I am really sorry for not updating my story for as long as I have but I had a massive writer's block that I just got past today. I would like to say a VERY BIG thanks to my Beta Reader SassYNoles for being my fabulous beta.

I do not own Vampire Academy Richelle Mead does. I just own Vitya and the story line.

Chapter 6

Previously on "Dimitri … Is That You?"

"Think real hard Comrade. What do you think happened on all of those blank periods of time before breakfast everyday at St. Vlads? All of those times that you can't remember what happened. There is a reason that you – and Lissa and Christian and everyone else for that matter – have these unexplained gaps in your memory. It was because you were compelled to forget someone. ME!" I yelled at Dimitri. Dimitri was looking at me like I had just uncovered his greatest secret that no one knew about. What can I say; I have that reaction with people. All of a sudden I was unable to stand being close to Liss and Dimitri. As I rose to my feet I grabbed both Tasha and Vitya by the hand and walked out of the restaurant and headed to Vitya's place.

That night was the second night in the last three days that I cried myself to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning I was expecting to open my eyes to see out of the window in my apartment but when I did open my eyes I was surprised to see a strange man laying next to me on the bed.

I let out my most ear-piercing scream, as I rolled onto the floor hitting my head hard against the bedside table. As stars started to float across my eyesight the bedroom door burst open. "What happened?" A man's voice with a hint of Russian mixed into his accent asked. I probably would have been able to answer him if it were not for the fact that I felt like a cannon ball was bouncing around in my head and I could actually see properly, but I couldn't because my vision was being blocked by dancing black dots.

"Nothing happened little brother. Roza just fell out of bed that's all. Nothing to worry about go back and talk to Tasha while I help Roza." Another male voice said.

"There is no way I will be leaving Rose alone with you Viktor." I heard the first person say and he made his way to my side. "Rose are you okay? Eddie I need you in here, now!" He yelled at the door. I flinched his voice was really loud and stung my ears.

"Oww can you please not speak so loud." I asked him. A couple of seconds later a heard a gasp come from the direction of the door. Seeing as I could see now I turned my head towards the door. Standing under the door frame was another Dhampir about the age 19, the same age as me –I think –, with a muscled figure and sandy blonde hair staring at me with wide eyes and his mouth hanging open. This must be the Eddie that the Russian yelled at.

"Ro … Rose is that you?" Eddie asked me flabbergasted. (AN: Love that word been using it all day. lol) I started at him in shock, trying and failing to raise one eyebrow.

"How does everyone here remember my name?" I crocked. Suddenly my head felt really heavy and the black spots floated across my vision again. The Russian man caught me as I started to sway falling to the ground. That was the last thing I remembered before I blacked out.

When I woke up I was staring at a plain white ceiling with the usual 'hang in there baby' posted that you always find at a hospital. God knows how many times I've woken up in a hospital room. The thing is I can't remember anything about what happened to land me in here. When I tried to move my head I felt a sharp pain go through it. "Oww!" I groaned.

"Rose are you okay?" Tasha asked me moving into my field of vision.

"Uhhh … Yeah … What happened?" I asked Tasha confused really wanting to know.

"Well we were hoping you would be able to fill in the gaps. What we know is that you screamed, I found you on the floor and Viktor was laying in your bed and then you fainted. The doctor said you received mild concussion and amnesia that is why you passed out. Can you remember anything?" Dimitri asked me from across the room.

As Dimitri told me what happened all of the details came back to me. "Uhhh yeah I remember waking up and seeing Vitya laying next to me. I screamed and rolled out of the bed hitting my head on the bedside table. Everything else is a little fuzzy." I told Dimitri embarrassed.

We all sat in an uncomfortable silence until someone came in the room. Eddie. "Rose oh my god are you okay? What happened? Why did you leave us? It was really strange no one but Mia and I could remember you. Every time I brought you up in a conversation everyone would stare at me as if I was crazy." Eddie told me as he rushed over and gave me a hug.

"How do you know Rose, Eddie?" Dimitri asked. Eddie was staring at Dimitri with confusion showing clearly in his eyes.

"How can you ask me that Belikov? Rose was, is one of my best friends. We both grew up together at St. Vladimir's. We've been through thick and thin together. It was Rose who led everyone in the rescue mission. Rose why did you do that?" Eddie told Dimitri as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Yes Eddie I'm okay. Eddie you know I couldn't just leave you to the Strigoi. I am so sorry that I had to leave St. Vlads but Kirova told me if I didn't leave the academy Dimitri would be sent to Tarasov. So I left and Kirova compelled everyone to forget I even existed. I'm really happy that you didn't forget about me. I have been living in Australia for the past year believing that no one knew I existed. I was so happy when I found that Tasha could remember me and now you and Mia as well." I told Eddie hugging him tightly.

