Hello! :) Well, here is the second chapter of Before Its All Gone! I'd like to thank all of you of such nice comments, they really make me happy. :D
Oh! Ooops! I forgot to mention before that everyone knows Adrian. Baseically, everything that has happen in Frostbite has happen, except the kiss in the gym, where Dimitri's control was questioned. Which is happening now. Rose's mom never came to the Academy either.
Thank you so much for reading and please review! It would mean alot to me! :)

After a while my sobs finally stopped and I could talk normally again.
"Rose, I think you should try to talk to Lissa again, later when she calms down. Or, I'll talk to her, snap some sense into her. You've always been there for her and she can't, just treat you that way after all you've done for her.", his voice was serious, but comforting at the same time.
"Adrian… please don't tell her anything. She won't listen to you and she'll just get mad at you, she'll start to stay away from you too. Without you, Cassandra will have what she wants. Just act as if nothing is wrong. Please?"
I could see clearly on Adrian's face that he didn't want to stay quiet, it simply wasn't in his nature to. He wanted to defend me, like he had done so many times before, but it was important for him to stay quiet, at least for now.
"Please Adrian. Please, swear to me you won't tell anyone. Its very important for her to have at least someone by her side, you're the only one left. In these circumstances, I really don't think Christian counts. Please?"
"Fine," he finally said with a sigh, "but Rose, it won't be easy to deal with her."
"I know, but I'll try. I have to try."
That's when I felt it. The outlines of my vision turned black and I felt a deep pressure to close my eyes and just sleep. It wasn't the first time this had happened. Thought I did notice that in the last few weeks it was getting worst, and so far this time was the worst. Suddenly, I felt my knees go weak, the only reason I didn't crumple to the ground was because of Adrian's arms holding me up.
"Rose! Rose are you okay?" his voice sounded frantic and the worry was evident.
"I'm fine." I told him, though I felt anything but fine. I felt as if I was going to pass out at any moment.
"Rose, I really think you should go to the infirmary. You don't look so good. Come on, we'll go together."
"No Adrian, I'm fine. I just got a little dizzy that's all. No need for a big commotion." As much as I tried to make my voice sound strong, it came out as breathy whispers.
"Rose, I don't think you're fine at all. Your are pale. You're so pale you even look kind of green! No, come on, we're going to Dr. Olendezski."
"No, no, Adrian," I said, "I feel better now. Plus, its probably nothing, and if it is I'll find out later. They already did a checkup to all the novices, I'll get the results sooner or later."
I could see in his face that he wasn't convinced but that at least for now it was enough.
"Alright," he said, "come on, I'll walk you to your room. Just in case you feel bad again and need my help." There was a sly smile on his face now, and I knew the tension that there was before was gone.
"Okay," I said, "but that its it." I gave him a look that I hoped was ferocious. We didn't speak as he walked me to my room. Each of us trapped in our own world of problems. Through the bond I could tell that Lissa was sleeping. At least, I didn't have to worry about her now. But one thing I certainly had to do was speak to Christian. Maybe he could make her understand. Once we got to my room, Adrian had turned into his usual self.
"If you want, I could stay and keep you enjoyable company." he suggested. I just laughed, thankful to have something at laugh about.
"That wouldn't be such as good idea."
I didn't know what made me do it, but I found myself wrapping my arms around Adrian and hugging him tightly. I felt him stiffen slightly in surprise, but it didn't take long for his arms to wrap around me too.
"Thank you," I told him, "you really helped me tonight. I don't know what I've would have done if you hadn't found me."
I felt his arms tighten around me and he answered me in a small sentence.
"I'll try to be there for you when you need me." he finally let go and I could see that he truly did mean his words and I was glad for that.
"Goodnight." I said
"Goodnight, Little Dhampir. Don't dream to much about me." I just rolled my eyes and smiled at him as I watched him turn around and leave.
When I woke up in the morning, I felt a bad as I had ever felt. When I stood up, I practically fell to my knees. My legs felt weak and wobbly. I gathered strength and walked to the bathroom. My reflex ion in the mirror scared me. I had circles under my eyes and they were bloodshot. I quickly took a shower and dressed quickly, scared to go to training. I didn't know what Dimitri's attitude would be today and I really didn't have the mind or the strength to deal with it today. But I pushed those thoughts aside. What was important now was to find Christian and talk to him about all of this.
When I walked into the cafeteria looking for Christian, the first thing I noticed was that everyone was staring at me. And not in a nice way, I might add. They look at me and whispered, and I'm sure it wasn't anything good. Far back into the cafeteria was Christian. He was alone. It was the perfect time to talk to him.
"Christian, we need to talk." I said once it got to his table.
"Yes, Rose. We really need to talk." he said and gave me a cold look. Oh no, not him too. I sat down across from him and he didn't waste anytime to speak.
"What do you think you are doing Rose? What is it that you want?" Oh no, not again.
"What are you talking about Christian?"
"What I'm talking about? I'm talking about what you're telling Lissa. How you are lying to her. That's what I'm talking about."
"Lying to her? Lying to her about what?"
"Oh, so now you don't remember. Why are you telling her that I'm after you. Why? What is your motive?" With every question his voice got louder, by the end he was standing up and his face was red with anger. Meanwhile, everyone else just stared at us.
"You know what I think. I think that you want to take Lissa away from me. You never liked me and you can't stand to see her with me. I don't understand why don't you like me. I've never done anything to you or Lissa to give you a reason. Or is it because of my parents? Just because my parents turned Strigoi doesn't mean I will, if that's what you're worried about. If you think I'm just going to stand and watch you continue to lie to Lissa you are wrong. I love her and I won't let you come between us. I don't care who you think you are, you won't beat me. I'll fight for her and if you don't believe me, just watch me."
And with those last words he left, leaving me shitting there with my mouth probably open, in shock. While, everyone else in the room stood frozen in the middle of whatever they were doing, watching me. And there at the entrance stood Cassandra. Giving me a smile that screamed, "I won."
CPOV(Cassandra)
Finally, my plan was going into action. Everything was going as planned and I couldn't be happier. Lissa thought Rose was going after Christian. Christian thought Rose was lying to Lissa about him going after her. Finally after so many years of suffering and pain, Rose Hathaway was starting to feel a little of what I felt. And it was only the beginning. I wouldn't rest to see her destroyed, just like I saw the ones I loved destroyed. Rose Hathaway would pay for every single tear I had shed. No matter what I had to do, I would get revenge.
Thank you(Please Review)! :))))))))))))))))
