One More Night

Dimitri's Point of View

I walk in from a long night of guarding. Lissa is the last royal Dragomir and so we have to be vigilant in our guarding. I cringe as I think of coming in. Roza is still angry. She is hurt, and I feel badly for it. I sigh, leaning against the door. I can't think of any way to make up to her for it. I'd thought of swapping charges, but Yeva told me I need to guard the Princess. I'm not sure why, but I listened.

I shake my head, and walk into the house.

"Roza?" I call out, seeing the messy apartment. I sigh, and look around. Soon, I come across the letter on the refrigerator.

Dear Dimitri,

Every night we argue, and every night I tell you 'one more night'. Tonight, that answer will not come. Protect Lissa for me. Tell her I love her & I'll explain to her more. To you I say this… love fades. Yours may, but mine never will. However, I love Lissa more. Therefore, I am protecting her. Forgive me, one day.

Rose

I shake my head, and feel tears stinging my eyes. No, I won't cry. I can't help but notice a frame on our wall, with shattered glass around it. Red around the edges. Ah, typical Roza. She was emotional and hit something.

I look around and sink to the floor. Roza is gone. I can't keep the mask up and before I know it, I'm out the door. Running with no purpose. No purpose but to get to the gym. Everyone wonders how I'm so calm, and how my façade is done so well. Anger, frustration, sadness, pity, any emotion I feel… gets taken out at the gym. My guardian skills will come first, if Roza won't.

I walk in and run to the center to find someone to spar with someone. It doesn't take long to get someone to agree. If only they knew that I wanted to kill someone right now. We start and at first I'm entirely on the defense, and as soon as I start thinking of Roza again…. I turn offensive. Joe dodges my hits, until I swipe my foot out under his legs and trip him. It brings back memories of the Strigoi fight.


I freeze, as I see a Strigoi step out from behind Roza. I can't breathe until she starts battling him, and at the moment I realize that the princess is no longer in between us. Panic fills my entire body as I turn in a complete circle and see her in a Strigoi's grip. His arm around her neck, and his eyes red as fire.

I step out and somehow sneak behind him. But he hears me at the last minute. He spins around, and I shake my head. Foolishness. I was foolish. They come first.


I reach out and hit Joe as hard as I can in the stomach. He falls to his knees, and I push him down.
"Dead," I proclaim as I step back. He tries to get up to restart but I'm walking out the door briskly. I can feel myself losing control as I remember all the fights.


"Dimitri, we can't do this!" She yells, and I grab her and push her against the wall. Pressing myself against her, and my lips against hers. The electricity I feel when I kiss her is very apparent.

"Do you feel what I feel?" I ask when I pull away.

"That's not-"

"Do you feel that?" I interrupt raising my voice.

"Yes, dammit. I love you, but we can't." She says, with a single tear falling.

"One more night." I tell her, knowing if she ever leaves it'll be death of me. She nods, and I sigh in relief.


I make it back to the apartment just in time to completely break down. Tears shed, and things thrown. But all I know is that I want one more night, and I'm never going to get it.
