Enjoy(:
(Mason P.O.V)
I tried to move on from this world, but there's just something holding me back. Like some sort of unfinished business I have left to do before I can go...
It feels great being able to protect the ones I love. Popping in and out of their dreams. Telling them who they can trust and who they should watch out for. Now that I told my best friend Eddie about Mia Rinaldi. Let's hope he can tell the others without Mia or Robert Doru and his minions catching us before we catch them.
I recently found that our suppose to friend Mia is working with our long time enemy Robert to...I don't really know what they're planning to do. Well not yet anyways. I'm determined find out.
What I don't understand is why Robert Doru after so many years of hiding from the world decided to come out all of a sudden and hire with a bunch of Moroi and dhampirs? I'm pretty sure I missed a lot when I was away. Well I'm back now and ready to keep my friends safe from any harm that comes to them.
It's a good thing I'm a ghost who can go wherever and whenever I want and not get seen. But, my friends aren't ghosts. You can see and hear them perfectly. That's why I do all the spying around court. It kind of makes me sad though that I walk these halls every day and not one single person even notices me.
That's not really true. I mean there's one person who can see and hear me that I know of. My other best friend's little daughter Rosalie. She's Shadow Kissed meaning that she is mentally connected to her best friend James Szelsky who is spirit user. Usually the mental attachment is referred to as a "bond."
"Mason," Rosalie's sleepy voice broke through my thoughts. "Mason, what's going to happen?"
Turning toward her, I focused my attention on the little girl laying next to me. "I have no clue what's going to happen, kiddo."
"You're going to be there when I have to tell the judge my story, right?"
I smiled down at her. "Of course I'll be there! I promise. I'll holding your hand the whole time."
Hearing me say that made her feel a whole lot better about going to the trial. I still don't get why there has to be a trial when they know who the kidnapper is and he's in jail right now.
Robert Doru kidnapped Rose's and her husband Dimitri's little daughter Rosalie and James to get back at Rose for killing his older half brother Victor Dashkov. I learned that piece of information from over hearing Rose and Dimitri talking.
Yes, I felt bad for ease dropping, but I wouldn't know anything that happened from the day I died to now. As I walk the world as a ghost, I start to think what my life could of been if I haven't gone after the Strigoi in Spokane, Washington with Eddie and Mia when we were at a ski resort.
I would have graduated with my best friends and classmates. I would be guarding someone or a family. I would have been in the many memories my friends had over the years and more to come.
My life would have been totally different if I wasn't so determined on killing Strigio. I know I was training to defend the Moroi from Strigio, but I honestly wasn't thinking when I ran away to hunt them down.
I never stopped to think about them killing me or Eddie or Mia. It suppose to be us killing them. My plan totally backed fired on me. My plan got me killed. My plan made Eddie a personal blood bank. My plan made Rose and our friend Christian come after me, Eddie and Mia.
I didn't realize I had so many regrets about that day. Mostly because I tried to shove all those memoires to the far side of my brain and forget about them. Just like I shoved all the warning signs that was going off in my head when I was planning on going to Spokane.
Sighing, I looked down at a now sleeping Rosalie who has a smile on her cute little face. I'm glad someone is happy and can move on with her life without regrets. Here I am laying down in bed, thinking about all the times I regret doing this or that when a group of our enemies people are planning to whatever together!
I mean the past is the past. No one can change that. But, they can change what's going to happen in the future. Just like I can change what Mia and Robert are planning. Maybe when everyone is awake I can spy on Mia and Robert.
Hopefully to get information from them to tell my friends. I recently figured out I can talk to my friends through their dreams. It's awesome since I really miss all of them. I wonder if I can talk to Rose.
How did I get into Eddie's dream? I'm pretty sure I just thought about him and then poof! I was in his dream. So, if I just think about Rose then I'll pop up in her dreams. If she's asleep that is.
I really hope she's asleep. I really need to talk to her. Man, I'm using the word really a lot. Really this, really that. Mason, focus! Shaking my head, I closed my eyes and focused on Rose.
After counting to ten, I opened my eyes to the one place I never wanted to see again. Standing off to the side in a corner, no one noticed me because they were too busy fighting each other.
"Rose!" I yelled, trying to run after her, but my feet were glued to the floor. "Rose, run!"
Seeing her try to fight two Strigoi as our friends ran out of the dark house and into the safety of sunlight. Me being the love struck person I am ran back into the house to safe the girl I'm still madly in love with.
