Soul Bond

Chapter 2: Look

"Bloom?". "Hm???" I say turning to my right as I roll over. "Your late, well for breakfast","hmmm I don't need breakfast" I murmur, not willing to open my eyes. Last night's dream was amazing, seeing Justin lifts my spirits. "Open your eyes Bloom" I open them and see Lissa with a sad look on her face. "What's wrong?" I sit up not sure of what is going on. "Well when I came in I heard you crying","huh?" I look surprised at her.

I quickly feel my face, it's wet. "Huh" I say wiping the wetness of my face near my eyes. "And you kept repeating 'don't leave' over and over", I look away, knowing I could not tell her anything yet, no until I'm sure about what I'm about to do. "Oh I must have had a nightmare","you don't remember? It was just a few minutes ago" I stare blankly at her, I shrug.

"It doesn't matter" I shrug. "Yes it does....Bloom you know you can trust me with anything right?" I smile a sad smile, "yes I know and thanks" she nods, "I'll let you get ready, see you down stairs ok?","ok" she smiles one more time then leaves, shutting the door. I sigh and wipe again the slipping tears I had barely noticed. "Why me?" I sigh in frustration, I get up and do my bed.

I straighten my hair automatically, dress in a normal t-shirt (Justin's black t-shirt) and a some dark blue skinny jeans. I put on some white vans. I tie my hair into a pony tail and head out with my backpack in arm. I stop and head back for my baggy white hoodie with the Pink Victoria Secret logo on it. Then I head out.

The day goes by fast as I go by every class with all my old friends I had made here. I'm popular once again. Then after school, I head over to the daily practice with Dimitri that we were starting up again. I enter the gym, and throw my backpack to the ground and walk over to him, he sat on a chair reading his favorite western novels. I smile,"old habits die hard huh?" he looks up with a grin already spread on his lips, "so says the queen of habits right?" I laugh.

"Maybe" he stops smiling at that and pats to the chair in from of him. My eyebrow goes up, "what no practice?","no today...we need to talk" I sigh, already knowing what this is about. "I don't want to talk about last night, I know Lissa told you" I say sitting down in front of him. "You should I can help you Bloom....what was your dream about" I sigh,"Justin","what happened in the dream","he told me what I need to do to bring him back" I say with a pained tone in my voice.

"And what is that?","he said I have to charm him with spirit, and the only way to do that since we're bound by blood and spirit is to charm my blood with spirit and feed him my blood","what?! That's dangerous and that's crazy" he threw his hands up in the air. I shake my head,"I need to do this, but I need a plan","no there has to be another way...." I shrug, "I'm willing to do it no matter what" I stand up, he looks me in the eye.

"I'm serious Dimitri, I will do whatever it takes to get him back" I grab my backpack, "and now our session is over" and I leave him there, sitting in his chair to think about what I had said.

I throw my backpack against a tree, and take off the hoodie I had been wearing. I look at the height of the gate. I start climbing over the fence, slowly making sure no one saw my stupid act. I jump off from the top to the ground. I then rush into the immense woods. I walk around for a while, remembering the time I had lost my memory, and I had been found in the road, my body tosses there, Justin had found me.

*flashback*

Justin had found my body near the road while he had been driving into Santa Ana for a concert. He recognized me quickly, he had met me once before after a concert he had had a while back. I had been a big part in his life, he had said he sworn he had seem me sometime before. And he did during one of my reincarnations. I had been attack while I had been hunting a while back, by a hybrid. She bled me almost dry and had tampered with my mind, I had no memories of my past love life with Edward.

He picked me up,"I know her we need to take her to a hospital quick!" he told his drivers and body guard. But soon, as they made it back into the city, Justin realized all my cuts and bruises were healing on their own. He stroked my hair, admiring how long and soft it was, even though it was stained with blood, he stroked it over and over. He thought I was gorgeous, angelic even. Then all of a sudden I open my eyes to meet his hazel eyes.

We didn't move at all. He just held me there, I was on his lap, his arms around me. And I just looked up, he smiled, there was something in that

smile that made me give him a small sleepy smile before I passed out again.

*back*

For some reason, being here in the woods, with the feeling of being lost and found, even though I know the way I came from, reminded me of that. I sigh and just sit, leaning a big oak tree, and shut my eyes........

I awaken by the sound of an owl perched up on top of the tree I had been sleeping on. "Crap" I mutter, realizing I had fallen asleep and it was dark. I mean I'm not afraid of the dark and I have the best eye sight but it's dangerous. These woods are always stalked by strigoi, and you shouldn't be alone. I sit up, crossing my arms on my chest. I look around and hear no weird noise which should mean, I'm safe enough to go back.

I stand up and then think better of it, I hear a fast movement around the trees. I stand there, backing away against the tree. I look around but I can't make out anything, it's moving to fast. But I can smell it, the smell of the dead, nauseous, it's a strigoi. Speaking about strigoi. I sigh. "Get out of the trees I know your out" it doesn't do anything, "I'm not stupid I can sense you","so can we all so don't dare move" and out comes a dozen strigoi from all around.

"Master Kalona with be most please and so will Justin","Justin?" I sound shocked, "he's here?!","not at the moment but in a few minutes he will" I shrug, I'm not gonna wait those minutes to find out what will happen if he comes.
