Hey Author here, this is my first Fanfiction and I am not so sure it is good, but everyone who has read my OWN stuff (cuz i've written my own 123pg story) says I'm good. I hope you guys like it! Feel free to leave comments and reviews :] thanks.
I set off to kill the man I loved. I didn't know where to go at first, but after thinking about it I decided to go to Spokane. While in Spokane I looked around everywhere. There were definitely signs of Strigoi in the tunnels that Mason, Mia, and Eddie had found. Thinking about Mason made me sad, but I was happy that he had moved on to a better place. I wished Dimitri could do the same. It hurt to think about Dimitri, I knew I truly didn't want him to go to a better place because I didn't want him to die at all I felt selfish, but now that he was Strigoi it was my secret promise to him that I would kill him so he would not have to live his worst nightmare.
"Oh, my love, you have come to see me haven't you?" I heard a voice behind me ring through the tunnels that I had been wondering aimlessly through for two days. I froze and spun to face the voice that was all too familiar.
"Dimitri," I whispered.
He froze for seconds and I thought I saw a flash of compassion on my face before it vanished and became rage, "You have come here to kill me, have you not?" he asked, a slight Russian accent.
I opened my mouth, but now words came out. My vision was blurring and as I put one hand to my cheek to wipe my flowing tears I held my stake in the other. My tears had slowed so I opened my mouth again, "Dimitri, I made you a promise when you were dhampir. I made you a promise that said I would kill you if you turned Strigoi." My voice shook from passion and feeling and I tried to hide it.
"But my love I am no longer Strigoi, I have no desire to die either," he said moving out of the shadows. There was a smirk on his face and his eyes glittered with the color.
'Color,' I thought, 'His eyes have color?' That didn't make sense if he was Strigoi then he would have red eyes and, wait, he said that he was no longer Strigoi. I gasped, "Why haven't you come home then?" I asked.
He walked closer to me, "I have been afraid that no one would accept me, I am not the same as I once was. I know terrible, horrible things that you nor any other moroi, dhampir, or human could understand. I've felt pain beyond feeling," he whispered and there was a surprising amount of emotion in his voice. I walked closer.
"Dimitri, what happened?" I asked standing nearly ten feet from him.
He laughed with no amusement, "As you know, my worst nightmare was turning Strigoi. Even when I was Strigoi I felt that I was living my nightmares. I felt alone and I had a blood lust that consumed me and I had hatred. Lots and lots of hatred," he looked away from me silent tears rolling down his face.
My tears had returned, "Dimitri, what happened?" I repeated walking closer. We were now five feet apart.
"I talked to other Strigoi, no one felt the same as I did. They all laughed and told me that I could commit suicide, if I wanted," he grimaced and took a step away from me.
Hurt rushed over me, he was walking away from me, "Don't" I whispered, pleading.
He hesitated, "Let me finish, I committed suicide by going to the St. Vladimir's Academy and standing at the border until someone saw me," his voice shook, but he continued. "Valilisa saw me first, she cried out to Christian and Eddie who were with her. Christian and Eddie froze, shocked and then rushed over to me. Christian burned me," he shook and no more words came out.
I walked towards him and he retreated more, trying to get a hold of himself, "Rose, let me finish," he warned sounding like his old self, I paused hearing that voice made me feel emotion that I hadn't felt since I had seen Blondie sink his teeth into Dimitri.
Dimitri continued with his story, "Pain spread through me at this distracting me from Eddie, Eddie," he said and began to shake. I knew what was coming and couldn't help it as I let out a sob. Dimitri continued, "Eddie took his stake and drove it through my heart, it burned and stung with unimaginable pain and then everything went black."
"Dimitri," I cried and ran towards him, I didn't care about his story anymore. I saw the pain in his face and the heard the shaking in his voice, "Dimitri, I'm so sorry," I sobbed as I reached him and wrapped my arms around his neck and let tears fall onto the shoulder of his dark grey shirt.
He hesitantly put his arms around me, holding me close. After awhile he chuckled softly, "Rose, I told you to let me finish my story."
I grinned, "You can finish now, if you'd like," I said.
He shook his head exasperated and held me tighter, "I will," he said and continued, "I am guessing it had been only minutes when I had awaken from death because I was still in the same spot I had been, but there were no scars on my body. My Molnija marks are the only ones that remain," he added.
I put my hand on the back of his neck where the Molnija marks would be and let him continue, "I got up and ran, I didn't know what had happened or where I was going, but I knew I couldn't stay there. It was too dangerous. I figured I should go to Spokane so I hitch-hiked here and spent three hours looking for something, not knowing what. That is until I found you," he finished and kissed me making me go on tiptoes as he quickly pulled back.
"Dimitri," I whispered and grabbed his hand, "It's time to go back to the Academy for good."
Dimitri frowned, "Rose you accept me, but no one else does. No one else will care, you've seen what they do to Christian and that's only because of his family. Rose I was a strigoi and I am not sure how I am a dhampir again. I, I don't think they will let me back in," he whispered and silent tears fled down his cheek.
"Of course they will," I said my temper flaring, "You're a miracle and we will make them believe that."
He grinned widely, "I see you're still stubborn," he remarked.
"You've only been gone a few days," I said simply, truly it had been only a few days, although it felt like years.
"Very true, my Roza," he said then kissed me softly. We let the kiss build until it was passionate, very passionate. Grinning I leaned back first.
He frowned and leaned forward for more, "No," I said still grinning, "Look where we are."
He glanced around the tunnels and frowned deeper, clearly thinking what I was, that this was no place to bring up feeling that could lead to sex. We were in tunnels.
He grabbed my hand and smiled, I got a warm sensation throughout my whole body and felt an unexplainable love for Dimitri as he whisked me out of the tunnels and back up to ground levels.
