3 days later

RPOV

I woke up today morning, feeling helpless once again 3 days in a row, 'wow! that must be a negative new Rose Hathaway record' i thought to myself. I felt sick to my stomach. I didn't eat in the last few days, I just couldn't, not with Lissa's situation like this.

There has been no progress on Lissa's and Christian's kidnapping situation so far either. The guardian here at the Academy have had a few meetings regarding the situation, but no final decisions have been made yet.

I know about this because 'Da! i'm Rose Hathaway i have my ways', but seriously it was just Dimitri. The only way he could comfort me these past few days were by providing me with informations and keep me updated.

I still couldn't get into Lissa's head, i know that she is not unconscious cause i can sense is through the bond. It has been three days since the Strigoi took Liss and Christian, Liss still has a mental walls up, why can't she just pull her walls down? i would know where she is and can help rescue her and Christian. Ugh! C'mon Liss, let me help you. Why is she doing this?

In the midst of trying to break into Lissa's head I heard a banging on my door, I ran to open the door in hope for any news of Lissa's whereabouts but unexpectedly the guardian beckoned me to come with him.

I followed him in curiosity and before i could ask any questions he began to say "Kirova wants to see you, a letter has arrived, only to be opened by you." I was quite startled and before i could properly register his words, I was in Kirova's Office.

"Hello, Rose, how are you doing?" Kirova asked me, 'really Kirova?' i silently said she barely heard me. 'My best friend has been missing for 3 Freakin days and she has the nerve to ask me how i am doing? really?' i thought to myself silently whilst giving her a slight glare. "Just cut the crap Kirova, what do you want?, I just got told about some letter addressed to me." I grumbled.

She handed me a dark crimson letter, with the words "Rose Hathaway and her only, or else." It was written in neat curved handwriting.

I was curious and i opened the letter, when i took out the contents from inside, there were a few pictures, a long letter, and a stamp.

I first held the stamp in my hand and looked at it intricately, it was a stamp which basically screamed Strigoi. I then took the letter in my hands and started to read it.

Dear Rosemarie Hathaway,

As you should know by now, we have your dear friends. Princess Vasilissa Dragomir and Christian Ozera. They have been a pleasure to have. I have sent you photos proving that they are alive and not turned into Strigoi, yet. I will exchange their freedom if you follow my requests:

-Rose Hathaway will be exchanged for Vasilissa Dragomir and Christian Ozera.

-Rose Hathaway will come alone, she will not be tracked in any way, she will not be followed in any way, she will not escape in any way.

-The exchange will take part directly outside the school, just after sunset, in 2 days time.

- Rose Hathaway will not carry anything that risks the danger of Strigoi lives, e.g. Silver Stake.

Failure to comply with the rules will amount to the loss of Vasilissa and Christian's life.

Sincerely,

Marcus

I looked up shocked, i had to go and exchange my life for Lissa's. 'I would do that in a second without a doubt' but now i knew why Lissa was blocking me out. I looked at the photos and saw Christian bruised and had cuts all around his face, Lissa on the other hand was completely untouched and had not a scratch on her skin, other than wrist marks. I could tell that Lissa tried to heal Christian but had no more energyto do so, they had probably beaten him up since they didn't want the two of them to be able to escape, especially because of Christian's fire power.

I showed Kirova the letter and her face dropped suddenly going dark. I knew that i would do the exchange and i would never doubt what i was going to do since it protected Lissa. The only thing i knew was that i would never be able to smell the fresh air or have Dimitri hold my arms once more.I knew i was going to die. Tears rolled down my eyes as i thought of this.

I slapped myself. "No, Moroi comes first." I thought. It's my duty, It's not only my duty but it is also because i love Lissa, she is my sister. I would do anything to protect her and keep her safe.

Kirova started calling up lots of people telling them this and I went back to my dorm, Kirova didn't stop me, letting me enjoy the last moments i had.

I decided to go to Dimitri instead. I knocked on his door and he opened it, looking as sexy as hell. He looked a little surprised by my visit, Before he could say or do anything, I went inside and started kissing him with all i had, he was too stunned to reply at first but soon composed himself and kissed me, we moved well together we were perfectly in sync with each other. we both pulled back to breath and realised that somehow now we lay on the bed and slowly undressed, his eyes lingering on me.

Afterwards i was hot and flustered and Dimitri looked at me so lovingly. Then i heard the ringing of Dimitri's phone and i knew exactly what it was. They were going to tell him. He picked up his phone and answered "Belikov"

His face suddenly dropped and he started to stutter in the phone.

After a while he hung up, then he walked back to me with tears rolling down his eyes. I wiped them off and said "Leave that for after i'm gone, no need to waste the last 2 says i have with you." I cried, trying to be brave as I put a smile on.

He kissed me with such passion, longing and will that i could stay like that forever in this bliss moment.

But we couldn't, I went with him to go see the Queen to ask her of her plans exactly. When we walked in we heard lots of noises and lots of raised voices, they were having a heated debate about me.

"We shouldn't give Hathaway up, she could bring their victory." I heard one say.

"Moroi lives are more important" i heard another say.

"She's one of the best damn Guardians we got."

After eavesdropping with Dimitri I barged in, everyone went silent and looked at me.

"No matter what you say, Lissa is more important to me, than my life. I will exchange my life for hers and that's final." I loudly and clearly stated. A tear rolled down my eye and i quickly wiped it away, they all saw it though. I fake smiled, they must have thought I'm the bravest thing anyone's seen.

I then left the room and shut the door behind me. Dimitri looked into my eyes which basically said, "I don't want you to go but i know its the right thing to do." he looked me with sadness yet love and proudness can be seen there too. He looked like he was going to throw up, or kill someone.

He looked at me with very sad eyes and I kissed him. "We may as well, have the time of our lives." I said.

His eyes never left mine and he said "Roza, what do u wanna do on the last 2 days you have here." Dimitri kissed me. When he said Roza i can hear the sadness in his voice yet the determination to make me happy never left.

"Punch Stan in the face, have the best time, do it all with you," I just smiled and I ran out the room and he followed me like a dog.

I knocked on Stan's door and as soon as he opened, I threw him a punch and he was startled. Then we both ran away Dimitri holding my hands.

When we arrived at my dorm he pulled out a necklace. It was silver and had the words "Roza, I will always love you, D" I kissed him and hugged him. I was so happy that he got it for me.

I then got out a small box which was also a necklace and i had written on it "I love you Dimitri, you are the love of my life, R"

he hugged me tightly and kissed me so hard that after a while i couldn't breathe. I loved him so much. It was already the end of the day and there was 1 more day, I was glad spent it with him.
