Chapter 8
RPOV

After coming from the spa last night I stayed at Adrian’s again. I feel asleep with him holding me. It was probably one of the most peaceful nights sleep I had. And that probably had something to do with the fact that Adrian dream-walked with me. At first he had placed us where we first met on the porch, than he took me to his grandmother’s gardens in Romania they were absolutely beautiful. He promised that he would take me to the real gardens on day. I truly hoped he kept that promise.
When I woke up in the morning I had the chance to watch Adrian sleep. He looked absolutely angelic in his sleep. He was beautiful and I knew without a doubt he was mine to love, even if he didn’t know I loved him yet. Call me crazy after the heartache I had just had with Dmitri but when it came to Adrian my heart was not mine to have solely to my self. In the three days that I had known him he had commandeered my heart. And to be honest with myself I didn’t really want to take it back from him. I just hope he wouldn't break it.
Since I really wanted to see his eyes this morning before I left to go back to my room to clean up and start my day, I decided to speed up the process of waking him up.
I made sure he thoroughly enjoyed his blow job before I planted a kiss on his pouty lips and looked in to his still lust ridden green eyes before I left. I would see him later tonight because he had his familial duties to take care of, and I wanted to exercise this morning. Before I begun my day.
So for an hour and a half I worked out in the little gym they had here at the resort before I returned to my room. I showered and dressed in a comfy pair of black sweat paints that were huge on me but I like the room in the, and one of my white camis. I was about to paint my toenails when there was a knock at my door. Since I was the only one in the room with Lissa being out somewhere with Christian most likely I went to answer the door.
I saw one of the hotel staff standing outside with a large box in both arms. He shifted it slightly so that he could peer around and look at me.
“I’m looking for Rose Hathaway.”
“That’s me.”
I took the box from. It was big but not that heavy. With a quick thank-you, I shut the door, wondering if I should have tipped him. Oh well.
I set on the floor with the box. There was a card taped the top of it. Deciding to read the card before I opened the box I proceed to do just that.
I thought I should rectify the grievous error of you having no perfume, like every beautiful woman should, so I took the liberty of ordering a few for you to choose from. I was going to give the box to you this morning but you disappeared on me before I could come down from state of utopia you sent me to this morning, and don’t worry Little Dhampir I plan on returning that favor to you very soon, minus the leaving before you come down from you high. I hope you enjoy the perfumes.
Simply and Forever Yours,
Adrian.
I smiled after I finished reading the letter. Though to some it may not seem like much but I would cherish it. I gingerly set the letter down before I opened the box. Using one of the pens that was one the bedside table I cut the tape that was keeping the box closed. There were at least thirty little perfume bottles in the box. Some of them I knew I never heard of before. The ranged from being the insanely expensive, movie-star caliber to the cheap kinds that I could fine at the drug store. Eternity. Angel. Vanilla Fields. Jade Blossom. Michael Kors. Poison. Hypnotic Poison. Pure. Poison. Happy. Light Blue. Jõvan Musk. Pink Sugar. Vera Wang.
One by One, I picked up the boxes, and read the descriptions, then pulled out all of the bottles fore a sniff. I went through them all trying to find what I liked so I could take the rest back to the front desk to have them sent back to Adrian. While going through the box I remembered what Adrian had said about with the right perfume it would blend with my scent, something he constantly told me he adored. I even learned last night after we returned from the spa that it calmed him down, weird I know. But whatever letter he read that was attached to his door last night had pissed him off. He looked ready to go find who ever had placed the offending letter on his door when I pulled him to sit down beside me on the couch. He pulled me into his laps and took deep calming breaths as he rested his head on top of mine. After he calmed down he told me that my scent made him feel really relaxed.
That should have been somewhat creepy, but when you are dealing with a vampire that has very sensitive sense of smell, it’s kind of endearing.
Even going through the thoughts I still kept pulling bottle out and sniffing some and spray others in the air. Serendipity. Dolce & Gabbana. Shalimar. Daisy.Note after note hit me: rose,violet, sandalwood, orange, vanilla, orchid ...
