Disclaimer: I do not own any characters... but if Richelle Meade wanted to give me Dimitri then I wouldn't complain (hint hint)

This is my first VA fanfic, i need to know if you like it or I won't continue it, please review :D I even welcome criticism, (preferably constructive)

Rose's POV

I was shivering. Badly, and I have no idea why. I mean I was in bed, fully dressed with an extra thick jumper on and I was still freezing. Drifting off slightly, I tuned into Lissa and the heat wave that hit me was such that I started thinking I was ill. Dhampirs don't get sick all that often, and when they do it usually only lasts a few days, apparently we have good immune systems or something like that.

***

Lissa was on her mini balcony in a tank top and shorts, another thing that made me think i was CWC (Cold Without Cause cool eh?) hand in hand with Christian which made me want to get out of there but the warmth was so nice; and anyway they were only watching the sunrise in silence, she wasn't tired yet but she knew that it wouldn't be long before they would have to go inside or the sun would make them uncomfortable. She was happy. She was so happy and content that it just isn't fair, I-no she wanted Christian and her to stay that way forever, holding onto the moment. They did stay like that for maybe an hour or more.
Lissa was thinking about me, wondering if I was OK. Since we were dragged back to the Acadamy by Dimitri Belikov, (my totally hot Russian mentor who I do admit to having a bit more than a crush on, but only to myself. I hadn't even told Lissa.) She thinks i've changed, I mean, lately I haven't spent as much time with her as I used to, because Dimitri doubled my extra training sessions with him since I nagged him for about a month to teach me to fight. She thinks I look tired and drawn, despite my snarky attitude and with a pang in my own chest I realise that thoughts of me are what is stopping her from being purely happy at that moment, that and the magic, constantly taunting her, it's a good thing Christian is there or she may have had to use the mysterious spirit element, just to shut it up for a bit. Love stopped her.

When the sun was just enough to make Moroi feel the effects; Christian wrapped his arm around her shoulders and I felt her skin tingle, she leaned into him, breathing his scent, then they turned around and …

Whoa. The connection faded and I was hit by the cold again, ugh, this sucked. I turned over thinking about what Lissa had been feeling, how much I ached for one moment of that complete love and happiness that she felt for Christian. Only… not with Christian, I would much rather someone really tall, and maybe who had a Russian accent…

I sighed. This was sooo not helping me feel better; I decided to take a hot shower; that might warm me up.

I winced as I flung the duvet off me and allowed even more cold to seep its way into my body and padded to the bathroom,

Removing my clothes was beyond painful, as each layer hit the floor, more freezing air would blast into me, and pretty soon, my teeth were chattering as if I were a nudist in Antarctica … or maybe Siberia.

I allowed myself a wry smile before stepping into the shower. When I said hot shower I meant HOT, it was on full heat blast which was enough to make my skin blister slightly, but I couldn't feel it, to me it was lukewarm at best, the cold had gotten into my bones, chilling me to my core, still it was better than the barrage of icy air so I stayed under until the hot water started to run out, then I wrapped a towel (that I had put on the radiator) around me, as I passed the mirror I groaned, I looked a mess,

My skin was red raw and blistered in places, I winced from the sight, but I couldn't feel it, I shrugged and went to blow dry my hair, turning it on my body as well in hope of feeling warmth.

No such luck.

I dressed in my warmest PJs and my fluffy bed socks. Still not warm I threw on three jumpers and jumped into bed. There really wasn't much else I could do, and I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep.

OK heres the deal, I need at least 5 reviews before I continue this story, I know there isn't much plot yet but it will get better ... Promise! but only if you review :)

Love Tibbins xx
