Chapter 2~So this is hell

Sitting in the church, I lost sense of time completely. An hour or two must have passed before some people started pouring into the little church. I glanced at the screen of the cell phone Lissa had bought me for my 19th birthday a few months back. It was now 8:30PM and I knew the vampire day had already begun. I was hoping maybe Lissa or Adrian would come looking for me but my wishes weren't answered. I really wanted to talk about the ice that had seemed to form around my already bruised and broken heart but thinking about it I knew Lissa and Adrian were not the right people to pour my feelings out to at this particular point in time.

Adrian may be my boyfriend and he may put up with a lot with me but he definitely wouldn't want me crying on his shoulder about an ex-boyfriend of mine. That's a way to kill a relationship fast.

Lissa was my best friend but her withholding this deadly secret from me had hurt me almost as much as the fact that Dimitri and Tasha were engaged. But I had to see things from her perspective as well. Even if I didn't like the result. Her and I were bonded and were closer than in ways normal people couldn't be. But she also had a connection with Dimitri. Not a romantic one but a spiritual one. One that made her torn between two people she really cared about. Stupid spirit always had to get in the way. Why couldn't I have just stayed dead the first time? Then things would have never turned out this bad for me.

I had no one to lean on. Thinking that I mentally cursed myself out. I was a guardian and it was my duty to be strong. My emotions were making me become soft and that was not a good quality to have when you were the only guardian to the only last living Dragomir.

I sighed in defeat and began to get up when a hand reached out a gripped my shoulder. It wasn't a hard grasp but my guardian reflexes kicked in anyway sending me whipping around to face the intruder on my sad moment. Expecting to see Adrian or Lissa, you could understand how surprised I was to see a graying old dhampir with dark skin tones looking back at me. It took me a moment to place the name with the face but when I did I felt like I was about to feel a whole lot worse.

"You look just as bad as the last time I saw you." Yeva's attitude surprisingly didn't even bring my smart ass side out, "What's that supposed to mean?"

Yeva pushed back her grey hair and plopped down on the pew. The whole time her eyes never left mine but it was painful to return the glare. After awhile I had to avert my eyes to the ground. Her eyes were too much like his and I already had a feeling I'd have to face his eyes too much this summer at Court.

"You still hold traces of a broken heart. It's written all over your face. I take it you've heard the joyous news?" Yeva's voice carried hints of disapproval and her tone seemed a bit sympathetic as well. I sighed in defeat. I may have not been throwing a yearlong pity party but others were defiantly doing it on my behalf.

"And I take it you don't approve of this marriage." I said watching her tone of disapproval and finally meeting her eyes.

Yeva was smiling, "No I approve." I must have frowned because she continued, "Don't get me wrong though. I approve of Dimitri getting married. It's about time he settled down. But I believe that he has rushed this marriage and in rushing has chosen the wrong woman to marry."

I was now frowning, "Wrong woman? Then who's the right one for him?"

Yeva smiled wider, "A woman, who risked her own chances of having a career, abandoned a Royal to whom she was bonded with and has suffered great deals of pain and lose just to return him to his normal self."
