No! Was all that was going through Rose's mind. Here was her teacher, her heart, her life. The heartbreak was battling with the hope and disbelief that tingled throughout her body. Could it be possible that he was safe? Her eyes wide just stare at him.
"How… how can this be?" she asked in a whisper.
"My body may have changed, but my soul will always be yours Rose." He smiled as he watched her, memorising his face.
"So this is your soul? Are we in the Ballroom again?" Rose was now completely confused.
"Haha yes this is my soul and no Roza we are not in the underworld sanctuary. I am simply visiting you within space." He said calmly.
"I missed you, so much. It hurt so badly when you were gone!" tears trailing down her cheeks as she rushed to embrace him. She just wanted to touch him one last time, it seemed so long ago since she had last held on to him. She latched onto his body with a grip that suggested that he was the only thing that she was holding onto in the world. Without him she would be nothing. That was the original problem.
"Are you really Strigoi?" she said as quietly as a mouse fearing the answer.
"Yes, sadly my body has been turned, yet my heart and soul will belong to and be a part of you always. Remember that if nothing else." Eyes closed savouring having his sweet goddess in his arms just one more time.
"I can save you though, I don't know how yet, but I will. I will bring you back to me!" she said, hopeless promises being made.
"Things happen for a reason. How do you know that this was not meant to happen?"
"Because Fate would never be so cruel."
"There has to be away to bring you back, connect you soul with your body." she thought out aloud. She couldn't give up the hope now that she had found him, got to hold him and talk to him when she needed him most. She wouldn't give this up. Either he came back to her or she would come to him. Images of the mirror flashed before her eyes as well as a sense of longing. She continued on thinking about ways to put his spirit back in his body. She kept trying to think of what to do, but her brain was sluggish in its thinking process. If only things were like the fairytales, where a kiss would re-awaken someone. She smiled slightly at that thought, when an idea struck her. It felt as if she had known it all along. Power rushed though her veins like adrenaline, as excitement crept up her neck.
"Can you be seen down there, like Mason's ghost was?" she asked him, very curious
"Yes, if I must, but only for a short period of time." He replied.
"You said your heart and soul is always mine. When the time comes I will transfer your soul back to your body." she stated.
"That's impossible Roza! And anyway to get my soul you shall have to get past Death, and he does nothing for free. You will have to come out of your body to get me Rose, YOU WILL HAVE TO DIE, D YOU NOT UNDERSTAND??" he practically yelled at her, panic rising in the pit of his stomach.
"Let me deal with that, just come when I tell you to." She said a little put off that he didn't like her idea.
"Do you not realise how much darkness you receive from joining your body again. The darkness you receive from Lissa is nothing compared to what you want to do. The darkness will destroy you. You cannot control it. What if you become lost Rose, what's going to pull you back from the brink?" he whispered.
"Lissa can bring me back if need be, and once you change back, you and Lissa can call me back. I have been dealing with Darkness for months, I can handle this. Please just let me try." She ended pathetically.
He placed his hand on her cheek and bent down slowly to give her the most delicate and loving kiss he could. "I cannot lose you Roza." He murmured against her lips
"You won't I promise, just let me try." She said, now determined.
"I cannot stop you, but you have to figure out a way to do it Rose, I will not help you with your suicide." He told her, a serious look gracing his handsome features.
"You are coming to the Academy aren't you?" she asked looking at him uncertainly.
"No Roza, I am already there." he said solemnly. Suddenly a nauseating feeling took over her, as well as the sense of being pulled backwards.

When Rose got back to her body, she was surrounded by many people. Eddie, Lissa, Christian, Stan, Alberta and her mother. She had to warn them, before it was too late.
"There… will be an… attack." She managed to get out, still being very weak for the moment. Gasps were heard around the room.
"When, child, when?" Alberta asked impatiently. They had to prepare and they had to do it soon. Suddenly a new guardian ran into the room screaming at the top of his lungs, "The wards have been broken!" While quickly running out to find soldiers to face the battle.
The whole room looked at Rose as if they had never seen her before. She looked each and every one of them in the eye before slowly turning to Alberta.
"Right now." Rose wispered.
