AN: Hi guys, sorry I haven't updated sooner, school stuff :)

Chapter 9 - Figuring it out

Lissa POV

"BLOCK!"

"DUCK!"

"ATTACK!"

I groaned and fell back on the floor, this was so frustrating! I've been a natural at fighting and now suddenly, I'm useless

"I'm sorry, Comrade. I don't know what's up with me today"

Dimitri half smiled and sat down next to me "What's on your mind, Lis?"

"Maybe...maybe I'm just distracted because of the Rose and Christian thing last night. I was pulled into her head when they were about to...to..." I shivered physically, I couldn't finish

I watched as Dimitri put the pieces together "Is that why you were panting?"

I nodded, looking down. He tipped my chin with his finger so I was looking into his eyes

"Lis, why didn't you tell me?"

"Because it's embarrassing! Not something I really wanna share, Comrade" I promenaded over to my gym bag and slung it over my shoulder, lingering in the doorway.

Dimitri advanced over to me "Lis, you know you can tell me anything"

I sighed and nodded, almost feeling guilty that I didn't tell him. Almost. I kissed his cheek and sauntered out of the gym. I could practically feel Dimitri's eyes burning into me

I reached first class and felt Love and security through the bond. Rose, she must be with Christian. I shivered at thinking about her and Christian, after last night I don't want to think about them ever again

I slipped in the seat next to Mason, he gave me a smile and wink as the teacher started

Turns out it was Alberta "Okay Class, I know this isn't how your usual class would be, but today we're doing something different. Today we are doing some more work on Striogi"

The class erupted in chatter and shrieks

"OKAY! Calm down. We are not actually bring Striogi in here of course, but we think that Dhampirs need to be more experience in knowing about them and not just fighting them. Today you will be studing the way they think, where they can and cannot be and most importantly, how powerful they are. Goodbye" And with that, Alberta marched out of the room.

Just then I noticed Guardians lined the walls, Including Dimitri. His guardian mask wasn't budging. I turned and started chatting to Mason

"Mase, what do you think about all of this?"

He grinned "It's great! Finally some extra knowledge!"

I raised my eyebrows in surprise. This was going to be a long lesson. I can't wait until lunchtime

Roses POV

"Okay, class. Today we are testing our elemets, again. I know we do it a lot but we all think it is best to perfect them as it may help you later"

The class cheered, it gave them a chance to talk to their friends. I was actually excited for once as it gave Christian and I a chance to test whatever mine was out

I turned to him, I just felt so connected. Ever since we had sex last night, I just felt like we were attached, It felt so right. He smiled at me, feeling the same

"Okay" I breathed, trying to get the cloud of lust out of my head "Should we try and test whatever my element is?"

He nodded, lust bouncing in his crystal blue eyes "Yeah, It might not be just dead things. Here" He picked up a dead plant and put it before me, also shielding me so the rest of the class wouldn't see "Make this alive again"

I breathed in deeply and touched the plant. The burst of life shot through again and the plant sprang up. Christian's eyes widened

"Rose, I think their might be a rare fifth element"

I looked up at him "Christian, I'm scared. This is weird. What if people think I'm a freak and send me away somewhere?" I felt like I wanted to cry. Why couldn't I be like everyone else?

Christian pulled me into his chest, stroking my hair. I hugged him back tight "Baby, It's okay. I will never let them take you away. Do you hear me? Never" He promised

I nodded and felt so much Love for him. He pulled away "Wait one second" He strolled up to the teacher and asked her something, she scowled and reluctantly nodded. Christian smiled his breath taking smile, I swear the teacher blushed. He walked back over to me and took my hand, leading out of the classroom

"Baby, where are we going?" I asked a bit confused

He slipped his arm around my waist "To the library, we're going to find out what your element is"

I smiled.

We reached the library and got a thick book on elements. Nothing. Then we found a book on St. Vladimir. He could heal things too!

I scanned the words "It says his element was...Spirit"

"It also says he had a shadow-kissed person named Anna" Christian added

"Do you think that's what I have, Spirit?" I hoped it was. Finally I would be able to find out

Christian nodded "Looks that way. We should look more into it though. I wonder what shadow-kiss means?"

