LPOV:
I watched with anxiousness as I dispatched Mikhail and Janine to find Dimitri. I knew he was most likely dead, but I had to make sure. And besides, Rose wanted a proper burial for Dimitri. It saddened me that she was so depressed and was constantly crying, but I had to stay strong for her. I sat in my office, deep in thought, when I was startled by the static coming from my ear piece.
"Queen Vasilisa, we have a lead," Mikhail reported dutifully through the communication set.
"What is it?" I asked, sitting up excitedly. I calmed myself down quickly. It wasn't practical to get my hopes up that he was possibly alive. Gale had said himself that Dimitri had been crushed under a wall of debris.
"We've found blood, and it's been clarified that it is indeed Guardian Belikov's. We're searching for him under the rocks," he explained. I could hear Janine and him rolling boulders out of the way. I bit my bottom lip nervously.
"Be careful," I said before clicking the set off and watching their progress through security cameras which were hidden by the woods. After half an hour with no further progress, I stood up and sighed. I shut down all of my monitors and dusted my pencil skirt off and walked into the conference room.
"Hey," Rose whispered unenthusiastically. She had been sitting here, in my makeshift office at St. Vladimir's, since the news about Dimitri. I took her hands in mine and I sighed before telling her the update.
"They have a lead," I started. Rose looked up but didn't show any emotion. I took it as a sign to continue. "They found his blood, but they're still looking for him," I murmured sympathetically. I could feel her utter helplessness and her defeat coursing through the bond. I pulled her into a hug and was about to offer to get her some food when the speaker crackled above our heads.
"All medical teams please assemble with emergency equipment by the entrance. Code Violet is now in full running. Turn off all Amber Alerts. Our missing man has been found," the announcer said before switching the speakers off. I gasped and jumped up in disbelief.
"Has Dimitri been found? What's Code Violet? Is he okay?" Rose rambled, also jumping up.
"Code Violet means that he's alive," I choked out, tears streaming down my face.
RPOV:
I fought hard to keep myself composed. I wanted to break down and sob in relief, but I didn't have time for that. Lissa and I both ran to the front entrance, where we arrived just in time to see Dimitri being wheeled in by a wheelchair. He looked exhausted and grimy, but I didn't see any injuries except for a couple of gashes and cuts. I crumpled to the floor, weeping tears of joy. I heard Dimitri stand up and walk over to me, despite the protests of the doctors.
"I'm so sorry Roza. I'm here now," he whispered, pulling me up so that he could hug me. I sobbed into his shoulder and pummeled his chest with my fists, taking out the hours of emotions I had endured on him.
"I thought you were dead," I cried loudly and hysterically. "You bastard," I said, crying even louder. I stopped beating at his chest and instead, wrapped my arms around his strong neck. He held me silently as I continued to empty my tear ducts in the crook of his neck. I finally pulled my head away and kissed him softly, tears still running down my face.
"I promised you that I would come back and I never break promises," he murmured and stroked my face. "Is Alena here?" he asked, a worried look crossing his chiseled features.
"I didn't tell her," I responded guiltily, hiding my face in his chest once again. God, it felt good to be in his arms. He nodded in understanding and buried his face in my hair. After a couple minutes of silence, Lissa pulled us apart.
"The doctors are waiting," she said, a little sheepishly. She gave Dimitri a quick hug and supervised as the medical team lay him out on a stretcher. "Go with him, I'll give you two some privacy," she said smiling. I gave her a grateful look and climbed into the ambulance with the love of my life.
I held his hand on the way to the hospital, challenging anyone to dare make me let go of him. Once we got there, they wheeled him into a room and hooked him up to an IV to push fluids. They gave him a thorough once-over and cleared him of any serious conditions. After he was cleaned up, they dressed his wounds and I sat next to his bed dutifully as he scarfed down some food.
"I missed you," I said quietly after they took his tray away. He gave me a sad smile.
"I missed you too maya Roza," he whispered and stroked the back of my hand. "I love you," he murmured as I carefully climbed into his huge hospital bed with him.
"I love you too," I said as I snuggled into his side contently. "You worried me so much," I said, breathing in his comforting smell. He grimaced.
"I'm so sorry," he mumbled and rested his chin on my head. "I wish I could have come home sooner."
"It's not your fault," I said. "But now you'll have to stay with me every second for the rest of the trip," I murmured, only half-joking. He laughed and I rejoiced in feeling the rumble of his chest once again.
"Of course milaya," he said warmly and kissed my cheek. "Let's get some rest," he suggested mid-yawn. I agreed and we fell asleep in each other's arms.
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, but I'm in quite a rush. I promise that I'll upload a good chapter soon. Review please or I won't be as merciful as I was this chapter *evil laugh* Just kidding lol you know I would never take Dimitri or Rose away. But please, review.
