I's be back! Yep my sister is being nice! Okay so instead of doing my Algebra and English homework I'm doing this so be happy. Oh almost forgot! The SAINTS WON! Oh yeah! Also today I took this mandatory standardized writing test from hell called the FCAT Writing test so after spending my whole first period of school writing I camehome and wrote some more. That my friends is dedicaton.

I awoke to a silky voice I would know anywhere. It sounded like honey as my name dripped from his mouth. "Roza. Roza, sweetheart come on its time to get up."

"Aw can't I have five more minutes mom." I joked.

"No you cannot. You will get yourself out of that bed this instant." I knew that voice. Shit!

Instantly I was up looking into the murderous eyes of a certain red haired, short Dhampir whose name shall not be mentioned but had close relational ties to me.

"Uh, hi mom. What's up."

"Well I came to check on my only daughter who recently got injured in a Strigoi attack but once I got here only you and him were left." She said pointing an accusing finger at Dimitri distaste dripping off her words when she said 'him'.

"Okay, so hi. Now what's got you so upset. Did Dimitri try and get you to read one of his western novels?" I said trying to lighten the mood forcing a laugh. I looked over at Dimitri shooting him glances to laugh too. He only shook his head in a warning motion telling me now was not the time.

"This is not a laughing matter Rosemarie." she said evenly though you could her the strain in her voice from anger.

"Okay then what kind of matter is this because I don't even know what's going on." Well at least I hope I don't, I thought eternally. I mean she couldn't knoiw could she. Noo! No, that's impossible how would she know.

Then I got my answer.

"I walked into the room to check on you and he was sitting on the bed beside you smiling. I assumed you were awake because he started laughing. I couldn't understand what was being said because I was outside the door. I walked in hoping to see you awake only to find you talking in your sleep."

"Mhhm."

"Rosemarie do you have any idea what you said."

"Not really, seeing as I was asleep. No why do you ask?" I had a suspicion I already knew but I needed her to confirm it.

"You said that you loved him. You distinctly said that you loved Dimitri. Now please correct me if I'm wrong but to my understanding, you only know one Dimitri. This one" she said pointing at him. "Your mentor."

"Janine do I really need to be present for this." He said.

"Yes, don't think you're out of the clear Belikov I distinctly remember you saying 'I love you too, Roza.' I'm not done with you yet so sit." she commanded. He sat in the plastic chair by where he had been standing. "Now Rose tell me. Is it true. Do you love him?"

I thought for a moment. I couldn't deny it any longer. She had already heard my say it. What could I do; lie to her face, that was actually a tempting offer right about now. "Yes" I finally said as I began it became the most simplest things possible for me to say. "Yes, I love Dimitri. I love him with all my heart and every bit of my very being" I didn't even look at my mother I looked at Dimitri. He smiled widely. I couldn't fight it anymore neither of us could.

I turned my attention back to my mother and could see the fire raging in her eyes but she fought to keep her guardian mask. "Very well" she said and swept from the room.

After a moment of silence I finally said "That was too easy."

Dimitri looked up at me and nodded. "Yes it was."

"I really meant it. I really do love you." I said just above a whisper to were I knew only he could hear me.

He walked across the room to where I sat on my hospital bed. "I know. I love you too my Roza." he said sitting on the bed with me wrapping his arms around my waist. I leaned into his touch resting my head on his shoulder. He kissed the top of my head and rested his chin in my hair. I exhaled loudly content for the moment.

Then the door bursted open and we seperated quickly. In walked my mother flanked by Alberta and Kirova.

"Janine calm down, please." said Alberta.

"I'll calm down when you deal with these two."

"What seems to be so important Guardian Hathaway that you believe it seemed fit to interrupt me while I was in the middle of calling parents informing them of their children's saftey." Kirova said boredly rubbing her tempels. Lilac circles shadowed her eyes. These recent attacks had really worn her out.

"Well speaking of student safety I believe they are supposed to be protected from statutory rape especially if they are minors and the other is a member of the staff." Oh no!

"And what would you be implying Guardian Hathaway" Alberta said."... You couldn't possibly mean" she looked toward me then Dimitri."... could you?"

"Oh but I do Guardian Petrov. I have completely been lead to believe that my daughter, Rosemarie, is having an illegal relationship with her mentor, Dimitri."

"Yes Guardian Hathaway but you must see our reasoning when we say that is completely impossible." said Kirova.

"You must also see my reasoning when I say there's something going on with them. Look back in your memory and think about the way these two act around each other."

"Janine I'm sorry but this idea is completely preposterous. What exactly would make you come to this conclusion?" Kirova questioned.

"Well if you came in on what I did this morning you would understand."

"Exscuse mee if I must ask but what exactly did you see?"

"I came to check on my daughter talking in her sleep saying 'I love you Dimitri'. It doesn't get any more blunt than that." my mother was really starting to get on my nerves. Right when things were starting to go good she had to go and mess it up for me.

"Well apologize me if I must say things said in dreams cannot be considered the most reliable of facts."

"The fact still stands that he was fully awake and said he loved her too and once I confronted them Rose admitted to her feelings."

"Is this true Rose?" Kirova turned to mee questioningly.

