Best I can

Chapter 2: Promise me something

Dimitri's Point of View

Some people say that when you're with the person, you love time flies quick, that's what I feel. I have been with my Roza for about almost ten years. We have three beautiful children, our oldest Ivan and our twins Sabrina and Sebastian. Over the years, I would say that we had been closer than ever; we have charges that were always in the same place, so it allowed us to be together. There would be some times where we had to fly out of the country without one another, but we knew it came with the job. Just like it was happening today, Lissa had to attend the funeral of the late queen Ekaterina, which meant Rose had to go with her.

The funeral would be in Russia, which got me nervous in some ways. Don't get me wrong I love my native country, but over the years it has been known in the Moroi world was the place with the most Strigoi attacks. The Strigoi haven't made significant attacks as they would normally do; they would do in small ones who were most of the time fixed. I was just worried for my Roza as there was a Strigoi who had found this you could say prophecy that the Moroi world would fall in the hands of a Strigoi with Shadow kissed abilities. They had tried before in turning others like Rose, which they didn't succeed, even worked with Rose, but they failed. I still remember the day we rescued her. She was severely beaten, which scared me because I thought I would lose her, but she pulled through. Ever since then her abilities have grown significantly. Now the wards don't help with the headaches; now she sees the ghost-like if she would see a regular person. Which sometimes, you would see her stare into thin air, which meant she saw a ghost.

The jet was supposed to leave in an hour, and I couldn't bear to let Rose go my arms. I knew that she would be back in about three days tops, but my gut was telling me something else. I can't put words into it, which only made me not want her out of my arms. Rose didn't complain, if it were up to us we would spend the entire days just here. I hugged her deeper into my arms as I smelled her hair, somewhat taking in her scent as we cuddle in our bed. Rose turned around and looked at me deep in the eyes and kissed me. I responded to the kiss with much passion and intensity, oh how much I love this woman. Our make-out session kept going until we both heard bagging on the door.

" Rose, it's time to head to the jet," I heard Eddie say on the other side of the door.

Rose growled and broke away and looked at the door.

"go away!" Rose yelled back and kissed me once again.

" your turn," Eddie said a little too loud.

I knew what was going to happen before it even happens. I looked up at my Roza and noticed those beautiful brown eyes that our children inherit weren't their anymore, but the yellow shadow kissed eyes.

" Damn it, Lissa," Rose said before she got up, and her eyes went back to normal.

I got up from the bed as Rose was already trying to fix her curly hair; I did love when Rose washed her hair and let those beautiful curls that my daughter shared with her mother out. She noticed me staring at her, which only made us both smile.

" do you see something you like?" Roza said as she fixed her shirt.

" definitely, " I smiled back as I opened the door for her, and she walked out first.

" Happy," Rose said as she saw Lissa standing right at the door with her arms crossed.

" Very," Lissa smiled as she walked out with Christian at her side and Eddie and us following her.

We made our way to the where the jet would be waiting for them, and I felt my grip on Rose get tighter, I didn't want her to go. The guys were all going into the jet, and the only ones outside were Lissa, Christian, Rose, and myself. I pulled her into my arms and hugged her with all my might as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

" Promise me something," I whispered in her ear as I hugged her tighter to my body.

Rose pulled away, so her eyes were staring at my own, so many messages going through by just looking into our eyes.

" I promise you that I will return to you, that I'll be right back here in your arms," Rose said low enough for me to hear and kissed me.

" The jet is ready for dispatch," I heard the captain say from far.

I let go of Rose as I one last time kissed her forehead and smiled at her. She sure was a beauty, and I couldn't believe how lucky I was to be able to call her my wife; that's right, we have been married for about five years now. Christian and I stood side to side as we saw our wife's walk hand in hand into the jet. We stood in place as we saw the jet leave, and when the plane was nowhere in sight, I sigh.

" They'll be back soon," Christian said as he patted my back.
