So guys I have some exciting news!! Someone wants to translate my story!! How awesome is that?!?!
I think its way cool!!
Thanks for all the great reviews, and all my amazing readers.
Lissa and I walked across the grounds toward the commons. I was seriously hungry! I did have a long night last night. I smiled at the new memories I have of me and Dimitri. As we neared the commons my stomach let out a huge growl. Which made me and Lissa both bust out laughing. As we walked into the commons I saw Christian sitting at our usual table. He looked unusually chipper this morning. Liss should have gone and seen him if she wanted someone happy! Ugh maybe she had.... maybe that's why he's so happy. Ew.
"Hey babe" Christian said as we got to the table.
"Hello darling" I replied, knowing it would piss him off. If I was in a bad mood, I wanted to take everyone I could with me. It worked because he just glared at me. "Aren't you going to greet your girlfriend?"
"Rose, leave him alone, its still early" Lissa says with a giggle. "Morning" She says to Christian, giving him kiss on the cheek. He smiles at her. Well so much for his bad mood. As his got better, mine got progressively worse, because at that moment Adrian came walking into the commons.
"Little Dhampir!" Adrian greeted me happily.
"You are aware that I have a name, right?" I ask him irritated.
"Yes, but I prefer having a name for you that is all my own. It lets you know how special you are to me." I make gagging noises, which makes Christian chuckle, and Adrian give him a mean look,
"And how very original you were" I tell him sweetly.
"Come on guys, it's still early, and you have all day to annoy each other" Lissa said disapprovingly to us. The three of us smiled at her, and she shook her head. "What am I going to do with you three?" and walked away. We were in for a long day.
Surprisingly I actually had fun. Although I would never tell them, I enjoy hanging out with Christian and Adrian. Well most the time. Christian and I were actually a lot alike. When the day finally came to an end, I said my goodbyes, and left guest housing. We decided to watch movies at Adrian's, because his suite is huge, and has the biggest TV. Figures, royal snob.
As I was walking back toward my dorm, I felt someone come up behind me, wrap a hand around my mouth and pull me into the shadows of a building. I only struggled halfheartedly, knowing who it was. I could smell him, and his hands were blessedly familiar to me now.
"Now Roza" He whispers in my ear, turning me around and letting my mouth go "What if I were a Strigoi, that wasn't a very good fight you put up"
"Well, for one I knew you weren't a Strigoi, I can sense them remember? And secondly, no Strigoi smells that damn good" I tell him seductively. He smiles and brings his lips to mine. It feels like we have been apart for so long, when in reality I had just seen him last night. Then I remember why I didn't see him today. I pull away from him to give him a scowl. "You said last night we had practice today. Then you send Lissa to tell me we don't. What did my mother say to you?"
He looks skeptical but answers after a slight pause. "She just thought I should know the repercussions of hurting you..." He looked a little worried, "or your future as a guardian. Which is why I canceled practice this morning. I needed time to think about how I was going to do things now. I understand your mom completely, I don't want to do anything that will mess up your future as a guardian. If people find out about us, that might happen. I thought about trying to stay away for a while, but we both know how well that works" I smile at him "so I figure we just have to be extremely careful. We can't let anyone see us together, other than in our 'teacher, mentor' roles. I know it is going to be hard Roza, but I can't let anything endanger you're future." I knew he was right, but I hoped this didn't mean we had to stay away from each other all the time!
I was about to tell him that when I felt a rush of fear, and confusion coming through the bond from Lissa. I slipped into her head automatically and saw her running towards the Dhampir dorm, looking for me. I slipped out of her head just as she was almost to where I was. I stepped out of the shadow in front of her.
"Rose, what are you doing standing outside.." then she looked behind me and comprehension filled her face. "Oh, now I see" she tells me.
"What is it Liss? What happened?" I ask, a little frantic.
"Uhh, I just got a phone call....."
"From who?" Dimitri and I ask together.
"The Queen.... We're going to court...."
Sorry so short guys, but i had a crazy long day. I will do better tomorrow! I promise.
But I think that I want to bring Abe and Dimitri's family into this story. I think they play a vital part in both Rose and Dimka's lives. I'm just not sure how I want to do it yet!! Any ideas?!?
Oh and Janine and Abe are still winning the OneShot. I will probably leave it up for a couple more days before closing it, but I will start writing it!!
