DICLAIMER: VA is not mine! :(

DPOV: (Dimitri)

I pushed and shoved ruthlessly at the gate, trying to open it. I watched as Adrian stared at me and I stared back at him, then I looked down at Rose who laid in his arms. He quickly turned towards the frond door, followed by a girl, the Alchemist. I yelled even louder as I watched him go inside the house.

"Roza! Roza!"

"Rose! Rose!" I heard Lissa scream standing right next to me, her hands wrapped around the bars of the gate.

I watched as Rose looked up over Adrian's shoulder and looked straight at me and then at Lissa before Adrian pushed her head back down to his chest.

"Rose! Open the gate Ivashkov! Let us in!"

"Adrian, please, we just want to see Rose!" Eddie yelled alongside me while Lissa's sobs shook her body. It was as if we weren't there. I shook and kicked the gate violently when I saw them close the door, talking Rose out of my sight. I cursed in anger and ran my hands through my hair pulling at it in frustration.

If Adrian thought that he would keep me away from Rose he was wrong, very, very wrong. After months of suffering and pain, of not knowing where or how Rose was, I wasn't about to give up just because of him. We had found her and there wasn't a thing in this world or any other, that would stop me.

I turned to see Lissa slide down to the ground, burying her face in her hands as she cried. Christian went to her and pulled her into his arms.

"It's going to be okay Lissa. We've found her, we're here."

"No Christian, didn't you see? They're not going to let us see her and they have a point, after everything we did. I don't know Christian, but Rose is not okay. I can feel it, I don't know how but I can. She was in his arms Christian, when has Rose ever permitted that?" I could hear the panic clearly in Lissa's voice. Panic that I was feeling as well.

What Lissa said hit me like knives and I knew her words were true. I had to see her and I had to see her now. I looked up and down the gate, thinking what about what I could do. My eyes crossed a part of the gate, I was exactly what I needed. The gate was electronic, that meant it either had a button or a switch somewhere. I looked closer at the gate around us and found what I was looking for.

"Eddie, give me a boost." I said, calculating the height of the gate.

"What are you going to do?" Lissa asked me.

"I found a way to let us in." I answered her.

"One the count of three. One, two, three!"

I grabbed hold onto the bar and pushed myself up. Once at the other side, I let go and landed on my feet. I was tempted to walk straight to the front door, but I knew that would be unfair to the others, they wanted to see Rose as much as I did. I walked to the other side of the gate and there it was. I pulled on the lever, waiting for anything to happen. The gate opened, leaving the entrance wide open.

At the sound of the gate opening out came Abe Mazur and the look on his face told he everything. He was not glad to see us.

"How dare you come here!" He shouted at me as he practically ran down the steps. In that moment I understood why everyone was scared of him. His anger was intimidating, making him seem much bigger than he truly was. It was obvious that he was angry and it radiated off him. But not even he was going to stop me, not when we've gotten this far.

"I warned you in the beginning that no one, not you, not any one, was going to stop me. We won't leave without seeing Rose." I said to him calmly, trying to rein in my anger the best I could, thinking it was the best way to get what we wanted.

"Rose doesn't need you, she is perfectly fine without you."

"Please Mr. Mazur, please, let us see her." Lissa said to him, her eyes shining with newly formed tears.

"I'm sorry Princess, but I can not allow that. Rose left the Academy for a reason and I'm sure all of you know what that reason is. It would do Rose no good to see you."

"Don't you think that is for Rose to decide?" I said to him. I saw how his anger escalated even further.

"I know what is best for my daughter, and I am absolutely sure that you will only cause her more pain and I am not willing to see my daughter suffer like she has in the past."

"I'm sorry, but I am not leaving without seeing Rose."

I could see that he was about to say something but I didn't stay long enough to hear him. I sprinted towards the door before he could get in my way and, thank God, it was unlocked. I barged into the house and looked around, my eyes landing at the staircase. I ran up the stairs, not waiting for the commotion behind me to catch up. I heard noise coming from one of the closed doors and ran to it without thinking about it twice. Life would never prepare me for what I saw.

"You have to calm down Rose! Relax, all this tension is not good for you!" The girl, the alchemist, said to her as she pushed Rose down on the bed.

The room practically looked like a hospital room only a bit more cheerful. There were machines everywhere, but what truly caught my attention was Rose. She was laying on the bed, shaking slightly and was extremely pail, so pail that it beat a moroi's pail skin.

"What are you doing here?" I heard someone ask me, probably Adrian, but I couldn't bring myself to care. I felt cold and dead inside, I was in shock.

