I don't own any of the characters or setting in this story it belongs to Vampire Academy. I did write the story although, hope you enjoy.

This story is about what happened after book 6 (in my version) with all the same characters, same places, and possibly new ones (I'm not sure yet.)

I remembered the last time I laid with Dimitri, I missed him so much (even though I had Lissa finally with me.) We were at Lehigh and tomorrow we will bee seeing Dimitri and Christan for the first time in six months. I still couldn't figure out who was more excited Lissa or me.

"Rose, Rose!" Lissa yelled with excitement.

"Yea what's up?"

I stared at her smile for a second, and noticed one of her other guardians giving me an evil look.

"I mean do you need something, your highness,"

"You don't need to talk to me like that, you know that,"

"To him I do," I said as I realized I was actually pointing at the guardian right in the face.

"Okay well guess what…we get to go back to court today instead of tomorrow!"

"Alright! When do we leave?"

"Now,"

You're probably wondering why we're seeing them at court? It's only because we decided to keep Christian there because of how Lissa's always there now that she queen.

"Wait Liss you never said why we were going there a day early?"

She swallowed and I realized it couldn't be good. "Strigoi attacked, strigoi that knew Dimitri."

All this made me remember what Dimitri went through in the ally with Donovan. But this time he didn't have me to talk to, to comfort him, to know what he was going through.

"Was anyone hurt?"

"They didn't say,"

"Why! Why wouldn't they say?"

"Because it didn't happen at court, it happened near a store outside of court. And somehow they knew he was going to be there, they were prepared.

"Shit!"

After about an hour of our silent plane ride we pulled into court, everything back to normal, even Christian standing there waiting…. But no Dimitri. Lissa ran right up to Christian and hugged him tightly, like I planned to do with Dimitri.

"Christian! Where's Dimitri?" I yelled not even caring about there small embrace.

"He's at the court hospital,"

Hearing that made me run as fast as I could, and that's fast thanks to Dimitri's training. I heard Christian yell something but I could only make out a few words. "He's not-" well that didn't help, that just made me think of worse things, was he going to say he's not stable, he's not awake, or even he's m=not alive! But that last one wasn't possible with Dimitri, was it?

I walked into his room slowly, afraid what was happening, afraid what I was going to see. But all there was, was a nurse finishing up wrapping up his ankle.

"Oh thank god," I mumbled as I ran up to him and hugged tightly, I felt him grab my back and lift me up on the bed next to him.

"I've missed you Roza," there that name was again with that soft Russian voice. But that feeling of worry came back and made me hug him again "I've missed you so much," feeling his hair in my hand.

"What's wrong?" I felt him cup his hand around my face.

"Nothings wrong anymore,"

"Come on what is wrong," he paused for a minute, "You weren't worried about me were you?"

"Do you remember when we said we had to trust each other, especially when it came to fighting. Well that's what we need to do," he had interrupted me before I could say another single word.

"I was more worried about you emotionally,"

"I've forgiven myself you know that,"

"I know but…" he reached down and kissed me before I could say another word.

He grabbed my face and pulled it up to his not even a centimeter away. "So we have a week together what do we do?"

All I did was sit there and smile.

We pulled ourselves together when we got into his bedroom. Kissing starting soft but getting stronger, and stronger as we got more into. He ripped my shirt off rubbing his hand all over my back then pulling my jeans off. As I started pulling him on the bed I pulled his shirt off, and not long after did everything else come off.

When it was done we just laid there next to each smiling, but nothing else. Until I started playing with his hair, I noticed how he stared at my face almost studying it.

"What?" I pulled a questioning face.

"How did I end up with you? You're just so beautiful. Almost perfect, Roza I love you,"

"You know sometimes I think the same thing about you," I sat there staring in his brown eyes, that I could drown in.

"I still can't figure out how I survived six months without you,"

"Neither can I, but I didn't stop thinking about you that's for sure,"

"I love you," he grabbed my ribs and pulled me on top of him but the pain from being shot didn't help it just made me wince in pain.

"Oh I'm sorry, I almost forgot," he took me into a hug as I laid on him. And he started kissing me very hard. And as if he was going to turn and land on me (which I thought he was) he got off.

"Hey what gives?"

