DPOV...

Roza, growled out, " who the hell are you" then the evil spirit in roza's body turned and looked at me and said, " don't you know who I am Dimka"
It couldn't be, she was death, I was sure of it, wasn't she? As memories of the past flooded my mind. Pain, suffering, longing, dispair. I felt like a tidal wave of emotions went thru my body as I kept a mask of indifference on my face, but I was only able to whisper out, " Lilly"...
She smiled a sad smile at me for just a second, then her black eyes turned cold again. With out my permission, my feet took the steps to get closer to the both of them. "ROSE, back away from her" I said in a cold and raised voice. I felt a pang of hurt flash thru me for just a second then it was gone as quickly as it came.

I watched as rose's spirit backed away from her body that Lilly was in. "Rose, release the shield around me, as well as her binds now." I demanded.
She did as I commanded without question. I walked closer and sat on the bed near Lilly. I reached one hand out and touched her cheek. At first she backed away from my touch,
growling out, " Don't touch me, Dimitri, you betrayed me. You said you would always love me, but you lied. Father told me you only wanted me out of the way..."

" Lilly, your father, victor lied to you. I watched them kill you." I said pleading with her to believe me... I was about to say more when she spoke saying.

"Is that what you think " she asked in a cold voice. " They didn't kill me, they turned me." she stated... " But I saw them kill you, It can't be" I said confused..

" No, I'm very much alive, but your slayer won't be for much longer. Her spirit will move on soon, and I want to sit there and watch you suffer, for what you did to my father.'
she spat out at me.

" Lilly please don't do this, I loved you so much, I,... I still do." I said with emotion. Her eyes widen and her spirit left rose's body. Rose, thinking her name was like cold water splashed on my face. what have I done. The way I spoke to her, so harsh and cold but she never said a word. I turned to face the group behind me and there her spirit floated in front of the group. Her face was void of all emotions, but thru the connection I felt her hurt and understanding...

What ? Understanding, the pain I understood, I just said that I love another woman but understanding, is not something I expected. Anger yes, but not understanding.
Also I know she misinterputed what i told Lilly, yes I love her but not the same kind of love I felt for Roza.

I looked into her eyes and for a fleeting second all the love and pain she felt was shone, then it was gone as she once again had an emontionless face as she looked at me... "Roza" her name leaving my lips like a prayer.

She dropped the shield and disappeared, without saying a word...

RPOV...

I should have known what was gonna happen, the moment he said her name, the feelings that came thru the bond or whatever this was... was so consuming I felt almost like being crushed. He has never spoken to me so cold, so harshly, and to top it all off, I know it seems stupid but he never called me Rose.
He always called me Roza. If I'm honest I think that hurt more than anything. But I didn't want him to suffer or hurt because of it.

He loved her, and still does. I couldn't help but feel understanding. If he wanted to be with her, I would let him. I love him enough to let him be happy.
To let him go. I tryed to keep an emotionless face on, covering the pain and hurt I was feeling, but when he said my name, It was unbareable to keep up the facade.
So I vanished from there sight and floated to the back patio, and watched the sun set... I just wanted to be alone, I didn't want to deal with any one or anything.

Moments later Pavel came out side with a beer in one hand. Dam I wish I could drink one right about now. He sat down on a chair closest to me.
He couldn't see me, But Pavel always knew where I was when the rest of the team never did. We both stayed quiet not saying a word.

When suddenly Pavel spoke, " You know boss, you shouldn't give up so easily, yes he loves her, but its a different kind of love. Its the same kind of love I have for you Rosalina." he said as he took another gulp of the beer and got up and walked back into the house.

I was shocked to say the least, but I remained silent. Yes both Pavel and I loved each other alot but, it was a different type of love. There was absolutly nothing we would not do for each other. He would go as far as give his life for me and I would do the same. We understood each other.
I loved him like the brother I never had. He was the brother of my heart. I was the sister of his heart.

Could what he said be true. Is that really how Dimitri felt about lilly. I was still uncertain, but time would give me the answers I needed and desperately wanted to know.
In the mean time I would bide my time and allow him to make his choice, but I would not push him for the answer. But the fact remained Lilly wanted me dead,
And if we failed she would suceed. Drama always seemed to find me, why was my life always a downward spiral of tragic events...

What felt like only minutes later but was surely hours later I floated back inside. Most of my team was still posted at different location thru out the house,
only Gavin, and Pavel where sitting near lissa and yeva. there where looking thru some type of ancient book of spells and charms...
ocasionaly Lissa would look up toward christain, who was in the kitchen on the phone. Stan was here... he was barking out orders to some huge mean looking vamps,
about how if anything happened to dimitri or my body they would never live to see day again.

