"Haven't you done enough? You broke me and you broke my heart! You made me believe in this illusion that you cared about me and that you loved me. But no, I guess this was some kind of game for you. I'm just some 17 year old girl who is in love with her mentor. I tried to do everything to please you Dimitri but what do you give back in return? Huh? YOU LEAVE ME! FOR HER! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU FOR TOYING WITH ME AND MY FEELINGS!" I shout at him, tears already streaming down my face. I run back to the bathroom near the main dining hall and bawl my eyes out. What did I ever do to deserve this?

Okay Rose, he's not worth it. I wipe the tears off and reapply my make up, fix my hair and dress and join everyone else in the main dining hall. Dimitri looks at me, his eyes full of guilt and love and Adrian's just staring at me with concern. I shake my head and smile at Adrian and take my seat between Mason and Eddie. The dinner was boring, nobody talked except for the older Moroi, mostly about the Strigoi incident. I just played tic-tac-toe on the napkins with Eddie and Mason, ignorant towards the others.

"Hey, do you wanna hang out later?" I ask them.

"Yeah sure, I'm gonna change first though." Mason said, Eddie nodding alongside.

"Cool, tell Sparky and Lissa." I tell Eddie who was next to them. Eddie nodded and whispered to Christian who whispered to Lissa. That sounds fun. Our room? Lissa says, and I nod.

"They're in. Great our room tonight. Oh and I'm bringing Adrian."

"Ugh, do you have to?" Mason says, grimacing at the mention of Adrian.

"Please Mason…" I beg him, pouting. "He doesn't have any friends, and he's pretty fun. Pleaseeeeeee?" I beg him, pouting at him. He laughs and sighs.

"Ugh, fine. You owe me big time for this." I grin and kiss his cheek.

"Yes! I love you!"

"Yeah, yeah I love you too." I tell Eddie and the others that I'm inviting Adrian and they seem pretty cool with it. After dinner, the boys took off to their room to change and I walk with Lissa to Adrian.

"Hey, so we're hanging out at our room tonight. You want to come?" I ask him.

"I would love to. Oh, hello cousin." Adrian says, saying hi to Lissa. I raise my eyebrows to Lissa, cousin? It's common for royals to call each other cousin. Oh. I nod in understanding and see Adrian observing us. "Did you guys just communicate with your bond?" You told him? I shoot Lissa a look and shake my head.

"What bond? What are you talk-" I cut myself, I just remembered that I can't lie to Adrian because of my aura. I sigh in defeat and ask him, "how did you find out?"

"Well Dhampirs or Moroi who are shadow kissed usually have the bond. Tell me cousin, have you specialised?"

"No, why?"

"No reason but…" Adrian trails off, touching Lissa's hand as Lissa's face contorts in surprise. "You're just like me…" Adrian mutters. What the hell is happening?

"You have Spirit. Like me."

"Yeah."

"How did you know?" Lissa asks him, still confused.

"Your aura. It's gold, like mine. Everyone's aura usually tells me what element they specialise in but I've never met someone who has the same aura like mine. And I also suspected when I met Rose, her aura was full of shadows and she mentioned that she was shadow kissed and she and you are like sisters. It just added up. I just had to see it for myself."

"Oh, so you were using me? Thanks." I scoff, should have seen it coming.

"Um, I think I should be going now. I'll see you in the room okay?" Lissa says before leaving us, knowing how bad this might get because of my short temper.

"Little dhampir. Don't assume things. I came to you yesterday because I like you. Everything I did was for you. Lissa doesn't matter. I only care about you. Finding out that she was a Spirit-user was just luck. But me getting close to you? All because I want to."

"Yeah, yeah. Your love crap's not working okay lover boy?" I scoff, rolling my eyes. "Get changed to something comfortable and meet me in my room in 10 minutes. Oh, and bring alcohol." I tell him and leave him there, walking back to my room. When I get back to the room, pillows were already arranged in a circle and there was a bottle and cards on the table. Lissa was already in shorts and a tank top, lying on the bed reading a magazine. I changed into some shorts, a tank top and using Mason's hoodie on top of it. I plugged in my iPod to the stereo and played a song while waiting for the others to come. Mason and Eddie came first, and a few minutes later Adrian and Christian followed. Mason winked at me when he saw what I was wearing and hugged me. "Try to be nice to him okay? And tell Eddie too. Try for me." I whisper to him then sat in a circle with the others. I sat in between Mason and Eddie. Eddie sat in between me and Adrian, who sat next to Christian, Lissa then Mason.

"Okay, Adrian did you bring the thing I asked you to?" I asked him.

"Yup."

"Good cause after this, I might need to get drunk. Okay, spin the bottle?" I ask everyone, everyone agreed and I grabbed a used glass bottle and put it in the middle of the circle. "Who wants to go first?" I ask them. Nobody says anything and I groan. "Ugh, bunch of wusses. Fine I'll go first." I spun the bottle and it landed on… Eddie. Well, at least it wasn't Pyro. Lissa hollered and I rolled my eyes. Eddie winked at me and grabbed my face, kissing me fiercely. I was taken aback but soon kissed back, until we needed to break apart for air. Lissa and Christian had an amused smirk on their faces, Adrian was laughing but it wasn't reaching his eyes and Mason just rolled his eyes. I grabbed the bottle of vodka and chugged, passing it to everyone who started drinking. "Liss, why don't you go next?" I tell her, winking at her. She shrugged and spun the bottle, making it land on Mason.

"Sorry Christian." She says before giving a chaste kiss to Mason. Mason then spins the bottle, which lands on Adrian. Everyone except them laughs and they awkwardly peck each other's lips. I was laughing so hard that I was rolling on the floor. Adrian then spun the bottle, and it landed on… me. Great. Adrian pushed Eddie aside and sat next to me, pulling my face in a passionate and long kiss, just like the one we shared yesterday. I kissed back and felt him nibble on my bottom lip. Just as I was about to open my mouth to give him entrance to my mouth, someone tapped my shoulder, signalling me to stop, so I did. Adrian was out of breath and just looked at me with his hypnotising eyes.

"Wow." He gasped. I winked at him and spun the bottle, the bottle landing on Lissa. Let's give them a show. I nodded and walked to Lissa, swaying my hips in a sexy motion used to drive guys crazy. I sat down and Lissa pushed me down and kissed my lips fiercely. It was weird, having your best friend who was a girl kissing you but ugh, I was too drunk to realise the difference. I know it's weird for you too. But I have a feeling it's working. Lissa says through the bond, in between her giggling. I kissed her fiercely, my hands going up to her hair and moaning in between the kiss.

"Oh god, I think I have a hard on." I hear Adrian say, groaning in displeasure.

"I never knew girl-on-girl action could be so hot." Eddie says.

"Yeah…" Mason says, agreeing to him.

"The fact that that's my girlfriend turns me on more…" Christian trails off.

Oh my god! They're turned on by us kissing? Haha. We pull back and give the boys a wink and I walk back to my usual spot. Everyone was gaping at me and Lissa, and we just laughed.
