A/N: This is a Vampire Academy fanfiction piece that I wrote and completed over a year and a half ago. So the chapters will be slightly shorter than the length I write at now. I'm bringing it over here from the previous place it was posted because I've 'based' myself here, now. :) I hope you enjoy it, and please review if you do.
Like it says in the description, this is set after Last Sacrifice and some of it is during Bloodlines. So, major spoilers for that and the rest of the series. Anything that happened in The Golden Lily and The Indigo Spell don't have an effect on this because I hadn't read them when I wrote it.
The main pairings are:
Rose/Dimitri
Janine/Abe
Lissa/Christian
Mia/Eddie *Small Amounts
I own nothing in Vampire Academy, sadly, and I'm just playing with Richelle Mead's toys.
Prologue
People say I live my happily ever after. I disagree. I'm Rose Hathaway, guardian and best friend of the teenage Moroi Queen Vasilisa Dragomir-Lissa for short. I'm also the girlfriend of a tall, bad-ass russian god named Dimitri Belikov, guardian of Lord Christian Ozera. Sparky still hasn't got used to that title. But that's beside the point. The point is that while Jill Mastrano Dragomir (Lissa's half-sister that we-Dimitri and I-brought back to court in the summer) is in hiding, everyone seems to think we're living in peaceful luxury, apart from the occasional riot. Right? Wrong.
My first issue is Lissa and Christian. She's always stressing, and I spend half of my time on the royal guard trying to get her to relax. That's why I'm lucky to have so much back up; just in case Strigoi attack while I'm trying to talk her into having a massage in a visit back to court. So, you're probably wondering how Christian's part of the problem. He's spending his days back at court, running some kind of offensive magic club; one that goes on every day, so he rarely emails Liss. Unfortunately for me, I'm the one that gets the brunt of her anxiety. The joys of being a guardian.
The second problem I have is a little more deep-set. Remember what I said back in my senior year about Dhampir-Dhampir relationships being frowned upon by Moroi society? Then you must remember that I'm now in one with Dimitri. Nobody knows we were together at the academy except a handful of people; Lissa, Christian, Adrian... Adrian Ivashkov. He's another problem. Apart from the fact that most people are just waiting for me to do something stupid with Dimitri, I've still not managed to find the time, or the courage, to apologize to him. I can senselessly kill in a Strigoi attack but not face my ex. Great.
And if I didn't have enough to juggle, my parents are stirring things up. And when I say 'things' I mean Dimitri. God only knows what'll happen to him on that hunting trip...
A/N: How was it? I apologize for the prologue being so short, and for it all being a 'block' of writing.
