CHAPTER 11 IS HERE!
I'M SO SO SO SO SOOOO SORRY! *Throws everyone a virtual cookie*
I've been so busy, I haven't had time to finish typing this. Ugh, I'm in the middle of exams. It sucks so much.
Anyway, I GOT A WHOPPING 71 REVIEWS FOR THE LAST CHAPTER. OH MY GOD YOU GUYS ARE JUST…. WOW. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! *Throws everyone virtual cookies and bows down to feet* could you do it again? Hehehe.
I've been helping my grandmother babysit my little cousins and my sister a lot too. Ironically enough, my grandmum's name is Rozy (pronounced as Rosie) and out of the 5 cousins I had to babysit, one was 4-year-old Lysa (pronounced as Lissa) and her elder brother, 10-year-old Christian. Not to mention my 10-year-old sister's name is Natasha. Weird huh?
I know, 10 years old and still needs to be babysat? Well, he (Christian) broke each arm at least 3 or 4 times before so his parents are most definitely not going to let me be alone till he reaches like 16 or something. I think it was 3 on his left arm and 5 on the right. I can't remember. He's an…adventurous little dude. As for my sister, she's just stuck with me.
I got pee-ed on by a 3 year old who couldn't control her bladder for some reason, farted on and almost puked on by my 1-year-old cousin while babysitting. It makes her giggle uncontrollably whenever she farts. Yeah, I have no idea either. All I know is that if she giggles and then runs away, I better cover my nose. Usually she clings on to me all the time.
Well, I have talked too much. I just finished this and I have no time to check it so I'm terribly sorry for any mistakes I made. Grammar, spelling etc.
I'm also sorry if this seems a little bit rushed but it's the best I can do right now. Sorry!
Disclaimer: Characters? Nope, not mine. Richelle Mead is the real genius.
Oh and I have sort of a…sneak peak if you would call it? At the end of the chapter:)
Chapter eleven.

All I could see was his eyes. They weren't very hard to decipher though. They had the same look I had. A look filled with-
"Okay, thank you for volunteering." Sophia placed a hand on my shoulder. "Now, let's give the next volunteers a try eh?"
I blushed. "Oh, right. Yeah. Well, let's go." I turned to Dimitri who offered me his arm. I took it and we both made our way off the stage.
"Do you want to get something to drink?" Dimitri asked me.
I nodded and allowed him to lead me to the punch bowl.
When he was filling our cups, I just had to ask him "Where do you get those pick up lines? They seem very...un-you like."
He laughed. "I told you girls were after me. A few would use pick up lines."
"Ah, no wonder. I was wondering where those pick up lines came from your tiny little brain." he raised an eyebrow.
"I may be pea-brained but you actually have a pea for a brain." he mumbled and I smacked the back of his head. He laughed and passed me my drink.
We walked towards a less crowded area near a glass door. I was silent as a few people came up to Dimitri and made small talk. They chatted and I remained quiet. I know, Rose Hathaway? Quiet? Impossible. It's bound to happen sometime.
I could hear another couple throwing pick up lines at each other on stage. What the lady said made me laugh.
"Let's do a role play. You're the boss, I'm the employee. You give me a raise and I'll give you one." she wriggled her eyebrows suggestively.
I laughed hard. Damn, why didn't I think of that? I diverted my attention back to Dimitri and his friends.
When all his friends left, he passed me his drink and told me that he had to go check something out. I nodded and he was out the glass door in a flash.
DPOV
I went out the glass door to check that small area behind the trees. Not a lot of people knew about it and I hoped that no one would be there tonight.
I used to go there all the time when I was here. It was a place where I could be alone and think. Heck, I never even brought Tasha there before.
I started to think about my feelings for Rose. Maybe I do love her. But am I sure? Should I tell her? What is she going to think?
But I can't help it. I mean, nobody told me I had to kiss her, but I wanted to. Sometimes I can't help it. Maybe I really am in love with her...
They say that when your brain tells you something, your heart says another. Guess what? They're right. My brain tells me that I should never fall in love with her. Tasha has always been the better option. She can give me kids, make me happy, get along really well with my family and she's been my best friend for years. Falling in love with your best friend. Sounds nice doesn't it?
But she can never make me forget Rose. She can't make me feel that tingly feeling I get when I'm around Rose. Or that electrifying touch. She can't make me just want to kiss her like I do to Rose. My heart says...that I love her.
I walked a little further towards the trees and...there it is. A little meadow with a bench placed right in the middle. When I looked up, I could see the clear night sky and all the sparkling stars. Perfect.

