I do not own the characters unless stated otherwise. Richelle Mead owns vampire academy. I just created the plot the current characters as playing. Please feel free to review.

Rose POV

I woke up. I sat up and checked the time. It was 8 pm and I wondered why I'd been allowed to sleep in. Oh wait, it was Saturday and Dimitri was off doing guardian business. Even though it was summer vacation he insisted that I keep up my training. Which wasn't a bad idea really but some day waking up at the butt crack of dusk was not my thing.

Thank god he'd been sent off for guardian things which meant i could sleep in. If my body would let me. I sighed. I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. Personally i'd rather be walking in the morning when the sun was shining. What good was a beach house without a sun? I got out of bed to get dressed and take a run on the beach.

I pulled my hair into a ponytail behind my head and left the house. Lissa was still sleeping and I nodded at the guardian standing near the door for protection. She punched in the security code and I walked onto the deck. The sun was still out some and setting. People were going inside for the night while i was just waking up. I sucked in a deep breath. I could taste the sea salt on my tongue. I jogged down the stairs leading to the sandy beach while putting my ear phones in my ears. I turned on my jogging mix from Spotify. As the fast paced music started I put one foot in front of the other as I jogged from one end of the beach to the other.

The sand squishing against my feet and the spray of the ocean was nice. The last time i'd seen the ocean was when we were on the run in Oregon. We'd made a trip to the ocean one time. I used to spend summers here in northern California with the Dragomir family when they were alive. Mrs. Dragomir always welcomed me into her home during school breaks since my own mother was too busy to take care of me.

The sun was set when i reached the end of the beach and ran into the woods going along it. I jumped over logs and the moss squished under my footfall. My only light was the moonlight and some from a few houses inside the woods. Once I'd gone at least a mile or two I stopped. I couldn't see anymore and being out here in this world….I'd need to get back.

I was turning to leaving when I heard twigs snapping. I froze like a deer in headlights, listening. When the sound doesn't happen again I make my swift exit. I went from a jog to a sprinting marathon. I was almost out of the woods. I could see the end but….

"What the fuck?" I must have run into a cobweb or something because something is on my face and it's nasty. Ew! I stumble around trying to get if off my face. There's goes my guardian training. Damn, Dimitri is going to kick my ass.

Sorry for the first short chapter but that's the end of Rose Pov's for now. Here comes the fun part.
