Chapter Four
The Dark Guardian's Point of View
Rose was practicing with Mason. She smiled at me when she threw Mason on the mat. I smiled back wishing I could be in her arms. I should not have feelings for her. The bell rang above our heads. Rose walked in front of my path to the door. All of the other students had left. "So…. What is our relationship come to?" She asked. I was taken aback for a second. "We are considered dating, aren't we?" I asked. "Yeah, but I don't even know your real name." She said with a smile. "Shadow, my name is Shadow." I said. "Your nickname really matches your real name, does it not?" She said while bouncing up and down on her heels. "It does. You should get to your next class." I said. She smiled kissed my cheek and skipped to her next class.
"I shouldn't have feelings for her like that." I said to my best friend, Jace. "You love her." He answered. "I know, but I am just making her want me more. I shouldn't be so friendly with her." I said. "You are over reacting." Jace said. "I am not over reacting. She is seventeen. I am twenty five." I snapped. "I know. She knows. She knows how old you, doesn't she?" Jace asked. "Yes, I am just afraid that she is going to get to close to me. I don't want our relationship to influence her future as Vasilisa's guardian." I said with a sigh. "You are stressing over this. You are not going to hurt her." Jace said. There was a knock on my door. "Come in," I said. Rose walked in. "Hey," she said. "I have to go Jace." I said and hung up.
Rose lay down beside me. She was watching television. I kissed her cheek softly. "Shadow, why were you and Jace talking about me?" She asked. I looked at her. "You heard, huh?" I asked. "Yeah, why are you so upset over our relationship?" She asked. "I am twenty-five." I said. "I know." She replied. "I am worried that our relationship will mess up your future as Vasilisa's guardian." I said, finally. "Don't worry about that. You won't mess that up for me. If anything I will do something stupid and Tatiana will ban me from being Lissa's guardian." She said. "That is not comforting." I said flatly. "Well, you won't be the blame, will you?" She said with a flirty smile. "No, I guess I won't be the blame." I said. I kissed her softly.
Rose's Point of View
Shadow left to go work on stuff for training that morning. I still lay on the bed. I stared at the wall. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I was woken up when someone spoke. "Rose?" I heard Shadow's deep voice say. "Yeah," I said with a slight smile. "Get up, love. You are going to miss class." He said. "Did you just call me 'love'?" I asked. "Yes. Anyway, you need to get ready for school." He said. "You sound like a parent." I laughed. He laughed, too. He picked me up and walked down the hall with me in his arms. He opened the door to my bedroom and sat me on the bed. He sat on my bed. I got up and got dressed and headed to my first class.
The Dark Guardian's Point of View
I walked to the training area. Some of the students had started to come in. I had hours to wait for Rose. I watched the students for hours until finally Rose's group came in. I walked over to Mason and told him to help her with some fighting that we had practiced while she was gone. She practiced and when she was done she ran to me. "So, how did I do?" She asked. "You did great, love." I said. "I like my new nickname." She said with a smile. "I do too, love."
