And to any readers I have that haven't been mentioned in any of my author's notes, thank you very much. I have been shocked by the positive response I have had from everyone and I never expected so many postive comments or favourites, so thank you so much for your loyalty and continued support and encouragment!

Also thank you to xDropDeadBeautifulx and .x for reviewing my other story. In regards to Broken Arrow, as it stands I will not be updating it at the moment, however when I finish this story I may continue it but I am not promising anything! Sorry!

I can't remeber if I put it in the last chapter but Jill was kidnapped by Victor as well, so I haven't got confused when we get to the trial.

For those of you who were interested in the one shot story, I have started writing it so I hope to upload in the next few days!

"Rose? We need to get...What the hell is going on here!" I heard Dimitri shout as I quickly wrapped myself in the bed covers while Adrian just looked around confused.

"What?" he sat up, running his hand through his hair. "Shit!" I could tell he wanted to get up but then realised he was naked.

"What are you doing? Male and female students are not allowed in each other's rooms!" Dimitri bellowed, striding into the room. Adrian quickly pulled on his boxers and turned to Dimitri.

"I'm not a student. I can do what I want, Belikov. Anyway, it's not like we are at school anyway, plus Rose wanted to as well." He smirked; I blushed and retreated further into the covers.

"I am aware that you are not a student, Mr Ivashkov," It annoyed me he didn't use his proper title, although I don't know why. "But Miss Hathaway is. Therefore, she will be punished enough for both of you when we return to school. Now get ready for the trial it starts in half an hour." He threw something on the chair in front of him and strode out of the room.

"Shit that was so embarrassing!" I got up from the bed, refusing to look at Adrian and put on a robe. "I'm going to shower quickly and get ready." I said, grabbing some clothes and moving towards the bathroom but Adrian grabbed my arm.

"Little dhampir, don't worry about it. I won't let them punish you."

"I don't care about that! What is Dimitri going to do? He could get you removed from school grounds; we don't know what he could do." I whispered frantically. He shushed me, kissed my forehead and pushed me towards the bathroom and said he'd see me at the trial.

I went and showered reeling from what had happened. Dimitri had no right to just burst into my room or comment on what I did with my boyfriend. But there was also part of my mind that was happy that Dimitri had caught me and Adrian together, maybe then he'd realise that we were serious.

Putting on some clothes I went back into my room to see what Dimitri had brought. It was a guardian's uniform of black and white. It fitted me perfectly with the jacket fitted so it emphasised my hour glass figure. I tied my hair up showing off my molnija marks. I could feel through the bond that Lissa was still in her room so I went next door and we went to the court room together.

Lissa was tense and on edge about the trial. This would be the first time she had seen Victor since he kidnapped her and he scared her. The combination of me and Christian seemed to keep her calm but that meant nothing until the trial started.

"What happens if he goes free? Will he try to kidnap me again? What about Jill? What if he goes to prison and sends other people after me?" Lissa said frantically when we took our seats in the Court room.

"Liss, it will be fine. He will go to prison and it will all be over. There is nothing to worry about." Christian tried to sooth her but I knew it wasn't working. I reached further into the bond to see the full extent of her emotions but all of a sudden they went. My hands started shaking. I felt...scared all of a sudden.

"Little dhampir, it is fine." Adrian sat in the empty seat beside me and took my hands. I was vaguely aware of Dimitri standing behind Adrian with a face like thunder. Why I wasn't sure but I didn't care.

I saw the school guardians, Alberta included, Meredith, Jill and Eddie file in after us and take their seats. Not long after Court guardians brought Victor Dashkov into the Court room. Lissa tensed.

It infuriated me to see him again. Signs of his illness were beginning to show again but not to the extent that it had before Lissa healed him but it was there. He showed no emotion on his face but he had a defiant look which broke into a smirk when he spotted Lissa, Jill and I.

The Queen entered not long after, we all stood when she entered. When the start of the trial was announced we all sat and just waited for our turn to take the stand.

