Rose and Adrian's Bliss: Their Children Part Two
Chapter One
Rosline's POV
I'm walking down the halls of Sanit Vald's not wanting to go to sparring because my boyfriend, Elias Castile, is totally pissing my off. Elias is actually a year younger than me but who cares, he's hot and super sweet, well, not all the time.
So anyway, here I am, minding my own business when suddenly my earbuds are ripped out.
"Hey!" I yell. "That was 'Get Scared featuring Craig Mabbitt'! Do you have any idea how rad that is, let alone epic?"
Stan, a guardian who taught my mom, rolled his eyes.
"I don't care how epic Craig Scared is, you have sparring and you're five minutes late. Get to class."
"It's Get Scared featuring Craig Mabbitt, Stan." I correct him. "Plus, you should care, they are one of the best screamo bands out there. Craig is not only the former front-man for Bless the Fall and current front-man for Escape the Fate, he has the best voice and he's uber-hot."
"Oh?" Stan snorted. "If he's so great why is the former-front man?"
"Because they're losers." I snort back. "BTF is still tagging along on tours while Craig and ETF headline their own tours. Come on Stan, everyone should know that and stop listening to the gibberish called rap."
Shaking his head he says, "You are way too much like Rose. Capable of driving a person insane in thirty seconds."
I don't bother replying because everyone says I'm like her.
"What are you doing still standing here?" Stan scolds me. "Get to class Rosline."
"Alright, but if someone ends up in the infirmary because you sent me to class despite my mood, I am not held accountable." I walk away singing the song he so rudely interrupted.
Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts
My heart is breaking, I don't wanna be loved
You pollute the room with a filthy tounge
Watch me choke so I can throw up...
I showed up to class and my teacher just rolls his eyes and scribbles something on his clipboard while I sit down.
"As I was saying, before Miss Ivashkov decided to grace us with her presance," Guardian David Wells says while I roll my own eyes. He's only two years older than us and acts like a prude. "We have another guardian who will join me in training you, Shawn Grey. You will introduce yourselves to him."
I look up and sure enough, that's my uncle Shawn in his black guardian best.
"Hey, uncle Shawn," I call not bothering to follow the instructions exactly.
"Hello Rosline," he smiles.
Everyone, including David, stares at us.
"Cheese, just because I call him 'uncle' doesn't mean we're related by blood." I sigh to the class. "So can we get to work David, 'cause I'm bored."
David glares at me while Shawn chuckles.
Three hours later I'm in line for lunch, stomach growling while the line moves in snail pase. A warm, muscled arm wraps around my waist, I look up at Elias' eyes.
"Ros," his soft, clam voice says my name. "Where have you been? I haven't had a chance to talk to you yet."
"You should have thought about that before," I sneer. "You know? When you let Staci Badica put her moves on you."
"Ros," Elias sighs. "You know I don't care about other girls. Just you. It's always been you."
"Oh, yeah? Then why didn't you stop her?"
"She's always like that," he says, trying to reason with me. I do know Staci likes to flirt with anyone who is male, but still. "As for as I'm concerned, she can batt her eyelashes and twirl her hair all she wants. I would never give into her, or care."
"Still you couldn't say, 'hey, I have a girlfriend, leave me alone'. Is that so hard?"
"I'm sorry," he smiles. "Next time someone does that I'll tell them. Promise."
"Fine," I huff.
"Good," Elias moves in to plant a kiss on my temple, his lips are warm and full aganist my hot skin, and whispers, "I love you."
"I love you, too," I whisper back.
Elias and I have been together for a less than a year and we've recently started to say 'I love you'. We grew up together at court where his father, Eddie Castile, is a guardian to my aunt Lissa. Eddie is a close friend of both my mom and aunt, they all attended this academy together. To be honest Eddie is like an uncle so it was a little awkward when Elias and I started to develop feelings for one another. Still the whole family is happy that I'm not with some jerk off Moroi and that we have a sort of boy/girl next door going on.
We went through the line and sat down where my little sister, Alexis or Alex, is sitting with aunt Lissa's daughter Christy, she's the only Moroi that we regularly assisciate with. Not that I turn my nose up at Moroi, they do that to me and my sister. Also it doesn't help that they call our mother a bloodwhore just because she was able to marry an Ivashkov. Not just any Ivashkov but Adrian Ivashkov, the queen's favorite. Our dad has a horrible reputation that everyone believes is true. Honestly, dad is the sweetest and most loving dad there is. He's a saint compared to other Moroi who sleep with dhampires than run when they get preganat.
Anyway, when people call our mother a bloodwhore Alexis and I go all ninja-warrior on them. When we're done they regret what they said and aplogize before we're sent to the office. Naturally, Moroi tend to avoid us.
