Okay so this story is set after spirit bound. Rose was able to clear her name and prove her innocence by bringing in Victor Dashkov who framed her and was really the one to kill the queen. Abe Mazur broke her out of prison and forced her to leave Lissa behind. What Abe didn't count on was Lissa and Rose's bond becoming stronger. Lissa was able to get a general idea of where in the world Rose was. She told Adrian and Christian who agreed to go with Lissa to Turkey to find Rose, but they all got a surprise when Dimitri demanded to go with them when he found out Lissa was leaving Court. They ended up finding Lissa's illegitimate half-sister, Tanya, and bringing her back to court. Dimitri and Rose went their separate ways after that because he still hates himself for hurting her as a strigoi, and she finally decides to move on. He ends up becoming Tasha Ozera's guardian after all. Rose becomes the head guardian at court once Lissa is announced the queen's predecessor. It's now 6 years later and Rose and Lissa are 24. Lissa and Christian are engaged and Rose is also Adrian's unofficial side guardian besides being Captain of the Guard. Lissa is getting bored at Court and decides she would like to go back to the academy to teach the newfound Spirit users and take a break from all of her stress. Rose will take over as head of security at the academy and maybe mentor some kids. Lissa leaves her advisors in charge and takes off for a while.

Chapter 1 R.P.O.V

Ugghh! Lissa was so unreasonable some times! Ever since she became Queen she occasionally gets like this. This time her crazy idea has been to pack up and leave court! How in the world am I supposed to protect her outside of court? And then she drops the mother load on me by telling me we are going back to St. Vladimir's academy. I understand why she is packing us all up and moving us she has been really stressed lately, but running away won't solve anything. Oh well though at least Adrian was coming with me. Ha I remember perfectly how mad I had been a few days ago. "Lissa" I had said, "What am I going to do there? I don't have the patience to teach and the place will be crawling with guardians so I'll have nothing to do!" "Well I was thinking of that," she said, "and I called Alberta up and she said she was planning on retiring in a year or so anyway so she said you could take over as Head of Security if you want." I know this sounds a little ridiculous seeing how I was pretty much as high up in the Guardian world as you could get but, I'd always idolized Alberta. She was a great guardian and I felt flattered she thought I could do her job. "Okay we can go but we aren't staying forever I'll go bonkers!" "Hahaha! You already are," said Christian. Err… he bugs the shit outta me sometimes! So we where off to see Kirova, yes she was still headmistress, the old hag. It was Lissa, Christian, Adrian, Eddie, Christian's guardian, Tanya Lissa's sister, and me. We all boarded the jet at 6:00 P.M. It was early for me and I was grumpy as usual when Adrian came up behind me and kissed me on the cheek. After Dimitri told me in Turkey that he was going to be Tasha's guardian and that we where not going to be together again I lost it. I ranted at him that I was done waiting for him and I really didn't give a shit anymore. I ended up giving Adrian a chance and now that I had moved on I was surprisingly happy. I hadn't seen Dimitri since Christmas two years ago when Tasha had come to court to visit Christian. We had said barely five words to each other and none of them where pleasant. Now when Lissa and Christian go visit Tasha I stay at Court. Adrian whistled at me pulling me out of my tired thoughts. "whooheww… Your hair looks lovely this morning dear when was the last time you brushed it?" " Good morning to you too Adrian! I just rolled out of bed and left I didn't have time to brush it. Jeez don't talk so loud it's too early!" "I know what'll wake you up," he said as he leaned in to kiss me. I leaned into him and wound my arms around his neck pressing him up against me. The world slowly faded into the background and we where making out on the runway next to the plane's stairs when Lissa interrupted the fun. "Ewww guys come on we are gonna be late! Jeez Adrian can you keep it in your pants for like five minutes?" "Oh Liss your just jealous cause Adrian actually has something in his pants unlike Sparky over there." She shot me an icy glare over her shoulder and climbed aboard.

Me and Adrian boarded the plane and sat next to each other. It was a three hour flight so I layed back ready to get some sleep when my head started to throb ever so slightly. Uggh great part of being shadow kissed meant I could see ghost and it seamed the more strigoi I killed the more powerful their attraction to me got. This was going to be a long flight. I leaned onto Adrian who started running his fingers through my snarled hair and passed out.

