Chapter 15
APOV
“How’s Rose?” Christian asked me as he and Lissa entered the room.
“Resting as you can see.” I told him tiredly. I knew I should be resting to but I couldn't bring myself to sleep. I was finally looking at my Little Dhampir after nearly three weeks of not seeing her.
“I know that I can see. But I am talking about what has her doctors or nurses said.” he snapped at me. The only reason I let him get away with it was because we were all a little bit on edge with Rose being in the hospital. Though she was healing just fine, the idea of Rose being here had us frantic. To Christian and Lissa Rose was invincible. All they have ever known her to be was strong, brave, and un-defeatable. To me, she was the love of my life and the idea that she is hurt and I couldn't prevent it is tearing me apart.
“They say she is fine. She should be able to go home within the next two days. They just want to be sure everything is progress the way it should since the bullet did nick her heart.” I told them solemnly. “I have already arranged for me to stay at the St. Vladimir’s and for Rose to stay with me until she has recovered afterwards she has to return to her dorm and to her Guardian training.” I said the last part bitterly.
If there was one thing I didn’t want was for Rose to be a Guardian. Before I thought the job would be awesome for her, protecting her best friend and the only family she has ever known. But see her here in the hospital has changed that. This was not something I ever wanted to experience again her almost losing her life because she was protecting her friends. I would hire a thousand Guardians to protect myself and Rose if it meant that I didn’t have to worry about her trying to protect us. If anything ever happened to Rose I don’t think I would ever be able to live with myself whether it was my fault or someone else. I barely made it through this time. How was I suppose to do it again?
“She’ll be fine Adrian.” Lissa said reaching out and squeezing my hand gently trying to comfort me.
“I know she will be cousin. But now is not what I am worried about.”
“You are worried about her being a Guardian once she graduates.”
“Yes.”
“We all are Adrian.” she told me softly retracting her hand and leaning back into Christian. “She is my best friend and the last family I know. She is my sister in everything but blood. She is the reason I am here today and for the longest time she was the only reason I bothered to fight against the darkness that consumed me before and after we knew what the Spirit was. She is my other half. To lose her is something I don’t think I can ever experience.” she said softly as she wiped away the tears that ran down her face. Before she turned to look at Christian. “I love you with all that I am, truly. But if I was to lose Rose, you will have to put me out of my misery because it is something I will never come back from.”
“It is because of the bond and what connection you and Rose had before that. You are as much as a part of her as she is of you. If she was to lose you the same thing would happen. But it would be different. You are what brought her back when she died in that car crash. If you were to die she would have no choice but to follow.” I told her sadly as I fought against the tears that so desperately wanted to break loose, but I would not let them. “So do me a favor cousin, remember that your life is not your own. And if the time ever comes when you have to face death you fight him long and hard because there is more than just you life at stake.” I told her never taking my eyes from Rose.
“I would fight with everything I am then some.” she promised me, I just hoped she held true to that.
When it was finally timed for Rose to be released from the Hospital the Academy sent a plane for us that waited for us on the Hospital’s helipad. It was in the dead of night, the vampire morning when we were taking Rose back so the amount of Guardian’s that surrounded the Hospital and the helipad was astronomical. This was not done for Rose’s benefit, unfortunately because to me she was worth all of this, but this was done for mine and Lissa’s. Lissa was the last Dragomir and I was the favorite nephew of the Queen. Though she wasn’t to happy with me at the moment because I was with Rose, she wasn’t about to let anything happen to me anger or not.
Rose for the most part was lucid. But the pain meds and the antibiotic the doctors had given her to fight off any infection that may occur while the wound was healing and her body was weak because it’s energy was focused on healing, she was bit dazed during our flight to St. Vladmir’s. I was a bit worried about her but I knew it was for not because she would be fine. But despite knowing I couldn't help but worry. I had almost lost her. Not something I was going to go through again. So I hoped she could deal with possessive and overbearing Adrian for a while till I had a chance to cool off.
“Why are you so quiet Adrian?” Rose asked me as she place her hand gently on my face that I leaned into and kissed the palm of.
“Just thinking, Love.” I told her as I moved a stray hair from her face and behind her ear.
“About what?”
“You, me, everything.” I told her as I pulled her hand from my face and just held within both of mine.
“Are you worried about you, me, and everything else?”
“I am mostly worried about you Little Dhampir. Worrying about myself is not a priority of mine. But when I say thing about you, me, and everything else, I mean more so about our futures and what we will face in the days, weeks, months and years to come.”
“Years?”
“I plan on having you forever. So yes years.” I told her as I brought her hand to my lips and kissed the back of it.
“I love it when you talk about our forever.” She told me with a smile on her lips and her eyes closed as she sighed and let the tension leave her body as though she was imagining our Forever. I hoped she was seeing the same forever I was.
“But no matter what happens in these days, weeks, months and years to come. Nothing will come between us Rose not as long as we fight for each other.” I told her firmly as I held her face gently in my hands when she opened her eyes. “Our world is cruel and prejudice to romances and loves like ours. But we will turn a deaf ear to them and tell them all to fuck off. Because not one of them matters. Their opinions are bullshit. The only thing that matters is you and me and how we stay together till we are old and gray and ready to part this world together.” I told her resting my forehead on hers. “So when your mother bitches about us just remember she doesn’t matter. When my aunt decides she wants to split us up remember her little games will prove nothing but we are perfect for each other because we will stand against every test and trial. And when the pressure behind those test and trials become to much and we feel like losing faith in each other, we will remember why we fight in the first place. Because you and I are soul mates. Bound together for all eternity. Will you promise to remember this Rose?”
