Previously on Breaking Her Walls
"Wake up! Please my milaya, wake up," I pleaded, "Open your eyes!" I was now cradling her head in my lap and I did something that I will never regret.
Then my whole world went black.

The guardians tried to drag me away from my beautiful Roza, but I refused and held onto her with an iron tight grip. Without even thinking I felt my magic running through me into her, but it wasn't like healing her are and the wound on her head. I could feel myself being drained as my spirit poured into hers; I couldn't live without her, she was my soul mate. That was a hundred percent clear I finally think the guardians got what I was doing because they backed off me, but I think that it might of gotten through to them when Adrian was screaming, "HE'S HEALING HER , LEAVE THEM ALONE!".
Suddenly I felt the most amazing thing in the world; I found her heartbeat, but it was slow and soft. That was enough for me so I stopped healing. I slouched forward but before I could pass out I felt a hot cold sensation run through me as my strength returned. I looked up to see Adrian standing over me along with Christian, Eddie, and Mason, all looking sad and terrified.
"Thank you," I told him and he gave me a small smile before leaning down next to me. The others did the same as I just watched Rose begging for her eyes to wake up; Christian put a comforting hand on my shoulder and gave it a little squeeze, but that's when the questions started.
"What happened," guardian Alto, Stan, asked us looking down at Rose.
"We were up in the mountains when we were attacked by five strigoi, and we didn't have any weapons so they took us here," Eddie said sheepishly. I think he felt bad that Rose had a knife, a small stake, and a nail filer with her and she wasn't expecting this either. Stan nodded.
"We already know that Rosemarie was taken in her room after being knocked out in her room by her other ski," you're kidding right? This girl did not have luck with skis outside the slopes. "So what happened here?" he asked me. This time I answered.
"I woke up first, and a strigoi named Isaiah came in saying that she had twelve hours to choose to be turned or he would kill all of us," I started to get a little chocked up when I talked about this so Christian continued for me.
"I woke up next, but Rose seemed off in her own world by then so she wouldn't talk to us. Apparently the strigoi didn't search her for weapons because she was slowly getting her flex cuffs off with her knife," he pointed to the knife in the corner of the room where Isaiah had thrown it. "She worked on that for about eight hours, but it was enough to remove her cuffs without making a sound so the strigoi didn't hear it. After she freed us all she gave Mason a mini stake while she led us to the living room. There we were surrounded by twenty strigoi." He stopped abruptly. "What happened to Samuel Hathaway?"
"That is a discussion for another time," Alberta said joining us, "What happened next?"
"Twenty strigoi attacked us and Rose gave me a nail filer that she had in her pocket," Eddie said holding up the small weapon, "Mason and I attacked them while Christian tried to distract the ones we were fighting, and Adrian and Dimitri were trying to find a way out."
"We opened the door, burning one strigoi, and I ran out the door followed by everyone except these two," Adrian said. Alberta turned to me.
"I-Isaiah grabbed me, and Rose was fighting off ten other strigoi. Or well, seven by the time Isaiah told them to retreat. He told Rose that if she didn't awaken that he would kill me…" my voice had cracked at the end and the guys and put a hand on my arms supportively. "She agreed but at the last minute she picked back up her knife and stabbed him. She missed his heart, but I think she was just trying to get away not kill him. He was too fast and was about to kill me, but Rose came back and jumped behind him covering his eyes."
"She did what?" Stan asked clearly shocked, but I just continued.
"She told me to run and I made it to the door when-," I couldn't say anything after that because I had burst out crying and lifted Roza closer to me. I would never let her out of my sight again; I never knew that she felt the same way until today. It hurt that I almost lost her today. Everyone was trying to comfort me, but I felt some pressure down at my hand. I shifted my eyes to the direction of the pressure, and saw that Rose's hand had moved to mine, even if her eyes weren't awake yet. The others must have sensed this because they all stopped and looked at Rose.
"Roza?" I asked her caressing her cheek, "My milaya are you awake?" she squeezed my hand a little more in response. That brought a huge smile to my face as I kissed her cheek.
