After Dimitri told Rose where the strigoi were hidden Rose went to see him but had an unexpected surprise…
R pov
I was walking to Dimitri's to tell him thank you for trusting me enough to tell me were the strgoi where hiding out. I tried the handle and the door was unlocked so I just let myself in. I rounded the corner that lead to the bedroom and found Dimitri in bed with Tasha! NO!… no oh please no this can't be happening! He loves me, no. I ran out of there with tears streaming down my face.
I ran to the only person who cared enough that wouldn't use me when I'm drunk I ran to Mason. I knocked on the door, it sounded so light yet so loud. A sleepy Mason opened the door. "Rose.. What are you doing here?" He asked then he actually saw me and his eyes were filled with anger and his jaw was clenched. "Rose what the hell happened?" He guided me in and I told him everything. Sitting there in his arms I felt safe and like nothing could hurt me, but I knew something rather someone already had.
"Rose you know where the strigoi are?" I simply nodded. I could tell what he was thinking and that look on his face said he could take on anything. " no Mase we can't go please." he looked determined and I gave in. " ok I'll go but we can only bring a few like Eddie, and Christian" he looked stunned " Why Christian?" was all he said. "because Christians parents were turned strigoi . Don't you think he would want payback? I know I would." he smiled " ok firefly can come if Mia can come." I don't really like Mia but I'm already in so I guess. "fine puddle can come, and its Sparky not firefly" by this I was laughing. It was at this time I also forgot what I had just walked in on. " alright so when are we leaving?" I could tell he was smiling without even looking at him. " hmmm… as soon as possible I guess" I turned and looked at him and yes I was right he's smiling. It looks good on him, a little to good. " well then lets leave right now." we started to leave when something came over me. " Wait Mase I have to make sure Sparky aint with Lissa and I have to go change." "ok I'll keep you safe as you visit her." he waited outside my room while I changed, I called out "thanks Mase for everything" he's so nice I don't deserve him. And with that I slipped into Lissa's mind. Sparky was leaving her room he just reached the door now was our chance.
"ok its good to go" I smiled up at him. As we left to find everyone. First was Eddie since he was just next door. Then we went and got Mia who with our luck was just walking by us. She was the easiest to convince so far. She was so angry for what happened to her mom that she immediately said yes. Next was Pyro and since I've slipped into Lissa's head so much I knew where his room was. I knocked on the door. After the fifth knock he answered. It took us a few minutes to convince him but he finally decided to tag along. Mia used compulsion on the guard into letting us out. We walked to the train station which wasn't as far as the others might think.
(I'm going to skip this part and go to Dimka's point of view)
Dimitri's pov
I walked to my room after my once around this place. I turned the key to see that it was unlocked. "hello Dimka" said a voice from inside. I turned the light on to that it was Tasha " Tasha what are you doing here? and get out of my room!" I was looking at her and she was just wearing one of my t-shirts which was a little long on her. I was going to burn it later. " Awe what Dimka you don't want me?" Suddenly I wanted her more than anything. I was no longer in control of what I was doing. I was over her when I heard a muffled cry from the hallway and suddenly I knew what we were doing was wrong. I was in control, and I didn't want Tasha I didn't love her I love Rose. " You used compulsion on me" my voice was so cold it scared even me. I looked over at Tasha and she was frightened. "Tasha get out of my room" when she didn't move I started getting angry. " Now Tasha! I mean it, I don't know what you were thinking but I want you out." Finally she left and shut my door. I lied down and cried. I knew who had seen me and I knew it broke my Rose's heart. I have to go see here to make sure she's ok.
I made my way to her room and knocked on the door quietly . " Rose I know your probably mad at me but please let me explain" no answer and the door was locked . I guess I'll try again in the morning. I slowly walked back to my room feeling my heart brake into pieces. I went to my bed straight away crying and feeling completely empty. I had a strange dream that Rose was leaving all she kept saying was "goodbye Comrade I'll always love you" I woke up with a cold sweat, and someone was knocking on my door. I opened it up to reveal Emil "umm. Damn guardian Belikov you look like crap" " I know Emil now what's your point?" I eyed him curiously. "well five of our students have gone missing." He paused and looked up at me. " including a miss Rosemarie Hathaway" he was watching me to see my reaction. All I thought was what no my Rose is gone. She can't be gone. As quickly as I could I walked to Roses room to see it was unlocked. I went in and saw a note in the middle of the bed. I picked it up and read it, it said
To anyone who finds this,
I Rose Hathaway have left with some of my friends. We are going after the strigoi in Spokane, I know it's a stupid decision but what can I say I got talked into it. I know we'll probably not come back from this but I'll do my best to get Christian and Mia back. I promise, and guardian Belikov make sure Lissa doesn't do anything stupid. Now that I'm probably going to die soon its your job to protect her. If you don't do it I'll come back and kill you myself is that clear? It better be well bye and send Liss my love.
