Chapter I

ROSE POV

You know I never wanted to fall in love. Well let me rephrase that, I never wanted to fall in love twice. After the first time it nearly broke me when he was taken from me. But then to be the one that actually killed him so his soul could be free, I thought it would be the end of me. But I didn’t give up. I kept pressing froward why I have no clue I think I would have been better off giving up. But for me to say such things is cruel to those that actually love me. I think I was for them that I came back. But even that does not seem like enough at times.
To many love is a gift, a blessing from god. To me it is a curse, I seem to fall for the men I could never have. First it was my mentor, he was several years older than me to begin with, and did I mention that he was my mentor? But no that didn’t seem to be enough to stop me from pursuing him. And when I finally thought I had him, the Strogoi took him from me. Than I had to watch the light leave his eyes after I put my stake through his heart several months later. It was when I returned home that I knew that my love life was just cursed. I fell for the most unlikely person, I never expected to give my heart to him. But for some crazy reason I did. Now I wish I would have kept the walls up, and not let the bastard in, because all it will do is hurt me in the end. But for me to say this is just plan selfish, the idiot is laying in a hospital bed fighting for his life because he tried protecting me and our unborn baby and our son Daniel. But if he comes through this I'll let him know the hell he is putting me through.
But before I take you through all of the drama of my present you need to know how it all lead up to this.
~RH+CO~

Two years ago....

If I was honest with myself I would honestly say I never wanted to return to the cold gray stone walls of the Academy, but I had no where else to go. I don’t even know if I want to be a Guardian anymore. I want to live for myself, how am I to do that if I have to worry about protecting other peoples lives. But there is a problem with what I would do if decide I don’t want to be a Guardian, what the hell am I suppose to do for income? But at the moment I am to tired to think on it any more I just want to rest and forget the past three months.
But even with all the shit that I have been through the last three months there was two face that I wanted to see. The first was Christian, he has been an unfailing friend to me throughout it all, even if to most it seemed like it was impossible given our previous history. And for his friendship I would be forever grateful. The second was Adrain, if it wasn't for Adrain I wouldn’t even have had the money to finance my little escapades. He was also there for my sanity when Christian was not able to reach me.
For the first time since I landed in Montana I was excited at the prospects of seeing Christian and Adrain, but when I saw the gates to the Academy my excitement dimmed a little. Before this day they never seemed intimidating as they do know. And that might because they once meant that I had some place within them. Now I am not to sure, after the things I have seen and experienced during my time in Europe were things I never wanted to do again. But what choice do I have? I think that is the most intimidating thought of it all.
After my moment of hesitation I walked the rest of the way to the gate up until I reached the security booth.
“Stop right there.” one of the guardians told me when I was about eight feet from the booth. For a moment I wasn’t trying to deal with there bullshit, but with everything that happened the night that Dmitri was taken I can't really blame them for the extra precaution especially when you see someone walking up from a long stretch of road, when people usually come in their cars for safety reasons. Oh and it is well into the night, well morning for people of St. Vladimir. “State your name.” he asked me.
“Rosemarie Hathaway,” I told him as he approached me along with four other Guardians.
“What is your business here Ms. Hathaway?” Well I guess he is a new Guardian here, well all five of them look like new Guardians here. The school must have upped the security.
“To be honest with you I have know clue.” I told him with a dry laugh.
“Do you have any identification on you?”
“Yeah hold on.” I told him as I pulled my backpack off of me so I could find it wherever it was buried within. “Here.” I told him handing him my passport which was the only identification I had on me. “Do you think I can get in to see Alberta? Or get a room in your guest housing?”
“Not with out speaking to Guardian Petrov first. But since that is who you are here to see, I guess you are in luck. Do you need help finding the Guardian building?”
“No, I know how to get there.”
“Let her through.” he told the other Guardians sitting in the booth.
“Thank you.” I mumbled to them as I made my way to the gate. At this point there was no turning back, but it isn’t like I had much to turn back to in the first place.
