Sorry it took so long to this chapter but I have been studding so much these last couple of weeks. Sigh, why does school have to be so hard. Also I would like to send a massive thank you to my wonderful beta reader SassYNoles who edited my story for me in just a couple of hours.

I do not own Vampire Academy Richelle Mead does. I just own Vitya and the story line.

Italics are Rose thinking to herself.

Chapter 4

Previously on "Dimitri … Is That You?"

"Well it could get a whole lot more awkward." Vitya said sheepishly. I was about to ask him what he meant when he kissed me. At first I didn't know what to do but after a couple of seconds I started to kiss him back. Vitya picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. We must have been making out for a couple of minutes when the sound of someone coughing brought us back to reality. I looked towards the doorway to see a shocked Tasha. I have to admit she wasn't the only one who was shocked, I was too. I mean I was in love with Dimitri not Vitya right? Right? I was so confused. God why does this always happen to me. First I die. Then I have an illegal relationship Dimitri. Get caught and am forced to leave everyone I know. Then I see Tasha with who I thought was Dimitri but was Vitya and now I am starting to fall for Vitya, Dimitri's twin. God why is it always so difficult for me.

"Uh … I … sorry," I said to no one in particular before running out of the kitchen and into my room where I broke down on my bed. I had a feeling this was only the beginning.

When I woke up in the morning I felt like shit. I must have been crying for an hour or two before Tasha came into the room to go to sleep. Something was off about her last night but I just put it down to my imagination. I sat up in bed groaning to discover that Tasha was already up and gone.

I stumbled into my bathroom to have a shower when I caught a look at my reflection in the mirror. I actually looked how I felt. My hair was sticking out in all angles, my eyes were red and puffy from silently – and not so silently – crying all night, and my lips were still swollen from my make out session with Vitya. I stood under the hot, steamy water for at least half an hour before I got out and dried myself. I spent another half an hour doing my hair and make up to make myself look somewhat presentable. Let's just say I put on a lot of concealer and foundation.

By the time I was finished in the bathroom, which was about an hour and a half, I walked down into the kitchen to see Tasha and Vitya eating cereal at the kitchen island. "Hay. Harrw warrrre you?" Vitya mumbled to me around a mouthful of cornflakes.

"I'm alright. Would you by any chance know what the time is? I'm supposed to be at work at 9.30." I asked Tasha or Vitya, I wasn't too fussed about who answered me.

"Well you better get on your way 'coz it is 9 o'clock." Tasha grunted while smirking at me.

"What do you work as?" Vitya asked me curiously.

"Um … I actually work at the Dome Café that you guys found me in." I told him smiling. Vitya smiled back at me. God he looked so gorgeous when he - Rose, Stop it. You shouldn't be smiling and thinking things like that about Vitya. You like Dimitri. I just … You just … NO!

"… ROZA! ROSEMARIE HATHAWAY!" Vitya yelled into my face and I mean my face. He was so close we I tuned back into reality I nearly shat myself and fell backwards onto my butt.

"Uh … Yeah. What were you saying Vitya?" I asked dumbfound. Wait did he call me Rosemarie Hathaway? I don't remember telling him my full name. Tasha must have told him some time yesterday, probably when I was upstairs crying.

"I was asking you if you would like some toast before you head off in 10 minutes," Vitya asked looking at me strangely, "Are you sure you are alright?"

Seriously, what is wrong with these people? Is it just me or are they acting strange? Oh, crap I forgot I need to get to work. At this rate I'll be two hours late. George hates me enough as it is and I still have to tell him that I will be leaving half way through my shift to head off to court, for god knows how long. Only I can't tell him I am going to America because that is where Tatiana decided to make her Royal Court home because he is human and doesn't know anything about what I am. Oh the drama (sigh).

"Uh, no thanks. I have already missed my bus so I have to leave now or Georgy Boy will eat me for lunch. Make sure you guys have your things packed before I get home. I will be back at 3pm so I have an hour to pack and then we will all head to the airport." I told them both as I grabbed my backpack and raced out the door.

To add to my luck as so as I walked out the door it started to rain and I mean RAIN. So not only was I late but I was also completely drenched. I took one step into the Café when I heard George. "ASHFORD! You're late again. I swear Marie if I didn't know that you really need this job I would have already tossed you out onto the street." George screamed at me from across the Café not caring about all of the customers pretending not to listen in. Oh did I forget to mention, no-one in Perth knows my real name not even George. I go by Marie Ashford, because Marie is a part of my real name and Mason's last name was Ashford.

"George can I please talk to you? It is kind of important." I asked George deciding not to test his patience just yet.

"Fine Marie but it better not be a waste of my time or I'll waste yours." George told me while directing me towards the backroom – which is the only privet room in the Café. "What ya want Marie?"

"George you know how I have been saving up my leave time for something, well I would like to use that now. Well you know how I used to live in America; well yesterday I ran into two of my friends from school. So would it be possible for me to take at least 4 weeks off of work to and see all of my friends and family that I haven't seen in a year. Oh and I don't know when I'll be coming back. It may be in two days or it may be two months but I really need to do this. I am leaving today and 5:30 so I have to leave my shift early at around 2.30." I asked George carefully watching his expression.

