Hey guys , yes , eht's soo overdue and I don't have an excuse other then I CBF . My bad . Here eht is .

Chapter 8. Rose's POV. Feeling for Christian .

I felt for my brother. I really did. I was shocked Lissa and Mason had started going out so soon after she and Christian broke up. It had only been three weeks ago.

"Chris. Stop!" I called. He didn't listen.

"Christian Ozera! STOP!" I yelled. He stopped dead in his tracks. He hates his last name.

"What do you want?" he said sharply. I flinched.

"I know she moved on pretty quick-" I started.

"Pretty quick?" he asked and laughed humorlessly.

"Three weeks. May have been the next day. It probably was. I don't even know why I came back. I think I should go home," he replied.

"And what would the point be in that?" I asked.

"At least I wouldn't have to see her-them," he answered bitterly.

"And what would that teach you about becoming a Guardian?" I said. He shrugged.

"Fuck all. I don't know if I even want to become a Guardian," he told me. I gasped.

"Tell me you're joking!" He shook his head.

"I'm not. Why would I want to Guard some bratty Moroi who doesn't give a fuck if I die?" I was absolutely astounded. This was coming from my brother. The one I had trained with my whole life.

"Christian. They come first. That's how it goes. It's always been like that and always will. Why can't you deal with that?" I asked him.

"What has that got to do with me not becoming a Guardian or not?" he asked. I groaned.

"If you are seriously asking me that, then don't worry. God, you can be so stupid," I told him.

"Rose, you are getting more confusing as you get older," he replied.

"And by the looks of things, you're getting dumber," I retorted. He gave me the evil eye.

"Look, I don't want you to throw away your future because your ego is hurt," I said.

"I'm not throwing my future away. Mum made it in the human world," he replied. I noticed that he ignored my comment about his hurt ego. Typical.

"Mum failed our people. She ditched them. She was a great at what she did and she threw it away for money. I don't want to see you end up like that." I told him. He nodded.

"Ok," he said simply.

"Ok, what?" I asked. He sighed.

"I'll stay," he answered. My heart swelled. My brother was going to actually finish off something he started. Something he hasn't done since Dad left. I hugged him. He tapped me a few times and I let him go.

"Rose!" called a new voice. I looked to the direction the voice was coming from. Lissa and the boys were standing there.

"I'm going to my dorm," he said and sulked off.

"Is he going to be ok?" she asked. I looked at his retreating figure.

"Eventually," I replied. A pained look came over her face.

"C'mon. Let's go and introduce Dimitri to Eddie and Mia," I said, grabbing my boyfriend's hand.

Dimitri's POV. Sick of secrets .

Lissa, Mason and Adrian followed Rose and I to one of the dorms.

"Dorm 100, is it?" Rose asked. Lissa nodded.

"I think it is," she replied. Rose knocked on the door. A brunette guy opened the door.

"Whoa, my dream come true. A hooker knocking on my door," the guy grinned. Rose grinned back at him before turning to look at Lissa. She stopped smiling and cracked him fair in the nose. I heard the crunch.

"Oh, you mother fu-," he started.

"If you finish that sentence, I'll give you a nice back eye to go with that," I growled. He gave me and Rose an evil look and slammed the door on our faces. Rose turned to Lissa.

"Ok, let's try 101?" she suggested.

"That was a pretty mean punch, Rose," Mason grinned.

"I thought so, too!"

"Can I ask who that was?" I asked. A hateful look crossed Rose's face.

"Jesse Zelkos. God, I swear I burn every time I look at him." I was about to ask why, but was cut off by her knocking. A short, blonde doll-looking girl opened the door. She took one look at the girls and started jumping up and down with Lissa and Rose.

"Rose! I heard that you came back, but I didn't believe it!" she exclaimed. Rose stopped jumping.

"Why not?" she asked.

"Because of the reason you left?" she said questioningly. Rose looked to the floor straight away. Great, another secret.

Oh , Please R&R ! XD XD XD
