Different Story

Chapter 18

Rose's POV

I was out of the infirmary a few hours after I had woken up. Now, I was in my room, lying down on my bed and just staring up at the ceiling with nothing to do. The others still had classes to go to. I was out of my classes for today and tomorrow because I just came out of the infirmary.

Hmm... maybe I should talk Lissa.

Hey Liss! How's your class going?

Hey, class is going okay. How are you doing?

Eh, I'm doing fine. Just bored, that's all. Hmm, maybe I'll just walk around.

Yeah, you go do that.

See you later!

Yep, yep! See you!

After that conversation with Lissa, I got up and began to walk around the academy.

It was pretty quiet because everyone had just changed classes and they should be in class.

Or so I thought.

I was making my way to the commons, when I saw two people near the door of the commons. I couldn't see them properly yet, but when I moved closer, I saw that it was Dimitri and a girl. I got curious so I hid somewhere close to them and watched them for a few seconds.

They were just standing there and not doing anything.

Then suddenly, the girl kissed Dimitri and he did nothing to stop her.

I felt my anger rise and made my way over to them.

I reached them and only the girl looked at me.

Then she smirked.

I was about to punch her, but someone grabbed my arm before I could.

I turned around to see who had stopped me and I felt my heart stop for a second.

The person who had stopped me was Aaron.

Then I did a none Rose Hathaway thing.

I screamed.

Dimitri's POV (before Rose saw what happened)

I was making my way over to my next class, when a girl I didn't know stepped in front of me.

I was looking at her face and she smirked.

Then she looked me in the eyes and said, "You will let me kiss you and not do anything about it. You will also not help Rose."

After she said those words, my mind blanked, she kissed me and I let her.

After the kiss, I noticed that Rose was next to us now and the girl turned her attention to Rose. All I was doing was staring at nothing and thinking.

What had just happened?

Next thing I know, there's a really loud scream.

I turn to look at who screamed and saw Rose being held by a strigoi.

I looked at Rose and saw that she was terrified.

And all I did was stood there. Not doing anything. Not moving.

"Just stand there and do nothing" said a voice in my head, but it wasn't mine.

It just kept saying that over and over.

Then I realized, someone was in my head.

I shook my head and kept saying in my head, "I must help her."
