Chapter 58: Ding Dong the Bitch is Dead

Hehe this is one of my favorite chapters for two reasons. You'll see. Anways there are about 2 or three more chapters after this and then if you're lucky I will begin to post my sequel. Any ideas of who the next villain can be or what you'd like to see happen may be written into it. I have only the first few chapters done so far so it is very flexible.

Also VA is going to be a movie! YAY! Can't wait. Can you?

Dimitri and I, Pavel and Sergei burst through the doors to Adrian's sitting room.

The Guardian's were on high alert and came for us the second we entered. I took down one quite easily. My fighting was fueled by rage, but also he was no where near as highly trained as I was. I thought the Queen would have better fighters. Dimitri had incapacitated another of the Guardians and Pavel and Sergei were battling the other two.

I rushed forward, but as I did I was stopped in my tracks.

"Rose you're alive?" cried Lissa.

"Yeah guess you really can't kill a badass like me now can you?" I asked glaring at Viktor.

Rose I'm so glad you're okay. I was so upset when I thought you were dead. Wait I saw you all bloody what happened? How are you alive?

Liss now is not a good time. Adrian healed me. We'll talk about it later right now gotta focus on the bad guy.

Oh okay but be careful Rose.

All of the sudden Victor stood behind her with the sharp blade of a knife pressed up against her jugular vein. One false move and she'd be toast.

Liss I need you to do something for me. I know you are weak and you probably don't have that much magic left, but if you could distract Victor with a hallucination Dimitri can take him out.

Okay. I think I am strong enough. She said.

Dimitri can you hear me? I tried to communicate with him the way I did with Lissa. I looked at him. He had stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Victor with the knife. An odd look came across his face.

Yes Rose I can hear you. He replied internally.

And I can hear you both! Exclaimed Lissa. Wait how can I hear both of you and how can Dimitri hear you. I am so confused.

Oh great just what I needed a three way bond with my best friend and my lover.

Lissa now I told her and as I did she let her magic loose on Viktor. He was so startled that he dropped the knife and started scratching at his body like a madman.

"Get them off of me." He shrieked in terror.

As he continued to make a scene Dimitri leapt at him and knocked him unconscious.

I ran to Lissa and untied her she was weak from using so much Spirit. I began to untie the rest as well.

I quickly ran to where my mom and Eddie were. I took Eddie's pulse. It was faint, but he was alive. My mother was doing slightly better. She was able to stand on her own. She clung to me tightly as I let her lean on me.

"Rose, my precious Rose. I thought we'd lost you." She whimpered into my neck.

"I'm here mom. Don't worry about anything. Let's get you to the infirmary."

Pavel and Sergei had managed to take down their assailants and were in the process of tying up the Guardians and Victor.
Adrian could barely stand, but he went over to where the Queen was laying sprawled out on the couch. She looked terrible pale and weak. She was barely able to speak.

"Forgive me nephew. Please be happy." She said. "I never meant for any of it to happen like this." She croaked.

"Of course I forgive you Auntie. I love you." He replied tears leaking out of his eyes. I passed my mother over to Abe who agreed to take her to the infirmary and went over to comfort Adrian as Queen Tatiana took her last breath.

He sobbed into my hair. "Little Dhampir. I'm so happy to see you alive. I can't believe I was able to bring you back."

I held him as his body shook and shook. He was in pain mentally and physically. I don't know how long I let him cry on me, but I knew he needed it and he would need a feeder. He was very weak.

I slowly pulled back my hair. "Adrian you need to drink. You are very weak." I told him coaxing him towards my neck. Lissa had already been taken to the feeders by Christian and Tasha and then over to the clinic. It was just Adrian and I and Dimitri left here at the house. He was waiting for the clean up crew and the rest of the Guardian's to arrive to assess the damage and make some decisions about where to go from here.

"Rose I can't. You just died. I can't take it from you. It wouldn't be right." He said although I could tell that my neck was very appealing to him seeing is that he hadn't fed in nearly 48 hours and had brought me back from the dead.

"Adrian don't be stubborn! I want you to. It's the least I can do. I know you want to wait here with your Aunt until the coroner comes and if you don't feed you'll get sick." I tried reassuring him.

He tried to protest again but before he could I grabbed a sharp piece of glass from the floor and gently pierced the skin on my neck. I shoved his mouth towards me and as he tried to pull away the pull towards the life sustaining blood was stronger and he greedily latched onto my neck. I felt the familiar buzz of the Moroi bite and nearly as soon as it began it was over. He pulled away having drunk just enough to sustain himself.

He looked at me with pure love in his eyes. "Rose I love you. You're my best friend. You know that right?" he asked.

"I love you too Adrian and you are my best friend as well."

"What about Lissa?"

"She's my sister. You can't count that." I said with a laugh. By this time Dimitri had returned from outside with a few other Guardian's. He saw Adrian and I huddled together on the ground next to Tatiana's body. His eyes moved quickly from the couch to my neck.

I could feel the anger and jealously flare up inside of him. His fists clenched at his side, but his Guardian mask stayed in place.

"Rose are you ready to go? I still want you checked out at the clinic." He said maintaining a calm demeanor although on the inside he was still furious.

I stood up shakily still a little woozy from the endorphins and Dimitri was at my side immediately. He guided me out of the house and we walked to the clinic in silence. I could still feel the anger burning within him .

"Say something Comrade." I told him. "I know how you're feeling you can't hide it from me. You're mad."

He stopped and put his hands on my shoulders. "No Rose I am not mad, I am furious. Why would you do something like that just an hour after you died? What if he hadn't have been able to stop? You could have died again. And this time he wouldn't have been strong enough to bring you back. Why are you constantly putting yourself in unnecessary danger?" He raged. His face was practically turning purple.

I looked down. "I'm sorry. I didn't think of that. He needed me and I wanted to help. He saved me and I just wanted to do something for him in return." I said apologetically.

I felt his anger begin to melt away. "I know he saved you and I owe him so much. I'm sorry for yelling at you and I know you did what you thought was best, but I just can't stand the thought of losing you again. Rose you died in my arms not even an hour ago. You have to understand what that was like for me. I felt your life slip away. I held your dead body in my arms. I felt your death Roza." He growled.

His emotions were all over the place. He was sad, afraid, happy, and most of all angry. Angry at himself for not being able to protect me.

"Hey, look at me. It is not your job to protect me. I made my choice. She comes first. She always will. You know that you would have done the same. I can't promise you what I know you want. You want me to say I'll stop taking risky chances and ensure my own safety, but you know as well as I that isn't who I am and it certainly isn't who you are. Please don't ask me to be someone I'm not. The one thing I can promise you is that I will love you with everything I have my heart, body and soul for as long as we are together. Even someday when we are separated by death. I will still love you and I'll always be with you." I told him.

I felt his love and devotion for me and he was thinking what a strong woman I was and how he was so proud to be my lover, my mentor and my friend.

"How did I get so lucky?" he asked me pulling me closer to him?

"I dunno let's say we skip the infirmary and I'll show you just how lucky you can get!" I said winking at him deviously.

"Roza. You aren't making this easy for me." He groaned. He wanted me. I could tell, but he'd made up his mind and we were still going to the infirmary. That's just who he was and I'd never try to change him.

Please review! I need ideas for my sequel. I have a loose plot in mind, but I wouldn't mind your input. Thanks for reading. Stay tuned for the next few chapters. They are good. I promise!
