Chapter 1

It has been 12 months since Rose went to Leigh and everything was great, she came home every few weeks or every week when possible. Today they were coming home for the summer I couldn't wait, I wanted to go and meet them but I had a shift and as Christian's guardian I had to go where he wanted and he was setting up a surprise for Lissa. As it was near the end of my shift when Lissa arrived I had arranged to meet Rose in the cafe for dinner, I was running late she would be there and no doubt not happy as she would be hungry. As I ran it took me past the side of the gym, just as I was about to pass I heard voices "you will hold still, we were told you had some fight in you" I stopped that didn't sound good and I knew that both Rose and I always did the right thing so I crept along the side to see what was happening "get your filthy hands off me" I froze my Roza "shut up" (thud) running round the corner I saw three moroi two holding her the other had the front of her top ripped and he was groping her breast and his other hand making its way up her skirt my Roza was unconscious. Something snapped inside me my blood boiled without a thought I had the first on the floor with one hit as the others tried to get away I threw them to the wall knocking them out also. I wanted to kill them for what they did but the rational part of me said I couldn't, I needed to see to my Roza. She was still unconscious on the floor as I ran over to her and cradled her in my lap draping my duster over her to keep her warm and modest "wake up my beauty I'm hear your safe, oh my Roza what have they done to you". I knew I needed help but I could not leave her or the perpetrators so I grabbed my phone and called the first person I knew could help though feeling guilty for disturbing them, on the first ring she answered "hi Dimitri I'm a bit busy at the moment could I call you back" I could hear Christian sigh in the back ground "Roza's been attacked" was all I could say "where are you, we are on our way" she said "round the back of the gym the attackers are out cold but Roza wont wake up". "We'll be there soon, bye" so there I sat holding her as close as I could murmuring to her in Russian. After about 10 minutes Lissa, Christian and other guardians came round the corner, when she saw Rose she froze "oh god what did they do to her" placing her hands over my Roza she began to heal her, the blood that was on the back of her head dried up and the bruising on her face and the scratches disappeared. I glanced over to where the guardians were haling the men to their feet where Christian was stood, he looked like he would light them up there and then we knew Rose was like a sister to him "put them in the jail, we will find out what exactly happened"he said there was a disgust in his voice. When Lissa had finished still keeping her rapped in my duster I stood up with her in my arms "you should take her to the clinic Dimitri just to get her checked out" she said "I would rather take her back to our apartment, could you get the doctor to check her out there" I said, she nodded and I walked off.
