Now you get to figure out the cliffhanger!

Enjoy!

I do not own VA.

DPOV

Maybe that's why I decided to use my spirit healing to bring her back to life…

Maybe I should tell her I'm not really a dhampir. I'm Moroi. No one else here knows because I haven't told them and my family had gone to great lengths to make sure no one knows whom I really am. But I also don't look like your average dhampir. I'm taller and more muscular and so far no one has second-guessed my true nature.

On second thought, maybe I should wait a while. Wait until I know where we stand.

When I opened my eyes, the lights felt blinding. It smelled sterile and whatever I was lying on could not possibly be a bed judging by how hard it was. I tried to sit up but my head began to spin.

"I wouldn't try that Rose." Said the deep voice I had grown accustomed to.

I looked around the room and my eyes settled on Dimitri's long form folded into a chair in the corner of the room. I was relieved to see him, and to know he was ok.

"What happened?" I asked. I don't remember much, I remember for some reason I was moving slowly. Too slow. And that's about it.

"Well, you got bit. Twice actually, the first time was when the strigoi pinned you to the ground, and the second was when you were fighting and he got your arm in his jaws.

"I got bit….?" Pinned to the ground? That must have been the pain in my neck! But I was to caught up in the fight to notice.

"Yeah, twice. Rose, you lost a lot of blood. They weren't sure if the transfusions would kick in in time." He looked cute when he was concerned. Then I remembered Fae. A dark look crossed my face and realization flickered across Dimitri's face.

"Rose, I want to talk to you about the other night. But I want to wait until you're fully recovered and out of here. Will you let me explain?"

I guess I owed it to him. And I did just rush out on him… I'm still not sure..

"Okay, you can explain as soon as I'm out of here. As long as you promise to tell the truth." I agreed.

I spent two more days in the infirmary before the doctors concluded I was in good enough health to return to my dorm. Lissa had been with me almost the whole time. While Dimitri only stopped by once after the first time. Giving me space I guess.

"I am so glad you are okay Rose. I was so worried! Did you know you killed three strigoi! And when you got hurt, Dimitri carried you all the way to the infirmary. Isn't that sweet!?" she gushed.

"Whoa Liss calm down. One thing at a time. I'm badass! 3 strigoi!" I gave a whoop. "Did he really carry me?" Ok yeah I was gushing. I couldn't help it.

"Yes, Rose, you are a badass. So when is Dimitri stopping by? She asked. I had told her about Dimitri wanting to talk to me when I was better. And she seemed happy about it…

"I don't know, he said sometime after 12. I think I'm just going to lay down for a while. I'm still a little tired. Wake me up when he gets here." I say as I make my way to my room and close the door.

"Rose." Someone whispers in my ear. "Move over." Suddenly hands push me to the middle of the bed and the side I was lying on sinks down as someone gets comfortable beside me.

I take a guess. "Dimitri."

"Good job Rose. What gave me away? My amazing smell?"

"How did you now I like how you smell?" I ask, embarrassed.

"I didn't… I was joking. You like how I smell?" he asked smugly.

"Mmmmmm!" I groan into my pillow.

He laughs, "Don't be embarrassed Rose. It's good to know." He turns the lamp on, illuminating the room.

"What time is it?"

"12:01pm" he states proudly.

"Wow, eager much?" I say teasingly.

"Yes, Rose. I am eager. Eager to tell you the truth." He says sincerely.

I turn and look him in the eye. "Go ahead. I want to know."

DPOV

I tell her the same thing I told Lissa. If not, I added more details of how wrong the relationship was.

After I finish she looks worried. "Wow, I am so sorry. I can't believe I ran out like that. Without letting you explain. I guess I was just caught in the moment. I kept convincing myself that you weren't what everyone said you were. I had my times of doubt, but when Fae came in… I just assumed…" she finishes shamefully and pulls the covers up over her head.

"No, Rose, it's okay." I say as I gently pulls the covers back down. "I was what everyone though I was. A player. But I'm not anymore. I swear Rose, I like you, a lot. Ask anyone of my friends; they've noticed I've changed."

I'm really getting desperate for her to believe me.

"Give me a minute." She says. She seems to mull it over in her head for a few minutes. I really want her to believe me.

"Okay, I believe you." She looks hesitant, but I'll take what I can get.

My face brightens and I smirks. "Don't worry Rose, my player days are over." I say and lean down to place a soft kiss on her lips.
