This story is about Adrian and Sydney and their forbidden love. If I sometimes make Sydney hate Dimitri don't hurt me. It's only because I hate what Dimitri did to Adrian so don't be offended.
Chapter 1- Here We Go Again
As if things couldn't get any worse, Rose walked in. as much as I loved Rose I was silently hoping she wasn't going to stay. Adrian's world was already crashing down he was working with Dimitri. I glanced at him and saw the pain in his eyes. I could only hope that he would stay on the path he was on and not seek refuge in cigarettes and alcohol.
Dimitri's face was a mask. I didn't know if he was ashamed, angry, or feeling triumphant. For as long as I've known him he's always had a guardian mask similar to Eddie's. A face devoid of any emotion and probably taken years to perfect. Rose, however, has never managed to perfect that mask due to her fiery personality which is why she now stood here with a smile on her face, wearing a black sweater and black jeans looking happy to be here. "Hey Sydney!" she said.
"Hey Rose," I replied enthusiastically. To Dimitri, I nodded and said, "Guardian Belikov." He nodded back.
"So how's it been over here? Are our evil creatures of the night giving you problems?" Rose questioned, smiling.
"For your information, Rose, me and Sage have been working very well together. It's called cooperation. And loyalty," Adrian said harshly. The tone of his voice surprised me. I knew he was mad and angry but I didn't think he would ever talk to Rose like that. "And friendship," he added after a second thought. Oh my god. He did not just say that. It's not like I didn't want to be his friend. But he was a Moroi! What are you thinking Sydney! I can't want to be friends with him. Thank God there are no Alchemists here right now.
"Adrian, for the last time-" Rose's voice bought me back to earth but Abe interrupted her.
"Alright, alright. Settle down people. What happened between you two has nothing to do with our current situation and as much as I want to watch you bicker about what happened and as amusing as it is, we need to move on," Abe said in his oh-so-powerful voice. Of course he was smiling, relaxed, not understanding that what was happening would bring Adrian's world crashing down.
"Nothing to do with our current situation! Are you kidding? My research partner is the guy who stole my girlfriend! You don't see anything wrong with that?" Adrian thundered, incredulous.
"Simmer down Ivashkov. This is strictly business. Try to be professional for once in your life," Abe replied calmly. "Now, Sonya and Belikov are here to help you incredibly bright people figure out why it is that we despise Sage's blood so much and why restored Moroi and dhampirs cannot become Strigoi again." Abe said this as if it was the easiest task in the world and it would take just as much time to eat a piece of cake.
"Where are Sonya and Dimitri staying?" I asked curiously.
"Here of course. With Adrian," Abe once again said this as if there were no flaws with his magical idea. I could already see Adrian begin to open his mouth to argue.
"What are Sonya, Dimitri, and Angeline's roles as part of our family?" I asked to stop Adrian from arguing. I turned to Sonya, avoiding Adrian's annoyed glare.
"We are going to be siblings as well as your cousins," Sonya answered enthusiastically.
"Is someone going to tell me how I'm supposed to be useful in this place?" Angeline asked impatiently. As Abe turned to talk to her, Rose called my name. "Can I talk to you for a second? She asked.
"Sure," I said shocked. We walked into the kitchen and Rose turned to face me.
"How's Adrian been doing?" This question surprised me, although don't know why. I really don't have a clue about romance. Should someone ask how their ex that they cheated on was doing?
"He's doing a lot better. He's cut down on the drinking and smoking surprisingly," I answered, then hesitated before continuing. "But Rose, don't take this the wrong way, I think all the progress he's made will be lost."
"I know. That's what I'm worried about too and I told my father but according to him, everything will work out fine," she said. "But honestly, who else could we have asked? It's not like we have a whole army of restored Moroi and dhampirs to choose from."
