I don't own Vampire Academy, Ms Richelle Mead does.

It was 9pm; Moroi morning.

"Dimitri and Sonya, could you take me to see Rose please?" I asked them both.

"For goodness sake! There you are! Lissa had been looking for you like crazy! Come with me!" said a Moroi boy who was probably the same age as me. He had icy blue eyes and black hair. He was obviously a Royal; either a Lazar or Ozera. He dragged me by my arm.

Dimitri and Sonya didn't even save me. They just watched this boy take me.

"Rose, there you are," said a soft voice.
It was the Queen.

"Queen Vasilisa Dragomir." I bowed.

The Moroi boy snorted. "Why the formal bow?"

"Because she's the Queen?"

"She's your best friend. And what's up with the accent? Speak properly."

"Sorry I'm late," called a new voice which sounded similar to my own.

The Moroi boy and the Queen froze.

"Rose?" called the Queen.

"Yeah?" said the girl and I in unison.

"Who's that with you?" asked the girl.

"It's you," answered the Moroi boy before stepping away from me.

"What?"

She stepped into the light and saw me; vice versa. It was Rosemarie.

We looked exactly the same; appearance and all.

"Christian," she said to the Moroi boy, "where did you find her?"

"I'm a person, not an animal," I snapped. She was talking as if I were a stray animal.

"She was with Dimitri and Ms Karp."

"Let me explain," I suggested as the Queen and Christian looked between Rose and I.

"Please, call me Lissa," insisted the Queen as we all sat in her lounge of the Royal Chamber.

I nodded and began to explain about how our mother and father split; which caused them to split us apart; how I was brought up by dad and her, mum.
"Wow. That is amazing," she said as she strolled toward me and hugged me. "It's nice to meet you sis."

"You too," I replied as I stood up.

"One of you, I could deal with. But two, I don't know," moaned Christian.

"Shut it, you," said Rose and I in unison.

"You two ARE twins," he said, smiling.

"What's your name?" asked Lissa.

"Rosalie Hathaway."

"Are you serious? Rosemarie. Rosalie. They're so similar. What the hell? And lemme guess, you both prefer Rose? " asked Christian.

"Yup," we both replied at the same time.

He rolled his eyes.

"So, what are you here for?" Rose asked, her eyes never leaving my face. "And may I ask what accent you have? It's like music to my ears."

I smiled. "I'm here for the hearing of Adrian. For the position of being his Guardian. And I have a NZ accent."

"Adrian's Guardian did you say?"

I nodded.

"Have you met him before?"

I nodded again. "We're kind of, dating."

Rose's eyes widened. "What!"

"My battle goddess," said Adrian as he walked in, giving me a quick kiss. "Cousin, Christian and Rose," he nodded.

"Battle goddess? A little cheesy, don't you think?" asked Christian.

"Probably is but you should have seen how she took down Eddie. The whole school was talking about it. Epic is the only way to describe it."
"Where are you staying?"asked Lissa after she congratulated me.

"My house," said Adrian, grinning. "Now, let's head back there?" he asked me.

"Ok," I answered. "See you all later," I called back as Adrian lead me out of the lounge and into the dark.

His house was beautiful.

"I need a kiss," he said once we stepped inside.

"Not in here. It's too public and I don't want the maids to see us."

"My room?" he said eagerly.

"Let's go."

His room consisted of a huge white bed, a wide view of the court, and velvet couches.

We started off with gentle kisses which quickly turned hungry. His hands became entangled in my hair and my hands were running up and down the skin of his torso. I tugged at his shirt, resulting in him once again, obediently removing it. I undid the belt of his pants, hinting him to remove it also. As he removed his pants, I removed my shirt and like a professional, he undid my bra, one handed. He must have done this with other girls. I didn't care. I just wanted to do it.
We dived underneath the sheets on his bed, kissing and removing what clothes we had left.

This was it.

I stared into his eyes the whole time. He whispered my name repeatedly. My hands couldn't get enough of him. They began to dig into his back in attempt to pull him closer to me. The feel of his body on mine felt right.

When we were done, we decided to cuddle up against each other. Lying on his chest was soothing as I felt him inhale and exhale.

"I think I love you," he whispered in my ear before nibbling on it playfully.

"And I, you," I replied, before kissing his chest and drifting off to sleep in this wonderful wonderland.

