A/N: Hey everyone! So this is a Bloodlines inspired FanFic. It follows Sydney, Adrian, Jill, Eddie and a few new characters in their journey through high school and the mysterious workings around them.

It may be a little confusing for some, I have set it before and after Bloodlines. Some things that happened in Bloodlines haven't happened yet, however there are other things that have happened. Sorry if that confuses anyone.

You will soon know what has happened and what hasn't.

I have changed a few characters just to make this a little more my own story!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Vampire Academy or Bloodlines

A quick dedication to pink n pretty barbie and Kaze Karter - You both inspired me to write my own Sydrian fanfic!

PLEASE REVIEW, I need your opinions!

Enjoy :D

SYDNEY POV

Tired and annoyed, that seemed to be a regular occurrence in my moods lately. I didn't understand the tired, but I fully understood the annoyed. Adrian. He was the cause, as usual. I didn't know why he infuriated me so much, it just always seemed to happen. One minute we would be swapping witty comments back and forth, next we were at each other's throats.

I slumped myself backwards, feeling myself relax slightly in the comfort of my bed. It was only this morning that Adrian sat here, joking with Jill and me while he and Eddie waited for us to get ready for breakfast. All seemed normal.

He had improved his attitude and controlled his drinking – which made me happy of course – meaning he really was making an effort to change his habits. He even caught the bus to get here just for breakfast.

Of course, the good attitude didn't last. As per usual, whenever Adrian began to impress me, he let me down.

Why did he forever try to convince me that he wanted to do something with his life, but then when I help him, he just goes and throws it back in my face?

I became agitated thinking about it so I decided to just head straight to bed. I hoped I could forget about Adrian. Well, try to at least.

Sleep came to me easily as I was exhausted and not trying to fight it while doing homework. I drifted off quickly finding myself dreaming. A large bedroom materialized before me, I could not believe the vividness of the dream. I did not recognise the room, but I appreciated the taste of whomever it belonged to.

Navy blue curtains covered the two long windows on the opposite wall to the door, no sign of light seeping through the cracks. A large bed was centred in the room, covered in navy blue pillows and a doona with an intricate pattern that filled the end.

The décor was simple, but nice. Lamps that matched the curtains were stationed on the two dark timbered night stands, glowing in the otherwise black room.

I was about to turn away from the room and explore the rest of the house when I heard a soft noise come from a side door that I presumed was a wardrobe. I was proven correct when a figure immerged from inside, pulling on a teal coloured t-shirt. I glanced below the line of the t-shirt and was taken aback by the perfectness of the figure's skin. His body – in my world – was perfect. It wasn't scrawny where only skin and bone existed, but wasn't over-toned with nothing but muscle.

A subtle cough snapped me out of trance. In my slight distraction, I had not realised that the figure had looked up to acknowledge my presence. I looked up to see who had joined my dream but couldn't supress the anger and agitation I had felt towards him before I had fallen asleep.

"Ugh. How did I not see this coming?" He was the only person I had been thinking about before I went to sleep, so of course he would be in my dream.

"Sage, your excitement is just overwhelming." Adrian's casual yet sarcastic tone didn't help my mood. Why was everything so realistic? He had got his shirt on by now and was walking closer to where I stood. I backed away slightly, not wanting to be too close to the creature that had invaded my dreams. He reached a mirror, then styled his hair into his perfect yet messy do that only Adrian could manage.

I chose to leave the room in an attempt to get out of the dream, hopefully able wake up, but Adrian blocked my path. "Adrian, please move." I don't really know why I bothered with him at this point; I mean, it was only a dream. Right? Sure didn't feel like one though.

"Come on Sage. Don't you want to spend some time getting to know me?" He flashed a grin at me, softening my agitation. But that didn't mean I had forgiven him.

"I've known you for almost a month and all you have really done is gotten yourself drunk, letting a fifteen-year-old girl suffer along with you through the hangover, because you are too welled up in self-pity to think of anyone but yourself. Half the time you just use your witty comments to get a laugh and annoy whoever you feel like, and to top it all off, you're usually the cause of my bad moods!" Ok, I knew it was harsh, but it wasn't like I was saying it to his face. I was just glad to get this all off my chest.