Chapter 1 D.P.O.V

When I heard that Queen Lissa was coming to the academy to teach Spirit users and take a break I was surprised, but when I found out who would be replacing Alberta as the new Head of Security I was shocked! Rose was coming back to Saint Vladimir's! Why would she come back I asked my self. She is the Captain of the Court Guardians! But then I pieced together that her and Lissa would both be coming back together. God last time I had seen Rose she had said all of two words to me Hi, and Bye. I mean I hadn't seen the woman in two years but from what I'd heard Adrian Ivashkov had moved in with her and they had been dating for 3 years. Whenever I thought about that prickhead I wanted to punch someone, but my Roza had always liked him for some unfathomable reason.

Great my student/ ex girlfriend was now going to be my boss. I mean I knew Alberta was retiring but I thought, hoped actually she would consider me for the job seeing how I was here anyway with Tasha. We had come here about a year and a half ago when Tasha was asked to teach some Offensive Magic Classes. I myself had agreed to take over Stan Alto's class for him when he moved to the Russian Academy. Tasha and I had finally tried dating about 4 months ago, before that I hadn't been ready but now I could allow myself to be with Tasha because I had never hurt her like I had Roza. Just thinking about her had me thinking about the night in Russia on the bridge. Although I know I was not in control of myself when I held her captive I can remember my thoughts and my actions perfectly which had been the problem when I had been turned back. I remembered too much every time I looked at Rose. I remembered what I had done to her. She literally made me hate myself by just being near her, but with Tasha that wasn't a problem because she wasn't like Roza in a lot of ways she wasn't as strong, pretty, or badass.

"Guardian Belikov!" Alberta called, "you and the rest of day shift are required to escort the queen to her wing of the dorms from the plane be ready in 15 minutes." "I'll be there thanks" I said. Rose would be here in 15 minutes! I went back to my room and donned my guardian uniform then hustled out to the academy's runway. The jet circled up in the air and then dived towards the runway coming to a complete stop right in front of us. I heard Alberta bring her walkie talkie to her lips and say, "All clear Guardian Hathaway." "Thanks Alberta see ya in a few."

Oh God that was Roza on the other end of the walkie talkie and she was here! I seriously wanted to piss my pants right about then. The jet's door was opened and the stairs where let down. Queen Lissa stepped out hand in hand with Christian and I smiled, they looked happy. Lissa waved to me and winked. Next off came Eddie and he had certainly bulked up since I had last seen him. His shoulders and neck where way thicker than they used to be. Next to Eddie a dark blonde haired Moroi was walking. Its was Tanya Lissa's sister! Last but not least came Roza. She looked gorgeous as always and she had filled out a bit since I had last seen her and, if possible, had gotten hotter. Her hair was now waist length and blowing in the light breeze. She had a red shirt on with a v-neck that made my mouth water! But what I saw next had me clenching my fist because, as Roza stepped off the plane Adrian Ivashkov leaned forward and slapped her on the ass! I expected Rose to turn around and punch him in the face, but no what she did instead was squeal like a school girl and wrap her arm around his waist! They decended the stairs together and stood side by side with Lissa and Christian. Alberta stepped forward and greeted Lissa and Christian. She told them where their rooms where and then introduced the guardians and explained that they would escort them to there rooms so they could rest before they met with Kirova. Next she turned to Rose and Adrian and told them that their rooms where in the Ivashkov wing. What they had rooms together!

I struggled hard to keep my guardian mask on. Then Alberta took Rose's hand and said that they had some things to go over before she left and that Rose could stop by her office later.

We surrounded the Queen and where starting to lead her away to her rooms when Rose spotted me. She looked at me and blinked… then she blinked again… then she turned to Lissa and screamed at the top of her lungs "WHAT THE FUCK LISS!" All the guardians stopped and some gasped at how she was talking to Lissa. "You don't think you could've fucking warned me he would be here!" Then Roza shoot me one last icy glare before stalking away to the Ivashkov wing. Lissa stared after her with a snobby expression on her face and was about to say something when that dickweed Adrian stepped in front of her. "Wow Liss this is seriously not cool after all the crap she went through to be able to come here with you, God if I where her I'd be just as pissed!" "Adrian wait" but he was already walking after Rose. "Save it Liss I'm gonna go calm her down there is a lot of black in her aura." "Adrian I only did it because I knew she wouldn't come if she knew and you know she wouldn't have!"

All the guardians had regained their composure and where facing forward being invisible. I was in shock I mean I knew Roza disliked me but that was all out hatred on her face. It made me want to break down and cry but I just kept walking forward with everyone else.
