Chapter 15
Rosemarie
EPOV
"Edward" she called to me. I looked up at her and when I did, all the emotion passed quickly through her eyes and just like that she was gone, out the window.
"Rose!"
I jumped out after her. She was faster than I thought. But I could push just a little bit faster.
I still couldn't believe this was happening. She had me pinned and trapped. She caused me some kind of pain! She was something else.
And what did Esme mean by Rosemarie?
There were some things that didn't make any sense.
What did Esme know about Rose?
"Rose! Please come back, don't run away"
"I'm sorry Edward. But I don't belong here. Not with you"
"Rose please, I want you to stay"
Her pace is slowing down. Maybe I'm getting through to her.
"Look Rose, please. I just want to give you what you want. Right now, all that matters is giving you whatever you want. I know there's a genuine smile on that beautiful face. I saw a glimpse of it before you regained some of your memory back. I want to see it again. If I could be the one to give it to you…I want to"
"You can't give me anything. It doesn't change who you are and who I am…and what I'm meant to do"
She really has good stamina, she hasn't stopped running yet. "Rose, please. I don't care who you are, and what you do. I just want to keep you safe"
"You know you should be afraid of me. I already know how to kill you. I already know your weak points and in one single stroke I can kill you. that's why it's better if I'm nowhere near you or your family"
We were nearing the meadow now, I cannot believe how fast she is. If she ever became like one of us, she'd be unstoppable. She'd be even more perfect than she already is.
"Rose just stop ok? Please. All I want to do is talk"
She didn't stop running until we came into the meadow. It still looked the same as always but now, with her presence while being in the meadow, its beauty intensified.
I know it sounds like I'm in love with Rose, but no, it's more than that. I worship her in a way that should be defined as insane but it can't be helped.
She's something I've never seen before. Her beauty, the strength, the passion she has hidden deep in the depth of her beautiful dark brown eyes. She's like a warrior angel.
Though I do not know how I am allowed to befriend or worship an angel I can't let the opportunity pass me by.
I heard her sigh as she stood in the middle of the meadow. The sun was making a small appearance and by some unexplainable reason, the sun shun down on her. She looked up at the sun and took a deep breath.
"Why are you making this harder than it already is?" She asked. Her back still facing me.
"I don't want to make anything hard. I just want to protect you and give you the life that you want. Why is that so difficult for you to believe?"
She sighed again. "Because, from what I know, from what I've seen, your kind feels nothing. There's no such thing as emotions. Only survival and power. I just can't change my views, can't change that fact just because of the past couple of days"
I walked closer to her just three feet separating us.
"I don't want you to change anything about you. I would never be able to ask that of you. All I'm asking is that you trust me. That you give me the chance to give you the life you want. You won't owe me anything, you don't have to do anything. Just trust me. Trust that the life you've desperately been longing is right there in front of you"
I wanted to touch her, to comfort her. I could tell that she needed it right now. That she wanted to empty all the worries, the fears, the helplessness that she felt.
"I want to take it all back" I said out loud.
She turned around and I saw the tears on the rim of her eyes. She looked so broken. "Take what back?"
"I want to take back the worries I know you have, the fears, the helplessness I know you feel. You may be a strong Guardian, or warrior, or whatever else. I know there's someone in there that wants to be let out, to be let go." I walked closer to her, just a couple inches separating us. I reached my hand to her hair and loved how it felt between my fingers. The sun disappeared and for that I was grateful, I don't know how she would've reacted if she would've seen me sparkle. She sighed and closed her eyes, a small tear making its way down her cheek. I didn't wipe it away, it made me know that in some part I was right. There's someone trapped underneath and I just want to let her out.
"You know that I can be all of this for you. I can help you release that girl trapped underneath. Just trust me. that's all I'm asking of you"
"Will you promise to never hurt me?" she asked in a whisper as she opened her eyes and looked right into mine.
I nodded.
"I promise I will never hurt you Rose. I don't think I can ever do that to you"
She nodded. Another tear making its appearance down her beautiful face. Then she did something I've been longing to do. She hugged me. She hugged me and stained my shirt with saltwater tears. I could care less. As long as she needed me, I will always come.