I should have picked my timing better when I decided to come back to the Academy. Classes must have just let out for the day because there was students everywhere going to and fro. And then the icing on the cake was that it was friday. No one was in a rush to do anything, so obviously I was now in the center of attention, at one point in my life I wouldn’t have minded being the center of attention I thrived in it, but now. After all the shit that I have just been through, I would like for them all to keep there whispering and pointing to a minimum, but we can't always get what we want, can we?
“Rose!” A voice shouted from behind me. It was like music to my ears. I closed my eyes as I let it wash over me. It was this voice that kept me sane. “Rose!” he called to me again, this time I turned around to face him. When I finally saw him I smiled for the first time in weeks. How had I missed his voice, these last weeks. When Dmitri took me he also confiscated the cell phone that Christian had slipped into my bag. How Christian manage to slip me that phone I don't know did it and how he knew that I was leaving I don’t know and quite frankly I don’t really care. Without another thought I dropped my bag and ran to him. I would never tell him this but he will always be my saving grace.
When I finally reached him I threw my arms around him and buried my head in his neck. “Your alive! I thought I lost you when I couldn’t reach you. And then Adrain said that when he tried to reach you in your dreams he couldn’t get through it was like you weren’t there.”
“He took my phone when he caught me. But I don’t know why Adrain couldn’t reach me.” I mumbled into his neck totally forgetting everyone else that was around, but at this moment they didn’t matter. But to be honest with myself I don’t think they have ever mattered.
“Is he gone Rose?”
“Y-Yes.” I told him sobbing. “I k-killed him. He w-won't be coming b-back.”
“I'm so sorry.” He told me as he tightened his arms around me, as if he could protect me from the pain. “I am always here for ” he told me as he pulled back so he could look at me. “You know that right?” He said as he placed his hands on either side of my face and looked me straight into my eyes. His were increasing filling with worry the longer he looked at me. I must have looked like shit because I sure did feel like it.
“Yeah I know Pyro.” I told him as I tried to manage a small smile.
“Where are you headed?” He asked me as I released him from our embrace, I felt strangely empty after doing so.
“To see Alberta.”
“What for?”
“I really don’t know. I guess I just want to know what my options are.”
“You still want to be Guardian?”
“Honestly no, but what other choice do I have?” I asked him. If he had an answer to my problem I would gladly take it.
“I am sure that there are other choices for you if you don’t want to be a guardian. And if you need help trying to find them I'll gladly lend a hand.”
“Thanks Christian”
“Any time Rose.” He said with a smile that barely reached his eyes.
“Where's Lissa? You two were usually attached to the hip the last time I was around.”
The smile altogether vanished from his face, something must have happened he didn’t tell me about.
“Lissa and I broke up.”
“What? Why?”
“Can we talk about it later, I don’t wish to share this story with all these people around.” well that brought me back to reality. As soon as he said that I could feel the stares prickling my skin.
“If I am still here, then I'll meet you at your old hideout later today.”
“What do you mean if you are still here?” he asked flippantly.
“Just that Christian. I might have to leave, I did after all drop out.”
“But if you leave this time where would you go?” he asked dejectedly after a moments pause, the way he said it made it sound almost as lost as me.
“If there is no place here for me than I have no where to go. If Alberta can't work something out for me then I'll leave and just have to figure something out.”
“You just got back and you all ready to go.”
“I may have no choice, but it doesn’t really matter. Besides you, Adrian, Lissa, and Eddie, what do I have to keep me here. And because of everything that I have done these last few months...The odds are against me here Christian. But if I am turned away I will figure something out. I have survived worse prospects, this isn’t enough to make me break.” yet, but I wasn’t going to say that part out loud know need to make him more upset than he already is. “But right now I have to go meet up with Alberta. I'll see if I can meet up with you later.” I told him as I begun to walk away.
“Rose?” he called from behind me.
“Yeah?” I answered turning back around to look at him. He looked at me with intense concern but I could also see that something else was bothering him, and I don’t think it had anything to do with Lissa.
