RPOV

This was it. The day we have been waiting for our entire lives. The only reason I had to live. Graduation. In a few days I would be Lissa´s guardian, living at Court while she quite possibly became the Queen. We were so excited.

Lissa is my best friend, and a moroi. That means she is a full, living vampire. I am a dhampir. I am half human, half vampire. Dhampir´s are stronger and faster than humans and moroi, because we got the best of both genes. We help protect the moroi because without them, there is no us. We are created from a human and moroi having a baby, or a moroi and a dhampir. Moroi´s are made by two moroi´s having a baby, and thats it. There are another type of vampires, the dead ones, and they are called strigoi. They are the evil ones that dhampir´s protect moroi from. They are made by a moroi drinking all the blood from a victim, killing them, or a human, dhampir or a moroi swapping blood with a strigoi. They are horrible creatures and don´t care about anyone but themselves. They are controlled by blood lust, and very hard to kill. They are faster than they were in there past lives, which is why we train so hard in school.

We are raised to do this, and live by one rule; they come first.

So anyway, here we are sitting in our graduation gowns waiting for Kirova to finish her long, boring, bullet-through-the-head speech. It seemed to drag on forever. Until at last she started calling names.

¨Eddie Castile; Vaslissa Dragomir.¨ she stated loudly. Through the bond Lissa and I had, I could tell she was surprised too. I was furious though. I have been waiting to be her guardian my whole life. Now it gets thrown way, probably because of the queens hatred for me.

I see Lissa and Eddie get up and walk up to the front together. Eddie looks at me sadly, probably knowing I was about one second from killing someone. But I guess if I couldn´t be Lissa´s guardian, I knew Eddie would take care of her.

But who am I going to be stuck with then? Oh I hope it isn´t Jesse or Ralph, or some horrible royal like them. ¨Rosemarie Hathaway; Christian Ozera¨ What! This is worse than getting Jesse AND Ralph. There is no way I was going to be able to not kill him. We hated each other. I was still sitting there frozen when the person beside me shook me. ¨You have to go up there. Your name was just called.¨ he said.

So slowly, with a face I´m pretty sure everyone there was scared of, I made my way up to the front of the room. Everyone was silent, expecting me to start screaming or throwing a fit or something. That would wait until after this is over. When I got up to the front of the room, Alberta handed me my stake and pushed me towards the guy doing the promise marks. She just shook her head at me, and I mouthed ¨Later¨ to her and gave her a look that said ´Just try and mess with me´.

After I got my tattoo and everyone had their charges, I went up to Alberta and Kirova. ¨Care to explain why I am not with Lissa, and got stuck with Pyro, over here?¨ I all but yelled. I could feel Lissa through the bond telling me to calm down and not hurt anyone. I was surprised that Christian hasn´t tried to talk to me yet. Probably wants to keep his face.

¨Rose, the queen thought it would be better for Lissa to not have any distractions if she is going to be queen,¨ Alberta said sternly. ¨And anyway, Lord Ozera is royal, and you one of the best guardians there is.¨ she added. Well she had a point, but I wasn´t going to tell her that.

¨Well why him, of all the people you could have put me with. Him?¨ Why didn´t they realize that they just put his life in more danger.

¨Hey, hey, hey. I´m not that bad, am I? Wait, don´t answer that. I already know your answer.¨ Christian said, coming up behind me and putting his arm around my shoulders. It took all of my strength to not rip it off and feed it to him.

¨See Rose, he is willing to be nice about this. Why can´t you even try?¨ Kirova said impatiently. She probably wanted to go talk to someone else.

¨Because! We don´t get along at all, and you will need to give him another guardian just to keep him safe from me.¨ I said.

¨Well suck it up Rose, life isn´t fair and we don´t all get what we want. You have to learn that and grow up.¨ Alberta yelled at me before walking away to go congratulate some other students. I was just standing there angrily, hoping I could get a bunch of alcohol from Adrian tonight before I go and end up stuck with Sparky my whole life.

¨Rose, are you going to kill someone? Should I come back later?¨ Lissa said cautiously. I don´t blame her. I probably looked like a serial killer at the moment.

¨I´m okay Lissa, I just need to go find Adrian and his never ending booze stash.¨

¨Don´t do anything stupid Rose. I´m going to need someone to keep me from turning strigoi!¨ Christian yelled, but I was already running across the field to the guest dorms. I started pounding on Adrian´s door, really loudly, until he opened it. I ran in, pushing him aside as I did, and went straight for his bar. I took out two bottles of Russian vodka, handing one to him and downing half of mine in about 7 seconds

. ¨Wow, Little Dhampir, who could ever make you this angry?¨ he slurred. That meant he had been drinking before I even came over.

