This is a different ending to Shadow Kiss. Dimitri is dead, not a strigoi and Rose cant cope.


Is life worth living?

I'm not sure anymore. I'm not sure of anything.

I've always thought of myself as strong. Now? Now, I think of myself as weak.

My depression consumes me, I can't think straight anymore.

My life ended, as soon as Dimitri`s did- I'm crushed.

The love of my life, my soul mate, my Russian god- is gone.

I no longer talk, or bother to get out of bed in the morning. I just can't face it.

I'm failing everyone. My mother, Lissa, Adrian- Dimitri would be so disappointed.

I`m like a robot. Rose Hathaway is gone, as is her lover. I'm less than an empty shell, nothing, like the girl I used to be.

So I ask myself again.

Is life worth living?

I don't think it is. There s nothing left for me, not anymore.

I make my decision, and without a second thought I slash the razor across my wrist. I don't feel the pain, of the blade slicing my skin-I am numb. I watch as I bleed. Scarlett drips from my wrist and forms a puddle on the floor. Before long black dots dance across my vision, and I know my life is ending. I don't care anymore. If anything, I am comforted, knowing that soon I will see my love.

My body is heavy, but my head feels strangely light and as I shut my eyes, I feel peaceful, and whole.

Everything is blinding whiteness, and I feel a pull towards it. I start walking and then I`m through.

The world rights itself, and then I`m in the arms of Dimitri.

'Roza' he sighs.

I return his embrace and find myself smiling.

I`m free.