“If you can't stay, can you promise me that I will hear from you when you leave. And if you ever need anything all you have to do is ask.”
“Thanks Christian.” I smiled a small smile than turned away from him.
When I finally got to the Guardian building I could practically hear the gossip spread through the campus. And most of it was probably about me looking like shit. I can't even even remember the last time I actually was able to do something with my hair other than pulling it into a ponytail. And these jeans are one of three pairs that I have in my pack, the shirt is one of five tee-shirts and my jacket well it looked like swiss cheese in some areas. I was at my low and the gossip mongers of this place were eating it up.
“Well, look decided to come back and grace us all with her presence.” a snarky voice said from the right side of me as soon as I walked into the building.
“Well it is wonderful to see you again to Stan.” I told him with a heavy dose of sarcasm. The man would forever get on my nerves me being gone for the last three months would not change that. “Can you get Alberta for me?”
“Guardian Petrov is in a meeting with Headmaster Lazar, so you will have to wait for her.”
“Lazar? What happened to Kirova?”
“That isn’t any of your business. She hasn’t been Headmistress of the school for the last two and a half months.”
“Do you know how long it will take for Alberta to get here?”
“An hour maybe two. You can sit over there while you wait for her.” he said pointing to the chairs in front of Alberta's office.
“Thanks.” I mumbled to him as I headed towards her office to take a seat.
By the time she finally made it back I felt like my ass had permanently become part of the seat and I was bored out of my mind and extremely irritated with Stan Alto, why I was cursed with that man's presence I'll never know, all I know that God must have been extremely angry with me to make it so.
“Well I would say that I am surprised that you are here, but I'm not.” Alberta said as she walked up.
“Who warned you?” I asked her as we walked into her office
“Your mother called me about two weeks ago saying that you will be returning, but I think that she would have thought it to be sooner.”
“Well it probably would have been sooner, but I ditched my ride almost a week ago. I've been traveling on foot since?”
“Why?”
“I needed the time to think, and I didn’t like the fact that they were making feel like a prisoner.”
“You could have been hurt Rosemarie.” she said as she pursed her lips.
“It wouldn’t be the first time. But I made it without much of a problem.” I said shrugging it off. The danger just didn’t seem oppressing to me like it use to.
“Fine,” she said after a minutes pause. “Are you planning on asking the Headmaster to allow you to re-enroll?”
“Didn’t know that was an option, but no I am not.” I told her. She looked at me a bit skeptically but I can't blame her everyone knows that it has always been my dream to become a Guardian, I was a little misguided at times but I always got put back on the right track. “While I was away, my whole perspective changed. What I did while I was in Russia, is not something I ever want to do again. After finally freeing Dmitri, I realized that I have start living for me. Being a Guardian restricts that. I have to care for a Moroi when nine times out of ten they don’t give a shit about me. I know that him being my mentor and several years older than me were factors in why it was so hard for us to be together, but I also know that we had to give up our own personal happiness to make sure someone else can have it. Life is too short for that, I had one night with him and it was ripped away from me the next day. For Lissa I gave up my happiness, because she will always come first. But I am no fool to believe that I still have a chance to become her Guardian. In the eyes of everyone else I screwed up big time on two accounts. Me having a bond with her isn’t enough to guarantee me being her Guardian. And if I was honest with myself I wouldn’t want to be her Guardian anymore. Not because I don’t care for anymore because she will always be my best friend. But she deserve a Guardian that she can count to protect her first and foremost. I cannot do that for her anymore.”
“Then why come here than Rose? There isn’t much that I can do for you if you don’t plan on being a Guardian.”
“I wanted to know if I can stay in Guest housing for about a two and a half months till I figure out what I am doing.”
“Under normal circumstances I would tell you that it wasn’t possible, but you have some friends in high places Rose. Give me a minute and I'll have everything set up for you.”
“Thank you.”
“Your very welcome Rose.”
Half an hour later I was leaving and heading up to the church to find Christian. But before I could step out of Alberta's office I was nearly tackled to the ground by Lissa.
