He followed me into the woods I always felt as if we were magnets being drawn together. I loved him more than words could ever express. He was my other half my soulmate. I had found a way to save him and I had to try. Call it selfish, but I needed him. Without him I felt as if I had no real purpose. I had gone after him, I thought I had saved his soul. But then I got that damned package, and now here we are walking through the woods. He doesnt know that I know he is here, or maybe he does. All I know is we are about to drive a stake through his chest, and hope this fairytale works.
As I enter the clearing I feel a sense of security knowing my parents and friends are here every step of the way to help bring back the man i love. But I am also uncertain as to why after all these months of straight forward letters and threats that he hasn't said a word. As if he has read my mind I hear that soft velvet voice with a coldness that shoots through my bones.
"Roza, did you think i wouldn't find you?"
He moved out into the clearing, and even with the pale white skin and and eyes tinged with a red ring he takes my breath away. I could feel Lissa's shock through the bond at seeing him this way. I had to remember they haven't seen him this way. This cold and careless person. I had to keep him distracted.
"I knew you were following me Dimitri."
He still had that impassive mask but I could still see a little of the shock and amusement that passed through his eyes. Though it was gone fast.
"I thought you would make this harder for me! Shouldn't you be protecting the Princess?"
Im surprised he hasn't noticed that they are here. I'm also surprised he is alone. I just had to keep him talking.
"Who's to say I'm not?"
He looks at me with that impassive mask again
"Well what does it matter now you left the safety of the wards my Roza. I told you I would know and I would be waiting for you"
I looked at him and tried to take in every feature, all the things I loved about him in case our plan didn't work. He stared back, I suppose trying to read me, but I had my guardian mask firmly in place. I took a few steps forward. I needed to get closer to him. I let my hand wander to the pocket I had the spirit infused ring in.
I had went to Oksana and told her my plan, we had thought long and hard how to make this as safe as possible, and I had remembered how when he had picked up my ring in Russia he had been almost normal again. She agreed it could help make this safer. I just needed to get it on him. I had to make it safe for what Lissa had to do.
The whole time I walked towards him he just stood there looking at me as if i were crazy or deranged.
"Roza what are you doing? I see you don't have a stake, I taught you better than that!"
I just kept getting closer. I knew that when I was close enough Christian would put a wall of fire around us. It would trap us in so I could slip the ring on his finger. Then my mother and I would hold him while Lissa put a spirit infused stake straight through his heart.
Now i know what your thinking, that this plan is crazy even a little unhinged. But we have to try. Finally I'm close enough and the fire goes up, I could see the shock as he is trying to find a way out. Not paying attention to me. I got the ring out and slammed it onto his finger before he could think of a way to stop me. I knew the instant it worked, his features softened and he had a look of pain and awe on his face. I yelled for my mom and the fire wall went down. He looked confused as my mom and I held his arms back leaving his chest unprotected as Lissa came charging at him with a stake.
The minute she got it in a white light lit up the clearing we were in. All the feelings of healing were coming through the bond like a title wave. And then everything was normal again. Dimitri had went limp the only thing holding him up was us. As I let loose on his arm he turned to look at me. All I could see was his skin back to a shade lighter then mine and his eyes. Oh those beautiful warm brown eyes, no longer tinged in red. He looked at me and flung himself in my lap and began crying. My strong Russian was crying.
"shhh...Dimitri it's ok! I got you back, and your going to be fine."
" Roza, how can you even look at me? Even want to be around me, after all i did to you?"
I could see the pain on his face, I knew i had to ease that pain.
"It's simple really, I love you and nothing else matters!"
He just brought a hand up to play with my hair while everyone around us, My mother and father, Lissa, Christian, Eddie, and Adrian looked at us in wonder. We had done it, we made a fairytale a reality. And i had the love of my life back.