I was woken up by the touch of lips on mine. Adrian was obviously trying to wake me up.

"Yes?"
"Are you hungry?" he asked.

"Um, not really."
It was sunny outside. We had slept the whole of the night.

"What do you want then, my sweet, sweet battle goddess?"

I thought about it for a while.

"You," I answered and just like that, we were kissing again, not needing to remove any clothes as we were already naked.

This time, it was me saying his name, over and over again.

My tongue ran over his sharp fangs as we kissed. This seemed to excite him.

We cuddled again, facing each other. It was very early morning for the Moroi.

We ended up showering together, stopping to kiss one another up against the shower wall.

Finally, Adrian and I went to the cafe in the Court's grounds to get some breakfast.

We sat down across each other with our coffees separating us.

"Wow!"
"What is it?" I asked, sounding worried.

"You do love me," he said as he caressed my cheek. "I can see it in your aura. It's shining like the sun. You do love me."

"Maybe," I replied, looking down and blushing furiously.

I felt embarrassed. We had only met a few days ago and I already had strong feelings for him.

Was I falling too fast for the boy?

"Your rosy cheeks make you seem more beautiful than you already are. And hey," he said as he lifted up my chin, causing me to stare into his eyes. "Don't worry. If you could read my aura, you'd probably see that it's brighter than yours. Probably due to the fact that I love you more."

I smiled.

"I'm afraid that I might wake up in Clarence's, realising that this was a dream. That you're a dream."

The hearing came and went. My test results were amazing, resulting in me being the best Guardian in the trial. Adrian's choice was the deal breaker and he wanted me.
Some people were wondering why I'd ditch Lissa for Adrian and once the 'Twins' story was shared, they all understood.

I hugged Adrian for a long while whilst the jury stared, obviously holding back comments.

We walked out of the Courtroom and into the darkness, hand in hand.

"YOU DOG!" Rose screamed as she punched Adrian in the stomach. "You are such an inconsiderate son of a bitch! Jill can't block you and your emotions out and you know it! But still, you decided to sleep with her. Almost TWICE.

Shit. I had forgotten about the bond.

"It's my fault," I admitted.

"She's only 15 for God's sake!" she yelled at Adrian. She obviously hadn't heard me.

Rose punched Adrian again. I snapped.

I pulled her back by her hair and I threw a hard punch to her face.

"She winced and held her nose. "What the hell!"

"It was my fault we slept together. Not his. I could've said no."

"But he tempted you, didn't he?" she asked, her eyes never leaving Adrian.
I looked over at him. He was clutching his stomach and cowering on the ground, begging for Rose and I to stop fighting.

I tried to turn this situation into my fault.

"I tempted him."

"He knows what he should and shouldn't do!"

Rose seemed to be trying to find any reason to hurt Adrian. I studied her expression carefully. One emotion seemed to be radiating off of her immensely. Envy.

"Rose, are you jealous?" I asked slowly, making sure every word was said clearly.

"NO!" she answered quickly.

"You still have feelings for him."

"No! I love Dimitri!" she protested as she kicked me in the ribs. A sickening sound filled my ears and a sharp pain surpassed the feeling in the left side of my body.

Don't give up.

I stood up straight, ignoring the pain. The bitch tried to kick me again and this time, I was ready. I caught her flying leg and swung her onto the ground. I tried to restrain her.

"Stop fighting me, Rose. Please stop."
"NO!" she screamed. "Adrian has to learn his lesson. He has to pay and if you continue to protect him, I'll take you down too.

She punched my jaw.

Shit. I spat out blood.

Suddenly, I was overcome by a blind rage.

"If I lose a tooth—"

I sat on top of Rose, punching her face over and over. Blood spluttered out of her face.

She continued to punch me in my stomach.

Suddenly, strong hands pulled me off of her.

"Leave me alone!" I screamed as I pounced back onto her. She needed to pay.

"Come here!" she called to me.
The hands pulled us apart with a stronger force this time, sending me into the brick wall of the Courtroom.

The stars above my head began to spin. Round and round. I could feel a warm and sticky substance underneath my neck and in my hair. It smelled coppery. Blood. My blood. Adrian and Dimitri's talking faces began to go in and out of focus. Someone was holding my hand. A tingly sensation rippled through me and I closed my eyes, suddenly feeling very sleepy.