“It's true! Your back! I have been so worried about you! Christian and Adrian kept telling me you were fine but that didn’t help me any.” for a Moroi her grip was tight it felt like she was trying to strangle me.
“Lissa can you loosing up a bit I think you are cutting off her air flow.” Adrian said from behind her.
She practically jumped off of me when he said that, like a worried mother she looked me over to make sure didn’t injure me. It was almost hilarious.
“I'm fine Lissa. Little banged up but I am good.”
“You don’t have to leave again do you? It's done right?” she asked me I didn’t have the heart to tell her that I was only staying for another two and a half months but I could tell her that my mission was complete.
“It's done Lissa,” I told her. I could practically see some weight lift off her shoulders. I don’t think we have ever been apart for so long in our lives, when I first left Lissa here it was like I was leaving my other half behind seeing her now I realize I was probably correct about that.
“I'm so sorry you had to do that but now you both can be at peace.” she told me as she drew me in for another hug. I never thought that freeing Dmitri would make me feel at peace but she was right some part of me did finally feel free and at peace. I kept my promise to him to free his soul should he ever be taken by the Strogoi.
“So where are you headed now?” she asked me as she released me from the hug.
“I was going to go to my new rooms to clean up a bit than I was going to meet up with I promised Christian that I would meet him at the church, if I was allowed to stay.” I told them as we begun to leave the building.
“Oh.” she said a bit put out, “Can I see you tomorrow?” she asked with her voice filled with hope.
“As long as you don’t mind going to the mall with me. Alberta is letting me take one of the cars there.”
“I don’t mind. Give us some time to bond.” She told with a smile that I returned than looked up at Adrian.
“You don’t mind me using the cards again do you? I'll pay you back after I figure out what I am going to do.”
“Get what ever you need Rose. And don’t worry about paying me back for any of it.” for some reason I felt like that had a double meaning. Some time this weekend me and Adrian will have to talk.
“What did you mean figuring out what you are going to do? You don’t plan on being a Guardian anymore?”
“No I don’t, I'm sorry Lissa, but I don’t think I do that anymore.”
“I am actually relieved that you don’t want to anymore. I don’t want you risking your life anymore Rose, especially for me. You are my best friend, my sister not my keeper.”
“Thanks Lissa.”
“You deserve a life Rose there's no reason to thank me for understanding that.”
“Well I gotta run guys, but I'll see you tomorrow Lissa around nine in the morning.”
“What ever time you get back from the mall come see me Rose. I have to talk to you.” Adrian told me.
“Alright Adrian, I'll come by.” I gave them one last hug than I begun making my way to see Christian. We had some things to discuss, mainly why he and Lissa broke up.
I took a quick shower making sure I washed the grim from every inch of my body and hair. I didn’t have much choice of clothing so I chose my cleanest pair of pants and tank top the undergarments they would have to wait till I had a chance to wash them. After I braided my hair and grabbed my tattered jacket I left to go meat Christian at the church.
When I reached the church it appeared to be empty I couldn’t even see the priest was here. For a moment I paused and looked at the pew that Dmitri always sat at. For a moment I could almost see him sitting there and thinking. The memory brought up a dull ache in my chest knowing he would never be sitting there thinking again. But I knew I could move on from it all, Dmitri wasn’t my forever. At a point in my life I thought he was but if he was my forever we would be together now. I had to hold on to the belief that there was someone else out there that could love me despite all my scars and the fact that I am somewhat broken. If I can't hold on to such beliefs than I fear it will truly be the end of me.
Shaking away those thought I begun to make my way up to the churches attic where I was suppose to be meeting Christian. If we were going to be meeting up again in the future we will have to do it in my rooms. This place was entirely to messy. I don’t see how he and Lissa were able to see this place as romantic me I couldn’t get past all the cob webs, boxes, discarded papers and dust. Just thinking about all of it creeped me out. I may not have had the most accommodating living for the past three months but that didn’t mean that I was anyway use to this filth and it also didn’t mean that I was ready to return to it either.
