Enjoy! And sorry for the long A/N in the end!

Chapter 2

Dpov

I scooped Roza up into my arms and kissed her, and with that, our problems disappeared. We were both perfectly happy until Queen Tatiana decided to get on our nerves, 'Guardian Belikov, Guardian Hathaway you're behaving like love-sick teenagers.', she said mockingly. What the hell was up with her? Since when did she joke?

Resisting the urge to roll my eyes, I stopped kissing Roza and looked at the Queen. 'And I'm loving every second of it.', Rose said before I could open my mouth. 'I apologize, your majesty.', I said, trying desperately to keep the sarcasm out of my voice. Then I suddenly recalled something 'What do you mean, you've been watching me? There aren't any cameras around here.', I said warily.

'There are. But they're hidden. And now come, I'd like you lovebirds to see it.', the queen instructed. This was the queen we all knew and loved: her expression a mask, her voice fake-friendly.

Without waiting for an answer, she turned around, motioning for the guardians to follow her. I walked along, and then princess Vasilisa fell into step right beside me. She looked at Rose, who was still in my arms and beamed. 'Rose.', she whispered, 'I'm so happy you're happy.'

'Thanks Liss.', then she turned to me 'Will you let me down anytime soon, comrade?', she asked me with a dazzling smile. I smiled back, 'If 'soon' means 'never in my entire life' then, yes.' She and the princess both giggled. 'Oh, and by the way, thank you very much for bringing me back, Princess.'

As I said that, the princess looked at me sounding irritaded 'Call. Me. Lissa. That's an order', she said half-serious. I laughed 'Okay, okay. Thank you Lissa.' She smiled 'Much better.'

By then, we'd reached an unobtrusive door, made of dark wood. 'What's this?', I heard Christian ask. It was Adrian who answered, both of them had been walking on the right side of the queen. 'It's for security.' One of the guardians opened the door and as we all entered, I didn't need any more explanations, it was enough to see the huge, dark security room. I felt like I had been pulled in one of those Hollywood movies: Screens that showed hallways and different rooms from different angles, and there, where two guardians sat was a screen with a picture of...Roza and me, making out through the bars of my prison.

'Oh shit, we're so screwed', I said in Russian. Lissa looked at me with a shocked expression and I remembered that she'd taken Russian classes back at the academy. 'See comrade, now you're swearing, too.', Roza said, and before I could ask her how she knew that Id been swearing, Queen Bitch spoke again, in that annoying, emotionless voice of hers 'Now, Guardian Belikov, you see, we have every word and movement on tape.', she said with a smug expression. 'And now what?', I - reluctantly - set Rose back on her feet again, in case I'd have to fight.

'I just want you to know that you will be free after we take a few tests to make sure you really are a dhampir again, and then you'll be free to go – both of you. But I will keep this video material and I can do anything I want to you two, whenever I want. One wrong move and I can kill you both. Or worse.', she said.

'Will I be able to be Lissas Guardian? And what about Dimitri?', Rose asked hesitantly. This time, Queen Bitch didn't seem to know what to say, but she regained her composure and said 'I'm not sure about that yet. Go to the reception and tell them who you are, you'll get keys to your rooms in the Guardian housing, for now. Once I decide what to do with you, I'll let you know. Your tests will start tonight, as soon as the sun rises you will be in front of the chapel. That's it for now. You can leave.', she ordered.

'That...that's it?', I asked incredulous. She nodded and left, and with her the Guardians. The room was seemed empty now, with only me, Rose, Christian, Lissa and...Adrian here. Lissa moved first. She pulled Rose into a bear hug that would have broken any humans bones, and Rose hugged her back. It was so sweet, and I was so focused on the scene before me that I almost didn't notice Adrian look at me and then back at Rose, barely hiding his hurt and angry expression. There had definitely been something going on there, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to know about it.

This had been too easy.

I stopped worrying though, as Lissa released Rose and said 'Oh my GOD! Rose I can see your aura and it's sooooo pretty! And I can see Dimitris too! I finally mastered it isn't that great?' Rose and I were equally shocked. 'What do you mean, bright? I thought it was all dark and whatever because of spirit?', I asked. My eyes flickered to Adrian as I remembered when he'd told her that. 'Well, it's because she's in love', Lissa said brightly.

The second the words were out of her mouth, Adrian stalked out of the room, no doubt to get a drink. On his way out, he said 'I need a cigarette. See you later guys.'

Rose sighed. 'I guess I need to talk to him.'

'You definitely do.', Christian said, finally speaking. 'I'll tell you something, we'll all go to the café near the reception and wait for you there, okay? Try not to break his heart too much, if you can.', he said. Now I was completely confused. Rose smiled at him and answered 'That's awesome. Thanks bro.', she hugged him and Lissa and then kissed me.

'They'll explain everything, okay? Try not to hate me so much if you can, please.', she said and was out of the door the next second.

