I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE VAMPIRE ACADEMY CHARACTERS I ONLY OWN THE PLOT!

I am not a professional author and therefore there maybe repeats of phrases, please be kind!

I'm also from Australia so my English may be different to yours and I will probably vary between American and Australian spelling!

Chapter 8; DPOV:

It had been a couple months since we brought Rose and Princess Vasilissa back to St Basils, Rose and I have had the same schedule for a while now. It's now a Saturday and we have training! Today I'm going work her hard. First, we are going to do a 10km, some sprints and then a three round circuit!

Once we were done Rose asked to spar, we pinned each other a lot but I got the final one. I was straddling her and had her hands pinned. I couldn't help but look at the rise and fall of her chest, my eyes travelled up to her lips, her tongue darted out her mouth to lick her lips automatically making me do the same. I looked in her eyes, glassed over with lust. I had to get up. I pulled her up and without looking at her told her to go. She asked if I was, okay? and I heard the hurt in her voice. I can't let my feelings show, it's just not the way our world is, she is to be the Guardian of Princess Vasilissa. If I give into my feelings, I will throw myself in front of her and not the Princess and I don't want to ruin her reputation or career before its even started.

After I packed up the gym, I decided to go home have a shower, have something to eat and then go for a walk. I decided I would go to my favourite spot here at St Basils, the Lake near the cabin, when in was close enough, I saw Roza crying. Why is she crying? Did I cause this? She had not even noticed me, I put my hand on her shoulder, I startled her, and she turned around and spoke to me, she told me why she was crying, and I understood, I feel the same way. After a little while she asked me to go to the gym and I accepted, she took off her shirt, and wow she was gorgeous. Her body is so small but strong, her breasts were just perfect, peeping out of her bra, and I found myself staring at her, her abs were so toned, and I just wanted to reach out and touch her, to search her body and get to know it. I had to snap out of it and put my mask back on. Feeling playful I challenged her to a pull up challenge, I totally had this in the bag, but she beats me at everything else. When I finished, I got down and she was so transfixed on me I made her jump in her spot, I smirked internally, caught!

She made her way to the pull up bar, I guess she was mentally preparing herself but before I even knew what I was doing my hands were tracing her molnija marks. Wow, half her back was full of them, what could she have possibly had to endure to have this many. She was simply spectacular; the best novice there ever was and ever will be.

"Wow, how many... Roza" she looked over her shoulder at me but then turned away and looked at the ground as if embarrassed, why would she be embarrassed? I moved around to face her and put my hand under her chin and pulled it up, so she was looking at me. I had been in this position so many times, every time I turned away and told her we can't do this, and we can't. But before I could stop myself my lips were on hers, I put everything I had into the kiss. But I had to pull back we can't do this.

"Roza I'm sorry we can't, I could lose my job and you're going to become Lissa's guardian, this is for the best, I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that, it was a mistake".

I basically sprinted out of the room, I know I hurt her, I hurt myself too!

I decided to run the outside of the academy try and take my mind off things.

I decided I would go and see Ivan, when I arrived, I just walked straight in, he was just watching a movie.

"Ivan"

"Dimka, what did you do now?"

I sat down and put my head in my hands.

"I kissed her"

"YOU DID WHAT!" he yelled, but I can tell he's very interested, I relayed everything that happened including that half her back is full of Molnija's.

"She's badass D." He said and I already know that.

"I know, she's amazing, wonderful, passionate and loyal, it just isn't our life, she needs to stay focussed, she's going to do amazing things" I said wishing I could be a part of all of that!

"There is no reason you can't be, you're the one standing in the way of that, she is smart enough to make up her mind, you know that!"

"Yeah, I know, but it's for the best, there is no point when in the next year we will have to be separated living two separate lives, she goes to court and we are still here" I said annoyed

"Who said we will be staying here?" Ivan smirked

"What else are you going to do?" I asked, very intrigued

"Only time will tell" he said giving away nothing!

I said bye and decided it was time to head back to my room, exhausted after the events of today! I fell asleep quickly!

Short chapter I'm sorry, Dimitri is a very hard character to write for!