When I reached the last step I could see him sitting under the window. With the way the moonlight was hitting him he seemed almost unreal. I never paid much attention before but he was beautiful not that I would ever be admitting that to him in the first place.
“You know if you are just going to be staring Hathaway I could give you a good show of what is under my shirt.” he told me with a cocky smirk, it did nothing but make him even sexier and to my horror I actually blushed.
“No thanks fire boy, I don’t think a bird chest will be entertaining.” I told him trying to save myself from embarrassment
“I guarantee you Hathaway there is nothing flat about my chest. But it is your lost really, I would have put on such a good show.”
“I think I'll be just fine.” I told him as I set on the bed that was in the attic. Which probably wasn’t a good idea considering the activities he and Lissa you us to participate on this bed. I really hoped they washed those sheets.
“Don worry they are clean and new. I couldn’t really have the old things in here after...everything.” he said almost as though he was reading my mind. And the plus side he already opened the doorway to the conversation I planned on having with him.
“What happened between you two?”
“Avery Lazar happened.” He told me as he set down next to me.
“The headmaster?” I asked confused
“No his daughter. She was a spirit user like Lissa and Adrian. She was manipulating them. She made it so that Lissa and I fought and drifted apart, she almost made Adrian totally crazed. After a while Lissa started dating her ex-boyfriend again. She is still dating him and from what I hear and see they are going somewhat strong. I don’t know exactly how her and Adrian broke from her control but when they did it resulted in Avery's brother and Guardian being killed in the process which resulted in her going catatonic because she made both of them Shadow Kissed. All this happened about two weeks ago.”
“Have you two talked at all?”
“I have tried to talk with her, she does not wish to. She says that she is happy with Aaron. I haven’t tried to talk to her since, and to be honest with you I don’t think I want to. Avery may have been a spirit user with very powerful compulsion, but I have seen Lissa resisted her in some of things that she didn’t want to do. She didn’t do that with us, to her I wasn’t worth fighting for. And the crowd she hangs out with these days, she barely gives me a second glance. Something isn’t the same about her anymore Rose and I think of all the things that has happened since you have left, seeing her with Aaron and parading around with a crowd of a bunch of fake people is probably what hurts the most. I think sometimes it gets so bad that Adrian can't even stand to be around her and these are the people the type of people he grew up around.”
“Do you think that she is behaving like this because I left?”
“Whether you left or stayed Rose I don’t think I would have made a difference. And I think I was best that you did leave there is no telling what Avery would have done to you while you were here. You would have kept her away from Lissa and Adrian she would have done something to remove you from the equation and I don’t want to think of the things that she could have done.”
“Maybe she'll come around after I talk to her.”
“Don bother Rose. I don’t think that me and Lissa was meant to be. Besides I have my eyes set on someone else.” he said giving me another one of his trademark smiles.
“Who is she? Do I know her?” I asked excitedly. Christian had become one of my best friends to hear that he was moving on made me happy.
“She's a dhampir. And as for answering the other question, that one would have to hold off I don’t want you guessing. She doesn’t know that I like her yet and I don’t think she is ready to know.” he said looking at me in intently the emotions in his baby blue eyes were hard to decipher.
“Well I never knew you had a thing for dhampirs. I thought you went for the Moroi woman. And you never know she might be. You might just have to talk to her, you know, let her know that you exist.”
“She knows that I exist, and I talk to her very often. I just don’t think she is looking for a boyfriend right now, she just ended a stressful relationship. She needs time to heal from it.”
“Well don’t wait to long, she might get snatched up by someone else. Some girls don’t need a long time to move on.”
“What about you? Are do you need a long time to move on?” he asked trying and successfully taking the conversation away from his love life.
