Dimitri stepped closer, and every step he took made my heart race. It wasn't that excited feeling of him being close to me anymore. It was the feeling of his badass side coming out on me, and well, I didn't quite want that right now.

He got up to me, this time his face had a hard unreadable expression on it. I would love to hear what he was thinking right now, but I couldn't even comprehend words, more the less figure out what he was thinking. Dimitri and I knew each other, that's why we clicked so much when we first met, the reason we fell for each other, but things where different. He went for Tasha, and even though I knew he still had feeling's for me, I knew that he would never love me and express it. The thought of that made my heart ache.

He stood a foot away from me now, and his hand lifted up to brush the hair that was covering the vampire bite. And boy I could here it coming, how this was all my fault and I should have never gotten into that situation. Bull shit, I never wanted to get into that kind of situation, it was forced onto me.

"I can't believe this," he finally spoke, his words where short and choppy, and his fingers moved to rub the two slits in my neck. It burned a little, but I wasn't going to minor pain affect me.

"I didn't mean for this to happen Dimitri!" I blurted, I instantly shut my mouth.

"You mean this was forced on you?" He used the word forced like he didn't believe it, like he couldn't believe it. My chest tightened.

"Yes, it was forced, I was kind of out of it when it happened. Then I realized that he was drinking from me, and I tried to get away, but I couldn't…" My words faded off, and a bundle of tears ran down my cheek. I wasn't trying to purposely cry to make him feel sympathy for me, I actually couldn't even help it.

"Was the guy a Strigoi?" He said, his words still bitter. His face was deep with concern, but it filled with hatred. Hatred for the guy that drank from me.

"No, I'm sure of that. He was a Moroi, his name was," My mind blanked, then I remembered, "Vigo!" I exclaimed, "His name is Vigo, he was one of the Moroi that I met Adrian and I went to St. Poel's."

Dimitri relaxed a little bit. Knowing that the guy wasn't a Strigoi probably relaxed him, but he still stayed sharp. His deep eye's where burning fiercely. The disappointed look in his eye's hinted that he was still mad at me though.

"Rose," Dimitri sighed heavily and then continued, " it is your fault for getting into that kind of situation in the first place. I told you, you shouldn't go messing around with Moroi. Some aren't all that, well, friendly."

I knew he would say that.

"I didn't mean to get into that kind of situation, it just fell on me, like without me knowing." I rolled me eye's. Was he really going to believe a drunk pleading girl?

" If you hadn't been drinking tonight would you had been drank from?"

I wanted to scream, scream so badly, I couldn't even stand it. It wasn't all his fault why I had so much stress in my life, but he did contribute to it a lot. So much, my mind murmured, and he doesn't even know it. My tears had dried up and I looked him straight in the eye. Then I realized something. What was going to happen with Adrian?

Like he could read my mind, Dimitri spoke, "Does Adrian know about this?"

"No," I spoke, defeated.

There was nothing Dimitri could do, nothing. Because you can't just go around in the world beating up on Moroi.

"Where is Vigo at now?" His words still short and bitter.

"I believe at St. Poel's still. He's probably trying to get more from another Dhampir girl."

His face fell short, and he gestured me to do something.

"Come," Dimitri said, "where going to have a chat with Vigo."

Dimitri happened to find a car with a set of key's, because the instant we got in we took off. My mind was a little more than disoriented, but I could still tell what's going on. I also felt weak, very weak.

Speaking of things that are not helping in my life, I could feel Lissa, really feel her. She was with Christian, having more well, romantic stuff. I was fucking sick of it. She had no problems' in her life, and it felt like I was the freaking Pope, trying to stop Hitler. I'm sorry for the explanation, I'm just drunk.

We got to the bar, and Dimitri barked at me to stay inside, but after he got in, I instantly stepped out. He was going into a bar like some kind of god, well, besides the fact he was going to beat the shit out of some guy.

I got in and it was like the whole placed centered on Dimitri and Vigo. Dimitri had his hands coiled up, tugging on Vigo's shirt. Vigo was nearly off the ground when Dimitri dragged him outside.

They got outside, but Dimitri had to yell at all the people coming and watching the people, the instantly shut the big mouth's and went back inside. Now it was just Dimitri and Vigo.

"Did you feed from the Dhampir girl?!" Dimitri raised his voice. I'd never seen him lose control like this. It scared the hell out of me.

Vigo nodded, and Dimitri, threw him down on the ground. His fists still balled and red.

"You, ever, touch her again, and you will be answering to me. And trust me, it will hurt." He made the last words sound like venom, then he told me to get back inside the car.

"I've never seen you, like that." I chose my words carefully, not wanting to make his bad mood even worse.

"He deserved it. He should be labeled as Strigoi." His mouth was in a tight line.

My heart raced, one from being scared shitless and the other from his well nice side. He had gone all the way out here to beat the crap out of the guy that hurt me. I smiled and Dimitri looked at me questionably.

"What?" He asked, his voice lighter than before, but still not in a good tone.

"Thank you for what you did, I mean it means a lot to me, and all."

He smiled, and I felt my heart flutter, I could make him smile, and that just brightened my day.

We drove back to the academy. I something just occurred to me, 'it's so weird how they have a bar in the middle of nowhere' I thought. But my heart still span in little circles from that smile he gave me. I lived for those smiles.

He walked me back to the dorms. It had to be about four or five, because no one was awake. Something instantly popped up in my head.

"You should be heading back to bead, I bet your exhausted," He said, concerned.

"I am, but can that wait a sec'?" I whispered.

"Why?"

"Just close your eye's," I told him, he did, and I brought my mouth up to his.