All in all I counted about 35 people in my house, most of which where vamps... I searched the faces of everyone but Dimitri was not among them.

I floated to the bedroom and saw my body lying there. but the room was empty. I realized the shower was running in the bathroom that connected to my room.

I could hear a sound like someone was heaving and sobbing very quietly. I floated to the bathroom and saw a naked dimitri, standing under the spray of the shower,
his back to me ,as both of his hands where placed on the shower wall for support and his head hung low between his shaking shoulders... My heart wrenched inside me.
He was in pain. This beatiful Godlike man was in pain, I floated closer and into the shower behind him. Allowing myself to be seen I reached my hands slowly and gently placed them on his shoulder blades. He whispered my name "Roza" like I was his savior, turning and reaching out and wrapping me in his arms...

I in returned held him close to me as possible, saying " Shhh, shhh its ok my love, i'm here as long as you need and want me "

" I always want and need you Roza, I'm so sorry " he tryed but I shooshed him saying, " There nothing to be sorry for my love, Now let me heal your pain"
I whispered as I sent him all my love and healing thru the connection we shared...

After a few moments I felt him getting stronger as I was growing weaker, he stepped back from me and said " enough Roza, I'm better please just stay a little while longer so I can see you" I did as he asked and he again reached out to me. I carressed his face and neck as he shivered in response to my touch.

Knowing I could only stay in this form for a little more I reached up and kissed his lips. The kiss was sweet and tender, full of love, but it soon turned into more, we where clinging to each other, needing, wanting, lusting for so much more...

I pulled back slowly from the kiss as it became soft and tender again. and said, " Dimitri, I need you to promise me something, promise me that if this doesn't work,
you'll move on. I want you to live your life to the fullest, be happy, find love." I said in a whisper.

" I can't do that Roza, don't ask me to, because I will not do that." he said firmly.

" I need you to do this for me, please. I can't bare the thought of you suffering, I ... I just wish so much for you. I wish... I could give you children, give you all you deserve, I just want you... to be happy. I'm so so sorry for all the pain and suffering you have been thru because of me, I love you... so much"
I said with so much conviction.

" Then you should know I feel the same way about you, I can't and I won't live without you Roza" he said while caressing my cheek softly.
Knowing it was useless, but trying once more I said, " Please for me" he held me closer and said. " I can't live with out my heart, I can't breathe without,
my soul, I can't see the light without the love of my life. I can't know happiness without you" he said as his accent grew stronger with his emotions.
his voice wrapped around me like the softess silk immaginable, clutching at my heart and soul... as bent down capturing my lips once more...

We stayed in each others embrace for as long as I could make my self seen unto him, finally after some time I had to let go and dissapear, but stayed close to him as he requested.

It was rather draining to me because of all the power I used today. I needed to rest for what we where gonna try and accomplish soon, I dared to hope.
Against all odds that we would actually be successful, I mean who in there right minds trys to capture the angel of death.

On top of all that, the time was upon us, it was now or never. Dimitri, was going to turn Pavel and in doing so he would be dieing for a short pieriod of time, thus calling upon the angel of death. To say I was worried, well that would be an understatement... Not only did my life hang in the balance but also Pavel's life as well. I mean come on we are dealing with the freaking angel of death here, And who in there right mind falls in love with the angel of death.
Ya I know my family tree is rather fucked up , either that or they are insane... but who could blame me for thinking that.

my living room had been cleared out and a metal slab table had been placed in the center with Pavel lyeing on top of it, while Dimitri stood right next to him.

Yeva, and Lissa was right in front of the table in a huge pentagram looking circle, with different symbols and some sort of crystal looking things at different points.
This was meant to hold and capture the angel of death when it came to collect Pavel. This is where I come in. It was my job, to keep Pavel here and safe,
while forcing the angel of death into the circle. Once he was in Yeva and Lissa would chant the spell to keep him from being able to demaiteralizeing out.

"Roza, stay close and don't let him get a grip on you, do you hear me." asked dimitri, while he demanded an answer of me.

I look over at my Body lying just outside the circle next to Abe who was hovering over me, and said, " Yes, I understand. you just do what you have to do and don't worry about me." I said trying to make him less worried about me and worry about making sure Pavel came out of this alright.

Dimitri, snorted his response and look at Pavel and said, " You ready" I could tell Pavel was in his game on mode , as the team liked to call it,
his response was, " Just make sure Rosalina comes back to us, and remember my terms." I moved to Dimitri's side and appeared to everyone and grabbed Pavel's hand. I bent down and kissed his cheek. He squeezed my hand for a moment and said, " Let's do this"

The energy in the room changed and you could feel it being charged with the power that Dimitri was releasing as he bent down and sunk his fangs into Pavel's neck.
I could hear his heart beat racing, then slowing as his blood left his body before it completely stopped.

