A/N: Thank you for the reviews everyone. I decided that Sunset will no longer be a one-shot. It will be a series of one-shots. So watch out for that!

And, watch out for another story, the title explains it all: The Strigoi Life: Dimitri's Story. I know! It's so good! This will be a tougher challenge for me as a writer here in FanFiction because as you Vampire Academy fans know that our precious Dimka is no longer him. So this will be really hard, and I will try to live up to you're expectations.

Hope you like this one.

Chapter Three: Farewell To Me

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Sydney asked me for the millionth time this minute.

"Yes. No will you stop talking and get out."

"Then I'll come back after fifteen minutes, right?" Sydney asked me heading towards the door, I nodded my head, and walked towards the bed. Where Dimitri was transferred just an hour ago. I sat down at the corner of the bed, touching Dimitri's silky hair. I touched the stake, feeling it's coldness.

It was time. I didn't hesitate. I didn't even think. I just moved.

The stake was out of his heart. It was now in my heart.

It hurts. Oh, it hurts. I felt the life slipping out of my body. And it was fast. I tried hard to hold Dimitri and I succeeded, I grabbed his face and kissed him in the lips. It was warm now, and I knew that his life that was stolen was being brought back from the dead again. I didn't actually know what was happening through our bodies. But I didn't want to think about that know. He was alive now. The color on his cheeks were back and so was his tanned skin.

I was happy now. Even at the last breath that I took, I felt myself smile. Then I dropped dead at his arms. His warm arms.

Farewell to me. I thought. Dying at an early age, was out of my list. But hey, at least I died in his lively arms. In my Dimitri's arms.


I didn't know where I was. The place felt cold and lonely. I felt it, but I couldn't see it. It was like I was in a very dark room. Nothing to see and nothing to hear. Then my senses begin to be awake. My eyes fluttered open.

Like I said, it was cold and dead, but it was not dark. Not dark at all. I was in a meadow, the trees were tall, there were flowers in every kind. The grasses were soft and wet. Like I was on the forest.

The forest. Dimitri. Everything came back to me in a flash, and I realized that maybe I was in Heaven. But I began to doubt it. If this was Heaven then why was it cold and dark? Some of my teachers in Religion said that Heaven was a happy place. That you could finally rest in peace after all you had done in you're life.

"If this wasn't Heaven, then where am I?"

"You're in you're soul Rose." A voice said, that was so familiar.

I actually didn't know that I spoke my thoughts aloud. But I couldn't care. He was standing there. Happily and Lively. Mason. I didn't know what to think. I didn't even know how to feel.

He seemed more alive than last that I saw him. He was still pale though.

"Mason!" I shrieked. I ran towards him and hugged him. But when my fingertips brushed his skin. It was cold, so cold. Even more cold than the Strigoi's. I stepped back quickly. He returned it with his cocky smirk, that I love so much.

I was so glad to see him. "What are you doing here?" I asked him, trying to overcome the after shock of his skin that was so cold.

"I'm here. Because I'm here." Was his simple answer. I looked at him skeptically. I was confused, and I didn't like being confused.

"Can you please answer the question." I said. My self control slipping away. I didn't know why I was this angry or even upset, but I didn't care.

"Like I said: I'm here. Because I'm here."

"Ugh! What are you going to do then? Bake me some brownies, because I'm hungry?" I asked him angrily. Actually I was hungry, and I was craving for brownies with icings on top of it. Umm. Delicious!

"Well, if you want me to." He told me. Then magically, a box of hot and warm brownies were at his side. I stared, wide in shock.

He sighed, and walked back and forth.

"Where was I before you spoke?" He asked himself rather than me. Then his head jerked up and he clapped his hands.

"Ah. Right, you're in you're soul Rose. When you killed yourself you're Shadow Kiss powers brought you here. In you're soul." He said while walking again and playing in a nearby pond. I opened my mouth to respond in a cocky manner. But he was faster.

"Dimitri is alive now. But you're technically not. You're trapped. You need to know first on how to become a Shadow Guardian." He said while playing with the waters.

What in the world did he just said? My inner voice asked my throbbing head. And did he just said my Shadow Kiss powers brought me here? Powers are it, It was not a she or a he.

"You're powers are alive Rose. They control you're actions. Know every move you make. And even every single thought." He said. It was like he was reading me mind. Well, wasn't he?

"Actually, I can." He said. Now I was totally confused. My head was throbbing more hardly now. Because first, he was giving me questions that I already know. And second, I was hungry. And the smell of the brownies were filling my nostrils.

He laughed. And then again, by magic. There was now a chair and a table, just right next to the brownies. He pointed at it. "Go eat. I'll tell you everything when you're ready." I didn't reply. I just sat at the chair and began eating.

Uhm...It was delicious. I looked at the pond again, and realized that Mason was gone. I turned to look at my surroundings, trying to find Mason.

It was an endless meadow. It was still cold and lonely, and I was starting to wonder if this was really my soul.

Because this coldness and loneliness, were always present in my life. Back when I was alive.
