I sat in there for awhile when I looked at the phone it was midnight, Dimitri where are you? I clicked on his name and sent him a text since he said not to make to much noise. “Dimitri where are you it is almost midnight?” I sat there patiently waiting for him to respond, then the screen flashed and I immediately clicked on his name, “ I am almost there can you hear anything?” I put my ear towards the hatch, all I heard was a growl like an animal and it sounded closed. “ I hear something growling.” I waited another minute and he responded, “Carefully on the wall next to you there should be a button press it a small screen will pop up it is inside the safe room it will let you know if he is in there or not.” I slowly started pressing along the wall until a brick slide in and out came a very small screen. I looked at the screen and could see a very large man standing there staring at the screen. So I opened my phone again clicking on his name, “He is in the safe room and is staring at
My eyes fluttered open as the sun came through the window, I don’t know how long that I was asleep, but Dimitri was nowhere to be found. I started to freak out again and just as I started to panic, Dimitri walked through the door with a tray full of food. I tried to calm my nerves, but it didn’t seem to be working Dimitri sat the tray of food on the table by the bed coming over sitting down next to me. “Vic take a deep breath in and let it out slowly just breath I didn’t leave you I just went to get you some food.”I listened to what he said I could feel my heart rate slowly calming down, “I am sorry I don’t mean to be such a burden!”I looked down at the bed at that is when I felt his hand lifting my chin up,“Victoria you are never going to be a burden you have every right to panic!”He grabbed the tray setting it in front of me,“Now try to eat something I am having your things moved into your room now, once you’re done I will take you to your
Aphrodite walked me around the mansion showing me all the unique things that she liked to do the one thing that caught my attention was the library. It was as large as a whole library back at my hometown, by the time she had walked me around the whole mansion we ended up back at Dimitri’s mother’s office. We walked in, “Did you have fun dear?” I just nodded my head I looked around, but I didn’t see Dimitri around, “Um where is Dimitri?” She just let out a chuckle, “He had to go handle some things at the business office, but I promise he will be back later.” I just smiled keeping my head down, “Victoria please look at me I promise that you are safe here with us.” I looked up at Dimitri’s mother, “Now my dear have you found out anything else about the death of your parents or if they even have a suspect?” I just shook my head no, “Honestly, we had to leave because of that maniac before we could even ask anymore, I am worried that it has something to do with my biological mother.” Her
I don’t know how long I was asleep because when I woke up the tub was cold, and my skin was pruning. I stood up reaching over grabbing the towel from the rack and making sure I wrapped it around my body. But when I got to the bedroom the pain in my stomach started again but then it started spreading outwards. “DIMITRI HELP PLEASE” that was the only thing I could get out of my mouth before Dimitri came running in the room with his sister and mother. They looked at each other then Dimitri said something, but I couldn’t make out what he was saying the pain was starting to become too much. His sister ran back into the room with a syringe and that is when I felt a pinch in my neck, I looked up at Dimitri and he just smiled at me, “Just give it a minute Vic I promise the pain will be gone.” I just laid there with my head in Dimitri’s lap waiting for the pain to dissipate. Once the pain subsided, I realized I was still in my towel, I could feel the redness starting to creep onto my cheeks.
I could hear the voices surrounding me but I couldn’t open my eyes it was like they were glued shut. “Aphrodite, I told you to take the damn guards for a reason. Why the hell were you out without them.” “Well I wanted her to feel like it was a normal girl time not like her life was constantly in fucking danger Dimitri.” “He is fucking after her and you thought that it was a good damn idea to go out without guards.” I started to try and force my eyes open but still was having trouble, I tried talking but it was like something was forcing me not to speak. I moved my fingers on my hand and apparently that worked because I heard Dimitri, “Go get the doctor she is moving her fingers.” “Dimitri that doesn’t mean she is awake!” “Vic if you can hear me, please move your finger again!” So, I moved my finger again to make sure they knew that I was awake. “GO GET THE DAMN DOCTOR NOW!” Aphrodite must have listened because I didn’t hear her voice just the door closing behind her. “Vic it
We laid down there for awhile watching movies just spending time together at some point we ended up falling asleep. I don’t know how long we were asleep for, but Dimitri ended up waking us up and when I looked out the window it must have been early because it was sunny out. “What time is it?” He looked at me like I was crazy, “You guys have been asleep all night!” I looked over at Cleopatra and she just shrugged her shoulders at me, “Well, we better get up and get ready mama found some stuff about your mother she messaged me last night about it.” I looked at Dimitri, “Really, please tell me this isn’t a joke?” He just started laughing, “Vic, go get ready and meet us in mom’s office!” I never jumped up so fast in my life, I ran out of the theater and straight up to my room I just grabbed a t-shirt and some jeans with some shoes. I didn’t need to take a shower because I took one yesterday. As soon as I was done getting dressed, I ran back down the stairs an
Aphrodite left me in the room to get into some comfortable clothes knowing that I needed to change so that I was comfortable. I look at the clock on the wall and it was about time to head down for dinner, I looked around to make sure that all the bags were packed and ready to go. Once I seen that I had all the bags that we packed I headed downstairs and into the dining room. I entered and seen that everyone was waiting for me, “I am so sorry I thought dinner was going to be later!” Cleopatra just smiled at me, “It is ok dear, we just got down here a little early is all!” I went over and sat down and looked at my plate and it kind of looked like a cordon bleu. I looked over to Dimitri and he just shook his head nodding towards Aphrodite, “Is this homemade cordon bleu Aphrodite?” She just shrugged her shoulders at me, before giving me a smile. I didn’t waste anytime as I dug into it once it hit my tongue it was like heaven in my mouth. I unintentionally moaned, and when I look
Once we all got into our hotel rooms, I immediately threw my stuff on the bed, I looked over at DImitri and Aphrodite and they were talking among themselves. I cleared my throat so that they would look at me and I would not seem like I was being rude at all. They both turned towards me, “Can we go start looking for her now?” Aphrodite just started laughing at me before shaking her head, “Ya give me a second to use the restroom ok!” I started jumping up and down I couldn’t believe that I would hopefully meet my real mother today. I sat back down on the bed waiting on Aphrodite and then the nerves started to kick in and before I knew it Dimitri was sitting next to me with his hand on my back. “Are the nerves starting to sink in yet?” I just nodded my head, he rubbed small circles on my back, “It’ll be ok just don’t get your hopes up ok, it's better to be under prepared then over prepared.” Again I just nodded my head, but before I could say anything else Aphrodite came out of the
Dimitri I watched as Theia was trying to explain to Victoria that their were some things she wasn’t allowed to discuss with her because of a blood oath to her mother. Victoria was so hopeful when she came here but she found out that this woman is her aunt. I know Victoria well enough to know that this crushed her, Theia was trying to explain to her as much as she could without dieing from the blood oath but she wasn’t giving Victoria much information to go on right now. I could see that she was getting frustrated by it, she eventually yelled at her and got up and walked out of the secret room. Rocky went with her so I knew that she would be safe but I also know that she needed time to cool down. I looked across at Theia and could see that she was fighting the tears back after Vic’s outburst. “I am sorry but Victoria has been through a lot these last few months, her adoptive parents were murdered and this man has been chasing her non stop. Not only that she doesn’t know anything abou
