Set after the attack of Spokane but this time, Mason survives. What happens with Dimitri and Rose?

Each chapter will be either Dimitri's point of view or Rose's point of view

DPOV

I entered and I saw her. Rose. The girl that I have fallen for and who stole my heart from the moment I saw her. I knew no matter what I did to try to forget about her and my feeling towards her never worked because I truly loved her with everything I have.

But I was shocked to see that she killed two strigoi on her own, in addition to that she and Mason were holding on to each other and they didn't want to let go. Her sobs were clear and he was hugging her close trying to soothe her.

"Beelike, take her away from here and Alto take Mason. They will need a lot of attention so each of you have something to keep your hands busy for now." Janine yelled at us.

We moved fast knowing we had a lot of work ahead of us with these students. Rose just made her first two kills before she even graduated and her friend, Mason, saw her behead the two strigoi.

I went quickly to Rose's side to take her away, but, I was shocked by what she said next,

"NO, I want to be with Mason. Please leave me or take us both together......"

She continued to sob for a while, all the while she was holding on to Mason as if she was holding on to her own life. Something in that bothered me. She said she loved me and wanted me, but I foolishly told her that there couldn't anything between us because of our age difference and our same charge when she graduated. I told her that she should be with someone her own age. And she just had to listen to that, out of everything I tell her to do, she chooses to listen to that and comply to it at once.

"I am here Rose; I promise I will always be here....."Mason said as he held on to her while stroking her hair and trying to soothe her. It took all my effort not to rip him off her and declare to the whole world that she is mine and no one else's.

But I couldn't, because I knew the consequences if I did. I didn't care if I got fired but she would get suspended and she would hate me forever. I couldn't continue the thought because I didn't want to imagine my life without her or with her hating me and know she is right because I ruined her life.

"Mason, it is ok. I got her from here. Rose, it's Dimitri, I am going to take you know so we could return to the academy and treat you"

"No, you can't take me away from him. He has to come with us."

"He will Rose. Guardian Alto will take care of him."

I noticed as I said those words that I was trying to pry her off him.

"Mason I love you."

Those words sent daggers everywhere in body. I lost her. The girl I loved and I just lost her. And the worst thing is that I pushed her away from me. She wanted to hold onto to me but I just had to the right thing and just no accept or admit my love to her. Great Belikov, you just lost her. Real smart, I thought.

When she finally let go of him she just began walking and I could see the agony and pain on her and it killed me to see her like that. I tried to put an arm around so I could pull her closer to me so I can tell her that I would always be there for her no matter what and that I am insanely and deeply in love with her. But her response shocked me. She just shrugged off my arm and took a step back. I figured that she was still shocked and didn't want anyone near her except for the people that she was with.

As I helped her inside the jet that was supposed to carry me and her to the hotels and then the others would join us the next day. The reason they did that was because I was her mentor and they figured that I should be the one that she would stay with until she clams down and realizes what she did and how proud she should be that a novice her age did such a thing.

When we got on the plane, I tried to pull her into a seat so she could sit next to me, so I could be there if she needed anything.

But instead she just chose to sit away. I wanted to be next to her, to feel her warmth and take away the pain that she was experiencing. So, I went to sit next to her. The whole two hour flight she didn't even acknowledge the fact that I was sitting next to her. She never even turned to look at me and when she slept she went on the edge of the plane seat and she laid her head backwards, not wanting any contact with me though.

That really broke me in two. But, I was still stubborn, thinking that I still have a chance at the hotel to prove to her what she really means to me.

When the plane landed, there was a car there that I would have to drive to the hotel which was a about a 30 minute drive from where we landed. As we got off the plane, I tried to pull Rose closer to me. She did the same thing that she did to me when we were still back in the house.

When we got to the car, I opened the passenger door for her; instead, she went to the back. Maybe she wanted some space, I thought.

When we arrived at the hotel, I wasn't a fool to repeat the gesture of putting me arm around her. I just wanted her to come to me, but I was more than disappointed that she didn't. I had my hopes that if she saw a lot of couples walking hand in hand and near each other that she would realize that she wanted me in that way and she would come.

I checked in the hotel and led her to elevator. Still nothing, she didn't even look at me, she just stared at the ceiling or at the floor.

When we entered the hotel room, I decided that I should start talking to her about something to distract her from what happened in Spokane.

"Rose......"

I didn't know how to begin. I was eager to ask her why she wouldn't let me touch her to comfort her or if she meant what she said to Mason. She walked over and stood at the window looking out. She stood there for about 5 minutes and by that time I figured she would be calm enough to let me hold her, no, just to touch her would be enough. I walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder which she again, just shrugged away.

"Please, don't touch me" she told me.

"Rose, did I upset you or do anything wrong to you?"
" No, Dimitri I am with Mason now. I am sorry I just can't have you that close to me."
"What?"
"I love him Dimitri. I don't want to leave him."

She walked over to sit on the bed and I just stood there shocked for a couple of seconds. She loved him. But that can't be right; no I still had a chance. I just went over to sit by her on the bed.

We sat in silence together for a couple of minutes and soon I moved my and on top of hers. She turned her hand over to hold mine in it and something in that made me smile. I couldn't help but stare at our intertwined hands and how perfect they were together. We sat there, just holding hands for about an hour. It felt like minutes to me. Soon, she just got up went to the bathroom and locked the door on herself. I thought she just needed to wash her face. Fifteen minutes passed and I was beginning to get worried so I walked over and knocked on the door. There was no response.

"Rose, love are you okay?"

There was no reply from her. I tried to knock again but there was no response. I knew she wasn't doing anything because I couldn't hear anything. So I just busted down the door. And there she was sitting alone in a corner. Not crying, not doing anything just sitting there with her knees pulled up to her chest. I went over to sit next to her and put an arm around her. Her words shocked me.

"Where is Mason?"
"Rose, Mason is with Stan right now."
"Can I please talk to him?" She asked me in a pleading voice.
"I don't know Rose; maybe you should just calm down and get some rest..."
"Please, I'll do anything if you just let me call him and talk to him for two minutes to make sure he is okay."
"Rose....."
"Please Dimitri......"

Something in that shocked me. She was going to do anything, anything, just to hear his voice. It took all my will power to just sit there and not to looking for him and seek revenge. Instead, I just walked and got my phone and dialled Stan's number.
He picked up his phone on the third ring.

"Hey Belikov, how is Rose doing?"
"She just wants to talk to Mason."
"Yeah, he has been bugging me to talk to her for about an hour now"
"Ok, put him on while I give her the phone."

I reluctantly walked over to her and handed her the phone.

"Mason?"
"Rose, honey, how are you doing?"
"I am so glad to hear your voice."
"Yeah, me too."
"I miss you. Please come here"
"I promise we will be back together soon tomorrow. For now, please promise me to that you will try your hardest to get better."
"Okay, I promise. I love you Mase"
"I love you too, Rose. More than you could ever imagine"

And with that their phone call ended. I was in shock. I lost her, I really did this time. And I was broken.

Then another thought came to mind. No, I will try. I will not rest until I get Rosemarie Hathaway back. I will not rest until I earn her heart and trust back. And this time I meant it.
