Disclaimer: I don't anything from Vampire Academy, just the characters I have created and the plot.
The next day I woke up still in the arms that belonged to Adrian. I didn't want to wake him, so I did not move at all, not even a muscle; I simply looked at him and admired him.
Why do I feel like I have already met Adrian? Why? Just last night I woke up from a weird dream that included him and me. But the time it was taking place in, was not now; it had to be at least three hundred years ago since this had happened.
"Madam Rose, Mr. Ivashkov is here to see you." My servant, Jeanne, said coming into my bedchamber with her head bowed. I treated all of my servants—well, my father's and mother's servants—fairly well. It was just Jeanne who was most intimidated by me. To me, though, she was the best servant I had ever had.
"Jeanne, please let him in." I gathered my skirts and started wondering about my room, grabbing perfume and powder to beautify myself as much as possible for my lad. I walked to my wall-length mirror and looked over myself once more.
Even thought it was just me speaking, I had to admit I was beautiful. I had the gentlest pair of brown eyes, which reminded my lad of warm summer nights. My mother had passed on her great body and features well as my father had passed down his cunningness to me. They had created the most perfect daughter.
"Ms. Mazur, your lord is here." Jeanne said, bowing her head once more and leaving me with my lover.
I looked behind me to meet the most perfect pair of green eyes that belonged to the young man that was dressed like he had come from the Renaissance Faire. With all the light in the room, those eyes that I loved drowning in, reminded me of the purest of Emeralds. Like me, he was quite beautiful himself. He had the greatest shape, and he had the most perfect pair of lips, whom I kissed every night.
He smiled as soon as my eyes encountered his. "I see you are as happy to see me, as I am." He looked deep into my eyes as he grabbed my hand and turned it over and kissed it with a passion that only he could give. "You are beautiful as always, my lady."
I smiled with great cunningness. "Prove to me the love you feel towards me as you promised the other night…" I let that sentence trail off.
"Will do as wished, my lady." He said, gathering me in his arms and taking me to the bed.
"Oh, Adrian! You are my world, my heart, my only love!" I said as he and I finished our scene of romancing.
"Rose, you are my only Rose, the Rose that has ever touched my heart so deeply!" He leaned down to give me gentle kisses on the lips.
"I am sure if we were to be separated by death…" I couldn't finish the sentence; pleasure and passion was passing through me, the passion and pleasure only he could bring me.
"…that we would recognize each other just by a simple look into one another's eyes. Nothing could ever come between us. Nothing. Not even death. This is not just another romance between a pair in this world; this is epic love. Epic love…what we share and always will." He said, finishing the sentence for me and making love to me once more...
I am sure if we were to be separated by death…that we would recognize each other just by a simple look into one another's eyes.
I gasped right out loud.
Adrian stirred, waking, and putting his green eyes on me. But that just brought another…vision? to my head.
I looked at the bloody mess in front of me. Damien had done this. He had eliminated the love of my life in order for him to have me. But he was not going to have me as I was dying next to my Adrian.
No! I hadn't realized I had said this aloud when he spoke again. It was a bare whisper, though. He put his hand to my cheek. "My Rose, this isn't goodbye. It will never be goodbye between you and I." He closed his eyes; I was losing him. And I could not do anything to stop it. "You know that nothing will ever keep us apart. Death will just make our souls' connection much stronger than it already is."
"Adrian…" I sobbed out. "Don't leave me. I am begging you." I said, crying onto his chest. He gasped out and I realized I had hurt his already wounded chest.
"Oh, Rose…" I was going to lose my Adrian any second. This could not be happening. I could not bear to lose him!
"Adrian, don't leave me. I can't live without my heart and soul when you are taking them with you!"
He smiled, though it was a huge struggle for him. "Even though we are not together, our souls will be." He was closing his eyes. "And I swear I will keep on looking for you until I find you in our next lives." He started coughing up a lot of blood.
"I love you, don't you ever forget that."
It took a few tries so that he could get a word out. And it was: "I will find you again, Rose." His eyes opened and Emerald was all I saw before I saw nothing more.
"Rose!" Adrian was shaking me out of the vision. He sounded and looked really worried. He started shaking me. "Rose, are you okay?"
I had to shake myself a couple of times in order to answer him. "Um…do you believe in past lives?"
He looked at me like I was growing a pig on top of my head. "Rose…are you okay?" He looked into my eyes—in the very back of them, very faintly, I could see him trying to hide something.
I hated when they answered my questions with another question. I got mad at him and I hoped it didn't show on my face. "You know what? Thank you for your kindness and for taking care of me, but I think I need to leave." I said, with an uneager desire to want to get out of the comfortable bed.
