Soul Bound

A/N: I don't own vampire academy. SO before I get into this I've only seen the movie and haven't gotten a chance to read the books yet. So bare with me.

Rose sighed softly as she went to sleep. Something was pulling her into her dreams. Somewhere in the darkest corner of her mind someone was telling her not to be afraid of what she was to see in her dreams. It was a calming feeling once she felt sleep drag her down. When she woke she never remembered the dream only the sadness and lingering pain of losing something so precious. Sometimes she'd wake up and tears would be streaming down her face. There was some part of her that wanted to know what she dreamed of but another side of her told her she didn't want to know.

She rose from one such dream to get ready for her session with Dimitri. She furiously rubbed her eyes to try and get rid of the tear tracks on her face. Then she felt something bad was going to happen soon and it didn't sit well with her. When she arrived Dimitri started when their eyes met.

"Rose?"

"It's nothing. Just a bad dream… or a memory I can't remember. It happens every once in awhile."

He moved forward and hesitated on touching her. Dimitri led them outside for their training in the forest. For hours they worked on her abilities. Once he finally called a halt to their training she laid down on the grass. Something had been bothering her since the day she'd met Dimitri. It was almost like they'd known each other before now, but she knew she'd only met him for the first time in Oregon. The lingering feeling was always there.

"Something on your mind Rose?" he finally said bringing her from her deep thoughts.

She glanced at him for a moment. She wished he'd call her Roza again, his affectionate pet name for her. There was no way he'd call her that intentionally because he was fighting what they felt for each other. It made her hope and with that hope was a dashing realization that the hope probably wouldn't come true. Taking a deep breath she wanted to voice what she was thinking.

"Do you believe in reincarnation?"

He tilted his head to the side looking at her. Something flickered in his eyes but then it vanished. That was an oddity from him but she shook it off.

"Why do you ask?"

She closed her eyes and tried to find the words to voice why she asked. A laugh escaped her lips softly.

"It's going to sound stupid."

"Humor me."

"Ever since the fight with Natalie I've had dreams about a Shadow Kissed pair. I don't remember a lot of it. Just names and voices. His name is Drake and his bonded I can't remember her name."

He looked at her a moment. Rose took a deep breath before continuing. "She's a Moroi and he was her Guardian. I think they loved each other so much that it got to the point it physically hurt to be separated."

"As romantic as it sounds…"

Rose felt tears slide down her cheeks.

"They died together."

"Rose…"

She smiled softly at what she was seeing in her mind's eye.

"Star-crossed lovers just like us."

Before she could say more he was laying over her.

"We… are… not… star-crossed… lovers," he growled as he planted kisses on her body between each word.

"Then what are we?"

His lips brushed across her neck. She tilted her head back as his lips brushed across her throat. Rose felt something hit her like a sledge hammer to the chest. Her nails dug into his shoulders.

"Roza!" Dimitri called softly his accent thick with his worried emotions.

Rose's eyes shot open. He frowned at the fact they weren't they're normal brown color, they were a blue green color.

"You've forgotten me," she accused softly.

To his shock he could detect the Russian accent in her voice which confused him.

"Roza?"

"That's not my name!" she snapped.

He jerked away from her. There was a brief flicker of concern as he looked over her body to see if there was something out of place on her body but there wasn't. "My name," she snapped. "Is Rosalind. Only my Guardian Drake could call me that."

Then the reason for his Rose to ask him about reincarnation made all the sense in the world now.

"You're a Moroi aren't you?"

"I am Dhampir," she murmured softly.

She looked him in the eyes. "Are you my reincarnation's Guardian?"

He smiled softly at the thought. Things would've been easier if Rose was Moroi if they had a relationship. It wouldn't be frowned upon as much and they wouldn't have to act like they didn't want each other so much.

"No she and I are the Guardians to the Princess Dragomir."

She tilted her head to the side. The look in her eyes unnerved him it was almost like she was trying to pry into his thoughts to see what he was feeling.

"You hide much from her don't you Guardian?"

"I have to in order to protect her."

The woman snorted in an unlady-like fashion and rose. She ran her fingers through her hair.

"My Guardian was much like you."

Even though he knew the man's name he had the urge to ask her.

"What was his name?"

There was a small smile on her face as she was dragged into her memories of him, he was sure. She was quite for awhile and he could just take in her beauty.

"His name was Drake. I was his Russian Rose and he was my English Dragon."

"What happened to him?"

The smile on her face warped to the one that made his heart twist. Rose had given him the same smile when he'd told her he couldn't be with her because of their duty. She looked skyward.

"He died protecting our daughter and myself from Strigoi."

Dimitri flinched at those words. Those were his own fears if he would allow himself the freedom of being with his Roza. Of course there wouldn't be a child between them, but still he wouldn't allow himself to hope for something like that. They wouldn't be accepted.

"Rose said you died together."

Her head bowed as the memories were there. She seemed to collect herself before looking up at him.

"You honestly think I could live after I lost my Lilly and my Drake? I lost them both in one blow and our bond made me follow."

"Bond?"

She smiled at him softly. He didn't like the smile on her face it stirred his protective instincts like nothing else.

"Most don't have the chance to find what Drake and I found. We had our Shadow Kissed bond."

Then she turned her back to him not wanting to look him in the eyes when the next part was said. "The second bond is the bond you, Dimitri Belikov, refuse to acknowledge in yourself. A bond that draws you to Rose Hathaway. We've gotten a second chance and you're wasting it."

"We're…"

Her eyes flashed dangerously as she whipped around to face him.

"Fuck Duty! Fuck Age! Fuck Everyone Else! Soul mate bonds are forever!" she spat in Russian.

"I don't believe in..."

She was fighting tears he could see. It twisted something inside of him seeing the tears on the woman he loved. He had to stamp it down.

"I know and she knows and it kills us Drake!"

"I'm not…"

Tears streamed down her cheeks. Her eyes narrowed as she stomped towards him and yanked their heads together so their mouths touched. She nipped at his lower lip softly. Then she pulled back.

"I love you my dragon," she murmured in Russian.

Her eyes closed and she started to fall. Dimitri caught her easily and lowered her to the ground. He was fighting the panic that was threatening to overtake his emotions.

"Roza!" he called to her. "Come on my Roza, wake up."

She started to come to.

"Don't call me Roza anymore, it just makes things harder. Since you're so determined to pretend that we don't have anything between us."

Rose pushed away from Dimitri and tried to stand on her own. "Don't," she growled. "Rosalind was right Soul Bonds don't come around like this often, but she was mistaken to think you even cared even if he's inside of you."

"Rose…"

"Don't worry Comrade I'm going to be the one that walks away."

She started to walk away and paused. "I guess this is goodbye Comrade."

Rose took off into the trees heading for the academy. She didn't know what she was going to do but whatever it was she needed to do it.