"Nothing, but you're not fully healed and I don't want to hurt you,"

"I'm fine do whatever you want, no matter what it does to me,"

"I guess you'll just have to wait,"

"But I'll be back in Lehigh by then, and I'll be fully healed in like a week in a half!" he didn't say anything but just grinned and reached down and kissed me. And he did the roll thing I was waiting for, and lots more. But of course he ruined it and got up.

"Do we have to go?" I whined.

"No I'm just getting something,"

He got up and reached into a drawer and pulled out a box.

"Here open it," I just looked at him and smiled, I couldn't believe he got me something. I slowly opened the box and giant big ruby hanging on it.

"It's beautiful, I love it and I love you,"

"Flip it over,"

I looked at the shiny back and engraved on it said, "I love you Roza,"

"Thank you, now I have to give you a present," I reached up and kissed him, as I swung my legs on his lap.

"It will remind you of me while your gone at Lehigh," he took the necklace and put it around my neck. For a minute I just stared at him happily.

"So comrade can we stay here all day!"

"We can stay here all week if you want to,"

"Just us all week I would do, but I don't know if Lissa would like not seeing me for that long,"

"Also there's somewhere I want to take you, we leave tomorrow,"

"Where?"

"It's a surprise Roza," he laughed.

"I hate surprises,"

"You'll like this one,"

"We'll just have to dodge Abe if we want to leave,"

My comment made him laugh like I wasn't being serious.

"I don't think it's possible especially since he hasn't seen you in six months,"

"There was a time when he hadn't seen me in seventeen years, I think he can survive six months,"

"I'm serious he's going to want to see you,"

"Fine I'll have breakfast with him before we leave,"

"He doesn't eat breakfast,"

"How much did you guys hang out while I was gone,"

"Well we had this giant talk about you that's all,"

"What did he say to you?"

"Nothing that's not worth having you," by then we both had both of our hands held together as he reached down and kissed me.

"Wait are we going to have to wait this long to see each other again?"

"Not long about two months, now that Lissa's queen. They had to keep you there so long to get used to the campus first.

"How is two months not long, that's sixty days!"

"I know I started missing you the first two days,"

"Oh yeah I started missing you the first two hours," we started kissing each other hard, and harder, and harder. Us guardians can take a punch, especially a kissing punch at least for me. But Dimitri was kissing me so hard that I fell on that bed on the start of it (and we were standing up). The only thing that kept him off of me was his arms which were on both side of my waist, causing us to look directly into each others eyes and I saw the lust and hunger for me in his eyes. But someone was knocking on that stupid door.

"Rose it's Abe!"

"Shit!" I whispered as we both jumped up and got our clothes back on.

"Hold on!" I yelled.

"Do you have a brush?"

"You're lucky my hair is long," he mumbled as he threw me the brush.

"Come in!"

"What took you so long?"

"Uhhhhh," Dimitri didn't know what to say.

"We just at lunch so we were just cleaning up," I helped Dimitri with the lie.

"And why don't I believe?"

"Why wouldn't you?"

"Maybe because on backwards and the kitchens a mess," Abe ended with a evil look at Dimitri an evil look.

"How's your chest?"

"Chest? Oh it's fine, almost fully healed even ask Dimitri," I said as I went up and kissed Dimitri deeply for about five seconds.

He just sat there almost blushing (he hates kissing in front of people, he has a private nature) but I love teasing him though.

"And how does he know this?"

"Dad, does it really matter," I said making him shut up over the fact that I called him dad.

"We'll have another talk in the woods like I promised,"

"Alright don't you have somewhere to be,"

"Actually, yes goodbye and nice seeing you Rose," he calmly walked out the door shooting me a glance before he left.

"Again I think you should run back to Russia,"

"I'm not going anywhere without you," he said as he tilted my head back with his hand on the back of my head. And for just a second we stared at each others eyes as he reached down and kissed me. But that moment was ruined when my phone started ringing. I didn't want to answer but I did.

"Hey Liss," But all of a sudden I felt something wrong in me. She wanted to know if I needed a room would Dimitri mind I stayed here or would he be mad.

"She wants to know if I need a room,"

"Why wouldn't you just stay here with me, you know you can. Unless you don't want to," Dimitri gave me a weird look.

"No I'm staying at Dimitri's, bye"

"Why would you ask me that? You probably aren't going to leave anyway,"

"I don't know, I just don't know,"

"Hey what's wrong? You know I love you,"

"I don't know what's wrong with me! I said that already," I was breaking for some reason.

