Chapter 11 - Apartment Hunting

RPOV

I was in the woods at St. Vlad's. I was wearing jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. That's unusual.

"Adrian! Get your sorry ass out here! I swear to God if I ever see you again, I will rip your balls of!" I screamed.

"Rose?" came Lissa's sweet voice. I spun around and there she stood, in a light pink dress, with tears in her jade-green eyes. I ran at her and tackled her to the ground.

"Lissa! I am soooo sorry! I love you but I can't be there anymore but I have so much to tell you! Oh my God! Liss, you're dream-walking! I'm so proud," I screamed at her, holding her tight. She clung to me just as tightly.

"Rose, you have nothing to apoligize for. I'm the one whose sorry. I've been a horrible friend. I was hoping that Tasha and Dimitri would get together but I had no clue you guys love each other! I should have known. I mean really, how else could he make you listen? Anyway, I love you, too and I miss you but I understand why you guys left. So tell me what you need to," she said, barely breathing between sentences.

"Adrian and Tasha did this," I started.

"What do you mean, Rose?" Liss interupted me.

"Adrian wants me, Tasha want Dimitri, they figured out we love each other and so they are working together to break us up," she gasped, "Adrian planted ideas in my head through compulsion, Dimitri too. He made me think I was good enough and he made Dimitri hang out with Tasha more. I almost staked myself the day we left," I whispered.

"ROSE!" Liss screamed at me, outraged.

"Hey! I'm fine, Dimitri saved me on time. But on with the story. Promise not to tell anyone what I'm about to say. Anyone includes Christian, Lissa. He's compellable, if that's even a word."

"I promise, Rose. I will not tell anyone, even Christian."

"Dimitri took me home. To his family and they are just wonderful. I already love all of them so much and his grandmother, Yeva, gave me some amazing news," I told her, confident that she wouldn't tell.

"What's the news?" she asked, hitting my leg in excitment.

"Since I'm shadow-kissed, I can have children with another dhaphirs!" Lissa squealed and tackled me.

"OMIGAWD! I'm gonna be an aunty!" she screamed, "Well, eventually, anyway." I laughed, and then the dream started to fade, "Rose, I'm so sorry, my alarm is going off. I'll come see you soon. I love you." We hugged.

"See you soon, Liss. I love you too."

I woke up and shifted more into Dimitri, which woke him up. I smiled up at him.

"You look happy," he told me and kissed me softly on the lips.

"I had a spirit dream," I started, Dimitri looked panicked, "It was Lissa!"

"That's great, Roza," he glanced at the clock over my shoulder and groaned, "It's after eight, Roza. We should get up." I sighed but got up with Dimitri anyway. We took a shower together and got dressed. Then we headed downstairs.

"Dimka! Roza! Did you sleep well?" Olena greeted us from the kitchen.

"Yes, we did Mamma," Dimitri answered, "Roza got to talk to Lissa."

"Oh! That's wonderful, Roza! She can do that dream- walk thing you told me about now," she asked.

"Yep," I said, popping the p, "What's cooking?" There was a wonderful scent coming from the stove.

"Blini. Sit down, my dears, I'll fix you some food," Olena told us.

"Thank you, Olena," I said as I sat down, then I realized we were the only ones here, "Where is everyone?"

"Yeva's out shopping, Karo and Sonya are at work, Vika and Paul, and Zoya is at daycare."

"Ah," Olena placed a plate of blini in front of me. I moaned as soon as I took a bite. It was delicious. I practically inhaled it and then had seconds. Yeah, I'm back.

"I'm so glad you're getting better," Dimitri whispered in my ear and then kissed my neck. Olena had gone upstairs to take a nap while I was part way through my second plate of food. I smiled.

"Me too, Comrade," I whispered back, "You don't know how scared I was. It was like something that wasn't me took over my body and made me do things that could kill me. I guess that's what compulsion does though." I shivered.

"I'm so sorry, Roza. I feel like this is all my fault. Like if I would have just avoided Tasha when she got to the academy, none of this would have happened." I signed and leaned into him. We sat in comfortable silence for several minutes.

"Alright, let's go," Dimitri said standing up and taking my hand.

"Go where?" I asked, completely lost.

"Apartment hunting."

"Oh, I thought we were gonna stay here for a while," I was still confused.

"Well, my dear Roza, I do not intend to have sex with you in my mother's house but I do intend to make love to you soon, so we're going to need our own place," he leaned down and whispered in my ear. My eyes widened.

"Well, when you put it that way," we left to go apartment hunting.