By the time I was done my nose barely worked anymore, and I wish I had some coffee beans to clear my senses of the many different scents of the perfumes.. All of these had been designed for humans. Thad a weaker sense of smell than vampires and even dhampirs, so these scents were extra strong. I a new appreciation for what Adrian had meant about only a splash of perfume being necessary. If all these bottles were making me dizzy, I could only imagine what a Moroi would smell.
After going through the whole box of the perfumes I returned to the one I really liked. I took the little red bottle of the box and re-sniffed it. It was a crisp, sweet fragrance. There was some kind of fruit-but nota candied or sugary fruit. I racked my brain for the scent I’d smelled once on a girl I knew in my dorm. She’d told me the name. It was cherry...but sharper. Currant, that what is was. And here it wasn’t in this perfume, mixed with some florals: lily of the valley and the other I couldn't identify.. Whatever the bled, something about this one appealed to me. It was sweet- but not overly done. I read the box looking fore the name. Amor Amor.
“Fitting,” I said smiling to myself as I sprayed a little on myself. I placed this one aside and begun to pack the rest of the bottles away, I took two other perfumes that I liked and might try out during my packing. After everything was back in the box I hoisted the box up in my arms to take it down to the front dest and acquire some packing tape to reseal the box.
I was going to leave the box for them to send back to Adrian’s room but I decided that I would take it. I walked down to his room and stopped in front of his door. It was then I remembered that he might be with his family but I figured since I was here I might as well try and if he wasn’t there than I would take the box back to the front desk. Before I could even raise my hand to knock on the door it opened, and Adrian stood before me.
“Hey Little Dhampir, I thought we were meeting later tonight.” he said as he leaned to peck me on the lips.
“I know, I was just retiring these.” I said as I handed the box over to him. He took it and set down on the table that was beside the door.
“Did you like any of them?” he asked me. “Do you want me to get you some more?”
“I found one that I really liked and took out two others I want to try out,”
“Good.” he said leaning back down to kiss me. “I would try to guess as to which one you like but there are so many different ones I smell on you, it is a sensory overload.”
“Sorry, I’ll make sure to shower before you see me again, don’t want you getting to dizzy.” I said smiling against his lips.
Suddenly, a voice was behind him asked, “Rose? Is that you?”
I peered beyond him. Lissa.
“What are you doing here?” I asked raising-trying to-an eyebrow at here and Adrian.
“What are you doing here?” she asked me back.
“Visiting my boyfriend.”
“Boyfriend?” Adrian asked with a smirk on his sexy lips.
“Well unless you have a problem with such a title?”
“I don’t. I actually kind of like it.”
“Good.” I said kissing him lightly. Than moving away from him. “But now I would like to know why you are here Lissa.”
A breath of aftershave hit me, and then I heard a voice behind me: “Me too.”
I jumped. Spinning around, I saw Dimitri standing in the hallway. I had no clue what he was doing in the Ivashkov wing. Than I remembered Tasha’s rooms were in the same wing.
Dmitri no doubt always expected me to get in to all sorts of trouble, but I think seeing lissa there caught him off guard. He stepped past me and came into the room. Looking between the three of us. It was enough to make me want to roll my eyes, and that is exactly what I did.
“Male and female students aren’t suppose to be in each other’s rooms.”
I knew pointing out that Adrian wasn’t technically a student wasn’t going to get us out of trouble so I decided to keep my mouth shut for once.
“I am not a student, and Rose was just dropping something off. And Lissa had a question to ask me.”
“You shouldn't have let them in.” scolded Dmitri. I could see Adrian’s eyes narrow sharply at Dmitri. “I’m sure you know the rules at St. Vladimir’s.”
Adrian just shrugged his shoulders and pulled his hand through his hair nonchalantly, “Yeah, I know them. But I don’t follow any of the rules at my school why should I follow the ones at St. Vlads?”
“Perhaps not,” Dmitri said coldly. “but I would have thought you’d respect those rules.”
Adrian smirked at him, “The same could have been said for you. It surprises me to hear you lecture about underage girls.”
“Adrian,” I said with a warning in my voice. His eyes flashed to mine. Our eyes locked having a silent conversation between them. He understood, I wanted him to back off the subject since Lissa was in here and had no clue what he referring to.
