A/N: Hi People!!!!This is one story that I actually wrote for more than a few pages and haven't given up on!!!!! (Who knows how many have been discarded, not me that's for sure!!!!) This so happens to be the first story to be posted as well! All comments are welcome bad or good just say why ok!

Well anyway I based my story after Blood Promise so if you haven't read the books you just might be a bit confused. Or if you have been reading them and haven't gotten this far, I might have some spoilers!!!! (Still not sure though, some info like a certain event happening to Dimitri is included)

P.S. everything in italics are thoughts, just thought you'll like to know.

Chapter 1

Come out; come out where ever you are!

Rose POV

Breathe. Calm down.

"Rose, I know you're here," said a voice, his voice. "This world isn't big enough for the both of us, and you know it's true."

Yeah, the way we are now makes it like that… but it wasn't always like this. The last thought came suddenly and unexpectedly. At that moment before Rose could stop them, the memories of the past came trampling over her. They began to be fixed into her mind; she remembered each and every one perfectly. The more she saw, the less she had the will to resist them. The memories left just as quickly as they appeared. But they were of the time when she came back to the academy, or that they finally found them and carried them back.

She had protected Lisa in every way she could think of, but them they came. The battle began many did not survive in one way or another, and others were captured. As a guardian in training, she helped in the rescue of them, but still not every one made it.

On their way out at the every last second, a strigoi came out of nowhere and attacked Dimitri. Time was running out, they were forced to return to the academy. Dimitri was left behind; there was no hope.

Stop! Don't think about that right now. THIS is not Dimitri …my Dimitri, anymore.

"Rosa, come out. I will do it quick and painless if you do come out now," his voice tried to persuaded her.

Somehow it is still him, but …its not. She sighed inwardly. How could he even call me by that old nickname.

"Rosa, please just come out and save me the time. Please, just come out."

He paused as if she was considering the thought of just surrendering to him, to death. As if.

He seemed to wait still maybe not for surrender, but perhaps for her to at least respond.

"Rosa," he said after what seemed of hours, but really just minutes of silence. "Of all the places to choose your death, you pick an abandon warehouse in the middle of nowhere. Why? You should have picked a more pleasant part, not this place. It reeks of who knows what."

Mmmm …perhaps that is one reason why it is so grand of a place, not a way to use scent, at all.

A slow sigh escaped his lips, "Rosa, why are you being so difficult? Perhaps you wish for a chance to fight? Is that it? Well I will grant you it Rosa. Then you would not feel that you have lost your pride or dignity, or what ever you call it. How is that?"

The strigoi Dimitri waited, but nothing came. Not a single sound.

"Fine, would you rather talk? I promise I won't attack yet if we talk, Rosa. I am willing to have a peaceful conversation with you, and once we have finished then I will finish this once and for all. Quick and painless, my love, as I have promise you before."

Mmm …perhaps a small chat won't be so bad.

She quickly went to a nearby air vent before she could convince herself otherwise, and whispered, "Maybe you have predicted your own death and have described it to me." Before she even finished, her words were already echoing around the whole warehouse.

"Smart," he said with a chuckle, "very smart indeed Rosa, but that may lead me to you. Have you not thought of that? Perhaps you are not as clever as you thought."

As he gave his comments to her cleverness, Rose had actually thought of that little problem and had found a solution to it before he was even done, as well as acting upon the answer. She walked quickly, but as quietly as ever to another vent. "How can you be so sure?" said her projected voice as it came once more, but in different times and different locations as before.

He smiled at her little game, a game he was sure to win. "Rosa, why don't you want to come out to play with me?"

"We are playing," she said as it was her turn to smile that little smile of hers. "The game is just called hide and seek." And to taunt him further, she said, "I see you, but do you see me?"

.o.O.o.

A/N: Do you like it? Well just tell me why and I might fix it if it's something you don't like or continue adding if you do enjoy that!!!! I know it's kind of short but hey it's just to see if you people like it. So if you do respond then I know at least someone is waiting for more. Thank you!!! XD
