Ok, this is my first fanfic, I hope I do justice to Dimtri.
But remember, I have to get evil with it later, so don't get too upset.

This is the end of Shadow Kiss and Blood Promise from Dimitri's POV.

Chapter 1:

(Laying it on the table)


Here I am, walking with the most amazing woman I had ever met, even in the midst of all the chaos, I was beyond happy. All the damage around couldn't snap me out of this daze. I was still thinking about last night, about the cabin instead of the rescue mission we were going to do in a few hours.

I'm beyond relieved that I had given in to my feelings, my wants. My need.

But I haven't really spoke to Rose since last night, we were too overwhelmed with the attack that occurred. I need to talk to her, get it all out.

We walked past the cabin, this could be my chance.

"Rose, about what happened--"

She interrupted with a groan, "I knew it. I knew this was going to happen."

Puzzled, I looked at her. "That what was going to happen?"

Here I am, planning on baring my soul, and she pulls a "classic Rose." Does she not realize what I'm doing here? I've given up on fighting it. I'm doing the right thing, even if it isn't seen that way in everyone else's eyes.

"This. The part where you give me the huge lecture about how what we did was wrong and how we shouldn't have done it and how it's never going to happen again." she said shaking.

I tried my hardest to keep the same straight face, she is so cute when she gets riled up. But I guess I couldn't blame her, she is always saying I'm giving her "zen lessons" and how she hates them.

Or does she really think I'm going to tell her that is was all a mistake. Have I really acted this stupid before for Rose to expect that out of me? All I really wanted to do was to talk to her, spend some time together, that was my only motive to this.

What have I done? Have a really messed this up before I really had it?

My turn to be startled. I asked, "Why would you think that?"

She returned with, "Because that's how you are. You always want to do the right thing. And when you do the wrong thing, you then have to fix it and do the right thing. And I know you're going to say that what we did shouldn't have happened and that you wish--"

Wished you would shut up and see what is happening here.

I pulled her to me, behind a tree and let our lips touch.

Questioning over.

Our lips finally separated from each other after a few moments, but I still didn't want to release the angel I had in my arms. I wanted to stay this way a little longer.

I leaned in and whispered, "I don't think what we did was wrong, I'm glad we did it. If we could go back in time, I'd do it again."

I felt the heat from her rise as she looked at me questioning. "Really? What made you change your mind?"

Rose really is adorable with that look in her eyes.

"Because you're hard to resist. And…do you remember what Rhonda said?"

"Something about how you're going to lose something…"

"You will lose what you value most, so treasure it while you can." I cited.

With wide eyes, Rose questioned me again. "Wait. You think I'm going to die? That's why you slept with me?"

"No, no, of course not. I did what I did because…believe me, it wasn't because of that. Regardless of the specifics--or if it's even true--she was right about how easily things can change. We try to do what's right, or rather, what others say is right. But sometimes, when that goes against who we are…we have to choose. Even before the Strigoi attack, as I watched all the problems you were struggling with, I realized how much you meant to me. It changes everything. I was worried about you--so, so worried. You have no idea. And it became useless to try to act like I could ever put any Moroi life over yours. It's not going to happen, no matter how wrong others say it is. And so I decided that's something I have to deal with. Once I made that decision…there was nothing to hold us back."

I paused, maybe that was too much to say, I'm not sure how she feels. But damn, I don't want this to be wrong, it can't be, Rose is my angel. She has saved me from my darkness, brought me the happiness I knew was missing in my life. She broke my walls and brought me love.

I moved her hair out of her face, I wanted to be able to stare in to this beautiful creature's eyes, before I continued.

"Well, to hold me back. I'm speaking for myself. I don't mean to act like I know exactly why you did it."

"I did it because I love you." she simply said.

I almost could die of laughter. "You could sum up in one sentence what it takes me a whole speech to get out."

"Because it's that simple. I love you, and I don't want to keep pretending like I don't." she smiled.

"I don't either. I don't want any more lies." I said, grabbing her hand.

We discussed how we were going to work out being together. Both of us being the princess' guardians wasn't really an option, but I'm sure I can get assigned to the court, where Rose will be guarding Lissa. We could make this work. I felt like I was in heaven, if there is such a place.

We walked around the forest for a while, not really wanting to leave, but we knew we had to, we had a job to do.

The sooner we get this over with, the sooner I can see my Rose again.


So what do you think? I know, this is kinda blah, but I have to start somewhere.

I can't promise I will UD everyday, but I will try to as often as possible.
