So what are your predictions for Blood Promise? Here's mine!

But would he be strong like a Strigoi or weak like a normal Moroi. Whether Mead goes that way remains to be seen. I'd like it. But if she's like Joss Whedon, she won't give us what we want but what we need.

will Rose still know what Lissa is feeling even if they are that far away from each other?

Well aren't moroi powerful they just choose not to use their powers to fight...?
If Dimitri did come back as a moroi I think he would use his powers...if he got any...to help fight against strigoi, or at least I would hope so.

Moroi are physically weaker than Dhampirs who are slightly weaker than Strigoi.

How would Dimitri turn into a Moroi if Lissa and Adrian heal him? Isn't Moroi or Dhampir a genetic thing? How can they change his genetics?

Well if he's a vampire now, he needs blood. If he's an un-undead vampire, what is he? The only un-un-dead vampires are Moroi. Would he go back to being a Dhampir now that he's physically/genetically altered to Strigoi?

"So I think they'll bring him back but he'll like come back as a Moroi, because he was like already a vampire when he was turned into a Strigoi, so they can't change him back into a dhampir."

That would be awesome. I can so see the last chapter of the final book telling about all their little babies. Unlikely, but still. I'm very, very much hoping that Lissa and Andrian together will bring Dimitri back to something. Anything other than Strigoi is good with me.

Or, he could be a good Strigoi. Remember how everyone was shocked to hear about how so many Strigoi could work together? They thought it was impossible. Who's to say there aren't good Strigoi? We wouldn't know, because we haven't gotten the chance to really know one yet. Natalie and Rose weren't best friends or anything. Dimitri and Rose have a bond, and are very much in love. Perhaps becoming a Strigoi is not enough to break that.

One thing is for certain, there's no way she's killing him. She'll never be able to do it, even if she wants to. She can believe it's not really him anymore, but it'll still look like him. She couldn't even if she wanted to. Lissa and Andrian will totally save the day!!! I hope...

With the whole Dimitri-gone-Strigoi thing, which really pissed me off by the way...

Okay...so I think that Mason was telling the truth when he said that Dimitri had gone Strigoi. But I think that Lissa and Adrian are going to get together to use their Spirit powers to bring him back. Because Strigoi are supposed to be dead, right? Right. So I think they'll bring him back but he'll like come back as a Moroi, because he was like already a vampire when he was turned into a Strigoi, so they can't change him back into a dhampir. So then since he would be a Moroi, him and Rose could be together and have a family and everything...so there's my prediction basically =P

Anyone else have predictions?

i had this same conclusion

the genetics thing is that dimitri has been altered he has fangs and drinks blood now he is full undead vampire and if healed its my logic that he would stay a vampire just become a mortal one ie. Moroi (im hoping lol)

OK...I get it now. The stuff about if Dimitri is healed somehow from being Strigoi that he would turn into a Moroi.

In one way, I don't want that kind of ending. It's a bit cliché. And plus that kind of ending is what IMO ruined the end of the Harry Potter series. JKR had matched up all the characters and depicted them as parents sending their offspring to Hogwart's school. It was a lame ending, IMO.

Don't get me wrong. I am a big Rose and Dimitri fan. Yes, I want them together. But maybe just a big double wedding in the book to end the whole series. The double wedding being Rose and Dimitri and Lissa and Christian.

I think Lissa & Adrian finding a way to bring him back would be pretty awesome. Although Adrian's sometimes stalker-ish crush on Rose, might make it unlikely because with Dimitri back he'd have ZERO chance in hell with Rose.

But anyway... I think he would be more likely to come back as Moroi because when he was turned Strigoi his Dhampir genes were converted to vampire genes (even if they are undead ones). So if he was healed while being a vampire, he would probably come back vampire. Plus, I think this would be a really awesome outcome. Dimka & Rose could have their own children & have an open relationship & not have quite the same scrutiny they had as a guardian+guardian relationship would have. And we all know she isn't a blood whore because Dimka (if he came back Moroi) would be the one that was different, regardless of what the queen thinks.

