I don't own Vampire Academy Richelle Mead does. Important: Rose and Jane Hathaway don't have a very good relationship at this point in the story. Yay! Another chapter! Sorry it's so short. I'm not good at writing long chapters. But I promise that later in the story that the chapters will get longer.

Just as my tongue entered his mouth, I heard a, "WHAT THE HECK!"behind me. We broke apart and looked at who had spoken. It was Janine Hathaway, a.k.a. my mother!

Chapter Two

Crap! That word pretty much summed up what Dimitri and I were feeling at that moment.

"Do either one of you want to tell me what the hell is going on right now," said a very pissed Jane Hathaway as she walked towards us.

Dimitri let go of me, and I jumped down. We just stood there. Neither one of us knew what to say,

"You are her mentor, so why was your tongue in my daughter's mouth?" Yup, she was definitely pissed. Just then I felt anger bubble up inside of me, and I knew it was the darkness. I didn't stop it. I knew I would need the extra energy if I was going to fight my mom.

It kept building, until finally it exploded. "Who are you to judge me, and get mad at my actions? You haven't been in my life while I was growing up, so why should you be in my life right now?" As I was yelling at her, I tried to take an angry step toward her, but I found I couldn't. Dimitri had me by the waist and was trying to calm me down.

"Rose," he said, warning in his voice. "Don't let the darkness get a hold of you," And with the soothing tone of his voice whispering in my ear, and the feeling of his arm around my waist, the darkness vanished from me. I looked at him gratefully. I didn't want to make things worse with my mom, just because of the darkness. My mom, seeing the exchange between us, somehow grew angrier. Dimitri, seeing this, quickly released my waist.

Just then we saw someone else enter the gym. It was Alberta. "What is going on here? I heard shouting. Is everything all right?" Great, isn't this a perfect day for me. Now, not only will my mom know about Dimitri and me, but so will Alberta. Oh well, they would have known after graduation. We just hopefully wouldn't have gotten into trouble after graduation, seeing as he wouldn't have been my mentor any longer after graduation. But, maybe we wouldn't get into trouble now. Unfortunately, that maybe was only about 1 percent. I just hope the trouble wouldn't be so bad that they took Dimitri away from me. The thought of Dimitri leaving, whether on purpose or if someone made him, made me almost lose control of my emotions. Again. The pain and worry of that happened caused me to take a sharp intake of breath. Dimitri, hearing this, looked at me with worry. But, now wasn't the time for my out-of-control girl emotions. So I locked my emotions into a tightly closed, imaginary box in my head, and threw away the key. I would take out those emotions and deal with them later. Whether I would deal with that alone, or with Dimitri would depend on what happened in the next few hours.

A few minutes passed, then, of course, it was my mother who answered Alberta's question. "What is going on here? I'll tell you what's going on here. I just walked in here to have a conversation with my daughter, and can you guess what I saw? I'll tell you what I saw. Dimitri had his tongue in my daughter's mouth, and he couldn't keep his hands off her. He, along with his hands, were all over her." Her voice was slightly hysteric. What the heck was her problem?

I couldn't help but get a little mad at that. "It wasn't just him mom. I was kissing him too. We were holding each other." I admit my voice was a little cold, but at least I didn't yell at her. So all in all, I'd say I said that pretty calmly and that I was a teeny tiny bit proud of myself. It helped that even though Dimitri wasn't touching me, he was so close that I could feel his heat rolling off waves from his body. I pretty sure that that was the only thing that helped me not to yell.

"What?" exclaimed Alberta, her eyes wide. "Dimitri, let me get this straight. You were kissing Rose?" I really didn't want to talk about Dimitri and my relationship to the head guardian and the number-one/pretty-close-to-being-number-guardian-in-the-world right now, but we had to. Hey, don't judge me. Would you?

"Alberta, whatever you are thinking right now, I can assure that it's not like that. And I have a pretty good idea about what you are thinking." Dimitri said calmly. His voice was a little wry at the end.

"I think we should talk about this in the headmistress' office." Alberta's mask was starting to slip. I could see that she didn't know how to handle all of this. Crap! I really didn't want to go to Kirova's office. But we would be in more trouble if we refused to go, so we followed my mom and Alberta to decide Dimitri's and my fate.
