Chapter one: Introduction

~Third person point of view~

Dimitri wandered endlessly up and down the hallway outside Rose's door. He had no idea what to do. Dimitri thoroughly thought about Rose's reaction towards his question, which Dimitri had waited for so long to ask. Dimitri began to battle inside his head on his decision; Dimitri's mind said one thing, whereas Dimitri's heart said another-much to his dismay.

Dimitri finally decided to listen to his heart, after carefully thinking through this plan of his. Dimitri knocked gently on the door-not wanting to frighten Rose, as she could well be sleeping. But he had to do this. The wait had been slowly driving him insane. He needed to do this now or he felt he would never be able to.

Rose carefully opened the door to reveal herself, Rose still wore the elegant, V-neck, a line, red-evening dress from earlier at the ball, hosted by Dimitri. Dimitri's eyes couldn't help but wander down her torso and back up to meet her gaze. She looked absolutely stunning in the dress. Now more so than ever did he know what he was doing was right.

Dimitri shifted nervously on his feet; never in his Thousand-six years of life, had Dimitri felt so anxious and nervous. He would have laughed if he had thought it would not make him vomit. He was never like this, but yet here Rose was able to do this to him.

"Hey Comrade, what's up?"Asked Rose, fear struck throughout her entire body. Rose thought something dreadful must have happened, as Dimitri never looked so anxious and nervous in her now eighteen years of life. She wanted to reach out and comfort him but feared it had something to do with her.

"Roza, I have something I need to ask you."Replied Dimitri, his confidance starting to return.

Rose gave Dimitri a curious look. Nevertheless, Rose moved out the doorway, back in her bedroom, signaling Dimitri inside after her. Dimitri took a deep breath and entered Rose's bedroom after her. The smells of her room, of her filling his nostrils causing him to inhale deeply. He had always loved the smell of her. She smelled of jasmine, and roses. Funny seeing as Rose had always hated them both.

Rose went to sit on her satin sheet bedding, while Dimitri stood at the foot of the bed. Dimitri crossed his arms, so his left hand draped slightly in his blazer pocket, the velvet box in his blazer pocket inching closer to the surface. He had to do this now, or he may never get the chance again.

Rose gracefully crossed her legs, cupping her knee with the palms of her hands. Dimitri continued to watch Rose, as he carefully thought of the right words to form the question, he was about to ask. He could not just ask, but then again no words could describe how he truly felt. His eyes drifted to hers, drowning in those brown orbs he knew what he had to do, what to say.

Dimitri grabbed the small velvet box out of his pocket, however, kept his palm closed; preventing Rose from seeing.

"You okay Comrade?" Questioned Rose, she was started to get worried, was he kicking her out?

Dimitri moved from the foot of the bed, he kneeled in front of Rose, placing his hands on top of Rose's; the velvet box slipped in Rose's hands.

"Roza."Dimitri grinned, his fangs baring, there would be no speech her, he just had to ask."Will you marry me?"Asked Dimitri, his voice held so much passion and adoration.

Rose gasped.

Dimitri Pov

Seventeen years previously:

I held my glass of red wine in tight grip, while I drummed one finger on the side the glass, as I impatiently waited for Mr Mazur to arrive. I have known the Mazur family for quite a number of years, dating back into the eleventh century. They were all the same. And now I was finally meeting on willingly, or as willingly as possible.

A witch-Rhonda, who belonged to the Mazur family cursed: me, my friends and sister in the eleventh century.

Rhonda's half-sister; Natasha, fell deeply in love me, unfortunately for me in the eleventh century. However, I never returned the same feelings towards Natasha, in fact, I highly despised this Natasha; I found her to be too clingy and needy for my liking. I had never been mean or rude but that had not mattered. Natasha was a witch of course, like her half-sister. Natasha was an extremely powerful witch and compelled Rhonda, into reacting badly towards my response to Natasha's feelings. To this day I still wonder why she had such an obsession.

