LPOV

Tasha held the entrance door open as all the rest of us rushed in. I ran passed the nurse at the front desk who was telling me I was not aloud back there, LIKE HELL I WAS! I didn't care as I passed through the doors, I didn't know where Dimitri took Rose but it didn't take me long to find out as I heard Dimitri screaming Roses name.

I reached the small emergency room and the sight that I saw nearly killed me. Rose was on the stretcher with 3 nurses and 2 doctors around her. There were five guardians trying to restrain Dimitri but they were fighting a lost cause, as he was stronger. This was not helping Rose.

"ENOUGH" I screamed at the top of my voice. The entire infirmary staff, doctors, and well let's just say everyone turned to look at me.

"This is not helping Rose, now get out of my way; I need to get to her before it is too late." I barked in a harsh voice that I have never thought I had.

"I am sorry Princess the doctors are still trying to stabilize Rose, you will not be able to see her" one of the nurses spoke.

I turned my head to Dimitri giving him a small nod. Dimitri pushed two of the guardians into the wall, punched one in the nose with the last one placing his hand up in the air to surrender. I pushed my way into the room to hear the monitors signaling a flat line, the doctors were screaming to get more bags of blood and one of the nurses saying she was going into shock from the lose of blood.

"You can't be in hear get out" one of the doctors screamed at me before advancing in my direction. Just when he was about to touch me his face turned into pure shock.

"Touch her and you will burn" I heard Christians cold voice echo through the room. He was standing behind me with his hands outstretched with two blood red fireballs in his hands.

All the staff moved away from the bed as I quickly rushed to Roses side placing my hands on her body. Closing my eyes I felt the magic flow through my body into Rose.

"The wound is healed Lissa" I heard Adrian speak

I didn't know how long it took me to heal Rose but I slowly opened my eyes to see Adrian standing on the other side of Rose with his hand on her forehead, he too was concentrating trying to connect to her through her mind. Christian was beside me with his back turned to me keeping an eye on the infirmary staff.

The monitors started beeping a normal rhythmic sound, as I let out a huge sigh. I still had my hands on Rose as I need to check to see if the baby was alright. Rose would kill herself is something happened to the baby. Closing my eyes once more I let the spirit magic flow through me. THANK GOD! The baby was fine, I don't really know how I knew but spirit was telling me the baby was fine.

Taking my hand away from Rose I noticed the doors of the room where open and there stood everyone watching me.

"She is going to be ok" I sighed with relief.

Guardian Hathaway was clutching onto Abe crying, he in return was holding her tightly whispering into her ear. Dimitri slumped back against the wall releasing a big breath of air, with Tasha next to him closing her eyes, she was praying. I felt Christians hand wrap around my waist moving me away from Rose.

"Lissa honey we have to let the infirmary staff do there bit now, you need to rest after using that mach magic. I am sure the staff will let you use one of the rooms so you wont be too far from her" his spoke soothingly.

I let Christian lead me to the room next door as I was indeed very exhausted from using that much spirit. Tasha followed us into the room, pulling up a chair next to the bed making sure that I got settled. I quickly drifted off to sleep hearing faint murmurs as Christian and Tasha spoke.

APOV

I watched as Christian escorted Lissa out of the room, she looked so drained, both emotionally and physically. Lissa could not survive without Rose, literally. A bond binds Lissa and Rose but it is more than that, they are sisters. Rose would do anything to keep Lissa happy, even lay down her life if necessary to keep her safe no questioned asked. Don't get me wrong Rose is a dhampir; it is her job but even if it wasn't Rose would still do all those things. I have never known people like this before.

I looked towards the door to have my eyes met with a fiery blaze of Guardian Belikov. He was still in the slump position against the wall. You could tell by his posture that he was not going to be leaving this room till Rose woke up or until I was not present. He and I didn't like each other; to be honest we simple hated each other, as we both loved the same woman.

I walked passed him and could feel his gaze burning into my body, I needed a drink. Knowing Rose was healed I exited the infirmary making my way slowly back to the guest housing. I really didn't want to leave her but I knew if I stayed Guardian Belikov and I would have a disagreement of sorts.

I walked into my apartment straight over to the bar grabbing a bottle of vodka from behind the counter. Removing the cap from the bottle throwing it to the ground I flopped down onto the couch. Bring the bottle to my lips; I greedily took a big swig. Laying my head back against the cushions I closed my eyes remembering the first time I saw rose.

Flashback

It was winter; most of the mori population was at the resort due to the recent violent strigoi attacks. I was outside on one of the many balconies having my usual smoke hidden in the shadows when the most beautiful creature I have ever seen walked through the balcony doors slamming it behind her.

I held my breath as I prayed to god for this beauty to be real and not in my imagination. She walked over to the railing slamming her fist down hard letting out a frustrated sigh.

She was wearing a set of very tight black skinny jeans with a deep red low cut v-neck blouse. Her hair was out and it flowed down to her lower back, she looked like a goddess that was plucked straight from an old movie.

