1The next morning Rose woke up to the sound of knocking on her bed room door.

"Rose wake up in open up your door, were leaving to go shopping for the dance today", Lissa called out.

Getting out of bed I groaned when I looked at my clock by my bed side table and saw that it was only eight in the morning. Gosh, why did Lissa have to wake me up at 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday I already have to get up at 6 a.m. through the week for my training's. Which I wonder who would be doing now. "Opening the door I came face to face with a bright and happy Lissa. How could she be so happy this early is beyond me. "Hey Liss come on in let me take a shower first then we can leave",I said. Walking into my room Lissa closed the door behind her as she sat on my bed and flipped on the t.v. In the bathroom I took a quick shower letting the cold water wake me as I got in. Getting out of the shower I put on clothes and applied a little eye liner and mascara since I didn't really like wearing a lot of make up.

Stepping into my room I heard " you are not the father", coming from my t.v. as Lissa turned towards me. Then back towards the t.v. "Ready Liss", I asked grabbing my hair tie so I can put my hair up when we get to the mall in case we run into any strigo. Walking down to the garage we met up with the gang. "Well it took you long enough", Christian said. "Hey not everyone can get up this early of a Saturday especially if they have friends that they hang out with on a Friday night", I replied. Before Christian could respond Lissa took his hand and said "Eddie, Christian, Rose, Alberta, and Stan okay were all hear except". Adrian Lissa was about to say as he stepped through the door.

"Okay am here" Adrian said . Once Adrian was their we all piled into one of the Academy trucks with another with four more guardians following. In the truck we were all talking and laughing, when Alberta turned around and said "Rose since Dimitri left I will be taking over your private practices in the morning before class and after school starting on Monday".

"Okay that fine what time do you want me at the gym"? I asked her while Adrian was just staring at me.

"What time did you usually have to be there"?

"6 a.m" I answered

"Well then well leave it the same", she said then turned as we pulled up to the mall. Before we could get out of the car the other four guardians that came along in the other car scooped the area outside for any strigo before we were able to get out the car. Once they were done and we were out the car two of the guardians who I did not know and Alberta came with Lissa and me as we went to go look at dresses. As we were looking at dresses Lissa asked

"Rose who are you going to ask to the dance"?

"Nobody Liss", I was saying when she interrupted me.

"What Rose", she said looking up from the side of the rack she was on looking at with dresses. "You have to ask someone" she said as she squealed when she found this cute black and white dress. Oh my gosh Rose this dress is so cute I think this is the dress am going to get". "Rose a whole bunch of guys would die to go to the dance with you", she said from inside of the dressing room.

Getting tired of hearing her talk I decided to tell her as she came out of the dressing room spinning around so I could see her dress I said , "Okay Liss the reason am not asking anyone is because Adrian already asked me and I told him yes" stopping mid spin she stared at me mouth wide open not saying anything I could feel how happy and surprised she was through the bond. "Close your mouth before something flies in it" I said smiling at her.

"Oh my gosh are you guys like a couple now" she asked

"No I just agreed to be his date since I wasn't planning on asking anyone and he asked me that's it I said. Going back into the dressing room Lissa took of her floor length dress, it was really cute it was a haltered dress with a white swirl on the side that was sparkly while the whole dress was black and had glitter. When Lissa came out the changing room she helped me find a really cute black dress that sparkled and had a slit on the side it was simple but yet elegant and I liked it. Going into the dressing room slipping it on I came out and let Lissa see "Oh my gosh Rose you look amazing in that dress". She was right I thought looking at myself in the mirror the dress hugged my curves in all the right places. After we found our dresses we went to another store to buy shoes and assecories.

"So Eddie who asked you to the dance" Christian said as they were getting their suits.

"Mia" he replied. "What about you Adrian, I know you must have had plenty of offers " Eddie said.

"Well I did quit a lot but they just didn't come from the person I wanted to ask me so I asked her and she said yes", Adrian said with a smirk on his face.

"Who is she" Eddie and Christian asked as they were paying for their suits, Adrian didn't get a suit his was being custom made and delivered to his apartment back at the Academy.

"Well if you must know it's Rose", Adrian said while Christian and Eddie just stared at him.

"If you even think about hurting Rose, Eddie and Christian threatened Adrian leaving the store to meet up with the girls at the food court.

"I would never so save your breaths, before we go to the food court I need to stop at Zales" Adrian said it's a jewelry store. Walking into the store all the women turned and stared at me but I didn't pay them any attention as I went and asked the lady for the necklace I ordered and she already had it wrapped I just handed her five hundred dollars and told her to keep the change. Putting the box into my jacket pocket so Rose wouldn't see it we walked to the food court were we met up with the girls.

"So how did dress shopping go did you find something tight", I asked Rose taking the seat next to her. While Christian took a seat next to Lissa and Eddie just sat down by me and Rose while the guardians sat at a table right behind us. Getting food we finished eating and when we were about to leave the mall 5 strigo jumped out at us as we were headed toward the truck going into action the guardians surrounded us as the other 3 got ready to fight "Rose Hathaway we have heard great things about you one of the strigo said as I tensed at the mention of her name. Handing Rose and Eddie a stake Stan went to help the one of the other guardians that were struggling as Alberta circled the one with Rose helping her as Eddie ushered me, Lissa, and Christian into the van. Going in Rose landed a blow right to the strigo's face as Alberta came up from behind as it stumbled staking it in the heart causing it to go limp. Alberta called a clean up service to get the bodies which the hidden before we left. On our way back to the court Rose kept sneaking peaks at me so I leaned over and whispered in her ear "I see you" and her cheeks started turning pink as she looked out the window. When we got back to the Academy we all went our separate ways to our rooms except me I followed Rose.

"What are you doing", she asked me when I came her way.

"Walking you to your dorm", when we got to her dorm she said "good night" unlocked her door and was about to head inside when I spun her around kissed her hand said "good night see you tomorrow ".
