~ So. This fanfic carries on from like Chapter 21-ish of Blood Promise. The part where Dimitri is like -Nomnom on Rose and she's all like high from his bite. And then of course he brings up the idea of her turning Strigoi to be with him forever and she's so delusional she seriously contemplates it. That part. :] + Also, I own none of the characters or the first paragraph that's in italic. Richelle Mead does, of course. Just makin' it clear..

"No," I whimpered. "I.. I'm scared."

That dangerous look softened, and while he didn't exactly look like the Dimitri from before, there was something a little less Strigoi about him. "Rose, do you think I'd do anything that would hurt you?" Somewhere, hadn't there been a discussion about how my options were to turn or die? The latter seemed like it might hurt, but I didn't mention that right now.

"The bite.. the turning would hurt..."

"I told you: It'll be just like what we've already done. You'll enjoy it. It won't hurt, I swear it."

I thought about what Dimitri had said. We'd have forever to be together; isn't that all I'd wanted just over a month ago? And now that I had the opportunity, I wasn't so sure anymore. I wanted this so badly; but it went against everything I'd ever been taught. Strigoi were always the enemy, they were unnatural and, well, dead.

But he had made it seem like there was a whole other side to being Strigoi, and how he'd described it was definitely appealing. Yet if I was 'awakened', I'd never be able to see Lissa again. Or Christian. Or Adrian. I wasn't too bothered by the last one, but still. I'd never have the chance to become her guardian, to live out the life we'd planned together after we graduated.

I weighed out the pros and cons in my mind one more time, my mind suddenly clearer than it had been, and his offer was far too tempting. I'd come all the way to Russia for this guy, and I loved him. To me, the choice was obvious, even if it meant leaving behind my life in the states. I looked up at him, feeling suddenly courageous.

"Do it - turn me into a Strigoi."

He smiled at me, speaking with the hint of a Russian accent that I loved so much. "I knew you'd make the right choice, Roza."

I smiled, still intoxicated from the last bite. I was craving for more. I shuddered slightly as his fangs traced my neck, then bit in. The pain lasted no more than a second, and then I was overwhelmed by the high of his bite. This bite seemed to be better than all the others. It was far more intense. I lost myself in the rush.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, I remembered Lissa, and how much of a bad decision this was, realising it was mainly decided by my longing for another bite. I tried to fight back, but he was too strong, and I was far too weak, still intoxicated by his bite. I felt helpless, which was definitely out of character for me, and I felt the tears coming as I blacked out from blood loss, already regretting this decision.

So, first chapter. Short I guess. Not much I could write about really. xD

Please review. I'd love to know how I could improve so.. .
