Thank you, Thank you for all the wonderful reviews. I love hearing from you!
Thank you for those who have been guessing on identity of the Master. So far no one has guessed correctly!
I do have to apologies for some spelling mistakes that in the last chapter that has been pointed out to me. Sorry but I am only human and mistakes to happen.
So here is the next chapter.
DPOV
I arrived at the infirmary with a heavy heart and a short fuse. Just the thought of Roza yet again lying in the infirmary was driving me crazy. Other guardians and infirmary staff saw me coming; moving out of my way not wanting to receive my wrath first hand. I passed the nurses station heading for the room Rose was last in.
"Guardian Belikov Dimitri" I strong voice called.
Turning around I saw Abe staring back at me. I walked quickly over to him extending my hand to him.
"It is nice to see you again Zemy" I greeted him.
Abe took my hand shaking it "It has been a while and I hoped it would have been under different circumstances" dropping his hand to rest back at his side.
"How is she doing?" I asked trying not to show my emotions, after all Abe is Rose father, to which I still can't believe but it does explain a lot.
Looking down from my face you could see the worry and concern "She is stabilized, the bullet was a clean shot through but it hit the main vein causing the blood lose. It was lucky that you got her here and the Princess not far behind otherwise…. I don't think she would have made it."
"Can I see her?" I asked flatly.
"Yes Yes of course, Janine and the Princess are with her. Both of them not able to leave her side." Abe stated before turning walking down the hall.
I quickly followed and about 5 rooms down from where we were standing we reached the room that Roza was in. Abe knocked lightly on the door before opening it. Abe walked through holding the door open for me to come in. The moment my eyes hit Rose sleeping form I stopped dead in my tracks, my breath came in gasps as my brain took in what I was seeing.
Rose was lying on her back on the bed with an IV bag of fluids being pumped into her left arm and an IV bag of blood being pumped into her right arm. There was a heart monitor attached to her that was sounding a nice rhythmic sound in the background. She always has been a fighter. Her skin was really pale against her brown hair; she looked like she had all the life sucked out of her. I could feel me legs being to wobble and my heart grew heavy seeing her like this.
"Janine, someone is here to see Rose" Abe announced.
Guardian Hathaway turned in her seat, her gaze lifting to mine; you could see the tear marks on her face from when she had been crying. She stood moving quietly over to me.
"Thank you, thank you so much" she said looking me straight in the eye. You could see how difficult it was for her. The great Janine Hathaway saying thank you, she was always a proud stubborn woman.
I wasn't sure to why she was saying thank you but I gave a small nod as my response. Guardian Hathaway then continued walking into the open arms of Abe. I sat down on the seat that Guardian Hathaway was just on taking Rose hand in mine; rubbing small circles on the back of her hand. She wasn't cold but wasn't warm to touch either, more clammy. I dropped my head in shame; if only I was next to her I would have been able to protect her.
I looked crossed the bed to see the sleeping form of the Princess. Her head was on the bed and her hand holding onto Rose. The Princess looked so worn out, her appearance a bit rustled but I was not going to tell her that, plus I doubt I looked any better. Rose and the princess are really lucky to have each other.
There was a knock at the door; both Guardian Hathaway and I went straight into alert mood. I stood and walked quickly over to the door gesturing for Janine to back away. She pushed Abe behind her towards the Princess with her stake in her hand ready. I gave a small nod before I opened the door slightly to see Alberta on the other side with her hands up.
"WOW easy there Belikov, I just came to see how she was doing and to speak with Guardian Hathaway" Alberta quickly rushed.
"Sorry still on high alert" I answered back flatly. I knew it wasn't Alberta fault that Rose got shot but she was head guardian after all.
I opened the door wider letting her into the room. Alberta's mouth hung open as she saw the sight of Rose in the bed, shaking her head in disbelief.
Turning to Janine and Abe, Alberta asked hesitantly "May I have a word outside?" gesturing her head back towards the door.
