Introduction

It's been three weeks since Dimitri last spoke to Rose. They were in church and he said… something that had caused a lot of pain, he knew. And, regretting a little what he'd said, he kept on going. Being incredibly stupid, thinking Rose would just keep on trying to work their relationship out. He was wrong.

Now, when they see each other (thanks to Lissa), Rose would give him a broken smile, with her eyes glued to the floor, and then keep walking. Somehow that hurt more than anything.

When they'd stumble upon each other alone, her eyes would open wide, and then she'd start walking – running - in the opposite direction.

Dimitri found out that Adrian and Rose had finished their relationship, and he didn't know whether to feel good of bad about that. He had heard Lissa saying that they'd both agreed to this, that it was for the best. They were still friends, though. He would spot them together sometimes, hugging, talking, laughing. He started getting frustrated. Without even knowing why.

Then one day, Dimitri spotted Rose walking in the woods that surrounded court. He followed her, wanting to talk to her, or apologize. He didn't know.

Rose was fast, and for moments Dimitri would lose sight of her. He's sped up and catch up with her, but he couldn't quite reach her. The woods ended, and suddenly he found himself in a green field. Rose was inclined in front of a hole.

She fell.

Alice in Wonderland style.

Dimitri – astonished – screamed her name and started running towards the hole. Then he was blinded by a bright, white light. And then he was falling. And falling.

He fainted and didn't woke up for who knows how long. When he opened his eyes he was in the middle of a street he didn't recognize. He got up and looked around, trying to find out where he was.

"Dimitri!" He heard someone yell. Turning he saw Janine Hathaway. "I don't pay you to leave Rose on her own." She continued to yell.

What? Dimitri thought.

"C'mon" Since he didn't know what to do he followed her. After a few minutes they reached a white house and Janine motioned him towards the door.

"Well, I have to go now," She said. "Rose is taking her nap. There's food on the fridge and Abe might call in about an hour. I'll be back in approximately six hours and then you can leave." She paused. "Thank you for doing this for us. I know I've told you how grateful we are but I still want you to know that." She finished.

"Okay" He said, having no idea what she was talking about.

"Bye, take care of Rose" She said getting into a red Altima. Dimitri waved at her until the car disappeared from his vision. Then he walked into the house, frowning and with his mouth open, and looked around. There was a living room, a kitchen to his left, a dining room to his right, and a staircase in front of him. He walked towards the living room.

Spread in the couch was a small figure covered with blankets. He moved towards it quietly and carefully. Swallowing he moved the blankets.

In there he saw a little girl, – no older than 6 years – curled into a little ball, asleep. She had long, curly, brown hair; tanned skin. She was wearing small jeans and a T-shirt. Then he looked at her face with fear, already knowing what he might find.

The girl was Rose Hathaway.

About 10 years younger than when they had met.
