Hey! This is my first fan fiction story but with a few twists

Firstly, Lissa didn't become Queen, instead Ariana Szelsky did.

Second, Jill isn't Lissa's half-sister. No one ever found out in this story…..well not until later that is XD

Thirdly, Rose and Lissa didn't lose the bond.

And last but not least I do not own VA

Chapter 1- new beginnings and new problems

I sat up in my bed and yawned. I felt weak and terrible. Days have gone by in which Ariana had become Queen. And for some reason life seemed way too normal. I wondered if this was how it was going to be all the time. If it was then I knew I was going to go mentally insane of lack of action in my life.

I looked to right side of the bed and sighed. He wasn't here…..Dimitri….. He was most likely talking to Christian, Lissa, Eddie, Mia and Adrian. They were going to be new teachers at St. Vald's. As you guessed Christian and Mia are starting up a new program where only the element fire and water will train to defend themselves. And also Lissa and Adrian are going to be able to teach their element. Ariana gave the ok because she knew she could trust them.

So until she found those other for the elements earth and air, well, let's just say they wouldn't be learning how to defend themselves anytime soon. And oh yeah, a new element or well two new elements, were recently discovered.

These elements make up numbers six and seven. They are Death which is the opposite of Spirit. Just like fire is the opposite of water. And then there is the seventh elements, also the weirdest. Its power is to use lightening and have mega-ultra compulsion.

I have talked to Adrian, yes you heard me right, Adrian, and we haven't been able to recognize lightening's and super-ultra compulsions opposite.

I smiled slightly and got out of bed. Taking a quick shower and brushing my teeth I started to get dressed into a pair of dark jeans and a Hollister navy blue top leaving my hair down just the way I liked it.

I exited my room to find Adrian and Mia in deep conversation. "So you're going to be teaching to then huh?" she asked. He nodded his head.

"I think I have gotten better in maturity and I think it is time to settle down and do something with my life rather than waste it." She looked dumbfound but smiled.

"It's great that you think that and are now doing something good with your life." At that moment Eddie came in and plopped next to Mia.

"Hey sis." He commented before petting her head.

"Hey bro." she responded. I couldn't help but stare at this given intake of words. I felt as I should get with my own group and walked away before I said anything.

"Rose!" I picked my head up as I went into the kitchen. Lissa and Christian were making soup. Why? I had no idea.

"Hey, Lissa, why are you making soup? It's early in the morning. I think cereal is a better option even if I prefer my donuts." I told sitting down at the kitchen table still facing her.

She chuckled. "Only you would think it's early in the morning Rose." A new voice said. I turned around to see Christian smirking while walking over to Lissa.

"Well Sparky if I do say so myself," I stated "Which I most profoundly am, then I know that of what you speak of is nonsense. And my dhampir ears cannot take it any longer." I sighed. "Do you guys know were my Russian Jailor is?" I asked them. Christian shook his head and Lissa gave me a quizzical look but then shook her head.

"He's with Hans talking about his assignments." Eddie said stepping into the room. I nodded.

"Thanks Eddie." He gave me a knowing smile before starting a conversation up with Lissa about spirit.

I was just about to walk out of the door to the guest housing at court, when I bumped into rock hard stone. "Watch where you're going!" I yelled at the person who made me fall. He chuckled a little helping me up.

"Sorry about that I'm kind of in a rush." He stated. Finally I looked up. I was met with a pair of light blue eyes. Lighter than Christian yes, defiantly, and had dirty blonde hair. He was like any lanky moroi but looked well built like Christian and Adrian were.

Why had I felt his body be so rock hard? A little voice in the back of my head asked. Ask why it was like that! The voice demanded. And so I complied.

"Um….why did your chest feel so rock hard?" I asked. It was the best I could come up with. In reality he was sort of like Adrian and Christian, maybe a mixture of both.

Blue eyes- Christian

Facial feature- Adrian

Hair- both

"I will not answer unless I know your name and back-round." he demanded

"Rose Hathaway." He paled "My mother is Janine Hathaway and my father is Ibraham Mazur. And I think you can figure out my back-round from that" he paled even more this time that I thought that I looked dead white.

"I'm Mason Szelsky. Ariana's son." We shook hands. Mason. It reminded me over Spokane and how my best friend Mason Ashford had died trying to protect me. I nudge that thought away as I didn't want to break down in front of this somewhat stranger.

"You know I don't have all day for you to give me my answer Mason." I said slightly hesitating at his name.

"Oh, yeah sorry about that. You see my element is earth and actually pretty good at it. So when you rammed into me-" I cut him off.

"I didn't ram into you. As you said before you were in a rush. So that makes it not my fault." He cracked a smile as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Anyway," he said in a sort of sing-song voice. When I rammed into 'you', I didn't want to get hurt so I put up a protective shield that made my body feel like the ground that way I wouldn't get affected by the impact."

