A/N: Well, Here is chapter three. Sorry for the late update. Been very busy! I hope you like this chapter!
A Killers Heart
Chapter three
I woke up to the sound of water running. I looked around my dorm. In the months I have been away no one had dared to touch my room. Well, maybe to dust; because it was dustless. My bed was unmade, considering that Dimitri and I had just slept in it. My desk was still a mess with paper and school books.
The bathroom door opened.
"Good morning, comrade." I said smiling at him.
"Morning, my sweet Roza." He wrapped his big, strong arms around me. I closed my eyes, savoring his touch. Yes, he touched me a lot in Russia. But it was not like this. It was not him. This was him; truly, unbelievably him. Part of me wanted to pull away, what if I lost him? I did not know how Korova would react about him being back. He was a strigoi after all; a soulless monster. Hell, I was supposed to be a monster too. But something went wrong, no RIGHT. Anyway, what would she do with us?
"Dimitri, what are they going to do with us? How will they react? How will my friends react?"
He looked at me and opened his mouth, then closed it.
"I don't know, but whatever it is we will get through it."
Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Two pairs of familiar footsteps.
"There coming." I told him and opened the door, just as Lissa and Vlad walked up.
I looked at Lissa; she looked tired and stressed out.
"Lissa, Vlad." I said steeping inside so they could come in.
As soon as Lissa got in, she ran at me and threw her arms around my shoulders. I sighed; my best friend was finally back from the dark side.
"I see your back from the dark side." I said chuckling and hugging her back.
"Look who's talking, Rose." She said laughing.
"Well, I hate to break up the love fest here but we have matters to discus." Said Dimitri putting a hand on my shoulder. Vlad looked at him…he looked almost jealous?
"He's right." Vlad replied.
"Rose, last night after we dropped you off we went to see Headmistress Korova. She wants to see you."
Oh great. I thought. She's going to blame me for going off and getting almost turned.
"She has a new schedule for you; one for school and testing."
"Alright, let's go then." I said and walked out the door. God help me, if there were needles involved in these "tests" I'm going to kick someone's ass.
Dimitri had to stay inside until school was out and students were inside. This frustrated him but it was necessary. They still thought he was a strigoi. I, however, had no such reputation so I was free to go. The way to Korova's office was annoying. People stared at me, some came up to me to tell me they were glad I was okay. But not once did I see Christian, Mia or Edie. I asked Lissa about this and she said they were in trouble for sneaking out to help me.
We were now in the office waiting for Korova. My stomach growled loudly. Vladimir looked at me and raised one perfect eyebrow.
"What, I'm hungry I have not eaten for two days!" I snapped.
"Why not?"
"Because I've been a little busy." I said sarcastically.
Just then the she-devil herself walked in. Her hair has gotten a little greyer from the last time I saw her.
"Rose, I'm glad you back; in relatively good condition. Next time I hope you think a little bit before going on your little missions."
I rolled my eyes, she sounded so sarcastic.
"Yeah, now about this schedule?" I asked ignoring her comment.
Vladimir sat in a chair across the room. He suddenly stood up and walked up to me.
"Rose, we have talked to the queen. It took us quite a while to come up with this so quickly, so please stick to this schedule. Plus, she only barely agreed to let us do the tests here and not in the court's labs. She does not trust you, its imperative you stick to this okay?"
I snorted. "Yeah, sure."
"Here you go." Says Korova, handing me a sheet of paper.
Rosemarie Hathaway.

"Okay, looks like I'll be busy first part of the day and free the other half." I said warily. Most of my classed are guardian based. It should be easy enough, after all. I was captures by strigoi, and killed who knows how many, of them. My neck is covered in molinjas and a battle star.
"Yup, we will be able to spend time together! Isn't it great?" Exclaims Lissa excitedly.
"Sure is!"I grin back.
My stomach rumbles again. I am hungry, very, very hungry. I look at Vladimir, who was closer to me then Lissa and Korova. I could see his veins throb with every beat of his strong heart. I could smell the sweat, blissful aroma that promised to sate my hunger.
I shake my head.
"Uh, guys?" I say interrupting Lissa and Korova. They look at me.
"I am hungry, hungry for blood" I say simply, and smile a bit. I don't want to scare them. It didn't seem to work. They all gasped.
"Rose!" Lissa gasped steeping foreword. "You have fangs!"
"Yes, there similar to mori fangs but slightly longer."
I ran my tongue across my teeth, surly enough there were to long fangs. I clinched my fists.
"Look, I may look a little different, but I'm still the same Rose. I still have my soul. Please, please don't be afraid." I said looking at Lissa. After everything that I've been through, I needed her. She was my best friend.
