This is my new story: Love's battlefield. It's based off the song Battlefield by Jordin Sparks and I thought it was perfect for what Rose felt when she had to kill Dimitri. I own nothing.

Chapter 1: Why does it feel like this…

Why does love always feel like a battlefield? repeatedin my head over and again the whole time since the plane took off for Moscow. The lyric came from a song that was currently on repeat on my I-pod and I couldn't help the tears that came every time I heard it.

And it was all because of him.

It has been over two weeks since the Mana problem and two weeks since Dimitri and I made love. It may have been the most happiest memory I have right now, but even that was corrupted.

You see, the following events changed everything. Right after Dimitri and I consummated, a strigoi attack happened to us right on the spot. The whole school had a lockdown to keep everyone safe and it worked mostly. We lost many people during the actual fighting.

We thought it was for now, but I guess fate had other plans.

I feel so stupid. Maybe if I didn't act like a brat and plan a rescue mission, then maybe our guardian numbers wouldn't have gone down, and maybe, just maybe, Dimitri would be here with me instead of running around the world as a blood thirsty beast.

"It's my fault." I told myself. And it was. I should have just left it alone, like what everyone else had wanted at first. But, then Dimitri and I wouldn't feel right knowing that we let innocent lives suffer.

I looked out the window as we flew above the clouds that were as dark as the sky they floated against. I had to sniffle back tears.

The damn clouds were like Dimitri. One minute they are slightly perfect, yet imperfect color of lead and keep floating like usual, then when the sun disappears, so does the lead cloud, and is replaced with a dark black one.

Dimitri, I thought to myself. I love you. I cried out some silent tears and leaned my head against the glass of the window.

Why does it have to always hurt? Why do we always go through this? Why can't they just leave us alone?

I put my hand over my mouth and cried and sobbed.

My heart felt like it was going to explode in me, and not in the good lovey dovey way, the I rather feel nothing way.

When he lost his soul, he took mines with it. When he had fallen, I had too.

He hadn't asked for this, I haven't, nobody in the right mind would.

Why does this always happen to us?

I closed my eyes and cried myself to sleep. I need to stop hurting, I can't even be myself anymore because of this big mess.

Poor Rose. This is post BP. No spoilers, except maybe Sydney and that's it. Review.
