Thanks For The Reviews, Guys! Means A Lot To Me!

Dimitri's POV.

I saw hands grabbing Rose by the shoulders. I knew what was happening but it was too far away, too fast for me to do anything about it. It was like watching a movie in slow motion. But for me, it was looped. Playing over and over inside my head.

I ran forward with my stake in my hand. Please let me get there in time! "Rose! Rose! Roooooossseee!" I started crying out desperately. Don't take her from me! I saw the red hair fall lightly on her shoulders as she was pulled into darkness, where I could not see her anymore.

I heard her cry out in pain. God knows what's happening. She could be getting killed. But worse, she could be turned.

"Belikov! Get out of here! Everyone's Out! Let's go!" Janine was giving directions left and right to get everyone out.

I know she saw it. I know she saw Rose getting pulled up. How could she not go after her own daughter? Red tinged my vision. She can't be gone! I have to save her! "Roza!" I felt hands on my arms pulling me back outside. I struggled, trying to getting her.

"No! What are you doing! We have to get Rose out of there!"

"Belikov!" The slap on my face was like cold water being dumped onto me.

I finally really took in my surroundings. We were outside, all the dhampirs and moroi were out. Everyone had grave looks on their faces, some were even crying.

I met Janine's eyes as she crumpled in front of me. Tears covered her cheeks and were spilling out of her eyes.

"Dimitri.. She's gone... She's gone."

Rose POV.

"What? Oh please. Enlighten me! How on Earth Are you going to get me to change my opinion on you. That's not possible. I've hated your kind since I was born. You're Monsters, you take pleasure in taking life away from innocent people! You really think I'm going to be with you forever? Working with you! I can't stand you, even at this moment!"

She chuckled with that smile plastered on her face. Ugh.

"You see dear Rosie, when someone is turned, they don't automatically turn into a 'monster'. They officially turn when they have their first kill as a strigoi, and that's what Gregory is for"

"Well then, sorry to rain on your parade Fireface." Her eye twitched. Gotcha. I Smirked, Glad I hit a soft spot. "But there's just one problem with this whole situation."

Her eyebrows shot up in amusement, "Oh?"

"Yup. I just Won't Kill him." Simple. I can't turn into a monster if I don't kill anybody.

She laughed out loud. It wasn't a cackling laugh I would expect coming from a witch in the movies, it actually came out as a very angelic laugh. Wait. What am I thinking! She's evil!

"Oh Rosie.. If only it was that simple."

"What do you mean?" My eyebrows came up in surprise.

"You'll Know When The Time Comes."

There was a long beep and The door opened. In came a man with jet black hair and eyes that were ringed red. Another strigoi. This is Ben? I assessed him up and down. He looked about 20 years old. Jet black hair that covered his eyes, giving him an 'emo' look. He also had lip piercings top off it off.

"Ashleigh, I've brought Gregory." He bowed his head ever so slightly at her. Is she royalty? No... just higher class than him. I didn't even know strigoi had clas-

My body jumped from the ground. My eyes were wide as I stared at the human in the doorway.

He only looked about 10 years old. He had strawberry-blonde hair and freckles that spread out all across his face. What's going on here? Why did I get up?

Ashleigh laughed from the corner of the room. "See what I mean? You're Strigoi now Rosie. You can't resist the young blood of a child."

My body took a step forward. No! Stop! He's A child!

Another step. The scent of blood filled my senses. I felt high of the scent of his innocent blood.

Wait! What am I thinking! I can't drink from him! I'll become a monster! Hes so young! He has a family to go home to!

My arm stretched out to reach for his neck. I could no longer think properly. All I thought about was how badly I wanted this boy's blood. My body ached for it. I want it. I'll have it.

My face stopped to his neck just before my fangs penetrated his skin. I could feel him quiver under my touch. I wonder if he knew he was going to die in vain. Dimitri.. My fangs sunk deep into the nape of his neck and suddenly my world was filled with blood.
