Hey! So this is basically what I think would have happened if Dimitri hadn't been changed during Shadow Kissed. The italicized part is taken directly from the book.

My mother slapped me, the pain snapping me out of my daze.
"Run!" She yelled at me. "He is dead!" You are not going to join him!"
Despite what she said, I knew he wasn't dead yet. And I wasn't going to let him die. I kneed her in the stomach, which was enough to distract her momentarily. I would feel bad about that, but these weren't exactly normal circumstances. I sprinted back into the caves which also forced me to run through a group of Strigoi. I pushed some aside and staked the ones I could.
I broke through and saw a Dimitri on the ground and a Strigoi leaning over him. I stopped. Though I wanted to just rush into this I knew I had to be careful if I wanted to save Dimitri. The Strigoi leaned towards Dimitri's neck again and I sprinted forward and jumped on the blond Strigoi. Once I had him pinned to the ground I cut his face with my stake. I wasn't about to stake this bastard and let him die easy. He had to pay.
I glanced over at Dimitri for just a moment and he stood up. He was ok. Thank god. I cut the blonde Strigoi's throat and he screamed in pain. "Fuck you you bastard!" I screamed at him.
"Rose. Stop. Just stake him and be done with it." Dimitri said.
"No. He has to pay!" I shouted angrily.
"Rose, this isn't you this is Spirit."
"No this is me!" I growled.
"Roza, this isn't you." He said, with concern for me in his voice.
I thought about what he said and then I slowly realized it was true. This was darkness from Spirit. That doesn't mean I didn't want this Strigoi's death to be painful though. I sighed and staked him then stood up. I looked at the mouth of the cave and saw there weren't any Strigoi or Guardians left. The Guardian's had retreated and the Strigoi had gone farther into the caves.
"Dimitri, are you ok?"
"I'm fine." I looked at him. He was so not fine! He had a bite mark on his neck and a gash on his arm. I looked down at myself and realized that my injuries were just about as bad as his. I had a big bleeding gash on my leg, I was pretty sure I had broken my ankle and I had another large cut on my arm that was gushing blood. Shit. My adrenaline was running to high to feel it right now but I'm sure that was gonna hurt later.
"Rose, we need to get back. And you need to go to see Dr. Olendeski." Dimitri told me.
"So do you! Your neck in bleeding! And so is your arm!" Dimitri sighed and we both exited the caves. We only had about five minutes before the sun went down and there was pretty much no was we could get back into the wards in five minutes. "We need to like, sprint back cause the sun is setting."
Dimitri nodded and we began to run. My ankle started aching and after about three minutes of running I knew there was no way I could run back. Without any hesitation Dimitri slipped his arm over my shoulder and that took most of the weight off my ankle.
We got into the wards with no time to spare before sun down. There were Guardians all rushing around to different places, but that wasn't what I was paying attention to. Lissa, Adrian, Christian and a slightly beat-up-looking Eddie were sitting on a bench and they all looked nervous, especially Lissa. I could tell through the bond that she was freaking out. She had seen all the Guardians come back but I hadn't been with them. She thought something horrible had happeneed to me.
When she saw me she ran forward with Eddie and Christian not far behind. Lissa threw her arms around me, which was awkward because Dimitri was still holding me up. My ankle was in incredible pain and if it weren't for Dimitri I would have probably fallen on the ground.
Lissa looked at Dimitri holding me up and then she looked at my ankle then I felt a sudden rush of Spirit and after it was over I said, "Lissa! Dammit, why did you do that! Don't waste your magic!"
Lissa rolled her eyes and said, "Rose you could barely stand up and you were bleading like crazy."
I pulled out from under Dimitri's arm. I wished I could have stayed leaning against him but we had to keep us a secret.
"I would've been fine..." I muttered. Then I remembered that Dimitri was also wounded "Lissa...do you mind healing Dimitri?" I said and Dimitri said "Rose, she doesn't need to heal me."
"Do you want to bleed to death?" I asked sarcastically. "Besides isn't there some rule that if someone saves your life you do what they say? Well I saved your ass back there so you owe me. And I'm telling you to let her heal you." I said.
Lissa stepped forward and put her hands on Dimitri's arm. Through the bond I felt the rush of happiness that comes with Spirit.
"Thank you Princess." Dimitri said.
"It's no problem Guardian Belikov. And for the millionth time, call me Lissa. I mean it's not like you call Rose Rosemaire or Ms. Hathaway or whatever. Just call me Lissa."
"Well he calls me Rose because he knows I'll punch him if he calls me Rosemarie or Ms. Hathaway." I said and Lissa rolled her eyes. Adrian decided to speak up then, "What should I call you Little Dhampir?"
"You can call me...nothing. How bout you just never talk to me again and then you won't have to call me anything." I said jokingly. Adrian really was my friend, but I loved to make fun of him and stuff.
"That hurts." Adrian said sarcastically.
"It was meant to."
"Oh you know you love me." Adrian said.
"Yeah, in your dreams."
"Ok." He said. Oh, yeah. Adrian can walk dreams. Damn, that comeback failed.
"Ew. Never mind, not in your dreams. Or anywhere. I don't love you."
"You know you do."
"Go away."
My mother then walked over and angrily said "Rose, what the hell happened back there? You kneed me in the freaking stomach!"
"Dimitri's the best Guardian this school has I wasn't gonna let him die!"
"Well you shouldn't have risked your life!"
"Well I'm fine and so is Dimitri. No ones hurt, so get over it!" My mother just shook her head at me and walked away.
Well. Isn't this fun. I thought sarcastically.
I know, weird ending lol. I'll update tomorrow if I get enough reviews.