"That's smart. So are you good at your element?" I asked. I wanted to know if maybe he could join us when we went back to St. Vald's.

"As far as I know I'm the best at It." Instincts took over and I smack him behind the head.

"Owww." He complained. "What was that for?"

"You were being too full over yourself and I couldn't take it." I told him giving him an innocent smile. I growled frustrated.

"Well sorry." He spat.

"So can I ask you something?" I asked. He nodded.

"Would it be too much to ask you if, well since you're so good at your element and all that you come to St. Vald's and teach your element for defense instead of not using any good reason for it." He registered what I had just said.

"ok."

"Ok?" I resaid.

"Yes. I will go with you there to that school to teach. Is that better for your understanding?" he asked. I nodded.

"Well since you answered like that you can go to your mother and tell her where you're going. We are leaving tonight at 8 am sharp. Do not be late. Oh and how old are you?" I asked before walking away

"I'm twenty why?" I shrugged

"I don't want Adrian to drink while going there. He's been sober for about almost a month. And I plan to keep it that way." I told him in a deadly tone. He complied and nodded.

"Ivashkov right?"

"Yup"

"Who else is going?" he asked

"Adrian Ivashkov, Vasilissa Dragomir, Christian Ozera, Mia Rinaldi, Eddie Castile, Dimitri Belikov, and I, Rosemarie Hathaway." I said counting off the names with my fingers.

"So the whole badass group is going?" I smirked

"Is that what we are referred to as now? The badass group." He shrugged. "I like it." I said excitedly. "And where were you headed off to anyway?" I asked

"To meet you guys and ask if I could go." I cracked a smile.

"Of course you were going there." I inferred. "Well let's go back up to introduce you to everyone."

"Sounds good." We went up the way I came and opened the door. No one was there.

"Huh I guess they all went to back. Sorry about that Mason." He shrugged.

"No big deal." He took a look at his watch. "It's five anyway, I should go pack. Meet you at the airstrip at eight."

"Ok see you later." I closed the door to my apartment and sighed. I sat down on the couch for who knows how long.

"Why the long face?" a voice said from behind me. I didn't need to turn to know who it was.

"I just invited someone else to come on and teach with us at St. Vald's. And I know I made the right choice." I heard muffling of footsteps before he came to sit next to me on the couch. His shoulder length hair was still the same and silky as usual. His eyes were those same chocolate brown ones that I seemed to get lost in.

"I have to ask you something." He whispered, I didn't really pay attention. I went for a kiss but was quickly rejected. "No first I want to ask you."

I pouted and folded my arms across his chest. "You are no fun anymore comrade." He chuckled.

"Well I already packed all your things to go to St. Vald's so I think that at least makes me awesome." He stated.

"I say who's awesome in this house comrade and you aren't awesome…." I paused, waiting for his reaction. He had his guardian mask on and looked a little pale. "…I think your amazing!" I said emphasizing the 'amazing' part.

"Thanks Roza." He spoke into my hair as we hugged.

"Now what did you want to ask me?" I encouraged him to go on with what he had wanted to ask me. Instead he pulled me up from the couch and took a deep breath.

He then did something thought in a million years would happen. He got down on one knee and opened a velvet black box. My breath hitched. "Roza, my Roza. From the day I caught you in Portland I knew you were trouble. You seemed so determined to be Lissa's guardian that you would put your life on the line for her even if you were at a weak state. You showed how much you care for the people you love and what risks you would go and take to save them. And that is why I fell in love with you. At school you seemed to be the most dedicated novice I have ever seen and I knew from just watching you that I could never live without you. So today I ask you if you could do me the honor and be my wife."

There was a long pause as I registered what had just happened. Dimitri had just asked me to marry him? I felt a little light headed but shook the feeling off. "Yes." I said in a whisper. "Yes." I said louder. He let out a breath that he'd been holding and slipped the ring on. As he twirled me around in a hug and squealed for joy, we were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" I asked annoyed that someone ruined the moment.

"Mason now open the door." He demanded.

"Make me!" I snarled at the unopened door. Dimitri looked at me and the door to see if he could put a face on the person I was talking to but seemed as though he couldn't.

He sighed. "Don't make me knock the door down just because you're being arrogant Hathaway."

"Fine." I muttered. I walked over and opened the door to reveal Mason and all his personal belongings. "Come in." I gestured with my hand as if I was some lone house wife. He laughed somewhat and entered.

"Dimitri this is Mason Szelsky, Mason this is Dimitri Belikov." I said using my hands to introduce them. "Now let's go. I cannot wait to get back to school and annoy the crap out of Stan again." I chuckled as I went to go retrieve my things from my room.

Well tell me what you think!