Dimitri came back soon after and was standing outside the glass door. He motioned for me to go outside. I walked towards the door and pushed it with my butt since I was holding the two cups. It wouldn't budge and Dimitri was laughing from the outside. I turned to give him a death glare and he pointed to a sign on the door.
"PULL."
I felt like slapping myself for being such an idiot. I tried to grip onto the handle while holding the drinks. I probably looked like an idiot judging by the look Dimitri was giving me. He was laughing uncontrollably. I shot him a death glare as he reached out to pull the door open for me.
He tried to hold back his laughter. Key word here being tried. I passed him his drink and smacked the back of his head.
He downed the drink and tossed the plastic cup in the nearby trashcan. I did the same.
He simply laughed and placed a hand on the small of my back and led me to...wherever we're going.
He led me to the boarders of the academy. He told me to close my eyes as we walked towards the trees. I looked at him as if he grew an extra head. My eyes closed? There? Was he crazy?
He shot me a look and I shot a look back. He sighed and covered my eyes. I simply played along.
One hand was covering my eyes while the other was wrapped around my waist, leading me to where ever we were going.
I decided to irritate him. "Are we there yet?"
He chuckled. "Nope."
I waited three seconds. "Are we there yet?"
He laughed. "Nope."
Two seconds.
"How about now?"
He grumbled. "Nope." he was being patient. Damn.
Three seconds. "Now?"
"Nope."
"How about now."
"Shut up."
"Are we there yet?"
"Zip it Rose."
"But are we there yet?"
He groaned. "No."
"My grandmother can walk faster than you and I don't even know her!"
I heard him groan once again.
Three seconds. "Are we-"
"ROSE!" he screamed.
"WHAT?" I screamed back.
"Will you walk in peace?" he begged.
"Fine."
Four seconds.
"Are we there yet?" I annoyed him once more.
"I thought you agreed to shut up?"
"I did. For four seconds. Yes, I counted." I stuck my tongue out at him.
I could practically hear him roll his eyes. "Your mouth is like a chicken's butt."
"What?" he compared my mouth...to a chicken's ass?
"Have you seen how poop comes out of that thing? It's non-stop. Its like forever open, with poop coming out." he explained.
"So let me get this straight. You compared the words coming out of my mouth, to the amount of shit coming out from a chicken's ass?" I tried to raise and eyebrow but as usual, I failed miserably.
I heard him laugh. "Yup." he replied, popping the 'p'
"So in other words, kissing my just now was like kissing a chicken's ass?"
"What? No I mean- well, what I was-" I cut him off.
"Did you feel anything slime-y and disgusting? You know, chicken's poop?" I laughed as he groaned once again.
"Shut up Rose."
"Are we there yet?" I asked once again.
"ROSE!" I laughed out loud.
A few moments later, his hand was no longer covering my eyes. I peeked to see where we were.
My jaw dropped open. It was beautiful. It was sort of like a meadow. It looks...wow.
I looked above to see the shining stars. They were twinkling brightly in the night sky. It was breath taking.
"Twinkle twinkle little star..." Dimitri hummed.
"What are you doing?" I questioned.
"I have no idea. I spent too much time with you. I'm losing my sanity." he smiled.
"I'm glad I have that effect on you. Soon, you'll be sitting on a hospital bed, in the metal institute, singing 'Humpty dumpty' and then laughing uncontrollably afterwards." I smiled back.
"Sounds like you have experience Hathaway. That explains so much." I rolled my eyes.
He walked towards and old looking wooden bench and motioned for me to follow him. I did and sat down beside him.
We were quiet for a while and I looked at my surroundings. Who knew a place like this can be so beautiful. The only other place I've seen this was in Dimitri's unfinished tree house but this is...this is just...wow.
Dimitri unusually became silent. I turned towards him to start a conversation. "So, you brought me here obviously to do something or to say something, whatever. What can I do to you?"
He laughed. "Excuse me?"
And then, I just realized what I said.
"I mean for you. What can I do for you." I corrected myself. 'What can I do to you' wow, that was embarrassing and freakishly gross in so many ways. But on the other hand, I have seen him half naked, I wouldn't mind seeing the- INNER ROSE, SHUT UP.
OKAY. Awesome, I'm talking to myself. Wonderful.
It reminds me of a math teacher I used to have. When he was angry, he'll tell himself this "Anger, I know you're there. Please go away. Thank you." STEEEEEERIKE ONE.
