I'm dealing with a bit of writer's block on this story, so I need some ideas. I'd love to hear what my readers think should happen next! Review or PM me.

Enjoy!

Dimitri POV

Trouble. Rose is in trouble. Lissa called me moments ago telling me that Rose was on the edge of the wards and that there was a strigoi nearby. Normally, I wouldn't be so worried about one strigoi, but Rose's body isn't quite as capable as it used to be. I guess that's what happens when you are in a coma for two years.

It also didn't matter that Rose was angry. I refuse to let her die because of a stupid argument. Especially not an argument over Tasha.

It took me less than 2 minutes to reach the location that Lissa had told me that Rose was at. I was silent, and taking in everything around me. One wrong move, and I could lose my Roza or myself. I was still inside the wards, so the strigoi couldn't sense me just yet. About 10 feet off to my left, I could see Rose standing in a defensive stance. About 5 feet in front of her, there was a strigoi that was partially obstructed from my view. He was taunting her.

"Don't you remember me, Rosemarie?" His voice made my skin crawl. I would know that voice from anywhere.

My father, Randall Ivashkov, had turned strigoi.

Rose POV

I was staring into a pair of red eyes, and I couldn't make my body move. I knew that I needed to run. That was Dimitri's first lesson: run.

"Don't you remember me, Rosemarie?" The strigoi's cold voice sneered again.

I couldn't make my voice work, just like I couldn't make my body work. Suddenly, I felt a presence behind me. The strigoi didn't seem to notice because his attention was focused on me. He was still taunting me.

"I've heard the story of your memory loss. It's quite a shame, really. Takes some of the fun away, knowing that you don't remember why I'm going to kill you."

The presence behind me was closer now, and I felt a bit safer. I don't know how I knew, but I knew it was Dimitri. My voice finally found the strength to break through.

"Who are you and what do you want?" I snapped.

"Dear Rosemarie, I'm your father-in-law, and I've come to take my son's family away from him just as he did to me all those years ago. And once I've killed you and your twins, I'm going to get my family back. I'm going to make Olena my immortal companion."

At the mention of my twins, my body finally decided to move. Adrenaline and instinct took over. I lunged at the strigoi, but he was faster and stronger than I expected. He dodged my attack, and managed to throw me against a tree. Stars glittered my vision, and he started walking towards me.

In the blink of an eye, Dimitri was there. He caught his father off guard, and was able to get his attention off of me. It was like watching a train wreck. I wanted to look away, to get up and run back to safety, but once again I couldn't move. Dimitri looked like a God, always blocking every blow that the strigoi threw.

Suddenly, my nausea got worse. There were more strigoi close by. My body seemed to respond automatically. I got up and started running back towards Court. As soon as I got inside the wards, I seen several guardians running towards me.

"You have to help him! Dimitri is alone, I sensed at least 8 strigoi coming other than Dimitri's father. Go! Help him!"

They complied quickly. I was left alone again inside the wards. Lissa grabbed my attention over the bond.

Are you okay? What happened.

I was about to respond when a memory seized me.

It was on my wedding day. It was right after Dimitri and I had our first dance as a married couple. A man walked up to me right after Dimitri walked away to get drinks. He introduced himself as Randall Ivashkov, Nathan Ivashkov's brother. That meant he was Adrian's uncle. We held light conversation for a few minutes before Dimitri walked back over with our drinks. He tensed beside me as he seen who I was talking to. Then Dimitri spoke.

"Hello, father. What are you doing here?" I felt the hatred dripping from his words.

I was shocked. The man standing in front of me did not seem to be the type of man that would beat Olena. Then again, I thought about how looks could be deceiving. Then another thought hit me: Adrian and Dimitri are cousins. I wondered if Adrian knew. Dimitri's father spoke up.

"I'm only here to meet my beautiful new daughter. Did you really think I'd miss my son's wedding?"

The memory faded, and Lissa was spitting questions over the bond.

Rose. Answer me. Are you okay? What happened? Where is Dimitri?

I replayed the events for her, and she called for back up. Within minutes, there was at least 12 more guardians heading out to where Dimitri was at. I couldn't stand here anymore. I took off running towards Lissa's house, where I knew Ivan and Anna would be.