"That has nothing to do with you." His tone was full of sorrow and I knew which of my comments he had responded to. He was constantly thinking of Rose and how much she hurt him, so he turned to drinking to cure his sadness.

"Well when you make my life so much harder than it has to be because I am constantly trying to clean up after you, then yeah it has everything to do with me." I shot back at his remark, he was so self-centred.

"Why do you hate me so much? I get it that you think I am this evil creature of the night, but I'm not quite as evil as you think"

"I don't hate you. You just infuriate me the way everything always has to be about you." Ouch, another slap in his face. It probably just rolled right off though.

"Well then, you clearly don't know me very well. I happen to put many before myself." He chuckled at his formal remark, back to his usual attitude, and stepped away.

"I'd like to see the day when that happens."

I kept my distance from Adrian while I walked over to the couch – that I had not noticed before – placed between the two windows. I could sense Adrian behind me so I sat to the far end, leaving a large gap between us when he sat down.

I felt uneasy being on the receiving end of his stare when I noticed his eyes move up and down. It wasn't in his typical checking-a-girl-out kind of way, but more curiosity.

"I don't understand you sometimes, Sage. You are not an easy person to read." His eyes studied me further, I frantically wished in my head for this dream to end. Adrian must have noticed me tense as he looked away, expression apologetic.

"Isn't my mood enough for you? I could scream if you like, but being melodramatic has never been my thing." I received a slight sound of laughter from Adrian from that remark and felt…odd – there wasn't any other way to describe it – inside. It wasn't sick, repulsed or anything that I thought I would feel while sitting next to a vampire. It was…comforting, I think.

"Ah, a hint of sarcasm has made its way to Miss Sydney Sage's vocabulary. Who would have thought we would see this day?" Adrian chuckled again, I couldn't help but smile. "There it is, I knew you had a smile hidden deep within you somewhere."

"You know, for someone who I can't stand to be around and someone who makes me so mad all the time, you are one of the only people who can really make me smile." I would never dare say that to the real Adrian, but I figured at least if I say it now it feels like I have said it to him.

A grin formed on Adrian's lips, he actually appeared taken aback and slightly embarrassed, he looked vulnerable as if he had let his guard down. "You really mean that, don't you?" His tone was filled with disbelief. Was it really that hard for him to believe?

"I do, but why are you so surprised?" I questioned his reaction, wondering what had caused his usual barrier of a cocky attitude to fall down.

"I-I'm not really surprised. I'm just –"A stutter. An actual stutter came from Adrian Ivashkov's mouth. I could not believe what I was hearing. I eyed him with a yeah-right smirk. "Okay, so maybe I am surprised. But can you blame me?" He stood up and paced back and forth in front of the couch, running his hands through his hair.

"I'm not accusing you Adrian." I responded, looking up at his face filled with emotions that I could not read. "I was just curious to know why you are so surprised." His tone had snapped from vulnerable to angry in a few seconds, now I was the one surprised at his sudden mood change.

He sat back down beside me, closer than he was before. In fact a little too close for comfort. However, the close proximity and having him stare directly into my eyes enabled me to see him closely. His eyes caught me off guard, I was lost in a sea of emerald green. They were beautiful. So beautiful that it caused a fluttery feeling to form inside of me.

In my lost trance I hadn't fully noticed his change in expression. As I studied his eyes further, I noticed that they now showed…adoration? That wasn't possible. How could I be stupid enough to think he would ever display that in his eyes while staring into mine? But then again, this was a dream so everything that happened was in the control of my subconscious.

He snapped out of his trance and when he spoke he brought me back to the reality of the dream.

"If you had hung out with someone who constantly reminds you that you are some evil creature of the night when she jumps at almost every humanly movement or action, then to be told that you make her happy, would you be surprised?" He turned away from me, then stared down at his feet. Had I really just upset him?

"Look Adrian, I'm sorry for the evil creature of the night thing, but that has been drilled into me ever since I could talk. It's hard to shake something like that. I guess you could say that your kind has been unfairly titled by the Alchemists, but I still haven't warmed up to you all. That doesn't mean I can't be happy around you though." As if I would really tell him that though.

