Sadly, I do not own Vampire Academy or House of Night.

A/N I had a really good day yesterday and this came out, and part of the next chapter, just came so easily to me. I will get into HoN soon enough, be patient. (Like I'm one to talk!) I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 4 Attractions

Rose's POV

I felt her fear before I knew what was happening. Twisted metal. Broken glass. The car crash that nearly killed me. I woke up with a gasp shooting straight up out into the sitting position. In the corner Dimitri was watching me, as alert as he was when I went to sleep. Did he ever sleep? I tried to appear calm but I don't think I did a good job.

Nobody said anything, thank god, but the air is full of so many questions. I leaned back into my bed but could not lay down and enter that day again. Lissa's parents died that night, as her brother. It was one of her reoccurring dreams that I got sucked into every time she had them. Normally I could wake her up and comfort her but no, not with Dimitri keeping us apart.

"I need to see Lissa right now."

Dimitri's POV

"Why?" I asked, she bit her lip. What was this girl keeping a secret?

"I need to talk to her about this dream. It can't wait."

"No," I cocked my head to the side, time to find out what I can. "Unless there is something you are not telling me?"

"Forget it."

But I was not going to let it go that easily. I had to know. "There is something. You know it, Rose I can't help you unless you tell me what's going on." she remained frozen, possibly in fear of something. That's when I figured out why they acted so similar. It explained the odd thing last night too. They are bonded. Just like someone I knew from Russia. "You're bonded to her." Was it possibly the secret that made them run away?

"That is none of your business." She said coldly.

"I saw it, when we first found you. And last night you were with her weren't you?"

Actually I had no idea what it meant to be bonded, but if acting like I was an expert got her to talk than I was willing to do what it took to know everything. The only thing I actually knew about it was you had to die for the bond to form.

"What would you know about it? Are you—are you bonded to someone?" Ah, that is almost a confession!

I was extremely glad my instructors back in Russia made me learn how to mask my emotions because in that moment I wanted nothing more than to laugh, and laugh, and laugh, until I cried. "No, I know someone who is."

I left it at that. The last thing I wanted to do was lie to her. I know it was a long shot but I wanted top get to know her maybe date her. If that would happen I wanted her to trust me not think that I lied to her.

Rose's POV

Damn him! Why did he know so much about being bonded? "Fine, we're bonded."

He nodded, not saying anything else. The silence is comfortable though. "It's four o'clock, do you want to go back asleep?"

"No, but I really do need to talk to Lissa. It's a dream she always has and it scares her." I felt uneasy talking about this but somehow I felt like I could tell him anything.

"What is it about?"

I hesitated, maybe I spoke too soon. "It's about the accident."

He studied my face for a few moments before nodding. "Okay, but I'm coming with you."

I hurried out of my bed before he could change my mind. If he offered the chance to talk to Lissa, who was I to turn it down? Refusing to change I walked out of my room, Dimitri in tow. The guardians tried to stop me but when Dimitri intervened, we were free to go.

I found something...strange...in the whole situation. How did Dimitri know about the bond? Nobody knew about that! But if... if he knew about bonding's then wait a damn second, he knew a Spirit user. I stopped in front of a statue as I realized this. "Who are they bonded to?"

"Mark is bonded—and married—to Oksana."

"I have to meet them." I said, my voice sounding a bit desperate even to myself.

"Rose, they live in Russia."

"Damn." This time he did not try to correct my language instead he chuckled. That gave me all the opening I needed. "So he has emotions! Who would have thought this stoic hot Russian had emotions!" I cheered not loud enough for any nearby people to hear.

"Yes, but I stay under control-"

"Oh don't give me that shit comrade," I saw him open his mouth to either protest or say something about my language. Probably both. "You know you don't want to." I purred seductively. Good thing Dimitri did not know my plan or was able to read my mind like Lissa could.

"Rose-"

"Oh stop Dimitri, I know you want this."

It was hard for me to explain but I felt like I knew him, in the short few hours I knew him anyway. Was it strange I felt like this? I thought it was. Before he knew what was happening, I leaned on my toes, wrapped my arms around his neck (cause let's face it, he was too tall unless his head leaned down to me), and kissed him.

