"Isaiah shoved me into Elena before Mason was halfway to us. Swiftly, Isaiah blocked and seized hold of Mason, exactly as he'd done to me earlier. Only unlike with me, Isaiah didn't restrain Mason's arms. He didn't jerk Mason upright by the hair or make long, rambling threats about the agonizing death. Isaiah simply stopped the attack, grabbed Mason's head with both hands, and gave a quick twist. There was a sickening crack. Mason's eyes went wide then they went blank." The rest after that was a blur. I was really shaken up. All i could remember thinking was "I have to protect him, save him". I didn't recognise my own voice when i screamed his name. It was more like a shriek. "Mason, Mason!" i choked out. Isaiah simply let out a chuckle and lunged towards me. I had to avenge Mason's death...
"Roza, Roza! Wake up!" I recognized that voice.
I dodged Isaiah's attack, I silently prayed to myself "Please let me live, for Mason, for Dimitri" I grabbed my silver stake and went for the heart...
"Roza, wake up, please, its just a dream."
I slowly rendered into consciousness. "Dim...Dimitri what are you doing here?" i asked puzzled.
I was confused. Dimitri and i hadn't been talking for weeks ever since the Tasha incident.
"I was doing my duties and i heard screaming. I heard you screaming. I rushed here as fast as i could. I tried to wake you but you wouldn't" he said ever so sweetly, in that sexy Russian accent of his. The way he said "I heard you screaming" the way he emphasized the word "you" made my heart melt. But i just couldn't just ignore the facts from the recent events.
"I'm fine" i retorted bitterly. "i was just having a bad dream, what are you doing here" why was i being such a bitch after he was being so concerned about me.
"As i said i was on duty and i just wanted to make sure you were ok. Nothing more. Nothing Less." He replied with his guardian mask on. Oh how it hurt me to see him like this after I'm being such a selfish, ungrateful bitch. I wasn't really pissed off at him at this point, i was pissed at myself. I wish i could see my face right now...
"Well thank-you for being so concerned but, if you don't mind. Please leave, i need sleep, since you expect me to get up a 6:00am every morning to run 12 miles. Oh wait your gonna make it higher? 15 maybe 16? Oh wait, no, you'll just cancel sessions all together." Shit! I fucked that up... Me opening my fat mouth again. Don't i wish i could take that back. I wish i knew what he was thinking. Instead of replying, he just looked at me with his blank reflection, and walked towards the door without turning back, slamming it behind him.
I punched my pillow, several times, punching it so much that feathers came out... I let it all out of my system. Thinking back to the dream. It was just a dream. My best friend. Mason. Well you could call him my boyfriend... Sort of. I was kind of using him as a replacement for Dimitri. It's wrong, i know but i couldn't help it. I kind of loved him, but i didn't feel a spark.. not like i did when i kissed Dimitri... The image of that guy... I'm sure he was a Strigoi... snapping masons neck haunted my mind. "That's 3 times this week I've had this dream." I said to myself "Pull yourself together Rose, it's not real, i know it's not, nothing like that could happen to him."
I pulled myself together and slipped back into unconsciousness.

Alberta asked me to take her night corridor shift in the girls dormitory tonight. I had to say yes. Tasha insisted i didn't.
"Dimka, you're working overtime, you hardly spend anytime with me anymore, its either working or training with Rose." She was giving me a guilt trip... Again
"Tasha, i cant say no. I'm sorry, ill make it up to you soon."
"Do you promise?" She was flirting. How could i tell her I'm not interested? That i was only using her to make the one i really loved jealous? I couldn't even admit that to her.
"I promise darling."
She kissed me on the cheek, i left.
Walking down one of the dorm corridors i head screaming. Coming from Roses room. My Roza. Was she in trouble? I rushed to her room, i stumbled along the way.
"Rose? Open the door" I said hastily. There was no reply so i tried again.
"Rose? Open the door or I'm coming in." Still no reply. I was getting worried.
"Mason! Mason" Rose was shrieking. I found the key, unlocked her door and rushed in. She was asleep in her bed, tossing and turning. The expression on her face scared the hell out of me. It was agonizing. "Roza, Roza! Wake up!" I said shaking her, it wasn't working.
""Please let me live, for Mason, for Dimitri" She said my name... how could she say my name, when i was 'seeing Tasha and she was seeing Mason. I saw her kiss him. Knowing she still cared for me... it just hit something in me.
"Roza, wake up, please, its just a dream." I said again frantically. Her eyes opened. She slowly came around.
"Dim...Dimitri what are you doing here?" she said sleepily. She looked beautiful, with her messed up hair and a confused expression. I think i even say a few sweat drops on her forehead. The way she said my name, just gets me.
"I was doing my duties and i heard screaming. I heard you screaming. I rushed here as fast as i could. I tried to wake you but you wouldn't" I said as comforting as i could.
"I'm fine-i was just having a bad dream" how could she say it so bitterly. "As i said i was on duty and i just wanted to make sure you were ok. Nothing more. Nothing Less." I was harsh, after all she just ripped my heart out. Her bitterness. If only she know what i was thinking.
"Well thank-you for being so concerned but, if you don't mind. Please leave, i need sleep, since you expect me to get up a 6:00am every morning to run 12 miles. Oh wait your gonna make it higher? 15 maybe 16? Oh wait, no, you'll just cancel sessions all together." That did it, i couldn't stay here any longer. I didn't want her to see me lose it. I wanted to explode and just let go and showed her i still cared. Oh how i wanted to hold her. I couldn't let myself do that. Clearly she didn't love me anymore, i has to accept that. I had to leave. I gave her one last look and headed to the door slamming it behind me.
I leaned against her door, for several minutes. I heard a thumping noise coming from her room. I was going to open the door and tell her how i felt but i couldn't. Not after that. I heard her voice, very faintly; i pressed my ear against the door.
"This dream Pull yourself together Rose, it's not real, i know it's not, nothing like that could happen to him." She said nothing else, and i returned to my duties.
