A/N- I don't own any of these characters! This is semi-different then most remakes of Shadow Kiss, but not much. R&R, lovies.

Chapter One:

"I love you, Roza." He kissed me again. "I'll always be here for you. I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

The words were wonderful and dangerous. He shouldn't have said anything like that to me. He shouldn't have been promising he'd protect me, not when he was supposed to dedicate his life to protecting Moroi like Lissa. I couldn't be first in his heart, just like he couldn't be first in mine. That was why I shouldn't have said what I said next-but I did anyway.

"And I won't let anything happen to you," I promised. "I love you." He kissed me again, swallowing off any other words I might have added.

We lay there for a while after that, wrapped in each other's arms, not saying much. Soon enough, we were both asleep. My mind was sucked into Lissa's and I felt her worry.

"What's taking them so long? I'm sure Guardian Belikov wouldn't take this long to clean Rose up and clam her down. Christian, I'm so worried," Lissa said pacing outside, where the fight with Jesse and Ralf had happened. She turned to look at the path Dimitri had taken me. Suddenly, Christian's arms were around her and her was kissing her head. "I'm going to find them. This is my fault, for using the magic," Lissa said turning to Christian.

Christian nodded. "Let's go," he said, taking Lissa's hand. Lissa gripped his hand a followed the fresh foot prints. Ahead of her she could see the faint glow of the candle in the cabin-

Crap, I have to wake up. I have to get up and dressed.

-Christian turned the knob of the cabin door and pushed it open. They both looked in and gasped.

"Rose!" Lissa screached and I blinked. I knew what she saw without having to be in her head. Myself and Dimitri, unclothed, laying on the bed. She watched me with hurt eyes, as I scurried to pull my clothes on. "Why didn't you tell me? Oh God, I should have known. The way you both look at each other, the way you talk about him...Oh my, God," Lissa spluttered.

Dimitri was up and dressed, by the time I had buttoned my jeans. "Lissa, you can't tell anyone. Please, do this for me?" I said with pleading eyes. "Please?" Dimitri added. I knew how he felt. Pleading a Moroi, younger then him, to not tell our secret. "If you tell, I would get fired, but more importantly Rose would be expelled," he added.

Christian and Lissa shared a glance. Debating. Finally they had their answer...

-------------------------------------

Teehee, it's only the first chapter and there's already a cliffie.
Sorry this is so short, but I'll make sure there will be an extra long chapter soon.
So, there is that little green button that says "Reveiw", now not only would I like for you to click it, but so would Dimitri and Rose. :D They want that as much as they want Lissa and Christian to keep their secrets.
So, stay tuned for chapter two!
