HELLO MY READERS!

I am rewriting all of the chapters for "Not How It Should Be." I was very young when I began and I am no longer proud of my story but I still have the idea rolling around in my head. But before I update, I am posting all the chapter again. I really want to give all of you the best writing that I can, so I thought that it necessary to rewrite before I added. Please do take the time to read the new chapters as there will be much more happening in the plot than before. Along with much more detail.

I will be taking down the old chapters by the end of the day today, so that newcomers can just read the story straight through from the updated point. I really hope you all like me rewrites. I have so much of myself invested into these stories and I really want to make sure I am giving you the best writing I can.

So here is the first chapter again, I hope you all like it.

"Come on Rose! You are almost done!" Dimitri encouraged me as I ran lap after lap on the track. Today was a day devoted to endurance training and our first day back at training.

It had been a few weeks after the attack on the school. Dimitri had decided that we both needed a few weeks break to make sure we were fully healed before continuing with our training. And what did he do the first day back, we ran. Well, I ran. He wanted to see if my endurance had gotten better since that first day back at the academy, so I had an hour to run as many miles as I could, the goal was to surpass six miles and right now I was coming up on starting my eighth. My legs were burning with the strain that they were under, my breath coming in hard fast pants. Dimitri had a record of running eleven and a half miles in an hour and I wanted to beat his time. I could hear Dimitri shouting words of encouragement as I ran.

"Time!" I heard him yell. And seconds later I collapsed on the ground breathing hard. "Good job, Roza!" He was a lot closer to me now.

"Ugh!" I exclaimed. "Everything hurts."

He chuckled as he grabbed my foot ad stretched my hamstring. "I am sure it does, but you ran just under ten miles. You surpassed my expectations."

"Oh that feels good," I moaned as he created a deeper stretch. "You know what I think you should do tonight because I exceeded your expectations?"

"Oh Roza!" He chuckled shaking his head and switched legs. "What do you think I should do tonight?"

"I think I should get a very hot leg massage and then some loving," I replied huskily.

"What am I going to do with you?"

For the past few nights Dimitri had been sneaking into my room, I have no idea how he got a key. But I am sure it was to be able to "keep an eye on" me. We hadn't done anything more than cuddle but I really loved sleeping in his arms.

"I know exactly what you should do to me," I smirked at the way his eyes darkened with lust.

"Roza, you have one week until your birthday. Why don't I wait to ravish you when its legal?" He whispered as he helped me up. I was just now noticing the people populating campus, it was that time again.

"I guess I could wait," I said a little disappointed. But then the best idea popped into my head! "Sure Comrade, we can wait," I smiled widely at him.

He gulped, "Why do I feel like this will be the longest week of my life?"

"Because it will be, I love you!" I grabbed my bag and headed back to my dorm. It was going to be a fun week. I was going to make Dimitri want me so badly that he would loose control.

I changed into a pair of skin tight jeans that made my butt look amazing, and a very tight green button-up sweater with the first few buttons undone, you could just began to see the lace of my bra. I then packed my gym bag with a tight pair of black booty shorts and a sports bra. We didn't really have a dress code for combat class, you just had to be in clothes that you could maneuver in easily. I headed down to the cafeteria with about thirty minutes before my first class.

"Hey Lissa!" I greeted her as I dropped my stuff down at the table, excited to dive into my breakfast. Training with Dimitri made my already massive appetite skyrocket.

"Hi Rose!" She exclaimed, I could tell that she was excited from the bond. Too excited, uh oh.

"Uh, Lissa why are you like so excited?"

She gave me a duh look, "It's your eighteenth birthday next week!"

"Yeah Rosie posie!" Christian said from next to her. Both Lissa and Christian had no idea about my relationship with Dimitri.

"So it's my birthday in a week, whats the big deal?" I asked her, hoping she didn't want to throw a party. All I wanted was a romantic night with Dimitri in the cabin. I smiled thinking about the cabin and how amazing that night was before the attack.

