Disclaimer: I don't anything from Vampire Academy, just the characters I have created and the plot I have created!

It was the Russian God, Dimitri, that came running into the room. For the first time in my wrecked day, I was glad to see him. But I was even happier when I saw him panting, struggling for breath, stalking into the room, looking more madder than a bull does when it sees red. He took one look at me and then set his murderous eyes on Stan.

Adrian walked up to me. "I'll be right back." He whispered, grabbing this plush blanket and throwing it around me to cover myself.

Adrian ran over to where Dimitri was beating up Stan. Both Adrian and Dimitri got some good punches on Stan. When I looked over, Stan was bleeding a lot. Dimitri cracked the window open and he threw Stan down the window. Oh, hell. I hoped Dimitri didn't get take to jail because of it.

Dimitri didn't seem satisfied with Stan falling down the window. He ran outside, whispering "He is going to die tonight!" while he went.

I gave a sob. This was really scary. Adrian remembered I was here. He ran to the bed, where I laid half naked. And hugs me…and for a moment I just hung on.

"Are you okay, Rose?" He asked, his eyes softening for me.

"Yes," I said, a sob forming in my throat. Why did Stan want to do this to me? Why me? Why not someone else?

"Rose…" He gathered me in his arms and started walking out the door. As I took each painful step, a tear slipped out of my eyes. It felt like I was riding an emotional rollercoaster. I felt mad, sad, and overall weak, weak because I hadn't done anything to help myself. I was glad I had Adrian's strong, supportive arms around me or else I would have fallen to the ground and stayed there until someone picked me up.

"I don't understand; why did he do this to me?" I asked, wiping some tears off my face.

Adrian wiped one of my tears. He was being so gentle with me. He started removing the hair that was sticking on my skin, off my face. "You are a beautiful…it would be hard for any male to resist you."

Great…now this guy thought I was beautiful. Tears leaking out of my eyes, snot all over my face, and this guy was saying I was beautiful? Wow…he was sure something. Something special. Something—or rather someone—that I could spend the rest of my life with, waking up in the morning when our children walked in nosily into our room.

What the hell are you thinking, Rose?!

"Thank you." I said to Adrian's comment. And then I started crying again.

"Holy crispy cattle! What happened to Rose?!" Jade asked as soon as she saw them walking, with a worried look on her face.

"That damn bastard tried to rape her!" Adrian spurt out.

I saw Jade's face hardened, hate filling every inch of her face. "Stan?"

Adrian nodded, just as pissed off as Jade.

"That bastard…" Jade said. "Adrian, take Rose to your room and care for her. Our father needs to know about this. We can't let this keep on happening."

Adrian nodded and said, "Come on, Rose. We are almost at my room."

I nodded, letting him lead me forward.

We went into the guest housing building, we had to go up some stairs and then we took an elevator to the second floor. The doors opened and he grabbed my hand and led me forward. He was so gentle with me. I loved him for that.

He took out a set of keys out of his pocket. The keys dangled as he unlocked the door to his room. He opened the door and I walked inside. A couple of guardians dressed all in black were standing in the room.

"Guardian DeMasters and Guardian Willett, go watch Jade's room. I want absolutely nothing happening to my sister." There was tone of authority in his voice.

A guardian nodded and then spoke. "Lord Ivashkov, I will stay here and watch for you. Guardian Willett can go watch over Jade."

"Do what you think is best, Guardian DeMasters." Adrian said, coming back to me where he had left me standing near the couch. He hugged me tight once the guardians were out the door. "Rose, how are you holding up?"

Blood and torn up…well not so great. "Um, I think I'll go back to my room and shower." I started to walk to the door. "Thanks for taking care of me."

"No! Wait! Wait!" He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to where he was standing. "No, wait. Where do you think you are going?"

I looked at him, confused. "To my room?"

He held me back. "Noo…. You are staying here, until I feel it's safe that you can go back to your room." He looked around. "There is a shower in my room. You can shower here. In the safety of my room." His caring made me want to tear up again. "Come on, my room is over there."

I followed him. "There are fresh towels in there and I'll try to get you some of Jade's clothes." He said and left the room.

(God, I wish Adrian was my husband…Don't you?)

I wrapped a towel around myself once I was done removing all blood stains and stains off of my body and I went out of the bathroom. But as I walked, I happened to pass by a mirror. I admired myself in the mirror. There were bruises all over my face. If only I could go to Lissa so that she could heal me. What were people going to say when the noticed my bruises?

I just decided to forget about everything and walked out to his bedroom. I saw a pair of small spandex shorts and a shirt that I am sure belonged to him. He probably had made Jade go do it, but there was a fresh pair of underwear lying next to the shorts and shirt.

I got dressed quickly and after I was done, there was a soft knock on the door. "Come in." I called out, sitting on the bed that was way too inviting.

Adrian smiled when he saw that I was better. A shower always relaxed the tensest of muscles. Sure enough, it relaxed and calmed me down.

"Are you better?" He asked, sitting on the other side of the bed, looking straight at me.

"Yeah." I looked at him seriously at him. "Why do you care so much for me?"

"Well, because I care for you." I didn't understand the double meaning in his words now, but later, I understood all too perfect. I don't know why he was feeling those feelings towards me because he had just met me like a month ago. This was just too weird.

I didn't really know what to say. "Do you?"

He nodded. But then he changed the subject. "You sure you're well?"

