapidly beginning to type information into the system, glancing to Lissa "You can throw that away now and sit down." She said looking irritated, glancing to the two guardians in the room looking Egrov in particular.
"Alekei, I need you to take Miss Dragomir and Mr. Ozera off to headmistress McClellan." She stated printing what she had typed and handing it to him and he nodded nodding to the two who glanced to each other anxiously before their fingers laced between each others and they followed him out the door.
Rose looked to the two females remaining in the room; she felt the sense of despair and hopelessness filling Lissa, flooding her mind feel the darkness in the back of her friends mind pulling at her. Rose stepped back, looking to the two before moving out the door quickly out back onto the quad sitting on a bench and reaching into her bond mates head frantically.
Panic surged through Rose, adrenaline racing in her veins as she watched Lissa and Christian were just getting to the new headmistresses office. They moved in with Guardian Egrov, who handed the form to the tall, pale woman behind the desk in her pant suit, her dark hair pinned back in a bun made her look kind of old fashioned.
She read over the paper rapidly, "So Vasilissa and…" She glanced back to the form "Christian you two are sexually active?" she started gesturing for them to sit in the provided chairs in front of her desk. Lissa nodded weakly jumping a little when she rapped on the desk with her palm.
"Well? We either say yes or no. I believe at seventeen or eighteen you're supposed to be intelligible enough to speak and respond to yes or no questions. Or is it that you are not and that s how we got into this situation in the first place?" she suggested icily.
Rose felt a torrent of disdain and irritation spread through her friend in a sudden chill. "Yes, we are sexually active…" She stated, glancing to Christian when he squeezed her hand tightly and she gave a light squeeze back.
"And did you ever use any of birth control?"
"Yes, we regularly used condoms…" Lissa said quietly suddenly very interested in the décor around the room.
"And when you conceived you were using one? The headmistress inquired looking out the window then back to the two anxious teenagers.
"Yes, but it broke…" Christian cringed at the weight of the word though remained silent for the time being.
"And what did you plan to do after you graduated?" She questioned looking a little bored by this point.
"I was going to go on to college, both of us were…" She commented quietly.
Rose was suddenly ripped from Lissa's head by some unidentifiable source. Rousing to find Adrian there looked to her a little concerned.
"What's wrong? Your aura is darker than usual I can barely tell the difference between the shadows and your actual aura." He stated quirking a brow, Rose really wished she could do that she had since she had first seen Dimitri do it.
"Lissa and Christian are with the headmaster at the moment being interrogated." She stated looking to him and Adrian cringed a little.
"Ouch, so they know now too?" He stated moving to sit next to her on the bench resting his arms across the back, one behind her and she leaned back into the bench a little glancing to him sighing feeling rather impatient over the fact that they couldn't be openly affectionate.
Adrian, seeming to read her mind leaned forwards, seizing her by the chin and pulling her into a very welcome, deep kiss. Rose startled at first leant into the kiss after a moment, though was very unaware that off in the distance Dimitri watched the event occur.
Ivashkov kiss her, and then she kissed him back. He almost felt hurt, though in place of what he suspected should be tremendous hurt and betrayal he felt only white hot anger. Watching the two of the together he darted from the post heading back, Denis was due for the next shift in a half hour anyhow.
Upon arriving back to his base of operations, he let Kaline know to alert Denis his shift was starting early before disappearing into his room.
Rose pulled from the kiss moments later, looking around to see if anyone had caught them and Adrian grinned faintly looking to her.
"I don't care if they see…" He said pressing his mouth over hers in a rough kiss, his hand cupping her cheek and one of her hands sliding into his soft hair relishing the feel. Her nails scraping lightly against his scalp, and he made a soft noise in his throat making her eyes flutter open for a moment to look to him before pulling away. "Let's walk and talk?" Adrian suggested lightly, grinning faintly. Rose felt a little dizzy and nodded standing and looking to the Adrian amazed that he had induced such a feeling in her, when previously only Dimitri could make her heart pound so hard, and make her so dizzy with only a kiss or a look.
