I finally got my spelling check to work so I ran it over all the chapters and uploaded them again.

I hope it's easier to read the story now, it's my first try so please don't be to harsh :P

1. Memories

When I woke up, I had no idea where I was or what had happened. So I decided not to move until I could remember, I don't know why I did that but I did.

I thought about what had happened and I was all coming back to me, very slowly but it was there somewhere. I remembered what happened in the caves and what that had let too.

I remembered my trip to Baia and I remembered the house and de maze. I even remembered Him, I remembered the 2 times that I'd staked him and a tear ran across my face.

But then the rest came back to me. I had saved him. Or at least I tried to, I didn't know if it had worked or not.

You see, the man to whom I'm referring is my soul mate, he had been turned into a Strigoi and then I tried to kill him. I staked him twice and escaped that horrid house.

When help arrived to get me back on my feet again I found out that there might have been a way to actually save him, but I knew it was too late so I tried not to think about it.

But when I got back to school there was a package waiting, the stake I used on Dimitri and with it a note.

The note scared me because I knew that he wouldn't hesitate to kill me when he got his hand on me. But it also gave me hope because now I knew that there was a way to get My Dimitri back.

I knew that I couldn't do it on my own, so I told Lissa. I still don't know if this was the right thing to do. I had to protect her, not get here in to trouble. Lissa was incredibly understanding though. She convinced me to tell the rest of our group and after that even got me so far as to tell my mom.

My mother, the well known and badass guardian Janine Hathaway, took it fairly well too, although I'm sure that if it worked she would probably kick Dimitri's ass a little bit.

And like that more and more people wore told. My mother spoke to Abe, Abe is my dad but I don't really know him, and he spoke to Oksana and Mark.

I was the one who told Alberta, I knew that she had always been a friend to Dimitri and that she would want to help. To my annoyance Christian told his aunt, I knew that she would want to help too and she was kind of nice, but I still didn't like it.

With all this help we had to be able to do it.

There was one big problem though, the only person who knew how to safe him was Victor Daskov's half-brother, Robert. And the only person who knew where he was was Victor Dashkov himself.

Nobody liked the idea of breaking him out of jail but we didn't have a choice. Oksana tried to get in his head and pick out the information there but she couldn't find it.

Victor did help us tough; at least he did after we broke him out. We found Robert and he told us what had to be done.

It turned out that Dimitri still had to be killed. When he was dead his soul had to be brought back into his body and then a spirit user had to heal him.

Since I was going to be the one who brought back his soul I couldn't be the one to kill him. Dimitri had been one of the best guardians and he hadn't lost that knowledge, so that meant that only a couple of people would be able to kill him and besides me, my mother was probably the best choice.

We decided that we had to leave the school for a while to make sure that nobody there would get hurt during the fight. But we couldn't go too far away and we couldn't stay long because the school needed protection.

That was why I called Sydney. She had told me ones that the alchemist, a group of religious bigots who sort of help us to stay a secret from the humans, kept track of Strigoi movements or at least tried to.

When I called she apparently packed her bag and came to help us right away because she was here the next day. She told me the alchemist send her to be able to keep in close contact and tell us about his where a bouts, but I think she wanted to come and help us herself.

About a week after Sydney arrived and we decided that we would go to the caves where Dimitri was first turned the news came. Dimitri wasn't far away and we had to leave.

Lissa had been mad with me when I told her she had to stay here. So after I gave it a little thought I decided that she should come with us. I didn't like to have here that close to the fight but I didn't want to leave her behind either, with all the guards coming with us she would be safe and I could keep an eye on her and make sure she stayed safe.

We were with a big group, my father had decided to come with us and after promising her to call in five extra guardians's just to make sure he was safe, my mother let him come.

Oksana and mark stayed at the school, they would make sure they were ready to heal the wounded when we got back.

Alberta she brought Stan and a guardian I didn't know. I didn't like the fact that Stan was there but I guess that he was a good fighter and I wanted everybody to get home so I didn't complain.

Christian said that I had to be mad if I thought that he was going to stay behind if his Lissa was there. I had to smile at that and didn't comment on the fact that a Moroi really shouldn't get that close to a fight.

Victor was there too but I think that was just because he is a curious son of a bitch and wanted to know the outcome. And the fact that my mother and father wouldn't let him out of their sight might have had something to do with it to, those two can be scary as hell if they want to.

Robert was there even though we decided that he didn't have to be the one to heal Dimitri, he told me that he wanted to be there just in case Adrian couldn't heal him. He said he liked me a lot and wanted for me to be happy. Robert really was a good guy.

And last but not least there was off course Adrian Ivashkov. We all decided that Lissa couldn't heal Dimitri because it wasn't safe; we all knew what happened to Avery. So with Lissa and Oksana out there where only 2 other choices, Adrian or Robert. At first I really wanted Robert to do it because I wasn't so sure if Adrian could deal with being bonded to Dimitri, but when Adrian told me he wanted to do it I didn't know what to do anymore. I thought about it a lot but it wasn't until last night that I decided, off course it wasn't really up to me but Adrian told me that he would only do it if I was 100% behind it.