And as someone else said, the whole HoN theory is a good one also. We don't know all that much about the Strigoi and what really happens after they are "awakened". Plus, as seen in HoN, some of them may be different (ie: Stevie Rae was the only red vamp still in touch with her humanity, later helping the other red fledglings). I could see Dimka being the one that is different, keeping his soul after "death". How the whole having children & a relationship with Rose could go, well, that would definately be a controversy. A guardian having an intimate relationship (or a relationship of any kind) with the creature they've been raised to fear & kill since Day 1. Yeah, that might be an even worse problem than two guardians being together....

ur forgetting that strigoi cant remember much of their old life, they become monsters and their instincs to kill moroi take over. Natalie couldnt help but try to kill Rose, its her instincs to kill her (whether shes a dhmpir or not).

Dimitri will be the same. he'll know who she is but he'll still try to kill her, or if lissa follows her, her. I have a theory Lissa will end up following rose which will bring christian along (notice how his name is christian, a religion. Holy. i just noticed that.) thus getting the characters back together.

my theory is that rose'll kill dimitri but lissa will bring him back to life but then rose'll have to take the darkness from lissa making rose go crazy (like she did when jesse tortured lissa) which dimitri will take from rose like he did in the cabin.

as for the moroi dimitri theory, he wont be a moroi. he'll be something else other than a moroi or a dhampir (a morpir laaaame...).

Am I the only one here who doesn't want Dimitri to come back?
The author has only given him a very brief description so its pretty obvious she's gonna kill him off.
I think Rose will end up with Adrian, even though the queen doesn't want her to, you can kind of tell.
When you read the last few sentences in Shadow Kiss, she is determined to kill Dimitri. It all comes down to two realistic options. Stay with Dimitri and become Strigoi, or kill him no matter how much it hurts, and stay with Lissa. This is what she has been trained for and thats what she'll have to do. There is pretty much no chance Adrian and Lissa will be able to make Dimitri a Moroi or Dhampir, their power doesn't allow it.

I think Rose willl kill him. Remember what her reading with the fortune teller was. Then she will get together with Adrian but it will take some time and then it will cause a new set of obsticales.

Yes, they can.
See, the stakes used to kill Strigoi use the FOUR elements.
But, what about Spirit?
I think that a stake with Spirit on it maybe would be able to return Strigoi to their original shape. Or at least Strigoi that didn't wanna be turned.

And, I disagree.
Why would Richelle Mead let them sleep together if Dimka's not her soulmate, or other half, or SOMETHING????
Also, Dimitri's character is far more developed than Adrian's. So maybe Richelle intends to kill HIM off when Rose is trying to save her Dimitri.

i really want dimitri to come back - hes practically the base of the whole vampire acadamy storyline.
i think that rose will find him, and like HoN he will have trouble trying to keep his humanity.
rose, lissa and adrian will work together to help him to get his spirit to return.
but i think that will happen in the book after blood promise.
at the end of blood promise rose will find dimitri, fight with him, let him explain, and thats the end til the next installment.
richelle just cant kill dimitri off!

I agree with you loove_dimka.

I so hope that RM doesn't decide to kill Dimitri in the series but I also agree that she would do what's best for the series.

Oh wow so many wonderful theories, I hope one of them happens..the only one DIMITRI is SAVED.
I wonder if maybe Rose will find him, and they will fight..and from their fighting he will remember how much he loved her? How much she meant to him? Will she be able to kill him if she has to? No I don't think she will, she loves him..but even deeper he holds a piece of her soul. Could it be that she will let him turn her? No I don't think she will do that either, she would rather die than be what she hunts.

I think what will happen is she will find him, with help of course. She will try to save him, but being that he is now one of the undead he will try to turn her. Or at the very least try to talk her into turning to be with him. I know she won't do it, but he will try. She will see more ghost's and maybe try a to save his soul that way, and maybe try to return it to him. She is Shadow Kissed and can see people's sprits so maybe she can save his soul that way.

Just my theory..I could be totally off..but she can't kill him..she just can't!!!!!!!!!!

