Hey everyone =] Uh I know these things are purdy annoying but a little thanks to the author of Vampire Academy- Richelle Mead. This is pretty much my first Fanfiction, and to be honest most likely my last, actually I'm not sure I have one for Twilight but yeah =] So... all these characters/settings are from Richelle Mead. Enjoy xXx

"Rose why must you do this? Why won't you just give me a chance?"I felt a tear escape down my face, I've never really been close to Adrian, and we're not the best of friends. But I never meant to hurt him, I felt so bad, it reminded me of Mason; how he loved me and I couldn't love him back, which led him to his death. The thought of Mason made me feel cold inside, dead. I felt myself grow darker and darker.

"No Adrian, you know I'm in love with Dimitri, I'm sorry, I can't help how I feel about him"

"Rose I can give you a family, everything you've ever wanted, he can give you nothing"

"He gave me the strength to escape the darkness, he made me feel love like I've never felt before, and more then that he gives me hope, to guard Lisa and to be a strong reliable Guardian"

"I just don't think it's fair, I didn't get a chance at all, you're all I've ever wanted, and I'll never have you"

"I'm so sorry Adrian, you know I'll always love you, despite how annoying you are. But just not in the same way as Dimitri. I really wish I could feel different about you, you're an amazing man, but you're not my man. Don't waste your life on me, you need to move on and be happy, for me, please?"Adrian walked up close to me and stroked my cheek, and placed his hand on mine and laced our fingers together.

"I can't just move on Rose, not even for you, I know you'll never love me like you love.. him.. But I don't want to move on. Even if I have only one in a million chance of having you, that's all I need"Adrian gave me a peck on the lips then he started to fade away. I didn't want the dream to end so quickly, one of us were waking up though. I opened my eyes to hear the annoying beeping sound of my alarm. I sighed as I raised from my bed. I'm pretty sure I was late for something, but I wasn't sure what it was. I decided to quickly go into Lissa's head to check up on her, she was upset and yelling a Christian. I have a feeling they didn't sort out their problems yet.. Lissa was my best friend, to make it simple she brought me back to life with her spirit, and now I'm somewhat connected to her. See; every Moroi gets a power, out of Air, Water, Fire or Earth, but Lissa managed to get a super rare one called spirit. And that's why I'm here today, we're still figuring it out though.

Lissa has the spirit power to heal, there's others out there like her, for example Adrian. He is a spirit user to, he doesn't actually go to this school but he is trying to sort out the spirit with Lissa. Adrian's spirit allows him to come into people's dreams and also he is able to see peoples Ora's, to see how they feel. Spirit has its side affects though, it gives the user a great case of depression. My ex-teacher had spirit and drove herself crazy, we later found out she was a Strigoi. I've always felt sorry for crazy Karp. Lisa has me though, and I take the darkness from her whether I like it or not, because I'm spirit bound to her. But Adrian deals with it, with cigarettes and alcohol, though he still has his moments.

I got back into my own head, deciding to see Lissa to see if she was okay. I got out of bed and put on my training bra and shorts and quickly put up my hair into a messy ponytail, and ran out of my room. Towards the Library where Christian and Lissa were, it didn't take me very long to get there, I walked inside and looked around, I saw Lissa almost instantly. She was too busy yelling at Christian to see me coming up behind her.

"Christian please, I know I've hurt you, but seriously you're taking this way too far, it wasn't my fault remember? Please I want you in my life, don't do this to me"

Tears began to fall down her face and it looked like she was moments from breaking down in the spot, I went back into her head, there were millions of things just running around, and in the far corner I felt it. The darkness was in her, I took in a deep breath then absorbed as much of it as I could.

"Rose you didn't need to do that, you can't protect me forever from my emotions you know?" She said wiping the tears from her eyes.

"I know Lissa but while I'm here I insist on taking it away from you, really, I owe you that much"

Lissa gave me one of her breath taking smiles, and shook her head.

"Rose you owe me nothing, you have paid me back from just being there for me for all those years"

I couldn't help but to smile.

"You're welcome Liss"

Lissa smiled back at me then turned back to Christian. He looked like he was worried to hurt her.

"I'm sorry Lissa, but I really can't, I still love you but I just need time to think"

"No, don't you dare say you love me, if you did you wouldn't do this to me, if you loved me as much as you say you do you would be trying to sort it out with me. You don't even love me enough to try to save our relationship, you're a selfish coward!!"

Lissa turned away from the stunned Christian and looked at me once again.

"Oh Rose how was the test with Dimitri?"

"Oh shit!! The test, I totally forgot about it, shit, Dimitri will be so pissed. Bye Lissa, bye fire boy"

I turned and ran out of the Library towards the gym without waiting for Lissa to say goodbye or Christian to say something stupid. As soon as I reached the gym I took a big breath in and walked through the door. There was one angry Russian god staring back at me. He was leaning against the wall like always, and he looked stunning as usual, I couldn't take my eyes off him. Dimitri was my teacher, well not so much teacher, more of a mentor, and as wrong as it is, I loved him, even if he is 24 and I'm 17.

