Previously On Secrets and Guardians and Love

I was thinking through the information that Adrian had told me earlier. That
I
am a Moroi and Adrian is my brother. But I was scared because I might become
the queen.

Chapter 7

I woke up and I found out that Christian's arms were nice and warm. I feel
like I actually love Christian, but I have no idea if he feels the same as me.
I mean, I know that we told each other that we love each other; but maybe he
only said it in the heat of the moment. I sat up, and moved out of Christian's
embrace, watching as he snuggled up to the pillow. I giggles quietly; it was
so funny. I got my clothes I wanted to wear. I went into the bathroom and put
on my clothes then makeup; lipstick, eye shadow, mascara. I gave my reflection
one more glance before re-entering the bedroom to see if Chris was awake yet.
He was.

"Hey beautiful." Chris greeted.

"Hey Chrissy." He was adorable.

"Are you alright?" I kissed his cheek. "Baby I need to go and get changed." I
groaned. "I will be back." Chris told me.

"Okay, I'll come and find you in a little while." I kissed him once more on
the lips before I left. I knew I had to go to the teachers. I walked up to
front of the Ski Lodge. I saw Alberta and ran up to her.

"Hi Alberta." I greeted.

"Hey Rose." Alberta replied.

"I have something I really need to say. But first, I'm asking you to please
keep your mind open to all possibilities and not judge me." I told her.

"Okay, what is it?" Alberta asked me.

"Well, I am a Moroi" She gave me a look, and then dragged me to the infirmary.

"Hello my name is Danni." Danni greeted us.

"Hello Danni. I know this may sound slightly strange, but could you please can
you do a blood test on Rose to see if she is a Moroi." Alberta explained to
her.

Danni nodded and took me into a small side room before getting me to lie down
on the bed. She got a needle attached to a blood bags and one of those things
that raises your blood pressure. She wrapped the bandage around my arm before
she pumped it up so that the pressure increased in my arm. I had to flex and
relax my fist a few time so she could find the vein. Once she did, she told me
to stay still. I nodded and took a deep breath as she swabbed the area before
sliding the needle into the main vein in my arm. Immediately, blood started to
fill the bag. Once it was full she removed the needle and place a small cotton
wall bud to the place where the needle had been to help stop the bleeding. She
showed me how to apply pressure to help prevent any bruising before letting me
know that the results would take 1hr.

After she had finished Alberta came into the room with some
water/orange/apple? Juice and some biscuits. "You need to eat and drink
something to stop yourself from fainting from the blood loss."

I nodded and started to eat.

"Rose, please can you tell me how you think you are a Moroi?" Alberta asked
me.

"Adrian told me."

"Adrian Ivashkov?" I nodded. We were talking about things. Then Danni came in;
I hadn't realised that the hour had passed so quickly.

"Well the blood results are back." Danni said. "And they show that Rose you
are in fact a full Moroi." I nodded.

"Thank you Danni. But can I please ask that you keep this private. No one else
is allowed to know."

She gave me a small smile and nodded before leaving the room. "Of course Rose;
doctor patient confidentiality."

"Well Rose, it looks like you are going to be getting a guardian rather than
being one."Alberta said. I groaned.

"Sorry Rose." Alberta said.

"Alberta, there's one more thing. I am an Ivashkov." I told her.

"Well you are gonna need 4 guardians then."

"Ok. But like with Danni, can you not tell anyone; because I have to keep it
a secret until I am 18. Then I can tell everyone." She nodded. I finished off
the rest of my water/juice and left.

I really wanted to know why I lived without the blood. Why had I only just
started being attracted to it? I walked around the Ski Lodge trying to find
Adrian, and then I found him outside smoking.

"Hey Bro." I greeted Adrian.

"Hey sis, you are alright?" Adrian asked me.

"Yeah I am ok. I just want to ask you something."

"Just the one? If I was you, I'd have millions of them."

"Ok, can you explain to me how I lived without blood for the past seventeen
years? Why have I only just started feeling 'thirsty'?"
