Yay! Next chapter! Bet you didn't expect one so soon since I take forever eh? Ha-ha well I got a lot of reviews saying that they want a DPOV. So; your wish is my command. Remember to review! They brighten my day :D

DPOV

Although I don't know much about Roza's life, I know that it is hard for her. Especially after witnessing her father about to hurt her I learned that she needs someone to be there for her. I wanted to be there. She is such a strong, caring woman. The way she could just joke about having to go workout made my heart swell. I don't know how she could just move on from what happened so fast. On the way to my house she just sat in her seat staring out the window. Every so often she would make little noises as if she was in pain but her face was blank whenever I looked over at her. I don't this she realized that she was making any noise. All I wanted to do was hold her and tell her that everything was going to be alright. I wanted to protect her and make her feel like she was never alone and that she would never be hurt by anyone again.

Once she started to get some food in her, she seemed to be more like herself again. Mamma was carefully watching her; her motherly instincts coming out. After she had finished her meal, I guided her into the living room and went to speak with mamma.

"I'm so glad that you intervened when you did Dimka. Who would have known what was to happen if you didn't. At the hospital, I see many cases of abuse that don't end well. You are a good man. Take care of her." She put her hand on my cheek sending pride and love towards me through her eyes. I promised that I would watch over Rose and gave her a hug before walking out to see Roza bouncing on the couch. Breaking out in a smile I watched her get comfortable. After a few seconds I made myself known and sat next to her, my face serious. I tried to talk to her about what happened but she just joked about needing to workout. I could still see the fear and hurt in her eyes and pulled her to me and wrapped my arms around her.

"Roza, I want to teach you how to fight." She pulled back and looked at me.

"How to fight? Psh, Comrade, I can beat your ass." I know how to fight. She playfully punched my shoulder. Smiling a little, I continued.

"No Rose. I want to teach you how to really fight. How to protect yourself if need be. But, it will be a lot of hard work and dedication. I know that you have barely been attending school these past couple of months, but I want you to go every day. Thanksgiving is coming up and during your break we would be training every day for hours." I wanted her to stay caught up in school and dedicated. She does not need to have bad scores or else she wouldn't be able to have a good life. After a few minutes of her thinking about it, she nodded.

"Yes. I want to not feel weak anymore." I smiled sadly at her and hugged her. Today was Saturday so I planned on making sure that her homework was done and then take her to the gym and get her training.

RPOV

I owed Dimitri a lot for saving me from Abe. Now he wants to train me; to teach me how to protect myself. After a minute I agreed. I have always felt weak and unable to stick up for myself. The recent events with Abe just confirmed my feelings. Dimitri pulled me off the couch and led me outside to his car after telling Olena that we would be back soon.

"Where are we going?"

"We are going to go get your homework and then I am going to help you get caught up since I'm sure you are behind on your studies." I groaned at the thought of doing homework. I know that I am usually good with my school work but this year I have been slacking; more focused on working out. Then a thought came to me and I started worrying.

"Isn't Abe going to be there? You knocked him out but we didn't call the police."

"If he is there, he is probably still unconscious or if not, then I will protect you. We should call the police though." His brow crinkled in worry. But I started to panic a little bit. Taking slow, deep breaths we pulled up in front of my house. In the driveway was Abe's car; along with my mother's. This can't be good.

Dimitri came around and opened my door and gripped my hand sending comforting vibes to me.

"Everything will be fine Roza." He whispered in my ear. But he didn't know the wrath of Janine. He opened the door and let it swing open and stepped inside pulling me behind him. I peeked over his shoulder and saw my mom with Abe's head resting on her lap.

"Rosemarie Hathaway! What the fuck happened here?"

Alright, I know it's really, really short but I wanted to at least give you guys something and to let you know that I haven't forgotten about this story. As always, review!
