Chapter Eleven

Everything after that happened in a rush...

About 15 Guardians came to the cave to rescue us. 15 actually wasn't a lot and I wondered if somehow more guardians had died because they usually would send in a hell of a lot more.

One of them was my mother. I haven't talked to her yet because they went back in the cave to check for anyone else and to kill any Strigoi on their way. I wasn't too worried since I don't think that there were many Strigoi in there anyway.

Right now I was cramped in a van with Christian, Meredith, Jessie and a few other novices and Moroi. I say cramped because there are 8 seats and at the front sat two guardians one was driving and the other was in the passenger seat and then there was the 6 remaining seats. And all up there was 8 of us not including the guardians.

I was sat at the very back squished up to the window with Meredith closely next to me, Jessie on her other side and another Moroi I think his name was Justin or something on the end.

They apparently didn't bring enough vans so there was only two for those captured. Dimitri was in the other one unfortunately, and it was annoying me since all I wanted to do was be with him right now. It's what I wanted more than anything else in the world.

There wasn't much conversation going on in the van, we were all tired and hungry, some more than others. Jesse was currently asleep and I felt this erg to kick him to make sure he was actually alive.

All the Moroi were the worst not just because they needed feeders but because these car windows weren't tinted and Moroi don't like the sun. Christian wasn't asleep since I kicked his chair once, he was sitting directly in front of me and he would go off every time, so I just did it to annoy him.

The two guardians sitting at the front (who were actually not squished like the rest of us) I didn't know the passenger but the one driving was Stan Alto. When we first started driving they asked us about what happened and we had nothing to hide, we told them everything.

I thought that they would maybe say something about what Christian and I did was wrong, but they didn't they actually seemed impressed.

I was going to pop in to Lissa's head just to hear if she knew we were ok and were coming back but I decided not to since I would see her soon enough and I couldn't wait.

I hadn't even noticed when we pulled up at the academy's gates. Stan said something to the guardian standing outside and he opened the gates.

Taking one look at 's I never really thought I would miss this place, but I did. I just never thought I would see it again, I never thought I would see much again and at the time I didn't care, I didn't care about anything.

It's all different now, the reason for me not caring was because I thought Dimitri was dead, now that I know he's alive and that he's going to be fine with me there's no way I wanted that taken away.

We were the first van to arrive, but the others I'm sure were driving not too far from us.

After getting out of the car staff from the clinic must have been expecting us since we were all forced to go to the clinic. Moroi had to get to the feeders and others like me needed to go to the clinic, I told them that I was fine but apparently I had to have a check up anyway.

Some parts of my body hurt from the fighting but I didn't have any broken bones, just a lot of bruises.

"Can I go now?" I asked Dr. Olendzki. I was sitting up on one of the beds in the clinic while she was writing on a clip board.

She rolled her eyes at me. "Yes, you may go, but take it easy you have been through a lot, you're incredibly lucky that you have no serious injuries."

"Yeah I know, strange for me right?" She smiled and I got up and walked out the door.

Everyone else that was brought back would be in these rooms of the clinic including Dimitri, but I had no idea where, so seeing him would have to wait for a bit.

What I wanted to do right now, was have a nice hot shower and change into some different clothes, I have been wearing the same ones for three days and they were all ripped and dirty I needed to change before I saw Lissa. I'm sure she wouldn't be too happy with me walking around looking like this, plus I probably smelled really bad.

Opening the door to my room it brought a smile to my face that everything was exactly the same as I left it, I don't know why I thought something would be different but I did. I nearly ran to my shower, I stripped down and let the hot water wash over me, I felt my body relax and that's something I haven't done in a while.

I could tell I must have stayed in there for a really long time since my skin was getting wrinkly. I turned the hot water off and stepped out. I happily changed into my comfortable light blue jeans and red T-shirt. I brushed through my wet and knotted hair and left it down.

I guessed that Lissa would be in her room. I knocked twice and waited for a while.

I sighed out loud when she didn't answer, I turned around and thought I would check the cafeteria when I heard the door open from behind me.

"Rose?" Lissa's voice came out crocked and turning to face her she had red tired eyes like she had been crying.

At the same time we both ran up to each other. She sniffled and started sobbing into my hair.

"I-I was so worried, nobody could find you..."

"Shhh" I patted her hair. "I'm fine, it's ok."

She pulled back to look at me, fresh tears rolling down her eyes. "They said that someone who was missing contacted the academy, guardians all went to look and I had to wait to see if they found anyone."

It's only then that I really thought about it. Who contacted the academy? I remember we never got the chance to. I didn't bother asking Lissa since I could already tell she didn't know.

There was something strong that I could sense from the bond. An answer she was scared to hear.

"He's here, and he's going to be fine." I said with a smile on my face. She didn't know about Christian.

She smiled too and we were back in a hug as she cried happy tears.

I spent a while in Lissa's dorm. Just me and her, I asked about Adrian and she said that he had a bit much to drink last night so he would have been sleeping all day. I shouldn't be surprised.

She couldn't see Christian yet so we just talked the whole day enjoying each other's company, but I couldn't help but think there was someone that I was desperate to see.

I had to leave as it was getting close to curfew, I gave Lissa a hug and said goodbye.

Walking into my dorm I didn't even bother getting changed I just threw myself on my bed. A bed. I had been sleeping in dirt when I was in the cave so this was really luxury.

I'm sure I was just drifting off when I heard the door knock. I suppressed a groan and a scream since I just wanted to sleep!

I was about to tell whatever person it was to piss off when I opened the door. But I stopped when I saw it was Dimitri.

Immediately I couldn't care less about sleeping. Looking into the eyes of the man I loved I felt a sudden pull. We were too far apart.

But it wasn't me who acted first, it was him. He took a step forward cupped my face and kissed me. Kissed me with hunger, kissed me with lust, kissed me with love.

Without stopping he shut my door from behind him. I wrapped my arms around his neck to pull him closer to me. He needed to be closer.

He walked forwards with me moving backwards and we both landed on the bed, his hands were now trailing up my body as he continued kissing. We had to break for air, but he then moved to my neck talking softly.

"I love you Roza, I love you so so much." He said against my neck. Hearing him call me that almost made me start crying.

Instead of answering I pulled his mouth to mine and rolled us over so now I was on top of him. I could feel his hands move up my shirt until they pulled it up over my head.

I did the same to him and to the rest of our clothes. Being with him meant everything to me, I loved the feel of his skin against mine. He was letting those walls down between us there was nothing that was going to keep us apart that's how I felt when I was with him. We hadn't said much, we didn't need too.

Just like the cabin we were one. I loved this man, I could never live without him.
