I do not own Vampire Academy, just this idea/plot. I hope you enjoy!

Rose's POV:

I climbed out of bed, and turned to pull the covers back up to the pillow. Glancing at the time, I groaned quietly. I was going to be late, and Lissa was going to be so irritated. I rushed into the shower, quickly washing my hair. I dashed out of the shower, slipping on the floor and almost colliding with a wall. I grabbed my clothes, shoved them on, and pulled a brush through my hair. I grabbed my bag, and rushed down the hall to Lissa's room, arriving just as she opened the door.

"Morning, Rose." Lissa said, smiling brightly.

"Morning, Lissa." I replied, stifling a yawn.

"Woke up late again?" Lissa said, smiling.

"Just a little." I said.

"Well, we haven't missed breakfast yet." Lissa replied.

"So, any other news?" I inquired.

"Well...Andre's coming to visit. And I'm getting a new Guardian!" Lissa replied, smiling brightly.

"A new Guardian? Why?" I asked.

"Damian is going to Court." Lissa replied.

"Do you know your new Guardian's name? And when is Andre coming?" I questioned.

"Andre is coming before human sunset. My new Guardian's name is Dimitri Belikov." Lissa answered.

"Dimitri Belikov? Is he Russian?" I asked. Lissa nodded, and I thought this over for a minute.

"Ready to go the feeders?" I inquired.

"Sure." Lissa replied, and we headed off.

"Who do you want this time?" I asked.

"Hmmm. Probably Brad. What about you?" Lissa inquired.

"Ugh, I wanted Brad. Well, I'll take Jake, then." I replied.

"You had Brad yesterday!" Lissa exclaimed, laughing. We walked into the feeders room, and signed in. After waiting for a few minutes, they called our names and we walked into the area. Lissa walked into the room closest to the entrance, and I took the second room, next to hers.

"Hey, Rose." Jake said, grinning at me.

"Hey, Jake. How are you doing this morning?" I inquired.

"I'm doing much better upon seeing you, Rose." Jake replied.

"Oh, Jake. Always the flirt." I said, winking at him.

"Only with you, Rose." Jake replied.

"Don't let my brother hear you talk like that, Jake. Are you ready?" I asked. Jake nodded, and then tilted his head to the side. I leaned towards him, my fangs already extended. I sank them into his neck, as gently as I could, and heard him sigh as he received a rush of endorphins. A few moments later, I pulled away, and took a napkin to wipe my mouth. Jake blinked slightly, and snapped out of his daze.

"How is your brother these days, anyway? I haven't him seen much of him lately." Jake asked.

"Christian? He's good. He's still...having a few issues with what our parents did." I replied.

"It's hard being an Ozera, isn't it?" Jake inquired.

"It is. But we still have our Aunt Tasha." I replied. Jake nodded, and then I heard Lissa clear her throat outside of the room.

"I'll see you around, Jake." I said, standing up and waving goodbye to him.

"Where to next, Lissa?" I inquired.

"Off to meet Guardian Belikov, and then to find Christian." Lissa replied. I nodded in acquiescence, and we went off to Alberta, the head of the Guardians, office.

"Ah, Miss Vasilia, Miss Rosemarie, right on time. Come on in." Alberta said, gesturing for us to enter her office. We entered, and took seats where she told us to.

"Guardian Belikov will be arriving shortly." Alberta said. Lissa and I looked at each other, wondering what her new Guardian would be like. After a few moments, there came a knock at the door, and Alberta called out, "Come in!" The door opened, and standing there was a Dhampir with shoulder length hair, wearing a duster.

"Ah, Dimitri. Right on time." Alberta said, standing up and smiling.

"Vasilia, Rosemarie, this is Guardian Dimitri Belikov."

"Hello, Guardian Belikov." Lissa said. She glanced over at me, but I was staring at Dimitri. I felt Lissa stomp her foot onto mine, and almost yelped in surprise.

"Hello, Guardian Belikov." I said, glaring at Lissa.

"Hello, Vasilisa. Hello, Rosemarie." Dimitri said.