I wondered that too. We spent the rest of the time until lunchtime looking into my element. Although it was good finding out things, it was nice just to be with him too

Lissa POV

I walked into the lunch room with Mase to see Eddie talking with Natalie. Well, so glad she's decided to join us again.

"Hey" Mase and I greeted

"Hi guys!" They greeted back

"Where's Rose, Lissa?" Natalie asked. Still a suck up

I looked around, where was Rose?

"I don't know, Natalie. She should be here soon" I tried not to panic and checked the bond. Phew, she was okay. As if on cue, she and Christian entered the lunch room, hand in hand and smiling. They were In deep conversation about something, they sat down at the table whilst everyone else greeted.

"Hey, guys" I started "Where have you two been?" I asked but it was specifically directed at Rose. I could tell she was hiding something. That was proved when she looked at Christian before answering. He nodded in conformation.

"The library" She smiled. She was still hiding something

"Rose, can I talk to you for a minute" My smiled was forced. She nodded, looking guilty and followed me over to the corner

"Rose, what's going on" I said in a harsh whisper. Around us, people sat and chatted with their friends

Rose looked around at everything but me "What, N-nothing Liss"

"Rose!" I urged

She sighed "I'm so sorry Liss. I wanted to tell you, I just was a little scared. Last night, I did something to Christian"

Oh god. I hope this wasn't going where I thought it was cause I really didn't want to know that

"I healed him"

Okay, that I didn't expect. "What?! Rose, you know we are never supposed to talk about that! Especially here, and now Christian knows?!"

"Liss! Christian is my boyfriend, I love him and tell him everything! We went to the library and found that I haven't specialised because there is a rare fifth element that no one knows about called Spirit"

I couldn't believe this "Spirit?"

She nodded "Yeah, it's what Ms. Karp and had and also...he had a shadow-kissed partner named Anna"

"What's shadow kissed mean?"

Rose shrugged "I don't know, that's what Christian and I were trying to find out"

I looked over Christian, he looked as worried as hell, I think knowing how angry I can get sometimes

"Well, we better get back over there. Your boyfriend looks like he going to pee his pants over worrying about you" I laughed and she smiled

"So, what about your boyfriend?" Rose wiggled her eyebrows as we walked back over

I shrugged "I dunno, It's going okay, I guess" I realised the words as they came out of my mouth, were me and Dimitri okay?

Rose frowned a bit. We sat down and she kissed Christian. He arm snaked around her waist, pullin her closer and she rested her head on his shoulder with a smile

Do you wanna talk about it later? I heard come from Rose. I nodded discretely and smiled

"Hey, Rose! Daddy is taking us all shopping outside school grounds! Isn't that exciting?!" Natalie exclaimed, practically bouncing out of her seat. By daddy she meant Victor Dashkov, he was also Rose's uncle. Unfortunately he is very sick and doesn't have long

Roses eyes widened and she squealed "Are you serious?! This is SO cool! Liss this would be so fun we can buy so much stuff!"

That's how I was automatically invited, much to Natalie's displeasure.

Christian spoke up "Well, you guys have fun at your girly...shopping thing" He smirked

Rose turned to him "Wait...your not coming?"

His eyes widened and I laughed "Nooooo waaaaay! What guy wants to be around squeaky girls and get dragged to multiple stores?"

Rose pouted, something she can win anyone over by "But, I'll miss you to much"

Christian tried to look away but the effect was too strong. Finally he gave in "Fine! I'll come. It's just too hard to resist that cute face" He said, kissing her

"That's...why...I do...it" she said between kisses

Mason made a disgusted face "Ew, guys get a room" They broke apart laughing.

Mason POV

"Ew, guys get a room" I said but really, I thought it was sweet. I looked at Lissa. She was so beautiful.

"So, when is this shopping trip Natalie?" Lissa asked

"Saturday" That was two days away.

Just then the bell rang.

"See ya, guys. We got gym" I said and Lissa and I exited

"So, what do you think about this shopping trip, to girly for you?" I teased

She laughed and rolled her eyes "Nah, I think it'll be good to get out."

We got to the gym doors and she stopped "Oh, and Mase? Just in case I kick your ass in there, just know now that I love you, okay?" she winked

I smiled "I love you too, Liss"

She entered the gym doors and I fell in her suit. Even though she might not have meant it in that way, it still meant a lot to me.

