Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Academy, but I do own Ayden.

A/N: I felt bad for Adrian, because it's so obvious that Rose will get back with Dimitri. So I came up with a story that would give Adrian a better mood. So I hope you enjoy!

BEWARE! MAJOR OC!


Adrian sat at one of the courts bars, taking in his fourth drink. He has had a hard week. First Rose breaks up with him to go back to the one man who broke her heart, then he finds out that his parents are most likely to send him off to an expensive collage, and now Lissa is mad at him for being mad a Rose. I mean can you blame the guy? He just got his heart crushed, from a girl he actually liked.

"Give me another Ralphy." Adrian said, tapping the counter. Ralphy, the bar tender, gave Adrian another drink, but looked at him worried. Adrian narrowed his eyes at him.

"Don't say a damn word. I need this." Adrian snapped. Ralphy shook his head and headed down to the other end of the bar. Adrian watched him walk over and saw Ralphy serving a girl. She looked like moroi, but almost like a damphir. He checked her aura. She was red and ringed with black. This chick was pissed. Adrian went back to his drink.

He downed the whole thing. He put his two first fingers to his temples. He needs to get over his funky mood. It's not healthy for him to be so damned depressed.

"No touching North or South of the equator ass!"

Adrian looked up to see the girl at the end of the bar, twisting a guy's wrist. She looked really pissed, not to mention her aura blasted red all over the place. The guy looked like he was in pain. The girl threw his arm away from her and turned back to her drink.

"Skanky bitch." he said, rubbing his wrist. Her aura turned into flames. Adrian's eyes went wide. He's never seen anything like it.

The girl got up and took the guy's arm back. She pinned it behind his back and slammed his head onto the counter. She growled low into his ear, but Adrian heard every word.

"Next time you think about calling a woman a skanky bitch, expect me to come rip your throat out." she hissed.

"You're a fucking psycho!" the guy shouted.

"You're just a fucking douche bag." Adrian found himself saying. They looked up at him. Adrian tapped his glass against the counter. "That's no way to treat a lady." he said. The girl let go of the guy and looked at Adrian tiredly.

"Lord Ivashkov." she said. Of course she would know who Adrian is.

"Lord Ivashkov." the guy said more enthusiastic than the girl. The guy got up and bowed. Adrian sighed and got up and walked over to them.

"I advise you to leave." Adrian said to the guy. The guy nodded and bowed again before leaving. Adrian turned and looked at the girl. Her aura was still red, but no fire. "Are you okay?" Adrian asked her.

"Just fine, thanks." she said bored.

"Let me by you a drink." Adrian offered. She laughed.

"Haven't you had enough to drink?" she asked. He gave her a sarcastic smirk.

"Have you been watching me?" he asked. She smirked right back.

"Ego much?" she asked. That got Adrian to laugh. "Actually, I'm headed out. Thanks though." she said. She put a couple bucks on the counter to pay for her last drink. "Thanks Ralphy." she said. Ralphy smiled at her and nodded.

"Don't go getting into any fights." he joked. The girl laughed.

"I'll be headed out too." Adrian said. "Making sure this young lady gets to her apartment safely." he added. The girl scoffed.

"Thanks, Captain Ego, but I'm a big girl. I don't need a baby sitter." she said. She had fire, Adrian noticed that.

"Fine, escourt you then." he said.

"Whatever." she said. "Bye Ralphy." she waved at the bar tender, and walked out of the bar. She nearly tripped over her self. Adrian caught her before she could do any damage. She started to laugh hysterically.

"How much have you had to drink?" Adrian asked.

"The funny thing is, not much." she laughed. Her aura started to tone down a bit. She had an orange glow around her.

She walked toward the moroi apartments. Adrian noticed that she us unroyal at the bar, but with the location of the apartments she must be important.

"So what's your name?" Adrain asked.

"Ayden Fairmont." she said. Fairmont? It sounded familiar. But why?

"Do you work here at the court?" Adrian asked. Ayden shook her head.

"My parents do. They work for the court system. Dad is a lawyer type thing, and mom is a secretary. I don't know. Don't really pay attention to this hell hole." she said. Well that only helped a little.

"Do your parents know you drink?" Adrian asked, just trying to make conversation. She laughed.

"No. They would die if they ever found out that their 'perfect' daughter was drinking." she said.

"They don't notice when you come home drunk?" he asked.

"No. They don't live with me. They live inside the court, for emergencies. They stuck me into these apartments just so I would stick around." she said.

"What? They afraid you'd run away?" he joked.

"Again." she said.

"Again? You've ran away before?" he asked.

"Yeah. Couldn't really go off on my own, being under aged and all." she said.

"How old are you?" he asked.

"Turning 19 in a few months." she said. "Why?" she asked.

"And they still keep you under lock and key?" he asked.

"Yep. Some life of mine." she said sarcastically. They both laughed.

Then Ayden tripped again, falling over and taking Adrian down with her. She landed on top of Adrian, laughing even harder.

"You okay?" Adrian asked.

"I'm fine. You?" she asked.

"I'm good." he said. She looked down at him.

"You know. I could go for another round. You in?" she asked. He didn't need to be asked twice. She helped him up and lead him inside her apartment.

He sat on the couch while she got the liquor. He looked around the place taking it in. It wasn't as big as his room, but it was big. Ayden came back with two champagne glasses and two big bottles of alcohol.

"One more round?" Adrian teased.

"What? Can't hold your liquor?" she teased back.

"Just making sure you can." he replied.

"Oh, you'd be surprised." she said, sitting on the couch next to him. She handed him a cup and opened up the first bottle. She poured some into both glasses.

"A toast." Adrian said.

"To what?" Ayden asked.

"Don't know. To the bar." he said.

"I'll drink to that." she replied. They clinked glasses and took a giant gulp.

"So what brought you to the bar in the first place?" Adrian asked. Ayden shrugged.

"I got pissed off. I needed a drink." she said.

"Ya, same here." he said. They took another drink.

"Who did you get pissed at?" Ayden asked.

"Just people in general. My life practically." he said.

"Ya. Life just isn't fair. One minuet your happy the next, you want to fall out a window." she said.

"Love isn't fair either." Adrian added. He must really be wasted. He never talked about his love life with anyone before.

"Tell me about it. A couple weeks ago my boyfriend tells me he's 'moving on'." Ayden said, rolling her eyes.

"Tough break up?" he asked.

"You have no idea." she said.

They continued to drink and talk. Why not? They probably wouldn't remember anything in the morning. Later in the night, they started talking about their past relationships. They laughed and teased each other like they were old friends. Then Ayden laid her head on Adrian's shoulder.

"I just need a friend, with benefits." she said. They both laughed.

"Ya. That way it wouldn't be weird after words." Adrian agreed.

"Exactly." Ayden said. "If only I could find one." she said. She took another gulp of her drink. Then she laughed.

"What?" Adrian asked.

"I'm so wasted." she said. Adrian snorted.

"Ya. Me too." he said. They both laughed. Then Ayden got up.

"I'm going to bed." she announced. "Come on." she said, holding out her hand.

"What?" Adrian asked confused.

"I can't let you walk back to your place. You might not get back there. I don't have any spare blankets. So you'll have to sleep in my bed with me." she said.

"Doesn't that seem weird?" he asked.

"Its not like we're doing anything. Who's going to see us? Come on. Or do you want to freeze in the gutters?" she said.

Without thinking, Adrian took her hand and followed her into her bedroom.
