Chapter 12

DPOV

I sat on the bed and pressed play with the remote.

What came up was not what I was expecting.

When the picture came up I recognised the room immediately.

It was the room we saved Rose out of.

Rose was sitting in the chair but she was still wearing my duster. She and Nathan seemed to be arguing and I noticed that the Rose on the screen was a lot more like herself than the one that was waiting for me in the Medical Clinic.

"Turn it off," growled Christian from in front of me and the same time Lissa said "Oh my." I wanted to answer but I was too shell-shocked to so it was Adrian who was the one that answered.

"No, as bad as it is, we need to watch this so that we can see what Rose went through so that we know what to say, and what not to say when we are helping Rose through the healing process." He said.

Lissa nodded in understanding and Christian had his hands balled up into fist that were shaking with anger.

We all fell quiet as we could hear the voices on the tape.

"Look, if you want to eat me for dinner just do it already. I'm as sick of this game as what Xavier is, Nathan. Is that you're name?" Rose said bravely.

Nathan walked over to Rose and glared at her. "Yes it is. But you shall refer to me as Master Rose."

Rose grinned and answered sarcastically. "But I prefer first name basis. If you get to call me Rose, why can't I call you Nathan? If I have to call you Master like your minions do, then you have to call me Guardian Hathaway. It's only fair."

Shook my head at the same time Lissa put her head in her hands. What were you thinking Rose? I thought. My hands gripped the comforter on my bed as I saw Nathan step closer and physically grabbed Rose.

I knew Rose had been raped, but knowing it and seeing it were two different things.

Nathan gripped Rose's jaw between his hands. "Shut up! You will call me Master, end of story!" Nathan shouted furiously.

"Fuck off I will asshole. I was just screwing you around before with the whole you call me this and I'll call you that business." Rose giggled and I could see it in her face that she was in pain but was trying to mask it.

"Oh Rose," I mumbled as I knew her comment would just be making Nathan more and more aggressive.

The next thing that happened was Nathan letting out a scream or a roar and quicker than I had ever seen any strigoi move, he slapped Rose across the face.

Hard.

Rose's chair rocked backwards and her head whipped to the side as she gasped with pain. When she looked back up and the camera focused on her face I could see the pink mark on her cheek that was now a black bruise.

"Fucking asshole," muttered Adrian.

Nathan then began to pull my Duster off of Rose, Ripping it down the centre and pulling it off of her shoulders. Rose started to struggle and started shrieking when she realised what he was doing.

"What the hell are you doing?! Get off!"

Nathan then growled as he pulled the rest of the duster off of Rose, leaving her completely naked in front of him. Rose realised she was helpless when she stopped struggling and she was unable to move and fight him off. Now I understood what Adrian had said when he told me 'She would have if she could have.'

Rose's breathing escalated as Nathan kissed down her neck and she began to hyperventilate. My hands shook as I watched Nathan Kissing Rose's collar bone and neck.

"I can't watch this," Christian said putting his face into his hands, but he couldn't block out the sound of Rose's screams and shrieks.

"Stop it!" Rose screeched.

Nathan chuckled as he ignored her and continued to kiss down to Roza's breasts where he then took her left nipple between his teeth.

"Please!" Rose begged.

I could feel myself shaking as I watched the tears roll down Roza's cheeks. Lissa, Christian and Adrian all had tears on their faces, but Lissa was sobbing loudly into Christian's chest.

I cringed. Roza never pleaded. Never. And the fact that she was now and it was doing nothing broke my heart. It shattered my own heart to see Rose go through this pain and hurt, and to have this happen to her, but I was not there to prevent it.

Nathan pulled away from Rose briefly to pull down his own pants and I saw Roza's eyes widen. She started to shake her head and began to struggle against the binds, but I don't think she realised she was doing it.

Nathan started kissing Rose again and I saw Rose trying to bite his lips, but he pulled away every time before she could.

'That's my girl' I thought with a small smile.

Nathan began to rub his erection over Rose's thighs and I felt bile in my mouth. I wanted to look away and do something, but I was frozen. I couldn't move. I was stuck watching the film that played before me, having to suffer watch my love suffer. After Nathan had finished rubbing against her he finally entered Roza and she screamed out with bloody murder in pain.

I heard Adrian give a choke like noise and Lissa turned away from the TV unable to watch anymore.

Tears poured down my loves face as Nathan thrusting in and out of her. As Rose's screamed the next words I felt my whole world shatter.

"DIMITRI! HELP ME! PLEASE!"