"Rose! It is your eighteenth birthday! You will finally be a woman! We need a huge party!" Lissa exclaimed exasperated. I could feel her frustration with me.

I looked up and saw Dimitri staring at me from across the room. I took a spoonful of the yogurt I was eating and ate it slowly making eye contact with him as I did.

"Wow, Buffy. Didn't realize you and your yogurt needed a room," Christian said snickering. I looked over at Dimitri and winked. I could see him groaning. He turned around and walked quickly out of the cafeteria.

"Yes, and its dick is bigger than your's sparky."

"But it doesn't . . . Hey!" He exclaimed realizing what I said. I chuckled and could see Lissa trying not to laugh.

"So do you want to throw me a party, Lissa?" I asked turning to her. Lissa always wanted to throw parties, anytime there was a celebration she wanted a party. And birthdays were the utmost important to her.

"Well . . ." she said dragging out the word, "I was hoping you would let me throw a party." I could see her biting her lip nervously and waiting for my reaction.

"Do we have to do a party?" I asked her groaning. "Why not just dinner? I don't want to make a big deal out of this."

"Of course we can do a dinner!" She sounded so excited and I could feel pride coming through the bond. I slipped into her head to find out why she was so proud.

"Lissa! You originally wanted a dinner and asked for a party on purpose," I said to her frustrated.

"Well, would you have said yes to a dinner?" She asked me looking me in the eye before I could respond, "Exactly why I did it. And there will be presents at this dinner so just sit back and say thank you later!" The bell rang silencing, Lissa's justification.

I grumbled while the three of us got ready to attend class. The field experience ended early because of the attack since so many senior novices had fought along side Guardians. Our class time was now devoted what to do after an attack and how to help the Mori heal. Which my opinion was bullshit, I think us dhampirs suffered more. We were the ones in the actually attack, we lost friends and family. Not the other way around, but you can't argue with the Queen.

I walked in and sat down in my first class, our entire schedules had been rearranged. Normally it would be combat training but now it was battle strategy, or "combat perfecting" as I liked to call it. Everyday a different Guardian would teach the class and showed us videos of the field experience and go over how to change the outcome. Pretty much every novice had seen a video with them in it but I still hadn't, even though I knew things I could have changed.

"Rose, do you think they will show that epic fight with you and Dimitri?" Eddie asked me as I sat down.

"I doubt it, it looks like they are just showing videos of people who didn't do well," I told him. Though I do wish they had caught it on camera. Dimitri and I were so evenly matched that it really was epic.

We were all sitting around chatting as we waited for the Guardian to come in. I liked that we had a different teacher everyday, I really hoped Stand didn't teach it though. He would for sure show the videos of me looking like an idiot and not doing anything to defend Christian.

"Good morning class." I would recognize that Russian accent anywhere, Dimitri stood in front of the room. Everyone straightened out getting prepared for the day. I could here some whispers going around about the "God" teaching us today. "For the past few weeks we have highlighted your mistakes, today will be a little different. Today we will be focusing on your strengths." He pushed a few buttons on the computer and a video started playing.

I gasped realizing the video was of me and Dimitri fighting. I could hear Dimitri going over everything that we had done. The video progressed until I had him pinned. I was straddling his hips and I could feel myself blushing at how compromising the position was.

"Woo!" I could hear Eddie cheering. "Take a bow Rose!" I giggled and stood up and took a bow, making sure my cleavage was on full display for Dimitri, making eye contact with him. I saw him swallow. I winked at him and sat down in my seat.

"Alright everyone, lets settle down," Dimitri commanded as the class was cheering. No one in the field experience was able to take down Dimitri so it was amazing that I was able too. "I would really like to point out how Rose was able to use my own body weight against me, most females struggle with their opponents out weighing them. Size can be a huge hindrance, the goal is trying to be able to use your size to an advantage and your opponents as a disadvantage. Lets take another quick look at this video when Rose uses her height as a way to get around me." Dimitri pushed play on the video again highlighting a certain point in time. I noticed that all throughout class Dimitri avoided looking at me.