"Rosemarie Hathaway, where have you been? You're late, as usual, what's your excuse this time?"

I walked over to where he was leaning against the wall and gave him the best Hathaway innocent eyes I could pull off and my man eating smile.

"Lissa was fighting with Christian, I got worried so I went to check up on them"

"Not going to work Rose, and you're not going to wonder off every time they have a relationship problem are you? This test is pretty important, you need to learn when to let Lissa handle things on her own. She doesn't need you to hold her hand for everything"

"Hey it's all part of being a reliable, incredible, sexy novice comrade. One day you may learn my ways, hey if you ask nicely I may teach you a lesson or two. So am I going to start or just stand here
listening to your zen life lessons?"

See I was learning how to be a guardian, Guardians are half human, half vampire, we can go in sunlight and touch silver stakes but with the added bonus of the strength and speed of a Moroi. Moroi's are who we are protecting, they are vampires with powers, but they are still alive and aren't all evil like Strigoi. Strigoi are what we are protecting the Moroi against, see Strigoi are dead, pale, red eyed, Moroi obsessed vampires, kind of like in the movies. But they have super speed and strength, this is why guardians have to be taught how to kill them with a silver stake.

Silver stakes are stakes (of course) that are full with four of the Moroi powers, air, fire, earth and water. You could hurt a human simply by stubbing them, and we can do the same to our self, but the greater pain goes to the Moroi if you scratch them. It could even kill a Moroi that's why they aren't freely given out, when the four Moroi powers come together it creates a kind of life frame, and because Moroi are somewhat dead it gives them great displeasure. But if a Strigoi is hit with it they let out a deadly scream and die, I know this because I've killed two. I (unlike the other students) need extra training because Lissa and I ran away for two years and I needed to catch up, even though I am ahead of my class now.

Dimitri just shook his head and looked at the floor.

"Okay today, as you may know, is your test. Which means you will be doing the same you normally do, just double it. We will have two hours to do it and if you faint, we WILL retake this, so please try not to Rose"

Aw damn, seriously double of what I had to do? That's shit, well at least I'm getting two hours with Dimitri instead of one. That's a bonus right? This just may be worth all of my hard efforts today. I have to admit I was lucky to sleep before this test though.

"Well Rose chop, chop, get started on your laps, I expect a new record from you"

I just rolled my eyes which was a bit childish, and ran out of the doors towards the field and started running. I passed one lap in no time, well one lap gone 13 left to go. I was onto my 7th lap when I saw Dimitri running up to me, oh this was going to be fun. Now he can tell me everything I've been doing wrong. He caught up with me quickly and continued to run next to me without saying a thing.

"Seriously comrade, no corrections? Not going to tell me what I've done wrong?"

He gave me one of his rare smiles before answering me.

"Well now that you mentioned it, you did cut a few corners"

"Please Belikov I'm Rose Hathaway, in case you haven't noticed, I don't take shortcuts, sometimes I like it when certain things are longer, gives me a bit more of a challenge"

I think he got the double meaning in that because he looked at me funny and if this was going to take 2 hours I marls well make it fun, right?

"Oh seriously comrade you of all people should be used to my bad sense of humour"

"I'm sorry, I just thought you would be a little bit more mature after all you've been through. But apparently not, you have a lot of growing up to do"

Oh snap I needed some ice for that burn. I guess he didn't see the joke in that little conversation, but did he have to be so.. serious about it? Honestly it's like his got mood swings, happy one moment and angry in the other. He's worse than a female, or me with my spirit affects even. He sure did know how to kill the mood. We continued the 7 last laps without speaking or even looking at each other, which was bad, for me. As soon as I finished I went straight to the dummies to wait for Dimitri's instructions.

"Okay so now you'll be dealing with the dummies, I need 100 hits to the heart, and if you get one wrong you'll have to do 100 push ups"

I decided not to piss him off any further so I addressed him properly.

"Yes Guardian Belikov, 100 hits to the heart, got it"

Dimitri just looked at me funny, maybe because I addressed him appropriately , he handed me the stake.

"Okay, well.. you seem to know what you're doing so I'll just stand over here, call me if you need help"

He gave me a puzzled look then walked to the wall and leaned against it still watching me suspiciously. So I got started on my 100, not missing it once, which I was pretty proud of. I wanted to show Dimitri that I have changed, I am more mature, so I put all seriousness into it. The 100 hits were done quickly but perfectly, and I went to stand onto the mat waiting for my next instructions.

"Okay Rose that was really well done, and you looked really serious about it, I'm proud of you. But now we have to practice fighting, instead of the normal 40 minutes of fighting, you will of course get 80 minutes. If you do well I may give you a break before you leave"

Uh a break, that's exactly what I needed, I hope I do well then, and to show Dimitri I'm mature I will not do anything stupid, for once.