"Rosline, we're leaving after lunch," Alexis informs me. "Dad called, Tatiana wants us back at court for something."
"He didn't say why?"
"Nope," she answered while trying to fix her razor cut bangs. Alexis has really cool scene hair, layers are short around her face but under is long. She keeps her natural hair color, which is dad's brown color , but likes to put in colored exentions. "He didn't sound all that happy about it."
"Whose going with us?"
"Guardians only. Tatiana said only the two of us," Alexis sighed.
I joined her sigh and turned to Elias, he gave a smile and a peck on the lips.
The rest of our group showed up later. Chance, Owen, Gabriella, and Sarah, all dhampirs.
"We just heard there's gonna be two transfers tomorrow!" Gabriella gushed.
"Really?" Alex asked.
"Yeah, two guys," Gabby said. "Heard they were dhampirs, seniors too."
"Weird," I said. "Two novices transfering just before graduation."
Gabby just shrugs.
After I take a bite of pizza Guardian Wells walks up to our table.
"Alexis, Rosline," he says. "The jet is ready. We're leaving in ten minutes, I suggest you go pack."
"Cheese," Alexis and I say together.
"I haven't finished eating, you want me to starve to death?" I cry.
Wells just rolls his eyes and says, "After you get on board you can have all the peanuts you want."
"Jerk," I mutter to his retreating figure. "We'll I gotta go."
"Aww," Elias makes a puppy face at me. "You're always ditching me."
"Hey, take it up with the queen," I smile and give him a long kiss until everyone grosses out. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"See ya," he says and gives me another kiss before I walk away.
Alexis and I hurry to our dorm.
In my room I change into a black 'I love Ken' shirt, white skinny jeans, checkard Vans, and my black Barbie hoodie. (Might as well go with the theme.)
I pack a small suitcase and threw jewelry into my mesanger bag along with my makeup,hair products and my travel size hir straightener. When I ran out my door Alexis was coming out of hers dressed in a aqua blue shirt that says, 'I keep hitting delete but you're still here'. She paired it with black skinny jeans, aqua Vans, a white loose hoodie and beanie.
We jogged to the runway and were seated on the plane in three minutes. When we were allowed out of our seats we continued to do our makeup and hair. My hair is similar to Alexis. I have dark brown, almost black hair, also cut scene style, choppy short layers on the top of my head and long underneath. I had blonde streaks put in under my bangs and in the longest part of hair that so I can put in wash-out color in. Today, those streaks are dark-almost hot pink. Lex adds some aqua snap-in colored extensions, touches up her makeup and hair.
Two hours later we and our guardians, Alberta, David and our uncle Shawn, touch down at court.
One of the Tatiana's guardians is waiting for us as soon as we step off the jet.
"I am Guardian Turov," says tall dark and handsom. "Her majasty sent me to escort you to her rooms, follow me."
As we drag our bags he notices and tells a passing guardian to take our luggage to our parents home. The guardian nods and reaches for our suitcases. We thank him before he can walk away and he looks surprised, he must be new, but nods. Figures, everyone thinks we're as stuck up as Moroi just because we're Ivashkovs.
Finally, after running across the court, Alexis and I step into the queens parlor while the school guardians wait outside.
"Mom, Dad!" Alexis and I call and huge our parents.
Dad hold on a bit longer and kisses our forheads. Weird, like he's afraid of losing us. When he finally releases me I notice another group on the other side of the room watching us.
The two men are obviously Moroi, royal too. There's a female guardian and two guys, dhampirs around our age. I notice the men are sort of leering, the women is assesing us and the guys are, well checking us out.
The guy who looks older looks just over six feet tall, he's muscled but sort of wiry not buff. He's wearing a tight white shirt, blue skinny jeans with holes in the knees and black chucks. His hair black and cut in a simple emo swoop across his forehead and shorter at the back o his head. His skin is almost as pale as Moroi, weird because dhampirs usually have tan skin. His mouth is sorta wide with thin lips that has a black ring in the right coner. There is nothing noticable about his nose and the one eye, not hidden behind his hair, is pure black.
The younger looking one is a tiny bit shorter than the other and all black. His beanie, hoodie, fingerless gloves, skinny jeans and Vans are all black. His hair is bleached white color, bangs and other peices of hair, framing his face, and a gold rosary necklace are the only color on him. His skin is also pale, his nose a little too pronounced hold a ring at the center, his eyebrows are black, his eyes are a blue-grey color and his lips. (sigh) His lips are the perfect shape, the lower lips is more plump than the top, but the top has a great cupids-bow. No boy should ever have lips like that. Pink and lushishly inviting you to taste it.
