Dimitri left Rose to guard Tasha in frostbite. He left her with a promise to return, to visit… he told her it was so that they could be together. But what happens when he doesn't come back for a whole two years? After two years of being away from him, Rose believes he finally gave up on her to be with Tasha. With Lissa and Christian about to wed, Tasha and Dimitri come to court for the wedding.

While he was gone Rose had been assigned as Lissa's guardian, but as a royal princess Lissa had also been assigned another guardian. His name is Matthew; he's twenty-four and has the hots for Rose… but aside for interacting with him while on duty Rose won't give him the time of day. Christian had been assigned Eddie as the Queen didn't want to waste a more experienced guardian.

But all is not as it seems… and things in the Moroi world was about to change.

I hope that you enjoy this story I know that it has been done a lot, but I am hoping to make it different so that you all like it. Please tell me what you think and if you want me to continue. I do not own Vampire Academy or any of the characters besides Matthew. I only own the plot. ~Nechole

A visitor

Rose's P.O.V

I still have nightmares of Dimitri telling me he's leaving. When he left, I felt like my life was crashing down around me and there was nothing that I could do to stop it, I felt helpless! I told him we could work things out if only he would stay. But his mind was made up… 'Roza we will still be together, I am just going to be Tasha's guardian so that we can…You and I can't be Lissa's guardian; I won't be able to protect her the way I'm supposed to. You have to understand Roza I'm doing this for us.'Those words were my undoing, only when he had caressed my cheek had I noticed I'd been crying. I couldn't take it, couldn't deal with it so I ran away from him seeking refuge in my dorm room.

That was the last I ever heard from him and it still hurts, what made it all the worse was all the lies he had told me… he told me he'd visit me, told me he'd come to court whenever he could. Only that hadn't happened at all! I wish he had kept his words though. I wish he would have just come to the court like he said that he would. He promised he would visit me.

Today however found me moping in my room, as usual I was in my room trying to make a whole on the carpet as I paced back and forth… as memories from that awful day replayed in my head. I hated moping in my room, but what else is there to do on my day off? Just as my heart started to break again Lissa called me through the bond.

'Rose, come see me now it is important,' he voice was clear in my head and it sounded urgent so I did what I always do when she calls, I bolted into motion imagining her in all sorts of trouble.

Before I knocked I eavesdropped a bit, telling myself I was listening for trouble but all I heard was Lissa and Christian talking about their upcoming wedding, so I relaxed a bit. This was no news to me though as they had told me last week they were getting married next month… quick yes, but why wait when you are in love. I was hoping she wouldn't invite Tasha but I had a terrible gut feeling that that was exactly what she was going to tell me. I knew it wasn't fair for me to hate her, but she is the reason my comrade is gone. I wished I could just get over him, but I couldn't.

I just couldn't date anyone else since he left, I know I should but I just can't as he stills owns my heart and soul. I still miss him so much; he still means the world to me even though he left. Just as I was about to knock Adrian came out of his room.

"Little Dhampir, what are you doing out here? If I didn't know any better I'd say you were thinking real hard about something, but we both know you don't think… Do you want to talk about it?" Adrian had started off with one of his jokes but changed direction when he took a good look at me, he has always been good to me, but I wasn't sure if I should tell him or not. I didn't want to hurt him with my messed up life.

"No, Lissa told me that she needs to talk to me. I don't know what it is about, but I have a bad gut feeling about it," I said, not really wanting to talk to him. I felt badly about turning him down when I know he still has feelings for me.

"Oh, okay! So why are you just standing out here?Knock on her door already," He made it sound like it was the most obvious thing in the world. When he turned his head to the side I could tell he was trying to read my aura… squinting his eyes as if he couldn't really get it though, and that told me he had been drinking already.

"I'm hesitating because I think they are about to tell me that Dimitri and Tasha are coming to the wedding, and if that is what it is than I really don't want to go in there at all," as I said this he gave me a knowing look, he tried to hide it but it was too late.

"You knew?" he didn't answer but his eyes gave me the answer I needed.

"Why did you bother asking me if something was wrong if you already knew that he was coming?" I screamed at Adrian.

Now I really didn't want to go in there, didn't want to be around Adrian either so I ran. I'm not ready to see him. Yes I still love him, but I know he's with Tasha. A few months ago I took a vacation, everyone knew I was taking some time off but what they didn't know was that I had gone to see Dimitri. I wanted answers, wanted to know why he was ignoring my calls.

I don't know what I was hoping to find but when I got there Tasha and Dimitri were making out at a restaurant. It nearly destroyed my heart. I never told anyone what happened. I wasn't ready to talk to anyone about it. I know I should have moved on like Dimitri, but I just can't he is my soul, heart, and everything else. I wish he still loved me.

Right now I needed to be away from everyone, I needed to think. I didn't want to believe he was coming here, yes it's what I had wanted but not anymore… and it's like Lissa wants to rip my heart to shreds even more. I hate this right now!

I know I shouldn't be moping around, I should be my happy sarcastic self, but that is never going to happen. I hate this so much. I really cannot stand him to be with Tasha. I have nothing against the woman other than she stole my one true love. My other half and I am never going to get him back.
