Thank you all so much for reviewing. You gave me great ideas. I want to give
a special thanks to my friend Destiney, randomitisSurfer and my beta .Roza.4e
for
helping me with this. I'm sorry it took so long but I was unable to reach
the computer for a suitable period of time this week. I hope to update more
often but probably won't as I'm going to camp and vacation.
I own non of the amazing characters that I am getting the chance to
manipulate.

Then he really looked at me. His eye slightly widened. I hastily changed my
hair into a bun and smiled. "Come on Mase, you might learn something." I
grabbed his hand and we sprinted down to the gym. I carefully opened the
door
to asses the damage. It didn't look good. Dimitri was standing in the
middle
of the gym. He was completely still and turned towards the back doors. Mason
and I carefully slipped in.
When Dimitri pivoted around and finally looked at me, the expression on his
face made me drop Mason's hand. "You're late. Again." He said in a
cold voice. I had kind of been minorly late almost all week. "Umm yeah, not
that late though."
"Late enough". His tone made me cringe. I felt mason move his hands
around my waist.
"It was my fault Guardian Belikov- I kept her out to late last night" I
sent a silent prayer
to mason. I moved my hands to cover his on my waist. Dimitri lowered his
gaze
as he noticed my transgression. "She can't train with you here."
Dimitri
said. Mason was silent. I lifted my head to look at Dimitri with and
incredulous expression.
"You just make me run laps! Mason can run perfectly fine. He likes to go
fast ( hint hint cough cough. Think of that in a different way) I looked over
my shoulder.
"Don't ya Mase?" I joked.
"Yup. The faster the better." I ran across the gym with Mason in tow. As
soon as we got out of earshot we both burst out laughing. "Wow Rose, I like
to go fast huh?" I
smiled and turned to face him.
"You didn't seem to mind." He just laughed and we started to run. After
we had gone 12 laps Dimitri came outside. When he asked how many laps we had
done I told him that we were finished. He was amazed. "You've hardly been
out here for 20 minuets! How could you have done six miles already?" I
grinned. "I told you Guardian Belikov,
Mason is Mr. Fast And Furious. We work well together."
Dimitri was deadly at that moment. "Time to spar." He said. I turned to
mason to tell him that he would have to stay anymore but he insisted that it
would be a great
learning opportunity.
About half way throughout our fight, Mason started cheering
silently when Dimitri wasn't looking. He started making fun of Dimitri and
when I started laughing, Dimitri whipped his had around and caught mason in
the
act.
He stopped and our fight resumed, but it seemed like Dimitri's blows
were getting a lot heavier and harder to avoid. After about two minutes he
made it past my defenses and he made contact. I heard the crack but
couldn't
tell what it was.
I blacked out as my head collided with the wall that had previously been on
the opposite side of the room. I woke up about 30 seconds later with a searing
headache. Mason and Dimitri were sprinting to me from across the gym. I
quickly tried to measure the damage. Crap. It felt like my nose was broken and
I would defiantly need stitches for the gash on my head, I couldn't believe
he hit me across the gym!
Dimitri reached me first and I could see his concerned and crazed expression
on his face. "Rose! Are you okay?"
What did he think? I had just been launched across the gym! He reached to
pick
me up but I cringed away, not ready for him to put his hands on me again. I
looked over him to mason. He was trying to make his way around Dimitri.
"Rose! Oh my gosh! Come here." Mason carefully lifted me without jostling
me too
much. He carefully ran to the gym with Dimitri on his heels. We got to the
clinic and he laid me down onto an available bed. Dr. Olendski came in.
"Oh Rosemarie! What's happened now?"
Mason answered darkly "Guardian Belikov is what happened"
"Uh, Mase, we were training," I pleaded.
"Still Rose" Mason went on, "He shouldn't have been aiming that
high!"
Just then Dimitri walked in, and he looked distraught. "Rose I'm so
sorry!" I looked up at him. He looked so upset.
But, if my plan was going to work, I would have to resist comforting him. I
turned back to Mason, all but shunning Dimitri. He and Dr. Olendski made
sure
that I was totally perfect before issuing me with a clean bill of heath.
All I had to deal with was a broken nose and 47 stitches to my head.
Apparently the
cartilage would have to be reset. After Dimitri heard this his head drooped.
Dang. I knew this would be painful for both of us, but I had to remember to
keep my eyes on the prize. Once this was over Dimitri would realize that we
would have to be together.
