Chapter 1
I stared. It was the blond Strigoi. The one who had spoken to me in the battle.
He grabbed Dimitri and pulled him to the ground. They grappled, strength against strength, and then I saw those fangs sink into Dimitri's neck. The red eyes flicked up and made contact with my own.
I heard another scream - this time, it was my own.
My mother started to double back toward the fallen, but then five more Strigoi appeared. It was chaos. I couldn't see Dimitri anymore; I couldn't see what had happened to him. Indecision flashed over my mother's features as she tried to decide to flee or fight, and then, regret all over her face, she kept running toward us and the exit. Meanwhile, I was trying to run back inside, but someone was stopping me. It was Stan.
"What are you doing, Rose?!! More are coming."
Didn't he understand? Dimitri was in there. I had to get Dimitri.
My mother and Alberta burst out, dragging Ms. Carmack. A group of Strigoi was after them, skidding to a halt just on the edge of the warning light. I was still fighting Stan. He didn't need the help, but my mother grasped a hold of me and tugged me away.
"Rose, we have to get out of here!"
"He's in there!" I screamed, straining as hard as I could. How could I have killed Strigoi and not been able to break free from these two? "Dimitri's in there! We have to go back for him! We can't leave him!"
I was rambling, hysterical, shouting at them all that we had to go rescue Dimitri. My mother shook me hard and leaned close so there were only a couple inches between us.
"He is dead, Rose! We can't go back in there. The sun will be down in fifteen minutes, and they are waiting for us. We're going to be in the dark before we can get back to the wards. We need every second we can get - it still may not be enough."
I could see the Strigoi gathered at the entrance, their red eyes gleaming with anticipation. They completely filled the opening, then I believed. Maybe more. My mother was right. With their speed, even our fifteen-minute lead might not be enough. And yet, I still couldn't take a step. I couldn't stop staring at the cave, back where Dimitri was, back where half of my soul was. He couldn't be dead. If he was, then surely I would be dead too.
My mother slapped me, the pain snapping me out of my daze.
"Run!" she yelled at me. "He is dead! You are not going to join him!"
I saw the panic in her own face, panic over me - her daughter - getting killed. I remembered Dimitri saying he'd rather die than see me dead. And if I stood there stupidly, letting the Strigoi get me, I'd fail both of them.
"Run!" she cried again.
Tears streaming down my face, I ran back to the caves, back to my Dimitri to get killed or to kill the fucking strigoi.
"Rose!"
I ran, black clouds shoot out of my hand, darkness, I understood it was the darkness, all the anger, all the pain I felt released out of my hand killing the Strigoi. I ran into the caves strigoi falling beside me.
I stopped in my track when I saw that the blond strigoi was still over Dimitri. A newfound darkness took over me; a black cloud came out of my hands engulfing the Strigoi in its black covers. Soon the strigoi fell on the ground and I got a clear vision of Dimitri.
All the darkness left me, I fell to the ground and I crawl to Dimitri. I shook him but he did not respond."Dimitri" I whispered. I shook him again "Dimitri!"He did not respond. I continued doing it but he did not respond. He was bleeding very badly from his neck. I kept my hand on it and felt a mesmerizing feeling a hot and cold sensation passed through me like when Lissa used to heal me.
Then it happened.........He opened his beautiful chocolate brown eyes and said in his beautiful accent "Roza". I all but wanted to sleep, I whispered "Dimitri, I love you " and then darkness took over me. The last thing I remember is Dimitri shouting my name "Roza!!!!!"
"Are they going to be okay, doc?" someone said, "yes, Belikov should be fine, but rose we don't know. It's the first time this type of case ever came to me, a dhampir HEALING anyone. She should not be possessing any kind of magic but again rose is not normal, we still don't know what being shadow-kissed does to her. But we are trying our best guardian Hathaway"
What were they talking about? What dhampir healing? And what happened to Dimitri? Is he all right? Then it all came crashing down on me, the cave, the blond strigoi, Dimitri falling, getting bitten, me going after him, killing strigoi, the wonderful feeling. And then it was like I understood everything it was me how healed Dimitri. Dimitri is fine, he is ok.
I was overjoyed with the news. Now it is all I have to do is wake up and see Dimitri's beautiful face and get myself a prove that Dimitri was after all, all right. I was trying my best to open my eyes but it felt so heavy. I tried for at least 4 times then gave up I fell back into the slumber.
Next, when I came to my conscious I felt a large hand holding my hand and a wonderful aftershave smell. DIMITRI, he is sitting beside me, holding my hand. I felt relief wash over me Dimitri was okay he was, most importantly alive and sitting holding my hand. I tried opening my eyes but failed
I continued trying to open my eyes, and FINALLY, I opened my eyes to a sleeping Dimitri holding my hands beside his head
"Dimitri..." my voice was hoarse and my throat was in much need of water but that little noise, along with my motion in my hands was enough to make my Russian god wake up from his slumber
He opened his beautiful eyes blinked 3 times to clear the sleepiness from his eyes and to focus or concentrate on me."Roza!!!! Oh my gosh, Roza, ur alright, I was so worried, NEVER I mean Never ever come to save my life with yours, please don't ever do that to me again. u know how worried I was u nearly got yourself killed saving my life, I ----"
"Hey" I silenced him by putting my finger on his lips. He helped me drink water
"Hey I'm all right "
