RPOV

I just read a fanfic that rewrote the conversation Rose and Dimitri have when he's in jail and I just had to do the same thing. This is a more dramatic version; tell me if I should make it a story or just a one-shot. :)

I DON'T OWN VAMPIRE ACADEMY! RICHELLE MEAD DOES!

I had my stake in its holster on my hip as I went to go see Dimitri. He was still in jail, and even though he said he didn't want to see me I was able to convince his guardians to let me see him.

He was sitting in the corner of his cell facing the wall. I went up to the bars and said.

"Hi Dimitri,"
he didn't turn around when he said.

"Go away Rose, I don't want to see you."
His words cut across my chest, if he had been looking at me he would have been able to see the agony that was there.

"Say that to my face,"
Dimitri slowly turned around, looked me in the eyes and said.

"I don't love you, go away."
That was when my world collapsed. Ever since Lissa had staked Dimitri I had been able to see a light that hadn't been there before. Dimitri had been the light and now when he didn't want me the light had turned into a depressing black void. There was no reason to be anymore.

I used a shaky hand to pull my stake out of its holster. I raised the pointed end in front of my chest and looked Dimitri straight in the eyes. He ran straight up to the bars and said.

"Rose! Put that away!"
I made no move to move the stake. Dimitri tried to reach through the bars and grab the stake from me but he was just out of reach. He yelled for his guards.

For once the guardians weren't fast enough. I plunged the stake into my chest, the blood soaked my shirt and it felt like my chest had been ripped open. I felt lightheaded and knew it was only matter of time before I passed out and then died.

I reached through the bars; I was desperately trying to pull the stake away from her. When I realized that I couldn't reach the stake I screamed for my guards. If I couldn't stop Rose inside this cell they could stop her from outside of it.

My guards didn't come fast enough. The stake plunged into Roza's chest; I screamed and pointlessly tried to reach Rose again. I thought my heart was stopping as Rose's eyes rolled into the back of her head and her body started to lean towards the ground. I reached both of my arms through the cell bars and caught Rose's body. I tried to pull her as close to me as the bars would allow. I could hear her crimson blood splatting against the cold jail floor.

My guards ran into the hallway and before I knew it they had taken Roza out of my arms. I stood up and yelled at them.

"Give her back to me! Where are you taking her?"
One of the guardians stayed behind and said.

"We're taking her to the hospital,"
"Will she be okay?"
"We don't know, that stake might have hit her heart."
He dropped his voice down to a whisper when he said.

"How did you get that stake?"
Rage filled me at his assumption. He thought I had staked Roza! I grabbed the bars and struggled to keep my voice level as I said.

"I didn't stake Roza! I love her!"
"Then what happened?"
"She came here to talk to me . . . she . . . staked herself."
His eyes widened in shook, he said.

"I'll have to watch the video surveillance tapes to make sure you aren't lying."
"I did not hurt my Roza!"

I fell against the cage wall and let my sadness show. Tears fell down my face and splattered against the cold jail floor. When I looked down at the small droplets of water forming I noticed that Roza's blood was still there. I dipped my finger in it and just stared at it. This was Rose's blood. She had hurt herself because of my words. Words that should never have left my mouth.
