Last Chapter: I walk into the living room and see my Roza, bloody with a stake shoved through her chest, being held by a strigoi.

Chapter 7

DPOV

Something inside me snaps and before I know what I'm doing I race forward, face to face with a strigoi, the only thing keeping us apart is rose.

"What the fuck did you do?" I roar.

He gives me a menacing look and responds with the same volume, "I didn't fucking do anything! Som-"

"Both of you shut up! Sonya go call Oksana and tell her to get down here as fast as she can, tell her it's an emergency dealing with Roza. Eli," Mom points to the strigoi," lay Roza down upstairs in Dimitri's room. And you," she says, this time pointing at me, "need to go outside and calm down. We don't need you freaking out."

"No I'm staying with Rose." I demand.

"Dimitri-"

I cut her off, my eyes pleading and desperation dripping off my words, "Ma please, please let me stay with her. I've just only gotten her back."

She hesitates but finally agrees. We rush upstairs and Eli gently lays her down on my bed. With that small movement more blood rushes out of the wound and her breathing becomes labored and shallow.

"Ma!" I shout down the stairs "Come up here, I need your help, she's not doing good!"

I rush over to her side and kneel on the floor. Grabbing her hand I say over and over 'Roza please stay with me please Roza your all I have please stay with me I love you I love you I love you…..' Rose's pulse is barely there by the time Oksana steps through the door.

"Dimitri, everyone I need you to leave." She demands hurriedly.

I start to protest but know that it's just wasting time. So I step out into the hallway and wait for my Roza to be ok.

RPOV

I hear the voice of an angel speaking to me from the constant black. For a while I just concentrate on that but to soon he stops and I try and speak for him to keep talking but my voice won't work, nothing on my body will work. I hear a rustling and then another voice speaks to me, this one is the voice of an angel speaking softly,

"Ok Rose, I'm going to pull the stake through and this is going to hurt like hell so feel the need to scream if you have to."

I wanted to tell her that I couldn't scream if I wanted to that I can't make any sound but am interrupted by a terrible pain in my chest one so intense that my eyes fly open and my face crumples in pain. I let out a bloodcurdling scream of pain that lasts for almost a couple of seconds. I hear a whimper out in the hall then a murmur through the walls. My screams turn into whimpers then eventually suffice. I then realize that she's performing a healing on me I sigh in some sort of relief and wait for the pain to evaporate. Unfortunately that doesn't happen the pain just gets more intense, making me worry.

"Olena! Olena come in here right now something is wrong!" Oksana screams.

I hear a door whip open and then feet trampling to where I lay.

"What's wrong?"

"I-I don't know. I pulled the stake out and put all my power into healing her but nothing happens."

"Well we need to find out what the hell's wrong or she's going to die!"

"You think that I'm not aware of the situation, Dimitri?"

Dimitri, I sigh. I wasn't aware of who was speaking but now I don't even care how much pain I'm in just as long as the one I love is here. I open my eyes, squinting at the sudden brightness. I search the room for that one face and when I find it smile and try with all my might to lift my hand up, when I can't I try to speak and find that I can, if it's only a weak whisper I can talk.

"Dimitri?" I whisper.

All eyes turn to me immediately, faces masked in concern and fear. I can't hold my eyes open anymore so they slowly close, and wait for everything to go away.

I hear the sadness in his voice and feel a drop of wetness on my cheek when I hear him speak. "Roza."

I try to lift up my hand again and when I fail, I start to cry betrayal tears that slide down my cheeks.

"Rose! Rose what's wrong?" he asked alarm.

"I can't lift my arm."

"Do you need something? I can get it for you, honey."

"Your hand."

"My hand?"

"Yes I want to hold your hand."

I feel the sudden warmth of his hand wrapping around mine and as sure as light is to day I know that I'm going to die. I'm not afraid though, I feel as though Dimitri's strength is pulling into me and with that I know that everything is going to be ok. I realize what the wetness was on my cheek and feel the need to reassure him that everything will be ok. I find the will to open my eyes and say,

"Don't cry Comrade. Things will be ok, you'll see."

"Roza, your right things will be ok because we're going to get you help and you'll be as healthy as you we're that first day I met you."

I give him a sad smile and look deep within his eyes, "I know I'm going to die, Dimitri. We're all going to die, my death will just be sooner than the others. I don't want this to faze you, you need to be strong and move on forget all about me. I came and did what I was supposed to, I freed Lissa, I killed the bad guys, and I found love. The best love I could have asked for, with the most wonderful guy. I even might think you know him," I throw him a smile.

His tears come harder, "Roza please, please, just hold on! We're going to get help, just please hold on please."

I can feel my pulse once sure and steady, getting slower and slower. It's getting harder for me to breathe too, so it takes all of my strength to say the next few words,

"I love you."