All the guardians stories were pretty much the same. Dimitri's took longer because of my 'attack' on him that night. I was after him and told the court about the 'attack', how I lead the guardians to Jill and Lissa through the bond and the torture I experienced second hand. Lissa and Jill's took longer and really put the nail in his coffin-well I thought so anyway-and everyone was enthralled by their account. They were confident when they spoke but you could still detect thier nervousness at standing so close to Victor.

Tatiana allowed Victor to say his piece and caused a collective shock when he accused Dimitri and I of lying about his charm although I could tell that no one believed him. He was sentenced to life in prison. It felt like a weight had been lifted, until Victor spoke again.

"This isn't over! I will be King one day, you'll see and I will not give up so easily! You'll pay for doing this to me! All of you!" he shouted as he was dragged away by the guardians.

It didn't bother me, they were empty threats. As if he'd be able to do anything from prison, not even Victor Dashkov was that powerful.

"I can't believe it! He has actually gone to prison! He'll never bother us again! But what he said about you and Dimitri, Rose was uncalled for. How dare he do that?" Lissa was buzzing with excitement about this. I was just relieved that everything with me and Dimitri wasn't revealed.

"Yeah, well I suppose you'll say anything to get out of jail, right?" I joked, suddenly aware that Adrian hadn't said much at all and was very tense. "You alright?" I asked him, taking his hand.

"Fine, little dhampir. We should celebrate this. Meet at Rose's room in about an hour and a half and we'll have dinner on me." Everyone agreed and we all went our separate ways, Adrian coming with me.

We didn't speak until we got back to my room. I stripped off the guardian uniform and changed into more casual clothes. It wouldn't take long for me to get ready for the dinner later.

Adrian had sat on the sofa, turning on the TV to some obscure sitcom. I went and sat on his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I can think of another way we can celebrate." I whispered, kissing his neck.

"Rose," he said seriously. This wasn't good. "Was what Victor said, about you and Belikov, true?"

I was dreading this conversation. I knew I would have to tell Adrian at some point about what really happened between me and Dimitri and how I only accepted his invitation of a date at the lodge as a distraction but not like this. Because of Victor Dashkov.

"Adrian, please will you just let me explain." He pushed me off him and started pacing the room.

"What happened between you two?" he was trying not to get angry, I could tell.

"Victor did put a charm in the necklace he gave me. It was a lust charm." He stopped pacing and narrowed his eyed at me.

"How far did you go?"

"We didn't have sex if that's what you mean. You were my first, Adrian. We figured it out before it went that far." I whispered.

"Ok. But then why did Victor think that a charm like that would work?" He seemed calmer after hearing he was my first, almost smug.

"I admit I did have feelings for Dimitri. I thought that I loved him." Adrian had sat down opposite me now, looking at me stony faced. "It wasn't until I met you that I realised that I didn't love him. I love you, he's nothing to me." I was practically begging him now; I was close to getting on my knees in front of him.

"And him?"

The million dollar question. "He says he loves me." He stood and began pacing again.

There was an uncomfortable silence for a few minutes. I wanted so badly to go over to him, put my arms around him and just let him hold me and never let me go.

"I suppose I'm not surprised. He isn't very good at hiding his feelings is he? I believe you, Rose. I'm not mad at you, but I don't like the idea of him still being your mentor." He pulled me back onto his lap again and I kissed his neck again.

"Neither am I but he'll make me the best guardian I can be. You know you can trust me."

"It's him I don't trust." He buried his head in my hair. I sighed.

"Let's forget about him." I said. I kissed his lips passionately.

He pulled away after a while. "How were we going to celebrate then?" he smiled, picking me up and taking me to the bed.

It was completely beyond me how everyone seemed to walk in on me and Adrian in compromising situations. Maybe I should remember to lock the door.

