Here's a new story that I decided to write. I'm having major writers block so I decided to write this story until I could get back on track with "That was the Past, This is the Present." Don't worry. I'll finish it as soon as I can. But anyways. Heres a new story for you with a twist you might enjoy. Who knows. The beginning is pretty basic for now but will get better as time goes on.

Most of this story will be in Rose's POV with the occasional side note.

I have been back from Russia for nearly a month now, and not a day goes by where I don't think about Dimitri. The man who will always have a place in my heart.

I set out to kill him but ended up failing as I tried to stake him. Twice. But I failed both times. Now he's trying to kill me. Everyday, I get creepy letters from him. The one I'm reading now is no different from the rest.

My Dearest Roza,

Why you would even try to kill me, I will never know. But now you are a thret to all. You still can be awakened if you come to me wilingly. If not, I'm afraid I'm going to have to kill you. I hope you make the right decision.

As I can not see you right now, at this very moment, I know your trials are coming up. I wish I could be there to watch you succeed and pass, no doubt that you would. Unfortunately, your skills will not be able to be used once you graduate seeing as you have no choice once you step outside of the academy.

I can't wait to see you again. Awakened or not.

Love,

Dimitri.

My body shook with fear. I have no idea if I was going to survive this time if he finds me. I'm totally screwed.

There was a slight knock at my door that made me jump. I answered the door expecting Adrian or Lissa. But instead, it was Christian.

"Hey there's my favorite sarcastic bitch!" he said.

"Oh thanks Pyro. What do you want?"

"I cam because I need to ask you something."

"Okay... What is it?" I asked.

"Well, as you know, I'm training some of the kids in the middle school how to fight and Tasha is going to help me. But I was wondering... Would it be at all possible for you to come down and help? I know the kids look up to you and would love to learn how you fight."

"Yes. Of course! I'd love to. Especially if I'm going to be next to my favorite fire user!" I laughed.

He laughed. "Thanks Rose. You're the best."

We stayed silent for a few minutes until I decided to question him about Lissa.

"Christian, what's going on between you and Lissa?"

"What do you mean?" he asked, deciding to play dumb.

"You know exactly what I mean."

He just looked at me with his ice blue eyes. "Rose, I don't know. RIght now, I just don't want to be around her."

"You do know that, that was just Avery, right? Lissa felt horrible about it and would never do something like that on her own."

"I know that. But she still did it. Doesn't matter."

"Just promise me you won't make any rash decisions until you talk to her. For me." I gave him my man-eater smile guys just can't get enough of.

He groaned. "Fine. But Rose, you owe me," he said with a serious face. I knew he thought otherwise though. It's Pyro.

We stood there again not speaking. Christian broke the silence this time.

"Rose, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." I couldn't tell him I was scared. I'm not weak.

"You're lying. I can see it in your face despite the mask you wear." Shit.

"It's nothing really. don't worry about it, or me for that matter," I told him. He doesn't need to worry about me. I mean, I'm just a dhampir and guardian. Moroi aren't supposed to worry about us. We're supposed to worry about them.

"It does matter. Rose, I care about you despite my horrible remarks towards you. You don't have to be so strong all the time. Sometimes, you have to let go. Even people like you need to let go despite what you were taught. You don't have to worry about us all the time."

What he said makes sense. But I just can't do it. I can't open up. I can't be vulnerable. That's what Dimitri taught me. Well, he didn't speak the words. But I opened up to him and trusted him. Look where that got me.

"You can tell me anything. I'm not going to tell anyone," he said.

He's being truthful too. I look into his eyes to see if he's lying. But I see nothing.

"I can't. It's not that easy for me. Plus, what is wrong is far worse than you can imagine."

He game me the 'are-you-serious' look. "Rose, my parents turned Strigoi willingly. Nothing can be worse than that.

"This might be just as bad. Or worse." I took a deep breath. "Sit down. We have a lot to talk about."

Christian walked into my room shutting the door behind him. "Okay, spill."

"Do you want me to start from the beginning?" He nodded his head. I took a deep breath.

"When we came back to the academy, as you know Dimitri became my mentor. Everyday, when we would train, I would fall for him even more than the previous day. When we went to the mall, Dimitri and I made a promise to each other if we ever turned Strigoi. I kept that promise by going to kill him. But when I saw him, I hesitated and he knocked me out. Before he was turned, we had a special night in the cabin near the woods. We slept together. He was my first. I will never forget that night. But it was soon ended by the attack."

"When I went to kill him, he captured me and I was held hostage. He used me as his own personal blood whore. He would feed off me everyday. Adrian would try to visit me in my dreams while I was there, and one time when he did, he saw the bite marks on my neck and figured out what happened. When I finally managed to escape, I was going to jump off a bridge, but he caught me and pulled me to safety. I guess when I staked him, I missed his heart. So now he's coming to hunt me down and kill me because I wouldn't be awaked. Almost every day I get letters from him." I reached across my room to open the desk drawer to get out all the letters and handed them to Christian. He started to read them as soon as I did. "I'm so scared."

My whole body was shaking. The awful memory still haunts me. What am I going to do.

I hadn't realized Christian was still there until he broke me from my trance.

"Rose? Rose! Come back. You're not there! You're here, in your room, with me. Please!" Christian was shaking me.

I opened my eyes to find Christian staring at me. Fear written all over his face. That one look made me burst into tears. I needed my Russian God now more than every.

"Shh, shh. It's alright. Nothing is going to happen to you. I won't let anything happen to you," he said trying to calm me down.

"Christian, you can't tell Lissa. I know you don't like to keep secrets. But she can't know this. I'm not ready for that yet. And you can't tell Adrian either. Promise me you won't."

"I promise. Not until you're ready. But why did you tell me?"

Why had I told him? "I trust you."

"Okay," was his reply.

We sat in silence until he had to leave.

"I need to get back to my dorm. It's almost curfew."

"Okay."

He gave me one last hug and said, "Everything is going to be alright Rose. I promise," before walking out the door.

Once he was gone, I laid down on my bed. I was so tired, I couldn't keep my eyes open. But as soon as I fell asleep, the nightmare started.

So yeah. Hope you all liked the first chapter. This one was made up in Math and English. Ha.