As his heart pumped out its last beat, the atmosphere changed again and a dark shadow was riseing from the corner of the room. I could tell no one other than Yeva, Lissa and myself could see it. Fear like I have never felt before gripped me but I struggled to push it aside, as the angel of death came closer.

Dimitri must have seen or felt what I was feeling as he reached over and gripped my hand squeezing it, trying to give me his strenght. It was all I needed.
The angel of death reached its hand down and stuck it thru Pavel's chest to pull out his soul. In that moment I raised one hand and flung it in the air calling upon my angel power, I pushed with an invisible force toward death and it stumbled a few steps back, shit not enough, it was just out side the circle.

Death looked up at me and flung his hand in my direction, My spirit was thrown into the air and slamed into the wall, before I could move an inche he was in front of me grabbing me by the neck. Chocking the shit out of me. I needed to get out of its grips quickly, so I was able to wiggle one hand free and with as much force as I could gather I thru up my shield and flung the angel of death towards the circle. He flew into the air and landed with only one foot in the circle,
he tryed coming back toward me but was struggleing, he couldn't move his foot. Yeva shouted out, " Push him further in Roza"

I could feel my energy draining quickly, but with one last mental shove I managed to push him into the circle...

I felt myself sliding down the wall, from tiredness and felt dimitri's hands wrap around me, his face frantic as he looked over my entire body checking for any injurys... I weakly reached out my hand and touched his cheek to reassure him I was fine , just before I faded out.

" Roza, Roza, answer me , I can't see you . baby please answer me." he cryed out as his frantic emotions took over.

" I"m still here " I called out weakly. As relief flooded thru him, he turned around and said, " Lets get this over with now" he demanded with anger...

Yeva and Lissa just finished chanting as the angel of death became visible to everyone. He lifted the cloak from his face to reveal,
the most beautiful man I have ever seen in my life, and thats saying something, because no lie Dimitri really did look like a God.

He had the same features as me dark hair and hazel eyes, tanned complexion, chiseled looks and you could tell he was ripped in muscle.
Fuck me , that's my grand father. Ok maybe I could see where my Grandmother was coming from... EWWWW I think I just threw up in my mouth...
Focas, I mentally screamed at myself.

" What do you do want from me" he said as his voice boomed with male dominance...

I lifted myself off the floor and walked closer to him and making myself reappear I stood just outside the circle.

"Abe are you sure this is my grandfather." I asked. I mean I could clearly see we where related but I mean come on, he looks about 22 years old.
Not exactly what I was expecting. But before abe could respond the angel of death looked closer at me then at abe as he said.

" Ibrihim, is that you son." my father just nodded his head but looked away from him and into my eyes.

" Please Abe, look at me" my father looked over at him and said, " Its been to long father, would you like to meet my daughter"

His gaze returned to me and a lone tear fell from his eye. " Her name is Rose" abe said.

"Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood flows threw you. You are more powerful than you know my precious Rose.
Please come closer I will not harm you, I only wish to bestow a blessing upon you, You have my word."

Dimitri was by my side in a flash and pushed me behind him, growling out, "You will not touch her death" I looked over his shoulder at death as he bowed,
his head, as if he understood. like he was us to being unwanted or not being able to touch someone because they feared him.

I stepped in front of dimitri and placed my hands on his chest and looked into his eyes, letting him know it was alright, and to trust me..
With great effort and hesitation he released his grip on me.

I took one step into the circle and watched in amazement as death raised one hand and gently careesed my cheek.
he then reached over and kissed my forehead.

"How can I be of service to you my precious rose" he asked giving me a loving and breathe taking smile.

" I need your help, if there was any other way I would not ask this of you" I said hopeing he understood...

" You only need but ask and I will do as you wish." he said with pride as he gazed upon me. There was a look on his face I could not understand...

" Why are you looking at me like that " i asked wondering...

He let out a chuckle that sounded like chimes of the angels and said, " Ah, my precious, I am old as time it self but never since my creation have I seen someone more beautiful and selfless as you my little rose. You still remain pure of heart despite all the tragic events that continue to plague your life."

" I wouldn't say that exactly, because I need you, in order to live. The only way to get you hear was to trap you, and by the way whats your real name"
I said slightly embaressed...
He chuckled again and said, " My name is Nathaniel. So you seek out death to live" he said with a smirk " It is my blood you need, correct"

"How... Yes I need your help, please" I stated with hope...

