Previously on Secrets and Guardians and Love Rose's fangs have only just
started to grow. Now that her body's starting to change, she needs blood to
complete the change properly - but first she needed the fangs so she could
drink the blood.

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

Chapter 8

"Rose, you have started feeling thirsty because your fangs have just started
to grow, and your body is starting to change into that of a Moroi." Adrian
told me.

"Ok, so I am starting to grow into a Moroi?" I say.

"Yes you are Rose, when you have changed completely you will have the physical
strength of a dhampir, and the elemental strength of a Moroi; because you have
trained as a Dhampir and you are a very special Moroi." Adrian told me.

"So why can't I tell anyone about me being a Moroi except the teachers "I asked
him.

"Well Rose, there was a prophecy saying that if your parents had a girl there
will be a prophecy about them until they are 18. So that means there will be a
few attacks in the court when you are there, because our great aunt wants us
to look at colleges. Do you want to Rose? But bear in mind that Tatitina
doesn't know you're related to her.

The strigoi will be asking for the Ivashkov Princess, if they don't get you
Rose, they will kill everyone who you love and care for. Even Christian and
myself, so if you tell everyone that you are the Ivashkov Princess I know
people will sell you out. So once you are 18 you can tell everyone and become
Queen and marry Christian who I know you love. You'll be protected and much
safer." Adrian explained to me. This is really a lot to take in.

"Adrian, can you tell me what I'll specialize in?"

"Well Rose, you are a very special Moroi so you will specialize in all the
elements; fire, air, spirit, earth, water and darkness." I nodded. Then we
heard whispers from around the corner. It was Lissa and Mia. The two **.

"I'm pregnant." Liss said. I was shocked and when I looked at Adrian he was
surprised too.

"Whoa, who is the father?" Mia asked Lissa.

"Jesse Zeklos." Lissa replied. OMG. I glanced over and saw Adrian was crying.
My heart clenched painfully at his hurt and so I tried to comfort him. Poor
Adrian.

"Lissa, I can't believe that. Are you sure?" Mia replied.

"I know Mia, I was shocked too, but it's definitely Jesse's. I am going to
pretend it is Christian Ozera's." No she isn't. When I looked towards Adrian,
he had run away. I didn't know where he could have gone, so I went to my room
and sat down on my marble floor which was very cold. I hated this: I am
becoming Queen, I am an Ivashkov Princess, I can't tell Chris or anyone else
and now Vasilissa is pregnant and planning to blame my boyfriend.

It is too much to take in. I absolutely hate this - it sucks. I looked around
my room and a lamp in the corner. I got up and went over to it, picked it up
and threw it against the door repeatedly to release some of my frustration. I
didn't care that it made a noise. Then I heard voices. I just collapsed onto
my bed, tired and worn out. I must have dozed off for a minute, because I woke
up to find II was being shaken. I looked to see who it was, to find Alberta
watching me with concern in her eyes.

"Rose Ivashkov, are you okay?"

"Err...Yeah." Then Alberta looked around the whole place. Then looked back at
me.

"What happened here?"

"Nothing much, I just felt tired."

"So you threw a lamp at the door?" I didn't have an answer to that so I simply
nodded. Then I heard running towards my door. It was Adrian and Christian.

"Rose, what happened in here?" Chris asked me.

"Don't worry about it. I was just a bit tired."

"Rose, I've got to worry about your safety; I'm your boyfriend." I wish I
could tell him, but I couldn't. I looked at Adrian. He still had tears coming
down his face. I was about to go over to him, but Vasilissa came in. What is
her problem? I hate her. I could actually ban her from this world and put her
in the human world. That would be so easier, because she is going to try to
mess up my boys. Yes I did say my boys. She opened her mouth to speak, but
shut it in shock when she looked around the whole place.

"Whoa who owns this?"

"I do" I said.

"Whoa Rose, I absolutely love it. Sweet. I thought only Moroi were supposed to
have good rooms, not Dhampir's. WOW, it looks like your Mum and Dad got money.
Rose and I feel so sorry you are not a Moroi, because it means you cannot hang
around with Moroi. It's the rules and rules need to be obeyed." Whoa, she did
not just try too

ban me from seeing my friends. She is going to get a punch in
a minute.

"Oh really Vasilissa Dragomir? Well I hear you have a secret to tell Chris and
Jesse and the whole school"

"What? How do you know about that secret?" She had a panicked look across her
face.

"I have my sources." I told her.

"Rose, what is the secret?" Christian asked me.

"Well our dear Vasilissa has a secret; she is pregnant with Jesse's baby." I
looked at Christian to see his mouth had dropped open in shock. He couldn't
believe it.

"Is that true Vasilissa?" Christian asked. Liss nodded and then we heard Jesse
calling Lissa's name.

"You better get back to your ** of a boyfriend" I told her.

"I know you have a secret too Rose and I will find it out." Liss threatened
me.

"Really Vasilissa? I haven't even got a secret, but your secret is big. I bet
your parents wouldn't be very pleased to see their beautiful daughter pregnant
and the father the ** boy." She shook her head and left. I glanced round the
room to see Alberta still standing there, she looked surprised.

"Whoa Rose, how did you know that she was pregnant?" Alberta asked me.

"I was talking to Adrian, when we heard voices; it was Lissa and Mia. They
were talking about it." She nodded and left. I turned back to Adrian and
Christian.

"Anyone up for a pizza and a movie?" I asked both of them and both of them
nodded. We ordered and ten minutes later I heard a knock at the door to my
room. When I opened the door, I was surprised to see the pizza had arrived
that quickly, so I paid the man giving him a tip for being so quick. Then I
started to head back to where Adrian and Christian were. I stood out in the
hallway, because they were arguing.

"Do you fancy my Rose?" Christian asked him.

"No I do not like Rose; I like her as a sister." Before Chris or Adrian could
say anything I stepped in.

"Boys calm it."

I got out a movie called 17 again. It was so funny, I loved it. We finished
our pizza and we saw that Chris had fallen asleep.

"Adrian, will Lissa find out?" I asked him. He shook his head.

"No she won't, I promise you." Adrian told kissed my cheek, before I
grabbed a couple of blankets, and we fell asleep too.