"Hey what's wrong?" he grabbed my arms and put them at my side. "Is it spirit?" he sighed looking worried.

"I don't know I felt weird and I'm sorry. I think it's the spirit warring off,"

Even though the bonds gone with Lissa, I still have spirit in me. It hasn't warred off fully.

"It scares me, I only have a little spirit in me and I'm breaking, and Lissa has a lot imagine what's happening to her," I laid my head on his chest and actually started crying. Which I haven't done much of in my life, or in front of many people.

"It's okay Rose, Roza she'll be okay," he said with all seriousness in his face.

"No it won't be okay, when we're like thirty or forty she's going to go off the deep end and there's nothing I can do about that,"

"But you forgot when we're like thirty or forty I'll still be here," Dimitri said as he put my hair behind my ear.

"That won't help Lissa,"

"Well lets not worry about then."

"But there's something you need to worry about," he added because he noticed no smile.

Those words made get over myself, and just want to be with him. He kissed me not soft but just plain hard. Having me drop to the bed in the first thirty-five seconds.

"This is just how much I want you,"

"I love you,"

"I love you Roza,"

All this talking about how we felt caused him to do things no other girl could imagine. And as soon as we were to tired to do anything else, we just laid there holding each other face-to-face, and I fell asleep with his face in my mind.

I woke up to Dimitri gone and a note at the end of the bed. I got up and read it wondering what this all was about.

Roza,

Wear the black dress that's hanging in the closet with the necklace. And meet me with your suitcase at the bar near the airport at 11:00.

Love,

Dimitri

I just laughed at Dimitri's letter still trying to figure out where we were going. I also noticed a big suitcase at my feet. I don't know how he expects me to burn two hours not knowing the surprise.

I was surprised at the dress in the closet. It was the same exact black one I wore at the dance when I punched Mia, and when Victor put a spell on Dimitri and me where the heck did he find this. I went to find Lissa about us leaving not knowing if she knew or not.

I found her in Christians room(of course) but luckily they weren't doing anything or I would have thrown up, and would have never told them a thing. By the way they looked I don't even think they would have noticed if I was gone. Lissa was just sitting there in Christians arms looking comfy.

"Well hello love birds," I yelled.

"Hey," Lissa smiled, "You seem extra happy today,"

"Well yea,"

"Um I don't know I she should be her," Christian spoke out of nowhere, and why the hell wouldn't I be allowed!

"Hey!"

"Well Rose I don't know if-" Lissa was interrupted by the bathroom door opening.

"You guys know you're out of soup right?" Adrian came out of the bathroom and just stood there and stared at me for a minute.

"Don't give me that look Rose!" he said in a irritated voice and sat on the couch.

"What look?"

"The look that you actually feel bad,"

"Adrian I do-!"

"No! You don't, I doubt you've even thought about me since you've gotten back from Lehigh and got back in bed with Belikov,"

The sad thing was he was right I haven't really thought about him at all, and it made me feel bad.

"Adrian," "No let's end this conversation NOW!"

"Alright, Lissa I'm just over hear to tell you I'll be out of town for a few days,"

"Why?"

"Dimitri's taking me somewhere, I have no clue where or when we'll be back. I just know it requires a plane, and a nice dress,"

"That's why your so happy isn't it?"

"And other reasons,"

"I need a drink," he said getting up heading towards the door.

I gently grabbed his arm "Don't do this to yourself," he stared at me for a minute, and maybe he's listen.

"I didn't do this to myself, you did this to me,"

I can't believe he said that to me, and it was all mostly true I did break his heart and there's nothing much I can do about that. Lissa and Christian stared wide eyed at us because I don't think they've ever seen Adrian act like that.

"He didn't mean that," Lissa always tries to make me feel better.

"No, he did and it's all mostly true,"

"No it's not true,"

"Liss come on who broke his heart, who practically used him, and who cheated on him," I noticed how she went silent because she knew it was all true.

"Plus, I know how he feels when Lissa kissed Aaron and we broke up…. I was depressed," Christian thought it was the same thing but it was different.

"No it's different hers was just a kiss, I slept with someone else. I may have loved this person but it's still cheating,"

"But I had to leave the person I loved whether I liked it or not. I know that feeling,"

"Yea I guess but she loved you believe me I know that,"

"What is that supposed to mean!" Lissa yelled.

"I think you know, I mean it was your thoughts,"

"Now that's just gross to think about!" Christian said wide eyed.