"Stan gets all of them into the vans, we leave in an hour," Alberta told Stan. He nodded and led us all out to the vans. I picked up Rose and cradled her in my arms and we took the very back seat so that I could lay down with her. About an hour later we were boarding a plane back to Idaho, I was surprised that both my uncle was there and not Janine. Did she not care enough about her daughter to come see her after she was kidnapped? I guess not.
My uncle ran to Adrian first, when we got on the plane, and started babbling at a million miles per hour.
"What happened? Are you okay? Any injuries?" he babbled to Adrian.
"Were all fine fathers," he tried to calm him down then he turned to me. He froze a little bit when he saw that I was holding Rose.
"I'm taking it this was the girl I was supposed to meet last night?" I simply nodded as I set her down in one of the seats before giving my uncle a hug as well. After Adrian repeated the story to my uncle he had a sort of amused smile on his face. "Did she really jump on his back and cover his eyes with her hands?" we all nodded and he gave a slight chuckle before looking serious. "So are you two bound?" I shrugged my shoulders.
"I approve, by the way," I looked at him with confusion, "anyone who is willing to die for her people like that, and especially at this age is most welcome to date you." My mouth literally dropped as he chuckled.
"You- you approve of Roza?" he smiled and nodded again.
"Awesome, I met standards," said a voice from beside me. I turned to see Rose looking at me. Her brown eyes looked at me with confusion, happiness, and love. She turned back to my uncle.
"Lord Ivashkov, she greeted him formally. He put his hand up to stop her.
"No formalities Rosemarie, call me Nathan. You are dating my nephew after all," Roza blushed a little bit and looked at me before turning back to my uncle.
"Only if you call me Rose," she told him and he laughed before turning to me and leaning down so that her head rested on my chest. I kissed her on her forehead as she looked back up at me.
"You," she told me, "better have either rested or be planning on closing your eyes in the next ten seconds or you can forget about dinner." I was shocked by this and so was everyone else before they all burst out laughing. I blushed and she smirked at me before closing her eyes and leaning back into me.
"I wouldn't disobey her nephew if you know what's good for you," my uncle said between laughs. I growled at all of them before laying down to get into a more comfortable position and closing my eyes.
Npov (Nathan Ivashkov)
I watched as my nephew leaned down and fell asleep with Rose snuggled in next to him. She completed him I had realized earlier. I still couldn't believe that she had gone back to save my nephew and had died doing it. True Dimitri brought her back, but after hearing this I knew that she would always put Dimitri first. Before I had my doubts, but those all vanished after hearing what both of them had gone through. Her earlier comment about him resting was still fresh in my mind, and I couldn't help the smile it brought to my face. I looked back to see that my son and the rest of his friends were now asleep.
My phone started ringing and it was a number that I never wanted to here. It was Aleksander Ivashkov, my well hated brother, and the father of Dimitri.
"What do you want Aleksander?" I growled at him, ever since Dimitri told me what he had done to Olena I had hated him.
"I came to check in on my bastard of a son," he replied in a darkly amused voice.
"If he's such a bastard than why are checking in on him?" he chuckled.
"Well if you were visiting your son don't you think that you would call him?" I froze in my spot. He was visiting? Did that mean that he was at the ski lodge? "That's right brother dear, I am at the ski lodge right now. Waiting for your arrival." Then he hung up as I just sat there frozen in place.
I heard a light whimpering and saw that Dimitri was tossing in his sleep. Rose immediately bolted from her position as she started to calm Dimitri down, and I couldn't help but watch. He was clinging to her for his life as he sobbed into her chest since she was now at the bottom. She stroked his hair and began to sing him a soft song.
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down, you'll be alright
No one can hurt you now, come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Her voice was soft and comforting like an angel's, so much that I almost closed my eyes. After a few more verses I saw that Dimitri had closed his eyes once again and was softly snoring. I looked at Rose and she smiled sheepishly at me. I gave her another smile, but before she fell asleep she looked at me questioningly.
"Is everything alright Nathan?" Should I tell her?
"No, everything is most certainly not alright."
Oh my GOD! Dimitri's father is visiting. Not good, not good, at all. He is going to flip! What about Rose? How will she handle this? I don't know about you guys but I love the song "Safe and Sound" by Taylor Swift, and I just so be happening to listening to it as I was posting this chapter so…
Again Happy Easter!
Love to all hope the Easter Bunny did good on this chapter ;)