I saw him give a slight nod in admission. Than turned my focus back on Dmitri. I saw anger kindled in Dmitri’s eyes, and for a moment I thought he was going to loose control. But he stayed composed, and only his clenched fist showed how angry he was.
“Besides,” Adrian continued a moment later, “nothing sordid was going on. We were just hanging out.”
“If you want to ‘hangout’ with young girls, do it at one of the public areas.”
Adrain laugh just then, a weird kind of laugh made my skin crawl slightly. With concern I took a step towards to see if he was alright. Adrian should never laugh like that. I saw my movement had sparked something in Dmitri’s eyes that I couldn't identify but I could care less. “Young girls? Young girls? Sure. Young and old at the same time. They’ve barely seen anything in life, yet they’ already seen too much. One marked with life and the other marked with death,” I figured he was referring to my and Lissa’s Aura, but Dmitri didn’t know that. “but they’re the ones you’re worried about? Worry about yourself, dhampir. Worry bout you, and worry about me. We’re the ones who are young.”
I could only stare at Adrian. I was beginning to worry if all the alcohol he consumed and the cigarettes he smoked were finally starting to take a toll on his body. Or maybe it was the darkness from the spirit.
Greatly concerned I went to him and placed one hand on his bicep the other on his cheek. He looked me in the eye and gave a weak smile than kissed me on my furrowed brow, placing his hand on top of mine that was resting on his bicep before he closed his eyes to calm himself. He breath in deeply, I knew even with all the perfume he smelled on me my scent was still helping.
When he was calm and return from his temporary trip to Crazyville, he pulled away from me and turned away to stroll towards the window and pulled out his cigarettes. So I was right, the Spirit was bothering him.
“You ladies should probably go. He is right. I am a bad influence.”
“I’ll see you tonight Adrian.” I told him knowing he wanted to be alone. I would rather stay with him to help him get passed this but with Dmitri in the room I knew that wasn’t an option. I exchanged looks with Lissa she understood me and started making her way to the door.
“I know Little Dhampir.” Adrian told me before I shut the door on my way out Dmitri behind me.
“Don’t worry about him Rose he’ll be alright.”
“I know Liss.” I told her giving her a weak smile.
When we reached the lobby, I started to follow Lissa back to our room, so I could find out what she was discussing with Adrian and to see if she knew what he was talking about. But those plans were thwarted when Dmitri called to me.
“Rose can I speak with you.”
I felt a sympathetic rush of feelings from Lissa. I turned towards Dmitri and stepped off to the side of the room out of the way of those passing through. A party of Moroi in diamonds and fur swept past us, anxious looks on their faces. Bellhops followed with their luggage. People were still leaving in search of safer place. Strigoi paranoia as far from over.
Dmitri’s voice snapped my attention back to him. “That’s Adrian Ivashkov.” he said the name the same way he did the last time we spoke of this.
I rolled my eyes in annoyance, “I know who he is Guardian Belikov.” My using his name formally seemed to stump him slightly but didn’t stop him from proceeding.
“That is the second time I have seen you with him. Even after my warning.”
“Okay.” I said slowly, not really caring as to what he was getting at. “We hangout”
Dmitri arched an eyebrow, then jerked his head back towards were we’d come from. “You hang out in his room a lot.”
“What happens between me and him is none of you business.” I said keeping my tone similar to his as when he told me the same thing when I asked him about him and Tanya several days before he told me that he planned to become her Guardian.
“Actually, as long as you are at the Academy what you do is my business.”
“Not my personal life. You don’t have any say in that.”
“You’re not an adult yet.”
“I’m close enough. Besides, it isn’t like I’ll magically become an adult on my eighteenth birthday.”
“Clearly,” he said.
With narrowed eyes I said, “That’s not what I meant. I meant-”
“I know what you meant. And the technicalities don’t matter right now. You’re an Academy student. I’m your instructor. It’s my job to help you and to keep you safe. Being in the bedroom of someone like him...well, that’s not safe.”
“I can handle Adrian Ivashkov,” I muttered. “He may act a little weird at times, but he is harmless.” I said tempted to tell all things that Adrian was, but I realized I don’t owe him any explanation. “Maybe you should be more focused on your own personal life. You will be leaving to live with Tasha Ozera in a few weeks. I would have thought now was the time to get your things into order, so you can be prepared for that.”
