This was originally supposed to be a one shot, so i apologize for the short chapters. They may get longer as the plot progresses.


Chapter 1

We were making our way out of the church when I heard Mia's shrill of laughter come from behind me. I turned around to see what she was laughing at when I saw some ice fall from the rooftop aimed perfectly for Lissa, I pushed her out of the way and I got the full impact of the freezing water. I was drenched from head to toe and utterly pissed;

"MIA! I know you did this!" I screamed at her in fury

"I don't know what you're talking about!" She sneered, her posse laughed.

I stomped my foot in anger and started towards her when Lissa's hand reached my shoulder;

"Don't worry about it Rose, she's not worth it." Lissa said to me with her calming gaze.

I calmed down and felt nothing but bitter cold, the ice running through my clothes and drenching my bones. "Come on, you should go back to your dorm and change before you freeze to death." Lissa suggested.

I nodded and told her i would see her at dinner, i started to head for my room but as soon as Lissa's calming presence had left i still felt pent up anger. I decided to head to the gym instead and workout and then use the showers; I started with a warm up run, i knew it was foolish to be running in wet clothes but i had no time to go back to my dorm.

I ran a few laps and then decided i'd better head for a shower before dinner time, I hadn't seen Dimitri since church and i wondered what he'd been up to all day. I felt a lot better once i was under the hot water and into warm clothes that I'd fortunately left in my locker.

Once I finally arrived at dinner I found that i no longer had an appetite, which was unusual for me. The gang waved me over to their table and i gladly joined, they gave me weird looks when they noticed I didn't have a plate towering with food like i usually did.

"Whoa, Rose, no food?" Christian said surprised.

I shrugged, i just wasn't feeling hungry. In fact i was feeling pretty tired and my mind kept wondering to my warm bed.

"Yeah Rose, why haven't you got food? That's not like you." Mason said raising his eyebrows.

I shrugged again and gave them my 'not hungry' excuse, Lissa gave me a concerned look but other than that everyone went back to their conversation. I excused myself halfway through dinner, I really was tired and thought an early night's sleep would do me good.

Everyone said their goodbyes and I gladly escaped the noisy hall, as soon as i got to my room i climbed into my covers not even caring about my clothes and instantly falling asleep.
