I do not claim to own any of these charters other than the one I make up. Along with her original ideas. I just thought that some of my idea's would be fun to add onto such an amazing book series.

Dimitri's POV.

Rose sat there across from me, breath taking in her deep crimson evening dress. I hope I took her to the right restaurant. I looked around the forest green room, lit up in candle chandeliers. Lighter green drapes hung around the window and on the far end of the room the Bip castle in St. Petersburg was painted covering the entire wall. I cannot believe I'm doing this. What if she says no? How can I take that? Oh my, she's looking at me with those beautiful brown eyes.

"Dimitri?"

"Yes, Rose?"

"Are you feeling okay? You look a little green."

"I'm fine. Just thinking."

This is the first night we both haven't had to be on duty at the same time in almost six months. And it's the only time that I can do this before Christian and I are off to visit his uncle in China. Just breathe Dimitri. You love her. She loves you. You can do this. Viktoria said that you have nothing to worry about.

"So, something is up with Lissa. I think she's hiding something from me. I hate not having the bond. It was nearly impossible for her to hide anything from me with it."

Oh God, please don't let Rose know what Lissa is hiding from her. Please, don't Rose know what I'm about to do.

"Maybe, it's something to do with her and Christian?"

"Doubt it. She normally comes clean the moment she sees me. I think it's something big though... I'm hoping it's nothing to do with Abe and my mother."

Abe and Guardian Janine Hathaway (Rose's mother.)Are currently rekindling their relationship. Janine requested to be Abe's guardian and now they are currently somewhere in Russia. Man, was that last phone call to them awkward for me.

"Why would Lissa know anything about Abe and Janine?"

"Not sure, but what else would she keep from me."

"This, maybe."

At that I slipped out of my chair and on one knee in front of her and a black velvet box sat in my right hand.

"Rosemarie Hathaway, will you do me the honors of being my wife?"

All of this happened in less than two minutes but each second felt like years. Those deep brown eyes widened and she started turning ghostly white.

"wh..What did you just ask me?"

Oh god, she's going to say no. I just looked up again and repeated the question.

"I asked if you would marry me, Rose."

Her face then turned to a disbelieved look. Her eyes started to dart around.

"Adrian this is not funny. You have done this before it isn't nice to play with people's emotions this way. I know you are still mad at me but this again? So FUCKING low. Even for you!"

I shifted uncomfortably. Should I get up now? No, I'll just sit here for a minute, I think if I move I might pass out. ADRIAN? Again? What is she talking about?

"Rose, what are you talking about?"

"You can cut this out. I know it's you Adrian, and you need to let me out of here so I can go see Dimitri. I guess I fell asleep before our date. I can't believe you're doing this same dream again."

I could tell she was getting extremely annoyed by now. Her face was turning red and she had her hands clinched into fists. I got up then and moved to stand in front of her bending over just enough to look into her eyes.

"Rose, calm down you aren't asleep. And Adrian isn't here, in fact I honestly haven't seen him in about eight months. It would be nice if you would answer my question though."

A second later everything went black for a minute. Rose was running out of the door. It took me until the waiter rushed over to actually grasp what had just happened. She hit me. SHE ACTUALLY HIT ME! I have no idea what the waiter was talking about as I threw a hundred down and ran after Rose.

I ask her to marry me and she nearly knocks me out. WOW. Abe was right. If she didn't want to get married she would let me know. She had stopped at a corner and was now looking back at me. I ran toward her, and she took off again. I honestly cannot believe this is happening. She turned down a dark alley, I quickly followed she stood frozen in place.

"ADRIAN WHERE EVER YOU ARE IT'S NOT SAFE!" She yelled it with such force I wanted to cover my ears.

"Rose, I don't know why you think you are with Adrian but everything is safe her-" And that's when the pale figure attacked Rose. She wasn't ready for it. She clearly, still thought she was in one of Adrian's dreams. I had no time to think as I quickly grabbed the stake out of my belt and attacked as fast as a viper. My stake struck into his ribs going straight into his heart. He fell to the ground.

"ROSE! ROZA!"

"Dimitri, I'm okay. I'm okay."

And with that she ran into my arms shaking violently. I began to stroke her hair. Murmuring in Russian that everything is okay.

"Roza, are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine. I-I'm not in one of Adrian's dreams am I?"

I laughed. I couldn't help it after everything she still thought she was in one of his dreams. Did he really go through all of that just to torture her?

"No, Rose you are not in one of his dreams."
