The story starts after the part where Rose had been shot by Tasha and wakes up after being in coma.
I do not own VA and it's characters
R POV
My whole world had fallen apart and I couldn't do anything about it. My hands start shaking whenever I remember what happened a week ago.
I opened my eyes and found myself in luxury, in a huge bedroom with gilded furniture .Where am I? Suddenly all the recent events came to my mind, Tatiana's murder, my daring escape from the prison, running and hiding from the guardians, Lissa's sister, coming back to court , saving Lissa from being shot….wait, I died when Tasha shot me ,right? So, is this heaven? Not possible considering my behavior and actions.
"Rose!"The trail of thoughts was broken and I turned my face towards the source of voice and found Dimitri sitting beside my enormous bed. I felt an unbearable pain as soon as l moved my neck.
"Roza…don't move…you need rest."Dimitri stood up so that I can see him clearly. Our eyes met, I saw happiness, awe, love and….sadness.
"I'm so happy that you're awake…I will go and call the doctor" He broke the eye contact and I felt a weird pain In my heart. I wanted to stop him. I opened my mouth to stop him but the words did not come out , instead I felt a burning sensation in my throat.
After a few minutes maybe fifteen, the doors to my luxurious room opened and a man in a white coat, most probably the doctor and Lissa came in. Lissa. I'm so glad that she's safe.
"Rose!" She squealed and ran towards my bed.
"I'm so happy that you're alive. I was s-so af-afraid that you may die" Tears stated flowing out of her eyes.
"Liss, I'm…. fine….. stop… crying." I had difficulty in speaking.
"Your majesty, I would like to do a quick check up of Ms. Hathway" the doctor said.
"Sure, go ahead"
I was surprised and happy" Liss…you won….the elections."
"Yes Rose, I did."
That's when I noticed Dimitri wasn't there. I wonder where he is. After the check up, the doctor left giving me a liquid which healed the burning sensation in my throat and I was finally able to speak properly.
"So, your majesty what can I do for you?" I said in a mocking tone. Though Lissa did not reply she was lost deep in thought and that's when I realized that I was no longer able to feel the bond.
"Liss! The bond! I cannot feel it!"
"So, you finally noticed. Adrian says that he can no longer see the bond in our auras. Sonya's theory is that the bond broke when you were shot"
"Who brought me back?" I questioned. I really was confused now.
"No one. You recovered on your own"
"Wow! I'm awesome!" I joked.
"Well I'm sorry Rose but I have some business to take care of."She said with a sad expression on her face and left.
It had been five hours since I woke up and Dimitri was nowhere to be seen. At that very moment the door opened and Dimitri came in, in his full 6'7 glory looking as handsome as always.
"Roza…" His tongue rolled and his honey like voice filled my ears but there was a sadness in his voice.
"Roza…I'm sorry. We can no longer be together…" My whole world broke into small million pieces.
"Comrade….you are joking, R-right?" My voice was hoarse.
"Listen Roza, you mean the world to be but we can't be together. It's for your own good and what happened at the hotel….just forget it."
"No…..NO! DON'T CALL ME ROZA!" I was shocked…..broken again. It hurt so bad. "Get out….GET OUT!"
He locked his eyes with me one last time and left the room.
The love of my life is so close yet so far…..and Liss, she is so busy with her queen work that I talk to her rarely. The two most important people in my life are now so distant from me.
I checked my duffel bag one last time making sure that I had kept all the essentials like basic clothing, toiletries, my nazar and a stake . Leaving a note on my bed, I opened the door with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes, I left.
I can no longer live here…so I decided to leave the court.
I made my way to the main gate making sure at I was not noticed by anyone. It was morning; night according to the vampire schedule; therefore, the moroi and most of the guardians were asleep.
After showing my ID and giving my reason of leave as 'running a small errand in the nearby town' I was allowed to go.
It had been three hours since I left court and I was at a fair distance from there when I bumped into someone.
"Watch where you are going !" I yelled.
There were three people two girls and one boy. One of the girl with light brown hair was a human while the girl with sandy blonde hair and the boy with dark brown hair were dhampirs. There was a look of pure panic on their faces and that's when I felt a nausea, not the one saying that I was sick but the one which said that a strigoi was near and in this case more than one. After a second, a group of twelve strigoi appeared out of thin air and attacked us.