¨I really don´t want to talk about it Adrian, just shut the hell up and get me some stronger liquor.¨

¨Um, Rose...that´s the strongest stuff I have. So go easy on it. But you are probably really fun drunk, so never mind. Drink all you want.¨

¨I was planning on that anyway. My life is over now. I will have to spend my days following Pyro everywhere. I´m doomed to a life of misery!¨ I spoke the words, but they were coming straight from the vodka.

¨So you got stuck with Christian instead of being with Lissa? That explains a lot.¨ As he was saying this, there was a hurried knock at the door, and before Adrian could turn around Lissa was running in looking for me.

¨There you are! I thought you were kidding about using his liquor stash. How much have you had? You look a bit tipsy.¨ I looked down, only to see that i was almost done my second bottle. Well that went fast!

¨Lissa, I have to make this a memorable experience if it´s my last chance without Fire-boy telling me what to do! I get to have fun and do stupid things for the last time! And you can´t stop me.¨ I said defiantly.

¨Well, you are always welcome to stay here until you have to leave. I wouldn´t mind the company.¨ Adrian said, wiggling his eyebrows at me. Usually I would have just rolled my eyes and left with Lissa, but I felt like doing something stupid that I usually wouldn't do. I walked over to Adrian and stared him straight in the eyes. Well, as straight as I could being almost a foot shorter than him.

¨I would love to stay here with you Adrian.¨ I said, catching everyone by surprise. I thought the look on his face was priceless. It took him a few seconds to say something comprehendable.

¨Well, what do you want to do then?¨ I didn´t even wait for him to finish his sentence before I jumped at him, pushing us both onto the couch. I started kissing him wildly, and he was kissing back. I think I heard Lissa say something about puking and then leaving, but I was a too little busy to pay attention to her.

After a few heated minutes on the couch, I leaned up a bit to catch my breath. "We should get to the bed before this goes any farther." I gasped. He picked me up by the ass, still kissing me, and carried me to his bed. I have to admit, he is very strong for a moroi.

He dropped me on the bed, jumping on top of me quickly. He got my shirt off, as well as his, in a matter of seconds. I ran my hands up his chest, amazed at how muscular he was. He started kissing down my neck, lightly nibbling along the way. He kept kissing until he got to the top of my bra. I was happy I wore a matching black bra and underwear set today. He ran his hands down my side, reaching behind me to unclasp my bra. I arched my back so he could reach better. Once he slipped it off, he put his mouth on one breast, nibbling and swirling his tongue, making me moan rather loudly. I hoped these walls were thick.

He switched sides, paying the same attention to my other nipple. It felt so good, but that wasn´t what I wanted. I flipped him over, kissing him roughly on the lips, while simultaneously undoing his pants. With his help, I got them off, and did the same to mine. So I was left in my underwear, him in his boxers. "Are you sure you want to do this Rose? After this there is no turning back." He said seriously. Such a gentleman.

"Yes I am sure." I said, while pulling his boxers down with my toes. He took that as an okay, and flipped us back over so he was on top. He ripped of my underwear, not taking the time to just pull them off. I would have to hit him for that later. Now I was a little preoccupied. Adrian leaned forwards and kissed me gently, while pushing himself in. It hurt a lot at first, but then the pleasure rolled in and overpowered it. I was moaning so loud, and so was he.

"Little dhampir, you feel so good. Nice and tight." He grunted. I couldn´t speak, I could only moan and groan, and I probably should have been embarrassed, but he was doing the same thing. I could feel the tightening in my stomach.

"Adrian, I´m...almost....there." I barely said. So he began thrusting harder and faster than before, and moments later I was feeling the best thing ever. It was pure ecstasy. That was the first orgasm of my life, and I don´t know how anything could be better than that. I rolled over, panting hard. He did the same, but rolled on his side to stare at me.

"That was amazing, little dhampir. You were amazing." He said to me. He had this look in his eyes, but I wasn't sure what it was. "You're aura is a little weird. What's up"

I should say ´Because I just had sex for the first time and it was completely awesome, the best time of my life, but I don´t like you that way and I was just drunk and angry, and it was a mistake. Sorry, let´s just be friends. Okay?´ But no, I had to lie so I wouldn´t hurt him. "Adrian, that was awesome." I said, trying to change the subject.

He just looked at me like he was really concerned, but just shrugged it off and pulled me to lay against him. "Just know that you can talk to me about anything, alright?" I nodded, not trusting my voice to be convincing enough. We cuddled for a bit before I fell asleep.