RPOV

Finding Adrian wasn't hard. I checked the bar first, and then went to his room and knocked. The door opened and I expected Adrian to shout at me or look angry or sad or both, I even thought he'd tell me to get lost, but instead he motioned for me to come in and sit on the couch. I sat down and waited for the storm, but it never came. He just sat there, staring at me. 'Adrian...I don't know what to say except that I'm sorry.', I told him truthfully. His ice-cold expression softened and he sat beside me, looking into my eyes.

'I knew this was going to happen, and I guess it's my fault. I saw both of your auras, so long ago in that ski lodge and I knew exactly that you two were soul mates. But I tried to get you anyways, even though I knew I couldn't have you. It was silly and masochistic, but even though I knew better, I simply had to try.', he said. I couldn't say a word. He was right, so, so right. My heart had always been Dimitris.

'But don't you see what I've done? I should never have started anything with you in the first place, I hurt you so much and I thought you could help me forget him. At first it even seemed to work, really it did, but then I saw him again and...I realized I'd just been fighting my true feelings. This is all my fault, and I feel really stupid in saying this, I just want you to be my friend, if you don't hate me too much.'

He smiled 'I don't hate you, little dhampir, how could I? Of course we can be friends.'
I smiled back 'Wow. I can't believe I finally get my happy ending. Will you come to the café with me? The others are there, too.' Of course I'll come. And this isn't an ending, it's the beginning of a very happy life.', ha said and hugged me.

* *R**~VA~**D* *

When we entered the café, the first person I saw was Mia. She hugged me fiercely and shouted 'Oh Rose I'm so happy for you!', she shouted. Next Eddie pulled me into a bear hug and ruffled my hair 'Hey Rose, what's up?', he asked cheerfully. 'Nothing special, bro.', I replied, beaming at him.

That was when I realized that everyone I knew and loved was gathered in the café: Janine and Abe, Christian, Lissa, Eddie, Mia... the whole gang, everyone was there. Everyone except Mason. I thought sadly, but Dimitri didn't waste any time in letting me be sad. After everyone was greeted I was sitting on his lap, eating my fourth doughnut. 'I love you so much Roza. I'm glad you sorted everything out with Adrian. Lissa and Christian told me, and I understand. And I can't believe you thought I could hate you.', he whispered into my ear. 'I love you too, comrade', I answered and kissed him. 'Yummy, you taste like doughnuts.', I said, and then realized everybody in the café was staring at us. Mum and Dad looked like they were ready to kill Dimitri, Lissa looked happy, but Eddie, Adrian and Christian were in hysterics, probably at mine and Dimitris guilty and ashamed expressions.

That was when my mother decided to start moving, and from her expression, I knew she'd try something bad, but Abe thankfully restrained her. 'Let me go! Ibrahim don't you see!', she shouted angrily. I quickly jumped up and took Dimitris hand, pulling him up whit me 'We have to hurry! Do you think Siberia is far enough so she won't come after us?', I asked him. The café was still silent and everyone was still looking at us until I said 'Okay guys, this is a café, not the cinema so go back to your food and stop staring.', and, unsurprisingly, they complied.

The next second, my mother escaped Abe and stood before us, glaring at Dimitri. 'When did THIS', she gestured between us 'start?', she asked furiously.

'Oh, since when do you care so much about me Mom?', I asked angrily. 'I don't think this is any of your business, so don't try to tell me what do do and don't even think about interfering with this.'

With that, I turned around and said goodbye to my friends. Then I walked to the reception with Dimitri. 'Are you all right?', he asked. He knew I was angry. 'Yes, just pissed off at her.', I replied, sighing. The moroi woman at the reception looked scared of both Dimitri and me, but handed me the key to our room nonetheless. ''Wait a second. Just one room?', I asked, surprised. She nodded, afraid to have angered me 'I was told to give you the keys for a room for two people. Isn't that okay?' 'No, no, it's perfect, thank you.', I answered and smiled at her.

'Let's go to our room?' Dimitri asked. 'Sure.', I replied excitedly.

A/N: I'd love to write more but its half past eleven and I have school tomorrow. SORRY if it was as crappy as I think it was.

Okay so the Dpov was kinda boring I think, but tell me what YOU think, please.

And the Rose-Adrian part of the chap chapter is something of a filler, too, but it was necessary so Rose wouldn't feel guilty.

Oh and I forgot the DISCLAIMER! SORRY, this one goes for the complete story!

Disclaimer:

Richelle Mead: Muahahaha! I own Dimitri AND Vampire Academy!

Me: #tear# unfortunately she's right.

Richelle: oooh Maria, don't cry. You can have Dimitri for your birthday.

Me: Really?

Richelle: NO! *stucks tongue at me*

Sorry I thought that was funny xD

PS: This story is probably going to stay rather fluffy, like some long, drawn out epilogue/happy ending ;D I need some more happiness in my life and this works really well for me.

Love, Maria
