-Saturday-

Saturday has finally come. I have just finished my one week bed rest, which I was kind of disappointed about because I won't get to spend as much time with Dimitri anymore. But he promised me that he would try to sneak way when he didn't have any shifts to spend time with me.

I may just have to make a little detour today to Victoria's Secret to but a little surprise for him when he makes his late night visits.

I'm currently standing near the Academy's front gates with Dimitri while we wait for everyone else to show up. Dimitri had stayed the night last night for his final night in my dorm for my bed rest. So this morning he was my alarm clock and a sexy sounding alarm clock he is, and he woke me up to make sure that I was early for once.

So here we are waiting for everyone to get here while a comfortable silence surrounds Dimitri and me. As I looked into the face of the man I love, I can't help but remember what he told me two days ago after he came back from talking to Kirova.

-Flashback-

Lissa had just left my room after we had talked for a while to probably to spend time with Christian. While she was gone I couldn't help but to think about my Russian God. And as if me thinking of him summoned him, he walked into my room with the biggest smile in his face.

It was rare to see him smile but when he did, it lit up a room, and this smile was like one I've never seen. It lit up his whole face and his eyes showed that he was very happy and excited about something.

"What are you so happy about Comrade?" I asked him while a smile of my own crept onto my face.

"Several things actually." He replied while he walked towards me, laid on the bed, wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"And what would those things be?" I asked, very curious myself.

"Well one, I was able to get the shopping trip approved so that is what you will be doing Saturday."

"That's great, but something tells me that's not all."

"You would be right. Alberta is organizing it so that all those going know about us therefore we won't have to hide. So you and I will be able to act like a real couple, meaning holding hands, kissing each other whenever we want, and many other things. She's also having extra Guardians go so that both you and I won't have to be on duty and we can just have fun."

"Are you serious?" I asked because clearly this is too good to be true.

"Completely my love and that's not all."

"How on earth could it possible get any better?" I probably have the biggest smile on my face right now.

"Well when I was talking to Alberta I wanted to ask her if I could be reassigned to another Moroi so that we could still be together but not put Lissa in danger."

"And what did she say?" I asked getting slightly nervous.

"She said she already took care of it and that after graduation I will be the Guardian of a young Lord Christian Ozera." And with that said my smile got so much bigger than what it was 5 minutes ago.

"Are you kidding me? This is fantastic! Christian is going to be with Lissa nearly 24/7 which means that you and I will rarely have to spend any time apart." After that I kissed him with everything that I had to show him how happy I was.

Something told me that there was something else he wanted to tell me but that was completely forgotten when he started to pull my shirt over my head. We then spent the rest of the day in each other's arms.

-End Flashback-

Just as the memory faded, I saw a lot of figures approach us from a distance. As they got closer, I recognized them as Lissa, Christian, Adrian, and eight Guardians including, Stan, Celeste, Yuri, Jean, Stephan, Emil, one I could not remember the name of for the life of me, and Alberta, whom seemed to have a somewhat sad expression on her face.

Dimitri arm never left my waist as they all came over to us which felt really nice because I've always wanted to love Dimitri in public.

Once they all got closer I asked, "Alright is everybody ready to go?"

"Not quite." Alberta replied. She then walked up to Dimitri and whispered something in his ear, and by the way his arm tightened around my waist, I could tell it wasn't good.

"What do mean?" Dimitri asked in a low angry voice.

"She somehow managed to invite herself, I'm not sure how. I'm sorry." She said to both of us.

"What are you talking about? Who invited herself?" And just when I finished the question, I got my answer.

"Hello everyone. Everybody ready to go shopping?" Spoke an exceptionally annoying voice. Everyone then turned towards the direction the voice spoke from and standing there stood none other than Tasha Ozera.

What is she doing here? I asked to myself. I was just about to ask Lissa why she invited her because she knew I hated her for taking Dimitri. But when I did I saw confusion written all over her face. When she noticed me looking at her, she gave a slight shrug and said through the bond, I don't know why she's here, I didn't invite her. I'm so sorry, are you going to be okay? I wasn't sure if I was or not but nothing is going to ruin my day with Dimitri.

As she got closer, I noticed how she was glaring at the arm Dimitri had around my waist, Dimitri seemed to notice too because he wrapped his other arm around my waist and pulled me back towards his chest in a comforting gesture.

"What are you doing here Tasha?" Dimitri asked her with a slight growl in his voice. She was still glaring at me but after he spoke she lifted her gaze to Dimitri and gave him a large smile.

"Well I heard about the dance on Friday and I didn't have anything to wear so I asked the Headmistress if I could go shopping and she suggested that I go with you because you were all going anyway, so here I am." Judging from the look in her eyes, I could tell that she wanted to go with us to probably try to get closer to Dimitri, but there was something in her eyes that told me she was hiding something. What that something was, I'm not sure.

At this point, two of the Guardians had pulled up two black SUVs due to how many of us were going.

When we went to go get in, my group of friends got in and I noticed how Alberta had the guardians block Tasha from getting in with us so that our car was filled leaving her to have to take the other SUV.

Needless to say Tasha wasn't happy about this, and with a glare towards me and Alberta, she got into the other car. Dimitri, Yuri, and I were sitting in the back with Lissa, Christian, and Adrian sitting in the middle. Stan was driving our car and Alberta was sitting shot gun. Everyone else was in the other car with Tasha. When I looked up towards the front at Alberta, she smiled back at Dimitri and me and gave us a wink. God I love her.

I was sitting in the between Yuri and Dimitri in the back of the car with my head resting against Dimitri while his arm was wrapped around me pulling me closer to him as the car started it's long drive to the mall.

As we drove, we had just passed the boundary of the wards when out of nowhere; I get the worst headache of my life. I shot up out of Dimitri's embrace and clutched my head as immense pain shot through my skull.

I could faintly hear people calling my name asking me if I was alright.

After awhile of trying to ignore the pain using the same method I use when trying to block Lissa out, I started feeling better. When I opened my eyes everyone was staring at me with worried filled faces.

"I'm okay, I'm not sure what happened, I just got this huge headache. But I'm better now; it's probably from not eating this morning."

"Roza, are you sure you're okay?" Dimitri asked me, concern and worry for me filled his eyes.

"I'm fine Comrade, maybe when we get there if we could stop by the food court to grab something real quick for me to eat."

"Sure, Rose, are you really okay?" This time Lissa was the one that asked.

"I'm fine Liss. I'm just going to sleep until we get there okay?"

"Okay, we'll wake you when we get there."

"Thanks" And with that I leaned back into Dimitri while he wrapped his arms around me. I could tell he was still worried about me but I pushed that aside and found sleep rather quickly. But before I closed my eyes I could have sworn I saw the shadow of someone flying passed the window.
