This will be alittle different from the books but will start at the point where Rose leaves the ball after the confrontion with her mum. Some of the past thing havn't happened and some things are out of place. If you get confused write me and I'll see what I can do to straighten it out.

Enjoy and don't forget to let me know what you think! In other words REVIEW!

Rose sat down. She could just see the sun peaking its head up from over the clouds. Her internal thoughts wizzed around her head so fast not even she could tell what she was thinking, but there was a common theme, Dimitri.

She loved him with all her heart, she had given herself to him in every way possible but it didn't seem to matter. Maybe the saying 'Life isnt always fair' should be 'life isnt just not fair, but it likes to build your hope before smashing not fair upon you' she sighed and looked back at the sun rising upon the snowy mountian. She lent back closing her eyes as a tear leaked out.

Dimitri watched as Rose was pulled from the hall by an irate Guardian Hathaway. He sighed and looked around, a few of the Moroi were looked at the spot that had previously been occupied by Rose and whispering at the lone figure that has been left behind. Dimitri noticed that Adrian looked shocked as he finished the remainer of his glass as headed toward the bar. He sighed again looking at the clock, 10 mintues until the end of his shift.

"Wow Guardian Hathaway did a number on her huh?" said the Guardian standing next to him, with a bemused look on his face,

Dimitri just nodded, he didn't like the look on the guardian's face,

"She sure looked hot though, right? I mean wow, no wonder her mum went spaz."

Dimitri nodded again, his mask in place

"you're her mentor right? Wouldn't mind a few training session with her" he said with a wink, wiggle of his eyebrows and a laugh

Dimitri was glad he had so much practice holding his mask on his face and his emotion in check, or he would a punched the guy in the face, as it was he raised his eyebrow at the man.

The guy seemed to get the hint as he resumed the silence they'd been in before. Looking back at the clock he sighed again, time was going slower then normal and he just wanted to see her. He knew that he shouldn't, that he needed to put distance between them but the hurt on her face cut him deep and he just wanted make sure she was okay.

With just a minute left and as his replacement approached he spoted Tasha also approaching. She waited to the side and as soon as he had finished the debrief with the replacement, he walked over to her.

"Hey Dimka, I guess you got prime seats to Rose's humiliation huh?" she said with a small laugh, I knew she didn't mean it in a mean way but I answered a little harshly anyway,

"Well who bought her that dress to begin with?"

Hurt flashed across her face as she gasped, "Oh my, I never meant to…" she lead off horrified that she had been the cause.

"It's not your fault, It was a beautiful dress" I felt bad for snaping at her, and sighed again and looked away, I seemed to be doing that a lot laterly.

She must have heard something in my voice as she pulled me further away from the entrace we had just walked out of, towards a sucluded courtyard.

"Dimka?" she asked "whats up, really?"

I looked at her, masked back on, "nothing."

"Dimka you're my best friend, I know something is wrong" she hesitated and looked around before continuing "is it … is it Rose? I know you're her mentor, but I cant help but feel.." she left her sentence drop off as she studied my face. I looked away. She gasped again,

"Dimitri" she said in a shocked and slightly disapproving voice, she never called me that always Dimka, crap I was in for it.

"What Natasha?" I said

"Tell me its not true, tell me your not sleeping with a student"

I glared at her dissapproving tone, "im not just sleeping with a student, im in love with Rose" I snapped back.

"Oh Dimka," she said shaking her head "how could you" she turned and walked away from me leaving me in the freezing courtyard, I sat on a bench as looked towards the rising sun. Closing my eye I rested my head back against the wall.

Like? Hate? Let me know! I've got the next few chapters already written so inspire me to update :P REVIEW