"Precisely. So stop worrying your pretty little head about it," Abe said, appearing in the kitchen with Dimitri behind him. "Sage, just look after Ivashkov and make sure he doesn't do anything rash. Rose, come on. We have to make the conversation with Jill short and check in with Castile quickly. Princess Vasilia will need you back at Court," he said, his tone demanding and impatient.
"All right, calm down," she said, annoyed. "Bye Dimitri," she said softly.
"Bye Roza," his mask breaking and I saw emotion for the first time on the dhampir's face. They shared a brief kiss before Rose and Abe left. Me and Dimitri walked back into the living room where Adrian and Sonya were having a quiet discussion and Angeline was looking around the room curiously.
"Are we leaving now?" Angeline asked, bored.
"Give me five minutes. Adrian, can I talk to you?" I looked at Adrian, then led him into the kitchen.
"Yes Sage?" he asked tapping his fingers on the counter.
"Are you ok?" I asked, getting straight to the point.
"Oh, yeah! Why wouldn't I be? It's not like I'm going to be working with the guy that I hate the most in the world!" he snapped sarcastically, his voice scaring me.
"Listen, Adrian. I know it's going to be tough but please remember Jill. Remember that your drinking and smoking hurts her," I said urgently.
"Look Sage, we can't all be perfect goody-two-shoes like you. Okay?"
"You're better than this Adrian!" I yelled back, my temper rising.
"Oh really? Well I'm sorry to disappoint you!" He reached into his pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes.
"Wow. Just when I thought that you were beginning to be a great guy. You make me sick!" I stomped out of the room. "Angeline, let's go!" Everyone looked at me, shocked, but I didn't care. Adrian should not go back to his old self even if Dimitri was a reminder of the pain Rose caused him.
The ride back to the school was long and quite. In the lobby, I found Abe and Rose talking to Jill and Eddie. "Well, well, well. Look who decided to show up," said Abe.
"Hey Sydney!" Jill said brightly.
"Hey Jill!" I said smiling despite my mood. I couldn't be upset with her for something that wasn't even her fault. "This is Angeline Dawes and she will be playing as our cousin."
"Alright, so now that everyone knows each other and Sage has decided to kindly show up, me and Rose will be on our way," Abe said.
After Rose and Abe left, I tried to find a way to talk to Eddie and Jill alone. Then, Kristin and Julia walked in and came over.
"Hey girls!" I said happily, grateful that they showed up. "This is our cousin Angeline. Do you guys mind showing her around?"
"Of course not. Come on Angeline," Julia said.
As soon as they left, I turned to Eddie and Jill. "I suppose Abe filled you in and told you that Sonya and Dimitri are going to be helping the research?" They both nodded.
"Sydney, how's Adrian?" Jill asked, worry in her voice and filling her eyes.
"Back to smoking and drinking." They both groaned. "I'm sorry Jill. I tried to tell him to stop. I really did."
"Don't worry," she said.
"It's not your fault Sydney. Adrian is going to be Adrian. He is going to be a pain and difficult. Don't beat yourself over it," Eddie said. I nodded but was still upset.
That night, before I fell asleep I thought about why Adrian upset me so much. Why did I care about him? He'd made such progress since I've met him and I didn't want him to lose it. He'd almost given up drinking and smoking. I wasn't lying when I said he was better than that. He truly was. He was a great person to be around. He was fun, caring, and serious when he wanted to be. He could do great things in his life.
Why was I thinking about this! Adrian was a Moroi, a vampire, a deadly creature of the night! I couldn't think about him like this! For the rest of the night I turned over and over in bed trying to sleep and block out Adrian from my thoughts but I couldn't.
The next morning, at breakfast, Jill looked horrible and tired and I knew for sure Adrian had been drinking. Oh boy. Here we go again.
So? What did you think? Review please! I should be updating once a week but don't kill me if I don't. If I don't it's because I'm in a school where teachers like to give homework for fun. Also, if anyone loves Christian, check out my one shot of Rose and Christian. Strictly friendship!