"Stress, I know you're there too. Please follow anger and go away. Thank you." STEEEEEERIKE TWO.
"Happiness? Are you there? Can you please come back? Thank you." STEEEEEERIKE THREE and his sanity just went out the window.
Well, at least he said please and thank you.
"I brought you here to tell you something." Dimitri interrupted my train of thought.
"I was thinking a lot-" Now I interrupted him.
"Dimitri Belikov? Thinking? Wow, good job. I never thought you had it in you." I grinned and gave him a pat on the back.
He rolled his eyes and continued. "As I was saying, I've done a lot of thinking and I realized something. If you were to ask me say, last week, this would probably have never crossed my mind. To be honest, I've never felt something this strong before. I mean-"
"Cut to the chase Belikov."
"I just want to say that...well...I think..." he paused.
"You think..." I urged him to go on.
"Well...oh heck." He grabbed my face and pulled it to his till our lips touched.
Electricity shot between us and there was that buzz sound in my ears. I responded almost immediately. It felt almost natural that I did.
I felt his hand sneak up to my hair and get tangled in my locks while the other was securely around my waist, pulling me closer, locking me in my current position, as close to him as possible.
My own hands had a mind of it's own while one was getting lost in his hair and the other was hooked on his neck.
From a soft and sweet kiss, it escalated to a lot more.
Before it could go even further, he pulled away and leaned his forehead against mine.
"I have to tell you something." he said, breathing heavily.
"I'm in lo-" he was cut short by the screaming coming from the academy.
The both of us stood up and whipped around. There was another piercing scream and then I felt nauseous.
"Strigoi" I breathed out.
We pulled out our steaks and darted towards the academy.
What I saw, I've only seen once before. Back at St. Vladimir. Everywhere I turn, guardians fighting, novices helping the best they can, Moroi running and screaming. But what I noticed first was the large group of pale skinned, red-eyed vampires. Strigoi ambushing the academy.
I ran towards a guardian fighting off three Strigoi by himself and staked one easily. I had the element of surprise.
He looked at me thankfully before kicking one of the Strigoi in his ribs and staking him immediately after that.
I continued fighting the two Strigoi coming after and staked them easily. Training with Dimitri had its advantages, especially in times like this.
I quickly stole a glance at Dimitri to see him talking to a bunch of Moroi, giving them instructions. What the fuck was he doing?
The Moroi nodded to whatever he said and balls of fire appeared on their palms. Fire users. How could I forget that.
I ran towards them to help them out a little. All they had to do was to light a spark on each Strigoi, long enough for them to be distracted so that we could stake them.
I ran towards the Moroi just in time for Dimitri to scream, "Go run and help the guardians. Remember, distract them and we'll do the rest. GO!"
The scattered quickly and two stayed to help Dimitri and myself.
We ran towards a group of Guardians, clearly outnumbered by the Strigoi they were fighting.
The fire users lit a small fire on each one of the Strigoi, enough for them to be shocked and scream. Perfect. We staked them no problem.
The same routine continued for God knows how long until most of the Strigoi are either dead on the ground or retreating. I breathed a sigh of relief and then realized I shouldn't because I got hit on the head from the back and knocked out.
The last thing I heard was Dimitri screaming my name.
Anyway, that's it. Please please PLEASE review?
It's nice to know what you guys think of the story. So please please please?
*CHANTS* REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!
Now, I'll tell you guys what's going to happen about…three chapters later…I think. Cause I haven't actually written it yet. Hehehe. That chapter will be told in Dimitri's POV and Rose will get high. Really high. I guess you can say it's the medication the doctors gave her. It has it's side effects…and they involve Rose saying some crazy stuff. Here's a little sneak peak.
"Rose, are you feeling okay?" I was curious about her. Before the three words left my mouth, I had to know if she's…sane. And no, those three words are not "Let's get naked."
"Chicken butt." She said randomly. What the?
"What?"
"HEY! It rhymes! You know what rhymes with honk? HONK. Put them together and you'll get HONK HONK." She giggled and pinched my nose as she screamed "HONK HONK!"
Note to self: Check if the doctor gave her an overdose.
Another part of the chapter:
"Idiotsaywhat! She mumbled quickly.
"Huh?" I did not catch a word she just said.
"Stupidsayhuh!" She mumbled quickly again.
"What?" I asked, wanting her to clarify what she just said.
"Damn, why can't you get it right?" She complained. "Say what?" she ordered.
"What."
"Chicken Butt. IT RHYMES!"
