After Frostbite

Rosemarie Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov

Good Night

Dimitri was on patrol duty that night. And his duty happened to be on the floor on which Rose's room was. He wasn't sure to call it fortunate or unfortunate. He walked down the hallway, his eyes and ears taking in everything. It was late at night, if you went by Moroi schedule.

Suddenly, there was a movement. Dimitri turned quickly. The door to Rose's room was slightly opened. Then, a second later, it opened completely and a wild looking Rose came out. Her dark hair was a mess. She was in her PJs. Dimitri couldn't help but ogle at her.

Stop starting at her, Belikov, he commanded at himself.

"Rose?" he said.

She jumped, startled. Then Dimitri noticed tears on her cheeks.

"Rose what," before he could finish his sentence she quickly jumped in his arms.

Her sobs echoed through the empty hallway.

"Hey," he started gently, "what is it, Roza?"

She looked up at him, and her eyes told him everything.

"It's okay, they are not coming back." Dimitri kissed her forehead and led her back to her room.

"I see them everywhere. I feel like they are coming for me." she whispered as she sat down on her bed, Dimitri next to her.

Dimitri hugged her close.

"I know, I understand."

"Will it get better?" she mumbled.

He'd never seen this side of Roza. He was so used to the witty, sneaky, and bubbly Rose. Somehow, Dimitri felt even more closer to her.

"Yes," he said quietly. Then he began to say something in his native language. It was song.

Dimitri paused, "Sleep, Rose."

"Stay with me?"

He nodded, "I will."

Dimitri continued the song. With in minutes, Rose's breathing began to calm down. Dimitri gently laid her down, and kissed her head again.

"Good night, my Roza."
