Prologue

I felt like I was on those nightmares that Lissa used to have while we were running away from St. Vladimir Academy. But my own were quite darker, like the fact Im shadow-kissed made my worse nightmares the worst.

I was running in a forest. I could recognize the Academys trees, they were so familiar, even though I hadnt been there for a while. Lissa was behind me, her legs wasnt so strong, and she screamed my name, telling me to come back. Somehow, the midnight darkness grew as my legs pushed further on the direction I was headed to. I wasnt sure where I was going and the blankness didnt suit me well.

Suddenly, the wards came down and all those ghosts I saw at the airport and in the plane were flying, just above my head, shouting, screaming so loud that I had to put my hands on my ears, trying desperately to make them go away.

"Its all your fault!", I heard them say.

The tears left my eyes without my notice and the ache on my chest increased. I was so drowned in my pain that I could almost ignore the nauseating feeling surging on my stomach. Too bad I couldnt really ignore.

Almost on a frenzy, my feet stopped without my consent. I couldnt hear Lissa anymore. The ghosts simply watched, silently, and the nausea was difficult enough to ignore. The wind felt chilly on my bare arms. Less than half a mile away, a tall figure mixed trough the trees. At that distance, with all darkness, I couldnt recognize the person, but the red on its eyes surely made one statement.

Strigoi.

My reflexes and muscles grew ready for a fight. I breathed in and out and waited for the approach. I noticed that my heartache was as strong as my nausea. The monster slowly walked, almost afraid to be near me. I would kick his ass. The hell I would.

A voice in my head ordered me, Run, Rose! Run!, and a realized the voice wasnt mine, but Lissas. She was more than a mile away, inside the wards. Through the bond, I felt her anger, fear, sadness and helplessness. I hated myself to cause her so much pain, but eventually she would figure I was at a point of no return.

My chest burnt even more and the nausea increased. The moon chose that moment to free from the clouds. The pale light reached the forest and the Strigoi was near enough. My heart stopped. I couldnt breathe. I couldnt see, my tears blurred my vision. Now we were only two feet away.

Than a foot.

I saw the beautiful face, blank with its nature, so pale that mistook with bad made make up. I saw the hair, brown, but not so dark as mine. The body, the tallness, the straight line he made with his lips. And the eyes, so mysterious as the last time, with a reddish ring around the pupil.

Dimitri.

"Rose."

The voice and the smell were the same.

"Rose."

I couldnt bare more pain.

"Rose."

I remembered when we were caught, at the plane, with Kirova, with Lissa, the hand on my hair, the kisses, the confessions, the heartbreak, the loneliness, the helplessness, the night at the cabin, the way we made love, the eyes before he entered the cave, the Strigoi killing him.

"Roza."

Killing him.

"I love you."

And my world fell apart.