"Yes Guardian Belikov, I understand, start when you're ready"

Ha Dimitris jaw practically reached the floor in amazement. Then he put his guardian face back on and lunged at me, I dodged his first blow but then got kicked in the thigh, damn that hurt! I escaped another blow and managed to pack a punch to Dimitris face. He's going to have one ugly bruise tomorrow. We fought like this for about an hour before he pinned me on the ground and gave me the 'Strigoi bite' indicating I was 'dead'

"Well done Rose you've done very well, you can have a 20 minute break"

Yes thank god, we were both tired, I can't believe I lasted for an hour before being taken down, that would have to be a new record. I was breathing loudly and hurt like hell but I didn't complain, I just walked up to the wall Dimitri usually leaned on and picked up his book, opening it. I started reading a random page out loud.
'Their love, simple and caring, was the only thing keeping them alive, their suffering and misery meant nothing, nothing at all, when they were together'

I closed the book and placed it on the floor gently.

"Wow comrade now I know that you don't only like the Wild West stuff but Romance too, why arnt you so cute?"

So much for being mature, Dimitri didn't look mad though, he looked surprised, like I had grown an extra eye or something.

"What's that look for comrade? Not used to being called cute? I find that very hard to believe"

"No it's not that, out of the whole book, you managed to find not only one of the best quotes but you managed to read it from my favourite page"

"What can I tell you comrade I'm truly magic"

"Rose are you ever going to stop calling me comrade? You were doing so well before"

"NEVER!!!"

I gave him a cheeky smile then walked up to him.

"So COMRADE"
(Over exaggerating on the comrade part.)
"What do you think I could do for 20 minutes huh? Any Ideas?"

"Well technically Rose you have 15 minutes and you seemed to be doing pretty well reading the book, why don't you go back to that?"

So we're going back to this are we? sigh, here I go.

"In case you haven't realised the first time I said this, but I'm Rose Hathaway, I do not read twice in one day"

"So I see, well you could always do more laps"

"No I think I'll be fine"

I walked up closer to Dimitri and stood up on my tipitoes to kiss him. I ran my tongue against his lower lip begging for entrance. Dimitri didn't reply at first but he ended up opening his mouth for me. Our tongues met and continued to dance to my heart beat, which was beating out of my chest. Every kiss was like heaven for me, it's amazing. But as I've learnt, nothing good last forever, Dimitri pulled away.

"Roza you know we can't, your birthday is only a couple of weeks away, can we just stop until then?"

Uh yes score, he called me Roza, my name in Russian. He rarely does it, so, this might be a good thing, right?

"Yeah, sorry, I can't help it, uh how much time to I have left?"

"you still have 10 minutes, why?"

"No way we were kissing for 5 minutes?"

"No 2, but I assumed this conversation would finish in 3 minutes "

"You were timing, are you secretly ninja?! Anyway I think I will go run a couple of laps"

With this I ran straight past Dimitri and towards the field, starting on my new laps. I thought I could hear him say "It's no secret" as I was leaving but I can't be certain.

"So, Rose why are you running again?"

"Jesus Christ comrade, how long have you been there?"

"It's all about being a reliable, incredible, sexy Russian, one day I may teach you my ninja ways, but until then you'll never know"

Wow was I shocked or what, did he just let his guard down? Dimitri? Guard down? And that wasn't all, he gave me a full smile which was even more rare. I couldn't help but to giggle, this was amazing, truly once in a lifetime experience.

"Did I just hear right? Are my ears betraying me? Did Rosemarie Hathaway just.. giggle? Wow, I feel I may faint."

"Says you comrade, since when do you let your guard down? And smile!"

"Always Roza, you just never realise it because you're always too busy looking at yourself in a mirror"

"Oh that's it comrade, prepare to die!"

He started to run faster and I followed closely behind him, shouting towards his direction.

"Dimitri this is so not far! Your legs are like three times longer than mine!"

"Ha! This is why you fail"

"I do not fail! Take that back!"

"Have to catch me first"

And here we were, chasing each other around the field, completely unaware of time. Acting like children, I think someone has made a more, fun and exciting clone of Dimitri here, not that I'm complaining. We finished around 5 laps before he stopped.

"Given up hey comrade? Am I to ninja for the all mighty Dimitri?"

"Of course not Rose"
He says, smiling at me.

"It's just that your time is up and you have to go back to your dorm before it gets past curfew"

"Oh Dimitri don't you ever learn? I'm always past curfew, but look, I'm not in any trouble so far. See how well I'm doing?"

"Rose it's probably not such a good idea informing a teacher about that"

"Yeah, that's true. Well bye, I'll see you some other time to kick your ass"

"Look forward to it"

I made my way out of the gym towards the novice dorms, before it hit curfew of course. I may be ninja and break the curfew all the time, but nothing can prepare for who was on guardian duty today. It was of course Stan or as I like to call him, Satan, yeah you may notice that we don't get along very well..

"Hathaway where are you going?"

"Oh Stan, what a pleasant surprise. I seem to be heading to my dorm before curfew, what about you? Chilling in yo crib?"

"No, because unlike SOMEONE I have responsibility, and I SEEM to be on guardian duty tonight. Better hurry up Hathaway, I'll give you 5 minutes to get to your room."

