Chapter 8
A/P
"Arianne, no." Rose said frantically to me.
"Why? Don't you think he deserves to know?" I asked,
"He left!" she said angrily.
"He didn't know," I screamed.
"No he didn't but you weren't going to be the reason he stayed. I wanted him to stay for me not you!"
"Put your pride aside, what about what I want, what about a family?" I asked.
"I only met my father when I was eighteen so you still have two more years before you can complain, and I also never really had a mother so you can't pull that one on me either!"
"At least you had someone, you had Lissa and her family, I on the other hand have had nothing. NOTHING my whole life. I have never known what it is like to be loved and I could never talk to anyone. You had SOMEONE!"
"Wait, wait, ait. What is this talk about father and family?" Dimitri asked so stupidly.
"What do I actually have to say the words for you to understand?" I asked.
"Roza," he said lasing the words with his Russian accent. Rose froze.
"Do not call me that, never ever call me that!" she whispered coldly. Dimitri flinched at her cold words.
"Rose then. What are you two talking about?" he asked, still so stupid.
I noticed that we were the only ones in the room. When had the others left?
"Arianne." I lifted my head at the sound of my voice being spoken. The room was silent except for my loud breathing due to all the shouting and screaming.
"What about her?" he asked again, still none the wiser.
At that moment I left the room. She needed to tell him in private and I also really didn't want to be in the room when the truth came out, I really wasn't in the mood to be studied like a biology experiment or a rare animal just discovered.
R/P
"Arianne." I said. I was hoping he would have pieced my and Arianne's words together by now and reviled the ultimate truth although this truth isn't as big a deal to me as it will be to Dimitri.
"What about her?" he asked. It was really irritating me that he hadn't discovered the truth yet. He is a smart man; he should be able to figure it out.
When Dimitri had finished his question I saw Arianne slip out of the room. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised; she does have Dimitri's instinct of flight whenever things could become awkward.
"She's your…" I trailed off, hoping he would understand. I had never really said the words out loud.
"My what?" he asked, I really think he knows but wants me to say it so he doesn't make the mistake.
"She's your daughter," I said quietly.
"What?" he asked breathlessly.
"She's your daughter," I said a little louder.
"I, um... I heard you… it's a little hard to comprehend... She… She's, umm... she's my... my umm... my…" he stuttered. I don't think he can say it. Which is heart breaking… I thought he always wanted a child? That's what he said. That was his biggest reason to leave me. But if that's the case, what's the problem? IS it because she's part mine. I thought that wouldn't matter.
"Yes, she's your daughter, look I'm really sorry. It was stupid of us, more her than me, to think that you would want to know about her. I'm sorry. Don't hurt her to much when you tell her you don't want to be her dad."
"You think I don't want her? Of course I want her. I'm genetically designed to care about her, so of…" I cut him off.
"What the fuck do you mean by: you're genetically designed to care about her! She is your daughter Dimitri. You don't have to care about her. And if I were you I would not repeat that to her because you may just break her heart! I never wanted to tell you about her. So you saying that shows me why. She deservers real love, not love that is there genetically! I don't even know how to phrase what I want to say to you, because I am so utterly angry, pissed and furious!, other than; you are a complete and utter dick, ass, and other words that can never be repeated out loud." I screamed, I just hope that Arianne didn't hear any o that.
"Rose, I never meant it like that, it's just. I don't know. I'm sorry. I care about her and not just because of the genetics. I don't even know why I said that. I just.. I can't think, I can't talk. This is a huge shock." He said really quickly.
I took a few deep breathes.
"What are we going to do?" I asked because I had no clue myself.
"First we need to talk to her."
L/P
We all sneaked out of the room as Arianne shouted at Rose about having someone. I had no idea about anything. I never knew that Arianne felt this way. It was truly hart broken at how unfair the world was, here is a sixteen year old girl that has never known what it feels like to have a family, or known what it is like to love and be loved.
The screaming had stopped and there was some noise on the stairs as Arianne walked down the stairs with glistening eyes.
"I'm going for a walk," she said quickly, he voice broke on the last word.
This whole situating was very painful to watch. The biggest shocker was that Rose was alive; bit the not so nice part was that she hates me. I never thought that would happen, I never meant to leave Arianna.
"This is not a very good day," said Olena.
"You think?" said Tasha, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Tasha," said Christian.
"She has some right Christian. She is upset that Roza is back, it's upsetting for all of us, we all knew her."
"Know" I said.
"What?" asked Christian, confused.
"We know Rose, there is no knew." I said.
Rose ran down the stairs.
"Where is Arianne?" she asked frantically.
"Rose, calm down, she just went for a little walk." I said matter of factly.
"Alone?" she asked coldly. Her voice made me shiver, it was very frightening.
"She was upset, she needed her space."
"She was attacked by a strigoi a couple of hours ago, I'm back and you let her go out ALONE?" she shouted.
"I'm sorry. I didn't think. I'm sure she's fine."
"You never think Vasilisa that is the biggest problem. And for your sake, she better be fine," she said, he voice dripping with venom.
I resisted the urge to step back and run away as her red eyes stared me down. And then she as gone and I let go a breath of air that I didn't realise I was holding. She's dangerous Lissa, your best friend is gone, I told myself.
