(RPOV)
Shes coming for me and my babies. Its happening again. Im not safe. If I want to protect Dimitri and my children I need to run. Again. Shes done this too me. Returned me into the state of fear. I couldnt stop the sobs that racked threw my body.
"I wont let her hurt you. Not now not ever. You and our children will be safe no matter what I have to do. I will protect you!" Dimitri said as he pulled me into his arms. It was my wedding for crying out loud. Why did she have to ruin today? I couldnt talk or move. I just left my tears to fall down my face. I was emotionless. I distantly heard Lissa telling people to leave. I cant let that happen. This is going to be a good day an I wont let her ruin it. I pull out if Dimitri's arms take a deep breath and stepped to the mic.
"Everyone, Tasha will nit ruin the day. We have drinks fir everyone so please help yourself and to the food in one hour we will cut the cake. Thank you all for the calmness and let this party het started." Everyone looked at me gone out and I sat back at the table have a glass of water.
"Roza... are you okay?" Dimitri hesitantly asked.
"Of course. Today's my wedding day why wouldn't I be. Im now married to the love of my life and I couldn't be happier." I know I was living in denial about it all but I wanted to forget what happened and move on. Its not like she would actually do anything it was just a heat in the moment threat.  My subconscious told me other whys.
"Roza..." Dimitri started and I looked up at him with a bright smile.
"Yes comrade?" I asked.
"Would you like to take a walk?" He asked trying to pick up on any emotion over what happened.
"Sure I could do with the exercise," i said and stood up and held on to him for dear life.
After five minutes of walking and me looking all around me fir threats of Tasha, he did a deep sigh.
"Roza, are you sure your okay?" He had stopped us, made me face him and held my hands in his. I sighed. I really should tell him how I feel.
"Of course not. Shes threatened the life of our children. What happens if she succeeds in killing them and me? She will come after everyone I love until Im gone and you are free of me. I just want to have today with you as husband and wife. I see no other choice but to run again. Run away from the enemy to protect you and our children. Shes not going to stop Dimitri. Not until Im dead and you are free. Free from me." We were both in tears. Crying our hearts out.
"Roza please dont leave me! I cant let you go. I dont know if I could live without you or our children. I love you. Tasha wont get anywhere near you. I promise just don't go! Please Roza please!" He was begging me to stay but I still couldnt see him getting hurt because of me.
"You will get hurt. I couldnt live with myself if I was the reason you were hurt or our children killed. I need to go. But I promise you today and tonight." I said tears falling. I dont want to leave but I have too.
"Please Roza stay," he whispered because he was crying too much. I hated that shes made us like this and on our wedding day. I have to be string for the four of us. I wont let her do this to us.
"Okay I will stay. I promise I will stay and fight for our family." I said stroking his hair and wiping his tears. His face was priceless. He just pulled me into a hot steamy kiss which left my breathless.
"Thank you my beautiful wife. Now shall we go back?" He asked after catching his breath.
"Im tired can we just go home?" I asked. He nodded and lifted me into his arms and carried me back to the car and drive us home.
All i wanted to do when we reached the apartment was to have a bath and sleep but no. I didnt get that privilege did I. On the way to our flat there was a trail of blood. Dimitri stood protectively in front of me. It went all the way to our door where a dead fox was hanging and a note was pinned to the door. It read:
Just one slit of the throat and this fox died. Be careful Rosemarie. Don't say I didn't warn you. 
I went into shock. She really was psychotic. She killed a fox for crying out loud. I couldnt even register everything else around me until I felt my body shaking and my bame being called but I couldnt move my body.
"Roza! Say something please! Your scaring me! Dont let her get to you! I have rang the police they're in their way!" I just nodded and felt a tear fall down my cheek. He just led me inside and sat me on the bed.
"Im gonna run you a bath. Okay?" I just nodded again still speechless and motionless.
When I heard Dimitri walk back in I used all my energy to say something to calm him down a little.   
"Shes crazy," I said quietly. Dimitri turned to me surprised I said something.
"Oh thank god I thought you were in complete shock and wouldn't talk at all. And yes she is completely utterly crazy," he sighed. I turned to him with more tears in my eyes.
"Im scared," I whispered and let the tears fall. He rushed over and pulled me into a hug. I never say when I am scared.
"I know you are but we will get through this. We did with Adrian and we will with Tasha. Okay?" He said calmly.
I nodded and curled up into his side. I guess we can get through this. We have too.