Janine and Abe gave each other a glance and reluctantly moved towards the door, Alberta following behind them closing the door. I walked back over to the bed and leant down and kissed Roza forehead. I held my breathe for a moment then whispered to her in Russian.
"WHAT" I heard Abe's voice shout loudly that it woke the princess up.
I stood up straight my guardian mask on "Stay with Rose" I said harshly as I walked towards the door, exiting the room. There stood Abe and Janine with anger on there faces glaring at Alberta.
"What do you mean that you have not been able to find any trace of the shooter?" Guardian Hathaway spat with venom dripping off the words.
My body stiffened, they haven't been able to find the shooter. My hands curled into fist as I tried to keep my composure. I noticed Alberta registered my presence out of the corner of her eye.
"I am truly sorry for what has happened to Rose, I still have a team out there following any leads they can find." Alberta voice was pleading.
"Guardian Petrov that is my only child lying in there hooked up to those machines, my little girl. You better find that son of a bitch that pulled that trigger before I do otherwise the rumors about me won't do me justice." Abe spat harshly and I swear I felt the air around us go cold.
Alberta took a step back, looking over at Janine. "I am sorry Alberta, you are a dear friend but I will not interfere if Abe chooses to take matters into his own hands. He is a very protective man." She spoke with an edge to her voice.
Alberta sighed shaking her. "You didn't hear this from me. I cannot tell you what happened today as I am still in disbelief. Someone high up is trying to keep this situation low key. I have been given orders from court to have this matter closed in 42 hours solved or not."
I could feel the angry starting to rise higher in my body as I clenched my fist tighter.
"None of the investigation team has been able to find a shell casing at the stadium from the shooters gun, so we know he is a pro. No one saw anyone out of the ordinary but what is even stranger is that the wards were still up so it is someone here." Alberta whispered the last part.
Janine gasped with shock; Abe looked like he was going to have steam coming out of his ears but that was all I need to hear too send my rage into overload. With my fists clenched tight I turned to the nearest wall and punched it hard. A loud crack echoed through the hall with all three of the jumping in fright.
RPOV
I heard the click of the gun being cocked and I froze on the spot, not even seconds later I felt this burning hot sensation in my shoulder, to what I presume was the bullet ripping through my body. After all the training that the academy has taught me, they never really prepared us for guns. Well lets face it guns and bullets wont kill a strigoi so it wasn't high on the too teach list.
The force of the bullet slammed my body forward into the door in front of me with my hand automatically covering my stomach trying desperately to protect my baby from the impact. My shoulder felt like it was on fire as I could feel my blood running down my arm to the ground below. I pushed my body off the door turning around waiting for the next strike to end my life but it never came.
So many things were running through my mind about Lissa, my friends, my parents but mostly about Dimitri. I haven't told him yet that he was going to be a father and now I might never get the chance too. If I was ever going to be able to kiss his soft lips? To have his warm strong hand wrapped around me? To tell him that I loved him. I could feel my body going into shock as my legs caved out from underneath me dropping me to the ground.
I could feel more and more blood running from my body as my eyes started growing really heavy. I willed my eyes to start open but I was loosing the battle with my own body. I closed my eyes giving into my body's demands hoping that Lissa and Dimitri knew how much I loved them. I was about to give in completely when I felt a shot of electricity run through me and strong hands on my body.
"Rose Roza Roza come back to me Roza" I faintly heard instantly knowing Dimitri voice.
"Dimitri" I whispered out before my body gave out completely sending me into blackness.
Still RPOV
"Mummy please, just a little longer?" this heavenly voice spoke.
I looked down to see a young boy about the age of 5 maybe 6 staring back at me with his big dark chocolate eyes. He had my nose and ears with brown shoulder length hair that was tied at the nape of his neck. He was a splitting image of Dimitri.
It was then that I heard a guy laugh. Looking up I noticed that I was in a gym; from the looks of things it was the courts gym. My eyes found the source of the laugh coming from none other then my very own Russian God. He was lying on the mats with his shirt off looking ever so fine.
I must be dreaming.
