Where the hell is he?

Lissa had insisted on giving Rose the day off as she was just in a bunch of boring royal meetings. After much debate (and a few threats), Rose had left Lissa with the rest of the royal guardians and headed out of the royal chambers. Slowly walking towards one of the numerous cafes for her morning donut, she saw Christian walking out of the cafe. Alone. "Hey, Pyro!" she shouted to him. Christian whipped his head around just in time to see Rose stood directly in front of him. "Why are you on your own? Where's Dimitri and the other one?" Christian laughed at Rose's disregard for Will, his other guardian. "I'm doing nothing all day so I thought I'd give them both the day off. Why aren't you in the council meeting scaring all the royals? "However, Christian did not get his answer as Rose had walked into cafe, not ready to battle with Christian until she had her morning donut. Shaking his head, Christian carried on walking back to his apartment, still laughing about his encounter with Rose.

10 minutes later, Rose emerged from the cafe with 1 donut in her hand and another 2 in her stomach. She wandered back to her and Dimitri's house, figuring that Dimitri would've returned there after Christian gave him the day off. Unlocking the door, Rose called out his name into the house. There was no response. After a quick survey of the house, Rose realised Dimitri hadn't returned here. Where the hell is he?

Rose marched around court, determined to find Dimitri. She tried the many cafes, the pool, even some of the bars but she had no luck. She had strolled around the grounds and found many new secluded spots (most of which would eventually become make-out spots, she decided). She decided to take the walk in the gardens which Abe had destroyed in order to break her out all those months ago. The plants had grown back spectacularly and Lissa had commissioned some fancy moroi sculptors to replace the statues Abe had destroyed (out of guilt, Rose suspected; even though she was Queen and could basically do what she wanted Lissa still hated to break the majority of rules). Rose looked up at the statue beside her and laughed. It was a statue of Lissa. Rose remembered the many arguments Lissa had put up against it but it had been no use. Every moroi monarch had a statue and so she would have one too. Underneath the statue of a smiling Lissa, the writing on the plinth read 'да здравствует наш любимый дракон' - Long live our beloved dragon. People had called her the beloved dragon throughout the trials and it was a befitting title for her. Soon Rose thought she had searched everywhere. Then it occurred to her the one place she hadn't searched – the gym.

Rose rushed to the gym. Outside she saw Shane, one of her classmates from St Vlad's, and Christian's other guardian – Crap, Rose thought, what's his name? James? Gabriel? No, it's something British... Will! But they were bent over, heavily breathing as if they had been working out for an hour straight. "Shane, are you alright?"Shane quickly stood upright to talk to Rose. "I'm fine Hath, I'd be more worried about your boyfriend killing Miles and Anthony." The mention of Dimitri and the sheer insinuation of him being in any sort trouble shocked me back to reality. Miles and Anthony... They were the pervs that Mason defended me against... oh fuck! I quickly ran into the building, Shane and Will following immediately after me.

"What the fuck happened?" I yelled at them as I ran hurriedly through the building towards the gym. "Well," Shane began; ugh I can't get there fast enough, what the hell happened? Normally Dimitri has so much more self-control than this. "They were doing strength training and talking about you." Oh god. Bad move if Dimitri is there, he can't stand guys talking negatively about girls... "They were talking about what you were like before you came back, calling you a slut and umm, other things" those dicks! Yeah, it pisses me off but I've learnt to ignore it but Dimitri however, not so much. Finally we reached the gym and I gasped...

What I saw was Dimitri sparring with a quickly-tiring Miles and Anthony. I started forward to break it up but Shane and Will pulled me back. "It's almost over," Will said calmly into my ear. "It's coming to its natural end." I watched as my Russian God tackled the two boys to the floor. I don't think I'd ever fully appreciated just how magnificent he was. Sure, I'd seen him in combat before, but I'd always been in danger too. Now I could just see how fierce he was. "If you ever, ever even think of a girl like that again, I will not hesitate to make this incident look like a paper cut." This was the point I decided to step in. "Boys, y'know if you act like decent human beings, then you might not get beat up." All 3 of their heads whipped up to show me their surprised faces. Dimitri got up and strode towards me. "Roza, do you want me to injure them further?" I laughed and signalled for the idiots to leave. "No, I can injure them perfectly well myself. But you don't need to go avenging my honour every time some immature guys call me stupid names." He looked at me, a feeling I couldn't name but knew that I felt inside myself. "But, Roza," I pressed my finger to his lips gently motioning for him to stop talking. "Shush. I love you, okay?" He kissed my finger and held my hand as he led me out of the gym. "I love you too Roza."