" I can help you my precious one" said Nathaniel... "However, you must understand that once I give you my blood directly from my veins, you will change."
he stated seriously .

"What will I become" I asked slightly nervous of his answer. I could feel the tension flowing thru Dimitri. You would never know to look at him he seemed calm.

" You will become much more powerful than you already are, However because you where born half vampire, You will never age, never change. You will remain as you appear now" he said while pointing at my body on the floor. "But you will need to feed, when you feed you will gain more power and knowledge thru the person you feed from.
You will have the power to move things with your mind, as well materialize wherever you want thru using the shadows. You will be linked to both worlds. the land of the living, as well as the land of the dead. Your only weakness will be the one you love" he said as he look above my head at dimitri.

" How can he be my weakness" I asked...

"If he was to become in danger, they could force you to relinquish your powers in order to save him, but I will offer you one thing that is within my power,
choose one person, who is not a vampire to be your protector. He will be powerful and death it self can never claim him." he said in a way that made me believe he knew something more...

"What is it your not telling me" I asked

He smile down at me as if I was a child, he tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear and said, " You are very observant young one,
however, I am only allowed to tell you so much. In time all will make it self known to you. but beware of who you trust, there is deceit amoungst your inner circle. So choose wisely my precious one."

Without haveing to even think twice I motioned toward the table where pavel's lifeless body lay...

" Ah Pavel, wise choice. He was deadly as a human, but as your protector he will be unstoppable. He will have a link to at all times. He will be the only other one that will be able to move thru both worlds as you. Rise Pavel breath air into thy lungs" he commanded as Pavel took a deep breathe in... then in a flash he jumped off the table and stepped in front of me blocking my way of Nathaniel.

"Back away rosalina" he said in a vishous growl as he narrowed his eyes at my grandfather... I didn't even realize Pavel had a long daggar at Nathaniel's throat... Ok does anyone else find this funny, I mean he is trying to kill death... helloo what's wrong with this picture...

As everyone in the house started laughing...

"Roza, you have a wicked sense of humor, in spite of the serious nature we are faced in, you still find the time to crack a joke." said dimitri as I realized I said that out loud...

I rolled my eyes and said , " OK, Ok fine I'm a freaking comedian now pavel put that dagger away before you hurt your self.'

He lowered the dagger but didn't put it away, he simply took a step back and placed the other hand on my arm slightly keeping me behind him...

Nathaniel just continued to keep eye contact with Pavel, then gave him a crooked smile and said, " Yes he is indeed the perfect choice"

Pavel looked a little confused and stated , "The perfect choice for what, cause I'm not going any where with you, my loyalty lies with Rosalina"

"Indeed it does, I want you to protect her, and her only... and that includes her heart as well " nathaniel motioned to dimitri and I.

" Pavel you don't have to do this if you don't want to, however if you choose to do so, you will never die , never age. your life will not be your own. Unless she will's it... " death said as he explained everything that would become of pavel.

The only thing Pavel said as he shrugged his shoulders was, " Thats what I was gonna do in the first place any way, so I accept. "

He instructed Pavel to bow down on one knee. He placed his hand on his head and you could feel the power flowing into pavel as he changed.
Nathaniel held out both of his hands as two flaming samuri swords appeared into each hand.

"You will be the only one that will be able to weild the swords, they are unbreakable, and will appear at your beconing ..." nathaniel explain, as he handed the swords to Pavel. Then he also handed him a ring in a gold setting with a gold and diamond skull in middle of the black stone.
Than told Pavel to rise...

He turned to me and said, " are you ready my precious one."

I nodded yes and floated over to my body, Yeva broke the circle and nathaniel walk over and kneel down beside my body.
dimitri was kneeling on the other side next to abe.

Nathaniel sliced into his wrist and placed it to my mouth, as the blood trickled down my throat, I felt my self being pulled back into my body.

once I was back into my body I latched onto nathaniel 's wrist as he craddled my head to help support my neck..

I flung my eyes open and stared striaght at dimitri, as I continued to drink. After a few moments I pulled back and closed my eyes and took a deep breathe...

I felt my body lift off the ground as a surge of energy shot thru out my entire body. Power like I never felt before shot out all around me, The windows exploded with the force of it. I opened my eyes and came back down trying to reign in the power I felt. I raised my hand and all the glass that shattered replaced it self back into its rightful place.

A second later I flung myself into dimitri's embrace, we held onto each other so tightly , it was impossible to pry us apart. Or so I thought, as the front door flew open, and in stepped Alberta, then my mother...

"What the hell is going on here" said Janine with as much venom to scare the devil himself..."And what the hell is Abe doing here"

" I need a fucking vacation" I said, feeling very tired mentally and physically...