"But curfew starts in 20 mins! I have plenty of time"

As I was saying this, I saw some random guy sneak from behind a building to the female dorms behind Stan, on his attempt to be a kick ass ninja vampire. And what kind of girl would I be if I didn't help him out right? I looked back at Stan and just started to nod my head randomly, his attention is mine.

"Hathaway I AM curfew, I say 5 minutes so chop, chop. And stop looking so pleased with yourself or I'll give you detention."

Stan went to turn around, just a second after the person went behind the back of a building. Stan just kept walking on, obviously good at his job of protecting the female dorms. I smiled all the way back into my room, I really did wish I recorded the awesome skills of Stan. But just because I am cocky, doesn't mean I'm stupid, as if I'd want to anger the beast anymore. I walked into my room and turned on the light to complete shock.

"Adrian! What are you doing in my room? Get out!"

"Hush little damphir, you'll wake everyone up!"

"Oh my god, you were the one that was trying to sneak past Stan right? Ha aw that's a new low, even for you"

"Oh how sweet, and for all my efforts"

"Okay Adrian get to the point, what do you want?" I glared at him evilly, why did he have to waste my time? And I am so tired too.

"Rose, I just wanted to ask you, if you would do me the honour of being my date for the royal ball next weekend?" He gave me an unsure smile "Please Rose, if you're not going to date me, please at least do this for me, just once"

"Adrian, the royal ball? Seriously? It will be full of high class people, who also find nothing better to do in life then judge other lower class people"

"Rose, Lissa will be there you know?" He smiled at me as if to say 'if you come I won't tell on you'

I took a big breath in "Fine I'll go to the stupid ball, with you, but it's because I feel so bad that I'll never love you, and I could always skip to see Lissa"

Adrian gave me a dry smile "Rose, honestly I know you'll never love me, but you have no right to be cocky to me about it"

I sensed the utter seriousness in his words. It was of course true though, I was being a bitch to him. And he didn't deserve it, his done nothing but be kind to me for this whole time. "Yeah I know Adrian, hey if you're lucky enough, I'll even dance with you, how's that?"

Adrian looked up at me and gave me the biggest smile I've ever seen on him "I would love that very much, see you then Rose "Adrian walked over to me and kissed me lightly on my forehead, and just like the dream, he left. Uh peace and quiet is just what I needed. I closed my door and walked up to my bed, lying down. I've never been so tired or sore in my life. And of course as soon as I get comfortable I heard a knock on the door.

I was wondering whether I should open it or not, maybe if I don't make a noise they will think I'm not here and leave me. Well no, they just kept knocking.

"Damn it Adrian, I'll go on your stupid 'date' now leave me alone."

The knocking stoped for a moment, so I got back into my comfort zone, just for it to start over again. I decided it would be best to just open the damn door.

"For god sake Adr... Oh Dimitri, what a surprise! What are you doing here?

"Hello Rose, sorry, were you expecting someone else?"

Oh no, he was giving me the evil eyes, basically shooting daggers with them... not good.

"Well I was actually expecting someone else, but anyway why are you here? What's happening?"

"Hmm, I was just here to inform you that you will not need to attend classes tomorrow because Adrian has been all so kind enough to excuse you, Vasilisa and Christian from classes all day to go on a much needed 'shopping spree'"

"NO WAY!! Oh my god! Are you serious? How the hell did he manage that? Oh man I love him right now. It must be because we need to get some stuff before the ball."

"Explain..."

"Oh I'm going to the royal ball with Adrian, hmph should be interesting"

"Yes, sounds interesting enough, why are you going with Lord Ivashkov? Do you like him?" Wow Dimitri sounded like he was about to kill someone, and knowing him, he would, and being in front of him made me feel uncomfortable.

"Dimitri that is the most stupid question I've ever heard. Of course I don't, I love you. I know that, you know that and Adrian knows that, so no need to be jealous comrade"
It looks like that relaxed him a little.

"I wasn't jealous Rose, I was just curious. But you should only expect me to keep an eye on you when shopping"

"What? Are you coming too? And I'm sure you will be keeping an eye on me, it's okay comrade, I'll be watching you carefully to." I finished my sentence with a wink.

Dimitri looked down at me with a huge smile. Okay I really couldn't help it now, I walked up to him and kissed him passionately and nudged him towards my bed. He closed my door, and followed me towards the bed. Kissing me back, he ran his hand down my back towards my ass. He gave me a little smack on the butt, I moaned into his mouth, I could feel myself getting wetter. I pulled him onto my bed, laying down and pulling him on top of me.

This is all we needed, to feel each other and to express our love. I got hold of Dimitri's T-shirt and slowly pulled it off, he began taking off my pants, and before I knew what was happening we were both in nothing but our underclothes. I grew even more wet seeing his hardness, he was mine, all mine. He removed my underwear with a bit of my help and rubbed my clit.

"Some one's a little excited" He gave me a little laugh, continuing to rub me.

"Dim..Dimitri... I..."

"Yes Roza? What do you need?"

I let out a moan "I need you in me"

I could feel myself blushing, I knew we both wanted this, but it was still awkward. He kissed me again. Then he began taking of his boxters. Wow was he big or what?

