WHAT? 2 chapters in 2 days? It's madness! I'm just kidding. No, I wrote one really long chapter and decided to divide it for more suspense. But here's Chapter 7! Remember, these are rewrites, so some chapters are going to be really similar, but I'm trying to pace it out more.

I don't own VA!

Chapter 7

Dimitri's POV

"So why are you really here?" I said harshly and crossed my arms at my ex-girlfriend.

"Oh, didn't I tell you?" She laughs. "The Hathaway princess is my cousin." She smiled darkly. "Her mom was my aunt who was an Ozera."

My ex-girlfriend was a two faced, cheating back stabber. I thought she was the one for me. Now, I know Roza is. I dated Tasha for 2 years back in Russia. My mama loved her but my grandmother hated her from the beginning. Now I know why. I found her sleeping with my best friend, at the time but not anymore, Ivan, and I was absolutely heartbroken.

"Oh Dimka, how I've missed you." She stroked my cheek. I slapped her hand away. She sat down at the closest bench near us. "I see you still have an interest in fire users." She held up her palm and a little fire ball danced along her fingers. She crossed her legs and smirked.

I tried to walk past her, in attempt to not be in too much trouble with my teacher. "Excuse me, I think I was talking to you." She held up her palm and stopped me. "That's not the way to treat a lady. Your mother would be disappointed." She smirked again.

"Well, I really don't care what you think." I told her. She was really pissing me off.

"Well maybe you should then." Tasha smiled and started to walk away from me. "Well, maybe I should leave my mark." She turned back and slapped my face hard with her fire element. She laughed, tossed her hair back and walked away.

Rose's POV

After my last class, I didn't see Dimitri at all. I hung out in my dorm and worked on homework. I had a hard time focusing. I got a text from Lissa.Hey wanna hang out?

I replied: Can't. Gotta see Dimitri. Tomorrow?

In my head, Lissa told me k. Lissa is a spirit user so she was able to send me messages to me spiritually; an element that many people have yet to heard of or even believe in.

I headed to Dimitri's dorm. I knocked on his door. I heard a loud sigh. I heard him stand up from his bed. Vampire senses including super hearing, which was definitely useful.

He opened the door, looked down at me, gasped and turned away from me. I could only get a quick glimpse of a burn across his cheek that looked like a handprint.

"What happened?" I snapped. I wanted to know what Dimitri did to make my cousin get angry enough to slap him and use fire at the same time.

He tried to push me away. I budged against him. I pleaded. "What did you do to my cousin?"

"Rose, stop." He gripped my wrists. He looked down straight into my eyes. "You're in a rage. Snap out of it! Please." He looked desperate. I took a deep breath.

"Tell me what happened or else we're done." I threatened. I knew if I put our relationship on the line, he would finally tell me.

He took a deep breath, let go of my wrists and sat down on his bed. I saw hurt in his eyes, but I did what I had to do. I sat down next to him. "Roza, you know I care about you, right?" He finally spoke after a long silence.

"Of course."

"Then trust me on what I'm about to say." He paused. I waited for him to continue. "Your cousin, Tasha, isn't who she seems. She's a liar, a fake and a manipulative brat."

I stared at him in shock for several seconds. Then I burst out laughing. "Yeah sure, and I'm going to be queen when I turn eighteen." I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"I'm serious." Dimitri said stiffly.

"Listen Dimka, I know my cousin. She's a total angel. She and Christian are my only family left! I don't want to lose them. I can't..." I started tearing up.

"Blood related." He whispered.

"What?"

"They're the only blood related family you have left. But not the only family left that loves you." He lowered his voice and looked up at me.

"What do you mean?" I stuttered. He kissed away my tears.

"Lissa, Christian, whether he wants to admit it or not, Eddie, Mia, and me..." He trailed off as he listed all of my friends. "We all love. I Love you." He grabbed both of my hands.

I completely blanked out about what we were talking about. Then I remembered. I've known Tasha and Christian my entire life, but not very well and from a distance. I don't know what to believe.

"I-I believe you. And I love you too." I smiled through my tears.

I find myself in his arms. He starts kissing me softly. Those kisses turn passionate. Moments later, we find each other lost in each other's arms as we make love for the first time. For the first time, I have found someone who truly loves me.


The next day, we were walking around outside to our first classes, holding hands. Tasha walked up to us, smiled and sweetly said, "Hi Rosie." I really hated when people called me that but she's been calling me that since I was little so it didn't bother me that she did.

"Tasha… we need to talk." I glance at Dimitri and then looked back at her. "I need to know..." I was interrupted by the speakers.

"Princess Rosemarie Hathaway to the Headmistress's office. Oh, and Novice Dimitri Belikov." The unfamiliar voice carried throughout the campus. It sounded formal, confident, and powerful.

I sighed. "I guess this will just have to wait. Bye Tasha." I grabbed my bag and took Dimitri's hand. We headed towards the office.

Who do you think called them to the office? Please review! I love my reviews! It makes me smile!:D