I looked back down at the boy then back to Dimitri. Dimitri got up coming over to me kissing my lightly on my forehead placing one hand on my stomach "How are my two ladies doing today?" he asked.
I looked down at my stomach to see that I had a small baby bump; I was pregnant with our second child. I looked up into Dimitri eyes to see him curiously looking at me when I remembered he asked me a question.
Yep. Definitely dreaming.
"We are going fine, don't worry so much" I replied. Dimitri just stood their staring at me looking to see if I was telling him the truth.
Dimitri lifted his hand to caress my cheek "Roza I am aloud to worry, you are giving me another precious gift, our daughter growing inside of you. I know that the morning sickness has been a bit rough on you lately."
"Mum Dad pleassssse" our son asked again almost whining. I giggled a little hearing his voice.
"He gets that from you" Dimitri chuckled and I slapped him playfully on his arm.
I looked down at my son "I think you have had enough for one day" I stated.
My son made the whining sound again "But mum how am I going to be the best guardian if I don't practice? Plus I won't to be able to protect my sister from other boys." He asked adding a statement at the end.
I tilted my head toward Dimitri who was avoiding eye contact with me like he didn't say a thing look on his face, he has already got our son on his side as the over protect brother.
Shaking my head "Ok but 5 more minutes only, after that we must go home"
The boy jumped up and down before grabbing Dimitri hand leading him back towards the mats "Come on dad" I couldn't help but chuckle.
The dream started to fade and I heard this loud crack sound coming from around me. I opened my eyes quickly only having to shut them again from the brightness of the lights. Trying again but opening slowly I managed to see a door well what looked like a door my vision was very fuzzy. Blinking a few times my eyes began to focus as I moved my head to the side looking for anyone in the room.
"Rose Rose" I heard Lissa soft worried voice reach my ears, the bond came through to me hitting me hard. Lissa was sad, worried and afraid. It was with the last emotion that got my body to react, sitting straight up in the bed looking round for the threat as I started pulling at the IV drips and anything else they had I hooked up too.
"Get these off me?" I croaked, my throat very scratchy and dry.
"Rose… NO Rose…. Im fine" Lissa tried again reaching for my hands to stop me. I pushed her hands away looking for something I could use in the room as a weapon.
"No, I need to fight" I squeaked out again swallowing hard trying to lubricate my throat.
Lissa kept reaching for my hand but she couldn't get a good grip on my wrist "DIMITRI" she screamed out.
I looked up to see the door being flung open; Dimitri and my parents along with Alberta rushed into the room. Dimitri was the first to reach me, jumping up onto the bed straddling my legs grabbing my wrist to stop me pulling out or at what ever I could.
"Let me go, let me go" I screamed this time shaking my head.
"Rose sssshhhh it is alright, calm down" but I kept struggling in his grip fighting to get free.
"Lissa, Dimitri" I screamed again.
"Roza please sssshhhh stop, look at me. Roza look at me. Roza смотрят на меня. Моя любовь пожалуйста остановитесь, успокаиваются, ваш сейф моя любовь, я имею Вас, ваш сейф." He spoke the last part in Russian soothing me as I stopped struggling against his hold. He always knew that I loved it when he spoke Russian to me. Dimitri released my wrist staring into my eyes with pure worry and concern showing. I couldn't stop the tears that started falling down my cheek as I felt Dimitri strong comforting arms wrap around me. I leaned into his embrace grabbing hold of his shirt in a death grip not wanting to let go.
ABE POV
WHAT! Someone here wanted my little girl dead. Like fuck that is going to happen. I have already got 5 of my guardian coming from Russia to guard Rose around the clock until the shooter has been caught. Her safety and well-being is everything to me right now. Who ever this prick is, he better run and hide because if I ever find him he is going to pay. I will torture him for even thinking he could get away with shooting Rose. Anger was raging through my body when I loud crack filled the hall.