“Rose-”
“Besides wasn’t that who you were visiting when you caught Lissa and me at Adrian’s?”
“I was actually visiting your mother.”
Great, just what I need the two of them in the same room. “Hmm.” was the only response I could give to him.
“We were looking over some new data about the Strigoi in the Drozdov attack.”
That caught my attention.The Drozdovs. The Badicas. Suddenly everything about this morning seemed less important. Well except my growing worry over Adrian’s health, but that was to be pondered at a later time.
“What’d you find out?” I asked him quietly.
"We've managed to track some of the Strigoi," he said. "Or at least the humans with them. There were witnesses who lived nearby who spotted a few of the cars the group used. The plates were all from different states-the group appears to have split up, probably to make it harder for us. But one of the witnesses did catch one plate number. It's registered to an address in Spokane."
"Spokane?" I asked incredulously. "Spokane,Washington? Who makes Spokane their hideout?" I'd been there once. It was about as boring as every other backwoods northwest city.
"Strigoi, apparently," he said, deadpan. "The address was fake, but other evidence shows they really are there. There's a kind of shopping plaza that has some underground tunnels. There've been Strigoi sightings around that area."
"Then ..." I frowned. "Are you going to go after them? Is somebody going to? I mean, this is what Tasha's been saying all along.... If we know where they are ..."
He shook his head. "The guardians can't do anything without permission from higher up. That's not going to happen anytime soon."
I sighed. "Because the Moroi talk too much."
"They're being cautious," he said.
I felt myself getting worked up again. "Come on. Even you can't want to be careful on this one. You actually know where Strigoi are hiding out. Strigoi who massacred children. Don't you want to go after them when they don't expect it?" I sounded like Mason now.
"It's not that easy," he said. "We answer to the Guardian Council and the Moroi government. We can't just run off and act on impulse. And anyway, we don't know everything yet. You should never walk into any situation without knowing all the details."
"Zen life lessons again," I sighed. I ran a hand through my hair, tucking it behind my ears. "Why'd you tell me this, anyway? This is guardian stuff. Not the kind of thing you let novices in on."
"I've said a few things...today...that I shouldn't have. Things that insulted your age. You're seventeen...but you're capable of handling and processing the same things those much older
than you do."
"Really?"
He nodded. "You're still really young in a lot of ways- and act young-but the only way to really
change that is to treat you like an adult. I need to do that more. I know you'll take this information and understand how important it is and keep it to yourself."
I didn't love being told I acted young, but I liked the idea that he would talk to me like an equal.
"Dimka," came a voice. Tasha Ozera walked up to us. She smiled when she saw me. "Hello, Rose."
"Hey,"
She placed a hand on Dimitri's forearm, sliding her fingers over the leather of his coat.
"You've got that look," she told him.
"What look?" he asked. The stern look he'd worn with me vanished. There was a small, knowing smile on his lips. Almost a playful one.
"That look that says you're going to be on duty all day."
"Really? I have a look like that?" There was a teasing, mocking tone to his voice.
She nodded. "When does your shift technically end?"
Dimitri actually looked-I swear-sheepish. "An hour ago."
"You can't keep doing this," she groaned. "You need a break."
"Well ... if you consider that I'm always Lissa's guardian..."
"For now," she said knowingly. "There's a big pool tournament going on upstairs."
"I can't," he said, but the smile was still on his face. "Even though I haven't played in a long time ..."
What the-? Dimitri played pool?
"Come on, then," she begged. "Just one round! We could take them all."
"I can't," he repeated. He sounded regretful. "Not with everything going on."
She sobered a little. "No. I suppose not." Glancing at me, she said teasingly, "I hope you realize what a hard-core role model you have here. He's never off duty."
"Well," I said, with genuine sadness in my voice and a bit of bitterness because she was the reason I wouldn't have him as a mentor anymore"for now, at least."
A look of realization flashed across her face, than sadness, seeing her said must not have been something appreciated to well.
"We're finished here, Rose. Remember what I said."