I'm drawn out of my trance when a door opens and the queen walks in. Everyone bows to her as she takes her seat on raised throne.
"Rosline, Alexis," Tatiana purrs. "My dear, great neices. Move forward."
We take five steps toward her and stop.
"I would like you to meet, Sebastian," the taller of the two guys walked forward. "And Cameron Lefever."
We four just looked at one another. Until Tatiana spoke again.
"Sebastian, Cameron, this is Rosline Ivashkov and Alexis Ivashkov."
The two guys stepped to us then, they respectfully took our shook our hands.
"Now," Tatiana's voice demanded attention. "You, Rosline and Alexis, have taken the hands of your future husbands."
"What the-" My voice was cut off by a hand covering my mouth.
I turn and it's my dad.
"Don't talk like that here," he ordered and released me.
I join Alexis in starring back and forth between the guys and Tatiana.
"Auntie," Alexis' clear, soft voice cuts the silance. "What are you talking about?"
Tatiana just looks at us with her queen mask and says, "You will be marrying Cameron, Alexis. Rosline you will marry Sebastine. This contract was made when you were born."
I turn to glare at my parents. Cheese, selling their own daughters.
"Spend the day getting to know one another." Tatiana ordered. "The four of you will return to Saint Valdimir's together and after you graduate you will be married."
"Your majasity," I say. "May we speack with you privately?"
"Of course," Tatiana smiled. "Albert, I would like our familes to have dinner tonight. This calls for a celebration. Seven o'clock at my nephew's home."
The Moroi named Albert bowed to Tatiana then his family walked out.
When the door shut I turned on everyone.
"What in the cheese is going on here?" I hissed.
"We didn't know about it until recently," my mom says hesitantly.
"How recently?" Alexis asked.
"Last month," dad answered this time. "We never knew an agreement was made long ago."
"I did everything," our aunts voice intervined.
"Why?" I asked, trying not to hiss at her, she is the queen after all.
"To protect everyone," Tatiana sighed. "Guardians are angry that their treaed like second class citizens, their pay isn't a whole lot and they don't like that non-royal Moroi don't get guardians. If I had you both married to dhampirs with my blessing maybe they'll know that I'm trying. Moroi don't except change very much but I'm hoping to fix that but I need to pacify the guardians first."
"So you sold us to shut up the Guardian Concil?"
"Rosline," my dad warned.
"I had to come up with a solution. I made the decison as the queen not as your aunt." Tatiana's voice was firm. No arguing, not this time.
"There is nothing we can do is there?" I asked.
"No," Tatiana gave us a sad smile. "I do believe you will like the boys though. I know your're dating Guardian Castile's son and I'm sorry but I need you to do this."
"I know," I sighed. "I understand the reason why, I just wish I didn't have to do this."
"I wish that too," Tatiana took mine and Alexis' hands. "can you forgive me."
"Of course," we said in unison.
"Good," Tatiana huged us. "Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?"
I smiled then looked at Lex. We new what to ask for.
"Now that you mention it," Lex said.
"We would like to go to a concert," I added.
"Tomorrow," finished.
Our parents and Tatiana just stared at us.
"Hey," I snapped. "You are asking us to marry complete strangers. Why can't we go to one concert?"
"We'll take them with us, if we have to," Alexis put in.
"Yes, and I won't be mean to them," I promised and my dad raised an eyebrow. "What? Did you think I was going to be oh so sweet to them?"
My dad only chuckled.
"It's a huge secerity risk," mom chimed in.
"What are we, losers?" I asked her. We were only her daughters, Children of Hathaway can kick butt.
"Alright," Tatiana finally said. "You take guardians and I need to know the where and time."
"No problem," I said in a cheery voice. I reached into my bag and pulled out the printout I did yesterday.
Tatiana read the page then sighed. "Well, I'll have someone buy ten tickets online."
"Ten?" Alexis asked, confused.
"Two for you, two for Sebastine and Cmaeron, six for guardians." Tatiana stated.
"It'll probably be better if you have two that arein their late twenties and the rest male and female that are young. So they can blend in." I told her.
Tatiana only raised her eyebrow.
"They should wear their everyday clothes, too." Alexis added, "Band shirts and such. we'll just look like a regular human group."
"Alright but you have to put in a real effort to Sebastian and Cameron." Tatiana ordered.
"You drive a hard bargin." I nodded.
"Go find them and get to know them and behave at dinner." Our last order.
"Alright already," Alexis said. "We're going."
"Thank you, auntie," I call back and step out of the room.
In the hall, talking quietly are Sebastain and Cameron. Taking a breath we walk over to them.
"So..what kind of music do you like?" I ask them.
Please let me know what you think of part two.
