A/N: Warning: This one doesn't really have a conclusion. I'll explain afterward.
CHAPTER 5 WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
It had been a long hard year but I was finally able to track down Dimitri. The fight that insued after I confronted him had lasted a half hour. I fought with everything I had, remembering everything he had taught me since our first day of training. He was always better than me, though, and managed to pin me to the wall.
We stood there facing each other. I didn't like the look in his eyes. It was so cold and distant. He'd never looked at me like that before not even when we were fighting. He always had a warm glow in his eyes when he looked at me. Kowing what he was going to do and not wanting to look in those eyes, I turned my head giving him better exposure to my neck.
I stood there for a moment, with my arms pinned to the wall, waiting feel the wonderful high of the bite. But it never came. Instead, I felt him release my right arm and cup my cheek. He gently pushed me head until I was staring into his eyes again. The cold and distant look was gone. His eyes held only love and adoration. Tears welled in my eyes as we stared at each other.
After a few minutes, he leaned down and pressed his lips against mine. I allowed myself to kiss him back. It was more passionate and urgent than anything we'd ever shared before. It was even better than the night in the cabin. He released my other arm and twined his fingers in my hair. I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me. I broke the kiss only when I could no longer stand my need for oxygen.
Breathing hard, I rested my head on his chest with my arms still around his neck. He sli his down to my back.
"I love you." I whispered my voice cracking.
"I love you too." He replied.
I pulled away from him after a minute and looked him in the eyes.
"So where do we go from here?" I asked my voice barely above a whisper.
He rested his forehead against mine.
"Oh, Roza, I don't know." he whispered. "I don't know."
A/N: So I know that this one doesn't really have an end. The reason for that is I really want these two to have a happy ending. One without one or both of them dying. One where Rose doesn't have to help him fight his demons or become a Strigoi himself. But I don't know how that's possible. I just know that they are in love and they deserve to be happy. I really hope they can find a way.
