Ahhhhhh! I can't believe how soon school is coming up! It's not fair I don't want to go to school yet all I want to do is sit here in my living room and type all day. Yeah dreams never come true here. Of course nobody said it was a perfect world. Anyway I'm so glad that you're all liking this story better than the other version so I shall just continue with this.

Death threats: Yikes…. Should I be scared?

Star: Now you're getting it :D

Flashback

I was on the private jet that Tatiana had requested I use for my departure away from the Royal Court when it happened. I heard a moroi scream from the bathroom and immediately all of the guardians got into defensive mode including me with a small knife in my hand. They hadn't bothered to give me a stake and I think that they were a little preoccupied to worry about that right now.

One by one all of the guardians went down until there were only two us left. I was fighting like crazy trying to take them out, but there seemed to be more coming from all over the place. This was it, I was going to die. All of the training that I had ever received was going to waste right now. All the things my brother and I had ever fought for were going to die.

My only regret was that I wouldn't be able to see Dimitri's brown eyes one last time, and tell him that I loved him more than life itself.

Suddenly I was attacked from behind and shoved onto the floor as the last guardian was taken down by getting his neck snapped. My hands were pinned behind my back and I felt the familiar feel of flex cuffs going around my wrists as my body was pulled up from the floor. I growled and tried my best to fight off the strigoi with my legs, but two of them grabbed my legs and held me down on the floor on my knees as another strigoi revealed him.

"I told you I would get you," I froze as Isaiah snapped back up to me. He grabbed my head in his hands as he leaned down so that he was at my height. I growled at him, but he ignored me as he leaned his head down to my neck. "Thank you."

"I hate you," I said just as I felt two sharp nails piercing my neck. I screamed at the moment of pain until the bliss took over body. I kept my mouth shut as I felt the life being drained from my body. A second later I felt hot liquid running down my throat. I gasped as suddenly I felt so weak. My eyes were closing and my entire body was on fire.

Then blackness engulfed me.

End flashback in Rose's pov

Dimitri pov

"You have a horrible aim Comrade."

What? No it isn't possible, it can't be possible. Roza was not standing here as a strigoi right now. It wasn't possible. I was shocked by how normal she looked besides her pale skin and her small red ring around her naturally brown eyes. I was too shocked by what I was seeing to watch was she was doing. She reached out and knocked my head into a tree causing my vision to fade.

Unsurprisingly I woke up with a headache.

(okay I could not help but quote that page from "Blood Promise" sorry)

It took a few seconds I had no idea where I was or what had happened. I would've thought that I was still in my room if not for the huge mantel on the front of the room. I looked around in confusion because I thought that I had fallen asleep in my room last night after the strigoi attack.

Wait strigoi attack?

Oh god it wasn't a dream, but it had to be. Roza couldn't be a strigoi it was impossible she would rather die than become a strigoi. Heck she would even become a bloodwhore before she would become a strigoi.

I jumped out of the bed and was immediately was met with a throbbing pain in my skull. I gripped my head and sat back down on the bed before I could lose my balance. After catching my breath I got up again and was prepared for the throbbing in my head. Walking over to the door I tried pulling the handle.

Of course it had to be locked….with a passcode on the door. How original. Next I tried the windows, but they were bullet proof meaning no way out through the windows. I went over to the small kitchen looking for anything sharp to maybe defend myself with. There were no knives, no forks, and no spoons. All of the water bottles were made of plastic and the chairs.

Are. Impossible. To. Break. Even with my strength it was impossible to achieve. That doesn't mean that I wasn't trying.

I was still trying to break the chair against the window when I heard a door slam open. I whipped around and started to raise the chair to my attacker. When I pushed it down the person caught it and gave out a frustrated sigh. Only then did I let my eyes focus out and I was shocked to see Roza there with an irritated look on her face. Again I found myself frozen as I stared at her. She looked entirely the same yet so different. Her brown eyes were still the same if you overlooked the red on the rim, but still they were that same shade of brown that I had once loved.

Roz-Rose pushed me back slightly making me almost lose my balance, but luckily I caught it before I could fall. I raised the chair at her again except this time she took it out of my grip completely and threw it against the mantle. I couldn't look at her anymore not without seeing my Roza the same one that had told me she loved me.

"Dimitri," she said. Her voice still had that angelic side yet it had a little more coldness in it, but all I could imagine was that same voice telling me that she loved me. The same one that would help with my drawings and called me comrade. "Stop trying to fight me I'm not going to hurt you." she was trying to sound gentle but I could still detect the ice in her voice.