Something happened, something electrical. Magical. It was only a small peck on the lips but he responded to my lips without hesitation. And god did it feel good. I pulled away, smiling, but he pulled me back to him, crashing us together. It did not matter we were out in the open in broad daylight, but it was night for all the vampires. I was still a bit surprised by this. I certainly did not think this would happen in my plan.

"Do you have any idea what you do to me?" he whispered in my ear. A shiver went down my spine.

"I have an idea," I whispered back.

A growl escaped his chest before his lips were hungrily back on mine, this time on a mission. I found myself responding accordingly and a bit too R rated for being out in the open. When our lips broke away to breath, his lips made a trail of kisses down my neck and on my exposed skin, leaving the skin he kissed hot and electrified.

As his mouth came up my neck he stopped and kissed, licked, bit, one spot long enough for a moan to escape my lips. It felt so good! Shortly after, he resumed kissing me until he pecked my lips again. I felt him start to pull away but oh hell no! I grabbed the sides of his face and brought his lips against mine. I don't know how long our tongues fought for dominance, but I was winning, due to all my experience kissing—and various other activities. One of his hands rested on my back, pulling us closer, while the other found the edge of my shirt and slipped under before finding its way to my breast.

All too soon we pulled away completely out of breath before we realized what just happened. Oh my god! I jumped away, shocked and surprised—but certainly not regretting—that kiss.

"You're going to be the death of me, Roza." Roza? What was that?

"Hmm," I agreed. "What are we going to do now?" I meant to sound sexy, but Dimitri took it a different way.

"Nothing we can do. We don't know if you are even a student."

"If I'm not-"

"You will still be a minor. You know this can't happen again right?"

Fuck, fuck, fuck! I tried to hide the hurt his words had on me and went for a carefree attitude. I never was rejected. Almost always I was the rejecter not rejectee.

"Yeah, I know. It's fine, comrade." My voice as cold as ice.

"Rose-" He tried to explain but I knew I could not handle hearing that.

"I said it's-"

Oh my god Rose! Lissa's voice ran through my head. We need to talk, get your ass over here now!

I laughed and Lissa being so demanding. "Lissa calls."

He nodded, remembering why we were out here. I followed him to Lissa's dorms. Why were we in two separate buildings? My building, from what I saw at least, was full of guardians. Inside Lissa's building, however, was almost empty, save for a few girls, with the outline crescent on their forehead, exactly replica of Aphrodite's marks, in their pajamas watch television or in the kitchen searching for something.

Finally we reached her room and I did not bother with knocking. Dimitri sent me a disapproving look. Before I even took two steps in, Lissa bombarded me.

"Dimitri, can I talk to her in private for a minute." I gave him my best puppy dog face, pleading eyes and all, and I swear Lissa used a bit of compulsion. "I promise we are not talk about running away again, this is just private girl stuff." I knew we won when he nodded his head, even if I felt guilty about this.

The second the door closed Lissa would not shut up. "Oh my god! What was that? You kissed him?" she squealed.

"He's hot." I stated simply.

"Yes, but he's holding up her escape."

I shrugged my shoulders, "I know, but at first the kiss was part of my plan of escaping. You were in my mind weren't you?"

She shuttered "Yes, and it was creepy! That's happened to you before?"

"Sometimes. I already told you that. I don't know what's going to happen in this thing. Even if we wanted too, I don't think we have enough time to do anything."

"I know," she sighed, "But this is frustrating!"

I hugged and comforted her until Dimitri came in. "It's five now, you should get ready. They will be here in an hour."

I nodded, half way back to my room, he spoke "I'm sorry."

"Sorry? Why?"

"For kissing you. That never should have happened."

I felt the same rejection as before. Tears threatened to pour out but I forced them away. No way was I going to let him see me cry. Not now, not ever. I did not trust my voice, I nodded before slightly picking up my pace to make sure he did not see my face. I wanted nothing more than to run away from him. Lissa, hurry up. When I get to my room, I'm grabbing my bag and we are leaving. Please.

Her response came automatically, Okay. After we leave you will never see him again.

Damn bond, she was in my head listening to the conversation! But just then I did not care, it was comforting. I took time planning my escape strategy. The door was secure with guardians and as long as Dimitri was not in my room I could climb out the window like other times. But I was not sure how long the drop out of my window was. One thing for sure, I was about to find out.

Ah she's trying to escape again! The question is, will she actually escape a second time? Hmm. Please review!

Thanks for the follows and favs! Have a nice day. :)
