Dimitri hadn't heard any of this before, but now as he was about to enter the room, Rose's words had him stop midway, he stood by the door silently listening.

"I was asleep Christian, I didn't see her approach me,I was caught unguarded."

It irked Dimitri to no end that he didn't even have an inkling on the matter.

"I didn't know why she'd do it, neck is always a preferred spot for feeding right?

Instead she chose the side of my stomach, and in the beginning, I didn't even feel anything.But then..."

The silence that persisted next bore heavily on Dimitri.

Mere seconds felt like hours.

If it was anything near to what he was thinking, it would not be right, he needed to urgently look into the matter, this time he didn't want Rose and the princess dealing with darkness and its effects alone.

The Guardian in him urged him into action next, as he opened the door to find his Roza, sitting on the bed, with her head held in her hands, the call disconnected, the phone now discarded , lay beside the pillow.

He took careful steps forward and embraced the love of his life, wrapping her up in his duster, as he shifted her onto his lap.

Wrapping his form around her, he tried comforting her.

"It's okay Roza, you can tell me about it.I'm here for you."

He said, wishing she'd look up at him so that he'd be able to know a bit of what'd been going on in her mind.

Rose instead, wrapped her arms around his his neck and placed a light kiss on his cheek.He could feel her smile against his skin, as she peppered his face with butterfly kisses.

"Roza what was that about?" He questioned tentatively.

Lifting her shirt a bit from her stomach Rose pointed at the small swollen part of skin.

"Mosquito comrade, I was referring to mosquito.I was trying to freak Chris out, but looks like you fell for it too."