"Shit how are you supposed fit that in me?"

"Oh I'm sorry Roza, do you want me to stop?" He gave me a cocky smile.

"No I'm fine thanks" I groaned as he pushed himself deep inside of me.

"Owww!" I took a deep breath in. This was my first time having sex and god did it hurt. Dimitri stoped.

"Rose what's wrong? Are you okay?"

I just blinked and took a big breath in. "Yeah sorry it's my first time, it hurts a lot"

"Your first time? Are you serious? Wow!"

I looked at him in shock "Ha ha I'm not a whore you know, why does everyone find that so hard to believe?"

He started moving again, thrusting in and out "Well you bring it on yourself, always flirting and all, of course boys won't take you seriously"

I looked at him serious, did he really just say that? I can't believe this. I was so upset and angry, he really didn't take me seriously? I feel so.. violated.

"GET OUT!" I shouted at him, tiredness, anger and stress really did not mix. He gave me a puzzled look.

"What are you talking about?" He smiled at me, still thrusting.

"Get the fuck out of me, and out of my room, asshole."

"Rose, why are you suddenly angry?" He just didn't get the picture did he?

I slapped his face, he rolled over and lay next to me. I covered myself with the blanket, I felt so used and upset right now.

"Dimitri please leave."

He gave me a confused look but decided not to push it, putting his clothes on and looking at me before leaving. I couldn't believe this, this was supposed to be the best night of my life, what the fuck happened? I started crying, Dimitri meant everything to me, and he doesn't think anymore of me then a piece of meat.

I eventually fell asleep into an Adrian free dream...

I dreamt of the last couple of months I've had with Dimitri, and how close we were getting. And how everything fell apart, the dreams, the hopes, our future, our plans. I really needed to speak to Dimitri, I don't want to lose him, it's the last thing I need.

I woke up the next morning (sunset to humans) my alarm wasn't going off. Which was good, I decided I didn't want it to break, yet. I walked up to my mirror, last nights drama was chewing away at me. I sighed while tying my hair up into my usual messy ponytail.

I started splashing my face with water when I heard a rapid knock on the door, I rolled my eyes as I opened it 'Oh no!' Lissa came crushing in, jumping around, saying a million things at once.

"Lissa, calm down hun"
She looked at me and took a big breath in.
"You can't go out like that!"

Before I knew what was happening Lissa had me in the bathroom, she was playing with my hair.

"Liss, why are you so excited? It's only the shops we've been there a million times before"

"O..O..Only the shops? I have NEVER heard only and shops in one sentence in my whole life! And it's not only that, we're watching a movie too! And Christian will be there"

"Christian is coming? So you two have made up then?"

"Well not exactly.."

"LISSA! You did not use compulsion on Christian? Did you?"

She walked hurriedly towards the bed, I watched her. I looked in the mirror to see my hair in a neat bun, before I walked up to Lissa.

"Well I did use a little bit, but I really wanted him to come, I'm sorry Rose" I could feel through the bond that she was sorry but she really wanted Christian to come too.

"Yeah I know you wanted him to come Liss, but ordering him around isn't going to help anything you know. Plus, you shouldn't be using compulsion on Moroi, especially Christian, what do you think he is going to do when he finds out about it?"

Lissa looked at me worriedly.

"I know I'm not supposed to use it, and I promise it's just a onetime thing, maybe if he is stuck with me we can make things up, plus he doesn't have to find out about it"

"Alright Liss, a onetime thing, I'd better not catch you using compulsion on anyone again. And he was ignoring you for a reason Liss, he needs his time alone, to help appreciate the relationship and get himself together"

She eyed me but smiled.

"Okay well time to do your makeup"

Oh no...


Lissa and I walked up to a very excited Adrian and a puzzled Christian.

"Lissa did you use compulsion on me? I really do not want to be here right now"
.. Crap!...

"We were talking about spending more time together"

Ha! Lissa was trying to change the subject, apparently doing a good job, Christian just shrugged and stared at the car.

Adrian looked at me like he had won the lottery, I'm not sure if winning the lottery would mean much to Adrian, but he did look really happy for some reason. I heard some footsteps behind me, I turned to see Dimitri standing right behind me. Crap I forgot he was coming. I turned back around and looked at Adrian, he was still staring at me.

"What are you all goofy about? Hope you're not having any inappropriate thoughts about me"

Adrian's smile grew wider.

"I'm always having inappropriate thoughts about you Rose, and it's how you look. I mean you always look amazing but today.. wow!"

Oh yeah I was all nicely dressed up for tonight, thanks to Lissa. I could hear Christian snickering next to me. I turned to him.

"What are you laughing at fire crotch?"

This only made him laugh, that's when Lissa came in.

"Okay! So we are going now right? "

Adrian nodded then opened the back door for me. I climbed in. And as soon as everyone was in the car we were off to the shops. I could feel Christian over exaggerating the turns so he could bump into me. I sighed loudly.

"What's wrong Rose?" Adrian asked from the front, turning around to look at me while Dimitri drove.

