"Dimitri, Comrade" I choke on tears

I slap him but he doesn't wake up. I scream and tears stream down his face. I kiss him.

"DIMITRI" I cry when I pull back "I know your awake!" I say desperately

I try CPR both ways. My eyes are wide and my face is puffy. I collapse on his chest. My tears soak his shirt. I cry myself to sleep.

I wake up in the same spot. I wearily get up to find he is gone. I frantically search for him until I see him sitting under the tree. I let my hair out of its ponytail. It looks really wavy and shiny. I take off my jacket and go over to him.

"Dimitri?"

"Roza what you did was stupid…..but brave"

"Um do you know what happened when you were 'dead'?" I ask

He sighs "Yeah"

"I'm sorry it was inappropriate of me to do that!"

He smiles softly and I sit next to him. "Rose"

"Yeah comrade?"

He kisses me. We stay sitting under that tree kissing until we have to go. We walk until we reach the wards. I enter and I am greeted with angry looks.

"WHAT WAS THAT ROSEMARIE HATHAWAY!?" My mother screams

I wince "I was saving one of our best guardians" I retort "One of the princess's guardians" I snap

She sighs "Rose get out of here"

I nod my head and go to my room. There is no point in arguing I set up my laptop and listen to music. The laptop pings and I find a message.

Oh dearest Rose we will be back!

I gasp and do some sleuthing. I hack onto the email and check the sent ones. I find out the persons name is Alex Ross. He is a moroi and he has a girlfriend called Manya Belikova. I fall asleep on the computer and when I wake up I see that I'm in my bed. I look up and see no-one. I then go into the bathroom and on the shower is a note from Dimitri.

Dear my Roza

I found you asleep on your computer! I was surprised you weren't listening to Shakira . I put you in your bed. Training is cancelled!

XOXO

Dimitri

I smile and head to the gym. I run on the treadmill and then go to the weights. When I've finished I spot Dimitri watching smiling and shaking his head.

"I told you training was over"

I walk up to him and wrap my arms around his neck "Guardians don't get breaks"

He frowns "You're a novice"

I wince "I know but I have killed and I don't want to get in the habit of slacking"

He laughs "Then participate in class"

I pout "Fine I will"

I hear the door open so I let go of him and punch his face. He gets what I'm onto and we start to spar. I feel immediately guilty when I punch his nose and it bleeds.

"Hey Dimitri who is Manya Belikova?!" I ask

He sighs "She was my twin sister who got married and left. She died"

"She isn't dead" I mutter "She has a boyfriend called Alex Ross a morio. They live in America about two hours away from here. They are Ms Karps friends. They want revenge because I killed her."

He stops "They what?!"

I finally turn to see who opened the door and it is Alberta looking frantic.

"Rose the Dragomire princess is in hospital"
