What have I done?

"Hey there little dhampir," I say casually as I enter her cell.

She looks up at me and her face lights up, "Hey."

"Thought you might need some company," I held up a bag of donuts that were all for Rose.

Guardian Mikhail walked up to the bars, "You can leave whenever you want, Lord Ivashkov. Rose is not expecting any more visitors for today."

No more visitors for the day? I thought Lissa was supposed to visit her everyday.

"Sure thing," I nod my head at him. He does the same and walked away.

"I thought you weren't going to visit." Rose whispers.

"Why would you think that?"

"Lissa, Christian, and Dimitri haven't been visiting. Lissa's last visit was two days ago." She curled up and rested her head on her knees.

They haven't visited. Oh god. Then I don't know how she's going to cope in the later days.

I comforted her after that and we talked for hours.

"I got to go little dhampir," The day was almost over. Once the words came out of my mouth I regretted them because her smile and her face became pained and terrified.

"Don't leave me please," She hugged me and whimpered.

"I'll visit you in your dreams little dhampir."

She cuddled her head in my chest and smiled.

"Alright, I'll see you tonight." She said happily.

"And the night after that." I added.

"Sure thing."

It pained me to see her bed for me to stay with her. I left the jail and walked to the Moroi dorms.

As soon as I closed the door I let my feelings out. How dare they do that to Rose? How dare they leave her? The punishment Rose is heading towards is death!

I stomped my way over to the cabinets and opened them to reveal all the vodka bottles I've kept. I grabbed one and downed the entire thing.

And before I knew it, I was out.

I forgot to visit her that night. The biggest mistake of my life. I knew she wouldn't want to see me after what I did. So I didn't visit her the night after that. Or the night after that.

I put my head in my hands. I had become on of them. I fell asleep and I didn't even know it.

Snow was covering the ground. Icicles hung from the ends of the branches on trees. Mountains rose at least 10 miles in the sky until nothing else could be seen because of the fog.

"Adrian?" Oh no. That couldn't be. I turned around and my suspicions were correct. Standing no more than 20 feet away was Rose herself.

She was wearing red snow pants with a red jacket with fur on the edges. She will never change.

"Rose I'm so sorry-," She lifted her hand to stop me, and I obeyed.

"I understand, Adrian. And it's okay." She smiled whole-heartedly at me.

"So what are you doing here?" I asked her.

"I just…wanted to see everyone again." She whispered and looked down.

"Have you-,"

"I've already visited Lissa and Christian." She cut in quickly.

"Wait. You sound like you're saying goodbye." This isn't making any sense.

She didn't answer straight away. Instead she looked away.

"You are." I said.

"I just wanted to see everybody one last time okay?" She said.

"Y-You can get through this. You can stay."

"I don't want to watch you guys live out your lives when I can't."

"We can find a way for you to come back."

"I don't believe in fairytales."

I didn't know what to say.

If I told her to stay, I knew she would suffer. She would have to watch us as we live on. She would watch us as we graduate, get married, have kids, grow old and die with the ones we love. It would be too much pain for her.

But if I let her go then I don't know how I could live without her. Everyday of not seeing her. Everyday of not seeing her smile.

"Look, I didn't come here to argue with you. I just want to spend this time with you." She smiled.

And I smiled back. If this is just Rose and Adrian time, then I'll make it the best. And the last.

I walked towards her and reached out my hand to her. She took it. Then we walked in the snow together, in peace, but only for a few moments before I wrapped my arm around her waist and fell back. I took her down with me and she squealed as we fell back onto the snow. I didn't know the snow was going to be so deep. We laughed together as our backs touched the bottom of the 4-foot snow hill.

"I didn't know it was that deep." She giggled. I laughed at that too.

Then I got an idea.

The snow around us disappeared and was replaced with grass and flowers. Lilies, daisies, daffodils, and roses littered the place.

"This is beautiful Adrian,"

I looked at her and saw that she was still wearing the snow clothes. Not anymore. I concentrated on her clothing and it slowly started to fade into a red sundress.

It fit her perfectly.

"Don't tell me. I'm wearing a revealing bikini." She said without looking down,

"That's where you're wrong." She looked down and smiled.

"Only you, Adrian. Only you." She then took my hand and we ran through the grass together. The sound of out feet stepping on the grass and flowers only felt like walking on cotton. It seemed like it was hours before we stopped.

"Thank you for this little dhampir." I hugged her tightly.

Then I saw something I dreaded.

The dream was starting to fade. The flowers and the mountains started to fade away into nothing.

Rose must've sensed this because she held on tighter.

"I don't want to go." She whispered into my chest.

"I don't want you to go either, little dhampir."

I looked down at her and saw that she was scared. I leaned down and moved her face towards mine.

"Adrian,"

"One last time, little dhampir. Please?" I asked her. She nodded and I felt relieved.

I leaned down and captured her lips with mine.

Every second, every millisecond that passed our kiss had gotten more passionate. Our lips moved in sync and it felt as though we were melded together.

We pulled away to breathe for air. She smiled at me one last time and a tear slid down her cheek.

"Goodbye Adrian." She said sadly.

The sun started to rise behind the fading mountains. As it did, she, too, started to fade away.

"I love you." Was the last thing I heard from her before I woke up.