The one and only Rose Hathaway.
I took this to the one of the people who might be more worried about her than I was her mother. I knocked on the door and she opened it. She looks so much like Rose it almost made my heart stop. "what do you want guardian Belikov?" when she said that I immediately gave her the note. The look on her face was one of torture and grievance. Though she quickly put up her guardian mask I still saw it. And we set off doing things and getting set up to find the girl I love.
First stop was princess Dragomir's. I was hoping she would check into Lissa's head to make sure we weren't coming. Lets just pray that's what she does. We kept asking Lissa if she knew where exactly in Spokane Rose was. She was crying and we could tell she didn't know but she was worried. " guardian Belikov will you bring my sister back. Ple-e-a?" She couldn't continue her words since she was sobbing so hard. " of course princess I'll do everything in my power to bring her back." she looked at me and could tell that I meant business. We got in a car and started driving we knew where the tunnel is but where would they hide captives? What if my Rose was de- I cut my self off and thought sternly she is not dead Rose is to good to be dead. Alberta looked at me while she was driving and asked " Hey are you alright? I know you lover her and we are going to get her back" I looked back at the others and they had an expression that mimicked Alberta's. " you all know?" that was that only thing I could think to ask. And to my surprise they nodded. " why didn't you guys arrest me or worse isn't it illegal?" Celeste looked at me and said " we are keeping it a secret until she is eighteen because we know you wont do anything with her." they all looked like they agreed . It was silent until a voice came over the radio in the car that connected us to the other vehicles. " WHAT THE HECK BELIKOV YOU AND MY DAUGHTER! SO HELP ME WHEN THIS IS OVER I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING. AND IF U DID ANYTHING WITH MY DAUGHTER I WILL KILL YOU!" oh shit I forgot they could here what we were saying.
"umm…. Sure guardian Hathaway I'll tell you everything, and no I haven't done anything with Rose. I love her too much to have her throw away her future with me" my voice sounded dull like I had lost all hope. The car came to a stop and I noticed we would have to go down from here. I walked over to see that the manhole cover had already been moved and it was just enough room for a teenager to get down. I moved it over a bit more and slid my way through. Once I hit the bottom I yelled up " wait for my signal then you guys can come down" I started walking away. Away from the light and into continual darkness. I heard foot steps from behind me and I turned around to hear an ice cold voice that said " you wont find you little friend here guardian Belikov. Isaiah and Elaine took them to our hideout" I quickly pinned him and cut him across the face with my stake. "where are they?" No answer I cut him again. "little white house blue trim west sycamore street" I cut him again and raised my stake to plunge it through his heart. "you'll never find her. She'll be long dead" those words filled me with rage and I plunged m y stake through his heart and said " that's what you think" I stood up and ran back the way I came.
I climbed up and faced my team. Told them where we were going and jumped in the van. Following my lead they all got in the vehicles and drove off. We reached the destination and I ran to the door. The sight I saw when I opened the door was not what I expected. Two strigoi decapitated and Rose balling next to the lifeless body of her friend Mason. I put my hand on her shoulder and she shrank away from me. Janine came over and said " Rose honey we have to get you out of here" that Rose looked up from. The look on her face was enough to make my heart shatter." I have to protect him" I had to be strong for her "you have Rose. You have" and with that she let me pick her up and carry her away from this place. " a voice from behind us said " she couldn't have done this that sword hasn't been sharpened in years" she choked on a sob. " Belikov get her out of hear" Janine said. She looked worried and angry at the same time and I knew where the worry was directed to and I know where the anger was directed to but all that mattered right now. Is Rose.
