bound to him (Rose&Dimitri)

Chapter 4

I couldn't bear to feel this unbeating heart of mine ache.  I closed the door behind me and tried to calm my breathing.  How could he still make me feel like this?  How could he still make me feel like I was to weak and fragile compared to him?  And, did it seem like he was crying?  No of course not, Dimitri doesn't cry.  He doesn't care.  What happened the night of the raid was just something that he needed.  Let's face it I am the hottest chick here.  He had to get rid of his needs somehow.

I jumped in the shower and sighed as the hot water hit my chilling body.  I'd have to find someone to eat soon.  And even though Lissa would be in my room tonight I couldn't blow my cover yet.  There was a huge dance coming up on Friday night and that's where I would take her.  I would need a huge show for everyone.  Plus, headmistresses wanted to me to speak.  What better way to show everyone the joys of being strigoi than on a stage.

"Rose, I'm here!"  Lissa yelled.  Shit!  She walked into the bathroom and saw my body in the shower.  Shit shit shit!  How was I going to hide the bite marks on my neck.  Shit!  My contacts were in the bedroom as well as my teeth.  "Oh sorry!"  She turned away from me and I mumbled under my breath.

"Lissa, can you hand me a towel.  I cant see I got soap in my eye," she quickly did as she was asked and I felt the soft fabric around my arms I got out drying off not opening my eyes.  I ran out lighting fast and put my lenses and fake teeth on running back in a blink of an eye.

"You better?"  I mumbled a yes and she opened her eyes and gasped.  I looked in the mirror and sighed.  I had dried blood on my neck from my food earlier at the store.  "Rose, is that yours?"

"No, when I was getting away from the strigoi I had to kill a few.  Okay like twenty and some blood got on me.  I got I had got it all off."  I wiped at it and it quickly came off.  I scanned my body for the bite marks of my maker but they were gone.  Maybe that last feeding was enough to heal me.

She hugged me tightly and shivered.  "God Rose you're freezing."  I laughed at her hearing my own voice.  It was so different.  I haden't really laughed since before I was changed.  The sound was almost painful to here.  As if, no, you are not turning back to a stupid guardian.

"Well you know I am kind of dripping wet.  Can I put my robe on before your crush me with your hugs?"  I asked, pretended to gag.  She laughed and I felt like my ears were going to bleed.  She let me go and I slipped in my robe and she hugged me again.  I hugged her back and I could smell the blood coming off of her.  She wouldn't be as good as the shopkeeper.  She was still pure.  Never been with anybody in her life.  Lissa on the other hand, had and I was not looking forward to the normal taste of her blood.  But she was moroi and I hadn't had their blood yet.

"Rose, I thought I lost you!  I stayed in my room the day you were gone hoping you would pop up screaming suprise.  But you didn't I was so worried."  She cried and I held her tighter.  She was worried about me?  That was my job to worry about her.  Shut up Rose!  That's not your job anymore!

"I'm here now, Lis.  Don't worry about it."  She smiled and we talked all night.  She told me about her week without me.  Everyone treated her different and Dimitri even taught her how to use a stake.  That wasn't exactly my favorite thing to hear.  She also said that Adrian was missing me like crazy and was probably going to stalk me for awhile now.  I told her I wasn't going to out to classes with her.  She asked if we could go walking like we use to during the day and I shuttered at the thought of even trying to get out in the sun.  She said that Christian even missed me to. 

I guess in a way I missed him to.  I didn't want to feel this way because, I didn't want to feel human again.  When she left I felt my stomach growl and I knew I needed to find food quick.  It was time to test my skills and see if I could get away with killing someone since the sercurty was so tight since the raid.  I already knew I could do, well I thought I could, until I realized Dimtri, too would be guarding the school.

Great!  I might never make it through this week.