Looking to my right Dimitri had his fist in the wall, pulling his hand back he placed both hands against the wall leaning towards it with his head hung low in frustration. The wall had a hole in it with 2 big cracks, one leading all the way up to the roof and the other to the floor. I have never seen or heard of Dimitri acting like this; he was always in control. I knew he cared for Rose seeing he is her mentor but with that act he is acting like he failed to protect her like a bother to a sister or…a lover.
"DIMITRI" Lissa voice screamed from inside the room.
We all rushed towards the door, Dimitri being closest flung the door open and entered the room first. The Princess was struggling to control a very outraged Rose.
I felt helpless as a father as I watch Dimitri jump onto the bed to restrain Rose. I felt Janine by my side gripping onto my shirt sobbing as she watched Rose. I brought her closer to my body wrapping an arm around her waist.
It was only a few months ago that I ran into Janine in Russia, it was like the sparks never left us from when we were younger. I never stopped loving her over these long years. Don't get me wrong I am a man and I have found other woman attractive but no other has held my heart.
Janine was young when she fell pregnant with Rose and I knew that she wasn't the type of person to settle down to become a housewife. So it really didn't surprise me when she took off leaving me only a letter. Looking at Rose now I knew that I should have gone after Janine and made her see reason, if not then at least for me to be apart of Rose life.
Dimitri was trying to talk to Rose but she kept struggling against him, if he couldn't get her to calm down and stop I was afraid we were going to have to sedate her.
"Roza please sssshhhh stop, look at me. Roza look at me. Roza смотрят на меня. Моя любовь пожалуйста остановитесь, успокаиваются, ваш сейф моя любовь, я имею Вас, ваш сейф." Dimitri started speaking in English but then switched to Russian for the last part.
Rose stopped struggling straight way once she heard his voice speaking Russian, you could easily tell it soothed her. This obviously wasn't the first time he spoke to her like this. Rose began to cry as he wrapped his arms around her holding her tight to his chest as his head turned looking at me.
I narrowed my eyes at Dimitri as he held my daughter in his arms. Dimitri was fully aware that I understood every word that he just spoke. He has a lot of explaining too do.
Master POV
Today was the day sweet Rosemarie became a guardian, she will remember this day forever, my special gift waiting for the right moment to strike.
I can almost see Guardian Belikov standing there furiously debating in his head to leave his charge, his duty & oath and rush to his soul mate's side or to stay. *laughs out loud* Always so protective of the ladies in his life, sentimental fool just like his mother.
"Master Master" one of my many loyal followers burst through my bedroom door.
Sitting up from my bed I hissed at the servant "Can't you see that I am busy" my hand reaching for the blood whore lying naked on the bed.
"Sorry Master, I thought to let you know that your gift was opened" the servant dropped to his knees in surrender.
A grant smile came across my face "And?"
"And the academy is currently in lock down. From our inside source Rose is currently in the infirmary. She lost a lot of blood but otherwise she is unharmed as you requested." The servant clearly said.
"Belikov" I asked narrowing my eyes.
A smile crept across his face "As you predicted Master, our source confirmed he is so enraged that no one is game enough to go near him. He is angered that he could not protect her and is furious at himself for being helpless, also that there is no lead to that has done it."
"Good that will teach Rose to say no to me. Now leave Im in the mood to celebrate." I seductively responded rolling on top of the blood whore settling myself in-between her legs as I leant down taking her breast in my mouth biting her as I slammed myself into her, hearing her whimper.
I couldn't help but to throw my head back and laugh as I pumped my cock in and out of this blood whore. Rose will be mine.
Roza смотрятнаменя. Моялюбовьпожалуйстаостановитесь, успокаиваются, вашсейфмоялюбовь, яимею Вас, ваш сейф = My love please stop calm down, your safe my love I have got you, your safe
So how did we like that chapter?
I know some readers are worried about this story but please it is a Rose and Dimitri story. Love is never easy but does prevail.
I know everyone wants Rose to tell Dimitri about the baby but it wouldn't be much of a story if I did that as there are so many stories like that out there.
My story will be different you just have to be patient (as possible as you can) and keep reading, this story is different and will explain everything over time.
Please review and tell me what you think.
