Here is the next chapter. Thank you for all the reviews! They were amazing! I am at home for some time now so I should be able to update more regularly. I know this one isn't as long or as good as the last one, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!

Chapter Thirteen…

As soon as I fell asleep the darkness transformed itself into a beautiful garden. I knew I had been here before and it took me a few moments to realise that it was Adrian's grandma's garden. I looked around to find Adrian, who was standing underneath a trellis. "Hey Adrian." I said smiling.

He smiled back, "Hey Little Dhampir." He stood there studying for a few moments. Anyone else would have thought he was checking me out, but I knew he was looking at my aura. "What's wrong? You have regret, anger and sadness all around you. Did you fight with the cradle robber?" He asked.

I laughed. "No, me and Dimitri are fine. I fell out with Lissa. Or Lissa fell out with me anyway." I explained.

Adrian looked shocked. "You and Lissa fell out! You haven't fallen out the whole time I have known you both." He exclaimed. It was true, we hadn't fallen out since when I told people about her cutting herself.

"She walked in on me and Dimitri making out." I said.

He looked shocked. "Wow." He breathed. "No wonder you had a fight. I am taking it she didn't take it well."

I shook my head. "She just left without saying anything to me. Christian was with her, and he knew the whole story."

"Wait. Did you just say Christian already knew?" He said, gaping at me.

I laughed at his expression. "Yes." I already knew he was going to ask me why, so I answered his unspoken question. "He noticed I was upset after Dimitri left and the hen Dimitri came back it got even worse. He came and asked me what was happening between us and when I denied it he told me he wanted the truth, so I told him. He said he understood and that he truly believed he had left because he thought it was best for me. Anyway, didn't you notice him constantly glaring at Dimitri at breakfast the other day?" I said laughing.

"Yeah, I wondered what that was all about actually." He replied, laughing with me. "So, back to the Lissa story then?" He asked.

"Yeah, well after she went, I checked the bond and she had tons of darkness from spirit in there. So I took it from her and she was still mad. I went into her head to see what Christian was going to say to her. He defended me, saying that I hadn't wanted to talk about it. Then he told her that you had known and that's why I was spending so much time with you. She got angry again, then figured out Christian knew. Christian said that he didn't tell her because I had asked him not to, so I didn't worry her. Also that it wasn't his place to tell her. She got even more angry and told him to get out." I said.

Adrian, like Dimitri had, looked genuinely shocked. "Christian stuck up for you even when Lissa chucked him out!" He exclaimed.

I nodded. "So then I went to find Christian to tell him to make up with Lissa."

Adrian stopped me. "You told Christian to make up with Lissa?"

"Yes. I didn't want them to fall out because I was stupid enough to not tell her the truth. Christian wouldn't change his mind and said Lissa was being unreasonable, he said he wouldn't make up with her when she was wrong. Then I thanked him, went back to my room and here I am." I finished.

"I can't believe Christian would do that for you." Adrian mused. "You guys are really close now." He said laughing.

I laughed. "That's exactly what Dimitri said!" I exclaimed. "It is true though, he is like the brother I never had."

Adrian laughed with me. Then he turned serious and looked at me. "How are you? It can't be easy falling out with Lissa." He questioned me.

"I'm okay. I just think she needs time. I'm sure she will let me talk to her eventually." I said, sighing. When I went to sleep she had still been angry and it hadn't subsided at all.

"Well, she is being unreasonable. She will settle down soon though." Adrian reassured me.

"Oh God. Don't you go falling out with her as well!" I said looking at him.

He laughed. "Don't worry Little Dhampir. She might not talk to me anyway now she knows I knew all along." He said.

I sighed. I suppose he was right. Lissa didn't seem mad at Adrian though, she seemed more mad at Christian, because he's her boyfriend.

The plants in the garden began to fade. "Your waking up, I guess I will see you at breakfast." Adrian said before he disappeared completely.

I woke up to an empty bedroom. Dimitri had said it was best to get breakfast before training today, so I headed down to where everyone else was stuffing there faces. When I headed down, I noticed everyone was sat at there table like normal. The only difference was that Christian and Lissa were sat at opposite ends. I groaned mentally. They still hadn't made up. Adrian was talking to Christian and Lissa to Eddie.

I went and sat down between Adrian and Christian. Tension instantly formed and Lissa looked away from me pointedly. She carried on talking to Eddie who was looking confused. He obviously hadn't been informed about our fall out. He was also the only one who didn't know about mine and Dimitri's relationship. "Are you okay?" Christian asked, noticing my sullen mood.

"Yeah. I'm okay. I still think you should make up with her though." We were speaking quietly so only Adrian would be able to hear us.

"I am sticking by my decision." He said, successfully ending the conversation. Adrian chuckled quietly beside me. After a few minutes of chatting to Adrian and Christian about anything other than Lissa, Tasha came and sat down.

"Hello everyone." She greeted us, oblivious to the tension.

"Hey." We all responded back.

Tasha picked up conversation while we were all sitting in an awkward silence. "I heard they were giving you a month off before school starts again after graduation." Tasha told us enthusiastically.

I was actually shocked I hadn't heard about this sooner. I thought we would have been the first people to know, not Tasha. Nobody else looked surprised by this however and I wondered how on Earth I had missed out on this. "When did everyone else find out about this?" I exclaimed, exasperated no one had told me.

"Kirova told us yesterday." Christian informed me.

"Where the hell was I then?" I asked.

"Probably making out with the person you are having a secret affair with." Lissa muttered.

I could tell everyone had heard her. Obviously Adrian and Christian knew what she was talking about, but the look on my face told Eddie and Tasha to steer clear of the topic. In an attempt to change the subject, Eddie spoke. "What are you lot all doing in your time off then?" Eddie asked. He wouldn't be staying here because he didn't know which Moroi he was going to be assigned to.

"I have no idea." Everyone answered at once.

Eddie chuckled. "Good thing you all have something planned then."

We all laughed, but none of our hearts were in it. I had just finished my breakfast, so I realised it was time for training. "Well guys, I have training so I will see you later."

Just as I was about to stand up, Lissa made a comment. "Going to spend time with your boyfriend Rose?" She taunted.

I glared at her. "Don't Liss." I warned.

"What? Haven't you told everyone here? I mean I thought you had told everyone before me. Wait. You didn't even tell me. I had to barge in on you making out with him to find out." She said in a cold voice.

Everyone was looking back and fourth between us. Adrian and Christian looked wary. Neither one of them wanted to be dragged into the argument. Eddie and Tasha just looked confused. "You know what Rose? Maybe I should spread the gossip. I wonder what Alberta and Kirova would think when they found out." She said maliciously.

"Alberta already knows and actually she didn't care at all." The words were out of my mouth before I had time to stop them. I cursed mentally.

"What? You mean you even told Alberta before me! Thanks a lot Rose."

"No. Alberta worked it out because unlike my so called best friend, she noticed when there was something wrong with me." I retaliated. That was a low blow and we both knew it.

Lissa flinched before coming up with her new argument. "Well, how about Kirova. I am sure she wont take the matter quite as lightly."

I glared at her. "Just because you are pissed off at me, doesn't mean you can take it out on him. He doesn't deserve to lose his job because I was stupid enough to not tell you for so long." I retorted before grabbing Eddie and pulling him out of the commons with me. Just before we left, I heard Tasha ask Lissa something. Through the bond I could tell that Lissa had just told her it was Dimitri. I saw Tasha storm off.

I turned to Eddie. It was time to tell him the truth. "Come on Eddie. I just need to go and tell Dimitri I'm not coming to training, then I need to explain everything to you."

Eddie nodded and followed me towards the gym.