"Why would Headmistress Kirova have sent me to jail if you didn't leave?" A shocked Dimitri asked me from across the room. Eddie was nodding his head in agreement.

"The reason I was made to leave was … Dimitri you were my mentor and I was your student. You were twenty-four and I was seventeen and we were in love. We both knew that we couldn't and shouldn't be together. We fought our attraction so hard but in the end we just couldn't help ourselves. We were both apart of the rescue mission that my mother, Guardian Janine Hathaway, was leading. All of the hostages had been saved and the Strigoi were slowly losing the fight. As we were heading towards the exit of the caves the Strigoi set a trap and you faltered. I had never seen you hesitate before but you did hesitate because I was there and you were looking out for me. I started to head back for you, and more Strigoi appeared but I didn't care all that mattered was you. Together, you and I took down the remaining Strigoi and escaped the caves. When we reached the exit we were so relieved to both be alive we kissed. We didn't realize we had an audience and we didn't care. We were both dragged to Kirova's office. She made us believe that we could be together but she tricked us. She gave me the choice and you know what happened next." I told Dimitri sobbing into Eddie's shoulder.

"How could you even come up with lie like that and expect me to believe it? I don't know how you did it but you got Eddie to play along with this sick joke but I expected more from a guardian. I would have remember mentoring someone like you! The only student I mentored died last year when she and her friends were kidnapped by Strigoi last year. Her and her twin brother, Mason Ashford, were both killed in Spokane by selflessly putting the Moroi and Eddie before themselves." Dimitri yelled at me. I can't believe he doesn't remember or trust me. Bringing up Mason made me start to sob more violently into Eddie's shoulder.

"I know … all too well … what happened at … Spokane." I sobbed to Dimitri.

"What do you mean?" Dimitri asked me. I nudged Eddie's arm asking him to explain for me.

"Seriously Belikov you want to really know what happened at Spokane. Yes, Mason did die in Spokane but there was no such student at St. Vladimir's called Marie Ashford. What really happened was Mason, Mia and I went out to hunt Strigoi down at the shopping centre in Spokane. When Rose, here," Eddie pointed at me, "figured out what we were doing she and Christian went after us to bring us back to the Ski Resort. As we were trying to find our way back, we were ambushed by three humans. We put up a fight but when one of them grabbed Mia we had to follow them quietly. After a couple of days being held hostage Rose came up with a plan. It almost succeeded but the two Strigoi caught Rose and were planning on torturing her. Mason went back for her and was murdered; Rose was so upset she found the strength to kill both of the Strigoi. That is why no-one could figure out why the Strigoi were decapitated. It was because Rose was there but everyone forgot." Eddie explained to Dimitri in a calm voice but by the way Eddie was crushing me I could tell he was really upset about having to relive Mason's death.

I stared into Dimitri eyes as the compulsion over him broke. It looked like a massive amount of weight instantly lifted from his shoulders. It felt like his gorgeous, deep brown eyes were looking straight into my soul. "Roza?" Dimitri said dumbfounded as if he had finally started to see in colour for the first time in a year. "Oh Roza it's you. I can't believe I forgot about you." He rushed as he tried to hug me. As Dimitri moved closer to me, I flinched further back into Eddie.

"Please Dimitri, just please stay away from me." I sobbed just before I jumped out of Eddie's arms and ran out the door. Thank God I was still wearing my PJ top and bottoms instead of the normal hospital dress. It took me about 10 minutes to run across Court to Vitya's house. As I burst through his front door I barreled straight into Vitya's chest.

"Vitya! He remembers me. DIMITRI remembers me!" I squealed hysterically as I hugged like my life depended on that one hug. Suddenly I started to feel that nauseous in my stomach that always bring trouble. I turned around ready to protect Vitya when I heard the most bone-chilling laugh I ever have heard in my life.

"It's not me you should be looking out for sweet pea" I heard Vitya laugh. When I realized I was the one in danger I sprinted towards the door. Before I could take a step outside a wall of fire sprung up blocking my only escape route. As I looked for other possible ways to escape someone hit me over the head. As I fell to the ground I saw 10 people crowd around me. Two of which I recognized Vitya and Tasha, the rest I didn't know personally but I could see their terrible red eyes. Black spots started to dance across my vision, I knew that unconsciousness was going to meet me soon and I welcomed it. One of the Strigoi lifted me over their shoulder and started to run somewhere. The last thing I heard before I fell into unconsciousness was a painful sounding Russian accented, "ROZA!"

Okay I want another 10 reviews before I think about post the next chapter and that doesn't count the number 30 posted a couple of times.