"Roza…" I heard myself say out loud without even thinking about it. When her eyes landed on me, it was as if my heart had stopped beating. I watched as her eyes widened slightly in surprise, locking on mine.

"No Rose! Come on breath, you have to calm down!" The girl said to her as Rose looked away from me and stared wheezing, her chest coming up and down rapidly, trying to fill her lungs with air. Behind me I heard the others enter the room and stand behind me, having the same reaction I had. I walked towards Rose, wanting to be near her as much as possible, only to be stopped by the girl.

"No! Stay where you are, give her space!" she said to me as she connected oxygen tubes to her nose.

"Adrian… I … just…" I heard her say, her voice desperate.

"Rose…" Lissa spoke and walked next to me.

"Lissa-" was all Rose said before she stared coughing and gasping for air.

"Adrian! Hold her down, I'll have to sedate her."

Adrian grabbed her shoulders and laid her flat on the bed, throwing all the pillows aside. Meanwhile her breathing only got worst.

"Hurry Savannah!" he shouted.

"Rose take deep breaths, just like the doctor taught you. You have to relax." He said to her.

"Adrian, there here… Lissa… they found…us…"

"Shh Rose, don't speak. Everything will be okay."

"No… Adrian…"

Savannah came running next to her, holding a syringe in her hand.

"Adrian hold her down."

I heard as Rose cried out in pain as the needle bit into her arm. Slowly the effects of the medication took over and her breathing went back to normal, she insisted on talking.

"Adrian… I told you… so… they came…" Those were her last words before she succumbed to sleep.

Immediately after she fell asleep Adrian turned around and charged straight at me and slamming me against the wall, taking me by surprise.

"How dare you come! Do you see what you caused?" he yelled at me.

In that moment anger got the best of me. I grabbed him by his shirt and slammed him against the wall just like he had done to me.

"You don't know what we've gone through looking for Rose! You are no one to tell me that I can't see her!"

"I have all the right to deny her to you. You don't know what she's been through because of you, because of all of you! Who do you guys think you are? What right do you guys have to come and disrupt the little peace she has?"

I let go of him, his words hitting me like a bucket of ice cold water. He made me realize that maybe he was right. What if we were only hurting Rose with our presence? What if she was better without us? Without me? That was the last thing I wanted to do, but I knew I was a selfish person. I couldn't live without Rose, I would fight for her, I would do what it took to have her with me.

"Rose… I am so sorry." I heard Lissa say. I turned and saw that she was kneeling on the floor next to Rose's bed, her hand in hers. Tears streamed down her cheeks. Abe finally let his presence known, I realized he hadn't said anything so far. I looked at him as he looked at his daughter and the pain and sorrow was evident on his face. I walked towards the bed and took Rose's other hand in mine. Just knowing that I was here, next to her, touching her, formed a knot in my throat. I looked at her and I felt a bang in my chest. She was pail and her eyes had dark circles surrounded her eyes. Her cheeks damp with tears, and it killed me to know that I was probably the cause for her pain.

"Oh Roza." I said, bringing her hand to my lips. Tears fell down my face, tears that I could no longer hold in anymore. Seeing her this way made the guilt in me alive.

"It'll be best if you leave." Abe said, his voice serious but the anger gone. I knew that if we had any chance at seeing Rose again we'd better listen to him.

With one last look and kiss to my Roza I stood up and walked towards Abe, looking straight and directly at him. Making sure to let him know that I was serious.

"We'll leave, but, we will come back until we can speak to Rose."

What he said surprised me.

"I won't stop you unless Rose doesn't want to see you-" Adrian cut him off.

"But Abe!" she said, his face looked astonished.

"Adrian it's Rose's decision, I will have to respect whatever she says. As I was saying, if Rose wants to see you guys then she will but if she doesn't I will stop you. Rose's happiness is my priority and if she wants to see you, I won't stop her."

"Thank you." I said to him sincerely. I looked at the others and nodded them towards the door.

"We should leave."

"No!", Lissa screamed as she cried, " I want to stay with her, please, let me stay."

Christian walked towards her and pulled her into his arms.

"We'll come back Lissa and next time Rose will be able to talk to us, but we have to leave, Rose needs her rest." he said to her gently and stirred her towards the door.

With one last look at Abe, Adrian, and the Alchemist and finally at my Roza, I left the room following the others while my heart shattered into a million pieces knowing that I was leaving the love of my life behind.

Hope you guys liked and till next time. Pretty please REVIEW, don't forget they make me EXTREMELY happy! Bye bye! :):):)
