Sorry I forgot to write the disclaimer for the first chapter. I do not own Vampire Academy. Richelle Mead own's it. Though I do wish Dimitri was mine.

Dimitri's POV

I was looking for the new novice who was supposed to be here 20 minutes ago. Where was she? As I passed the hallway, I saw a figure standing there. I walked towards the figure.

"What's your name?" The figure turned around and I was in total shock. It was my Roza. Wait. She can't be my Roza. She was supposed to be in Russia.

"Comrade, don't tell me you forgot my name."

"Roza? Roza, is that really you?"

"Whatcha' think comrade? My ghost?" I almost smiled. Typical Rose attitude. I hugged her and spun her around. I couldn't believe it was my Roza. After I let her down, "Roza. I missed you. How come you're here?" I asked. She was supposed to be at 's.

"I missed you too comrade. I just got transferred here. And I could ask the same question to you." I glanced away. All the memories came rushing back to me. Me, leaving Ivan with his other guardian at the hotel on my day off. Finding both of them dead when I got back. Ivan was my best friend. I still haven't gotten over his death. "After Ivan died, they needed some extra hands at the academy so I came here."

"You still hurt. Everyday. Don't you? His death has left a permanent mark on you." I smiled. I'm surprised and amused that she guessed another secret about me. I swear, she could almost always read me like an open book. She understands me perfectly. We bonded the moment Zmey brought her to my house asking if my mother could take care of her as her own mom wasn't bothered. We've been best friends ever since.

"How do you always almost know everything about me?" She didn't know that I had feelings for her more than a best friend should have.

"Almost everything comrade? I think I know you better than you do about yourself."

"Guardian Belikov. Aren't you supposed to bring the new novice to the head mistress's room?"