I felt wetness on my face and when I put a hand to my face and realised that I was crying. The bastard deserved a much more painful death than the one he was given and the only regret I had was not saving him and keeping him alive longer to torture him longer. When Rose had screamed my name Nathan slapped her sharply and yelled in her face.

"You will not scream his name while you are with me you whore! The only name I want to hear you scream is mine!"

Lissa suddenly jumped up and made a run for my attached bathroom where I could hear her throwing up in the toilet. Christian, being glad at being given an excuse to leave followed after her.

Nathan's hands started to roam Roza's body and he shouted in her face again when he twisted her breasts painfully.

"You will be my bloodwhore!"

Nathan was then moving in and out of Roza faster now and I knew from experience that he was getting closer to his orgasm.

Just before his orgasm peaked he kissed up Roza's neck and whispered something to her in her ear. I wished I could have heard what he had said, but the next thing he did was he bit into Roza's neck drinking her blood as an orgasm racked through his body.

Rose slumped forward unconscious, and Nathan rested his head against her shoulder for a moment before he kissed her and stood up.

He pulled on his clothes and then looked at the camera, so he was looking right at me.

"Hope you enjoyed the show Belikov, because I surely did enjoy the acting," he paused as he winked at me and then continued to talk. "Oh and I thought you might like to know that I won't be the only one to rape her. I know lots of people who want to and one of them is closer to her than you think. You can watch her Belikov, but you can't protect her. Soon enough she will be alone, and that's when we'll take her for him. So keep your eyes open Belikov." Nathan threatened and I growled at the TV, knowing fully well that he wouldn't be able to hear me.

The screen went black and Adrian, who other than me was the only one left in the room, turned to look at me.

"He's not serious. You know that right Dimitri?" he added seeing my face.

I stood up and walked over to the TV. I was staring at the wall when the anger came over me faster than I could stop to control it.

Blindly, my fist came up and was breaking through the wall, punching a huge hole in the centre of the wall.

Adrian jumped up and came over to me, placing a calming hand on my shoulder.

"Whoa, hey. Come over here. You need to calm down," Adrian said.

I felt my blood boil. "Calm down? Calm down?! I just watched my pregnant girlfriend get raped by a sick monster! And you want me to calm down?!" I thundered furiously.

Adrian took his hand off of my shoulder and ran it through his messy hair instead. "Well, just go see her. I know that nothing but Rose can calm you down when you're this mad."

I paced angrily around my room and I could feel Adrian watching me.

"Well then you all need to leave," I growled and Adrian flinched from my tone of voice.

"Jeez, Ok man, just chill."

Adrian sighed as he stood up and walked over to my bathroom door and knocked.

After a few seconds the door opened to a tear streaked Lissa.

I felt rage boil inside me. How could she cry? She wasn't the one who failed Rose. Who didn't protect her and their child from being taken. Who had failed to fight harder and to kill a strigoi even when they were still half asleep. She wasn't the one who had the guilt eating away at her, and the shame of not being there for Rose when she needed me most.

Sometimes I thought that the princess was a little too melodramatic at times, and spun the attention on to herself. She made out as if it was affecting her because Rose was her bond mate and they were linked.

But this time it was about Rose, and me and our child. Not her.

"What is it Adrian?" Lissa asked peering around the door.

"We need to leave, because Belikov wants to see Rose." Adrian said.

Lissa frowned. "But why do we have to leave?"

Adrian sighed. "Because it is Dimitri's room and he doesn't want us in here while his not."

Lissa nodded in understanding. "Right, well I'm going too."

I frowned. "No, I think I will go just by myself princess."

Lissa scowled back at me. "But she's my friend, and my bond mate, I have to go see her."

I pointed at myself and then pointed to the door as if Rose was standing there. "But I'm her boyfriend and the father of her child. I think I am entitled to see Rose alone." I snapped.

Lissa glared at me. "But you're also her mentor. And that outweighs the boyfriend part."

I snapped. "For Christ sake Vasilisa! You don't have to make everything about you! This time it is about Rose, not you so stop making out as if you need all the comforting and sympathy because you don't Rose does! So sorry to burst your self-righteous bubble princess, but I'm seeing Rose alone!"

Everyone stood there staring at me in shock that the famous Dimitri Belikov, known for keeping his cool, had snapped. The only one who wasn't shocked into silence was Christian and he stepped forward with the intention of hitting me in the face, but I caught his wrist before his fist came in contact with my face.

