OH MY GOD! I have had this story up for barely 5 hours and I already have 79 hits, 3 reviews, 2 favourites and 2 alerts! I LOVE YOU GUYS SOO MUCH!

Oh, and another thing, am I making Rose's personality accurate at the moment? I'm trying, but its sort of difficult.

I don't own Vampire Academy. Unfortunately.

I walked the halls of the Academy anxiously looking for Eddie and Mia, I figured they would help me find Christian. It's been a couple of hours since the incident, and I've been searching for him in vain. I want to find him as quickly as possible, even I admit being afraid of what Christian could do while he's in this state.

With every few steps, another tear falls. I've seen a few incredulous stares so far. I'm never one to openly show my emotions. I brush them away angrily. I'm practically jogging to find Eddie and Mia by now. I turn the corner sharply and send someone skidding across the floor after crashing into them full-on.

"Oh My God Eddie! Are you okay? I've been looking everywhere for you! Sorry 'bout that." I say in an extremely rushed sentence. Eddie gets up and cocks his head slightly.

"What's up Rose? What happened?" he asked, concerned. I wipe away another tear and take a deep breath and explain the situation to him in about two sentences, albeit, long sentences.

I wipe away too many tears than I care to mention. He pulls me into a tight hug for a few seconds. I revel in the brief warmth of my friends hug. He let go soon enough, just long enough to comfort me and calm me a little, allow me to finally think straight. He puts his arm loosely around my shoulder and guides me to Mia's room. I had no idea where it was. He released my shoulder to bang on her door.

A grumpy Mia opens the door.

"What do you want?" she then looked at my face and her demeanour dropped like a sack of potatoes.

"Oh, lord. What happened and how can I help?" I gave her a grateful smile and Eddie explained to the best of his knowledge. She pulled me into an even tighter hug than Eddie had and wiped away another traitorous tear.

"We should split up and look for him." I said once I gathered my wits. "Mia, you take the Moroi dorms and halls. Eddie, the dhampir dorms and classrooms. I'll look in the gym and buildings outside." I walked away without waiting for a response.

I had assigned us to split this way because of a brilliant flashback. I remembered that Lissa had told me that Christian liked to go up to the attic in the Church to think. The memory had both its good points and its bad. On one hand, I now knew where Christian was (hopefully), and on the other hand, I now had guilt and pain washing through me caused by Lissa's actions. I pushed the feelings away and focused on getting to the Church.

I pushed open the heavy wooden doors and they did so silently. As I neared the staircase leading up to the attic I heard heavy crashing. I sprinted to the top in case Christian was hurt. Even though he isn't really a close friend, I still care for him and will protect him if needed, now more than ever. I now see him as a kindred spirit. Feisty, strong, dependable, and now broken.

I shoved the door after remembering that it sticks sometimes. My eyes instantly fell on Christian, who was in the middle of throwing something against the wall. It was a partially broken wooden chair and I watched as it shattered on impact of the cold stone wall. It was then that he turned to the door and slumped to the ground in weakened defeat, but I knew that he could still snap again at any given moment.

I knelt in front of him, not saying anything. After a few moments he spoke, softly and barely heard. "I thought you said there was nothing between them, that she didn't feel anything for him." The cracked vulnerability in his voice was evident. And it was true. I had asked Liss-Vasilisa only days ago if she felt anything for him. She said she didn't and that she loved Christian too much. She and Adrian had been working together with Spirit for months. I realised then that it had either developed within a few days, or she had hidden it from me for a long time. This revelation hurt more than anything. She hadn't trusted me.

"She didn't. She told me she didn't! I swear I didn't know anything about it!" I cried softly but desperately. Painfully.

"Well you thought wrong!" He screamed at me, lunging to his feet faster than I thought possible, even for a vampire. I stood up hastily as well, in an attempt for him to see reason, but I was too late. In his eyes I saw total and utter betrayal.

Even then, I realised this confrontation would end badly. But for him or me I didn't know.

"YOU TOLD ME SHE HAD NO FEELINGS FOR HIM WHATSOEVER! YOU LIED TO ME ROSE! YOU LIED TO ME TO COVER FOR HER! JUST LIKE YOU ALWAYS HAVE! YOU NEVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT YOUR DECIET WOULD DO TO ME NOW, DID YOU ROSEMARY?! DID YOU!"

"Christian! I swear-!"

"YOU JUST HAD TO RUIN EVERYTHING! YOU'VE DESTROYED EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE!" He bent down and picked up the first heavy thing he found. It was then I finally realised that he was no longer in control of his actions. Blinding fury had done that for him. I was too slow to react to the violently fast candelabra pitching toward my head. Even my lightning-quick Dhampir reflexes couldn't have stopped the anger and despair filled object from connecting. I was thrown into the wall beside me when the candelabra collided with the top of my temple. I vaguely remember my skull hitting the wall as I slumped to the floor at Christians feet, unconscious and bleeding.

Please Review with some ideas, if possible, about what to include further in. I'm already running out of ideas.