As a result of Natasha's actions, Rhonda punished: myself, Christian, Lissa, Adrian, Eddie, Mason, Mia, Ivan, Viktoria and Jill for an eternity of Immortality; thus creating the first vampires to ever exist. Forcing all of us to immediately leave our village, running away in hiding from the humans and the people we once called family. I had to at least be grateful I had not been alone. Without them I have no idea what I would have strayed to do.

Rhonda informed us all that the spell may only be broken, by me marrying my one true love. Also, that it would be only on my wedding night at midnight, that the curse would be broken. Rhonda left the ten of us a book of rules we must abide by, to ensure the spell could be eventually broken. The rules were fair, but nothing was fair when it came to us losing our former lives over someones obsession.

Rhonda later informed me that my true love would be descended from her, that she would be watching closely until my wedding night. I had hated her information, and he watchfulness. But after a few hundred years I grew to like my life. We found routine and even held out hope that someday it would all end.

The sound of a door opening interrupted my thoughts, I looked up to find Abe Mazur entering the room. Though many feared him, I found it hard to do. I was doomed to live forever, and I knew he held what I needed to make it end. To finally find love, happiness even.

"Abe Mazur."I grinned, baring my fangs."How nice it is to finally meet you,"I said.

"I wish I could say the same thing for you Belikov."Replied Abe, a scowl clear across his face.

Abe sat down in front of my desk in my office. Abe was a very well known and feared man. However, I believed Abe hadworked extremely hard to be in the position he is at now, which was something I highly respected.

"You're not scared of me... I can tell, not many people would have the guts to answer back, so rudely as yourself,"I said.

Abe laughed humorlessly. I knew why, but it still bothered me.

"I've known what you were since I was child Belikov, you can't be frightened of the facts you already know of,"said Abe.

I nodded and leaned back in my chair. I had hoped this meeting to go by faster. I knew what he was doing was not easy, but I had waited long enough. And even now I would still have to wait.

"True, but you still don't even have an ounce of fear written your eyes,"I noted.

"Like I said before, I've grown up knowing everything about you Belikov."Said Abe, he shifted in his seat but no in fear but discomfort. I had done nothing to make this easier on the man.

Mason and Eddie slammed open the doors, moving to stand against the wall. They both slipped on their Guardian masks into place, as both they stood fully alert ready for an attack.

"Shall we get down to business then?"I inquired. I needed this done and soon. I had better things to do than to banter with this man.

Abe nodded.

"Good."I said.

The doors re-opened a female, I presumed to be Abe's wife entered carrying a baby in a red blanket. She walked to stand beside Abe, she leaned forward and kissed the baby's forehead, before handing the baby over to Abe. Abe stared adoringly at the baby wrapped neatly in the red blanket, he leaned forwards to kiss the baby's forehead and cheeks.

I stood up at the same time Abe did, Abe gently handed the baby over to me, I gently cradled the baby in my arms. I could not help but stare at the small bundle in awe. She was truly a beautiful baby. And somehow she was all mine.

"Look after our daughter Rose, Belikov,"said Abe, his voice catching some.

Rose opened her eyes to stare into my own, I grinned happily at the beauty in my arms. There was no way I would ever let anything ever happen to her. She was perfection, and I would do anything and everything to ensure she lived a happy and loving life. After all this was it, she was it.

I looked up for a second at Rose's parents and nodded. I looked them in the eyes. Knowing full well this was not easy for them. The least I could do was assure them of this child's well being.

"With my life."I stated firmly.

I returned my gaze back to Rose. Where I knew I would be locked in for the rest of forever. There was something knowing in them. As if she knew I was here for her as she would be for me. Though nothing would ever be forced, it would be her choice.

The door opened and closed, however, I continued to stare endlessly at the beauty in my arms.

Rose snuggled deeper into my embrace. The action causing something in me to melt. Maybe my heart was not gone, it was still there. It had just been waiting for this moment.

"I finally found you my love."I whispered, I pressed a kiss to her forehead.

What do you guys think?
