ROSE POV
I got up and got ready to train and talk to Dimitri. I sighed and looked into the mirror. My hair was in its usual pony tail, I had my trackies and a new top on. The top I got shopping yesterday, it is pink with a tiger covering the whole front of it. (REAL SHIRT, I have it at home)

Grabbing my bag, I made my way to the gym, meeting Eddie along the way.

"Hey Rosie," He pecked me on the cheek.

"Hey Handsome," I replied.

"How are you feeling?" he asked

"Okay." I sighed "I decided to apologise to Dimitri. He is like a brother to me." I explained.

"I understand, I've got your back." He smiled. "Thanks"

We arrived to find Dimitri on his mobile pacing around.

"…What! So they are staying in the guest wing, all of them, Sonya, Viktoria, everyone?"

"… Bring them here when they are ready… Yep. Bye."

He hung up and muttered some stuff in Russian, it sounded a lot like swearing, which I really want to learn.

'I will look up some stuff on the internet later on my new laptop.' (She brought it shopping)

"Hey you okay?" I asked

He looked up and half smiled

"Yeah, umm… can I talk to you?" he asked

"That's what I was about to ask." I smiled

He nodded "You go first."

We sat down, Dimitri across from me and Eddie next to me. Taking a deep breath I started talking.

"Dimitri I'm sorry about how I have been acting towards you when you got back. I hope you can forgive me, you are like the older brother I'll never have." I looked down waiting for his response.

"I will forgive you and I'm sorry about making you depressed. I didn't realise it would happen and you are like another sister to me as well." I looked up and smiled at him. He smiled back and gave me a hug.

"Thanks big bro." I smirked.

"That's alright little sis. Now let's train."

(Dimitri has already talked to Kirova about Rose's depression. Sorry for any confusion)

"Okay, now Castile and I are strigoi and are trying to get to Lissa; you have to 'kill' us both with a 'stake'." Dimitri explained.

"Got it," I said getting into a fighting position.

"Ready, go."

They lunged at me at the same time. I side stepped and pulled out the practice stake from my pocket. Eddie tried to lunge at me again, but I was prepared. I went to stake him but Dimitri grabbed my wrist.

Eddie reaches out to 'rip off' my head, but I trip him over. Elbowing Dimitri in the ribs, he lets go and I lung at Eddie 'staking' him. He gets up and steps aside. Now it's me and Dimitri sparing. The only problem is he taught me everything I know.

We take turns at attacking and defending each other, each getting blows until he knocks me to the ground. Pulling him down with me, I try to stake him. But, of course he has my wrist… damn.

He leans in for the 'kill' and I start to struggle more. Then an idea popped into my head. He definitely won't expect this.

Wrapping my legs around his waist, he freezes for a sec. A sec to long. I pulled my arms free and turn around so I'm on top of him. Then, finally, I stake him.

Jumping up I start doing the victory dance.

"I win; I win, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm better than my boyfriend. I'm better then my teacher. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm better than you two" (sing in tune of finding nemo 'oh yeah yeah yeah, no eating here tonight oh, no eating here tonight. no, no, no eating here tonight, I'm on a diet'… O.o).

I keep dancing while Eddie and Dimitri are laughing. Then I hear the clapping. Turing towards it I saw Kirova, Alberta and a group of girls who look like Dimitri.

"So you managed to beat one of the best guardians and novices in the school, all at once, by yourself. Good job." Kirova said.

"Thank you."

"Nice job Hathaway." Alberta said

"So Dimitri, this is Roza." A girl asked.

"Yes every one, Rose and Eddie. Rose and Eddie this is my family, Viktoria, Sonya, Katina and my mother Kanya." (I don't know how many sisters D has or all the names of the family so I made them up. I also couldn't be bothered to check."

"Nice to meet-"

"ROSEMARIE JANE HATHAWAY!" Someone interrupted/yelled.

I turned around to see my Mum and boy did she look pissed.

"Mum?"

"Is it true? Are all the rumours true?" She demanded.

"Well it depends what the rumours are." I looked down and fiddled with my hands.

"You fell in love with Belikov, he left the school, you got depressed fell in love with Castile, Belikov came back and you started acting like a spoiled brat around him." She seethed.

"Well… I-I wouldn't say spoiled brat because-"

"So it's true?" she demanded.

"Yes." I felt like crying, but wouldn't break down in front of her. I wouldn't crack.

She just looked at me, anger, rage and disappointment clearly shown on her face. Then she snapped.

"That is it. First running away with the Princess, then getting kidnapped in Spokane and having Ashford (is that Masons last name?) killed and now this." I flinched back pain evident on my face.

"I disown you. Send the form to the agencies when you sign it." She said and left. (I know nothing of disownment so fell free to correct me and I'll fix it up.)

I stared after her. I am now an orphan, no real family, no future. They will send me to a Community. Not that they are all bad as Dimitri said. But I will be leaving my friends. Lose who actually act like family.

I broke down into a heap on the ground crying. Eddie came over and started to comfort me. I was really happy that I didn't have Janine in my life. In fact I was ecstatic, except now I will be sent away.

One by one everyone left, some saying goodbye to Dimitri, saying that they will be back later. But I didn't care. I just kept crying. Holding onto Eddie as tight as I could for what could be the last time.

(A/N: It probably isn't a real rule. But in this story if you are an orphan, you can't go to school and you have to live in a blood whore community)

DIMITRI POV

We watched as Rose cried. One by one everyone started leaving until only Ma, Kirova and I were left with Rose and Eddie.

I knew Rose would be happy that Hathaway wasn't in her life. It is just the fact that she has to leave.

"She's an orphan now isn't she," Ma asked Kirova.

"Yep,"

"And she has to go live in a community doesn't she?"

"Yep,"

"… Dimka, can I talk to you outside for a sec?"

"Sure."

ROSE POV

After a while, Dimitri and Kanya walked over to us. I had calmed down enough and wasn't crying as much as before. Kanya then knelt down in front of me.

"Rose, I was wondering…" she started.

"Yes?" I asked.

"How will I put this … Dimitri told me how you think of him as a brother and from the letters sent everyone loves you…" she said. I wonder were this is going.

"Would you like me to adopt you?"

HA HA CLIFFY sorry, but I couldn't resist.

Anyway, hope you liked the chapter, sorry it took so long to update