Last night Adrian had decided to drop by, well not in the normal sense off the meaning but he did visit my dream. I was at the ski-lodge again, but it was warm and the sun was out. Adrian came up behind me and wrapped his arm around me. "Hi little Dhampir."

I turned around and looked at is face, he was smiling. When I opened my mount to say something I noticed something different. He was actually wearing clothes, the last couple of times he visited my dreams he was always shirtless.

When he saw that I was stunned he laughed. "A little disappointed?" he grinned and went on "I know you like me better when I'm half naked but I wanted to make sure you weren't distracted by my stunning appearance."

I actually learned to like Adrian, he cares about me and I care about him, but he can be so annoying sometimes. "Don't worry that won't happen even if your completely naked."

He grinned at that, "I wanted to talk to you; since we are leaving tomorrow I need to know what is going to happen."

I didn't know what to say to that so just bit my lip and looked down.

"Rose listen to me I just want to tell you something." I looked up to Adrian and nodded "Okay talk to me" I walked to the chairs that stood a little to the side and kind of fell down into one of them. Adrian sat down next to me and started to talk.

"Listen Rose, I don't want you to feel bad about anything and I won't do it if you're not with me but I just need you to hear why I am so willing to do this." I looked up at him and wanted to say something but he went on.

"You know how much I like you and you know I will always be there for you, so I think that the first reason is pretty clear. I want to make you happy and I know that saving him will do that." Again I wanted to say something but wouldn't give me a change.

"But that is not the only reason, you know what spirit does to me and you know how that can be helped. If I am bonded to Dimitri, he will take it away from me and I would be able to heal it out of him. I know that it isn't that easy and it takes allot of balancing but I'm willing to try and learn. If you and Lissa are willing to help us deal I know it can work." Adrian took a breath and I took the moment to let it sink in. I thought about it and I shivered when I realized that Dimitri would need to deal with the Shadows now too.

"Rose, don't worry about that." I looked at Adrian, how the hell did he know what I was thinking. "Don't worry about what?" Adrian looked at me and then told me something I would never think he would say.

"Listen I know that you're worried about the shadows taking Dimitri but he can handle it, like I said if we have you and Lissa to help us out we will be fine." He smiled at me and leaned back.

"But if you are bonded to Dimitri..." I trailed off.

"Look don't worry about that, if we can safe him I will have to get over you anyway it will be a little harder since I will be around you more but with less spirit problems I will be fine."

When he said it like that it didn't sound too bad but there was that one little thing of Dimitri getting into his head. "I don't know how he will deal with the fantasy's that go through your head though" Okay that might have not been the best way to put it but he got the picture.

"Dimitri will deal; he is the one actually being able to do something with those fantasies so he has no right to complain." Adrian said this with a huge grin on his face; I couldn't help myself so I burst into laughter.

"Okay you win if you are sure you want this then I'm totally fine with it." That's when he left my dream and I woke up.

When we came to the caves we set up camp in the back, there would be guards at the entrances during the night and I would stay in the back with Lissa, Adrian and Robert.

Robert told me what I had to do to enter the spirit world and get Dimitri back; I had to start that as soon as I heard the fighting going on. Robert hadn't done it himself but had seen it happen and he knew it would take about 15 minutes to bring the soul back.

He had no idea what happened when the guardian was in the spirit world because she wouldn't talk about it. So I was a little bit worried about that but when the fighting started all the fear left my body and with it so did my soul.

I remember that I saw Lissa's family standing in front of the hole that led to the spirit world. When I walked trough that hole I walked into the gym, it looked the same as the one at school but it was dark and grim.

I looked around and saw Dimitri lying on a gym mat. When I saw him I froze, he was reading one of his western novels and even in this world he looked like a god. When I started to move again he looked up and smiled his wonderful smile at me. "Roza... oh god how I have missed you." He stood up and lifted me up in a tight hug before I even saw him move. Huh... I guess the rules about ghost being air-like didn't apply in this world.

He took a look at me then and his expression changed "what are you doing here? Are you dead to?" Ooh now I got it, he thought I was dead.

"No, I'm not dead and neither are you, this is the spirit world you have been turned and you are stuck here until you're Strigoi self is killed. But I'm here to bring you back. I found a way Dimitri, I found a way to get you back and I won't leave until you come with me. But we have to be quick, you're body will be killed soon and you need to be there to get back in as soon as possible so Adrian can heal you back up." He just looked at me waiting until I was done babbling.

When I was done he took my hand and said "Lead the way my dear."

I remember that we found the exit and that he walked through it, I know I walked right behind him but I can't remember coming out on the other side or getting back in my body. The next memory I have is waking up in the infirmary.