He nodded, understanding too well what was wrong with me. "Can I at least walk you to your dorm?"
I didn't really want to deal with him right now. But that didn't stop me from letting him tag along.
Adrian's POV - Some Hours later
"Seriously, Eddie. The girl I love worries me too much. You just don't understand." Eddie Castile and my younger sister, Jade, were the best of friends. Therefore, Eddie and I were the best of friends. Even though we were like four years apart, I still treated him as if he were my age.
"I do understand—to my some extent. I used to care a lot about Mia and I used to worry a lot about her. Maybe it's love."
"Used to?" I questioned. Last I heard Mia and Eddie were so into each other and were happily in a relationship.
"Yeah. Mia and I broke up." He put some of his poker cards on the table.
I nearly fell off my seat. "I heard some things about her—"
"Don't believe what other people say…"
"—and those things eventually turned out to be true."
"Oh." I said, randomly shuffling the cards. "What kind of things were they?"
"That she was sleeping around." He shrugged. "Whatever. I found another chick that I could be enthused with."
"Oh, yeah?" I asked not really paying attention to anything. This had to be the most boring night of my life. "Who is that chick?"
Eddie smiled and you could tell he really liked this girl. "You know her. Her wild, impulsive side makes it hard on anyone not to love her."
"And who is this?" I said, starting to pay more attention to him now. Impulsive…there was only one girl that I knew that was really impulsive. And that was—
"Rose." Eddie said, finishing my thought. "I think I have fallen cleanly for Rose."
Oh. This was not happening. Rose was strictly mine.
"Rose, viata mea, inima mea,sufletul meu, femeia mea, iubirea mea numai! A mea, numai a mea!" Rose, my life, my heart, my soul, my woman, my only love! Mine, only mine!
Eddie was so going to die if he thought he could take my woman.
I leaned over to his side of the table and gripped his collar.
"If you touch my woman, I swear I will castrate you with my own hands!" I said in a deadly tone.
Eddie looked more freaked out than ever. "Adrian…I get the warning. Don't touch, Rose."
I let go of his shirt. "Exactly." Poor Eddie. He was probably scared shitless. How could I make him feel comfortable again? Oh, yeah! Party at my crib! Get him drunk with you and you guys will be on good terms again.
"Look, do you really like Rose so much?" Eddie said, setting his serious eyes one my face.
"No, Eddie, I don't like her at all." He gave me a WTF look. "I don't like her. I love her!"
He chuckled and so did I. "Crazy. Love makes you crazy." For a second, Eddie seemed lost in thought.
"Yes, it does." I said remembering the night Rose and I met.
"Alright." Eddie said slamming his fist on the table. "I know how you can see if Rose likes you back."
I leaned back on my chair and crossed my arms over my chest. "Impress me…"
And Eddie came up with the most brilliant idea. All I could do was smile.
Oh, Rose, my darling love, you are in for a good one this time.
I rubbed my hands, eager for later tonight.
Rose's POV
"Wait, what?!" I had been so distracted all day with the visions that I did not get one spec of what Lissa was talking about.
"I said, your mother is here!"
"What?!" God, what could have made her come here? Had I done something bad again? Then I remembered. Stan. I think my mother was here to murder Stan.
My phone rang. I answered and the other line revealed an angry mother. "Rose Hathaway! Why didn't you tell me about that gay dumbass trying to rape you?!" My angry mother said, making my ears hurt.
"Hi to you too, mother!" I took a breath. "Jeez, mom, calm down. He didn't get far before Guardian Belikov snapped him like a bitch!"
"Rose, this isn't time for your weird insanities!" She seemed to get angrier by the second. "Talk to you later! I have to go kill someone!"
"Mom! Don't—" but she had already hung up. I put my phone back into my pocket and looked back at the expectant Lissa.
"Your mom sounded mad."
"No shit? You think." I sighed. "So what was up with Eddie and Jade and Mia?"
"Oh. Eddie and Mia broke up and now Mia is with Adrian and Jade is with Eddie."
Before I looked at Lissa with wide eyes I started choking. "What did you just say? Mia is going out with whom?" Oh, no. I had just made a new enemy. Mia was so going to die for stealing my man.
I could feel Lissa trying to hide something through the bond. "Yeah. Mia and Adrian are a thing right now. It just barely started like some hours ago. So I don't think they have gone far."
I didn't want to imagine what she meant by far. If Mia touched my man, I swear she would not live to see tomorrow.
"Rose, are you okay? You seem…jealous of Mia. Aren't you happy for your friend?"
