5. Seperation

Chapter Five: 

Separation

Kyle

 

" Kyle. Dimitri. We need to talk about your relationship." Mother says sternly, gesturing to the couch.

  We take a seat and both our families stare at us. I glanced at Dimitri and he at me.

  " Kyle, we know you love Dimitri and we know he loves you too. We also know you want to always be together, but I am afraid that cannot be. Kyle, you are our heir to the family and we need you to marry Arina so that we can have another heir, and that cannot happen if you stay with Dimitri." Mother tells us and our families all mumble in agreement.

  I clutch Dimitri's hand tightly. Were they intending for us to be separated!? I quickly look up at Dimitri and he has an intense and shocked look on his face. Arina sits in the corner like a proper lady with her back straight and hands folded. She glances at me then back to my mother.

   " Dimitri. We're taking you away from the academy for awhile until you two can live without each other. When Dimitri comes back to the academy you two are not to be seen together." Dimitri's mother begins, "I am sending Victor to observe you two to make sure you are not together."

  My mother looks at us sadly. " It's for the best. You need to be with someone who can leave both families an heir." She says

   I can feel hot tears streaking down my face and I swear I could see Dimitri blinking back some too. " Mother, please, don't do this..." I beg her shakily, " I cannot live without Dimitri! He's my other half, without him I am not complete!" I cry

   No one says anything until Dimitri speaks up. " Kyle's right. I, too, cannot be without him. He is also my other half and I am nothing without him!" Dimitri says in a voice I've never heard before.

   Dimitri's father flicks his hand and two guards grab both Dimitri and I in a firm grasp. Our hands are still tangled together and we both refuse to let go. I've never seen him like this before. Both families were on their feet in case they needed to step in to get us a part. Dimitri elbowed the guard in the stomach and I kicked the guard holding my in the leg. They both cringed and Dimitri grabbed hold of my hand tighter and we fled the mansion. We climbed up into a pine tree deep in the forest. I clutched onto Dimitri's shirt, I could feel hot tears running down my face.

 

   I could feel Dimitri breathing hard, not from running, vampires never run out of breath when running, but from fear of being separated. We could hear the sounds of their voices and feet hitting the ground. They had the hounds with them. Dimitri had an intense look on his face. I knew he was coming up with a plan of his. A plan where we could run away and be together. Some where that they can't find us. Dimitri squeezed my hand tightly and began to pull me up farther into the tree. I looked at him, I was shaking. They were serious. They would separate us no matter what it took. Why? Why couldn't they just accept us!?

   " Kyle! Dimitri! Come down immediately!!!" My father yells up the tree.

   Dimitri continues to cling my to his chest, refusing to let me go. My father looks at my cousin Regus and he nods. Regus springs up the tree and starts climbing up like mad. Dimitri pushes me up the tree further, I follow him but something grabs hold of my foot. Regus grips me tight, pulling me down.

   " NO!!" I yell and Dimitri whips around, taking hold of my hand. Regus pulls really hard and of Dimitri and I tumble to the ground. The guards grab a hold me and Dimitri once again before we can attempt escape again.

   " Kyle, you should know better! Our line will END if you stay with Dimitri! Same goes for his family!" My mother yells to me and I flinch.

   I look away from her to Dimitri. She grabs my face in her hand and yanks me head to face her. Her long nails dig into my skin, piercing it.

   " Look at me when I speak to you!" She shrieks and hits my hard across the face.

   Dimitri growls at her like a hungry animal ready to kill and lashes from the guards, getting loose for a moment I say his name and his hand intertwines with mine. He kicks the guard holding me but we're surrounded. We slowly back up and more guards take hold of us. His family begins to walk away and mine leaves in the opposite direction. The guards begin to pull us away from each other but I won't let go. Our grips are tight but we're losing. I can feel our hands losing grip. I feel something sharp slide against my skin, and the last thing I remember was Dimitri yelling my name and his blue blue eyes.
