Lovely readers I do not own any of these characters and they all belong to the wonderful writer Richelle Mead. Hope you like the story!

A surprise from Dimitri..

It was another day of a training with a lot of running and running and running.. but there was something different about Dimitri today. I asked him after what seemed like my 50st lap "comrade why do you have such a big smile on your face" he answered "you'll find out soon enough, maybe I just like to see you running." Well okay that was a bit odd but weird is something he could be. After I was done running I asked him if we could really get to the fighting today. "Well Roza that was what my smile was about, you have reached the stage where you can finally learn how to use your stake. And if you succeed on getting through my defence three times I have a little surprise for you." Wow that didn't was what I expected but I couldn't be happier. Finally getting closer to really learning how to keep Liss safe. "Well we better keep going then because you know how I think about surprises and protecting Liss of course."

It was almost end of the training and I had only gotten through his defence two times, I needed a surprise attack. Instead of running forward I turned around and ran through the back of the gym which got him a bit off guard. After that I ran up the wall jumped over some high obstacles and swung around a boxing sack and landed at his back. I have been practising this for some times now and he didn't see it coming so there I had him YES! "Well done comrade where did you pick that up?" "Oh you know a bit of wanting to impress you and maybe get a real compliment again since that has been a while ago already." "I have to say you did truly amazing Roza (how I loved it when he pronounced my name like that) I am really proud to see how you got so good so quickly and you have earned your surprise more than likely." He said. "Tell me please… I have been dying to know since you told me". "I know I know… that's what is making it even more fun. I have arranged with headmistress Kirova that you and I are going on a training weekend near a stream in quite a warm part of this country since I know how much you love swimming (how did he know? I probably brought it up once or twice..). And you are really almost ready for your exam so I do think that If we have a weekend with you and the stake and getting your mind of things a bit you will succeed. "And yes I know you are worrying about Lissa but she'll get extra security from my nephew whom I have invited". "Wow nephew, can I meet him first.. After a long silence I said: "ofcourse to know if he'll be good enough for Liss". He laughed a little, something I loved, a real laugh of him. Of course you may I think you might like him even. Meet us after lunch at the training place outside and bring Liss too. After we had done that I knew Liss was in good hands, and Dimitri told me to go packing since we left first thing in the morning.. So excited!

This is actually my first attempt at writing and I hope you guys like it, let me know! Ill update soon when I have figured out what to do next with them.. Anyone a suggestion?