"Uh yeah, I would like to make a formal complaint about the seating plan"

"Aw come on Rose, you really like to sit next to me, don't lie!" Christian gave me a cocky smile.

"Christian I would rather sit next to a bear then you"

"Rose, Christian, can you please try to get along, just for today?" Lissa gave me a nervous look.
Behave today Rose! Don't make me hurt you.I couldn't help but to smile at Lissa, I knew she wouldn't actually hurt me, but the thought of her trying amused me. So I decided to listen to Lissa's little message and stayed quiet for the rest of the hour to the mall.
As soon as we stopped in the car park, we all got out listening to Dimitri.

"Okay, so people will think it is weird if I followed a bunch of teenagers around all day, so I will have to play the role of someone's 'boyfriend', and because Rose is a guardian too, and we will both need to watch you, Rose will be playing my 'girlfriend'" Everyone looked confused.

"Uh, Guardian Belikov, I've never doubted your knowledge on being a guardian, but couldn't you just pretend to be our friend?" Lissa asked.

"I could do, but I don't know any man that would go to the shops with a bunch of teenagers unless he had interest in one of them" I could see Adrian nodding in the background.

He cannot be serious...

Well he was serious alright, I was walking around the mall all day standing right beside Dimitri, holding his hand. Sure it was depressing but at least I had Lissa to keep me sane.

"Oh look Rose it's a bra and thingz shop! Let's go!"

Before I could say anything I was pulled into the shop against my will and was soon looking at all the different clothes around. My face lit up when I saw a cute little red lace bra with a matching red g-string. I decided I would take advantage of this. I grabbed the clothes and walked up to Dimitri who was distracted with a human lady who was trying to flirt with him, he didn't look interested at all.

"Hey baby" I hugged him and placed my hand on his butt "Do you think this will be good enough for tonight?" I finished my sentence with a wink.

The lady who was flirting with Dimitri gave me an evil glare but decided she would go back to work. I could hear Christian laughing behind me and Lissa gasping. Maybe this would give away the fact I love Dimitri...
I removed my hand from Dimitri's butt and walked up to the lady at the register.

"I would like these thanks" I smiled at her.

She gave me another look but scanned the clothing.

"$50"

I gave her a $50 note that I had obtained from Adrian in the car and my smile grew.

"Thank you, this will defiantly come in handy soon enough"

Walking up to Lissa I could see she was holding in a laugh.

"Oh Rose you're so mean!"

"Hey, it's in my nature" I gave a pleased look and turned to Adrian.

"So Adrian, looks like you'll be having some more unnecessary thoughts about me now that I have these"

"Agreed" I could actually see a bump forming in his pants, oh how hilarious.

"Don't get too excited" I laughed as I looked at the bump growing bigger by the second. Adrian looked down and groaned.

"Oh shit!"

Christian was bursting out laughing at Adrian.

"Oh man that is so lame!" He choked out while laughing.

"Yeah well not as lame as you Christening the church attic" I beamed, Christian stopped laughing and started blushing.

"Uh, well, can we please go to the movies now? I'm actually getting pretty bored here" Lissa gave me a look that matched the message she sent through the bond; I'm going to kill you Rose. And all I could do was laugh.
******************************************************************************************

It was pretty easy getting to the theatre since it was inside the mall. The hardest part was really trying to decided which movie we wanted to see.

"I want to see some horror" I cut through all the talk.

Everyone was arguing about the movie they wanted to see. Christian and I wanted to see Horror, Lissa wanted a Romance and Adrian wanted Comedy. I turned towards Dimitri and he frowned at me, crossing his arms.

"Okay lets make a deal, whatever Dimitri wants to see out of our options we will watch"
Everyone just shrugged then looked expectantly towards Dimitri who looked cornered.

"So comrade, what would you like to see?"

"Uh, well Comedy does sound tempting"
Adrian beamed.
"But I'd have to say horror, sorry Lissa don't really think you had a chance"
Both Lissa and Adrian frowned but followed us towards the booth.

"5 tickets to Zombie land thanks"

"That will be $100 thank you"

Adrian paid her, and soon enough we were in the theatre with several bags of popcorn (on my behalf) and a whole bottle of coke to share between us. I was in between Adrian and Dimitri, Lissa was between Adrian and Christian. What a good seating plan. Uh yes horror, good excuse to get closer to the boys, I was surprised to notice myself getting closer to Adrian rather than Dimitri, Lissa was trying to get closer to Christian who looked a bit uneasy. And Dimitri was studying me from the corner of his eye, suspicious of how close I was getting to Adrian; Uh this will defiantly turn out well.

We got out of the car when we got back to the Academy, Dimitri following me to the others. When I reached Adrian I handed him the rest of the money he gave me.

"Little Damphir no need to return the money, it's yours, you can use it some other time if you want"

I gave him a smile and hugged him ( yeah surprised me too) I could feel him stop breathing for a minute before he realised I wasn't actually trying to kill him for once. I could practically feel Dimitri's eyes burn into the back of my head, and I didn't even care.

