Hours had passed and i was starting to suspect that nobody else would be arriving to Lissa's Christmas Special. I was a bit dissapointed in not being able to throw one of those huge Christmas parties were everybody was able to get drunk and dance around but i had to agree with Lissa when she said that Christmas was meant to spend with the people you love, and believe it or not I did love these idiots. Lissa sat on Christians lap planting soft wet kisses in his cheeks. Christian brushed the hair out of her face as he whispered romantic things in her ear which made her giggle.

"Gross." i said with one of my best disgusted looks. Christian rolled his eyes at me and wrapped his hand protectively over Lissa.

"Get a room." Mason said with an exasperated look. Lissa grabbed a piece of popcorn and threw it at Mason who smiled victoriously. Lissa moved from Christians lap, and sat closely next to him, without letting go of his hand. Christian caressed her hand softly as they stared into each other.

"Well, now that we are all here." i said pointing across the mostly empty room. "Lets start the feast!" i said gloriously standing up about the yell hysterically at the waiter. Lissa stopped me immediately sending alerting thoughts through the bond. I gave her a confused look and sat down.

"What Liss?" i said confused.

"We are still missing people Rose." Lissa said, with a tone that implied that i should have known that. I gave her a long look as i gazed over at Mason who shrugged.

"Who?" i asked, holding the urgency i felt for myself.

"Tasha and her date!" she said excitedly giving me a naughty look. "Guess!" she insisted excitedly.

"Stan?" i asked. She gave me a look that implied that i had just said something stupid.

"You should know since HE is your mentor." Lissa said, grinning excitedly at the news. My heart sank as i recalled the Glorious Badass God that mentored me.

"Dimitri?" i asked my voice a hush whisper.

"Yes! Isn't this exciting?!" she said. "They would make a beautiful couple wouldn't they?" She asked Christian who just shrugged.

The room went quite for a few minutes none of us cheering for the brand new couple.

"You guys should be glad that she is finally dating again!" Lissa scold. I sighed and gave her a reassuring smile which implied that i was actually happy.

Dimitri and Tasha, i thought once again in my head. I knew they had this connection but i wouldn't have imagined this after all we had-. No i thought, i couldn't be thinking about him anymore. He was my mentor and we would both be protecting Lissa, when Lis and i graduated. There were zero possibilities for me and Dimitri. We wouldn't be able to ever be together because of the fact that we would both be protecting Lissa, and a relationship would just distract us from the real priority, guarding the Moroi's. Not just the fact that we both had to guard the Moroi's but also because he was my mentor and 12 years older than me. Lissa kept giggling exictedly as she spoke about Tasha and Dimitri actually forming a family together, hearing her talk made my heart ache.

Maybe i should be happy. I thought. At least he will be able to be happy with someone who can actually be with him.

Lissa didnt know about me and Dimitri, she didnt know and would never know. The fact that one of the reason's Dimitri and i werent able to be together was because of her would break her heart, and i didnt blame her for that and i couldn't let her blame herself either. It wasn't her fault the Dhampir's had to protect Moroi, it was something we were trained for and something that we would give our lives for. Moroi, were the only reason we existed and we were born to protect them. They Come First.

Lissa can't know. I repeated for myself
