Chapter 11

RPOV

Its been 2 weeks since i wake up. Dimitri has been by my side the entire time holding my hand and kissing me when where alone. FINALLY. He is actually kissing me and admitting that he loves me. i have waited so long for this moment.

Today i get released from hospital but i can't do any training AND i have to be on crutches for the next 2-3 weeks while my leg continues to heal. Lissa offered to heal me but i would prefer to have the broken leg and bruises than to have the darkness appear.

I am released at about 1pm human time (so midnight at the academy). Dimitri is walking with my across the quad carrying my overnight bag while i go very slowly and uncoordinatedly towards my dorm, trying not to fall in small hole hidden under grass. We walk into silence towards my dorm the only sound the soft breeze rustling the trees.

I hobble behind him slightly focusing on the ground so hard that i didn't notice Dimitri had stopped walking and turned to face me, because i was looking down i didn't notice that he had stopped walk and this caused me to hit a brick wall of muscle. I stumble back nearly losing my footing as Dimitri's hand snakes out and grabs around my waist bring on a weird sense of deja vu.

*Flashback*

It was him, the guy i'd seen across the street watching me. He was older than us, maybe Mid-twenties, about 6'6, 6'7 and under different circumstances- say, when he wasn't holding up our desperate escape- i would have thought he was hot. Shoulder length brown hair, tied back in a short pony tail. ram brown eyes. A long brown coat -a duster , i think its called.

"Leave her alone," i growled. "don't touch her."

His face was un readable, but he held out his hands in what was apparently supposed to be some sort of calming gesture, like i was a rabid animal he was planning to sedate.

"I'm not going to-"

He took a step forward. Too close.

I attacked him, leaping out in an offensive anmeuver i hadn't used in two years, not science Lissa and I had run away. The move was stupid, another reaction born of instinct and fear. And it was hopeless. He was a skilled guardian, not a novice who hadn't finished his training. he also wasn't weak and on the verge of passing out.

And man was he fast. I'd forgotten how fast Guardians could be, how they could move and strike like cobras. he knocked me off as though brushing away a flay, and his hands slammed into me and sent me backward. I don't think he meant to strike that hard-probably just intend to keep me away- but my lack of coordination interfered with my ability to respond. unable to catch my footing, i started to fall, heading straight toward the sidewalk at a twisted angle, hip-first. it was going to hurt. A lot.

Only it didn't.

Just as quickly he had blocked me, the man reached out and caught my arm, keeping me up right.

*End Flashback*

I looked up into his eyes. They were warm and deep, so deep i thought i could get lost in them. He brushes the small strand of hair that had made its way on to my face behind my ear, his eyes never leaving mine.

"Sorry" He apologised a worried look cross ing his face.

"Its ok, don't worry about it" i say moving eyes away from his to look towards the ground hiding my face as deep blush forms.

I feel the hand that brushed the hair from my face slid down my my cheek until it reaches my chin. Using the hand he tilts my head up until my eyes met his again.

"Roza" he sighs.

"Mmm" I mumble trying to avoid his gaze again

"Do you know how worried you had me?" The sadness in his voice brings me up short making me look into his eyes once again.

"No…h-how worried were you?" I say in a very low voice

"i was so afraid to see you coughing up blood then when you stopped breathing i thought that i had actually lost you. You weren't responding to the CPR and then when you flat lined" his voice was wavering like he was trying to repress a sob " i thought you were gone, and i realised that i couldn't live without you. I don't want to live without you" he finishes. Grabbing my face in his hands he brings his face down to mine to met my lip with a long hard passionate kiss. His hands moved so bother were holding the side of my face while mine moved to the back of his neck, letting the crutches fall down behind me.

We stay like this for about two minutes just kissing before i have to brake away for air.

"You know a girl has to breath right?" I giggle looking up into his gorgeous eyes.

"Mmmm, well i suppose we should get moving before we get caught." he smirks whilst picking up my crutches and begins walking again. We reach my dorm about five minutes later. Placing the key in the lock i open the door and make my way inside stopping just before he could close the door. I turn to him very slowly because of these god damn crutches and pull him into a tight embrace crushing my lips to his. My arm wrap around his neck bringing him closer and his hands hold my face. We are kissing getting lost to our selves when we hear a throat being cleared.

Turning around I see none other than my Guardian mother Janine Hathaway sitting on my bed.

And boy did she not look happy.
