Chapter Seventeen: Solution

I was so relieved to see Abe and his men. My leg was hurting like hell, and I was really light-headed from all the blood rushing to my head. I had absolutely no idea how they planned on getting me out . . . Abe walked over and leaned in to see me.

"Oh my God Rose! Little Girl, you look horrible!" he exclaimed.

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Old Man." I replied with a scowl.

He looked away from me. "Pavel! Get over here and bring a few others. We need to get her out now." he said, trying to keep the panic out of his voice. Was it really that bad? I took deep breaths to calm myself.

"Yes sir!" Pavel replied. He was at the car with three others in a matter of seconds. "Um, sir? How are we going to get her out?" he asked.

"We'll have to use the Jaws of Life." Abe replied. "Go get them." he added.

"Yes sir." one of the other guardians replied. He returned moments later. I must've looked scared because Dimitri reached over and grasped my hand.

"Rose, while Pavel gets you out I want you to stay extremely still. Stay calm, we'll get you out as fast as we can." Abe said.

"Okay." I replied in a determined voice. I squeezed Dimitri's hand a little harder. They started cutting away at the car, and I'd occasionally wince when it would jostle my leg. It seemed to take forever, until Dimitri spoke.

"Roza, open your eyes. It's over." he said. I hadn't even realized how tightly shut my eyes were. Dimitri carefully unbuckled my seatbelt, and I held back a scream. However, I couldn't hold back the small yelp that escaped my lips when my leg fell forward.

"Someone get her some painkillers!" Abe shouted.

"Right away, sir." Pavel replied. He returned with Tylenol 3.

"Really? Tylenol 3? I'm gonna be sooooooooo out of it . . ." I stated with an eye-roll. Once they had me sitting, they handed me water and the pill. I sighed, and took the pill.

Dimitri POV

I swear to God, once the Tylenol kicked in, I'd never seen anything funnier than what I'm seeing now. It was a lot funnier than drunk Rose. She was completely out of it. She was stumbling around, trying to walk. Seeing her struggle, I walked over to pick her up.

"Oooooh! I get a lift!" she said happily.

I chuckled. "Yes, you do. I guess you're just special." I replied.

"The Dimitri Express is accepting passengers! All aboard! Choo choo!" she said, a stupid grin on her face.

I bit back laughter. "You're the only passenger, Roza. This is your lucky day, I guess."

"Weeeeeeee!" she squealed. I made it to the car, where our cuts would be treated. My head was pretty cut up, but I had nothing seriously wrong with me. Rose was a different story. She had a long, painful looking slice going up her arm. Her face was cut up too, but the worst of her injuries was definitely her leg. It was twisted, and the bone also snapped. It seems to me that Rose always manages to get hurt. Usually, she's also the one with the most injuries. She was definitely accident prone. I smiled indulgently at her; this person in front of me, athough usually cut up or bruised, was the most beautiful person I have ever met. She had inner- and outer-beauty. She looked adorable with that grin on her face . . .

I really don't want her to go to Victor alone. I get panicky every time I think about her going to face him all by herself. I wish that there was some way for me to go with her, but I know that I can't. Lissa's sister will be killed if I do. It's selfish, but I would rather Lissa's sister be killed, although I'd never admit it to Rose. She'd probably bite my head off!

"Rose, I'll be right back okay?" I said.

"Okay . . ." she replied dreamily. I chuckled and walked over to talk to Abe.

"Abe? I need to talk to you about something." I said.

"Yes?" he asked. I grabbed Rose's phone out of my pocket. Rose had handed it to me before they got her out of the car. I went through the messages until I found the ones from Victor.

"Read this." I replied. He nodded and began to read.

When he finished, his face was full of anger and disbelief. "That bastard! How dare he say this to my daughter!"

"I know. I'm not happy about it either."

"What is she going to do?" Abe asked.

"She wants to go. I don't want her to, but no one can change her mind. She's very adamant about doing this for Lissa." I replied.

"What does he even want with her?"

"I don't know. I wish I could stop her from going but Rose is too stubborn."

"Yes, she's exactly like Janine when it comes to stubbornness." he said, a fondness in his eyes as he thought of Janine.

"Abe, I hope you know that I really love Rose." I stated, out of the blue.

"Yes . . ." a look of confusion flashed on his face.