Closing my eyes, I couldn't bare to see the rest. I already know what's going happen before it happens. I run back inside the house to save Rose, but instead I get killed by one of the Strigoi.
Hearing Rose's loud scream, I undercover my eyes to see I was back in Rosalie's bedroom. Waking up at the loud noise, Rosalie turned to face me before running out of her room.
Jumping off the bed, I ran pass her toward Rose's and Dimitri's bedroom. Dimitri was cradling Rose in his arms as she sobbed into his chest. I stood at the foot of the bed, wishing I could comfort Rose.
"Mommy are you okay?" Rosalie asked, climbing up beside her parents. "Daddy, is mommy going to be okay?"
Before Dimitri had time to answer, little Tyler came running in. Tears filled his little, blue eyes. With the help of his older sister, Tyler climbed on the bed.
"I heard screaming," he sobbed, his little body shaking.
"Rosalie. Tyler. Why don't you go your stuff and you can sleep your mother and I," Dimitri said at last, looking his scared little kids.
Hand in hand, both Rosalie and Tyler left the room. Rose hasn't a single word the entire time. Dimitri leaned down to whisper something in her ear. I knew then that they probably wanted to talk about what happened before the kids came back.
Walking out of the room with my hands in pockets, I went to see if the kids are alright. Gathering their blankets and stuff animals, Rosalie and Tyler headed back to their parents' room.
(Rose P.O.V)
As I cry into Dimitri's chest, my mind went back to the horrible nightmare. A nightmare that was once a reality. Now that day will forever haunt my sleep. Only this time no one made it out.
Nightmare:
Not one of my friends made it to the front door. To the safety of sunlight. As the two Strigio closed the door, darkness filled the entire house. Putting myself in front of the others, I tried to figure a way out of here.
But, there was none.
"Rose, just give up," Mia's annoying voice came from somewhere behind me. "You can't win! No matter what you do! You. Will. Never. Win."
This made the male Strigio laugh. Daring to a cast a look back at Mia saying "what are you doing? Shut up!" Mia replied with a smile and a shrug of her shoulders. Only making me even more confused. I looked from the others then back at Mia.
"Didn't you know little girl?" the male Strigio asked, still laughing. "Of course, you don't! Why else would you be so surprise that you've caught escaping?"
I could feel my blood boil as the news settled in. That back-stabbing bitch! No wonder she was smiling. I'm going to kill her! Before I could turn around and choke the life out of her, Mason was already yelling at her.
"How could you, Mia?!" he yelled, waving his arms up and down. "We trusted you!"
"You can't always trust people, Mase," Mia answered in a flirting voice. "A pretty boy like you should be more careful."
End of Nightmare:
I screamed in frustration as the memories filled my never ending throbbing head. I'm going to get my hands on her if that's the last thing I do. Then realization hit like that.
A person who would soon be mine and Dimitri's son or daughter and Rosalie's and Tyler's baby sibling is growing inside of me. Is counting on me to keep him or her safe. Is a constant remember that I have to be more careful with my actions.
"Roza," Dimitri's Russian accent filled the air around us. "Please, look at me."
I wiped my eyes with the back of my hands before I looked up at him. Cupping my face in his strong hands, Dimitri kissed my forehead.
"Do you want to tell me what got you so scared?" I didn't really want to explain what I experienced, but the feeling in my gut is killing me.
Hearing voices of our little children coming closer to our room, I didn't want them to hear any of this. Dimitri followed my gaze and nodded his head in agreement.
"Mommy!" Tyler called, running toward the bed with his little arms full of blankets and stuff animals. "Daddy said I sleep with you."
"Yes, you are," I smiled sadly.
"Me too!" Rosalie chimed in, coming up behind her brother.
"Kids, your mommy and I have to talk, okay?" Dimitri told them. "I'll turn on a movie, but you have to stay in bed, alright?"
Nodding their little heads, Rosalie and Tyler both climbed on the bed and laid down between Dimitri and me. After tucking the kids in bed, Dimitri and I went to our baby's nursery.
Plain, white walls surrounded most of the room. A wooden rocking chair sat in the far corner by the window. A white changing table stood a few feet away from the closet. Yes, I know it's all plain and boring. But, it's kind of hard to decorate a room when you don't know if your baby is a girl or a boy. It's a good thing I have both boy and girl stuff, so I'm completely prepared for either.
"Roza," Dimitri said, closing the door the nursery. "The floor is all yours."
Taking a deep breathe, I started from the very beginning.
Whatcha think of the first chapter? Please, review!