"Yeah…" I said, bringing my knees up to my chest and resting my chin on them. I felt too fragile right now. I needed something to bring up my spirits and make me forget about the incident earlier.

I was on his bed, and he sitting on the edge, when there was a whimper from somewhere else in the room. I tried raising an eyebrow at him. "What is that?" I asked, getting alerted and scared that it might be the kidnapper again. I was scooting as far away from the door way as possible. The scooting made me closer to him.

He smiled at me, though it was half hearted. "That would be my son."

I was shocked shitless. He had a son. Figures. No female on this planet could resist this man. Too bad. "Son?" I asked, making him clarify that he had a son.

He nodded and started walking out the door. "Yeah, my son." He left and then came back.

I started laughing when he set his son on the bed. It was a Shih Tzu puppy. This was my first real laugh of the day. The puppy started running to me and started licking my face. It made me giggle. It was always good to have a pet that cheered you up no matter what, a pet you could rely on no matter what the situation.

"Well, Rose. This is my son Alta Baxter Ivashkov." He said, looking at his puppy.

I started playing with the puppy. He seemed to really like me. Then he started growling at me, playfully; he bit my thumb. I teasingly bit his ear; that is why they had taught is to do if you were training a dog. "Wrong, Alta, I am the pack leader."

Adrian laughed. "Hm…my son does like you very much…and we were looking for a mom for him…" he let his voice trail off.

I grabbed the puppy's jaw. "You want me to be your mommy?"

The puppy barked once and started playing around again. "I take that as a yes." Adrian said, smiling at me. For a moment, we caught got in each other's eyes. Still smiling, I turned back to the dog, the butterflies in my stomach making it hard to breathe right. I looked back at him and he still was staring at me. A slight blush crept up to my cheeks, my heart pounding very hard in my chest.

"Rose, look—"

He started leaning closer to me, reaching out his hand to me. He didn't seem like he was controlling his actions right now. He reached, his eyes fixed on me all the while. His bare arm touched my bare skin and tingles started all over my body.

"Rose…that night…I didn't mean…" He was getting closer, closer. I seemed to get caught up in his emerald eyes.

"Rose." He said one last time before his lips were reaching towards mine. It was all done in slow motion. Him reaching for me and me reaching back to him. All I wanted was that kiss…and him.

It was like an outside compulsion was making us do things we didn't normally do.

His lips were only centimeter away from mine. I was fighting to keep my face unemotional. My mind was blank…and my mouth was too dry to try and say something. I wished I could stop time and just admire his face, all his features, and every part of him.

There was a hairbreadths space between our lips—

"Adrian! Where are you?" Jade's voice rang out throughout his suite.

Jade saw the scene in front of her. Adrian and I really close, in an intimate position—I could see the wheels turning in her head, a smile spreading over her face. Then I saw a look of regret pass over her face. I thought maybe she was sorry for interrupting.

Adrian sighed, his sweet breath washing all over me, making it even harder to catch my breath. He ran a hand through his hair and looked at Jade. "Yeah? Do you have good news for me?"

She nodded, her face hardening. "Our father said that bastard would get eliminated as soon as possible. He is on his way here"—she looked over my way—"and so is your mother, of course."

Oh, hell. My mother was coming here. That was very bad. I nodded at Jade, though. She came to sit next to me on the bed and wrapped her arms around me in a sisterly hug. She let her arms comfort me for a second. "I am so sorry, Rose. I am sorry he did that to you." She closed her eyes and let her tears fall. "Good thing dad is finally ridding this world from that problem. Although, that would never bring Morgan back." She started crying hard now. "Oh, I miss her so much."

It was my turn to hug her now. "Morgan?"

Adrian was crying as well, though not as hard as Jade was. "Our older sister…who died."

Jade sobbed once and wiped tears off her face. "She didn't die; that stupid god forsaken man—Stan—murdered her."

Adrian put an arm on his sister. "Jade…"

"No, Rose has a right to know about this. She is practically part of the family."

"About what?" I asked.

"Well, you see, Stan used to be my mother's guardian. He used to be the best until one day something went into his head. He started getting too intimate with my older sister Morgan. She didn't like it all. She was a very beautiful sister; the best there could ever be." She paused to take a breath. "One day, he wanted her to pleasure him in all ways possible. Of course she denied. Stan got mad and he forced her into it." She closed her eyes and looked at me with eyes filled with horror.

I was horrified. "He did horrible things to her, Rose. You will never get how bad. He even recorded himself doing it. Then, he started beating her up and it got to the point where he had murdered her. He left her body at the door of our house with the tape of what he had done near her body. And he left a note that said: Jadie, my love, you are next." She leaned into me for comfort and I let her cry into my shoulder. "I don't really care about myself. It's my sister…I miss her more each day, even though it has been two years since this has happened."

I was horrified, disgusted. I could have been a victim of this. And thankfully Dimitri had come in time. I owed him my life.

Jade stood up. "I am sorry. I need to go outside and take a breather." She didn't look back as she walked away.

I looked back at Adrian, who had his head in his hands. I lay back on the bed. I couldn't think, much less open my mouth to say something. "I am sorry…" I said to Adrian.

"Thank you. It's true what Jade said. We all miss her." I didn't think; I threw my arms around him and held him tightly against me. I started crying and Adrian came to join me on the bed. He hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead, stroking my hair as he did. "It's okay, Rose. Let it all out." And I did. He cried with me and held me all the while.
