Author's Note: Okay so in my story I changed it up a bit and Rose has never met Adrian until now.

I could feel her emotions so strong right now. Lissa was so afraid what would happen to me, if I'd survive the outside world. The plane is going to land in 25 minutes, and my palms are pretty sweaty. Rumor has it New York has an abundance amount of Strigoi at night. And in the human world they thought the majority of the problems of people are dying and disappearing is because it's just filled with bad people. Although that is true but there is also Strigoi. Powerful ones because they feed on a lot of humans and the Moroi who aren't Royal don't have Guardians.

When I felt a hand on my shoulder I was very startled and it was my instinct to fight almost would've gotten me in deep shit. I looked at the person with the deep emerald green eyes looking at me with a smirk. He had dark chestnut brown hair that was styled in a messy way. He looked like a model, the pale skin and I could tell he's a Moroi. "Sorry didn't mean to scare you," he chuckled, "but this is my seat at the window and you were in your own head for the whole flight."

I laughed to, "pretty cocky aren't you?" He smiled at me.

"I'm Adrian Ivashkov and you are?" He asked inviting himself to the window seat without asking me to move my legs. I rolled my eyes at him and said, "I'm Rose Hathaway."

He sat down beside me with a loud sigh, "so what are you doing in New York?"

I bit my lip hesitantly nervous, "I'm moving there everything was a bust in Montana so that's pretty much it. I don't really have an idea what I'm going to do with my life." I said, and surprised by how much I was open with Adrian.

He looked at me for a second and replied, "Well I would invite you to my penthouse but surely you know not to trust strangers."

I laughed at him, "I might just take you up on that offer. I can protect myself thanks." Adrian laughed to, and I glared at him. "I'll give you my number, maybe we can hang out sometime."

I got off the plane, into the crowd of people. I dived in and just wanted to be alone for once. It felt nice not being known. Adrian was heading off into a different direction, and I ran after him. "Second thought I wouldn't mind staying with you for a little bit." I said a little out of breath.

A smile came at the edge of his mouth, "okay cool."

We headed off and took a cab. It took forever to get past the traffic. During the plane ride I was thinking about all the Strigoi, and forgot what a bitch to live in a place like New York. It was dark already and I just wanted to go to bed.

As soon as I got back to the place I dropped my suitcase and laid down on the comfortable bed. I didn't care about how nice of a place this was, my heart was tearing apart. I hated the fact that a stupid little wit like Mia could kick me out. I wasn't going to let her live without revenge; that's when I get back to the university. I need to focus on my life in New York now and I'm honestly scared as fuck. This is the worst place for a Dhampir to live.

Eventually I fell asleep and didn't realize the timing till my alarm started to beep in my ears. It was loud I turned it off, and looked out at the first peek of the sun shining through the silk white drapes. I had to get every second of the sun I can get before the Strigoi come out.

I got dressed quickly into my clothes. Tight black jeans, and a blue Mango top Lissa bought for me-whatever a top fashion designer would name their clothes Mango, but Lissa said it's important to where more high maintenance clothes to blend into NY. The top honestly looked really hot, and I slipped on my black leather jacket.

I headed out without thinking but I had to get things done today, and I'm not exactly sure what yet. Before I knew it I whipped out my iPhone and checked out a place Lissa told me to check out. Before I left she sneaked into one of the offices that located the private schools and places that guardians were at throughout the world. I headed to Pacha in Manhattan, one of the biggest clubs around.

Apparently a few of the guardians worked there part time. The club is opened all hours. I took the subway this time, it's very stupid but I'm also very impatient. I am Rose Hathaway and after all that has happened I'm golden to protect myself. As soon as I got down to the subway I asked people how to get to the night club in Manhattan, and it's confusing but I know what stop to get off at.

I hoped on the subway and so did a lot of people. I sat down in the back and minded my own business, and watching out to see if there were any Strigoi. I had my silver stake on my inside pocket of my jacket.

