Love Bound (A Vampire Academy Fan fiction)

Chapter 8

"Guardian Hathaway, may I have your attention please?" Lissa looked at me, really irritated now.
"Uh, yeah. What happened?" I replied, thinking why in the world Lissa was irritated with me.
"I'm asking you for the third time now, Rose" - well, that explained few things - "and if you don't answer, I would never talk to you." She paused and said, now anxious,"Did you tell Christian? He is not angry, right? With you, with Dimitri, with..... me?"
That explained Lissa's earlier irritation with me.
"He's not angry." I assured her.
"Then why didn't he come to meet me?" She asked, refusing to be sidetracked.
And that explained totally why she was anxious.
*flashback*
Well, to begin with, sparky don't actually have that much of a good control over his temper, and with Lissa in danger - not actually danger, but yeah, whatever - he's not gonna sit back and relax. He'd let out his anger by yelling at me and Dimitri, instead of setting something - someone - on fire. Even though that would have been wrong, I would have loved to see that.
He yelled at Dimitri for not telling him earlier. Dimitri tried to reason with him and that too very calmly - How the hell does he manage that? I don't know - but, you know; Christian's Christian. I tried to interrupt, but no one even gave me a chance to complete my sentence.
And then the unexpected happened.
"And you Rose? Don't you know how to take care of Lissa? For God's sake, you're her guardian! How can this happen under your supervision? Or were you too busy with something else?" Christian yelled at me, after finishing half of his quota of anger on Dimitri.
Eh? Where did I come from?
My anger boiled over. A small part of my brain noticed one of the many reasons why I wanted extra training.
"Now that Christian Ozera has done yelling at his personal guardian for wrong reason, he turned to his girlfriend's guardian to yell at her now, and again for a wrong reason. You know what? You're a self-righteous moron. Do you think I would have let her faint like that? Even if it was my fault?" I spat at him, we glaring at each other furiously.
"Maybe I can tell what happened---" Dimitri tried interrupting, but he was cut off by Christian.
"Shut up Belikov. Don't you dare to take her side. She's her guardian. She should be able to take care of her. So, just shut--"
"Don't you dare to talk to Dimitri like that, Christian. If you uttered another word against him, I swear I'll beat you to death. Dimitri won't be able to save you from me then."
"Oh, how sweet! See the love! It's overflowing now!" He said sarcastically. "Who's afraid of you, guardian? Bring it on. We both know you'll be in prison if you so much as touch me. I'm a Royal too, remember?" He smiled smugly.
I knew I has lost the battle but sparky is gonna pay for it.
I looked around, to see if someone from the hospital came outside to shut us up again and tell to move from here too - well, we were forcibly removed from hospital, and we're told to carry out our yelling session anywhere but not here, in the hospital. Honestly, who would keep three yelling idiots in the silence zone area?
"Do you think I care? I'll happily go in prison if I get to beat you." I paused. Then, I turned to Dimitri, keeping the something's-brewing-in-Rose's-head look. "And by the way, Dimitri, when Liss was awake--"
"Lissa was...... awake? When? Why didn't you tell me? I wanted to meet her." Christian's voice softened, anger dissolving from his features, anxiety replacing it.
"When Liss was awake, she specifically said she didn't want to meet you. So really, there was no point to tell you whether she was awake or not." I said nonchalantly.
Final blow. Sorry Christian. I thought, not feeling sorry at all.
"Rose....." Dimitri sighed. I gave him a warning glare. Please comrade, don't ruin this.
"Oh, okay." He said in a daze, too much stunned and sad to keep up his usual cocky self. "Dimitri, I'll be in my room. If Lissa - I mean if I'm needed call me immediately."
Hah. Worth it.
Christian turned away from us, towards his room, his shoulders slumped, his walk slow.
"Rose, this is wrong. Now Lord Ozera will be worried about Lissa more than before and maybe angry on her too." Dimitri frowned, looking disappointed.
Well, part of me wanted to make Dimitri happy, but the part of me, happy for seeing Christian like that, was bigger.
"Oh comrade, she'd said that she don't want to meet anyone. I conveyed her message to him." I replied.
"But she didn't specifically mentioned Christian's name, she just said she don't want to meet anyone." He said, still disapproving.
"I know. But I had to take revenge. He said you to shut up. And that too very rudely. How can I take that in calmly?" I said innocently.
And with that, he started laughing. "Oh my wild Roza, if you insult me, that's okay. But if someone else just say Shut up to me, you're on fire. What am I gonna do with you?" He wrapped his arms around me, looking amused now, and said, "How will you explain this guardian Hathaway?"
"Because" - I hugged him more tightly - "You're mine. And mine only. I can do anything with you."
And with that I pressed my lips to his, the sun's rays wrapping us subtly.......
"Rose! What the hell are you thinking about?!" Lissa was frustrated.
"Oh sorry, what were we talking about?"
"Ugh. Never mind." Lissa huffed and stared out of the window.
"We were talking about Christian, right? Well, nothing really happened. He came as soon as he knew about you. We told him you're not awake. He then said that he'll be in his room."
"Didn't he say anything else?" Lissa asked curiously.
"Nope. Looked like he was upset about being woken up from his sleep. He wanted his sleep, I guess." I said casually, all the while laughing internally.
"Oh, Okay." She didn't say anything else and I realized my control over my laughter was slipping away.... swiftly.
"Hey Liss, I'll be outside. Call if you need me. 'Kay?" I shrugged.
"Okay." She smiled at me.
I mashed my lips together to restrain laughing and slowly walked away from the room, out of the hospital, across the lawn and to my room.
All the while laughing heartily.
