Author's Note: Hi, this is for the people who felt that the ending for Vampire Academy SUCKED. There could have been so much more action and plot twists and stuff. So I am here to give it to you, if you want it. Vampire Acedemy does not belong to me, if it did, I would not have TAYLOR SWIFT, in the movie cast as someone as lame as Mia.
VA ONE
The flames were closing in on Dimitri, growing tighter and tighter. I heard him scream, and could see the look of agony, even through the began to consume his coat, and smoke poured out from the blaze. Some instinct told me I needed to stop this... and yet, what did it matter? I'd come to kill him. Did it matter if someone else did it for me? (Spirit Bound. Chapter Fifteen. Page 286. Richelle Mead)
What Dimitri did next was something that no one expected. Christian's flames burned high and mighty, one of the few things that could kill a Strigoi and Dimitri had jumped right through it. Now no one ever said that flames meant instant death, as with the silver stake.
I had tried to kill him and even thought I went through his chest with a silver stake. I had been so sure he was dead then. When he was a guardian I had thought he was pretty badass, boy was I wrong. Even though I was scared out of my pants, Dimitri was just so cool as he braved the flames. He wasn't like me, he didn't hesitate.
I was frozen in my place while Dimitri quickly shook off the flame before they could do him any real damage. He then went ahead and knocked Christian out. Good move. Even with fire we were at a disadvantage.
Dimitri made a move towards me then, and I clasped my stake firmly. I already had the resolve to kill him, if I couldn't save him. He knew I was ready though, and turned at just the right moment to catch me completely off guard.
He was going for Lissa.
"No!" I screamed.
Dimitri grabbed the helpless Lissa and turned her around to face me, his arm around her fragile neck. Even though she somehow kept the fear off her face, I felt every ounce of it magnified through the bond.
No! No!
"Rose, I told you. I told you so many times that you should have given up. Now, I will have to kill the little princess!" Dimitri smiled and his fangs showed through his teeth. A new wave of fear washed through me, and the fighting disappeared.
Dimitri was a fully trained guardian. He was better than me minus his advantages as a Strigoi. He had been my trainer and everything, everything I knew was in his knowledge.
There was only one more option for me to try.
I began to cry and I got on my knees. This surprised Dimitri even, as his red Strigoi widened.
"Please." I said through my tears. No more dignity for Rose Hathaway. Lissa was more important. "Please Dimitri. I'll come with you, do whatever you want with me. I'll help you, I'll do anything. I'll turn Strigoi! Just please, please! Let Lissa go."
I watched thoughts go through his head. Then he arched an eyebrow. Funny he could still do that so naturally, being undead.
"Don't take me for a fool Rose. You don't keep your word. You'll escape the first chance you get. You don't cooperate."
I inhaled a deep breath. "Dimitri. Drink my blood. When… When you bite me, I lose myself. As long as… As long as I'm under the influence I won't be able to do anything." I looked pleadingly at his eyes. There was no trick behind my words. I was laying everything before him, offering everything for Lissa's life. I had to save her. Dimitri didn't look convinced. "I never once tried to escape from you." I continued desperately. "Remember when you kept drinking from me? I couldn't do anything. I never once tried to escape. It was only when you kept me off of your blood that I was able to escape. Only because of that."
Dimitri's eyes shifted. He believed me. He was considering it.
"Rose… Rose please, don't do this." I had completely forgotten Lissa. Her fear had changed, she feared for me. It turned out it wasn't only Dimitri I had convinced. Lissa had always been good at reading people, she knew I was telling the truth. The full truth.
"Please, please Dimitri… Let Lissa go."
His eyes narrowed once again.
"Golland!" Dimitri shouted. One of the Strigoi appeared from a fight. He bowed lightly to Dimitri. "Bite Rose, drink her blood. But do not kill her. She must stay alive."
That was it, he had seen through my final strategy. I had hoped he would try to bite me himself, and once I had gotten close enough, I could get Lissa. I was sure that if I sacrificed my life, which would be lost anyways, I would be able to save Lissa. Dimitri was too smart for that though, he knew me much too well.
Golland walked towards me, and I stood up and shifted my hair to one side revealing my neck. I could see the gleam in Golland, the first emotion I had ever registered with him, as he looked at my neck. He licked his lips before leaning towards me.
"No, Rose! Don't do this! Don't do this, Rose! Just leave me!" Lissa shouted, tears ran down endlessly upon her frail face. This would likely be the last time I saw her.
"Lissa, I love you. Thank you for letting me be your guardian. Thank you for taking care of me. Thank you for saving my life." My eyes shifted to Dimitri, and I met his red-ringed eyes again. They were eager with anticipation. I had finally surrendered. "Thank you for trying Lissa."
Golland's fangs sank into my neck then, and I let out a short scream that reflected the pain before the same euphoria filled me again. It was so wonderful to be bitten again. I forgot instantly why I had ever wanted to stay away from it. It was so beautiful.
"That's enough!" Dimitri's voice burst through.
Reluctantly, Golland backed away from me, and went back to Dimitri's side, wiping his mouth of my blood. The stake in my hand suddenly felt so heavy, I didn't even know why I was holding something like that. If I killed all the Stirgoi I would never feel the ecstasy I was feeling now, again. That would be so horrible. I dropped the stake onto the floor.
I saw Lissa then, crying her eyes out. She was such a crybaby. She always needed me to take care of her, she was such a hassle.
"I always keep my word." He threw Lissa forward, and she fell pitifully onto the ground. I looked down at her pathetically.
"Come on Rose, we need to go. We have to get out of here before more guardians come." Dimitri said with a smile, and help his hand towards me.
Lissa crawled towards me and looked up. "Rose, Rose, please don't go." She was disgusting. I didn't know why she didn't want me to be happy. I was so happy right now.
I looked up to Dimitri and saw a smile fill his face. I was the one causing it, that was so great. Just so great. I walked towards him, and Lissa grabbed my leg. She was so annoying.
"Let go Lissa. I said I would go with him, just let me go."
"Rose, please. You don't want this." She cried.
I shook her off my leg with all my effort. She was very clingy, why did I ever like her? Finally I was able to get her off and she fell onto the floor and began about sob about how much her life sucked. God, did she think of anyone but herself?
Happily, I turned to Dimitri and saw him smiling at me. "Roza." He said softly, which brought another surge of joy through me. I loved it when he called me Roza.
