Summary
Victor Dashkov has escaped and has sworn revenge on none other than Rosemarie Hathaway. Will her body heart and soul survive? Set sometime before graduation except Dimitri was never taken.

Chapter 1
I lay on top of my bed breathing deeply trying to keep calm. In my shaking hands I hold a letter, a letter that looks like any ordinary letter except for two things. One; it was written in red ink, the colour of blood. Two; it was signed by a man so evil; he turned his own daughter strigoi. Victor Dashkov. The very man who tried to kidnap; torture and abuse my best friend and bond mate, Vasilisa Dragomir. I has eventually found him and sent him down the path to hell. Or in this case, prison.
Now I read and re-read every word, memorizing them unilateral they are burned into my mind. The words fill me with fear and anger.

My dear Rosemarie,

We have not spoken in a long time. I do hope you you are very well aware after you took Vasilisa from me and they sent me to Trashtov (AN is that the name of the prison?) but you see, I learned a lot from you Rose and I am now free. I have escaped. And I'm coming for you. You and I have some unsettled debts to attend too. As I always say tea revenge make a wonderful breakfast. Hope to see you very soon.

The one and only, Victor Dashkov.

Just my luck. I finally am starting to get m life back on track and graduation is just round the corner and now I find out I have to deal with psychopath trying to take revenge on me. Bloody fantastic.
I run as fast as my legs can carry me, straight for the only place I have never been voluntarily. I run past students and teachers in a blur just focusing on my destination. As I run through the big double doors I screech to a halt. 3 eyes turned to me, 2 full of surprise and 1 just full of annoyance. Yep, I was looking at Headmistress Kirova.

"Rose, whatever you did, just tell Stan to deal with you as he sees fit. I do not have time to deal with your attitude today." she said tiredly.

"Actually I'm here of my own free will, and would you really let Stan do that to me? He'd kill me! Anyway the point is Victor Dashkov is free and is threatening revenge." I say matter-of-factly.

"How do you know Rose? It seems very unlikely and who is he supposedly sworn revenge on?" ah, Alberta always the tone of surprise andcontradiction.

"He sent me a letter explaining how he is free. He has also sworn revenge on me. Something to do with me helping to lock him up. Seriously you think he would have grown up on prison." I blabber on about nothing trying to hide just how scared I really am. Just then both Kirova and Alberta set into action, discussing tactics on how best to deal this while Kirova notifies the courts guardians. I wasn't up to the discussion; I had my full attention on the third pair of eyes that belonged to god himself. The only person in the room who hadn't said a word or shown any concern what so ever. Ironically, he should be more concerned than anyone else. Dimitri didn't show anything. Just as if he was bored and didn't care if Victor killed me. I turned around and walked out feeling the anger threatening to overtake my control.
I ran to the one person who would understand. I walked into Lissa's room and crawled into her crying and soon enough I had explained everything from the Victor Dashkov letter to Dimitri. She wasn't shocked about Dimitri apparently I wasn't as good as hiding it as I thought I was, she had seen the way I looked at him and the way I had let my emotions take over the night of the attack. The letter was a whole different story.

"Rose, please be careful. I don't want to lose you again. Victor is not the kind of person you want to talk so try and not do anything stupid?" for a few seconds we just stared at way other until laughter spurted from her lips and quickly following mine.

"Okay, okay so just try to be LESS stupid than usual." she barely managed since she was laughing so hard from the thought of me not doing stupid and hot headed things. That goes against my very nature. While still laughing I said "I have to go, god almighty waits for me in training. See you later Liss." and I walked quickly towards the gym knowing I was late.

When I arrived there, Dimitri was nowhere to be seen so I decided to go and warm up with some laps around the track. I placed my bag in the corner and headed out.
When I got there I could a very fit and well put together man running already and when he caught my eye that cheeky grin came out in all its glory.

"Hey Eddie, ready for a race?" I yelled as he jogged over to me.

"Oh it's on Hathaway! You couldn't win if you tried."

"Ready? Set. GO!"

I started off, heading straight for the track and 10 laps later I was leading, heading straight for the finish line. Eddie was too far behind to catch me up so I just jogged over it laughing so hard that a doubled over, tears running down my face. Then all of a sudden something hit into my back knocking me onto the grass. While this person was on my back they began tickling me and it was excruciating. I kicked out and eventually made contact with his ribs and that's when we started fighting. It was Eddie who had attacked me and now he was going to feel that pain. We both got in a few good punches and even though Eddie was a very skilled fighter I owned his ass. Just then he jumped up, probably not wanting to be embarrassed anymore, and said,

"Next time Rose, next time." and with that he ran off heading for the dorms. I really did love Eddie and he loved me. We were family but I always knew deep down, no matter how much he hid it, that he hated to look at me because every time he did he saw Mason, his best friend. Ever since Spokane he had sworn to protect me, in Mason's name, knowing that if anything happened to me Mason would hate him for letting it happen but I knew. I just knew that Eddie hated it and I hated myself for it too. I was walking deep in thought that I didn't notice Dimitri until I walked right into him. And god did he look pissed off.

"Gym. Now." he all but screamed at me.

"Um. Let me think. Hell no! What the hell is wrong with you?"

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop running with Castile! You two do nothing but game about when you need to focus! You need to grow up Rose." Oh no he did not just say that!

"Me? Grow up? You know Dimitri that I have grown up more than I could even imagine I would! Your being childish here, you are in a mood and taking it out on me. You are also making up and excuse that we need to 'focus' when you know dam well that I could pass this test blindfolded! Hell I might even do it blindfolded, Eddie could too. What is wrong with you? Ever since that night in the cabin you haven't even looked at let alone touched me! What happened?" I screamed tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Oh Rose. Roza. You see that night everything changed. I don't see you that way, that night when we were attacked and I watched you fight I realized that you are going to be great. A legend and I can't take that away from you. Also I realized that the feelings I had for you, could never outweigh the feelings I have for you as a mentor. You are my student and that is the most important thing. Rose, love fades. Mine did." those 4 words just ripped my already shredded heart smaller and smaller until I disintegrated and ceased to exist.

"Oh okay then. Well I guess I better go hit those practice dummies before I decide to hit your fucked up face." and I run willing myself not to turn back and murder him.

I hit and punched the dummies with everything I had left, which wasn't a lot since I had given myself to Dimitri. Four words burned into my head making everything around me turn into a blur of pain and heartbreak.

Love fades, mine has.

It was going round and round until I had no strength left and I collapsed right there in the middle of the gym. I don't know how long I lay there but eventually someone found me and held me. They let me cry and ramble into their chest only murmuring some words of comfort and sympathy. It wasn't until he said,

"It's okay little Dhampir." that I realized that my saviour was the only man in the world I loved and trusted enough to see me melt down to my weakest point. Just then I realized truly could love Adrian. In fact I did.

I loved Adrian Ivashkov.
