Chapter 1

Last Chance

I knew he was feeling bad, of course I knew! I'm not that unconsidered,being restored to a dhampir after what he did, was definitely not easy. But how couldn't he realize that I was madly in love with him, that I was the one who travelled to Russia to find him. I could risk my life thousands of time for his life again; I could definitely do everything to see that beautiful shiny smile just for one time.

'Love fades; mine has'those words were destroying me, and there was nothing I could do to make him comeback to me.

'Rose, Are you ok?' Lissa asked me through the bond. I knew that everyone I love were worried about me, since I haven't left my room for almost one week. I was just spending time on bed, eating junk food and watching bad TV. Also spending my time crying a lot, and that was something I never would let people see. Rose Hathaway doesn't cry in front of people, I always forced myself to be strong, and right now it was time for me to show my strength.I took my cell phone and called Lissa to let her know I was ok, that I just needed more time to be on my own, to clear my mind.

She picked up the call at the second tone.

'Finally' she said with a relief voice.

'I was so worried about you Rose; I haven't seen you this week. Are you ok?' She asked.

'Hi Liss, yes I'm fine; I think I just need more time on my own' I said.

'Oh Rose! I'm so, so sorry, give him more time, he's doing better this week. He actually asked me about you' she said talking about Dimitri.

'Really, what did he say?' I felt a bit nervous but a new hope was placed on my heart, maybe he was sorry about what he said to me at church.

'He told me what he said to you, I'm so sorry about that by the way; he knows you're hurt Rose, since you haven't gone to the guardian's building to ask Milkhail if you could see him' Lissa said.

'Liss, he really hurt my feeling with those stupid words you know' I said remembering the pain in my heart when I heard those words coming out from his mouth.

'I'm sure he'll notice his mistake Rose. I'll try to talk to him again about you. Maybe he'll agree to see you this time' she said trying to calm me down.

'Thank you Liss, but I just don't want to see him now, he's doing better without me' I said.

'Oh, Rose, I'm so, so sorry…you know, you can count on me, right?' she said.

'I know Liss; I'll see you soon'

'I love you Rose, you are my sister' she said with love on her voice.

'I know Liss; I love you too' I said and cut off the call.

I know that I wasn't speaking the truth; I was not going to see her soon, or later. I was clear about what I had to do. I took the small baggage that I set last night and took a last look to my dorm, yes I was broken, and I wanted the pain to go away. This place and the court were not doing my heart heal easy, since I knew he was in here too. I left the room with tears on my eyes and a pain in my heart. Besides my friends I had nothing, and leaving Lissa when I promised to protect her with my life was doing my heart hurt even more.

When I went outside the building, I stared at the guardians' building. I knew he was there. One more time, I told to myself, one more time to see the man I love, to stare at his beautiful chocolate eyes again.

I made my way to the guards' building and hide my baggage into a bush; I went into the building and looked there for Mikhail to asking him to help me to find Dimitri.

When I found him in the guardians' room, he was speaking to three other guardians. I shook my hand toward him, and he knew that I wanted to talk to him, so he came to meet me.

'Rose, what are you doing here?' asked Mikhail with a sad look on his face. Mikhail knew about my relationship with Dimitri, so probably he figured out I was here to see him.

'I want to see him, where is he?' I asked.

'Rose, I'm sorry, but you know he doesn't want to see you; he asked me to let him know when you are around so he could leave. He said in a soft voice.

'I know, I know' I said. 'I won't talk to him I swear; I just want to see him. I'll hide, I promise. I told him.

'Fine, but you have to stop doing this to yourself' He said while placing his hand on my shoulder.

'What would you do, if you were me?' I asked, but I already knew the answer. I knew that if Sonya were in here, in the same situation that Dimitri was; he wouldn't stop until he could talk to her.

His face turned sad. He knew I knew the answer to that question. Then he spoke to the other guardians there. 'Guardian Hathaway is going in, let her' he demanded.

The other three guardians there nodded and let me go into the cafeteria.

There he was, the love of my life. He was dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans, his hair was tied in a ponytail and he was sitting on a chair with his eyes staring down at the empty table. As soon as I entered the room he raised his head and stared at me. We always had had the ability to note each other presence in a place. When he saw me, Dimitri closed his eyes and all the pain I knew he was feeling was now visible on his face expression.

'What are you doing here Rose?' he asked me softly.

I said nothing and just stared at him with tears coming to my eyes, I kind of hope that he would tell me that he sorry and that he loved me as I love him. But no, he didn't say a word of those I wanted to hear.

'Rose, please… just leave me alone, I told you, my love for you had fade and I don't want to hurt you anymore, so please leave' he said.

Ouch, that pain in my heart became worst,but I just wanted to see him just one more time.

'Rose…' he said but I cut him off.

'I will always love you'. I said and then I turned back and I left the cafeteria. When I was out I went to meet Mikhail and gave him a quick hug to thank him for his help. I left the building then. When I was outside I took the baggage and started to walk to the court's walls. I definitely didn't want to be here anymore.

That was the last time for me to see his beautiful face again. And it hurts, it hurts like hell. I thought to myself.