"Rose! You will never guess...Oh." Lissa came bursting into the room and stopped dead when she saw Adrian and I, wrapped in each other's arms, naked just about to commence round two, shall we say.

"Lissa!" I sat up quickly, pushing Adrian away with a little bit more force than necessary making him fall out of bed.

"I'll just wait outside." She blushed and retreated out the door. I could already hear the burning questions in her head.

"Ow." Adrian pulled himself up off the floor and started putting his clothes on.

"Sorry, baby." I said, standing up to kiss him again. He pushed me back on the bed.

"We should see what Lissa was so excited about." I said after a while, getting up off the bed.I got dressed in jeans and a t shirt, throwing on the first pair of shoes I found and heading next door. This better be good.

It turns out that Mia lives at Court and she also saw everything with me and Adrian.

After the excited hugs were over with, Adrian quickly retreated saying he had 'business' which I suspected included alcohol and smoking.

We chatted right up until we had to leave for dinner although Adrian never came up, I text him to say we'd be late. I wore the cocktail dress that Adrian had put in my suitcase; it was a deep blue with a plunging neckline. Trust Adrian to pick something like this. Lissa wore a pale pink dress of a similar style to mine and I noticed Mia had one of Lissa's dresses on.

When we arrived at the restaurant Adrian had told us to go to and I gasped. It was similar to Pricilla Voda's big dinner in terms of decoration but was considerably smaller. Everyone else was already seated so we made our way over to the table.

We chatted easily, keeping the conversation away from the trial. It was nice for us all to be together again, although I wished Mason was here as well. Then we'd have had the full gang together. I think we all felt that although we never said it aloud.

After we finished dinner, Adrian said he'd go back to his parents tonight saying he didn't want to get me in anymore trouble but he did invite the guys along for 'guy time', whatever that meant. We said our goodbyes and I went back towards my room with all the girls.

We went to Lissa's room, after changing into pyjamas we all sat around the TV on the floor. I had just sat down when I got the grilling.

"Rose! How long have you and Adrian been having sex! Why didn't you tell me?" Lissa's eyes were alight with excitement.

"Lissa, calm down." I said Meredith and Jill were the only people that didn't know about mine and Adrian's encounter and leaned in further listening intently. "We only did it for the first time yesterday when we got back from his parents..."

"You met his parents!" They all said at the same time. This was going to get very annoying very quickly.

"Yes, will you let me finish?" I took a deep breath. "I didn't say anything because of the trial and because Dimitri walked in on us." I held up my hand to stop them interrupting when they all went to talk. "We fell asleep so when Dimitri came to give me my guardian uniform this morning he saw us in bed together and said that I would be punished for having Adrian in my room." I said, worried. What if Dimitri did get Adrian removed from campus?

"Rose, it'll be fine. Adrian will be able to pull some strings to get out of leaving campus if it goes that far. I mean he's the Queen's great nephew for Christ's sake!" Jill exclaimed. That was news to me. I'd have to ask Adrian about that.

"What was it like? I mean Adrian has a reputation as a womaniser, is he any good?" Lissa asked. Christian had put her up to this; I felt it through the bond.

"Well, I have nothing to compare it to. It was my first time." I ignored the shocked looks at that comment. "But, yeah, it was amazing. I can't even describe it." Which was true, I couldn't. How could you put into words the closeness you felt when you gave yourself to someone you truly loved?

"I was hoping you were going to say it was rubbish!" Mia laughed and we all laughed with her.

That was how the night continued. Laughing and joking just us girls. That was until Christian text Lissa saying the guys had finished and wanted to join us. All expect Adrian came and we all eventually fell asleep on Lissa's floor.

I decided to go back to my room not wanting to get in anymore trouble after my Dimitri encounter this morning. I cuddled up in the sheets. It felt lonely without Adrian but he visited my dreams, which made me feel a lot better.

Does anyone want to see the dream? Let me know if you do I've written the chapter with and without so let me know what one you want!

Hope you liked it! Get reviewing!