Rose. She brought something new to this life of mine. I didn't feel incomplete before she came because I had Bella. But now Rose just adds to the completion, like she was meant to drop in. like possibly I was meant to help her with what she needs, to give some kind of good to her life. I still don't know but at the moment it didn't matter. She wanted to trust me, and I would never give her a reason not to. She needs me…and for as long as she'll want me, I'll be there.
RPOV
After a while he whispered in my ear. "Are you ready to go back to the house now?"
I nodded and hugged him tighter one more time before letting him go and drying the remaining tears that were left.
"I'm sorry I attacked you"
He shook his head. "Don't worry about that now Rose. I know you did it out of instinct. I could never blame you for that. I bet it's in your Guardian blood"
My Guardian blood? Yeah, I bet that's one way of calling it. I was also disgusted with myself for letting it get this far. That I'd have to let vampires run my life in this way. That I let my guard down for petty dream. So I acted out of anger. Anger at myself. If my Guardian life taught me anything, it's to not get distracted. And that's what happened. I got distracted by the dream of being away from it all. To have a normal life away from the danger, from the killing, from the pain and suffering. But also from the loneliness that was wedged deep inside of me. Edward was right about how I felt.
I know there's someone trapped deep inside me, wanting to get out into the world. For as far as I can remember (because I still haven't regained my memory back yet) I don't know what it's like to smile for real. Everything about the Guardian life I live is fake. All fake.
"I'm still sorry" I said to him. "I really didn't want to hurt you. I don't think I could do anything to hurt you either"
And it's true. Edward's become to mean something important in my short time with him. He's perfection in so many ways and in others he seems human when he speaks to me. Like he really knows what's inside my head, inside my heart.
Like he knows the real Rose behind the Warrior/Guardian.
I needed that in every way. I needed someone to understand me. Someone who knew how to be forward with what I have inside, when I couldn't be.
And then there was the problem of Esme calling me Rosemarie.
Who was Rosemarie and why would she think I was that person?
"Do you think everyone back at your house would actually want me to return?"
"I don't care what they think Rose. You need me right now, and they're going to have to deal with that"
"I don't want you to have to chose me over your family"
He stopped for a second. Thinking something over. Like he's heard what I just said to him before.
"I'm not choosing between anyone. I want to help you and besides I think I'm pretty old to make any kind of decision for myself" he smiled.
He wanted to take my mind off the idiot I made of myself. And it did kind of work.
I smiled a tiny smile. "Well how old are you really?"
"I'm one hundred and eight"
"Wow. That's…well that's kind of weird, and awesome, and annoying all at the same time"
He nodded and a crooked smile appeared on his face. It made him look beautiful in every way. But wasn't he supposed to look beautiful. Wasn't his beauty along with his flawless features supposed to lure the victims in?
"Before I go anywhere Edward, there's something I want to ask you"
He nodded. "Sure, go ahead"
"Do you kill people?"
He closed his eyes and softly sighed. "No. I don't"
"So then how do you survive? Because I can't imagine anything else. I mean you do need blood to survive right?"
He nodded. "Yes, we do need blood. But we only use the blood of animals to sustain ourselves. We call ourselves Vegetarians. Kind of like our private joke"
"Have you ever tasted human blood?"
He nodded. "How long have you been drinking animal blood?"
"Maybe ninety something years. There was a time that I disbanded from my family, I didn't want to live being a vegetarian so I went on my own and lived the 'normal' life of a vampire. But some things happened that made me return to my family"
"It's good to know some things about you. I'm not saying that I trust you yet. But it's good to know that if you're honest with me, it might lead me to trust you somewhat"
He smiled a small kind of shy smile. First time I've ever seen that on a vampire. "Well, if I'm being honest. You, being honest with me in whatever you think or feel would make me happy in a way. I know that might not matter to you right now but I would love for you to be completely honest with me in everything. I wanna know what you're thinking every time"
I thought of him in bewilderment. He wanted to know everything about me. Including what's locked up in my mind for my own to know. Does he find me as fascinating as I do him? Is that even a good thing?
"Well I'll make a deal with you. If you promise to be completely honest with me. I'll be completely honest with you. No secrets."
