I'm actually having a pretty good day. xD PE was cut short since we had to help move the tables and chairs and stuff from the commons into the gym so it could be used for…I'm not sure exactly. XD Anyway, thanks for the reviews, but I'm gonna ask a little more….Give me feedback people! Instead of just saying it was good, awesome, or great, tell me, please! Tell me what was so good or something, or just be honest if it wasn't good….I'm not trying to be mean or anything ('cause I'm not that kinda person. xD) but I'm getting kinda tired of the really short reviews…x{

ANYWAYS! I really, really needed to do DPOV of the sequel to Love, Life, and Tragedy, so I'll be working on that as well as the other two. XD Hope you like!

I growled to myself when I walked back into the house and found Rose nowhere in sight. I took in a deep breath and tried to calm down. "She never listens," I muttered, running back down the stairs. I was starting to get frustrated with this girl.

I racked my brain and tried to figure out where she would be. I finally realized where she was and groaned, walking back out the door, pulling my sunglasses back on since it was sunny outside. I followed the sidewalk, knowing exactly what Rose was doing and where she was now.

While I walked, I thought about how long it had been since we had been at either the Court or the Academy. After Victor Dashkov had captured Lissa, Rose had insisted we rescue her. Little did she know what I had had planned out. One night, I told her that we would have to run away from the Court and find out where Lissa was being held, along with Adrian Ivashkov.

Soon, though Alberta tracked us down on my phone and told us it would be better if we would head back to the Academy. When Rose and I had got there, a meeting had been called on what to do about the rescue. I remembered how tired Roza looked, how venerable she had been when her best friend was kidnapped…

I sighed. Roza. I loved her. I loved her with all my heart, but our love was forbidden in our world; two dhampirs who were guardians, could not afford to focus on one another. Lissa was Moroi and I kept reminding Rose that. But our desires for one another led up to stolen kisses and stolen moments….

I had slipped back into the role of her mentor and trying to hide my feelings from her, though we had long since left the Court and Academy.

Suddenly, I saw a figure up ahead. She was sneezing and her hair looked slightly messed up. The hair was half of what tipped me off it was her; the other half was the connection we both seemed to have with each other. My jaw clenched and face carefully controlled, I fell into step beside her.

"Would you care to explain as to why you're out of the house when I specifically told you to stay inside?" I asked her, once I knew she knew I was there.

She lifted her shoulders. "I needed some air."

I sighed. "Rose, you can't keep doing this when I'm gone."

For once, she didn't respond to it with her usual witty jokes or teasing. I pressed on. "And what about Lissa and Tasha? Or at least Lissa? Aren't you supposed to be on guard in case someone who might recognize us comes to the house?" Not likely, but still.

Rose had on her sunglasses, but I could tell she was skeptical. "Well, Tasha took Lissa shopping, so they weren't home, and I got bored since you weren't home either."

She was really something. I rolled my eyes. She didn't say anything else and neither did I; both of us lost in our own worlds. I thought about the past few weeks. Victor had hired a Strigoi to haunt both Lissa and Rose, scaring them to death. Mainly, Rose was his target. He invaded her dreams, her head, knew where she was…

I never admitted it, but it scared the hell out of me as well. So, after the rescue, Tasha and I realized we needed to take the girls and get out of there and fast. With help from Rose's puppy, Promise, we had an advantage on knowing what was heading our way.

Promise was not an ordinary dog; she was some kind of magic being who only revealed herself to people she knew wouldn't abuse the idea of having that power. I had given her to Rose and while back for her birthday at the Academy just before graduation in our cabin.

Looking at her now, I saw just how much she had changed and matured. I cocked my head to the side and called her name once. She didn't give notice to me. I stopped and stared at her, placing my hands on her shoulders.

"Rose, I've been calling you for the past two minutes. Are you alright?" I asked her.

"Just fine," her voice was raspy, and I couldn't stop thinking how close we were and how much closer to her lips I could get if I leaned down…

No. I couldn't think that way anymore! But her response triggered something in me; she was lying. I crossed my arms and glared at her. With a sigh, she reached up and pulled her sunglasses off her eyes. I gasped, swearing in Russian when I saw how bloodshot and tired she seemed.

"Rose!" I swore again.

Quickly, before she could place them back on her eyes, I snatched them from her and took her face in my hands. I once again wanted to call her Roza, feel her lips on mine, her breath…

I nearly groaned at my thoughts. They were always on Rose, no matter what and I couldn't help it. I tried to keep myself distracted from that by focusing on that she needed to get upstairs and cleaned up.

"Fine, I'm, not ok, I feel horrible and sick and…the room's spinning…" her sentence trailed off and she swayed a bit.

She leaned back against me, needing the support. She sneezed again and sounded just plain miserable. I looked down as my hands steadied her, only to find her eyes half closed and a look of drowsiness on her face.

"Let's get you upstairs," I murmured to her, picking her up and cradling her to me.

Her head rested against my chest and it felt good to have her in my arms again after so long. She was relaxed and her eyes were closed. I got her up the stairs and headed to my room instead of hers; whatever she had could be contagious to Lissa.

She looked like she was sleeping, but I needed her to wake up. "Roza," I started.

She stirred and opened her eyes as I laid her on the bed. She blinked at me. "Huh?" Rose sounded very sleepy and exhausted.

"I think you're actually….sick," I stated, bewildered.

I could see her trying to think, but I had a feeling that her head was bothering her very much. "Where are your clothes?" I prompted gently.

Her eyes squinted as she looked around for a moment, getting an idea of where she was. I sighed, and went over to my dresser and pulled out one of my T shirts for her, knowing she couldn't answer very well.

"Get dressed and I'll be right back," I mumbled, turning around and walking back out the door.

I trudged over to the kitchen where the medicine was kept just in case, and filled a glass of water for her as well. The aspirin I was going to give her was strong, but the side affect was that it would make her drowsy almost immediately.

After getting the medicine and water, I started back up the stairs, getting to the door. I slipped into the room, shutting the door quietly behind me, hearing Roza swearing out loud.

"Fucking hell!" she complained.

"Roza, language," I frowned slightly at her use of words.

A glare snapped into place. "I think I have a good excuse for wearing this time."

She had me there, but still. I sighed and shook my head, handing her the pill and the water. "Take this, but you'll start feeling very tired."

"I'm already tired."

She sneezed once more and I felt sorry for her. I carefully sat on the edge of the bed and watched as she slipped the pill into her mouth, but kept a firm grip on the glass. Chuckling, I took it from her and tilted it up to her lips, letting her drain the whole thing before I took it away and set it on the table.

She slumped against me, tired already and gave a soft sigh. "...Stay…" she breathed.

I heard her nonetheless and pulled her to me, unable to keep my hands off her. I hugged her tight and whispered, "I love you, my Roza."

She soon drifted off and I just held her tight, moving into a more comfortable position while she slept on.

Kay, I couldn't wait to start something else, so here you go! This is DPOV of Forbidden Love, Guardian Life, and Broken Promises like I already said….XD I'm really impatient with some things. XP