"Like I'm going to believe that," I snarled at her. I knew that there was only one thing I could do now. I would have to free her soul it would be what she would do for me and I would be willingly to set her free of this life. It was what she had told me when we were in my room that one night.

Flashback.

"What was it like when you saw your brother for the first time?" I asked her. We were sitting on my bed as I was playing with her hair that was fanned out on my lap. She had her eyes closed and looked deep in thought as she remembered. She shuddered at the thought. We were doing this because I thought that it would be nice for her to talk about her brother instead of shutting herself off about it. Roza sighed before opening her eyes again and looking at me.

"Like the whole world just froze he looked almost exactly the same as he did when he was a strigoi. The same messy brown hair and the same eyes as me except for that small sliver of red around the rim. It was like I had seen him again like it had never happened before I got to my senses, but by then it was too late. I had hesitated," she told me tears welling up in her eyes. I knew that she wouldn't let them fall for my sake but sometimes I believed she needed to let it all out. I leaned down and kissed her forehead before sitting back up again.

"What do you mean by hesitated?"

"It's hard to track someone done to kill them, but I knew that was what he wanted. To be free of that life because he wasn't himself he was a monster inside his body. One hesitation was all it took for him to take me away," she said. She got up and turned to face me. "If I turned strigoi I know that I would want someone to kill me before I killed innocent people."

I hesitated before answering.

"That will never happen," I told her. Roza gave me a small smile before kissing me really quickly. I happily kissed her back until she pulled away.

"I love you," she said with love obvious in her eyes.

"I love you too, and I would want someone to free me too if I was ever turned," I replied making her go silent.

"I will never let anything happen to you, I promise."

End flashback

I had to do it. I had to free Roza from the state she was in it was what she would do for me if I was ever in the same position. I went at her again, but she restrained my arms against a nearby wall.

"If you stop struggling you may go without being chained, but if you keep struggling then I'll have to chain you to the wall," she told me calmly keeping my body firmly against hers. All I could think about was that one night when we danced- snap out of it Dimitri. She was still shorter than me, but surprisingly I still felt smaller than her in this situation. "You know you failed out in the woods."

"I was unprepared it won't happen again."

"I know it won't," she said and the way she stated it made it sound like she had nothing to fear about me. Although she knew everything I did because she had taught me all of those things. "You hesitated," she stated.

"Again it won't happen again although I guess I should be happy that I'm well," she told me with a hint of that same smile on her face. The same smile that would make me melt on the spot.

"You're not alive you're dead," I tried telling her, but she didn't listen to me.

"Really? My heart beats," she said pulling my hand to her chest. Sure enough I could feel a soft beat every few seconds. That was impossible. Everything Roza had told me about strigoi were just leaving me at the moment.

"Just kill me and get it out of the way," I begged her. When did I resort to begging?

"No."

"Let me go?" It was worth a shot.

"No."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"There is another way I could turn you," that made me freeze on the spot. That I never considered. No I would not allow that to happen. I would rather die.

"No I would rather die so would you once upon a time," I told her and she just shrugged her shoulders. I had to do something.

"I promise I won't hurt you even now I will still keep that promise," she said letting me go and walking over to the kitchen taking out a plate from the fridge and taking off the plastic covering. I was shocked when I looked at it.

Black bread and Bilini my two favorite foods along with a bag of blood to keep me healthy. Just like I had told her. I refused them which made her rake her hands through her hair. She tried to get me to eat, but I refused as much as possible. Soon she gave up and left the room by slamming the door telling me that she would be back soon.

For the next few hours, or minutes I really wasn't sure, I tried several possible ways to escape my prison that Rose had put me in but it was impossible to get out. I had tried everything. I even went back to the chair and attempted to use it to get out. It still didn't work just like the last time. What was with these infuriating chairs and them not deciding to move?

After I decided that I wasn't getting out anytime soon I told myself that this could all wait until the morning, or the night, or whenever I woke up again. I went over to the bed and gently laid down on the bed and just stared at the ceiling as the dark room blurred my vision along with a few tears.

This was all my fault.

All my fault that my Roza was now a monster.

Hey everyone so just for this I went out and reread "Blood Promise" and "Spirit Bound" (I finally had an excuse to reread those again!) not that one would need an excuse….

So what did you think?

Love to all. 3