“I will always love Dmitri and part of me will always cry over what could have been with us. But I know that he would want me to love again. And I personally don’t want to put my life on hold for some one that is never coming back to me. Do I still hurt from the fact that he is dead? Yes. Do I regret the fact that I am the one that had to free him? No. Am I ready to move on from it all? Yes I am. I had almost four months to come to conclusion that me and Dmitri would never be. Even when he held me captive for almost three weeks making me his blood whore and I was leaving in a fantasy world thinking that I had my Dmitri back I knew that I didn’t and never would. My Dmitri died the night he was changed into a Strogoi. Now that he is free from being a Strogoi, I can finally be free to move on, and have a life that is my own.” I told him.
“You deserve a life of your own.” He told me as he wiped the tears from my face that I didn’t even know that fell. “Everything is going to be alright Rosemarie.” Usually my temper flares when people call me Rosemarie but hearing Christian say it didn’t really bother me. When I looked up into his eyes those undecipherable emotions were back and almost seemed intense. I don’t know why but something was telling me I should know what his eyes were trying to tell me, but I could figure it out.
“I know it will. Thanks for being here for me Pyro.” I told him as I threw my arms around him and hugged him.
“Always.” He told me as he hugged me back than kissed me on the top of my head. Then pulled back so he could look at me. “You can always count on me Rose.”
My breath caught when I realized how close his lips were to mine. I would be lying to myself if I said I haven’t imagined Christian kissing me these last few months. As wrong as it was being that I thought he was still with Lissa at the time. But that just wasn’t enough to stop me from thinking about it. During the time I was away Christian and I would talk about anything that was on either of our minds I would tell him more than I would tell Adrian. And in most ways I am closer to him than I am to Adrian. If I was honest to myself I still have my sanity because of Christian. He gave me hope when I was feeling at my low. And for some odd reason when I thought that Dmitri was finally going to do me in and kill me it was Christian that passed through my head.
“Can I kiss you Rose?” he asked as his lips were barely inch from mine.
Some part of me was screaming no, because this is Lissa's ex-boyfriend but another part of me the stronger part was screaming hell yes! Not trusting my voice I just nodded, he gave me a sexy smirk. When his lips touched mine it was earth shattering, almost like when Dmitri kissed me but so much more. I felt my eyes shutter close as his tongue swiped against my bottom lip asking for entrance, I didn’t think twice before letting him in. I heard myself moan as his tongue caressed mine. My hands seemed to be moving on their own accord when they reached into his hair and pulled his hair almost as though I was trying to get him closer to me, because lets be honest, I really truly wanted him to be closer to me.
After a while I need to come up for air but Christian's lips never left my skin as he started to kiss down my jaw, neck and collarbone than back up my neck. While his lips were busy his hands were definitely not idol. I didn’t even know when he slipped my jacket off, but I was definitely aware of his hands under my tank top squeezing my breast. This boy hands will be the death of me they were like magic. I knew from him manipulations that I was losing all coherent thoughts, and in doing so we both would soon be naked and connected. But I didn’t want it to happen here, not in the same place he an Lissa first had sex. So very reluctantly I pulled away from him, but I didn’t pull myself all the way from him I still wanted him close.
“Not here, Christian and not yet.” I told him after I caught my breath and my mind was less muddled.
“Whenever you are ready Rose.” he told me as he kissed my gently on my swollen lips then pulled away. “Let me walk you back to your rooms.”
“Thanks Christian.”
“You don’t have to thank me for anything Rose.” He said as he took my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze then brought it to his lips to kiss it.
“Christian?” I asked him as we made our way down the steps.
“Yeah?”
“Before this goes any further can I ask you something?”
“Anything you want.”
“When did you start having feelings for me?”
“Around the time you left. At the time I was with Lissa so I didn’t see it to clearly or even pay attention to it.” he said as he stopped us in front of the door. “I knew you were going to leave to after Dmitri I don’t know how I knew but I did. When I first snuck that phone in your bag it was to make sure that when Lissa got worried about you and I told her that you were fine I could actually mean it because I was able to communicate with you. After a while that became less of the reason and I begun to call you so for my own sake I could know you were okay. But to be honest with you after a while those calls weren’t enough anymore. I needed you to come back so I could see you, touch you” he said as he caressed my cheek. “At this point I knew I was screwed and this was also around the time you went missing. I was going out of my head with worry not knowing if you were alive and safe or dead. Every chance I got I was haggling Adrian to get in touch with you, but he couldn’t reach you. When he told me that my panic was full blown. Than when I saw you today it really hit me that I was falling for you. I may not have hit the bottom just yet, but I am pretty close. I know after everything you have gone through you still need some time before we can have a real relationship. I can be a patient man for you Rosemarie Hathaway, so I'll wait till you are ready.”