Just then my body remembered to breathe and I choked on the smoke that I inhaled from my cigarette, alerting her to my presence. I stepped out from the shadows coughing & splattering trying to regain my breath. I looked up at her only to find her in a crouching position ready to strike.

Looking into her eyes I fell in love hard for the beauty that stood before me.

End of flashback

I knew from that day her heart belonged to another more precisely Guardian Belikov but I wasn't going to give up that easily. Over time we have become good friends, she flirts with me and I most definitely flirt back. Hey anything to give Belikov a jab, he always hates me when I give Rose sexual undoes. I know Rose loves me, it is just unfortunate for me it is not the same way I love her. We have become close friends and I care for her deeply.

See guardian Belikov and Rose auroras are blinding when they are around each other. There is a connection there that I envy; yeah I guess you can call me selfish on that for wanting to have what they got.

I was about to take another swig from the bottle when there was a knock at the door. Reluctantly I got up from the couch, answering the door to see the one person that I truly didn't want to interact with, Dimitri.

"Oh hell what do you want?" I asked flatly before taking another big swig of vodka. My day couldn't get any worse.

He just stood there at the door looking at me with the blankest of looks like he was a broken man. I knew what he was going through; Rose had that affect on everyone. She is the light and hope that surrounds us all, that blanket that made everything all better.

I pushed the door open before turning round and taking my place back on the couch. I really didn't know what he was doing here but curious to find out.

"There is a bottle of Russian vodka in the cupboard underneath the bar, for emergency. I think today classes as one," I offered as he looked like a man that could use a drink. I closed my eyes resting my head back against the back cushion of the couch.

I heard the door close and the soft noise of movement from the corner of the room where the bar was located.

"Thank you" Dimitri stated.

I opened my eyes to see the Russian gulping down the vodka like there was no tomorrow; boy is he going to regret doing that. He moved out from behind the bar and took a seat opposite myself on the couch, the bottle resting on his knee with his hand gripping the neck of the bottle. My eyes shot wide as I noticed that half the bottle was already gone.

"You might want to slow up, need I remind you what that stuff can do," I stated gesturing towards the bottle with my own before taking another mouthful.

"I am Russian remember, but considering today events nothing matters as long as Roza is safe" he responded lifting the bottle to his lips.

We sat there is silence as we both drank from our bottles. He would look at me out of the corner of his eye and I would do the same. I couldn't take the silence any more it was killing me.

I chuckled to myself as I thought about Rose. She would never believe either one of us about this if we told her.

"What is funny Lord Ivashkov?" Dimitri asked raising one eyebrow.

Shaking my head I responded "Rose will never believe either one of us if we told her both you and I were in the same room drinking"

What Dimitri did next actually sacred me, he burst out laughing. "No she wouldn't"

We both calmed down, taking another drink of the bottles we had. At this stage there wasn't much left and would have to find more or switch to another spirit. Getting up from the couch I walked behind the bar grabbing two more bottles of American vodka, placing them on the bar.

"Do you love her?" I asked tilting my head looking him in the eye. I may have been intoxicated but I could still read his aurora.

Dimitri stood up from the seat walking to stand directly in front of me on the other side of the bar. He looked me directly in the eye before he spoke.

"Yes. Words cannot describe the way I feel for Roza. At the start I was not sure what my feelings were towards her. I was brought in to bring the Princess back, which is what I did. Then I offered to mentor Rose without thinking, I had no idea why I would do such a thing. The more time I spent around her the more I understood her. What I didn't realize it went both ways. She saw past my mask as I saw past hers." He spoke with such passion and conviction.

Taking both bottles we both moved towards the kitchen sitting at the table across from each other. His aurora was shinning bright red and I knew he was speaking the truth. I opened the bottles as he continued.

"I knew Rose had a….. Whats the word crush yeah crush on me but I pushed it aside as a teenage girl thing. As time went by my feelings deepened. Jealousy would rage through me when I saw her with another man, anger when I see her cry and can't fix the problem and more. Almost losing her…..at Spokane was very hard for me to deal with and now this." A heavy sigh came from deep in his chest.

"I would give up everything to make her happy and give her the life & happiness she deserves. I can't loose her and will die keeping it so" when Dimitri spoke those last words it sent a chill down my spine.

I knew that I loved Rose a lot more than a friend and would do anything for her but I could not honestly answer if it was the same as Dimitri. He was referring to something more, soul mates.

"Can I ask you a question?" Dimitri spoke with curiosity lacing his voice with one eyebrow raised.

"What the hell, since we are baring our souls here and with this much alcohol you could ask too dance naked in front of the mori court and I would" I sarcastically responded before taking another swig. I shifted in my seating worried to what his question was going to be.

He snickered shaking his head. "Will you ever stop trying and move on?"

Now that I was not expecting. I love Rose yes, she loves me? Yes but in the wrong way. Could I move? Mmmmmm.