But then I got pulled back into the life at the Royal Court. Lissa was talking to Dimitri worriedly, and she couldn't stop clawing her fingernails into her hand. I felt the pain to and it was throbbing. She's going to bleed herself if she doesn't stop.

I listened to there conversation and I checked their surroundings and it made sense to why they were whispering. The two were outside of one of the meeting rooms and there were an abundance amount of guardians talking about me. My heart started pounding hard.

"She should suffer for almost murdering the queen. It was a bad idea to let her head off to a city, we need to get Janine to tell us were they sent her," one of the guardians said.

And another spoke, "or Dimitri. He knows where Rose is."

Lissa looked at Dimitri quickly and whispered, "you wouldn't tell them where Rose is?" A concerned look filled her face.

Dimitri shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know what to do about her anymore. It's more than likely they will find her easy." Dimitri took Lissa and they left from the meeting room. I could feel Lissa's strong feelings and she was going to call me as soon as she's alone.

Tears streamed down my eyes again. I couldn't think of Dimitri right now, I would be stupid if I did. I need to focus on the guardians here. I got up and the door opened for my stop. I stepped off the subway and started to head up for the stairs. It was gross down in the station. Pretty much everything is filled of trash laying on the cement.

Everything is different in Manhattan. All the buildings are over 20 stories high and the reflected glass of the dark grey sky. This is crazy how the sun could be shining out, and the next minute clouds hovered. It could rain anytime. I would be screwed; the Strigoi would come out.

It wasn't longer then twenty minutes when I got to the club, and it was colossal. I walked in to the crowd. Music is playing loudly. I headed to the back door that is probably one of the places where the strippers and employees were. I looked around passing the sweaty dancing bodies. This is the place that never sleeps I guess, and that's why people have nothing better to do during the day than clubbing.

Finally, I got to the back and asked around for a person Kate. The guy lead me to a room and knocked on the door, "Kate you got someone who wants to talk to you." He left me and I waited till she finally opened the door with a smile.

"Can I help you?" She asked kindly walking out closing the door behind her.

"Umm, I'm a guardian that just moved here. I was wondering if I could talk to one of the people in control of the NY guardians?"

Kate paused for a minute thinking. "Lets go inside," she said leading me into her room.

I got inside and it was a dressing room, but that's not what caught my attention. It was Adrian, and he had a smirk on his face, "hey little Dhampir."

"Adrian what are you doing here?" I asked shocked.

"What do you mean, this is my place I hangout at," he still had that dirty smile on his face.

I kinda laughed, "in the morning."

Kate interrupted, "okay you guys we got more serious things to deal with."

My phone started to ring and I picked it up. I looked at the both of them and said I needed a few minutes. It was Lissa on the phone and she started talking worriedly. "Rose you can't go to any of the guardians. They're gonna come after you for nearly killing the queen. I know you didn't but you gotta move and change everything."

I paused for a second, "Lissa too late I'm already here. And I can't fucking be by myself, this is New York. You know what the Strigoi here are like, really powerful." I said angrily but not at her, she's only trying to help.

"Please listen to me for once. This is very serious. They're going to get the truth out of Dimitri one way or another, and he's not exactly team Rose right now."

Kate walked towards me with a confused look, :"are you the girl who almost killed the queen?" She asked.

I said to Lissa that I had to go and I quickly turned my phone off. I shook my head, "fucking no way." I could also tell she didn't bought it. Adrian is listening to.

"A sweet little Dhampir like her wouldn't do that."

"Actually you are, aren't you," Kate said dialing her phone.

My body started to react fast. My instinct told me to fight. So I did and before she dialed the whole number, I kicked her phone and it flew across the room. Kate swung at me and I dodged her attack. Next I ran towards her grabbing her sides and slammed Kate against the ground. I picked up her body and knocked her out, although it wouldn't be too long.

I gave Adrian a quick glance and ran out into the crowd.

Sorry it's been a year long. I will try and write more chapters more on. I got a better plot line and I hoped you enjoyed. Please review. :)