She looked at me with tears in her eyes. I tried the bound again…it was….muted. I could feel a faint buzz from her but I could not feel anything substantial. Lissa suddenly ran to me and through her arms around me.
"I'm not afraid of you, Rose! I'm afraid for you!" She sobbed.
"I'm sorry, Lissa. I can't feel anything through the bond."
"Is it gone?" She said letting go of me.
"No, just blocked. I think it will come back eventually."
Lissa sighed. "Thank God" She replied.
"Now girls, you better get to your tests. Rose, you will not have classes today so you will be in testing with Lissa, Vladimir, Christian, Edie and Mia. There is a new Doctor that will help you. Dr. Swift." Said Korova.
"Yes ma'am." I said sarcastically and walked out the door.
"Vladimir, what's going to happen to Dimitri?" I asked on the way to the academes hospital.
He looked at me. "Well, tomorrow there will be an announcement. They will explain everything."
"I hope everything goes okay. If they start some sort of rebellion towards him or something I'll be kicking some ass."
Vladimir laughed. I smiled at him. We arrived at the hospital in a few short minutes. The hospital was big, and new. They had built it when I was in Russia. The building was the stories high. It was completely white with bushes and trees on the sides of the door.
Apparently we hired a bunch of new people to staff it, but the doctor that was helping me is the best in DNA and cells and other stuff.
Vlad led me to the third floor. Half the floor was unused, we used that half. Witch was pretty big. There was enough room for the lab, and the testing gym. Also a lounge for me and my friends.
"Wow, Lissa. This is really something. Who paid for all of this?"
"Well I paid for the lab and gym, and the lounge and restroom. Queen Tatiana paid for the hospital. Just in case something like…the attack happened again. "
"She let you put this in here?" I asked.
"Well, with condition we give her copies of the results."
I snorted angrily.
"She's going to turn me into a lab rat. Once I find out what I am, I'm out of here."
She smiled a little. "Yea, I promise Rose. I won't let them treat you like that. As soon as we find out what you are we are out of here."
"I'll hold you to it." I replied.
"Me too." Said Vlad, grabbing my hand. I quickly frowned and snatched my hand away. I glared at him.
We went into the lab, the walls were all white. The floor had black carpet. The ceiling had tones of bright lights that bothered my sensitive eyes. There were four tables, all of with had some sort of equipment on it. There was a hospital bed and a couple chairs.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Swift. How are you doing today?" Said a petit blond mori, her hair was cropped short and spiked. Witch was weird for mori. I smiled.
"I'm doing alright. Very hungry though. People keep ignoring that though." I said extending my hand to her and glaring at Vlad.
"Well Rosie, I had a reason for that. We need to take blood before you do. And we have to monitor your reactions. "
I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, like I'm going to go all strigoi and rip every ones throats out." I bit back sarcastically
"That's part of it. We want to make sure you don't get sick, and it could help determine what you are."
I suddenly realized what Vlad said about taking my blood.
"W-wait, your gong to draw blood, as in needles?" I asked nervously.
"Yes." Dr. Swift replied with a "duh" look on her face.
"Oh no," Lissa said. "Rose does NOT like needles."
"Well she is going to have to deal with it." Said the doctor, pulling a syringe out of her lab coat. I tensed; the needle was long and very sharp.
"Sit down please, Rosemarie." Said Swift.
There was loud laughter from the doorway. "Are you still afraid of needles, Rose?"
I turned in a blink of an eye. Probably faster than the eye could see.
"Edie, no I just don't like them." I huffed.
"Sure, little Dihampir." Said a voice behind Edie.
"Adrian!" I ran to him and threw my arms around him. I missed my friend so much. Even though I find him incredibly annoying and cocky.
"Rose, Cant- breath." He choked back. I let go.
"Sorry, forgot I was a lot stronger."
"Its okay." He replied.
"Rose, time to take blood" Said Swift.
"No, don't get near me with that thing!" I warned. I was not going to make this easy. Dr. Swift came up to me.
"Fine, I'll take it without you sitting down." She pulled out the syringe again. Before she could react I grabbed it and through it across the room.
"Nope."
"Rose!" Snapped Lissa. " She's only trying to help. LET HER."
I looked at Lissa alarmed. But smirked when I saw her face. She was holding back laughter.
"Fine then," I said shaking my head. "I hate those little devils."
A/N: Well, I hope you liked this chapie! What do you think will happen at the announcement? And what do you think happened to the bond? Will it go away, or get stronger? Will Rose and Dimitri get a little….closer in the next chapter? ;)