I saw a similar smile play on his lips as I did before. This one was slightly different though, more of a knowing smile than actual happiness. "Thanks Sage. You know, you're not so bad…for an Alchemist." He flashed another grin at me, but I knew this one was his usual cocky, smartass expression.

I felt the same fluttery feeling within me as I did before. "Thanks Adrian. And you're a pretty decent guy…for an evil creature of the night." This time, the fluttery feeling intensified as I looked into his eyes – ones of which were studying me with happiness glinting within.

Adrian had moved closer to me while I had been staring into his eyes, but I didn't notice until I felt his hand touch my cheek. His touch was soft, so soft that I could almost convince myself that he was human. It was warm, too warm for what I expected from a vampire.

He held me there for a minute then brushed a few strands of my hair from my face, then rested his hand on my neck. He was closer now and I felt myself moving closer too. I felt the pressure of his thumb on my jawline as he lifted my head towards his. He cupped my face with both hands, inching his way towards me.

Our lips met in a soft, gentle touch that felt warm, sening my body into a frenzy of shudders. He was so beautiful. I felt so right with him right now that I lost all earlier thoughts of him being evil.

His touch was warm on my skin, soft and gentle against me. I forgot all my previous thoughts about him and how he made me so mad all the time. I forgot who he really was because only one thing mattered in that moment, him.

I could feel him speeding up the kiss, eager for more. In his attempts to keep it sweet – but still passionate – I felt a very slight nip on the corner of my bottom lip. That's when I realised what was happening. I was kissing a vampire. I was kissing a vampire.

ADRAIN POV

I didn't know why I was doing it, but after staring into a world of molten gold I lost all self-control. I held her face in my hands, not caring what I was about to confess – not that I was really confessing much since Sydney was unaware that this was a spirit dream and this was actually happening.

Her eyes were so beautiful, filled with such power that they had me filling with nerves. How was it that I was nervous? I had kissed many girls before without a single hesitation. Why was this any different?

I leant in closer to her, thrilled that she did not pull away. As our lips met, it was needless to say that sparks flew. Literally. Her aura was so bright that it blinded me through my closed eyes. Although she seemed so happy, she didn't fully respond to the kiss. I was slightly disappointed.

The nerves were still high on the scale, I felt giddy in her presence, but I had to supress them. I focused on her, her aura, her fragrance.

I kept the kiss soft and gentle, not wanting to disrespect her. I finally felt her responding the way I wanted her to, the electricity that sparked between us overwhelmed me and I could not hold back. I increased the kiss, feeling my fang accidently nip her lower lip. Damn! You idiot!

Her hands hit my chest hard and she pushed me away. She shot up off the couch, running to the door. I sat where she left me, stunned at her sudden reaction. My mood sunk below my reach, I was hurt.

I stood up and walked towards her, hoping I could reach out to her. She moved in sync with my steps, making it impossible for me to get any closer to her.

"Don't!" Her voice was scared. Not scared of another kiss, scared of...me. "Don't come near me!"

"Sydney, please. I won't hurt you." I tried to keep the hurt from my voice, but it was difficult. "Please trust me."

"Why would I trust you? You are evil! An evil creature. You cannot be trusted. You feed from humans, I am human. You are sick and evil, stay away from me!" With her damaging words, she left the room and I let the dream fade.

Back in the real world I was on my bed, curled on my side. I glanced over to the window, feeling the pain I wished I could forget. I was looking directly at the couch that Sydney had just shared one of the best moments of my life. Only to have it shattered within a few seconds.

My eyes fell on the position in front of the dresser where I had stood, pleading with her to return and trust me. The pain was unbearable. I had just lived a nightmare. Sydney's last words ached through my heart – You are sick and evil, stay away from me! It wasn't so much what she said that had hit me hard, it was the way she said it, full of fright and fear. She feared me and didn't ever want to be near me again.

I curled back up and hugged my pillow to sleep, fighting back the urge to scream into the night.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed that.

Please, please, please review. I would really love to know what you think!
