Who's Mind Is In My Mind? (complete)

Chapter 12

"It all is, usually."

"Usually?" Chris asked.

"As you all know, I dream walk with Rose at least once a week, sometimes even more." 

We all nodded sadly because we did in fact know that.

"When Dimitri started talking about a woman going to Ibiza, Dubai, Sydney, Venice, Egypt, Paris and all the other places. I began to wonder, and then when he said that about throwing the roses in the nearby rivers. I thought I was sure. But when he told us what she said as she threw each of the roses into the water. I knew for sure...."

"Knew what for sure, Adrian?"

He looked at me for a moment, before he turned back to Dimitri, which is when he finally spoke.

"That the woman in your dreams..."

He stopped for a moment to collect his thoughts. When he had done that he continued.

He looked directly at Dimitri again. "The woman in your dreams... is Rose."

Everyone gasped, and started shooting questions at him, so fast that he couldn't answer them.

"Everyone please. Adrian, tell us what you mean."

"Was Rose touching you anywhere, when you staked Dimitri?"

I thought for a few minutes. Then I remembered, that at one point I had started to collapse, and Rose caught me and held me up.

"Yes. At one point, she was holding me up."

He nodded. "I think that that is when the bond between the two of you expanded. I also think, that when that happened, you actually shadow kissed Dimitri. But instead of a bond forming between the two of you, a bond formed between Rose and Dimitri. Look at his heart and tell me what you see."

"I looked earlier, and saw what looks like part of a crimson bridge."

"Is any of that even possible?" Christian asked and Adrian just shrugged, not really knowing how to answer his question.

"I guess anything is possible, we still don't know a lot about spirit." I answered his question myself.

"So, what is this bridge, that you are talking about?" Dimitri asked.

"It looks as though there is a bridge between you and Rose. Like the one between Rose and Lissa. As long as I have known them there has been a red bridge, from one's heart to the other. I think the color variation, between the two bridges. Is because of the different types of love between Rose and Lissa, and between you and Rose."

"So what you are saying... is that I am bound to my Roza?!!"

"It looks that way. I think, that the rage that you felt was actually all of the pain, hurt, heartbreak, anger and loneliness that Rose has felt since you were turned. Combine that with your own haywire emotions of course. Like when Rose takes Lissa's darkness, I think that you took Rose's darkness, or at least some of it. Then it combined with your own and your own rage an anger at Tasha, and wham bam thank you ma'am, instant world war III in the gym. I think, that it just took all this time to break through. I think that what finally made it all break through was this Tasha situation. I also think that it is possible that when you were restored, that somehow, you and Rose got some of Lissa's magic."

"Now that I think about what I saw on the tape. It does remind me of how my Roza looked and acted the night she almost lost her battle with the darkness."

"What do you mean Dimitri?" I asked. That news shocked the crap out of me, because I had never known that Rose had ever had a battle like that with my darkness. She'd always told me that she and it were fine and not to worry about it.
