GO READ MY NEW BOOK TATTOOED LOVE

I do not know how long I sat there crying on the floor. It could have been seconds, minutes, days, years, I don't know. I just couldn't understand why someone was going after me.

Then it clicked in my mind. I knew who did it. It was Tasha. She has been so ruthless about this entire competition and has tried everything to get people to leave so she could win.

She was some sick psychopath that would do anything to be Queen. Even kill people. That reminded me: Jill and Mia. I quickly crawled from the bathroom to my bedroom to where they were still laying in a pool of blood.

Tears were streaming down my face and I just prayed that they were alive. I quickly reached them and listened for their breath. Mia seemed to be breathing just fine, so she must have been just unconscious. Jill on the hand was barely breathing and she seemed to have a bigger gash on her forehead.

Mason was on the phone barking out orders while Eddie trying to document everything. "Mason," I said calling out to him. He quickly turned to me to make sure that I was okay and then came over to me. "Get someone in here to take them down to the infirmary. They need medical attention stat." Mason just stood up and dialed some number and was barking out more orders to people.

In the matter of just a few minutes, there were people in there that took Mia and Jill and said that they would be checked out immediately. "Inform me on their status every hour." I demanded and they just nodded and took them out of the room.

People were flooding into the room to start to clean up the mess so I went back into the bathroom. I closed the door and fell to the floor and sat there. I put my head in my hands and started crying; not being able to hold it in anymore.

There was a knock on the door but I decided that I would just ignore it. I just needed to be alone. The knocking continued and I just screamed, "Go away."

"Roza," I knew that voice which caused me to cry even more. The door opened and closed again. The next thing I knew, I was being gathered into Dimitri's arms. He held me tightly and stroked my hair while muttering something to me in Russian.

After a while, when I had no more tears, he pulled me back so he could look at me. He caressed my face and pushed hair behind my ear. Then with his thumb he started to wipe off the lone tears. "Roza, I am so sorry." I looked in his eyes and saw pain, hurt, and regret. "I failed you. I told you I would keep you safe and I didn't. I am so sorry."

I didn't know what to say so I just did the one thing I could think of. I took his face into my hands and kissed him. He responded and started kissing me like there was no tomorrow, as if this was our last kiss. Dimitri shoved his hands into my hair and pulled me even closer to his body.

I turned my body so I was now straddling him and ran my fingers through his hair. His mouth broke from mine and he started kissing my jaw and started kissing my neck. I leaned my head back and tried to suppress the moan that was forming; there were still people in the other room.

Dimitri eventually detached his lips from my neck and gave me a passionate kiss before looking me in the eyes.

"Are you alright?" He asked me with genuine concern in his eyes. I loved it when he put his guard down for me, I feel like I am one of the few people who really see Dimitri for who he is.

"I'll live." I said shrugging not wanting to talk about it.

"Rose-" He said starting to object, but I just stood up.

"Thank you for your concern Dimitri." I said brushing my hands on my dress. "I need to go check up on my maids." I felt bad for just leaving him once again, but right now, I just couldn't think.
