When I saw the blonde strigoi grab Dimitri I freaked out. I started to run back but someone grab me around my waist. I looked back and I saw Stan. "Rose, what are you doing? You can't go back in! You'll be killed. We have to go, the sun is almost down." He screamed at me.

I struggled but he wouldn't let me go, so I got in the right position and swung my leg back. I heard him grunt as I hit the spot where I knew it would hurt. When his grip loosened, I broke free and ran back inside. I saw Dimitri on the ground with the blonde strigoi looming over him. I got so angry but not enough. I knew LIssa had been using her magic, so I went into her head. I felt a lot of darkness there so I took it. When I got back to my head, I shuddered. Then all I saw was red.

I ran at the blonde strigoi with my stake raised. He turned around and grinned at me. Then he charged me, but I met him half way. I was going to kill him. I wasn't focusing, so I didn't see his fist coming at me until it was too late. His fist hit me right in my head. I felt like I was going to pass out, but I kept myself going, until I could kill this idiot. I felt nauseous, but I kept my head held high. We kept fighting for what felt like forever. Then I saw an opening and went for it. I drove my stake into his heart, and heard him scream. It was so filled with pain but I didn't care. All I cared about was he was dead. Then I felt the fight leave me.

I ran over to Dimitri, and saw that the blonde had already bit him. I looked at him closer and saw he was barely breathing. I looked up and saw Mason. He opened his mouth but I didn't think anything was going to come out so I was surprised when I heard him say, "Rose, Dimitri is dying, but you have the power to save him. Since Lissa brought you back, she made you a full moroi. Though you are still as strong you're a moroi. You can control all five elements, including spirit. So if you want to you can heal him. I warn you though; you might die, if you do try." He told me.

I looked at him and nodded, "I'll do anything to save him, Mase I love him. I just have a question, where are the others, I mean I would have thought that they would come in and try to save me, and Dimitri."

"They left. After you ran back in, Stan convinced them to leave you. He said you were better than dead. Your mom and Alberta wanted to come back but, he also pointed out that the sun was almost down. They said that they would come back when the sun came back up." He told me. Man he knows everything!

"Okay Mase I'm going to heal Dimitri, but both of us will be weak, so we'll have to stay here for the night." With that I walked over to Dimitri and I put my hands on his chest. I thought of all the good times we had. When I beat him in field experience. When he brought me and Lissa back to the academy. When he stood up for me against Kiorva, when she tried to make me leave. I felt all those memories leave me and go into him.

When I was done I saw that all his wounds where gone, but I felt like I was dying. He opened his eyes and murmured Roza. I sat up, and I smiled at him then I felt my eyes close, and I was surrounded by darkness. Before I went completely under I heard him scream, "Roza! No! Come on open your eyes!" He sounded like he was crying but I couldn't force my eyes open. Then I went completely under.

I felt myself being pulled back into the cave, and I heard a scream. Roza's scream. I knew she was going to do something irrational, but I really hoped someone would stop her. I saw the blonde strigoi and I felt him bite my neck before I felt nothing at all.

Then I felt hot then cold, then hot again. I didn't know what it was but it felt really weird. I opened my eyes and saw Rose. She looked really tired, and, well beat up. I murmured Roza, and then I saw her smile. Then she passed out. I screamed "Roza! No! Come on open your eyes!" She looked really pale, and she was barely breathing. "Please Roza you have to open your eyes." By then I was crying.

I stood up and looked around with tears running down my face. I felt weak, but I would be strong enough to carry her back to the academy. At least I had to be. I walked over to her, after searching the perimeter for anymore strigoi. I picked her up, but almost dropped her. This would be harder than I thought. I carried her outside and saw a stray stake on the ground, so I picked it up. I might need it. I started walking In the direction of the academy, but soon realized that if I was going to save Rose I would need to run. So I took off.

After a few minutes of running, I reached the outside of the academy. After I crossed the wards I started yelling for someone. Soon I saw Stan, so I ran over to him. "Stan! I need your help. Rose is going to die! Can you go and get the princess of Lord Ivashkov, so they can heal her? Please!" I told/screamed at him. He nodded and ran off to fetch them.

When they ran up, I saw Vasilisa's confused face. Then when she saw Rose, she rushed over to us.

"Dimitri what happened…." She asked. "Please tell me!" she screamed at me, while sobbing. She ran over to me and put her hands over Rose. She closed her eyes and opened them a few minutes late. "It's not working! Why isn't it working?" she sobbed, while frowning. Then Lord Ivashkov ran up and glared at me.

"Why didn't you protect her Belikov? You promised me you would! Now she's nearly dead. I can't believe I trusted you." He screamed at me.

"I tried to protect her! I couldn't because I was nearly dead! And why do you think that I wouldn't protect her!" I screamed at him.
