Hi!

New story. Not completely my, beata5645 gave me this idea. So, this story is for you!

I don't own Vampire Academy.

This story starts in cave, when Dimitri is attacked by Strigoi.

Rose POV

My mothers arms held my firmly, but I paid no atention to it. He needed me! Dimitri needed me! I needed to get to him. I let my mother lead me away a little, but then, when she wasn't holding me that firmly I ran the fastest I could. I saw that Strigoi. He was only playing with Dimitri, but then he almost escaped.

Strigoi opened his mouth. His fangs were so close to his skin. His mouth found Dimitris neck. No.

He was going to bit him, turn him or kill him. Never. I knew it would kill me. I couldn't breathe. I did only thing possible to save my love. My Dimitri. I jumped and landed on Strigoi.

You would say I can't jump so far. I can't jump that fast. But it was. For Dimitri, everything. I could fly and jump and run and die for him. Everything. I hit Strigois body. We fell to the floor. Everything was spinning and I saw corouful points everywhere. But Strigoi was confused too.

I took out my stake and hhit the first part of his body that I could reach. It was his chest, but not heart. I took the stake out and staked him. My vision was normal again, world was no more spinning.

It was falling apart.

I saw Dimitri. His skin was pale. I kneeled next to him and noticed red marks on his neck. Please, no.

I placed my hand on his chest.

Nothing.

I placed my ear to his lips.

Nothing.

His heart stopped. So has mine. „Dimitri! Dimitri, no! Wake up, please! Dimitri!" I slapped him across the face. He still laid here. It took me half of a minute to check the rest of his injuries. None. He hadn't lost that much blood, but Strigoi gave him too much endorphins at once. When I abruptly stpped him, Dimitris heart didn't make it.

I burst to tears. No my Dimitri. Why?! He just said he love sme! We found out how we can be together. Why?! When he kissed me, when he touched me, I felt so real, so alive... I could only kiss him back.

Kiss him.

...Rose, do it properly, like when you make blood whore to your Moroi... I remembered the day. Some Moroi shouted that at me and I kicked his as together with Mason. The point is that I could open mouth of a resuscitation dummy and blow into it. Resuscitation.

I put off Dimitris duster, tore of his t-shirt and took a deep breath. Now or never.

I tilt his head, opened his mouth and covered it with mine. Nothing erotic, really. Breath one, breath two. I placed my hand on his chest, my arms straight and pushed. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-20-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-30 and again two breaths and 1-2-3-4-5... I repeated this for almost ten minutes. I was loosing it. Loosing Dimitri. No.

I was just at the second 7, when I heard his cough. And it was one of the most beautiful sounds of my life. I stopped. Dimitri coughed again and then opened his beautiful eyes. „Roza?"

I realized I was crying, my face was red, eyes puffy, but I was the happiest person ever. I hugged him. „How do you feel? Can you sit down?" he noded and I helped him. He was better, but I didn't want him to stan dup. He might be too weak and pass out. „I'm fine, just..." he placed one palm on his forehead. Then his eyes widened and he hugged me tightly. „Roza... Roza. You saved me. Roza. Thank you... I don't know what to say... Thank you... Roza... I love you, I love you... I'm so sorry... I love you..." I sqeezed him and placed my head on his chest.

„I love you too. Just please, promise me that you won't do that again." I knew I wnted something unreal, but I didn't care. I needed him.

„I promise. But Roza... we have to go. It's darker with every second." He stood up. He looked fine. I forced him to drink some water from a bottle we found lying half-out of a dead guardians pocket.

We walked out of the cave. After a few feet, I stopped. „Dimitri... do we have to go back to Academy? I dont want to." He looked at me, confused.

„You don't want to go back to Lissa?" I felt a wave of anger fly through me.

„Lissa. It's always Lissa. Why? It's my life. I gave it to protect her, but this is the end. I don't want to do it anymore. I don't want to let my life go away, not enjoyed. I want to love whoever I want, I want to live my life as I want. I don't want to follow Lissa for the rest of my life. I could be killed every minute without saying you that I love you. I could bekilled because Moroi can't protect themselves. I love Lissa like a sister, but I want to live my life. Some Moroi act like Dhampirs are something gross and they are good just to lay their lives for Moroi. I don't want to be heir lifebuoy anymore." I said. Dimitri looked at me wide-eyes. His mouth was slightly opened and I thought that he is dissapoited. „Theys are more important for you? More important then you? Then me?" I asked and I felt my tears in the corners of my eyes.