So here are my theories:
1) Dimitri is being held captive my the blond Stigoi that bit him and that the blond vampire just took him because he saw the chemistry between Rose and Dimitri and he wants to get back at Rose for killing Isaiah and Elena so he knows that she will have to come and get him... and i think that Mason had hoped that by tellng Rose that Dimitri was a Strigoi that he thought Rose would not go after him so she would stay safe and that's what mattered most to Mason, Rose's safety. I think that the blond Vampire may be the royal Moroi andrew from Frostbite that had got into the fight with the non royal when Rose was with Adrian and Christain and Lissa, and he remembered her.

2) Dimitri has turned Strigoi and rose finds him and stakes him (like wat many of you have already said) and Adrain is with her to help her along the way and because Adrian cares about Rose and wants her to be happy he bring Dimitri back dying in the prosess, and that Adrian was the one that had to save him because Rose worries about Lissa and doesn't want there to be a lond term effect on her after using her powers to save Dimitri.
3)rose finds Dimitri as a strigoi and because there love was so strong Dimitri still remembvers her and still loves her, and in rose's excitment in seeing him again she changes so they can have a happy immortal life together ( i don't really like option 3)

Nope I don't like option three either..I do however think you may be onto something with your first theory. I never thought about that it could of been Andrew..very clever thinking. I remember now how he said that he remembered seeing her before he awakened, and that bothered me. I couldn't think of who she had seen, and who had died that it could of been. Rose has been with Lissa a long time, so maybe he saw them before the accident with Lissa's parents and that is how he knows her.

Theory Two could be right too..cos Richelle has already said that Adrian has become a bigger character in the books than she first intended him to be. Since he is a spirit user and loves Rose, he could heal Dimitri and die doing it..sacraficing himself for his love for her.

Ok OK OK now I am totally excited to read BP..roll on August 25...ONLY 26 MORE DAYS !!!!!!!!!!!!

I also think that there is a possibility that the blonde strigoi could be someone from Portland or one of the other schools lissa and rose were at while away from st vlads.... maybe they found out wat they were... Jeremy???

oooo good call..that could be, although I think he is tied closer to them..like being a royal or something

Ok people, what is it with every one and wanting dimitri 2 come back? hez a lame character! and all this talk about him being her true love? that isn't what the story is about, Richelle mead didn't write these fantastic books to end up a becoming a corny love story like twilight, anyway he's a pedophile for having sex with her while shez underage. besides Rose and Dimitri can't even have kids! wats the point?

Ok first off show me one part in the book that talks about Rose even wanting kids..cos I can't find one.
We all have our idea of how we think the next book should go, but no matter who Rose ends up with we will love them ( ok not anyone).
The reason we love Dimitri so much is cos he puts that stability into Rose that no one else can.
How can you say that the books aren't about love? Yes I agree that they are about so much more. But even before Dimka came alond, there was the love that Lissa and Rose shared as best friends. They are close as sisters, and that is love right there. Remember that Dimka and Rose are not the only loving couple in this series..there was first Lissa and Aaron..and now Lissa and Christian. Aside from loving couple..the book is about close friends going through hard times together..friendships built on LOVE!

Ultimately everyone of us that has read this series, gets something different out of it. So no matter how you see the book it will never be the same as how I or anyone else does. For those of us that want to see Dika come back to be with Rose..that is our fantasy..and for those of us that want to see Rose stake Dimka and be with Adrian that is their fantasy. I can't speak for everyone but, for me the book is about love. Not only for Rose and Dimka..or Christian, Lissa, Adrian..Eddie..but for them all. Lets not forget how much Mason loved Rose, he died trying to save her, but deep down her knew she didn't love him. He did it cos he loved her, and wanted her to live.

I see so many things in these books..adventure, frienship, mystery, caring, learning, and yes love. For me they are not only love stories but so much more. They are learning to get along, and how to beat the things that face them. I don't think its so much different from what we face on a daily bases..it just add's super natural abilities to it.

Oops rambling again Sorry