He nodded. "No secrets"
I smiled and nodded. "So how about we make it back to the house. I still don't know how your family would react. But I want to talk to Esme about why she called me Rosemarie. The name seems familiar in some way, but in others it makes me want to completely hate it. Rosemarie sounds formal. Nothing fun about it. All plain"
He laughed and I swear it melted some of my heart.
"What's so funny?"
He shook his head. "The expression on your face when you said that the name sounded plain. It was very humorous to say the least"
I scowled at him and he raised his hands in apology. "Alright, alright. I'm sorry. I won't laugh at you. Though it's pretty funny" he whispered this last part and he knew I would hear. I lightly punched his arm.
"Ok. No more laughing I promise"
"Good. Now let's go. There's some things I need to know"
His face became so serious as he nodded. Then he took off on a run. He was fast! And I do mean fast.
But I know for sure that I was just a tad bit faster than him. And he knew that too when his face showed a smirk and a momentary shake of his head. I laughed.
"Come on Edward"
He was catching up to me and then when he did, he caught me by the waist and kept running back to the house without stopping.
When we returned he set me down while I laughed.
"That was super fun" I said.
"Yeah. It really was"
I turned around when the door opened, and I saw Carlisle and Esme standing there.
"Rose," she said as she stepped away from Carlisle and walked outside the door. "I'm so glad that you came back. There's so much for us to talk about"
I nodded. All the playfulness I was experiencing drifted away and was replaced with all seriousness. Esme had something important to tell me and I needed her to tell me now.
So I walked up to her. "Who's Rosemarie?"
She stopped and looked right at me. "You"
I shook my head. "No. that's not possible. That means that you would know who I am, and I don't think you do. Because if you did, then you know how dangerous I really am. You would've never allowed me into your family the way you did. You wouldn't have been as nice to me as you were"
"The truth is" she said. "you're not the Rosemarie I met sixty-five years ago in Russia"
I was taken aback. "I never stepped foot in Russia in all my life. I don't know what you're talking about, and even then, I'm only nineteen years old. I don't even think my mom was alive sixty-five years ago"
"I know that you're not the Rosemarie I met sixty-five years ago. Of course your appearance has changed and of course you're younger. You're a reincarnation of the Guardian I met while I was in Russia"
I shook my head faster, more franticly. "That is completely impossible. My belief stops at the Moroi because of their powers. I don't believe in reincarnation or anything like that. And besides I don't think I can believe in anything you say. I'm sorry, but just because I showed up back here with Edward doesn't mean that I trust any of you one hundred percent"
She nodded. "I understand. But if you allow me to, I can show you something I know only you would remember. Something you decided to give me before your departure from Russia"
I silently followed her back into the house. I sensed that every one else was waiting on me. Waiting on me to act on what I had acted on earlier. That I try and attack her or kill her. But I couldn't, she knew more about me than I did of myself at this time. She's saying that sixty-five years ago she knew me. It's enough for now for me to at least follow her and see where this all leads to.
We made it upstairs and stopped at a door which I thought to be her and Carlisle's room. I just followed her in. I saw as she went directly to a book shelf and reached for a silver box. It was beautiful. Intricate with what looks like a thorn bush surrounding the entire box, and when she brought it up to me, I saw that it had the most beautiful rose spread before it. The stem ran through the whole box.
"Is this mine?"
She nodded and. "Yes, it's yours. But this isn't what I wanted to show you" she sighed. "What's inside is what I'm dying to show you"
"Are you sure that I'll remember. Because you found me and I lost everything I've known. Well some things, but how are you so sure that I will be able to remember myself from sixty-five years ago?"
"Because you yourself told me that this is something you'd never want to give up. But that you knew some things. Some parts of your future and that I'd once be a big part of it. It's why you gave me this box, and what's inside"
She handed the box to me and I got glimpses of who I once was.
"Дмитрий защиты Лисса. Лисса есть еще два идет, просто дайте мне немного больше сил" (Dimitri protect Lissa. Lissa there's two more coming, just give me a little bit more strength)
Я всегда буду любить тебя Димитрия. мое сердце навсегда. Навсегда моей души.
(I will always love you Dimitri. Forever my heart. Forever my soul.)
НЕТ! Я потерял его. Навсегда не более того. Теперь от моей руки, он будет освобожден. И что бы ни случилось, предназначен для.
