Ladies, and Gentlemen,
Guardians and Moroi,

10 is a round number, and I like this number, that's why I made a little longer chapter then I'm used to publish... :P
I know that it's a little late but I finally got an idea for this fic.: Vampire Academy: Broken Trust.

Thanks, enjoy, please review and tell me what do you think of my title and cover. :D
xoxo, J.J.
I woke up gasping for air. I was all sweaty and messy from the turning in the bed. I got off my bed and got ready for the day. I put myself some gym clothes and went for a run.
Outside the sky was beautiful with all those sunset colors. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Victor and his brother Robert. I didn't want to kill him. I just wanted to knock him down, to stop him from using his magic, to stop him from running away with Jill. Well that didn't happen. He died. Because he was too weak and old. And now his brother wants me dead. How did he even escape the prison? I kind of got used of the bad guys always getting through and haunting me, so...
The way Dimitri looked at me in my dreams... It hurts so much. Why can't he believe me? Why all the worst things happen to me? Why can't I have a normal dhampir life like everyone else?
Oh yeah, I know why. Because I'm Rose Hathaway, that's why.
25 minutes passed and I have to get ready for class. I have seniors today and I have to make up with the class I passed two days ago.
I have to admit they are not bad at fighting. Not bad at all. I join them in training and show them some new moves. I was just showing them a backstabbing move with a fake stake and one of the novices had a problem with it. I walked to her and showed her again. Then I helped her to do it. When suddenly, everybody in the room kneeled down on their knee and looked down to the floor.
I turned around to see what's going on and what I saw was... someone...
It was the Queen.
This day couldn't get any better. Lissa walked in with two guardians that are guarding her office and Alberta was with them. She called them. I can see it. When she saw that I looked at her she looked on the ground avoiding to see me in the eyes. That made me furious.
I kneeled with them.
"Rise." Lissa said.
Now everybody stood and stared at Lissa.
"The Queen came to visit, so show her what you can do and continue with practise." I said loudly enough so everybody could hear me.
Lissa didn't seem to find me before but now when I was heard she looked at me and her face turned all serious. She was faking the smile.
What do I do now? Should I turn and run away which is what I totally want to do, or confront her. But I have to admit I missed her. A lot.
I think I was standing there for too long, cause she decided to walk to me.
"The Academy?" she said once she was close enough to me to hear her. "You from all, you who hated it and couldn't wait to get out, you came here?"
"What do you want?" I try to be as strong as I can, but I can feel the burn in my eyes trying to push the tears away.
"I want to talk." she said.
"I have class. No time, sorry." I said looking at them training.
"Guardian Petrov can take over." She said and Alberta quickly nodded.
"It's for your best." Alberta whispered.
I guess I have no choice now. I push my papers roughly to Alberta's chest and start walking out of the gym. Lissa and guardians quickly follow me. I just want to do this quickly. Because I don't know for how long I can take it. It's so great to see Lissa and to know she's okay.
I stop in an empty hallway.
"Make this quickly." I say crossing my arms.
"You can't stay here. I'm asking you to come with me, so we can hide you and protect you." she said.
"I'm not going anywhere with you. And I don't need protection."
"Of course you do! Victor's brother is trying to get his revenge. And I have to do everything to protect you and your child."
"Don't! Just don't talk about me and my child okay?!" I yell and turn around.
"Dammit, I'm crying again. Stupid pregnancy!" I yell with my face in my hands.
"You broke your promise." Lissa whispered behind me.
I turn back and forget about my tears. A tear was running down her cheek.
"That promise was long gone from the moment when all of you doubted in me."
"Rose, I'm sorry." she cried. I couldn't take it anymore. It was breaking me in hundreds of pieces. I turned away and pretended I didn't care.
"Rose, wait! Please!" She yelled behind me. Guardians were already calming her down.
The bell rang. That means I missed my class. Again. I walk to teachers' chambers, drying my tears. I enter and I want to quickly grab my things and go. I don't want to talk or deal with anyone today. I just can't wait to get back to my bed.
But on my way to my desk, even if I was bending my head to the floor, I saw a redhaired women standing in front of the window. I stop and prepare myself to look over there because I know only one redhaired and curly women with that pose of standing. And to be perfectly sure she wasn't tall either.
I turn my head toward her and I realize that I was right. It was my mother. And on my bigger surprise... She was not alone. My father was there, and Christian and... And Dimitri.
Dimitri was standing in a dark corner. He was watching me before but when I looked at him he looked away.
From all the reactions in the world I started laughing. Hard. God, those hormones are killing me.
"Alberta, I wasn't informed about any Court visits." I say to Alberta. She was leaning on a desk. Lissa just walked in behind me. "I mean, I already got through a pretty surprise with the Queen visiting my class." Lissa went to Christian. He took a hold of her shoulders when she turned to me. Her eyes were red from crying. What am I doing to her?
"You're coming with us. We're going to hide you until we find Robert Doru and execute him."Abe said.
"No need, thank you. I'm safe over here." I smiled.
"Doru killed guardians in the prison and managed to hide them well enough for others not to notice he's gone. This school cannot afford another attack of strigoi. And if that happens not only you are in danger but also the whole Academy." My mother had a point with that... I don't want to endanger the school. But I'm not going with them.
