One-shot No.2:
CHARACTERS: Roza and Dimka :D
WORLD: Ours. The house where our beloved characters lives :)
There was a memory burned deep inside Rose's mind. She didn't have the courage to face it, and she couldn't shake it off. It just sat there, burning deeper as days went by. It became a ghost that haunted her dreams, a veil wrapped around her mind that closed in every single day until it choked her and made her feel as if she couldn't go on. She woke up alone in the dark of the night, screaming and crying at the top of her lungs as the memory took over.
Tonight, after such a long time, it came back. She was running and tripping in the dark. Her eyes widen in terror as she felt the breath of a beast,
"C..o..m..e...B..a..c..k...T..o...Me...D..o..n't.. .Y..o..u.. L..o..v..e...P..a..p..a..?"
A thought came to her blurred mind, "Had you loved me, you wouldn'have raped me"
And she ran faster. Pain shot through the small spot between her legs with each step she took, her vision blurred. Everything but the thought of running away from the hell hole she used to call home slipped off her mind and she felt like a robot. She ran and ran until strenght left her and she collapsed. She felt the hot breath again. A horrifying scream escaped her lips and she fell into the darkness.
Rose abruptly sat up. She bit her lip to stop the scream from escaping her dream. Chills ran down her spine and her tears fell.
"Roza, are you ok?", came a voice.
She was startled, then she remembered. Her guardian angel Dimitri was here tonight. She sighed in relief and lay down in his embrace.
"Are your nightmares always that bad?", he asked.
"Yeah, they used to be bad because I always had to wake up all alone. But it doesn't matter now. You are here now. You're gonna keep me safe, right?", she looked in to his brown eyes expectantly.
"Of course, isn't that what an angel supposed to do?", he smiled. "But do you want to tell me about it? You may feel more relieved".
"Nah, it's not such a big deal", she gave him a peck on the lips. "Go back to sleep, but hold me like this, k? I like your warmth. It feels safe".
She heard his low chuckle that she loved so much. And just before she closed her eyes, she made a silent promise to herself, "Tonight, I, Rose Hathaway, promise to never, ever keep a secret from Dimitri Belikov. Just give me a little more time then I'll definetely open my heart as wide as possible for you to step in".
And with that, she fell back to a peaceful dreamless sleep, a smile still on her lips.