„No, Roza, of course not. You are the most important thing in whole universe. And you are not just a thing, you are a person. Beautiful person in every way. You are wise, strong, beautiful. I love you. When you saved me in the cave, I realized that I can't live without you. No matter what would happen, I don't want to protect Moroi anymore. Only person I want to protect is you. I won't give up my life for someone that just replaces me with someone other, just to sacrifice him too. Rose" he kneeled in front of me and held my hands in his, „run away with me. Please, I love you and we don't want to protect Moroi. You are much stronger then Lissa. You would do anything for her, but it wasn't her who saved me. It was you and only you. Why would you sacrifice your life for her? You deserve something better. Please, come with me." I felt smile on my face. Soon, I laughed and rested my forehead against his.

„I will go whereever you go. I love you." We walked and when Dimitri was better, we ran. We didn't meet any Strigoi and I was really grateful. We ran about an hour when we found a road. It was old, but another half an hour lead us to alfalt one. We stopped a car. Older man and woman opened and they seemed to be happy to help us. They were going to Chicago and they happily agreed to bring two stranger there. We traveled for a long time, but at least I had some time to think. Dimitri was right. Lissa was my friend, my family and I still loved her. But no one ever wanted her to save someone. After she brought me back her life was turned around but not only her. My too. But I had to be stronger. I had to protect her without loosing my and her mind. All she had to do was avoid Spirit and dangerouss situations as much as she could. I was her rock to lean on, but also her empty jar. She could keep her feelings in me, but when I saw Dimitri dead on the groun, it exploded. It was full. I'm not going to repair it because I can't just pretend I don't love, that there is only one person I want to protect with my life. Because that's not true. As long as I am with Dimitri... I don't need her Spirit. We won't let death reach us. We will protect each other. Death holds us alive.

/*/*/*/

I never thought it would be that easy. First months it wasn't. But Dimitri found a way. When his father died, his mother Olena gave him his credit card with all his money. Dimitri didn't want it but he decided to use it. He bought us little flat in Chicago and an automat that made coffee and hot chocolate. We lived in love and smile never left our faces. I pushed bond to back of my head and never looked at it again.

After six months, we had enough money to buy an old gym and rebuild it. Soon, it was full of visitors. It had running track outside and inside, all stuff needed to train, weights and even a big pool, sauna and wellnes. There was a big room to dance and the dancers loved it. It is our place.

We also bought a big flat. It aws new, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, livingroom and a big kitchen. Two balnonies were big and new and we both loved it.

We wake up every morning at seven and at eight we open our gym. After a few weeks we found friends that went there regulary. We close at ten. We usualy don't spend whole day here, but it became part of our life. We still train, run and do everything to be great guardians. And we help with training whoever who needs it or asks. We have fighting class, it's very fancy.

We also travel around the city and kill Strigoi. We get our marks from Alchemists. They don't tell anybody about us... because thats the thing. Everybody thinks we are dead or turned. We both have necks half-filled with marks but I don't complain. We help the world.

I'm 21 now and Dimitri is 28. He is stil like 20-years old though. And our love? Stronger with every day. I still feel like before four years when I fell in love with him. And it's even better. Two years ago, we got married. It was simple, just the two of us and our two friends. We both agreed it will be better if I keep my name. But Dimitri forced me to buy big, princess white dress anyway.

/*/*/*/

I woke up, sun shining throught the window. I felt Dimitris arm threw around my waist and smiled mentally. It was five to seven. I decided to get up and prepare coffee for Dimitri and hot chocolate for me. It was impossible, because when I removed Dimitris arm he opened one eye.

„Good morning, Roza." He opened his second eye too and looks at the clock. He placed a kiss on my cheek and lifted me up from the bed.

I laughed. „Goo morning Dimitri, where are you going?"

„Well, we are going to kitchen and maybe have some breakfast?" Her placed me on the counter and reached behind me for bread and toaster. „Well, Nutela, ham, cheese?" he placed a kiss on my lips with every ingredient.

„Hmmm, Nutela." I said. Still sitting on counter, I prepare coffee and hot chocolate. „Jack Sparrow or How To Train Your Dragon?" I ask Dimitri.

„I'll let you choose." I decided that I wanted a cup with Jack Sparrow and left dragons for Dimitri. By the time I finish, Dimtri placed full plates of toastson the table and places me on the chair. „I'm not using my legs today, Comrade?"

„Yes, you are, but we are running at ten, not now." I didn't even groan, I was used to running.

