Summary: Dimitri and Rose haven't met yet. Rose was supposed to be Lissa's Guardian but the queen didn't agree. She sent Rose half way across the world to Guard Zach Sarcozy, Dimitri's father… RxD all the way

Chapter 1

At the moment I'm on a plane to Russia to meet my new charge. I'm still really pissed at the queen for doing this to me but Liss and I tried everything to change her mind but nothing worked. I've heard about my charge before, he lives in a dhampir commune and has the idea that dhampir women are only to be used as toys and slaves. I don't think our meeting will turn out well at all. But I can't punch him or anything or I'll go to jail, the queen made that point clear just before I left.

I got off the plane grabbed my bags and exited the airport. Zach Sarcozy had sleek black hair and green eyes, he was tall and muscular so you could barely tell he was Moroi. He would definitely put up a fight if a strigoi had come.

"Mr. Sarcozy" I greeted him. His eyes darted to me, lust filled his eyes only for a second then vanished.

"Guardian Hathaway, you look stunning" his eyes looked up and down my body with a permanent smirk plastered on his face. His eyes lingered on my chest for a few seconds before looking back into my eyes.

"Can't say the same about you" I said coldly, fighting against the urge to punch him in the face, perv. He just chuckled darkly.

"I like them feisty" he whispered to himself. I held back a snort, if he tries anything he won't know what hit him. Except for the fact I can't hit him… Fucking hell. He took me to his black SUV and I threw my bags in the back and got into the passenger seat. He drove since I didn't know my way around yet. He kept throwing glances in my direction making me feel uncomfortable but I didn't show it.

His house was two stories and looked really nice. It was plain white but had a massive front yard with a fountain in the middle. He was definitely rich, a rich snob like most the other moroi. Sarcozy gave me my own room, it was nothing special. I was only a dhampir in his eyes I don't need anything other than a dog house, dickhead. I had a single bed and a small cupboard in the room that was it. I put down my suitcase and unpacked my things.

Zach was waiting for my down stairs. "How do you like my home?" He asked casually.

"It's lovely" I said in a sickly sweet voice, yeah I thought his house was awesome but I wasn't going to tell him that. He just chuckled amused at my tone.

"Well, make yourself at home and dress up were going out for dinner tonight." He smirked and walked off. I really hate this man.

I wore a black strapless dress and we went out. It was a nice small restaurant but it was really boring. Many of Zach's 'friends' as he calls them, came and introduced themselves to me. They were all snobby rich moroi who thought they were better than everyone else. All in all, my first day was crap. I should of known it was going to get worse but the thought just slipped past my mind.

The next day I got woken up by Sarcozy slamming his fists on the door. "Get up and make me breakfast already you useless bitch!" He screamed through the door. Yeah, what a great start to an amazing day… not.

For one I couldn't cook, two we had nothing to cook and three I had nothing to cook with. So how he expected me to make breakfast was beyond me. Well I tried, I found some eggs and bacon and an old frying pan. I forgot to put cooking oil on the bottom so the eggs stuck and wouldn't come off and I burnt the bacon. Sarcozy came in just after I had stuffed everything up.

"Do you expect me to eat that?" He yelled in my face.

"Well, I'm here to guard you not be your fucking slave! You can cook for yourself!" I screamed back.

"No, you're here to do whatever I want you to do and if you don't obey my orders I will tell the queen and she will be happy to send you to jail." My eyes widened, that stupid queen bitch made a deal with him, she didn't care if I went to jail. One move and I'm out.

"Now listen here" He said lifting me up by my shirt collar. "Don't fight me back and do what the fuck I say when I say or you're stuck in jail for life"

"Fuck you, jail's probably better than this." I spat in his face.

"Too bad I know a few people who want the Dragomir princess dead and I won't hesitate to join them" he smirked. I was shocked, he was blackmailing me. He knew I would do everything I could to protect Lissa even throw away my life.

He dropped me and pulled his fist back only to have it snap back in my face. Damn, this guy knew how to punch. It hurt but I didn't show it. I would have a massive black eye tomorrow but I'm going to have to put up with it. I have to protect Lissa and that's what I'll do.

By the end of the day my arms were covered by bruises and my stomach was bleeding badly. When I didn't make his dinner properly he punched me in the gut only for me to stumble backwards and broke his glass vase. He grabbed a shard and stabbed me with it. But I put up with it all knowing I was doing this for Lissa. I probably wasn't going to see her again.

A whole month passed and I survived left with many cuts and bruises, maybe even a broken rib or two. Even through all that I still looked normal, if I wore by black coat and pants you couldn't see a scratch on me. The gorgeous Rose Hathaway, but I wasn't the same at all. My arms and legs were all black and blue you could barely see my normal colour anymore, but I didn't care. I didn't care about much anymore only Lissa. I took darkness away from her whenever I could, I couldn't bare see her life turn out like hell. Like my life… Hell.

Hope you like the chapter, sorry if it wasn't all that good but it's just the start… it will get better I promise. Dimitri will come in later. Please tell me if I should continue it and if you like it.

…REviEW…

Please
