Sorry guys, between school, work, youth and reading spirit bound (whisch i still haven't found time to finish ARGH!) I haven't had much free time, my teachers are laying it on for the end of the year. But yeah, no fears, I am still writing and will finish this story and my others. Just might take me awhile, I am hoping to go on youth camp on holidays and have exam block in three weeks, plus work, but like I said, I will find time. XXXX

"Goodnight my Roza, I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too." I whispered back, before falling into a welcomed sleep.

RPOV

I woke up in the morning, momentarily panicked by the feeling of arms around me, but then I remembered, what had happened. I felt as if the wind had been knocked out of me. I had returned. I had actually come back to court, not only that, I had faced my mother, the queen and Dimitri, all in the course of one day. I couldn't believe it. Sure not everything had gone perfectly but apart from my mother disowning met was better then I ever imagined and I imagine a lot.

I sighed, snuggling deeper into Dimitri's arms. There was a lot we were going to talk about. I was deeply hurt by him and nothings ever going to change that, but there was no denying I still loved him or that he loved me. I smiled to myself. Never had imagined that scenario as our reunion, but I couldn't be happy that it was. I couldn't believe how hurt he had looked, it was heart breaking, it wasn't like I felt guilty, he had done that to himself, to both of us.

I couldn't wait to get my hands on the bitch Ozera, I hoped she was visiting for Christmas, just so I could kick her ass. I had once doubted being able to face her in a fight and win, but now there was no doubt, I would annihilate her for causing me, him, us that pain. She had hurt everyone I loved with her little stunt and I was going to make her pay, or at least have fun imagining it.

"What are you thinking so hard about?" Dimitri's voice, thick with sleep interrupted my thoughts.

"Hmm, just everything, a lot has happened in the last forty-eight hours."Gee, that was an understatement. I rolled over to face him.

"Yes, it has." He smiled at me. "So why are you up so early, I don't remember you being a morning person." I looked over my shoulder at the clock it was only just after four.

"Changed my habits." I said shrugging, I was already starting to get energy, I needed to go do my morning training.

"Ow." he seemed a little put off. I leaned up to kiss him then rolled away, getting out of bed quietly. "Where are you going." He asked, looking sad.

"Morning work out, You coming?" I asked, walking into my closet, naked, I might add. Heard him, getting out of bed quickly and muffled a giggle. I slipped on a pair of training shorts and a bra, along with socks and shoes. I came out of my room to find Dimitri, pulling on his shoes, I grabbed a large shirt out of my draw slipping it on as I went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and hair.

"Ready?" I asked, Dimitri stood, nodding. "good." I grabbed my phone, putting it in his pocket and left my room. We exited the house silently, nodding to the guardian on duty as we left. I didn't really know why we needed a door guard at court, but as long as Lissa was safe I was happy.

We jogged to the 'gym' together, happily taking our time, the sun was still out, so there was only a few Dhamprs out and about. The gym was empty just as it was yesterday.

"So what is your morning workout?" Dimitri asked, leaning against the wall as I took off my over shirt and started stretching.

"Usually, 10k's, 100 push up and sit ups, weights then whatever I feel like, usually some work on the punching bag, or some chin-ups." I said, still stretching, I saw his head nod in approval as he started stretching with me.

We trained side-by-side, talking when we could. He told me about his family, he hadn't seen them in years or thought about them much. I could here the longing in his voice when he talked about them, he obviously missed them. I talked too, about nothing in particular, old stuff and new stuff. Turns out he had been in one city only a few days after I had left, he cursed finding out he had come so close only to fail.

A few guardians came in as we trained, turned out early morning training was not that uncommon, there was about fifteen guardians in the gym by the time we were down with sit-ups

"Spar?" I asked him after we had finished doing our reps.

"Sure," He led me into the middle of the gym were a few areas we're marked out we both dropped into fighting stances, facing each other.

"Rules?" I asked.

"None, well, no killing and try to restrain from breaking bones." He said after a minute. I nodded, taking a deep breath I shifted my position slightly, not taking my eyes of him. We moved slowly around the circle, neither of us wanting to make the first move.

His lunged forward, his left fist aiming for my stomach, I blocked with my forearm, sending a kick out. Connecting with his shin, I heard him left out a gasp, as we moved back into our crouches.

