Dimitri POV

"There" they all yelled "there's the queen stop" thank god her maje - I mean Lissa is okay. Oh god where's Roza. They didn't say anything about Roza, whether she was with Lissa or back with the others.

Lissa was in the headlights waving her arms- something moved. A figure. I leapt from the car.

"Lissa!"

I screamed. The red eyes of the monster dug deep in my soul. I froze. It was like the world had slowed down. Other guardians rushed past me, barging my shoulder, knocking me back into existence. They all surrounded the foolish Strigoi, which clung to Lissa's shoulders, all in attack stance.

"You move, I bite" the Strigoi announced.

No I would dear move, they couldn't risk the life of Lissa. My thoughts were disturbed by a light in the corner of my eye. The sun. The sun was rising; it was peering round the edge of the closest mountain range onto the road we stood on. This Strigoi was done.

The Strigoi let out an ear piercing scream when the sun's rays hit his beer arms, burning his pale skin on contact. As the sun rose more he dropped Lissa throwing her on the ground and bolted back into the trees in which he had come out of. Guardians swarmed Lissa checking her head to toe for if she was hurt or not. But, I know it was super wrong, I searched for Roza hoping she was with Lissa. Panic ran through my body when I saw her, covered in blood, in guardian Johnston arms.

"Roza" I whispered

"She's weak but still alive, just" Johnston explained. He placed her gently in my arms and another Guardian handed him a bottle of water. When Lissa caught sight of rose in my arms she pushed her way out of the guardian mob around her to be by Rose's side.

"We have to get her help" Lissa said panicky. She swiftly looked around and repeated herself louder.

"We have to get her help, now!"

No one argued with her and everyone was loaded in to the black SUV's.

I swear the ride back was longer that the ride there. Roza was rested in my lap so I could cradle her. Lissa sat next to me trying to help me wake Roza up.

"Roza please wake up" I pleaded caressing her head and slightly shaking her.

"Rose you need to wake up." Lissa yelled. We shook her body slightly and called her name again and again, but nothing.

"Nothing's working" Lissa said in a shaky voice. Lissa lent forward to talk to the driver.

"Roza please wake up, we've been through so much together for you to die, please Roza" I whispered. I loved her too much to let her die, again at least, and I didn't care who says otherwise. I caressed her face and pulled her lips up to mine. Gently I pressed my lips against hers and kissed her softly. Her breathing had decreased as did her pulse.

"Lissa" I said softly.

"Lissa, You never call me that, why now?" Lissa asked

"Well Rose, she always wants me to call you Lissa" I replied. Lissa's eyes widened remembering Rose.

"How is she doing?" She asked.

"Not good" I replied holding back the tears, Lissa on the other hand did not try at all.

"Do you think that she could make it to the court?" Lissa hoped for one answer but I couldn't lie to her.

"I don't know Lissa" I said.

"Can you go any faster, please" Lissa begged the driver.

"I'm sorry your majesty but this is as fast as I can go, I'm truly sorry" the driver said sympathetically.

My eyes must have said it all because tears were staining Lissa's pale skin. She buried her face into my chest and began to weep. Everyone used to and still does, call me a god but I don't feel like a god. A god wouldn't; freeze at the sight of a Strigoi, something he once was and let the love of my life die in my arms again. Some god I am. Wrapping my arm around Lissa embracing her I said, hopefully not my final words, to Roza.

"Hold on Rose"
