613So this is my first fanfic. I know it's done alot, but i really wanted to do a fanfic on what could have happened if Rose had saved Dimitri. =]
Hope you enjoy it!
I felt as if my heart was being ripped from my chest. No. Not Dimitri. They couldn't have Dimitri. I can't leave him here. I felt my moms hand tighten on my arm.
"We have to go now Rose. The sun will be going down, and we have to get behind the wards." My mother shakes me to get my attention. I continue struggling. Finally I feel her grip loosen. That's when I make my break. I run for the caves, vaguely aware of my mother and Alberta yelling at me to stop. I know if I live through this I'm going to get in a lot of trouble. Not that it stops me. I'm Rose Hathaway, trouble is my middle name.
As I near the entrance of the cave I see the Blonde Strigoi still on top of Dimitri. He must have been pretty preoccupied because he doesn't even notice me until I'm right on top of him. He reaches out to brush me aside, but I stake him before he has the chance. I watch the life fade from his eyes. Good I think Serves him right.
Only problem now are the other Strigoi. They had been headed back to the center of the cave, but turned around at the death cries of the blonde Strigoi. As the advanced on me quickly I spare a glance down at Dimitri. I hold my breath as I try and see if he's alive. There is a slight rise and fall of his chest. Oh thank God . Now sure that he's alive, I return my attention to the Strigoi. The are almost on me. There's only four, but still more than I can handle. I consider trying to drag Dimitri to the entrance of the cave, it's not that far, but I know I would never make it. I grip my stake and try to work out the best way to stay alive when my mother and Alberta rush past me.
I don't care what anyone says, those two women kick some serious ass. The way they fight is so graceful it's almost as if they are dancing. They stand back to back, as the Strigoi pan out around them. I watch my mom strike, as fast as a cobra, and stake one of the Strigoi. She then faces the other. As they do a dangerous dance I flick my gaze to Alberta. Her Strigoi seem to be working together. One goes in to attack, then when she's distracted the other one try's to get an attack in. I have total faith in Alberta, but we needed to get out of here before any more Strigoi showed up. So fast and quietly as possible in my weakened state, I run toward Alberta. As I come up behind the Strigoi I see out of the corner of my eye my mother go in for the kill on hers. I make eye contact with Alberta and she nods. At the same time we both lunge. She stakes one through the front and I take the other from behind.
With all the Strigoi taken care of, I return my attention to Dimitri. I run back to make sure he is still breathing. I let out a sigh of relief, and turn to my mother and Alberta. "we need to get out of here" I tell them. My mother gives me a look, as if to say, yeah I know I told you that a while ago. "So help me get him up so we can get back to the school!" I tell her. She comes up to help me get Dimitri up, as Alberta watches for another attack, As soon as we have him efficiently supported between the two of us, we move as quickly as possible to the caves opening. Once we get to the fading sunlight, we slow down slightly.
"we have twenty minutes tops until the sun is completely down, we need to move, fast," my mother tells me. I pick up the speed. We need to get behind the wards. I move as fast as I can, and watch as the sun sinks beneath the horizon. The school comes into view as the last of the days light gives way to night. I can tell where the the wards are, because there are people there waiting for us. I look at my mother and through some unspoken agreement we both put on a new burst of speed. I am not sure where the energy came to move any faster than I was. I'm on the verge of passing out. I honestly don't know how I am still moving.
Finally we make it across the wards. My mother and I gently lower Dimitri to the ground. I collapse beside him, completely exhausted. I can hear people talking in frantic voices, but everything seems distant. The last thing I hear is the sound of someone who sounded vaguely like Lissa calling my name over and over again. I try to open my eyes, but it takes to much energy. I feel the darkness swell up to pull me under. I welcome it gladly.
So what did you think? =] i'll update soon =]
