A/N I had told I don't like to write something which never happened in the story, but Rose and Dimitri do deserve a wedding and this will be written from Rose and Dimitri's point of view. Hope you enjoy a wedding with a difference.❤
For those who haven't read Vampire Academy yet you all will understand this but just try to read it once. And yes if you want check out Live to Kill....to get some idea.
Well basically to sum it up. Rose is a Dhampir, a half Moroi (Good Vampires) and half human. She is in a controversial relationship with her mentor, Dimitri Belikov, another Dhampir.
In their world, Strigoi are the killer Vampires and Moroi are at constant threat. Guardians are trained to protect Moroi with their life. So guardians don't have any personal lives as such. Rose and Dimitri have suffered a lot... But now what?
Dimitri POV
I knocked on the door of her room.
No answer.
I knocked a bit louder, "Rose are you there?"
No answer.
I pushed open the door. She was sitting on the bed, staring at the glass windows at the darkness outside. She looked like she had never got out of bed. The blanket all tangled with the bed sheet, the pillow on the floor, looks like she has had a rough night. Her hair was all messy and loose mahogany strands floated with the wind. She looked totally gorgeous in that way, natural and enchanting. But why couldn't she sleep? What was bothering her? I needed to know.
I walked up to her bedside. Even the sound of my approaching footsteps didn't cause a stir in her as she passively stared at the window pane when there was nothing to see. I moved closer to her and caught a glimpse of her face. A pair of glassy brown eyes greeted me. Her unseeing eyes were focussed on the window against which the cold wind blew hard. And the panes rattled with the effect of that strong gale.
Almost as a reflex my hands went to my pocket where it touched a soff velvet case. My heart raced faster than the winds. What was I going to tell her? How was I going to appease her? Nothing came to my mind. I longed to know what the matter was.
"Rose," I enquired sitting down beside her. She didn't respond." Rose, are you sick? What happened? Why are you in bed my love? Are you hurt? Are you angry?" By this time I was desperate to know. I had never ever seen Rose so broken before. This look of her reminded me of only one thing. When Mason was killed by Strigoi, she defended him and guarded his body with such fierceness. Only then I had seen the haunted look in on her eyes.
Her eyes were hollow, devoid of any emotion. This silence of her made me weak at the knees. My felt as if a part of my heart stopped beating. I felt her pain. I looked at her face to see a lone drop of tear spill from the corner of her doe-eyes. As an instinct, I reached out to wipe that away. Just as my hand touched her, she deftly brushed it away with all the force in the world. I was stunned, unable to speak. She was denying my touch. My heart broke all over again.
"Roza?" I looked at her the hurt evident in my eyes.
"Go away Dimitri. I don't want to see you. If you can't love me, You don't have the right to touch me. I am tired of all this pretension. Either love me with all your heart or say frankly that love has no place in your heart comrade! We can't go on like this."
Her words were meaningless. I didn't honestly understand where my fault lay, "Rose," I tried to appease her, "Roza, I truly love you. Where did I go wrong?"
"Wrong? Huh," she gave a sad smile, "Everything is wrong Dimitri. You don't honestly know what it means to be in a relationship. Duty means a lot to us. But that doesn't mean you ignore love for duty. You yourself had told this to me once. How could you do this?"
Okay, now I was getting a hint of what was troubling her. Earlier the previous day the guardians had got a tip off from some secret sources about the location of a group of Strigoi, too close for comfort. They were somewhere in the woods of Pennsylvania and twenty in number. We had planned a mission to hunt them down. 40 of our Guardians, well armed ,were supposed to go.
I had volunteered to join the group. It was not mandatory for me as I guarded the most important person, the fiance of Queen Vasilisa Sabina Rhea Dragomir, Lord Christian Ozera. But I had felt at the spur of the moment that I should join.
"I felt like it was my duty to help them. You of all people should know how I feel about Strigoi. "
"Then you must also remember Guardian Belikov that I had told you to leave and forget your past before we can move on. Did you have to go? And you didn't think it necessary to inform me before taking the biggest decision of your life? I don't matter to you? Answer me Dimitri."
I kept quiet. I shouldn't have taken up this. I should have consulted with Rose. I was a fool. No wonder she was angry.
She stared at me. The fierceness evident. Her eyes looked into my soul. I felt so vulnerable under her gaze.
"I lost you twice. I brought you back," she choked, "I can't lose you again. I just can't. I have suffered enough in my life. I can't bear it any more. Why does fate always snatch away the people I love?"
She took her pillow and threw it against the wall in frustration. Her pain hit my heart. What had I done ? I had caused so much pain to her. I was a monster.
"Rose," I tried to move closer. She was sobbing and choking, gasping in between. "Rose, I am sorry. I should have told you. But now what is done is done. Tell me Rose what can I do to make up for it. Please. I will do as you tell. Anything for you .Please don't be upset. I didn't mean to hurt you. Sorry a million times Rose. "
She looked at me, mistrust clearly flashing in on her eyes. "Do you mean it? You will do anything? Anything? "
I nodded in approval.
"Take me with you."
Bolt from the blue. "Rose I can't. It's too dangerous. I can't gamble on your life"
"If it isn't dangerous for you, it isn't for me too," she countered.
"But..."
"Listen here Belikov. Either we both die or we both live. There's no in between. Is it clear? I can't relive the pain of losing you over again. I am tired. I am frustrated. Why is fate so cruel to me?" she shouted as a fresh flood of tears trickled down her beautiful cheeks.
Those beautiful eyes cried only for me. I knew it. I caused all the sorrow in her life and now like a fool I was planning to propose her? I didn't deserve to be with someone as pure as her.
But my thoughts stopped when I looked at her eyes. She loved and longed for me. Her fear of losing me was what made her react. Having the thoughts about leaving her was even more treacherous. I was in a dilemma. What should I do? She wanted to go with me. How could I risk the life of someone whom I have no right over?
Without thinking I blurted out, "You want to go with me? Then marry me." The silence that followed made my heart wrench. I could see the expression on her face was a mixture of surprise and horror . "Look Rose, You are twenty three and I , thirty. It's time we get settled down. Once and for all. And I can't risk your life unless I know you are mine. That's the hard truth."
She just stared at me in that weird kind of way....