"Don't speak to Lissa like that," Christian growled. "She is my girlfriend and the last Dragomir. Show a little more respect than that Belikov."

I was fuming. I glared at the teenagers and I watched as Lissa sung to the floor tiredly as if she was worn out from a mental battle with herself. I was about to snap at her to get up and to stop being so pathetic, until she spoke.

"I'm so sorry Dimitri," she whispered and some of my anger faded.

Christian walked over to her and knelt beside her so he could wrap his arms around her. "What happened?"

"Spirit," Lissa answered. "All the stress with Rose and everything made the spirit build up, and it attacked me. That's why I snapped at Dimitri." She paused and looked up at me. "I'm so sorry. Really Dimitri."

I nodded and started to speak but something else came to my mind and I felt my face pale and stomach drop.

"Lissa?" I asked hesitantly.

She looked up. "Yes?"

"Where did the darkness go?" I demanded and she knew straight away what I was getting at and I watched as her face fell to one of horror.

"Oh god," She breathed covering her mouth.

"What is it?" Christian commanded getting in her face.

"Rose took the darkness, and it's bad for the baby…" she explained.

I turned and ran out the door before they could utter another word to me.

RPOV

I could feel that Lissa was getting mad and really angry and when I popped in her head to see if everything was ok, I saw that she and Dimitri were in an argument as to who was coming to see me. I knew that if I didn't take the darkness that she would do something drastic and irrational.

I pulled it out of her and I was surprised that I didn't realise just how much darkness there was.

I laid in the hospital bed and I could feel my body beginning to shake with the effects from the darkness. I focused on my breathing knowing that was the way to calm down, but the harder I tried, the more it grew and the harder it was to control.

I needed Dimitri. He always knew how to calm me down and knew how to help me fight the darkness off with me. Tears jumped to my eyes from the effort of trying to contain the darkness and a few spilled over my cheeks.

Suddenly my room door burst open and I looked up startled, still vibrating from the darkness inside of me. Dimitri stood there and the minute he saw me shaking he quickly closed the door and was at my side in an instant.

He slipped onto the bed beside me and pulled me flush against his body, holding my wrists in case I tried to hit him like I did last time. He bent down so he could whisper in my ear soothingly.

"You can fight it Roza. You're stronger than it. You can beat it."

He let go of my wrists and moved them so that one was stroking my waist and the other was caressing the hair away from my face.

"I-I can't…" I stuttered out, fisting my hands in his t-shirt willing myself to not turn violent against Dimitri.

"You can Roza. You've fought it before, you can fight it again. I believe in you Roza." He breathed running chased kisses up and down my neck, jaw and collar bone.

I squeezed my eyes shut and then when I opened them I cried out in surprise and fright. The room was filled with ghosts. Some of them faded in and out of existence. Others floated around sadly and others tried to reach out and touch me. I tried to scurry back in the bed to get away from them but Dimitri held me in place.

"Roza, what is it?" he asked voice filled with concern.

"G-Ghosts," I spluttered.

Dimitri's grip on my tightened and I buried my face in his shirt mumbling "Go away," over and over again.

Dimitri stayed with me and he muttered calming and soothing words in my ear, both in English and Russian and after a while I noticed that my head started to hurt with a headache. I blinked open my eyes and screamed when I saw who stood in front of me.

Mason stood motionless as he looked at me sorrowfully.

"What is it Roza?" asked Dimitri rubbing his hands up and down my back.

"M-m-mason," I stuttered and Dimitri gripped me painfully.

"His not there Roza. Send him away." Dimitri instructed.

I tried but when I did try mason just stood there more dominantly and refused to let me get rid of him.

"What? What do you want Mason?" I asked wanting nothing more than for him to leave.

Him and his little dead friends around me were giving me a killer headache and were making me feel lightheaded.

"His coming…" Mason mouthed to me.

"Who? Who is?" I asked desperately. I could feel the edges of unconsciousness pulling at me, wanting to drag me under, but I refused to go just yet.

"Your father…"

Okay…. Read and review guys! Sorry it took so long and that there is only one chapter when I promised two, but I had a bit of writers block and couldn't get rid of it. But I think in the next chapter I might skip to when Rose is 2 or 3 months pregnant? What do you think? Leave your opinions in the reviews for me! :)

I also hoped that this chapter was worth the wait. I also apologise that there was not a lot of moving forward with this chapter, but I felt that it was important to capture Dimitri's reaction to the tape of Rose getting raped. Tell me what you thought of that one as well when you review guys :)