"I honestly don't know." I finally answered quickly taking another mouthful closing my eyes shut tight waiting for this Russian to pound my face in. After a few moments I opened one eye to see if he was still there waiting for me to see it coming but what I saw was Guardian Belikov frowning at me not understanding.

"Get on with it, will ya" I snapped at him.

"Lord Ivashkov, get on with what?" Dimitri asked puzzled

I slammed my bottle down on the table in frustration, standing up very quickly but Dimitri didn't even budge. "Aren't you going to go all badass and hit me?" I demanded.

Dimitri eyes widen as he clicked onto what I was referring too. "Lord Ivashkov please sit back down. I may not think highly of you, as you have not given me any reason to do so but I will not attack you. Especially, not since you told me the truth." He calmly spoke before lifting the bottle to his lips.

God I hate it when he can look so graceful and godlike, like that. I flopped back into the seat. The kitchen was filled with tension as we both went back to staring at each other. As before it was me that broke the silence.

"I know you don't believe me but I really do love her you know. Since that day at the lodge I have not been able to get her out of my head. I would do anything for her *sighs* and that includes backing off to let her be happy with you. Don't get me wrong you two are going to be facing tough times as Dhampir relationships are frowned upon." I spoke clearly as I could as the alcohol was now really kicking in as I started slurring some words.

Dimitri was about to responded but I cut him off raising my hand.

"Truth be told you and Rose are indeed made for each other. I am sure by now that your aware that I can see auroras correct" I asked.

Dimitri nodded his head.

"God I can't believe I am saying this. You and Rose are soul mates alright. When you are around each other your auroras connect and become one. It is quite blinding actually. There I said it but by god Dimitri if you hurt her in any way not even my aunt will be able to stop me, get my drift." I narrowed my eyes on him.

DPOV

A smile came across my face. Did he really think that he would be able to hurt me, HA! You could see that my response was not what he expected.

"Adrian, May I call you that, especially since you have called me by my given name?" I asked

Adrian nodded his head and a shrug of his shoulder as a response. God he reminds me so much of Ivan.

"Adrian, I would never intentionally hurt Rose without hurting myself in the process. Her life is worth more to me then my own and I want nothing more than to make her happy. If I was the cause of Rose to be unhappy then you need not worry about finding me as I would have already fixed the problem myself" I calmly spoke staring him down.

Silence claimed us again as we both sat at the table. I could feel the affects of the Russian vodka pumping through my veins relaxing my body, willing it for sleep. We just sat there staring at each other not saying a word, like we had too. Woman would call it guy talk or code but really it is just a guy's way of understanding each other. We didn't need to speak with words as Adrian and I already knew this was going to happen sooner or later.

Over the last few hours being in the company of Adrian he has gained more respect from me then he will ever realize. Taking mouthfuls of this weak arse vodka I really looked at Adrian. He really did remind me of Ivan. Ivan was my best friend; he was my first charge. Everyone one always wondered how we could be friends as we were complete opposites.

"Is it just because I love Rose that you hate me Dimitri?" Adrian slurred the question out.

Raising an eyebrow I looked him up and down. His body was molded into the seat and his posture relaxed but there was sorrow, hurt, and longing in his eyes. I knew that look, which was the same look Ivan gave when he was looking for something real. Ivan was a royal mori just like Adrian; Adrian is just a little higher up on the ladder. Royal Mori always get what they want, when they want and how they want but it is not real, it just those throwing the power round keeping them looking important. It was just then that I finally understood what Ivan meant.

Mori seem like they have it all given to them but at the end of the day there the ones that are creating more problems to keep their time occupied. As when they go home at night there is nothing real there for them to hold onto.

All Adrian wants is like every other person out there, someone to love, great friends and to be wanted for him not for his status. Leaning forward I grabbed the bottle from Adrian's grip, surprisingly he let it go.

"No that is not the only reason, you remind me of a dear friend. Actually he was more like my brother, Ivan Zeklos." My voice sounding harsher then I would have liked.

I stood up from the table and placed the bottles in the bin that were now empty. I glanced at Adrian who had this vague look on him.

"Adrian, I don't not hate you it is quite the opposite actually. You may annoy me with your undoes towards Rose but hate you I do not. You remind me so much of Ivan, he was a great man. A man that you are struggling to become, a push from me here or there in the right direction wont kill you." I spoke those words meaning every one of them.

I left Adrian sitting at the table with his jaw hanging on the ground and his eyes popping out of his head from my statement. Shaking my head I walked to the front door calling over my shoulder.

"That does not mean you get leeway with your undoes towards Rose" I snickered as I closed the door behind me.

I felt a weight being lifted of my chest but it still ached for Roza. My heart knew where I wanted to be as my feet moved in the direction of the infirmary.

So how did you like this chapter?

I don't think I per trade the Adrian and Dimitri scene well but I will let you guys be the judge of that.

So does anyone have any guess to what might be coming up?

Thank you for all those that have been reviewing I really do like hearing form you all.

So please review.