(NO! I've lost him. Forever no more. Now by my hand he'll be set free. And whatever happens, is meant to be.)
I handed the box back to Esme. I was loosing my balance. My mind couldn't take to many things. Dimitri and Lissa?
I know those names, some parts of their features embedded in my brain.
But was it from sixty-five years ago, or is it from now?
"What did you see?" Esme asked me. A concerned look on her face.
"I never saw myself, how I looked. But I could tell I was older. There was this beautiful girl I was with. She looked like an angel even as she fought. And the man. He brought up something within me. Pain. Loss. Love." I whispered the last part as I said, "Forever"
"I remember when you told me your story," Esme said. "you explained that you were hunting down the man you love. But you didn't think you'd make it. You told me of a gypsy psychic you met through your journey who told you the possible outcome. You didn't believe some of it, but other things she mentioned made you come up with a solution. You gave me this box and told me to wait a day while you return with the other part. So I waited and when you returned, told me that you had someone embed this" She opened the box and pulled out a locket the size of my palm. "with something that'll help you regain your memory and possibly finish what she started. You had a great belief that it wouldn't be necessary, but just in case I saw you again, I'd give this to you. It would let me know that whatever you started…you didn't finish"
I took the locket and I felt something warm about it. It was oval shaped. Little diamonds surrounding the big flower design that had one bigger diamond right in the middle.
"I want to give this to you. To represent the forever I long to promise you"
That beautiful Russian voice that soothed my fears, that also scared me. His promise. That voice did it all to me and left me wanting so much more.
He wanted to represent the forever we wanted to give ourselves. The Forever that meant our love. But he left. He was taken from me and I needed to help him. I needed to kill him.
Dimitri held me one last time. But not in the way I remembered, it wasn't soft, tender or loving. It was cold and hard. But he sounded like the man I spent loving for as long as I can remember. He was the only one that knew the real me, the me underneath the Guardian. He knew we could never marry, we knew that Lissa came first. But our love never really needed a title. Only we knew and that's all that mattered. Fully giving him my body was all he needed and all I desired.
But seeing him as something I never dared to believe came to be a wake up call. I had to kill him and if I died in the progress then so be it. I know that the future will still be there. The gypsy had told me that if I should fail, my soul will be transferred and my reincarnation will finish what I started.
It didn't deter me any. It just made insurance the more safer, knowing either way Dimitri would be the one to die by my hand. But when he captured and tortured me, I knew that I would already fail. I was right to give that vampire something of mine. First unknown vampire I've ever put my trust on in all my life.
"Dimitri" the longing in my voice as he finally caught me made an appearance and I despised it. I hated myself for showing him anything. All the time he held me captive I showed him no fear. Only defiance. He knew of course it was all an act, knew the pain I was really in, in the way my heart broke each second he tortured my heart, body, and soul. He knew all of me. It's why I understand when he became bored of me. He'd come in less and less. Gave me time to recover and when I was close, the torture would start again. It would ease his boredom and he would be satisfied all over again.
But I escaped one night, a time I actually recovered all my strength. He chased and I lost.
He killed me and I've had to wait sixty-five years to finish it again.
He knows now that I've finally returned. He needs to finish me for real this time.
"And when he does come for me, then I'll end it"
"Rose" Edward whispered. "Are you okay?"
I turned to him, a new confidence rising up through me. "I'm more than okay. I know I have things to do and it's going to be a long while before he comes for me. So if it's alright with you. I want to stay"
I turned to Carlisle. "If that's also okay with you and the rest of your family"
He nodded. "Of course you can Rose. This is your home for as long as it's needed"
I fastened the necklace around my neck and tucked it inside my shirt, feeling some completeness in my life.
Now if I can reclaim all I lost in this future, I know I'll be complete.
"Roza" That name once meant so much to me.
"Dimitri" I whispered. I hope you find me soon. I came looking once. Now the move is yours.
Tell me what you guys thought!
I was super hyped that I jumped in joy after I finished reading it.
So what do you think abour Rose's reincarnation?
And Esme knowing Rose before anyone else?
What do you think the Dimitri of sixty-five years ago will do now that he knows Rosemarie has returned?
I bet you guys have so many super long questions...
Cant wait to hear them all
Cant wait to know how much you guys enjoy my writing...
