What if Dimitri wasn't a Strigoi… Yet. Would Rose be able to save him, or would he just turn? I don't own any characters or the books for that matter. They all belong to the wonderful and brilliant Richelle Mead! Check out my fan site .com if you have any free time.

RPOV:

It took all my willpower not to go running into Lissa's arms, and graduate from the academy. But I had to do this, no matter what it took. I had to kill him, to save him from himself. But I didn't even know if I could bring myself to kill him.

I felt as if my world was falling apart, I wanted to cry but I just couldn't. I had to stay strong… For me and for him.

It was starting to get dark and I have been walking and running for hours. I saw the highway ahead of me, and I was so glad! About 15 mins later I got myself a ride to the bank in Missoula.

The car ride was long and dreadful; I was stuck in a car with 3 hormone-filled guys which looked to be around 22. They were all making crappy jokes and trying to "seduce" me. But I couldn't feel a thing. Half of my heart was broken when Dimitri was turned Strigoi, and the other half was broken when I left Lissa.

Finally we arrived the bank, it was minutes before closing time and you could see how pissed off everyone was seeing me go through that door. But that didn't stop me, nope… I just held my head high, put on my Rose Hathaway bravado and talked to the bank manager about my, I mean Adrian's account.

"Hello, my name is Rose Hathaway and I'm here to confirm an account set up by Adrian Ivashkov." "Oh yes, Mrs. Ivashkov were glad that you're here." I did a double take as I heard me being called Mrs. Ivashkov as in Adrian's wife.

Then it all fit, it made more sense to have a joint account with a "wife" than a teenage 18 year old girl. Soon, all the paperwork was filled out and I got the ATM card.

But before I left I heard the manager muttering about how much moneys in the account and curiosity got the best of me. "May I please know how much money is in the joint account with my *cough* husband *cough*?"

"I'm sorry but I can't tell you Mrs. Ivashkov, we are under strict orders from your husband not to tell you the amount of money in the account." I put on my best glare, and by the looks of it… I broke him don and he finally cracked.

"There is a total of 3,740,000 dollars in the joint account and we were told if you were ever running low we would transfer money from your husband's other accounts. " "Holy crap! That freakin…" I got a hold of myself, said my thank you's and left before I could scare the manager even more.

Once I was out of the bank I got that nauseating feeling in my stomach and that meant there was Strigoi around.

I was right; as soon as I turned the corner I saw them. They were talking. I could barely hear them but I made out a couple of words. Then I made out the one word that made me freeze. It was "Dimitri." After, I just couldn't control myself. I just lunged out and attacked.

There was a girl, she was just a couple of inches taller than me and I could tell that she was just awakened because she didn't put up much of a fight.

The other one on the other hand was harder to take down. He was taller than me, almost as tall as Dim- Dimitri. He kept trying to pin me down, but thanks to my kick ass mentor. I got out of his grip and staked him.

I had no clue where to search for him, but I decided to go to Spokane and start there. At the house where Mason was killed.

There was a long road ahead of me, but I just kept walking and walking… To kill the man that I love the most.