“I promise. Do you?” She asked looking me in the eyes with those beautiful brown ones of her.
“I promise.”
RPOV
During my recovery while I was at the Academy I was with Adrain. The man was very overbearing. I could do nothing besides eat, sleep, and use the bathroom and be barely wanted me to that alone afraid I would further injure myself. I loved him. I truly did. But he had me contemplating why. Than I remembered our promise that we mad on the jet back to school. That promised is what kept me from snapping and Adrian alive. If I ever had doubts that he loved me I was sorely wrong. The way he took care of me and even the way he annoyed the hell out of me only proved that he did love me. The man would do anything for me and I would do the same for him.
When it came time for me to leave and stay in the dorms I was both relieved and sadden. I had gotten use to sleeping in Adrian’s strong and capable arms. The way it felt to be wrapped up in him was indescribable. For a long while and even still it is hard for me to go to sleep with out hearing the sound of his heart beat or the warmth of his skin against mine. The only reason I forced myself to sleep at night was so I could see him in my dreams. I think that was the only reason my sleep was every restful and not restless leaving me tired the next day.
It was not long after I made a full recovery that they had the molnija ceremony. They tried to have it before but Adrian refused to let it happen. He wanted me perfectly healthy before I was allowed to do anything that involved school or being a soon to be Guardian. I just think he didn’t like the fact that it had something to do with the reason I had to recover in the first place. Or that it was Guardian business.
I was beginning to think he didn’t want me to be a Guardian. I got the same feeling from Lissa and Christian as well the only two people he would let visit me since he was still very angry with Eddie and Mia. In a way I think he blames them for what could have happened to me. As much as I wanted to argue with him I couldn't. This was his way of trying to take care of me and protect me. I was going to let him do so. But the fact of thinking none of them wanted me to be Guardian bothered me. Especially Lissa. I was suppose to be her Guardian. If I was not to do it who would? Did she not think me capable enough because of the incident in Spokane? I didn’t lose one Moroi in that incident and though I lost Mason, that was of his own choice. He let his emotions get ahead of getting the job done, and it got him killed. It was a mistake I never planned on making when I became a Guardian. But though that was the reason behind his death it didn’t make it easier on me.
The day of my molnija ceremony it was warm causing the snow that had been on campus to melt which would cause it all to freeze up again in a few days making the campus slippery and driving Adrian overbearing self in hyper drive. Though I was healed he still didn’t know when to calm down. I was getting beyond the point of understanding.
Receiving these marks didn’t feel me with the pride I once thought it would when I was just a, ignorant novice. Before all of this I thought receiving these marks was something to glorify and honor. Now they were just marking to remind me of what can happen when you made a mistake and the death of one of my best friends.
I missed most of the ceremony and really didn’t care about what was said around me. The weight of it all was finally crashing on me. I didn’t have the time the last month to pay attention to it all as I did now. Mason was gone and he wasn’t coming back and I took the lives of five humans and two Strigoi. Though the humans had a part in my and my friends capture and had dark twisted dreams of becoming Strigoi they were not part of this war between the Vampire races, yet I had taken their lives. While I knew I shouldn't have felt bad for it I did. It took everything in me not to cry during the ceremony. There was only one person I wanted to be around when that happened and he wasn’t here, so my tears and sorrow will have to wait till later.
When it was done I was standing among a crowd of the gather Guardian that came up to me one by one. They each gave me some sort of sign of affection: a hug, a kiss on the cheek, or kind words.
“Welcome to the Ranks.” Alberta said to me. Her weathered face was gently as she pulled me int a tight embrace.
And next unfortunately for me was Dimitri but he sad nothing to me. He was trying to convey his words in his eyes but I did not care to now.
When Stan, the instructor I’d fought with the most since my first day hugged me and said, “Now you’re one of us. I always knew you’d be one of the best.” I thought I’d pass out. But his word also made me sad. Somewhere in my mind I was thinking I didn’t want to be one of them I wanted to be me and free. And that thought scared me a little, so I pushed it away.
Next it was my mother. I haven’t seen her since I kicked her out of my hospital room. I was trying to forgive her like Adrian suggested we should, but the pain she had him in for two weeks it was almost unforgivable but Adrian said he understood why she did it he just needed the time to forgive her for it. I on the other hand, understanding wasn’t enough.
“Don’t ever forget.” she told me. I knew what she meant. And I knew why she said it. Me and my mother had our battles but on some leveled she understood what was going on in my head right now and what these marks mean to me.
When it was over food and drinks were served but I waned none of it. I left before anyone could see or stop me and I practically ran to the only person I would allow myself to break down with. I need to feel his comforting and protective arms around me. I need the smell of him to envelope me. I need to hear his voice tell me that it was going to be alright and we will get past this.
So when I finally reached his room and ran into his arms to break down I did just that. And he in return did exactly what I needed him to do he is the one person that knows me better than myself. He is my soul mate and my forever. He is my heart and soul. And he is all I will ever need. An unexpected romance.