"I can't really say I know what I said in my sleep except if you're speaking of when my mother confronted my then yes. Yes I assume it is all true." I said in a bored tone yet worried about what would happen.

Then I must ask the both of you a series of questions that you must answer honestly."

She asked all the expected questions 'How long had it been going on?' 'Who knew?' Things of that nature then my mother with her big mouth had to jump in.

"Did you sleep with him?" she questioned/yelled.

"Guardian Hathaway I must ask you to refrain ffrom such outburst but Rose we need you to answer that question." she said looking at me sympathetically.

I looked at Dimitri I saw saddness in his eyes and realization flashed that once i told them there would be no hope for us. He met my eyes and through them I could see him saying 'Tell them. Tell them everything.' but I couldn't that would mean Dimitri losing his job and i couldn't bare to be responsible for that so I did the only thing I could.

I lied.

"No." As I said it I swear I could hear my heart breaking from me lying about the most important fact.

Appearantly they didn't believe me and I couldn't blame them so they turned to Dimitri expectantly. He of course had an issue with lying to anyone he was the 'honest one'. I expected it and shouldn't have been surprised but his complete honest still bothered me. How could someone be honest.

"Yes," he said bowing his head in shame. Not of us but his loss of control around me. He had once told me that like me he was always fighting for control.

Instantly she jumped at him. I didn't even see her at first because one minute she was beside Alberta, who I might add had been awfully quiet, then she was on top of Dimitri faster than the Strigoi's attack from yesterday. She was trying to beat the living day-lights out of him. I could hear her saying something but only caught a few phrases like 'How dare you touch her' and 'Jackass' and other such terms.

We all froze during my mothers attack but then I realized what was happening Alberta did at the same time because we both were trying to pull her off of him. (I did I forget to mention Lissa healed my ankle.) Finally we pulled her away. She had a bloodthirsty glint to her eyes.

"Janine I believe you should step outside for a while. Alberta please walk her out then return here." Kirova ordered.

"Of course." she said and peacefully escorted her out of the imfirmary.

As they left an awkward silence enveloped us. I twiddled with my fingers, Dimitri was holding a bag of ice that he had got from the mini-fridge in the corner of the room to one of his eyes. Kirova just stood there with a blank expression on her face.

Alberta returned quickly, Thank God.

"So the problem at hand is you two have been in this 'secret affair' for about six months since you returned Rose to the school in October and it is now March. My question to you Alberta is how long have you known." Kirova asked. Unexpected.

"Exscuse my headmistress but I don't know what you mean."

"They told us only Victor Dashkov and Lord Ishakov know but its clear to me you have known for quite sometime due to your reactions."

"I assure you I had no idea." Alberta denied again.

"Up until..." Kirova pestered.

"Up until... until the day of Mason Ashford death. I wasn't completely sure of my suspicions until Victor Dashkov's trial."Really Uunexpected.

"I see and what do you think about their relationship."

"I believe that as guardians we very rarely met someone we can love very least soul mate and I believe these two share the purest of love. I truely believe that they may very well be soul mates and that it would be a waste to seperate them. The school year is almost over and as of today Rose is officially an adult. I believe they should be able to continue their relationship as long as they keep it under wraps til graduation. I assure you they really do love each other and have thought everything through. As you know Guardian Belikov recently resigned his post as the princess' guardian and I'm sure you can figure out why" she declared. Really, really, unexpected.

"Okay, very well. This may continue under certain circumstances."

"Thank you very much Headmisteress you are very kind." Dimitri said. Always formal.

"I know Belikov."

Then every rule they could come up with to keep us a secret came out. Basically in the end I was put on house-arrest, again, and my traing sessions with Dimitri would be monitored by Alberta to make sure we didn't do anything 'inappropriate'. Whatever, it's as if they don't trust me. Oh wait, they don't I am considered the school slut after all. Even though I didn't lose my virginity until two nights ago and my angelic sent-accidentally-straight-from-heaven-to-this-hell-hole best friend lost hers about three years ago and has been 'doing it' with Christian in the church attic for months...

My mind babble was cut short by a russian laced accent calling my name once again. "Roza, Roza."

"Huh, what, oh sorry I guess I zoned out there"

"I was just telling you that you are free to go." Dr. O said standing off to the side of me. Apparently she had walked in when Alberta and Kirova left.

"Oh well thanks Doc." I said heading toward the door. "Don't forget to keep my bed open you know I'll be back in a while."

"Of course Rosemarie." she said shaking her head. Hey I know what you're thinking, but sometimes I spent so much time in here it actually seemed like I needed my own personally reserved room here.

I walked from the infirmary with Dimitri as my shadow as I headed to Lissa's dorm. It was time to tell her.

What'd you think??? I think I need a little work but hey I'm trying. Okay in English we just started our poetry section so if my writing starts sounding like poems please don't get mad it's just that English is my second to last class of the day and sometimes I'm still in the mind set of how I was writing in that class. I'll try to avoid writing any cuz frankly I'm not that good at it. I leave the poetry to CJ(my bfitwww (3 u dude)) :) Oh well! Oh and my team won the Super Bowl! Go Saints! In your face Jhonoi! Oh wait sorry this isn't MySpace. Woops oh well, moving on! I have guy problems :( So yeah, not much else to say.

Kayla ;)

Peace, Love & Vampires
