Here is Chapter 7. Writing this chapter made me laugh a lot. And whlie it's not really that funny I just thought it was funny that I would come up with this stuff. So I own nothing. Enjoy!


"And that, my friends, in why I kick ass a poker." Eddie cried and pulled all the chips towards him.

"Quite!" I hissed, "If they hear you we're all dead."

"Way to be the goody, Dimitri." Christian laughed and I shoved him to the ground in protest.

"By the way Dimitri, why is Eddie kicking your ass? You use to be so good at poker. Of course black jack has never been your game." Mason said.

"I don't know. I guess I'm just distracted. It's been hard to change back to vampiric time." I said.

"Well you gonna have to get past that. Sleeping in class is now not only frowned upon but it'll get you a detention." Eddie said.

"Wow, things change a lot in two years." I noted and dealed another round of cards. All of the sudden the blinds sprang up and early human morning sunlight poured in. Christian jumped back in to the shadows swearing under his breath.

I swore in Russian and ran over to the window. Outside there was nothing but then I saw a black figure on the ground leaning against the building. I opened the window and looked back at my friends. "One minute. I'll be right back." I said and jumped to the ground. Mason and Eddie ran over to the window sill as I fell.

I landed on my feet and straightened up. In front of me was Stan. Crap.

"Guardian Alto." I said.

"Dimitri? What are you doing here? And how did you get here?" He asked.

"The blinds in my room went up and I saw someone –you- down here. I didn't know who it was –until now- and wanted to check it out." I replied calmly.

"I see well I would like to continue our conversation from the other day." He started calmly then blew up in rage. "You took the last Dragomir out of these walls. And you call yourself her guardian. You are a disgrace."

Ouch, that actually stung a bit. I was about to protest when a quite voice stopped me.

"Stan? Dimitri?" We both turned around, Rose was standing there. I blinked, and tried to calm down. The sunlight shone on her hair and highlighted it was gold. I remembered what happen in the gym today.

Flash back

"I love you." I said.

She reached you to my lips and whispered, "I love you too." Then she kissed me again then too quickly broke anyway, "You have class." She said hastily and hurried off to the locker room.

I stood there for a few more minutes trying to make sense of what just happened.

End of Flash Back

"Rose!" Stan said surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"I heard something." Then she looked at me. "I figured I should check it out." Her words were not the first thing on her mind. She was studying me, and I was studying her. Her rub hung open and showed her bare legs under a t-shirt that just covered her underwear. I was still in my jeans and a t-shirt, I think. I mean, I think I was still wearing my t-shirt but that wasn't really the issue. "How did you get down here?" She asked.

I pointed up at my open window where Mason and Eddie rested their elbows on the sill. They took their head out of their hands and gave me a thumbs up with big grins on their faces. They nodded encouragingly and Eddie chuckled at something Mason said. I shook my head warily and gave them the finger. The pretended to look insulted then rested their head on their hands again and watch us like this was the best Goddamn reality TV show they saw.

I turned back to Rose, "How about you?"

"I'm no better then you." She pointed to the open window a few windows from mine. Her room was so near, yet so far. "Come on, I'll take you back up stairs." She gestured towards the double doors leading into the male novice dorm.

"Wait a minute, Rose. I was still talking to him." Stan stepped in.

"I think you're done Stan." Rose said firmly, "If you would like to continue this argument, you may continue it with me. But not here." There she goes saving my butt once more.

Stan growled and swore under his breath but let me go. Rose and I walked in silent, when I was sure no one would hear us I said, "Dot-dot-dot."

Rose laughed, "Did you really just say that?"

I shrugged, "I uh… I was just thinking… I mean…" I tried and failed to say anything.

"Dimitri, look about what happen in the gym." We stopped. "You're my student and I was out of line." She said. I tried to keep my face wiped clean of emotion. Whether or not it worked I don't know. Rose looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes, "You… You… Oh God damit." She turned around and paced the other way.

"Rose, I…" I had nothing to say. She had a point, she was right frankly. She turned around and strolled towards me.

"Never mind I don't take it back, I can't take it back." She said.

"I won't let them get you in trouble. I'll protect you. They won't get to you." I said.

Rose smiled, "It's the funniest thing, you know? You act like the old one, when you're the victim."

"I'm no victim, Roza. We in this together." I said. Wow she was right. I kissed her, it was short but reassuring.

"Rose? Rose! Belikov!" I heard Stan's voice behind me.