Christians POV

YES! Curfew is two hours longer today! That means more time with Rose.

I was trapped in my own thoughts when I heard a knock at my window. What the hell? I'm on the third floor

I opened it and Rose slipped in

For some reason I started laughing "Oh my god, Rose what are you doing?" I was practically falling over laughing

Rose started laughing too and sat on my bed "Curfew's longer today, and I wanted to see you, Guardians were all around so I decided to climb through the window"

I smiled, sitting next to her and kissing her deeply. "Okay, baby. Wanna watch some Disney?" I teased. Her eyes lit up and she grinned. That made me laugh so hard. She looked embarrassed

"I-I don't like Disney" she blushed

I decided to tease her bit "Really? So you would rather me put on Chucky 3 than Snow White?"

She looked scared but nodded. I kissed her lips and put Snow White in the DVD player

"YAY!" She squealed and I raised an eyebrow "Okay, I love Disney" she laughed

(Another Lemon)

"You might be a bit distracted" I whispered to her and I felt her shiver. Lust clouded my mind as I was sure it had done to hers, I slowly trailed kisses down her neck and started sucking where her shoulder and neck joins.

"Christian..." she moaned and I felt my pants go bigger

In the background Snow White sang

Our cloths were in a pile on the floor and I lay her under me. I travelled down to her core. My tongue licked her and she moaned loudly

"You taste so good, Rose" I whispered whilst still licking her and she moaned even louder.

I nipped and sucked and bit, she was practically screaming. I feel her nearly coming over the edge and kissed my way back up to her mouth, exploring it like I did to her core.

I ground into her then entered her slowly whilst still kissing her. I moved faster

"Oh god, Rose!" I groaned

She flipped us over and rode me hard and fast. My hands fell to her hips and we moaned in unison

"Rose!"

"Christian!"

We reached together and she collapsed on top of me and kiss my lips

"I love you" I whispered

"I love you" she whispered back

The love was so high that I could drown in it

"Snow White has bit the poison apple already?" Rose said

I laughed "I guess I really did distract you" I wiggled my eyebrows. She laughed and kissed me.

We got dressed and continued watching, with a bit more distraction. After about an hour, Rose said she had to leave to go and meet Lissa. I didn't want her to go

I hugged her to me "I don't want you to go" I said almost whining

"I love you so much, Christian. See you later" she winked, kissing my lips and waltz out the door.

Man, I miss her already

I turned to the screen just as the handsome prince kissed Snow White. Maybe Disney isn't that bad...wait what?!

Well, Rose will always be my princess

Roses POV

I skipped up the stairs to Lissa's room. I felt great, Christian makes me feel great.

I knocked, hopefully she would be out of training with Dimitri

She was, she opened the door and her face lit up when she saw me.

"Rose!" She hugged me

"Hey Liss. I said we'll talk later and now we will. We are best friends and we need to communicate more. Or, AKA gossip" I laughed, sitting down on her bed and she sat across from me

"Okay, what's going on with you?"

I just shook my head "No no no, Liss, you first. What's going on with you and Dimitri?"

She sighed "I don't know Rose! I don't know what's going on with him! First he's all nice and then he starts telling me he'd rather not see me! I just don't get it!" She broke down and started crying into her hands, I hugged her tight, It was so weird, Liss never cried, that was me

"Shhh, it's okay Liss"

"He just such a dick sometimes" she mumbled

"Just talk to him, ask why he's being so hot and cold. Don't be harsh, just be calm. Okay, Liss? It'll be okay" I soothed. She pulled back and nodded.

"Oh, now that's done. What's going on with you, Rose?" Lissa asked, wiping her eyes

I was little concerned, wondering if she was okay. But I decided if she really wanted to talk about it she would

I smiled "Well, Christian and I had sex for the first time yesterday" I blushed

She didn't look as shocked as I thought, she just laughed.

"Good for you two, was he an animal?" She teased

We spent the rest of curfew talking and laughing. Just catching up. But eventually I had to go. Damn

Lissa POV

Rose left. I thought about what she said, about how I should talk to Dimitri calmly. However, calm was not my nature. I fell asleep, looking forward to giving Comrade my lecture

AN: What do you think? Thank you for all the reviews :)
