I had to leave, if I didn't, I was risking the life of all my friends. I started packing my clothes and personal stuff. I felt my eyes start to get watery. I was going to leave everyone. I couldn't even say bye to my mom, she'd probably find a way to make me stay. I got all my stuff and left my room, but before I could get anywhere Adrian stopped me. "Where do you think you're going?" He asks.
"Adrian, I have to go." I say turning to leave. I won't even be able to say buy to Dimitri, yes the last time we saw each other we were mad, but I still love him.
"Let me come with you, I can't let you do this on your own." He says, eyes pleading. But then I remembered something.
"What about . . . Mia?" And when I say his eyes go wide.
"How do you know about that?" he asks.
"It doesn't matter, just please let me go!"
"I wouldn't be able stand knowing I let you go." What's the worst that could happen?
"But I'm leaving now, you're not even ready."
"Give a few minutes." I sigh and nod, we head back to his room and I wait for him to pack. I was kind of surprised how fast he packed. But while I waited for him, I wrote Dimitri a letter.
Dimitri,
I am sorry for everything, I forgive you. I hope you do everything you've always wanted to do. I can't let another person that I love die, especially you. We will probably never see each other again, which will hopefully keep Lissa away. Please don't come after me, look for me, nothing. I will make sure Adrian goes back.
I love you, never forget that.
Yours truly,
Rose.
I took it to his room; I made sure he wasn't there. We were going to take Adrian's car. As I got in the car, I looked back and saw Dimitri. I don't think he read the letter yet, I didn't exactly know what he was doing around here. He didn't even notice me, but when Adrian closed his door Dimitri spotted us. His eyes went wide, a tear rolled down my cheek; he started to run toward us. "Lets go." I told Adrian, he nodded and we started our journey. Dimitri was getting farther and farther.
Adrian and I didn't know exactly where we were going to go. We stopped to eat at a small restaurant. It actually had feeders; I don't know how Adrian knew about it. After we finished we were on the road again. We stopped to stay at a motel, we got our own rooms.
"Rose what exactly are you planning we do?" Adrian asks me.
"I don't know. Hey do you know if I left one of my bags in the car?" he shrugs. "Give me the keys so I can check."
Before he gives me them he says "I'll go with you." I shrug. I wait for him while he gets something, I don't really pay attention. I couldn't find my bag with my pajamas. I was pretty sure I left it in the car. As I open Adrian's car door I see my bag.
"Ha! See I─" I stopped. I felt the nausea, Strigoi were near. I felt it worse now. "Adrian─" before I could warn him, my worst nightmare appeared. In front of us were Ms. Karp, and . . . Lissa! This was my first time seeing Mr. Karp. She looked so different then she did when she was just my teacher. She looked so pale! And Lissa, I thought she was pale when she was Moroi but now, ugh. I had nothing, no stake, or anything. But as quickly as I thought it Adrian caught my attention, he had two stakes! Neither Lissa nor Ms. Karp noticed him, their attention was on me. I slowly walked toward Adrian, he handed me one stake, and kept the other one. I hope he doesn't try anything stupid!
"I told you, you were going to pay." Lissa says.
"Remember what I said Lissa, quick and easy." Ms. Karp tells her. I shiver knowing they're talking about my death.
"Where's the fun in that?" Lissa asks, then she tries to attack me, before I realize what I was doing I easily stake her! I look at her now motionless body. I . . . killed Lissa. But then out of nowhere Ms. Karp attacks me, I hadn't gotten my stake back. I try my best to keep her from biting me. But then I get distracted by Adrian, he runs toward us, and then her fangs bite into my neck. I try push her away, but I start to get weak, my eyes start to droop. But then I feel her get pulled off me, I see Adrian trying to stake her, using both hands, then after a few attempts he pushes it all the way to her heart. Then this bright flashes, but before I can see what happens next everything disappears, and I'm surrounded by ghosts.
They've finally got what they wanted. I'm one of them now . . .
I couldn't believe it when I saw my Roza with Adrian in a car leaving. I didn't know where they were going or when they were returning. Before I could do anything, they left. I went to my room, but noticed something; there was an envelope right under the door. I picked it up and tore it open. I read it, and I felt like my heart was going to break. My Roza was gone forever, I had to find her.
Two hours had passed and no one knew about her. There was on more things I still had to do. I decided to call Adrian. He answered after a couple of rings, "Hello?" he exclaimed.
"Adrian, where's Rose?"
"Dimitri, Rose . . ." I could tell he was crying.
"Adrian, what happened to Rose?" I demanded. He was scaring me already.
"Ms. Karp attacked Rose . . . she bit her . . . she bit an artery. Rose . . . didn't make it." I couldn't believe it. Rose was . . . gone. I couldn't believe it! It can't be true, my Roza can't be gone!
