Chapter 16
APOV
I held Rose as she slept in my arms. Even with her swollen eyes and blotchy face she was the most beautiful person I have ever met. I was glad she came to me when she finally broke down when everything caught up to her. I was also happy that it did finally catch up to her. She was holding all of it in for far to long. Coming to terms with everything would help her in the long run, and us as well. By her coming to me showed me how much she trusted me and I was able to show her that I could be there for her emotionally as well. Her burden was not just hers anymore it was mine to, so yes I was happy she had finally let it all go so we can move forward with out lives and I could stop being and overbearing bastard that I know she is rapidly coming annoyed with. But I had to be to protect her till she was ready to let it all go.
“Do you think he forgives me for not loving him as he did me?” Rose asked me as she opened her puffy eyes to look at me. I could see the tears forming in her eyes but they didn’t fall. I think she was all cried out.
“I don’t think he was ever angry that you didn’t love him. Maybe disappointed but when you came for him and the others I think that showed him that even though you didn’t care for him as you did a lover that you at least loved him like you would a friend that cared enough to save him from himself. But in the end Mason made a choice, and his choice was to defend you when you told him take the others and leave. You were willing to sacrifice yourself to make sure the others made it out alive. But he disobeyed your wishes and he died protecting a friend that he loved dearly. That is an honor anyone would die happy with. And in the end he gave you the strength you needed to keep you and your friends safe. So do I think he forgives you, I think for him there was nothing to forgive from the beginning.”
“I don’t know if I want to be a Guardian anymore.” she confided in me. I closed my eyes when I heard those words come from her. I didn’t want her to be one either but it was her choice to make, not mine. “And I know you and the others don’t want me to be one either.”
“We want whatever will make you happy, Little Dhampir. If that is for you to be a Guardian than we will support you. If it is not to be a Guardian, than we will do the same. We just want you with us happy and safe.”
“But tell me what you really want from me Adrian and not just what will make me feel better.”
“I want you happy and I want you safe. But I know that the latter can not be accomplished if you are risking your life everyday to protect the Moroi.”
“Do all of you think me incompetent because of what happened in Spokane? Does Lissa think I will not be able to keep her safe because I lost Mason?”
“No Rose she doesn’t. She thinks you very capable just like the rest of us. But you have to understand Rose, seeing you in the hospital reminded Lissa that you are not invincible as you would have her and everyone else believe. She would love nothing more for you to be her Guardian because she has faith that you could be excellent in it and be the best that you can. But she doesn’t want you at risk. You are the last family that she knows. The bond that connects the both of you runs deep. Far deeper than most people know and can understand. Many view it as the ultimate Guardian to protect their Moroi charge. But what they don’t understand that if the dhampir a Moroi is bound to dies, the Moroi will soon follow. But before that they will suffer a fate worse than death and when they finally do find death it would be a mercy killing.”
“What are you talking about?” She asked me sitting up so she could look me in my eyes. My eyes conveyed nothing but sadness for what I am about to tell her.
“If you die Rose it would be like half of Lissa’s soul has been ripped from her. And the other half that remains will howl in pain for as long as Lissa is kept alive. It would only find relief when she is put out of her misery so the two halves could be one again. The connection that runs between you and Lissa runs deep. You to were close before the bond close enough to be called sisters in every sense but blood. So the fact that you are her bonded would make her half soul cry all the more if you were to die.”
“So it is best that I don’t be a Guardian? That I try to be in less danger as possible so Lissa would never have to experience such a fate.”
“She wants you to follow you dreams and not worry about her.”
“But if it was me, she would worry. She would do what ever she can to stay alive.”
“She already is Rose. Because like her life is tied to yours, your life is tied to hers. She dies so do you. Only you wouldn't have to experience the Soul Cry. You would drop dead immediately.”
“This has happened before.”
“Yes.”
“To who?”
“About sixty years ago. And before that it was about a hundred and fifty years prior to that incident. People didn’t know how to explain it. They just knew that the two victims involved where close. They thought they were just connected on some level that the two couldn't survive without the other. To an extent they were right but they didn’t understand the Soul Cry. They let the surviving Moroi live a life in misery in old folks home or asylums till death claimed them at old age. Years they spent with their souls crying and no one could hear them and no one would set them free.”
“Promise me you would set Lissa free if this was to ever happen.”
“I promise. I will have no one suffer from such a fate.”
“Thank you Adrian.”
“Anything for you love.”
“I need you to promise me one more thing.”
This one Adrian knew he would dread, but he would do any thing for her. “Anything Rose.”
“If something was to happen to me, promise me that you would live and love again for me.”
“Rose-”
“Promise me Adrian.”
Closing my eyes I let some of the tears slip from them at the thought of losing her for any reason, but I would keep my promise. “I promise you.”
“I love you.” She told me as she pecked me on my lips, and wrapped her arms around me.
“I love you too.” I told her, wondering how I would ever keep that promise, and praying that I never had to.
