Chapter 3

Any ideas? Should I fix something or make it long or what? Well please keep reading.

I woke with Christian's arm around me and him mumbling in my ear. But he was still asleep. I was ready to throw his arm off of me and hit him but he moved. That's when I heard him.

"Lissa. Lissa come back!" He mumbled. "I didn't mean a word I said. I'm okay with you and rose." He cried. A single tear went down his check. "Don't go, I need you." He cried again. I whipped the tear from his cheek and he woke up.

"Uh. Hi rose." He said putting on a smile. I looked into his eyes and he was miserable. When I looked deep into them all I could see was Lissa. The next thing that he did shocked me. He leaned into kiss but I didn't stop him. The kiss was warm and tender, our lips moved together perfectly. I knew this was wrong. For one; Moroi and Dhampirs don't get together and he was Lissa's "X". I pushed him away gently.

"Christian…" before I could finish my sentence his lips were back on mine. I pushed him back harder this time. "This is not right Christian." I said fiercely.

"Why? Do you want to be on this side?" he asked.

"No I don't and you know what I'm talking about. I'm Lissa's be friend and guardian and you are her "X"." I rambled. He sighed and rolled over on his back.

"I Know. But I miss her so much." He cried.

"Stop being a baby." I joked. Then I remembered that I was supposed to be guarding Lissa. "Shit" I said under m breath. I looked down and saw I was stillin my guardian uniform. Dashed up and ran to the door.

"Christian…" I said turning around. "I'm late for work." I said. Christian got up.

"I never thought that you would be worried about work." He laughed and I pitched in.

"Well, I got to go. Bye." I opened the door to see Lissa and Dimitri standing outside the door. "Um…hi." I stammered. "I was just leaving. We were just talking about the ball tonight. I was seeing if he was going." I said pointing to Christian.

"Rose." Dimitri paused and looked at me. He was actually worried. "We were looking everywhere for you. You should have told someone where you were."

"Sorry. I dint think anyone cared." I snapped back. Lissa stepped forward.

"Anyone cared?" she whispered. Hurt flying right at me. "Rose, you're like a sister to me. You know I love you." I sighed I know I took that too far for no reason. But I didn't care I was tired of her and Dimitri always being together and backing each other up.

"I'm sorry" I said to her trying to cool down.

"It's fine. Now let's go because I know you don't have a dress for tonight." She smiled. I totally forgot about the dress I needed till now. And I wasn't going to wear the dress I wear when I was under the love charm, I would bring back to many memories. I looked up at Dimitri and I saw he had the same thought as me.

"Alright, where are we going?" I asked

"Well, you probably won't be too happy but we're going to" I cut her off.

"No. I don't want to go to Adrian's."

"But you can get your dress for free there and it with be one of a kind just like you!" he giggled. Dimitri gave me one of his old "do what she asks looks". I was mad. I like Adrian but ever since I came here he has been trying so hard to get my attention. He likes me too much and I everytime I see him he wont shut the hell up. I sighed.

"Fine. Let's go." I walked in front of them so I didn't have to see any hand holding and kissing or anything like that. I got to Adrian's door and knocked. I took hima while but finally the door swung open. The smell of alcohol it me hard.

"Little Dhampir! What a surprise, what can I help you with today?" A he said slurring his words.

As I was about to answer Lissa came behind and answered for me. "She needs a dress for tonight and we were hoping you could help us with that."

"So, Little Dhampir needs a dress for the queens Ball! Well I can help her with that. So you two can go wonder off." He said showing at Lissa and Dimitri.

"But I want to see the dress." Lissa pouted.

"I'll be fine Lissa." Go and have some fun…your probably tired of me." Are you sure that you'll be alright. Cause he can stay if you want. Lissa thought to me. I nodded my head. I would be more then fine without the love birds here. I see them everyday and it hurts more and more when I'm not on guard duty cause that's when I have nothing better to do.

"Alright little Dhampir, let's go." Adrian grabbed my hand and led me into his bedroom. "So is getting a dress all you came here to do."

"Yes, Adrian, that's all I wanted to do."

"Well, we are going to the mall because I have a tailor there."

"Fine, but I better get Dimitri and Lissa then."

"No, let them be. I just want it to be me and you today." He grabbed my hand and pulled me close. It reminded me of Dimitri. I tried to picture it as him but I couldn't. I pushed him away.

"Adrian. No, we can't." he was hurt and him being drunk wouldn't help. This was going to go bad.

"We can't what? No one's stopping us." No but I'm stopping myself because I can't be with anyone without thinking of Dimitri. "I can do anything I want." He was yelling now, how was I supposed to get my dress with him yelling? "You always play with my feelings for you and you know it. Why don't you like me?" I was going to speak but he cut me off. "What can I do to make you like me?"

"Adrian. Will you shut the hell up? I can't hear myself thinking." I screamed back. He was taller than me so it was hard to get in his face but I managed. "We can't do anything together because I'm Dhampir and your Moroi."

"Dhampir and Moroi do things all the time." We weren't yelling anymore but we had raised voices.

"But I'm not a blood whore."

"Yeah but neither is your mom." That pissed me off. He had no right to bring my mom in this conversation.

"My mom is none of your business." I yelled. We were so close, at least 3 inches apart. "You don't know anything about my mom."

"Yeah, well I know she got knocked up by some Moroi" I couldn't take it anymore. I was trying so hard to stay under control but I snapped. I got close and nailed him in the balls. He fell to the ground with a groan.

"What was that for?" he groaned looking up at me.

"For insulting my mom. Look Adrian." I sank to the ground with him. I came up with best situation possible. "I don't want to be with one right now okay. Believe it or not it's still hard to be with people because of mason. We can go to the mall to together but you have to bring your guardians." I was still mad but he was drunk and would forget everything. He got up and I saw that he forgave me already.

"Alright, let's go. I'll get the car."

"Okay." I reached out to Lissa through the bond to make sure she was okay. And she was more then okay. She was with Dimitri. My heart ached but I had to suck it up. I got up and followed him to my car but making sure I still had my stake.