"Adrian, I guess we got over excited at the mall, I forgot to get a dress for the Royal Ball, and it's next weekend.."

I said into his chest, still holding onto him.

"Uh..uh no.. no worries Rose. I.. I will sort something out for you"

I looked up at him with thankful eyes and nodded, breaking our hug and taking a couple of steps back. Lissa and Christian looked at us pleased, I think they thought we were going out. As if! I would have to inform them later that nothing is happening and never will, I would never fall in love with Adrian, would I?

I said my goodbyes to everyone then got going back to my dorm.

"What's happening with you and Adrian? I thought you said nothing was going on"

"Oh geez Dimitri, stop doing that!"
I said while still walking.
"And nothing is happening, I'm just being friendly"
I could hear Dimitri sighing and muttering something under his breath.

"Dimitri you are acting like a child now, if you want to say something, say it to my face. Plus it wouldn't be your business if me and Adrian started liking each other, only if we were having sex, which we're not"
I stopped and turned towards Dimitri.
"Look, I still really love you. But, I want you to take me seriously for once, if I start to like Adrian, it will be because our love life has gone downhill"

"Rose I know what I said before, was, inappropriate. People do take you seriously, especially me. We have been through a lot, and I love you, but, it would kill me, if you and Adrian were to see each other"

My eyes widened, this was the first time Dimitri has really talked to me so deeply about his feelings. But did it really mean that much to me now? Once before I would of pounced on him and attacked him sexually. Was my love for Dimitri really fading?

"Uh well I don't know what to say, he has been there for me through the toughest of times, I feel like I owe him something"

I defiantly wasn't lying, I did feel as if I owe Adrian the world for everything he has done for me. Maybe I could love Adrian. I shook my head at looked back at Dimitri.

"Sorry I'm tired, I need some sleep"

I didn't even wait for his reply I just walked away from him towards my dorm.. taking a quick shower then getting into bed, falling asleep surprisingly fast...
******************************************************************************************

I looked around to see a flowery garden around me, it was beautiful. I walked up to a flower smelling it before

I turned back around.

"Alright Adrian where are you?"

Adrian had me in his dream once again, his spirit power unfortunately was just as depressing to me as it was to him.

"Come out, come out where ever you are"

I saw him walk out from behind a tree towards me.

"Hey little Damphir, you missed me?"

"Of course I did my dear"
I say while rolling my eyes.

Adrian got closer and I took a large breath in, he smiled at me.

"So Adrian, gonna cut to the chase? Why am I here?"

"Little Damphir, I'm insulted, am I not allowed to freely visit you without a reason?"
He put his hand over his heart and pretended to be shocked.

The space between us closed, I felt an urge in me that I knew so well from Dimitri, lust. I wanted Adrian, and he wanted me. I got closer to him, feeling his warmth and growing wetter every second. I rose up to kiss him, lacing my fingers in his silky hair. He's kiss, it was amazing, I can't compare it to Dimitri's, but this was something. Our kiss became more and more passionate. He fell onto the flowery garden beneath us and pulled me down with him.

We were practically all over each other by now, he started placing small kisses from my jaw to my neck, my back arching, begging for more. He looked at me and smiled.

"You know little Damphir, the good things about dreams is that whatever you do here will not affect you in real life" He finished his sentence with a wink.

And that's when I lost it, clothes were torn of and I found myself sitting on top of Adrian's stomach, feeling all over him. I ran my hands from his muscular arms down to just above his belly button where I was placed. I could feel my wetness growing wilder, and I could feel it on Adrian. He turned us over so he was on top, and he began laying kisses from my throat to my hard nipples which he began to nibble on and suck while his hand played with the other.

My moaning became louder to the point where I couldn't take it anymore.

"Ad..Adrian.. I.. need you in.. me"

I said between moans. Adrian looked up at me and looked into my eyes, I felt like I was drowning in a brilliant sea of green, his eyes were beautiful. He kissed me again before thrusting into me. We both moaned, and our bodies were moving with each other in a beautiful bliss.

"Adrian... Har... der"
I moaned while arching my back and feeling my climax rising. He followed my instructions and began thrusting into me harder, and harder until I screamed out his name and let out my final moan, feeling tired. Adrian followed closely after, thrusting harder than before and letting out a huge moan, collapsing next to me. Wait, did me and Adrian... just... fuck? I realised I was fading out and waking up.

I shot out of bed and found that I was covered in sweat, eww. I looked at the time, it read 3am, uh I think I may pay Adrian a nice little visit. Without taking a shower I changed into my sports bra and pants, running out past the guardian on duty towards the guest hosing. I furiously knocked on Adrian's door, being opened almost instantly.

Adrian was of course the one who opened it, and as soon as he saw me his face changed into one you'd expect to see on a little kid in a candy store.

"Oh little Damphir, what a pleasant surprise, wish to come in?"

Adrian made a bowing posture and signalled me to come in, which is exactly what I did.

"What the hell just happened?"
I barked at him as soon as he closed the door, I started walking towards the bedroom, stopping at the door to turn back to Adrian.