“You don’t have to wait Christian, I just don’t know how to tell Lissa or Adrian.”
“Adrian knows how I feel about you.”
“How?” I asked surprised.
“While you were away, we kind of mended our differences. Well it was mainly me coming to realize he wasn’t going to try and take Lissa away from me. And I don’t have very many friends to begin with, why turn away those who could possible make good friends. And with the added fact that he can read my aura which he did today when he came to tell me that you were back, but I had already known he read me like an open book.”
I chuckled at that. For someone that usually kept his feelings locked up I know that the fact he was read so easily annoyed him greatly.
“I wonder if that is what he wants to talk to me about tomorrow.”
“Among other things it probably is on the agenda.” he said as he opened the door for me.
“Thanks,” I mumbled to him as I walk through the opened door. When I looked up at the sky I could see that the sun was about to rise. Not good for Christian, for a guy that was already tired considering how late it was being caught in the sun would not be a good idea, this is after all a vampires night.
“Looks like you need to crash on my couch.” I told him as he took my hand and started to lead me to the guest quarters.
“Why?”
“The sun is about to rise silly. It may not kill you but it will make you extremely weak.”
“I think I can make it back to my room before it rises.”
“If you say so.” I told him I was going to let it drop because in the end I would be right. There was no way he was going to make back to his room before it rose. We were barely going to make to mine before it did.
“What are you doing later on today?”
“Going to the mall with Lissa. Adrian is letting me use his cards to get what I need. This will probably be the last time I use them. I already owe him enough if I charge anymore to those cards i'll be in debt for life.”
“Adrian will never take any of the money back, no matter how hard you try to give it to him. And I doubt you can ever spend so much on his card that you would even put a dent in his funds. Like many of the royals the Ivashkov's are extremely wealthy.”
“But that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t pay him back. He didn’t have to finance my little adventures.”
“You are his friend Rose, and you were in need of that money he did it because he wanted to not because he was obligated to do so.”
“Well I have to do something to let him know that I am thankful for him helping me.” I told him.
After that we were silent for the rest of the walk, and like I predicted the sun was out and shinning. Well I guess it was time for him to get acquainted with my couch.
“Well it looked like I was right. You are going to have sleep on my couch.” I said as I looked towards the sun rising above the trees.
“You take great pleasure in the fact that you were right don’t you?”
“Something like that.” I told him with a smile than headed into the building. My room was actually across the halls from Adrian so it didn’t take us long to find it. The set up of the room was similar to Adrian's and almost as big, but that didn’t bother me. I was just happy to have a bed to sleep in tonight. The last week I have barely had any sleep, since most of the time I spent trying to get back here.
“Not bad, definitely better than those crap dhampir dorms they put you guys in. Which if you think about is really lousy considering that for most of your lives you give up everything for us, why do you have to give up the little comforts in life to?”
“Because to most Moroi we dhampirs are nothing, just someone they want to throw in front of Strogoi so they can survive. But that is the way of the game, you get use to it after a while.”
“Well you shouldn’t have to get use to it” he said wrapping his arms around me from behind so his chest was against my back. “And if I have my way you will never have to do so again.” I shivered as his breath graved my ear. “You have an early day tomorrow, so you should go get some sleep.” he told me as he placed a kiss on the side of my head than stepped away from me.
“Is the couch going to be alright?”
“Yeah it will be just fine.” he gave me one last kiss on the lips before he gently pushed me towards my room.
I was to tired to really pay attention to what my room looked like as I headed to the bed I just barely had time to set the alarm before sleep claimed me.