"Good. Then you know that I'd never let anything happen to her. Ever."

"I know, Dimitri. I can see how much you really do love her and I respect that."

"Thank you. We should probably go and check on her, shouldn't we?" I asked.

"Yeah, they're probably done bandaging her up and splinting her leg by now." he replied. We walked over to the car in silence.

Pavel walked over to me. "Rose is done, now we need to clean your cuts." he told me. I nodded and sat down.

There must've been a few pieces of glass in the cuts on my face, because they kept pulling little pieces of something out. I winced occasionally when they would hit something that hurt. They finished up by glueing my cuts and then putting little bandages over them. I got out and walked over to where they put Rose.

"Hey Comrade!" she said, her face lighting up when she saw me.

"Hello Roza. How are you feeling?" I asked.

"Weird. Kinda dizzy." she replied. She had a long bandage going up the length of her arm, with smaller bandages scattered over her body. I was just glad that she wasn't feeling any pain. Yet.

"It's okay. It won't last for long." I assured her.

"OMG! There's a unicorn flying around! Do you see it?" she asked excitedly. Wow. Those pills were strong!

"No, I don't. What does it look like?"

"It's soooooooo pretty! It's white, it has a white mane and tail and a rainbow colored horn. Did I mention it's sooooooooo pretty?"

I chuckled. "Yes, you did. How about you get some sleep? You must be tired." I said, not wanting to hear what crazy thing would come out of her mouth next.

"Okay, but only if you come snuggle with me!" she replied. I nodded and picked her up, going to find Abe.

I found him over by the car where Sydney was being treated. "Abe, is there anywhere I can take her so she can lie down?" I asked.

"Of course. Follow me." he replied. He led us over to a camper that he had brought along.

"Thank you." I said. He nodded and walked out. I laid Rose down on one of the beds, and squished myself in beside her. She sighed, and closed her eyes.

"Goodnight, Comrade." she mumbled.

"Goodnight, my beautiful Roza." she fell asleep quickly, and I couldn't help but stare at her beauty. Her silky blonde hair was splayed wildly around her face, her pink lips were turned up into a smile. She must be dreaming, I thought. I could smell her lovely scent of vanilla and lavender that was unique to her. She looked like an angel, sleeping peacefully in my arms. I soon got a little tired, so I closed my eyes and succumbed to sleep.

Rose POV

I fell asleep in Dimitri's arms, still feeling weird.

I started to dream, and it was the best dream I'd ever had.

It was of Dimitri and I, and we were surrounded by children. Our children.

We had little identical twin girls, Larisa and Nika, and a little boy, Alexander. The three of them were beautiful; a perfect balance of Dimitri and I in each of them. They had my hair color, but Dimitri's eyes.

I wanted to stay in this dream forever, living the perfect life with my husband and children, but Adrian apparantly had different plans. I was ripped out of my dream, and I found myself standing in a meadow. Adrian was sitting on a picnic blanket.

"Hey, little dhampir." Adrian said, not meeting my eyes.

"Hey Adrian. I didn't think you would come back."

"I didn't think I would either, but when you got into the accident, I realized how short life is and I don't want us to fight. I want to be in your life, if not as your boyfriend, then as your friend."

"Oh Adrian, I wouldn't want it any other way!" I walked over, sat down, and hugged him. I pulled back and looked into his eyes. "Adrian, you will find the perfect girl for you. I know it."

"I hope so, little dhampir."

"So, how have you been?" I asked.

"Good, just a little lonely." he replied. "What about you?"

"Well, the usual. Getting a bone snapped twice in less than one week. Same old, same old." I replied with a smile.

He chuckled. "Yeah . . . you always seem to get hurt, don't you?"

"Yep. I'm accident prone, I guess."

"Well, I have to go, but I'll visit again soon. Got it?" Adrian asked.

"Yeah. See ya, Adrian." the last thing I saw before the dream faded away was Adrian smiling.

I returned to the familiar blackness of sleep, dreaming of nothing.

So, did you guys like Dimitri's POV? Who else absolutely loved when Rose was all out of it from the Tylenol 3? That stuff is actually that strong, and I know this because my brother had to take it before. It was quite funny what he did, if you wanna know then pm me. Anyways, REVIEW :D please? Lissa will arrive in the next chapter, I think.