I barged in the front door, and was greeted by little arms being thrown around my legs. It was Ivan. I reached down and picked him up. I could tell something was bothering him

"Hey baby, what's wrong?"

"Daddy is hurt. The strigoi that was trying to hurt you hurt daddy instead. The other guardians are still fighting but the strigoi that was after you got away."

My body froze. Dimitri was hurt. It was my fault. Anna walked in the room and piped up just then.

"Mommy it's not your fault. Daddy will be okay."

"How do you both know this? I was just there, and I didn't know this."

"It's part of my powers, Momma. I have visions sometimes about things that will happen or things that are happening now." Ivan stated.

"I don't have visions, but I can see into Ivan's head and help him tell the vision as it happens." Anna chimed in.

"Wow." That was all I could think to say at the moment. Then I thought about what Anna had said. "Are you sure he will be okay?"

"Yes I'm sure. He will be home from the hospital tomorrow." Ivan stated.

Anna chimed in. "Mommy, we need to go to the hospital because I need to heal daddy."

I did a double take. "Wait, heal? Like Auntie Lissa?"

Both kids nodded in agreement. Another thought came to mind.

"Are the any side effects?"

"I get tired and kind of cranky like Ivan does after a big vision, but it's not like the darkness that Auntie Lissa gets from healing. After I eat and take a nap, all side effects are gone." Anna said, very seriously.

"Momma, she healed you after your accident when Auntie Lissa couldn't do it. Auntie Lissa was getting too much darkness, so Anna healed you, but you didn't wake up." Ivan trailed off.

Anna picked up. "You were asleep for a long time, Mommy, but Ivan had a vision. We knew you would come back without your memories. We couldn't tell Daddy. It would have crushed him and he would have gone crazy."

Ivan butted in. "I had a vision about that to. In my vision, I told daddy and he went crazy. He left us and hurt himself."

They were both silent. I didn't know how to process this information. Ivan broke the silence.

"You can tell him now, if you want mommy. He will be okay now because you are home. We need to go to the hospital though."

Ivan, Anna , and I left Lissa's and headed to the hospital. On the way over, I let Lissa know what happened.

I knew about Anna's Healing But I didn't know about Ivan's visions. I don't think anyone knew about Ivan's visions before they told you, other than Anna and Ivan of course. They never really opened up about their bond and their powers to anyone before you woke up.

Ivan said he knew when I was going to wake up, Lissa. He also knew that I wouldn't remember anything.

Why didn't they tell us then?

They said that they couldn't. Ivan had a vision where he told Dimitri and things turned out badly.

I guess that explains why the twins were so excited the day before you woke up. They knew you were gonna be okay.

Yeah. That would explain it.

We made it to the hospital just then so I pulled away from the conversation in the bond. the hospital door opened, and a couple of guardians were bringing Dimitri inside. He was beaten up, but he was conscious. Anna and Ivan ran over to him as he was sat down in a wheelchair. Ivan pulled me into his head.

I watched through Ivan's eyes as Anna put her tiny hand against her father's face. Her aura wrapped around his body, and his body began to visibly heal. It was easily the most beautiful thing that I'd ever seen. Everyone around us just stared, but I knew they couldn't see what Ivan was showing me. To the other onlookers, it simply looked like she was touching his face and he was healing. Ivan's voice spoke through my mind.

see, Mommy, no darkness like Auntie Lissa.

He was right. Anna's aura was a soft lavender color, and it currently wrapped around Dimitri's aura and body. There was no hint of darkness what so ever. When Anna pulled her hand away, I was back in my own head. I looked at Dimitri and our eyes met. He stood up and walked over to where I was standing. Our gaze never faltered. I spoke up

"Thank you for coming to save me. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine now, Roza. I'm just glad you are okay."

Just then, Dr. Olendzki walked up, and spoke.

"Guardian Belikov, I know little Anna has healed you, but I'd like to check you out and watch you overnight to be safe. Oh and Rose, take Anna to get something to eat and put her down for a nap. After that, bring her back here. I want to check her out too."

We all agree with the doctor, and I give Dimitri a goodbye kiss.

The rest of the day goes by uneventful, which I am kind of grateful for. I got to spend the afternoon with my twins, and really get to know them a bit better. Since Dimitri was staying the night in the hospital, I let the twins sleep in the bed with me. I fell asleep feeling happy and exhausted.