After brakfast we got dressed, used bathroom and we found out we had fifteen minutes to do something before we have to go to our gym. I turned TV on and watched news. It was about some koala born in China, when a worried face of reporter appeared on the screen. „News from Chicago, in past five minutes, fire stations recorded eight houses and flats in flames. They found out it's exploding gas. It's still working it's way to other houses, please, after you see adress on screen, turn off your TVs, telephones, computers and electricity systems. People from those adresses, please go out of your house and don't stay near. Don't take anything with you, your homes maybe won't explode." I was a little scared and I looked at adresses on the screen. My heart froze when I saw our adress there. Dimitri grabbed my hand and lead me out. We runned on the street, together with many poeple that saw their adress om the screen.

Block of flats a few metres behind us exploded. We didn't feel that, but some poeple fell and building was in flames.

Suddenly, I heard something. It's faint, but I can say it's a scream. Dimitri probably heard it too, because he stopped. It's too quiet for human, but Dhampir can hear it. I heard it again, a little louder this time. I looked at Dimitri and we turned around and runned.

Straidht into burning building. We ran on the second floor and screams are louder and louder. We ran to some door. It's a flat smaller then ours. In something what was probably living room we find a girl. She is screamong. „Mum! Mum! Mamma, please wake up! Wake up! Mamma!" I grabbed her around her waist and pulled her away. She kicked and fought, but I held her. Dimitri kneeled in front of the woman on the floor. She was dead, all covered with blood. „No! Mum!" Somewhere in higher flats the gas exploded again. After about ten seconds, it exploded lower, closer to us. We both listen. Ten seconds – explosion number three, again closer.

„Run!" Shouted Dimitri and caught girls left arm. I caught her right. She was still fighting. She was strong. A Dhampir.

„Stop! We need to get out of here!" I shout at the girl. She stopped and now she was like a puppet. „What about my mum? Where is my mum?" she kept reapeating while we runned to stairs. We only got to first floor and we found out we can't use them anymore – they were in fire and half of them was just ash and stones. Dimitri lead us to flat, opened the window and kissed me. „Jump out. I'll jump after you with her." He motioned to girl.

„Ok." I kissed his cheek and jumped. I landed well and then watched Dimitri. He carefully jumped out with girl pressed tightly to his chest. He landed and stood up. I ran to them. They were okay. We walked a few steps away when glass of the window we jumped from exploded together with whole flat. When we arrived to gym, I phoned to hospital. They came, checked us and said we are fine.

We all took shower and sat in our office. Gym was open, but no one really trained that much. Everybody was worried and asked us if we are all right.

Girl sat in big armchair where Dimitri placed her. I borrowed her some clothes and me and Dimitri changed, too. They I asked her: „Hello. I'm Rose and this is Dimitri, my husband. What's your name."

„I'm... I'm Melody. Melody Lea Harper." She said with blank face.

„It's nice to meet you, Melody. How old are you?" asked Dimitri and kneeled nex tto her.

„I'm twelve. And you?" She suprised me with her question. She seemed to be a little curious.

„I'm 21."

„And I'm 28."

„Hmmm, nice. It's nice to meet you. What... What about my mum? Where is she?" I took deep breath. Their flat exploded too and there was no chance for her to survive. She was already dead when we saw Melody.

„I'm sorry, but... she didn't make it. We couldn't save her. I'm so sorry." Said Dimitri. Melody cried. Tears stream down her face and her silent sobs echoed in office. I placed my arm around her. Dimitri held her hands in his. We looked at each other and knew one thing:

We will protect this girl.

Dimitri POV

Two months passed and our life was starting to be normal again. As normal as our life can be. City gave us new flat, it was the same as our old but a few blocks away in opposite direction. They saved all of our things but it wasn't safe to live in our old flat, wich proved explosion in it a month ago. The gas is stopped now. Everythings is fine again.

And we have got a daughter.

No, Rose wasn't pregnant. We adopted Melody. Today, we brought her to her new home. She loves it. She is strong. She still misses her mother, but she is getting throught it. She sais they weren't so close.

I will always remember that moment when she called med ad and Rose mum. She said sorry, but we said that we are happy.

And we are. We have got a child and each other. We saved her and in that moment she stepped to our lifes and hearts. And we love her. She loves us. She said it several times. Of course that she is still sad, but smile is quickly getting to her face again. Now I have got two lights in my life.

Rose and Melody. I will protect them both. I hope there won't be a situation when I would have to choose between them two. Because I can't. But Rose still has her own mind and she will have. And she is a great mother. I watched her everyday when we visited her in orphanage. She was so great. Finnaly, after two months, court approved and we could take her home. Her room waited for her already and I loved that we could make her smile. She hugged us and said: „I love you, mum and dad."

I am a father.
