Behind me, I saw the one thing that could make me, Rose Hathaway, cry. Especially in front of my mom and a bunch of other guardians.
Behind me, I saw Dimitri grabbed by a blonde ass of a strigoi, and being dragged back into the caves and away from me. The second I heard him scream I screamed too and ran back to help him. As I ran, I felt like everything was in slow motion but a blur at the same time. I could faintly hear my mom yelling for me to stop and come back. Three pairs of hands grabbed me but I quickly fought them off. As I neared the shadows which Dimitri had been dragged into, I saw the strigoi getting ready to bite him.
"NO," I screamed as I jumped on the strigoi's back and tackled him down. He was quick to react though and stood hovering over me. I mentally kicked myself… what have I gotten myself into now? Though one more scream from Dimitri snapped me back to reality and I stood up. I don't think that strigoi expected me to recover at all since when I stood up the surprise on his face gave me an easy opening. I quickly staked him and watched as his body fell to the floor.
"Roza," I heard Dimitri whisper. I turned back to him as fresh tears built up in my eyes. He was so hurt that I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that I saved him. I ran out just as a group of guardians got there. I ran and ran until I got back in the academy. I received a lot of weird stares but, right now I couldn't care less. I simply picked up my pace with tears streaming down my face and made my way to my dorm room.
3 week later
It has been three weeks since the attack and I'm sure that Dimitri is dead. Our practices have been canceled and I just don't see him anymore. No matter what people say, a part of my heart was still broken. And that part belongs to Dimitri. Even when I did see him I'm just sure he is a ghost.

It has been three weeks, and Rose still doesn't believe I'm alive. I've tried talking to her, to prove to her I didn't die and that she saved me. Though whenever she sees me she is so sure I'm a ghost she walks on by; once she freaked out and almost went screaming to Alberta that the wards were broken and that ghosts got in. I was thinking and as much as I love my Roza, if she is so sure I'm dead then what's the point in scaring her by trying to speak with her. I don't want to hurt her anymore so I made the hardest decision in my life. I am going to take Tasha's offer.