I plastered a huge fake smile. "Lissa, of course I am happy for Mia…and Adrian. Nothing would make me happier than my friend's happiness." Not.
She chuckled. "Well, I have to go meet Christian." She started to walk away but then turned back. "I'll see you later tonight at Adrian's place."
"Where?"
"At Adrian's."
"For what?"
She looked confused. "Didn't Adrian invite you for a movie night tonight in his room?" She answered her own question. "Well, then. I just invited you." She waved. "See you later!"
%%%%%%
"Your brother is annoying the shit out of me!" I said as soon as I stalked into Jade's room. It had been some time since Lissa and I had chatted and I was still annoyed with him.
"Thank you so much for telling me you were coming." Jade said sarcastically.
"Sorry, but your brother is causing to act so un -Rose."
"My brother is annoying you?" She chuckled. "You didn't seem to think that last night when I caught you almost kissing." She shook her head. "Don't you wish I hadn't interrupted your guys little love scene?"
I went to go sit on the couch and threw a pillow at her. "Fuck you. And no. I don't wish that. As a matter of fact, I wish just the opposite. I want him out of my life."
"Oh, Rose. But he already is in so deep."
"Deep where?"
"So deep in love with you." She smiled mischievously. "Of course, when you open those scrawny legs of yours, he will be in very deep. And I mean physically now." She started chuckling just as cheekily as her smile had been.
I rolled my eyes and threw another sofa cushion at her. "Doesn't he just wish?"
"Oh, he wishes more than that."
A knock on the door stopped me from saying another word to her. She stood up and went to go answer the door for Eddie. She leaned over and gave him a kiss on the lips. "Hey, sexy. Glad you could make it." I heard Jade say.
"Well, I wouldn't miss a night to spend time with you, my beauty."
She giggled and then turned back to me. "Rose, are you coming?"
"Where?"
"My brother's room." She gave that cunningness of hers again. "So that you can give him the chance to go deep." She winked at me.
I rolled my eyes at her lame joke, but followed her, nonetheless.
"Come in, lovelies!" Christian said, answering the door, which we knocked on.
"Hey, sweet fire. I missed your burning love last night. Where were you?" Jade said to Christian.
"Sorry. I was with my sexy blonde over here."
"Getting it on?" Jade asked so seriously that I had to laugh.
"You know it, babe." I wasn't surprised my friends had liked Jade so fast. She was one of those people that were easy to love.
"Oh, Adrian! You are such a sweetheart! I love you, babe!" I heard Mia's doll voice come from inside the room somewhere.
Adrian chuckled and kissed the top of her forehead.
"Everyone get comfortable; the move is starting." Lissa said, joining her lover-flame on the couch. Everyone got settled in with their boyfriend or girlfriend. Lissa and Christian sat on the floor. Jade and Eddie sat on a lazy chair. And Mia and Adrian sat a couch that was a little bit bigger than a loveseat.
Mia sat on Adrian's lap. She patted the empty seat beside them. "Rose, you can come sit here. Adrian doesn't bite, I promise."
Adrian winked at me and I went to go sit next to them with a dread in my heart.
All throughout the movie, I was distracted by Adrian and Mia and their little affections and caresses. I wanted to break off Mia's hands while she touched Adrian's body. At one point, Lissa paused the movie because they were going to make more popcorn. Thankfully, Mia got off Adrian.
"Rose, you look awfully bad." Adrian commented.
"Oh, so now you are talking to me?"
He looked confused for a second. "I have always been talking to you."
"No, you ignored me ever since I walked in through that door. And now you want to talk to me?"
"Sorry if I did something wrong…"
"Sorry. My ass!" I said standing up and going to the door.
Adrian stopped me.
I threw his hands off me. "Get your damn hands off me before I break them off you!"
"Rose, what did I do to you?"
"Fuck you, Adrian!" I was so mad. And the worst part of all was that I didn't know why.
Adrian finally gave up. "Fine then. You want to be a bitch. Go bitch somewhere else." He said, opening the door and gesturing out.
I glared at him. The madness in me was boosting up like hell. I shoved him against the wall. "Don't ever call me a bitch again!"
"Well, you are one."
That's when I lost it.
I started attacking Adrian like a lion does when someone doesn't let him out of his cage.
And he didn't do anything to stop me.
"Why are you guys fighting?!" Mia asked, putting her hand on me to calm me.
But I couldn't be calm. I wanted Adrian under my hands, under me.
It was Jade who answered. You had to strain to hear her, though. She looked at us, nodded, a small smile forming on her face. "Because they are in love…"
So tell me, what did you think of this chapter? Oh, and what did you guys do for April fools? Hope you guys liked the chapter! Review…for more!