I couldn't hear anything besides the pounding of my heart and our breathing. I focussed completely on the task in front of me, as if it was life or death. He lunged and I didn't even think I let my instincts take over, we moved together, as if it was scripted, I waited for the chance to be able to get the upper hand. I saw my opening and took, it, kicking my left foot high, connecting with his stomach, he stumbled back, but I didn't falter. I dropped, sweeping his legs out from under hi, knocking him felt on his back. I heard the air leave his body in a huff.

I took the opening, straddling his waist, placing my hands firmly over his heart. I heard a few people clapping. He was panting heavily, while I was still breathing normally. He looked shocked.

I smirked at him, then looked up, it seems the other guardians in the gym had come over to watch our spar. A few of them looked pretty shocked, which made me smile wider. A man I didn't know offered me his hand and I took it, climbing off Dimitri.

"That was very impressive." Said the man. "I've never seen anyone take down Belikov, and certainly not without being hit. What's your name."

"I'm Rose," I said, shaking the guys hand.

"I'm John, or Guardian Lewis." He said, he looked nice enough, just under six foot with dirty blood hair, he looked to b in his mid thirties. "So do you have a last name or is it just Rose?" He questioned.

"Ow, umm, right. No it's Hathaway, Guardians Hathaway." I said, with a slight grimace, thinking about my mother.

"Ow, the infamous Rose Hathaway." He looked at me, like he was studying me. "Well, can I challenge you to a spar, anyone who beat Belikov, must be good." he said after a moment, looking at Dimitri, who had come to stand behind me, placing his arm around my waist.

"Careful John." Said Dimitri, giving him a warning glance, He just chuckled shrugging it off.

"I'll take my chances." He turned to me. "Well?" He asked.

"Umm, sure why not." I squeezed Dimitri's arm before returning to the mats.

I winked at Dimitri, who smiled at me, before turning to face John, I noticed there were still a few Guardians watching. I slid into a defensive position, John watched me doing the same thing. I wasn't worried, it may sound cocky, but I had been in some pretty rough spots and lived to tell the tale, this guy had nothing on me.

He lunged forward, aiming a punch at my ribs,, I grabbed his arm twisting it around, so his back was towards me, then kneed him in the back. He let out a grunt of pain, and I pushed hard on his arm, causing him to face plant, I pinned him down, face-first to the mat, and placed my hands on the correct spot in his back.

I jumped off, him, hearing him groan in pain.

"I warned you John." Called Dimitri as I skipped over to him. I looked around at the guardians watching.

"Well as fun as this has been we must go." I said, before grabbing my shirt and walking out with Dimitri following me. I could here them talking as we left the room, glad I couldn't hear their exact words.

Dimitri hadn't said a word as we walked back to the house, just followed me like a lost puppy. Finally I turned around to face him.

"What?" I questioned harshly, he looked a taken back. "Why aren't you talking? Why are you looking at me like that? What the fuck did I do?" I all but shouted at him

"I'm not talking 'cause I'm stunned, I'm looking at you like this 'cause you amaze me and as for what you did, do you not know who that guy was?" He looked at me stunned, I shook my head stupidly.

"That was The Guardian Lewis." He said and suddenly I clicked, my eyes widened and my mouth popped open, into a little O.

"You mean..." I whispered, trailing off. He nodded, "ohh," I whispered.

I sat down leaning against the tree. I had just fought, the John Lewis, and won without even taking a hit. I mean this guy was as big a legend as Arthur Schoenburg, if not bigger. I should have looked at his neck, I'm sure I would have seen a heap of marks.

"I just... with the... and I..." I mumbled.

I took a deep breath standing up. "Okay, well that's just," I shook my head. "Well we better be getting back, Lissa, is should be up soon." The sun had set, no rays of light remained and the court was coming to life.

I started walking away again.

"Rosa wait." Said Dimitri, softly, grabbing my arm, pulling my back.

"What?" I shouted.

I was spun around to face him and was immediately met with his lips crushing against mine. He started walking us slowly backwards until my back hit the tree. I used the leverage to wrap my legs around his waist. He reluctantly pulled, when we needed to breath, leaning his forehead against mine.

"Nothing." He breathed, kissing me once more before pulling away from the tree and setting me down. "Now let's go." He said, pulling me in the direction of my new home.

I followed him willingly, still slightly dazed. but smiling.

So I know it's short and not much happened, but I felt I needed to update and some shits gunna happen when they get home, so I needed to cut it off there.

Thanks guy. Reviews are smiled upon, Ideas get you hugs. :D.

Xxoo, hope you enjoyed it. :D