"Yeah," I said, turning away. I suddenly wanted to go to my room and veg for a while. This day was making me tired already. "Definitely."
I hadn't gotten far when I ran into Mason. Good God. Men everywhere.
"You're mad," he said as soon as he looked at my face. He had a knack for discovering my moods.

"What happened?"
"Some ... authority problems. It's been a weird morning." I told him as we walked together, “Want to hangout for a while?”
“Sure.” he told me
Opening my mind, I searched for Lissa. She was no longer in our room. She'd gone off to some other royal event, no doubt still practicing for Priscilla Voda's big dinner. "Come on," I told Mason. "We'll go to my room." Aside from when Dimitri inconveniently happened to be passing by someone's room, nobody was really enforcing the mixed-gender rule. It was practically like being back in my Academy dorms.
“So what did you think about what Guardian Belikov said.” he asked me as we set down on one of the couches in my and Lissa rooms.
“You were listening?”
“I didn’t mean to be overhearing your conversation. I was just there when you guys just started talking.”
I didn’t even realize there was someone close enough to use to listen in. That was somewhat careless on both my and Dmitri parts to be discussing such things and not make sure there wasn’t someone around that could over hear us.
“I don’t know really. But it not like it matter’s they won’t be doing anything about it.”
“What? They’re not doing anything? How did I miss that part of the conversation.”
I shrugged and sat on my bed. "Dimitri said-"
"I know, I know ... I heard you. About being careful and all that." Mason paced around my room
angrily. "But if those Strigoi go after another Moroi...another family...damn it! They're going to wish they weren't so careful then."
"Forget about it," I said. I felt kind of miffed that me on a bed wasn't enough to deter him from crazy battle plans. "There's nothing we can do."
He stopped walking."We could go."
"Go where?" I asked stupidly.
"To Spokane. There are buses you can catch in town."
"I ... wait. You want us to go to Spokane and take on Strigoi?"
"Sure. Eddie'd do it too ... we could go to that mall. They wouldn't be organized or anything, so we could wait and pick them off one by one ..."
I could only stare. "When did you get so dumb?"
"Oh, I see. Thanks for the vote of confidence."
"It's not about confidence," I argued, standing up and approaching him. "You kick major ass. I've seen it. But this ... this isn't the way. We can't go get Eddie and take on Strigoi. We need more people. More planning. More information."
The fire of battle was still in his eyes, but I could tell his mind was shifting to more immediate concerns. Like me.
"I didn't mean to call you dumb," I told him. "I'm sorry."
"You're just saying that now because you want to have your way with me."
"Of course I am," I said sarcastically rolling my eyes and laughing a little, happy to see him relaxing. The nature of this conversation reminded me a little of the one Christian and Lissa had had in the chapel.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, he said, "You really are his student."
"Whose?"
"Belikov's. I was just thinking about when you mentioned needing more information and stuff. You act just like him. You've gotten all serious since you've been hanging out with him."
"No, I haven't."
“You've just changed, that's all. It's not bad ... just different."
Something about that made me angry, but before I could snap back, his mouth met mine in a kiss.
I wiggled out of his reach. "No ... don't." and stood from the couch.
Mason stopped immediately because that's the kind of guy he was.
"Too much?" he asked.
He reached for me again, and I moved farther away. "No, I just don't...I don’t feel that way about you Mason.” I told him as I back away from him
"I..." He was speechless for a moment.
I swallowed, feeling stupid. "I'm sorry, Mase. I just can't."
He sat up and ran a hand over his hair. "Okay. All right."
I could hear the hardness in his voice. "You're mad."
He glanced over at me, a stormy expression on his face. "I'm just confused. I can't read your signals. One moment you're hot, the next you're cold. And every since the Ivashkov came around-"
“Mason, I never felt that way about you. And I am sorry if I have lead you to believe otherwise. But you and me can never ever be more than friends. I’m sorry.”
"Is there something you want me to do?" he asked when I didn't say anything. "Something that'll... I don't know. Make you feel better about me?"
“Mason I don’t think-”
With a groan, he stood up and headed for the door. The door slammed behind him. The noise made me flinch, and as I stared at where Mason had just stood, What the hell happens now?
