Running Away With No Luck Left

Rose's POV

"There has to be some way out of here." I yelled swing the chair at the metal door.

"Roza, save your strength for when we need it." Dimitri was sitting on the floor with his back on the wall. While Dimitri and I were unconscious from the ankle thing, they had untied us. I don't know why though. I slammed the chair against the door one more time, harder. It broke it to a few pieces. I had a major flashback of when I had used the chair leg to stab Dimitri. But no Strigoi here. If you don't count us that is. There were only a Viktor, Tasha, and a few humans. The same humans that I beat the crap out of. Let's just say they aren't too happy about that. The only reason they haven't came in a tried to hurt me was because Viktor wouldn't let them. The only thing I have to thank him for.

"I can't just sit around and wait for nothing! Last time I did that, Nathan bit me repeatedly and I almost died!" Dimitri flinched at the word "bit". "Oh, Dimitri. I'm sorry…" I forgot that he had done the same thing to me only a few weeks ago.

"It's okay. I'm just glad that I have you to help me through it all. You are the only one who understands. I haven't had any real time to think about all that I have done."

I sat next to him and wrapped my arms around him. "It's okay. It wasn't you. I have already forgiven you for everything. If you hadn't of done any of that, then we wouldn't have each other right now." He looked me in the eyes and I smiled brightly.

"I don't know if I can forgive myself right now, but I know that no matter what, you will be there for me. Thank you, Roza." He grinned at me. We sat there for a little while, just wrapped in each other's arms.

"When we get out of here, can we go to St. Petersburg?" I asked him.

"Yes, that would be nice." He said. "Haven't you already been there?"

"Yah but I didn't really get to see anything. All I saw was a few building but never really stopped and looked." I told him.

"Well, when we go, I will give you a tour. I know a lot about all those buildings." And for about an hour, he told me everything he knew about the buildings. I could just imagine us walking through the streets, carefree, looking at all the colorful buildings. I sighed.

"I love you, Dimitri."

He stopped mid sentence and hugged me tighter. "I love you too, Roza."

Dimitri's POV

"I love you too, Roza." I really did. I loved this amazing, beautiful, perfect woman with all my heart. She was my other half. I was complete with her. And if I ever lost her, I would kill whoever took her from me and then die myself.

"I don't know how long I can go one like this, Dimitri." I could tell that she was crying. "If it isn't one enemy, it's the other. With the darkness, and us being… god I don't even know what we are." She paused. "And we still have to go to court and you know our relationship will not be permitted." She couldn't talk anymore because of the sobs.

I just stroked her hair. "We are going to get through this, Rose. I don't know how we will but we will." I paused. "I'll give up being a guardian. Maybe we can both go work for Abe. Lissa can hire you as a guardian. We can… we can run." I paused and let her answer.

"We could run." She repeated, her voice cracking. "Running doesn't sound like such a bad idea." She sniffled and rubbed her eyes. "We wouldn't have to worry about anything. We would be free. Occasionally we could go and see our family's and Lissa." She brightened. Then her face fell. She turned toward me. "Would you be okay with that? IT goes against everything we stand for. Breaking the law. We would really be on the run."

"Anything for you, my Roza." I leaned and kissed her. We broke apart and she cupped my face in her hands.

"It wouldn't be for me." She smiled. "It would be for us."

Abe's POV

"Janine. Open the door and let me in." I said softly through Rose and Dimitri's bedroom door.

"No." Her voice came through the door.

"If you don't I'll just break the door down and Rose would not be to please with either of us." I could almost see the hesitation on her face. I heard footsteps and then the door opened. Janine's hair was al curly and sticking out everywhere. Her eyes were puffy and bloodshot and she was pale from sleep deprivation. I walked in and shut the door. I turned toward her small figure and she jumped at me.

"Oh, Ibrahim. I don't know what I will do if I lose her." She sobbed into my shirt. "I just got her back. She can't be taken from me again. I was trying to hold it together when Nathan took her, but now I just can't take it." She sobbed some more.

"I know, Janine." I said, felling the same way she did. "I know."

"She's been through too much. Already almost died too many times. Too many for my liking. It needs to stop. Her luck is running out."

"I know, that why we have to get her out of where ever she is alive, and we have to go and help with that." I said smoothly. Janine nodded and pulled away to wipe her tears away. She looked at me and smiled. "I don't know why I left you all those years ago. Ibrahim."

"I don't know why I let that happen, Janine Hathaway." I smiled at her and pulled her in for another hug. I pulled back and got down on one knee. "Janine Hathaway, would you stay by my side until our lives are over?" I asked her. She started crying again and nodded. "Good, because I don't want to ever leave your side again." With that, I took out a ring and slipped it on her finger.

"Ibrahim. That is not the right hand." She said, confused.

"Because that was not an engagement ring, my dear." I laughed and stood up. "I just want to know that until I give you that engagement ring, you will always be here." She let out a small giggle and stood on her tippy toes to kiss me. I leaned down and picked her up, pulling her of the ground and into me.

Aw, wasn't that sweet. Now, any ideas on how Rose and Dimitri get out? Please say it in a review! I might not be able to update tomorrow, and if I do, it will be short so hang in there. I have homework to do, and I have to go and help sew costumes for a play at my college. So, review and tell me if you liked it.