"Good bye Guardian Belikov," I said in a husky voice as I walked out of the class. I made sure to add an extra sway into my hips as I walked away. I could practically hear him grind his teeth.

I skipped next to Eddie on our way to out next class, happy that I was obviously making Dimitri regret waiting. We walked into the gym and headed to our respective locker rooms. I changed into my very small black shorts, my ass slightly peaking out. And a sports bra that was just one size too small. My breasts were pushed up showing glorious cleavage. I wasn't going to be the only one dressed in super small clothes, most girls didn't bother with shirts and same with guys.

I met everyone outside and helped lead warm ups before we all headed to the weight room. Just because we didn't have combat class didn't mean we had to drop conditioning. I knew my body looked great. My legs were long for a dhampir and muscular leading to a bubble butt. Thank you squats. My arms and tummy were toned, giving me a fitness model body. All dhampir girls had curves but thanks to my extra training my body was much more toned and my curves much more noticeable.

I could feel Dimitri's eyes on me as I worked out with my classmates. We were doing legs and I knew my ass looked good. I noticed every guy looking at me as I finished up my last few reps. I smirked and then went up to Dimitri.

"Comrade? Will you help me stretch my hamstrings?" I asked him looking up at him beneath my lashes. He swallowed loudly and nodded. We both head toward the mat and I laid down sticking one leg up in the air for him to stretch. I could see the beginning of a little chubby.

I heard a lot of groans as Dimitri pushed my leg further back. "All of you! Back to work!" Alberta shouted. She probably just came in. "Well, Rose. You look like you are enjoying yourself," she said as she came in my line of sight.

"Oh yeah! This stretch feels amazing! My hamstrings are so tight from all that running this morning and then all the legs we did," I moaned a little as Dimitri pushed a little further.

"Well, I want to speak with both you and Guardian Belikov later this week. As I am sure you heard about him asking to be reassigned, there is much to discuss," she gave me a pointed look before walking away.

The week was about halfway over and operation seduce Dimitri was well underway. My outfits kept getting skimpier and skimpier, until they came to a very very short mini skirt that was so short Dimitri had to escort me back to my room. But today I opted for a different tactic, I was in skin tight jeans and one of Dimitri's flannel shirts. I had tied it to accent my curves and to show off just enough for the imagination to run wild. He had seen so much skin lately that showing just a little would have his thoughts X rated.

"Rose not that I mind or anything, but why are you acting so . . . so ummm seductive?" Eddie asked as we made our way to Stan's class.

I laughed, "Oh Eddie! I think you forgot what I was like before Guardian Belikov started training me." I winked at him as we kept walking. We quickly made it to the Devil's class, also known as Stan.

"So how long before you get kicked out?" Eddie asked as we took out seats. I had never managed to make it a full class period before, and I am pretty sure the novices and the Guardians took bets on how long it would be.

"You have such little faith in me!" I gasped. I saw Eddie roll his eyes before turning forward. Stan walked into the room scowling at me, and probably grumbling about all the noise.

"Well class, if you are all done chatting. Why don't we begin?" He commanded more than he asked. His class was the worst. Stan's class was used as time to go over the grades each novice was getting and if it was realistic for them to graduate, in addition to how Strigori attacks would affect out Mori. Of course Stan liked to point out how I missed two years and that Lissa would probably be traumatized for the rest of her life. Ugh.

We had finally gotten done with class and somehow I managed not to get kicked out for the first time ever. I was grabbing my stuff and just about to walk out the door with Eddie when I was stopped.

"Miss Hathaway, I would like to speak with you for a moment. Don't worry I will write you a pass to your next class," Stan said to me.

Alright everyone!

I hope that you enjoyed the rewrite of the first chapter, my chapters are going to be much longer than they were originally so that more can happen in the story.
