A/N: this preface is only up so that you can get the general idea of the alternate Shadow Kiss events, instead of having to imagine what actually happened to Rose. It's pretty similar to the real storyline, but I thought this would help.

Disclaimer - I do not own Vampire Academy, Angel or any of their characters! But will someone please give me Dimitri! :P


-Prologue-

We fought our way through the wall of Strigoi. I must have staked half a dozen or so by the time we got through. I ran in the front, ready to attack any Strigoi that jumped out at us.

We made it to the end of the tunnel and I turned around. I saw Rose catching up, Ms. Carmack supported by her shoulder. I smiled at her and she gave me a weak one back, which made my smile grow further, almost becoming a laugh. But I stopped when I looked behind Rose and saw more Strigoi.

One grabbed Rose by the back of the neck, jerking her backwards. Ms. Carmack went forwards and one of the others caught her.

"ROZA!"

Rose struggled with the Strigoi for moment but it was useless, even I wouldn't have stood a chance after being caught by surprise. I ran forward, too far away but trying anyway. I was so close, but couldn't make it, someone was holding me back. Stan.

"Rose!" I flung around, pushing Stan away, far enough that he wouldn't grab me again. "Get off her! Rose!"

The Strigoi bit down into her neck, I heard a scream identical to the one she had used that night I caught her and watched her give blood to Lissa, so long ago.

I watched Rose's face go from excruciating pain to pure bliss and then, as a few of the other guardians wrestled me to the ground, I watched the Strigoi sling Rose over his shoulder and run off. Giving me one last look at his bright blue eyes and blonde hair. But I was helpless, six guardians lay on top of me, thinking they knew what was best. How wrong they were. Rose was being taken away by a Strigoi and everyone was stopping me from saving her.

My Roza…


Hope it's ok.. Review if you want me to post more!
