Author's Note
This is my first story on here. Of course, it's a Vampire Academy fanfic, so I hope you'll enjoy it. :) Also, the whole story is in Rose's perspective, unless it comes to a point where I have to do it in some other character's perspective, but I doubt it'd come to that. Kay, I hope you'll review at the end! (:

Prologue
Do you ever think about, when you've done all you can do, giving up? I don't. I'm not the type to give up. My life has always been complicated, and sometimes, when I think about it, filled with adventure and way too many journeys.
But when I really look hard deep within myself, I know I am thankful for everything that becomes my life. Like, say, guarding her Royal Majesty, Vasilisa Dragomir. Or, her full name, Vasilisa Sabina Rhea Dragomir.
But I just call her Lissa when we aren't at Council meetings. Anyway, my life is just about what I'd imagined…but not quite.
See, the thing is, Lissa has only been queen for a short while, and that's only because she has another half-sibling: Jill Mastrano. Lissa and Jill share the same dad, who's dead.
I'm not going to talk about that much. It's too hard to explain. I've always been the kind of woman who rushes into situations, sometimes without thinking.
Live in the now. Worry about the consequences later.
Dimitri has always chastised me for rushing into situations without thinking. Dimitri is my lover and another member of the royal guard for Lissa.
Ever since I first met Dimitri, my life has changed forever. He'd taught me so much. Why he'd taught me so much? Because he had been my instructor.
Of course, we are equals now, and whenever we have free time, we spend it together. Out in public. I love Dimitri and my life is just about perfect…except, of course, it really isn't.
My name is Rose Hathaway, and I am nineteen years old, living my life as a guardian for the Queen and living by my own standards. Of course, guardians have to follow rules.
And this is my story.
Chapter 1
I was on my break with Dimitri, of course, and we were lying in our bedroom, in the palace housing.
"I know this is a really common joke, but why did the chicken cross the road?" I said, trying hard not to laugh.
"To get to the other side," He said in that calm manner of his, but I saw an amused glint in his eyes. "Roza, you really need to think of better jokes." He laughed.
"Yeah, I know, comrade. No need to remind me." I grinned and kissed his lips. I loved Dimitri, and he understood me, like more than I understood myself.
It was the same with me. I understood him more than he understood himself. I loved him because he was the bravest man I knew, and about a billion other reasons. I was always captivated by not only his looks, but by his personality.
We kissed for a long time. I pulled back slightly, and I gazed into the depths of his gorgeous, brown eyes. I smiled then I got up off the bed and slipped off my shirt, not caring that I was changing in front of Dimitri.
I slipped off my jeans, and then changed into a silky red nightgown, that went down to mid-thigh.
It was spaghetti strap, and was very low cut. I put my jeans and t-shirt in the laundry basket. It was Moroi night so we had to get our rest.
I slipped into bed with Dimitri, and after him staring longingly at me for a long, long time, we fell asleep.
The next morning, I woke up, and Dimitri was already gone. My heart pounded in my chest as I recalled the way he'd looked at me last night.
I hurried and changed into a pair of jeans and a red tank top that clung a little. I then put on a black leather long sleeved cropped jacket, seeing as how it was winter.
I slipped on my tennis shoes and walked out into the spacious living room. I saw Dimitri sitting there, drinking a cup of coffee, and reading a western novel. He glanced up at my approach and smiled.
I sat down next to him. He placed a bookmark in his book and set it down on the coffee table.
"Someone's finally awake." He said, amused.
"What time is it? Obviously, I don't own a watch."
"It's almost three in the afternoon."
"Oh, wow. I usually don't sleep that long." I noted. "And aren't we going to another one of those meetings?" I asked.
He shook his head, a smile playing on his lips. "While you were sleeping, Guardian Tanner came here and told me you and I weren't needed at the meeting, and he also told me that we were going to have a longer break than usual."
"Oh. Well, that was unexpected. Heck, I don't mind." I said casually. My heart was racing in my chest as I thought of all the possibilities of what Dimitri and I could do.
Dimitri cupped my face between his hands and leaned forward and kissed my lips. At first, it was slow and sweet, and then it became hungrier and passionate. Without breaking the kiss, he pulled me up, and we eventually ended up on our bed.
He was on top of me, and as our clothes eventually ended up on the floor, I knew that he was made for me, meant for me. As I was meant for him.
We eventually stopped making love, and I lay against his chest, feeling content and happy. I grew tired, even though it was the middle of the Moroi day. I yawned and Dimitri laughed.
"You're tired already? Well, I can understand why." He said. I nodded, my eyes drifting closed but I forced them open, trying to stay awake. "Roza," He said gently. "If you need to sleep, you can sleep. It's what your body needs. Rest, please, Roza."
"I…I need to stay awake…" But I gave in to exhaustion and I fell asleep, dreaming about Dimitri…
I woke up a while later and saw Dimitri was sitting up on the bed, his back against the headboard, reading a western novel. He was clearly He was already dressed.
I got up and changed into faded dark blue jeans, and a t-shirt that was cropped, showing off my stomach.
I was hungry, so I went to the kitchen that was adjacent to the living room, and I cooked myself a couple corn dogs in the microwave. When they were done, I let them cool for a bit then I ate them.
I walked out of the kitchen and went to see Eddie Castile, a really good friend of mine, who lived next door. "Rose, where are you going?" Dimitri asked, coming up from behind me.
I turned around, and replied, "I'm going to go see Eddie. I haven't seen him in a while."
"All right. Come back soon, okay?" I nodded. He kissed my forehead, and I left shortly thereafter, heading off to Eddie's place.