"And now when you're going to have a child-"
"Would you stop talking about my child and the things I have to do?!" I interrupt her. I have enough of everybody telling me what to do.
"Do you maybe know why did I even come here? Does anybody have any idea?" Now my look stopped at my parents.
"Because I want to raise him, be with him and still do my job." Mother knew what was I pointing at. And again the tears came. I'm crying at a smallest stress now. I hate it. "Because I want to be there for every Christmas, for every Thanksgiving and I don't want to miss any birthday or any new experiences." When I stopped the room was quiet like it was empty. Only my heavy breathing and Lissas sobbing was heard.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON AROUND HERE?!" Kirova yelled while she came inside. She walked and stopped right next to me.
"You are pregnant?" She asked. "And there is a strigoi that wants to get inside the Academy?" She said that louder. Now her look was on Alberta. I didn't want to get her in trouble.
"Wait a minute." Jeanine said. "You didn't know that she's pregnant and you hired her?" Kirova wanted to say something but Jeanine stopped her. "And you had no idea that a strigoi threatened my daughter? WHAT IS THIS?!"
The next second Abe, Jeanine, Kirova and Alberta were yelling on each other about Kirova giving me the job and not knowing about Robert, Christian was calming Lissa down and every other guardian in the room was whispering and not knowing if should they stop this nonsense or not.
And all I was doing was staring at Dimitri.
I missed him so much. He was looking at the floor trying not to listen at them. He was wearing his guardian uniforme and his duster as always. His hair… How I wish to get my fingers through his hair. And his lips… How I wish to kiss them.
He slowly looks at me. But he doesn't look away this time. His eyes were full of pain, red and he had bags under them. For a while we were just looking at each other like nobody was there, just us. I didn't even hear the yelling in the room.
"EVERYBODY QUIET!" Kirova over sounded everyone. Dimitri looked over her now. And so did I.
Kirova turned to my side now. "Rose. You need to leave the Academy. For school's safety I want you gone. Far away from here. Pack your things and leave as soon as you can. I don't want to see you or your family here when the twilight starts. You, your majesty are mostly welcome, of course." She said nodded to Lissa.
I couldn't stay in that room anymore. I have to leave. When? Where? How? As soon as I step outside the gates, Robert and his strigoi army is going to kill me.
I run out the room as fast as I can because the tears were coming. I didn't want them to see me like this. I ran at my room and just started to pack. I didn't even take any time to calm down and stop crying. I was packing while my tears were dropping on my clothes.
A knock was heard on my door.
"I'm busy right now!" I yelled. Probably some girl student came to report that she can't train because of her period. I won't be training them so it doesn't matter anymore. I continue packing, when I hear footsteps.
It was Dimitri.
"I should have known. Last time I was packing, you also came..." I laugh in tears. I dry them from my eyes and stop packing for a second just to calm down. I grab a grip on the bag and close my eyes taking a few deep breaths.
"Get out." I tell when I open my eyes back. He stands still.
"Are you deaf?'' I say. Now I do hear footsteps but only that they were getting closer.
"We made a plan." he said.
"I'm not going anywhere with you." I quickly said back.
"Yes, you are." he said. Oh, yeah? Who does he even think he is? I turn around and realize how close he was actually standing. So close, I started to shake. So, close my "hate" disappeared. All I could see were his eyes, lips, hair and that duster.
"You're not telling me what to do." I shake with my head, another tear running down my face.
"Yes I am." His words have no sense. Does he not know me? No one tells me what to do.
"Leave me alone." I just want to get him out of the room.
"No." he said. Is he really going to talk to me like this?
"Why?" I don't find any other things to say. I stare at him. And he does the same at me. When I asked him why, his eyes softened and his look skipped from my eyes to my lips and back. He wants to kiss me. I know it. He always does that when he wants a kiss. And I want it too. So much.
With one hand I grab his shoulder and with other I take his duster and pull him closer.
I kissed him.
And it felt so good. I needed it. It feels better than any drug, it feels better than any vampire bite. I'm addicted to his kisses. And then, I felt like I was in heaven.
First he was still as a rock. But then, on my surprise he kissed me back. His hands were on my back holding me closer. His chest was rising and falling like he's about to get a heart-attack. And so was mine.
I wished that the time stopped and that we will never stop kissing. My hands touched his shoulder, his neck and my fingers were now brushing his hair. Did he changed his mind? Does he believe me now?
"No." He pulled away but his forehead was on mine. We were both breathing fast. Like he was reading my mind and answered my question.
"Come with us. You have a child, you have to protect." That "you" in his sentence just made it worse. It's "WE" not "YOU"!
I pushed myself away from him because I wanted to make his lips bleed. I wanted to punch his angel looking face. And it hurt even thinking that way. But he was right. Even if I don't want to go with them, my child is in danger. I'm in danger. And I will have to go with them.
"Let me finish packing." I said looking at the floor. I didn't see if he nodded or did anything cause I was avoiding his look. I watched him walk out the room and as soon he closed the door I bursted out in tears. Again. I fell down on my knees, my hands wrapped around my stomach and I cried. I cried like I never cried before. I felt empty.
I felt alone.