"WHAT? You want to take off 4 weeks or MORE to go and see friends and your leaving TODAY! Who do you think you are? God. Oh I'm God you can't touch me nanananana. (AN: I just saw that in a car ad. It fitted perfectly.) I'm telling you now when you get back you owe me good." George screamed at me as his face grew red.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!" I screamed while I threw my arms around George and hugged him.

When 3.30 came I was fully packed leaving me with half an hour until we had to get to the airport. It is gonna take more than 24 hours to fly to Pennsylvania. God, why does it have to be so long? I decided to shower again to pass time. After I dried myself I walked into my room with a towel wrapped my body and another towel wrapped around my hair to find Vitya sitting on my bed waiting for me. "Hi?" I said to Vitya in a questioning tone.

"Hi Roza. I thought that now might be a good time to talk about last night." Vitya told me while eyeing my towel.

"Um … Okay. What do you want to talk about?" I asked him while walking over to my dresser to pick the clothes I was going to wear.

"I just wanted to say that I enjoyed what happened last night and I hope I didn't freak you out too much." Vitya explained smiling at me.

"Um …Ok look I really don't know how to say this but what happened last night was a mistake. I don't know what came over me. It might have been because I was so happy at the idea of seeing all my friends again or maybe it might have been something else. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings but I love Dimitri and what happened last night won't happen again." I told Vitya firmly. I felt really bad when I saw his face drop but I had to tell him this and I had to tell him now.

Gosh why is everything so confusing at the moment? I thought as I walked back into the bathroom to get dressed. Maybe it's because Vitya and Dimitri look so alike that is confusing me, I just don't know. When I looked at the clock I still had fifteen minutes before we had to go to the airport so I decided to check in on Lissa. The last time I used the bond to check on her must have been what? Two – three months ago.

As I laid down on my bed I reached out to the bond. Lissa was sitting in one of the front row seats in court. Queen Bitch herself was sitting out the front on her throne. Today's agenda seemed to be a new law that would make 16 year old Dhampir's graduate early just so that the royal Moroi get more protection while my kind die. It was barbaric. The majority of the council seemed to want to rush this new law into action while the Princess Evette Ozera, The Princess Ariana Szelsky, Princess Priscilla Voda and some others were not in favour of the new law.

The numbers were close and if it wasn't for that stupid quorum and if Lissa was allowed to vote then the law would not get passed. "Order!" Nathan Ivashkov – Adrian's father – yelled. The entire court went eerily quite. "This meeting is adjourned until we can get more evidence. Meeting adjourned." Nathan's voice rang through the hall. As soon as he had finished talking the crowd erupted into a mass of noise. Until now I didn't notice that Lissa was sitting next to Christian and Adrian. As they were standing up three guardians made their way towards the group. They were my Mum, someone that looked strangely familiar … Oh that's right it's Mikhail Tanner (he used to work at St. Vladimir's before he left to look for Ms Karp. She turned Strigoi to get away from Spirit's madness.) And the final member to the guardians was Dimitri. Good he has never looked so handsome before. Dreaming about his god like looks does him no justice. Dimitri and my mother went to stand next to Liss while Mikhail stood next to Christian. Adrian never has any guardians which is strange since because he is a royal and the Queen's nephew he could get as many guardians as he liked.

"We should head back to your apartment Princess. You need rise early so you can make your appointment with the doctor." My mother told Liss. Wait did she just say DOCTOR! What is Liss going to the doctor for? I quickly searched Lissa's mind for the answer. For the last couple of weeks Liss has been sick every morning, she gets these weird cravings and the mood swings, I better look out for that when I get back. If I didn't know any better I would say that she was pregnant.

Wow, I just felt the darkness inside Liss kick up. When Lissa turned around she saw none other than Jesse Zeklos. The person who tortured Lissa subsequently causing the wards to weaken allowing Strigoi into the academy. Then because of the attack we attempted a rescue mission to save all the people that were taken and most importantly Eddie. To top the list off Dimitri had almost died then we were caught and I was sent away. If there was anyone that I hated most in the entire world it was Jesse. Before I could find out what he wanted I was being shaken back into my own body.

"What?" I hissed at the unfortunate soul that disrupted me.

"Uh … we have to go to the airport now." Tasha told me her voice quivering in fear.

I instantly felt sorry for snapping at Tasha. "Sorry I was just with Liss and took away some of her darkness. I kind of gets to me." I told Tasha sincerely.

Tasha and I headed off to the car and before I knew it we were on the plane heading to Pennsylvania. To say I was nervous was an understatement. The plane trip took so long it was torture. Vitya, Tasha and I rented a car and started to drive to the Royal Court. It would take us another half an hour to get there. As we reached the front gate, Tasha stopped the car and waited for the guardians on duty to make sure we weren't Strigoi. I didn't know the guardian that was heading towards the car.

"Names please." The guardian asked.

"Lady Natasha Ozera, Lord Viktor Dashkov-Belikova and Miss Hathaway requesting permission into the Royal Court." Tasha said politely. I didn't know that Vitya was a lord, who would have he is a Dhampir.

"Thank you. Welcome to the Royal Court." The guardian said as the gate opened for us to enter. This was the start of my life getting back on track. Or so I thought.

Okay so that is the longest chapter I have written with 2396 words, excluding Vitya's POV but that doesn't count because it was three chapters not one. Please review, Review, REVIEW! I hope you enjoyed it.