"I assure you Rose, I have no idea what you are talking about"

"Of course you don't" I rolled my eyes "So, you don't remember invading my dreams and fucking me in the flower beds? Not exactly something you forget"

Adrian's smile grew a lot wider.

"Little frisky Damphir, as much as I wish I was able to experience that, I was unable due to being busy teaching your 'bffl' (sounding as feminine as possible with the bffl part) how to use spirit, no time for sleep or sexy time with sexy Damphirs unfortunately, ask your friends if you don't believe me, their right in there"

He pointed to the bedroom door, I froze a second.
"You're bluffing"

"Go check for yourself"

I opened the door slowly to see a shocked Lissa on the bed and an amused Christian on the floor. I closed the door on them and leaned against the door, closing my eyes.

"Omg, no! This can't be happening to me! NO!!"
I opened my eyes to see Adrian still smirking at me.

I ran straight past him with embarrassment and went towards the novice dorms like a coward. I soon reached my room and sunk down into my bed. Rose are you okay? We need to talk later. I smiled, Lissa was worried for me, I could imagine her stupid little fire boy would be pleased though. With a great deal of time I finally managed to sink into an Adrian-less dream, the best kind.
******************************************************************************************

Morning came quickly, but I was glad that it was Sunday, at least then I am able to try to avoid everyone. I looked at the time. 8pm, time for breakfast then. I hesantally got up and managed to drag myself to the shower for a nice quick cold one, getting dressed into another pair of sporting clothes for my training with Dimitri later. I walked out of my room towards the dining room.

I walked up to the counter getting my food and sitting down at our table, looking at the table and nothing else, I began eating. I could feel someone sitting next to me, I didn't bother looking up or even greeting them, I just ate and stared at the table.

"Morning little Damphir" Adrian says, I could practically feel his smile.

With out looking up I replied "Stop looking at me" Which earned me a laugh from him.

Not so long after I felt the table move slightly again.

"So... Rose, how did you sleep last night?" Christian asked in a serious tone.

I sighed "Not to good unfortunately, you and Lissa kept me awake for some time"

Instead of shutting Christian up it encouraged him.

"Oh, well, last time I heard it was ADRIAN who was keeping you up"

Both boys started laughing like the idiots they are.

"So... little Damphir, you wouldn't mind... You know, showing me how the dream went, would you?"

They started laughing again and I was contemplating whether I should throw my tray at Adrian or not.

"You guys stop giving Rose a hard time"

I hadn't even noticed Lissa was sitting down until she spoke. I glanced up at her giving her a thankful glare.

"Because Rose needs some quiet to be able to get to sleep" Lissa finished and started laughing. I can't believe she said that.

Pushing my tray into them, making them stop laughing, I got up from the table and started storming out of the cafeteria towards the gym where I would hopefully have a nice quiet training with Dimitri. I opened the gym doors to see Dimitri laying on the ground listening to some pretty old music.

"Comrade how nice to see you"

I say, walking up to him, he glared at me and nodded.

"Rose, nice to see you here too, and not having sex with Adrian"

I stared at him wide eyed.

"Me and Adrian? We... haven't even had sex though"

"That's not what I heard" He clenched his fist and sighed.

"I have no idea what you're talking about Dimitri" I admitted.

"Give it up Rose, I heard your un-normally loud moaning last night when I went to talk to you, you also managed to wake up the whole dorm by screaming out Adrian" He looked the other way and shook his head.
"I thought you were different then that Rose, I guess I didn't really even know you at all, was a little funny in a way though."

I sat down next to his head and placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Dimitri, I didn't have sex with Adrian, it was more of a... dream, sorry"

He looked up at me and looked more annoyed then before.

"Oh so now you're dreaming about having sex with lord Ivashkov?"

"Well yeah, but I have no idea how to feel about it, I... I think I may be falling in love with him" I looked away from Dimitri, afraid of his reaction, sighing to myself.
"But, the thing is, I love you too, like more emotionally. It's weird, and completely wrong, I admit it. But, I think I'm trying to get closer to Adrian, and having those dreams about him, as a replacement from the luck of physical contact we have. I feel I may be falling for him too, because, I know he will for fill my 'needs' But I still want you to be mine, it's crazy. I have no idea what I should do" I buried my face into my hands and started shaking. All this stress and romance was too much for one girl. Dimitri shifted so he was sitting next to me, he hugged me.

"I know you're a teenager Rose, but sex isn't everything, are you willing to risk everything we have to have sex with someone that uses girls all the time?"

I frowned at him and looked directly into his beautiful dark eyes. Of course I wouldn't want to lose my love for Dimitri, he is my everything, the man I want in my life forever. And I'm willing to keep it that way, even, even if it means I have to forget my feelings for Adrian.

"Of course not Dimitri, I just get, really needy. I suppose it's because Adrian is closer to my age, feels like I can't make mistakes around him. It's difficult though, I love you both for different reasons. It's like 2 pieces of a puzzle, I lose one and I feel incomplete. This all must not make much sense to you, and it doesn't to me to. But maybe if I stay in the single category for a while I can see what happens"
