Again thank you to sarahhathawaybelikov-x and missa27 for the favourite. And also to KrisIvashkov25 and Taiora-AAML-Serena-Darien who reviewed again.
I decided to upload the dream anyway because I couldn't figure out a chapter without having it. So this is the dream.
I have also decided that I am not going to update again until I get five reviews for this chapter, so if you want more chapters you'll have to leave your comments!

With my final thoughts of Dimitri I thought it was strange that I would dream of Adrian. I wanted to have my usual, what I call 'sexy dream' about Dimitri, which was weird considering I had vowed not to think about him, but obviously my subconscious didn't want me to dream about Dimitri because Adrian popped up.
I took in my surroundings. I wasn't at the ski lodge but I was at some sort of resort in the mountains. The scenery was beautiful I had to admit. The mountains in the distance were the typical snow capped ones that you see in movies but there was a slight mist descending over them, making them look even further away than they were. Below me, I could nothing but snow; there was no vegetation, no people, nothing at all, just a vast expanse of white. I was standing on a balcony that was coming from a large master bedroom I didn't recognise. There were French doors coming from the room, they were wide open, allowing me to see the king sized bed situated near the door. I walked towards the room and gently touched the filmy, white curtains that hung in the doorway, I'm not sure why I did that but I was curious about where I was. It felt so real
"Like it, Little Dhampir?" I spun around and saw Adrian leaning against the balcony rail. He was dressed similarly to how I saw him earlier with his jeans, tight sweater and expensive looking leather shoes.
"Err where am I?" I asked
"My aunt has a small resort in the Swiss Alps. I always liked coming here as a kid, thought you'd like it to." he replied, taking out a cigarette and lighting it.
"Yeah, but this is my dream. Why would come to a place I didn't know?" Now I was seriously confused. This is my dream, right?
"It's my dream now." He said with a wicked grin spreading across his face as he looked me up and down. I shivered.
I looked down at what I was wearing and I could see why he was staring at me like that. I was in a party dress. A very revealing, body con party dress that stopped just above me knee, it was strapless and had beading around the waist, making my breasts look even bigger.
"Hey, Ivashkov my eyes are up here." I said, pointing at my face. He was totally undressing me with his eyes.
"What can I say; I know what makes you look good." He laughed, finally looking into my eyes again.
"Ok, whatever you say." I walked towards him and stood beside him facing out towards the mountains.
"So, you told Vasilisa about you dating me?" I looked up surprised. This was a strange twist to our conversation.
"Woah there, amigo. We are not dating, just because I'm going to that dinner with you does not mean that we are dating." I said, turning to face him, leaning my left side against the rail.
"Ok then. But does she know?"
"Why do you care if she knows or not? She probably won't even care." I lied shrugging my shoulders to try to give a nonchalant impression.
"You're right. Why should I care? Why should I care whether you're best friend knows about me? Why should I care that I might potentially ruin my already tainted reputation by turning up to a royal dinner with a novice dhampir?" he said, his eyes wild and his expression fierce.
He paused, waiting for me to reply I think. But I couldn't. For once I was speechless.
"I care because if the Dragomir Princess appears to approve I don't have to worry about turning up with you."
"If you were that bothered why did you even ask me?" I practically shouted at him. He did not want to get on my bad side, dream or not.
"You're right. I shouldn't have asked you. I shouldn't be here." With that the balcony, the mountains, everything disappeared and I woke up in my room, Lissa's steady breathing beside me.
What a strange dream. It was almost as if it was planted in my sub conscious. But it was only a dream. They're not real. It still made me uneasy though.
I looked at the clock and it said I still had a couple of hours until there would be any activity around here. I got up anyway and decided to go to the gym that was here at the lodge. I dressed in my workout clothes deciding to shower after wards. I packed some other clothes in a bag along with my essentials and headed out.
The gym was over the side of the resort to where mine and Lissa's room was. I enjoyed the walk though, the cold air helped to clear my confused thoughts. I know that I was a dream but it didn't feel like my dream. Adrian said it was his but I didn't believe that.
I entered the gym and started to do some warm up stretches that Dimitri had shown me in our sessions back at school. This gym was maxed out with different exercise equipment; some looked like some sort of torture devices so they were the ones I avoided. I opted for the treadmill and ran the equivalent of 8 miles. I was half way through doing some weights, Dimitri always made me do these as well as the running, when the man himself walked him.
"You're about early this morning, Rose." He said in his sexy accent. He stood across from me and started to do his own stretches.
"Yeah, well I had a weird dream. I needed to clear my head." I said, not looking up at him as I continued my reps.
"So when you're at school you can't turn up on time to my sessions, but when you're on vacation you can get to the gym early?" he asked amused.
I scowled. "But at our training sessions I hadn't had to see a Strigoi massacre." I know it was a blatant lie telling him I had a dream about the Badica house, but maybe that would shut him up, I didn't want to talk him. He had betrayed me by even considering guarding Tasha and not staying with me. Well staying at the Academy where I could 'admire' him from a distance.
"Rose, you know you can talk to me about that. You don't have to suffer in silence." He said, making his way towards picking up some weights of his own.
I stopped mine and stood up, staring my warm down stretches, I didn't want to go but I didn't want to talk to him either.
"If I wanted to talk to you about it I would have done by now." I snapped.
He looked shocked and I immediately felt bad. I shouldn't have done that. Guardians get reassigned all the time, I told myself, why was I getting so worked about Dimitri's possible reassignment?
"Look, I'm sorry I snapped at you. It's just I have my own way of dealing with things. Besides I have Lissa to talk to."I said, finishing my stretches and heading towards the showers before he could reply.
The shower relaxed me. I shouldn't have snapped at Dimitri and I should be enjoying the time I have with him. Wait, what was I thinking? I don't want to think about Dimitri, I wanted a distraction from Dimitri. Hence Adrian. But here I was wanting to be with him? So much for clearing my head.
I finished my shower, put on my skinnys, t shirt, hoodie and Uggs and walked back out to gym.
Dimitri was still there. He was jogging now on the same treadmill I had used. I walked passed him and out of the gym. I had no idea what the time was so I headed back to my room to dump my stuff and go and get breakfast.
Lissa was awake when I got back. She told me that her, Christian and Jill had made plans for breakfast and I was welcome to join them. I agreed and we headed out. Hopefully I won't see Dimitri or Adrian. I was already confused enough as it is.
Confused? Probably not, but I did confuse myself a bit if I'm honest with you.
Remember, I want 5 reviews before I upload another chapter. So get to it, friendlings!
