Chapter 18
Rose Hathaway

RPOV

After all this time. After countless dreams and questions. I finally know where I am.

Inside Lissa's head.

She's tired, scared, searching for a way out.

Calling for me.

I don't know where I am but taking in my surroundings I'm in a very well funded room.

Alone.

"Rose" Lissa sighed.

Lissa. All this time I've forgotten my best friend.

My bond mate.

I can hear the door opening so I get up from my bed, smooth out my dress.

"Princess. How are you this morning?"

The brown hair, the height, the toned muscles.

The pale skin. Red ringed eyes.

"When are you going to let me go Dimitri?"

He laughed and hollow and fearful laugh. It's him.

And he's got Lissa.

"Princess. How man times must we go through this charade? That is not who I am. Not anymore. You will address me as Nathan"

"Then why do you look like Dimitri? Who are you? Any why have you held me captive for this long? What do you want from me?"

He chuckled and made chills run down my spine.

Dimitri.

"It seems that you finally want the answers I wanted to give you the first time around. Tell me why is it that now you want to know?"

I could feel Lissa's anger flaring. Spirit is making her power spike. She could be dangerous. But she's scared, worried, tired. But she's also had enough of playing the scared victim. So she'd do what I would do.

Get straight to the point.

"I want to tell you all the answers you're asking for Princess, but at this moment I cannot. I actually came to deliver good news to you"

I walked around the room. I didn't feel safe here. Not with him.

I crossed my arms and placed my back against the wall facing him.

"What are you talking about? The only good news will be when I'm rescued and away from you"

He laughed and it scared me. But I couldn't show him fear.

"That is the good news Princess"

"What are you talking about?"

"Rose has been found"

"What?" I uncrossed my arms. My heart beating fast. She's alive. She's safe? Is he lying or trying to bait me so I can trust him?

"Her team has finally found her. I'm imagining that they are going to use her to help find you Princess. And that's when you'll have your answers"

I shook my head. "You obviously don't know Rose and you don't know me. I'll tell her what you're up to. I'll tell her to stay away. I rather rot in here then have you anywhere near my best friend"

He stood up and was in front of me in a flash.

My heart just beat faster, and I know he could hear it. But I can't give up. Not if I want Rose safe.

"Princess, princess, princess" he said, grabbing a strand of my hair. His eyes looked even redder up close.

More frightening than any Strigoi.

"I know Rose," he said. " and I know that no matter what, she will come for you. Because you really know that you have no choice Rose" he grabbed my chin, making me look directly into his eyes.

He know that I'm here. He can fell me.

Dimitri.

"And you will come won't you Rose?"

Yes. Yes I will come. I can't leave Lissa.

I'll come for you.

The both of you.

Everything was starting to blur. I was leaving Lissa's mind. I was waking up.

"Roza" he whispered. His hand holding mine. Was I really waking up, or was this all a dream?

"Dimitri" I whispered.

"Wake up Roza. I'm right here, just wake up my love"

"Where's Edward?" I slowly sat up. I took a slow look around the room I was in.

The living room.

Eddie.

Mason.

Christian.

Dimitri.

Now my life is complete. The past and the present.

"Is it really you?" I had to ask. I needed to know that this isn't a dream.

He nodded and I touched his face. It really is him. Right in front of me.

He gave me that smile that he reserved only for me. The one where his emotions were clear on his face just as in his eyes.

My love.

"You found me"

"I will always find you Roza"

Then I remembered why I was awake in the first place.

"Lissa?" I said looking at Christian.

His eyes were holding so much sadness. He must miss her so much.

"Guess you already know where she is huh Buffy?"

I could see he was trying to not show any weakness by hiding behind our old banter. But I could see it in his eyes, they said more than he ever let on.

"Yeah" I said looking around. "Where's Edward?" I said looking at Dimitri.

He was about to answer when I saw Edward in the entryway with everyone around him.

"Edward" I smiled.

I got up and ran to him, hugging him.

"I'm glad to see you awake"

I smiled and inhaled his scent. I've gotten so used to the stone hard skin.

"I'm sorry that I have to go though" I said as I tightened my arms around him. I really didn't want to leave. But the opportunity presented itself and now I have to do this.

"I know" he said in the beautiful silky voice. "Lissa's in trouble and you have to rescue her"

"He's holding her hostage Edward, and he already knows I've been found. He's waiting for me"

"I wish I could accompany you but I know this is a job for you and your team, and I know that you have to fulfill your promise. Just make sure you come back. Okay? And if anything happens, my promise to you is still valid."

I nodded smiling up at him. Those honey colored eyes.

I wonder if I won't make it. Will al my burden be put on his shoulders? I don't want that to happen. This is my burden to face alone. But I need to face facts, if I do fail, there isn't any Spirit user I know capable of doing what that Gypsy did sixty-five years ago. I have no one else.

Only Edward.

"I'll be back" I tell all of the Cullen's with a smile.

I turned to Dimitri and my team.

"Let's get back to Court. I need to prepare some things and we're off to Russia to start on some leads I might have to finding Lissa"

They straightened up, game faces on. Their guardian training kicking in.

I turned back to Edward.

"If I don't, I'll send someone to you or find a way for you to keep going ok?"

He nodded. His features slipped, slipped just slightly. I doubt anyone but Jasper can tell. Edward's good at hiding his emotions.

He nodded and at Vampire speed took hold of my hand and kissed it.

I smiled and turned towards Esme.

"I don't want you to go" she said in a sad voice.

I smiled and shook my head. "Didn't I just say that I was coming back?"

She laughed softly. "Just as brave as back then"

"Always will be" I said.

I hugged her and turned to look at the rest of the Cullen's

"I'll be back so I can kick each of your guys butts" I smiled and they laughed.

To me, this felt like goodbye. Until I saw him dead at my feet, everything was goodbye.

I walked to the door, stepping out, my team following right behind.

I didn't want to look back, I would miss them, and right now emotions aren't something I can afford to feel or deal with.

All that matters is rescuing Lissa and finally ending Dimitri.
