Rated M, just in case. ;p

He said to lose my life or lose my love
That's the nightmare I've been running from

To Lose My Life by White Lies


He was feeding from him. She was now determined to save him. Slowly and almost soundlessly walked behind the strigoi. She quickly took her stake out and aimed towards his heart-or what was a heart. He moved so quickly the stake pierced his chest. She didn't hit the target but she could buy some time. The strigoi screamed and fell to the floor, his hand on his chest.

Rose had seconds to take him out of there. She wouldn't risk living a life where he was not in it. She grabbed his arms and positioned herself under his arm, dragging him towards the exit. Thank god she thought. She was about to step into the light when a hand yanked her hair.

She groaned in pain and try to shook him off. Dimitri's lazy eyes opened slowly and met his Roza's eyes. She looked at him with loving eyes. Eyes that were never going to see him again. She held his gaze for a split second. An unsettled expression was written in his face as he realized what was about to happen. I love you she mouthed and pushed him outside the cave with such a force he landed on his back and she was dragged back into the darkness of the cave.

The guardians standing outside took hold on Dimitri's arms helping him up. Picture an amateur trying to calm down a fierce starving lion. The lion, in this case, was Dimitri. He cried his love's name "Roza!" and it echoed in the cave. He fought the arms grabbing him until someone knocked him, leaving him unconscious.

The last thing he heard were Rose's cries of agony.

Dimitri was still inside the cave with two other guardians. Rose and the others had been waiting for them to get out. Screw this, Rose thought. She ran inside the caves and followed the screams of Dimitri's. Her heart broke into million pieaces. He couldn't be hurt. Anyone but him. She slowed her pace when she saw the shadowy figure in front, kneeling next to Dimitri's frozen body.
