Summary

In Shadow Kiss: Rose didn't tell Dimitri and the others about seeing ghosts because somebody told her not too. Someone who is long dead and shares the same secret as Rose...

Chapter One

The faces disappeared, and so did the pain as sweet black waters dragged me under.

I woke up in a beautiful meadow, with bright glowing green glass around me. I was laying down, with my long hair let loose. I was wearing a knee long white dress, which was beautiful too.

With hesitation, I sat up and looked around me. There were beautiful wild flowers around and nice flowing river. It was so peaceful. It was so Adrian.

"Okay Adrian!" I called as I stood up. "Come on out where ever you are!"

No answer, just the sound of the river not too far away from me.

Then a voice did answer; only it wasn't Adrian's.

"Rosemarie Hathaway?"

I turned around behind me to find a woman. She had nice long sunshine blonde hair with dazzling blue eyes. She was wearing a dress like me, but in the colour cream.

"Who are you?" I asked as I stepped away from her as she walked toward me.

She gave me a sweet smile. "There's no need to be afraid Rose, I'm not going to hurt you." Weirdly as it sounds, as soon as she said that, I felt safe. So that's why I didn't move when she continued toward me. We were now 5 feet away from each other when she stopped walking.

"Who are you?" I asked again.

She did a nice short soft laugh before answering, "My birth name was Anastasia Fletcher, but now in your world I am known as Shadow-Kissed Anna."

I gasped, "You're...Anna." I looked at her up and down. She hardly looked like a Dhampir, but she was dead as well.

She smiled again and nodded. "Yes I am, and you're Shadow-Kissed Rose."

I laughed now too. "Yeah I guess I am. But I hope you don't mind me asking, where are we?"

She looked around and continued to smile. "St. Vlambir's."

I swear my jaw nearly hit the ground. "Wh-what? Where's the school?" I asked as I looked around.

Anna did her soft laugh again, "This is what 's looked like before the school was built."

"Oh," was all I replied with as I looked around. I turned back to Anna, "Why are we even here?"

She signs, "We are here because we have to talk." She turns around and walks towards the river. I follow slowly behind. "Tell me what you saw on the plane Rose."

I paused as she turned towards me with a serious look. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Rose don't play dumb with me, I know you saw ghosts. Mason's ghost." I flinched, as far as I know I haven't told anyone one about seeing Mason's ghost.

"How do you know about that?" I asked.

"Because it happened to me." She said as she looked at the ground and then back to me. "Since your Shadow-Kissed Rose it means alot of things are happening to you right now."

"Like what?"

"Like seeing ghosts." She told me and started walking on the edge of the river. "And you bond to Lissa. And other things."

"What does 'other things' mean?" I asked.

"It means that your only on the second stage, you still have a long way to go until you're a full Shadow Warrior."

"Shadow Warrior?" Anna nods and I chuff out a laugh. "Seriously?"

Ignoring my last comment, she continues, "You are only a Shadow Child, since you have passed through the first stage you are only on the second stage of turning into a Shadow Warrior."

"And how did I pass through the first stage."

She looks at me close fully before sighing, "By seeing death. You saw you friend, Mason, get killed, right?"

I held back the tears and nodded. "Yes."

"To get passed the first stage you need to have a strong bond with the spirit user who healed you from the dead. Learn how to get in and out of her head and block her feelings. Also see death." She struggled to say the last part.

As much as I wanted this to be a dream, I knew who I was talking to now was Anna. The Anna. So I kept on asking questions. "What do I need to do to get passed the second stage? How many stages are their?"

"There are about five stages. The second stage is that you need to learn how to control seeing ghosts when your outside the wards and...the darkness."

"The darkness?"

She sighs again, "You know when your bond-mate, Lissa, cut herself because of her powers?" I nodded, "Well that was the darkness in using her power that made her do that. But now that your bond has grown, the darkness now travels into you."

I blinked a couple of times taking in what she said, "How...is this even possible? It's not real."

She half smiled, "In the human world, were not suppose to be real, but we are." Hmm, she had a point.

Then everything started fade.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"You're starting to wake up." She said as she came up to me and grabbed me by the shoulders.

"Please don't go," I begged, "I have so many questions."

"Don't worry, your'll see me next time you go to sleep, but now I need you not tell anyone about me or the ghosts you saw on the plane, not even Lissa."

What? Was she crazy? I couldn't keep this to myself. "But how? What am I suppose to tell them when I wake up?"

"Tell them anything, but not about this. If you do you could put them in danger, do you really want that?" She asked me with a hard voice. I shook my head. "Good." She kisses me on the forehead.

Just before the dream faded I heard her whisper, "Be safe young Hakim."

Then the dream faded.

I woke up in the infirmary, which was turning out to be my favourite place at the moment. My talk with Anna ran through my mind again. Not tell anyone about me or the ghosts you saw. Right like that was going to be easy.

"Hello Rose." I looked to my right to find Dr. Olendzki. "How are you feeling?"

"Great." I choked as I looked around. Then I look towards the back of the room to find Alberta and Dimitri there.

Alberta stepped forwards and said, "May we?" the doctor nodded and both Alberta and Dimitri walked over to the bed. Dimitri sat at the seat next to my bed, which made me feel much more safer.

Silence fell which made me uncomfortable about as I sat up in my bed.

"Rose..." Began Alberta, she was struggling what to ask as if she didn't want to hurt my feelings. Dimitri took over.

"Rose, what happened back there?" Before I could say something he adds, "And do not say it was nothing this time." I wanted to tell them, but then the word 'not' jumped into my brain.

"That's because it was nothing." I said not looking at anyone my the wall up ahead.

"We only want to help you Rose." Said Dr Olendzki.

"I'm fine." I took a deep breath, I knew that I was going to lie now, but didn't mean that I liked it. I hated lying. "It was a headache that was really bad was all." Even a baby could tell I was lying by the way that it sounded.

"What happened?" Alberta asked, I turned to meet her eyes, "On the plane. What did you mean by 'make them go away'?"

I rubbed the back of my neck and looked down. "What I meant to say was 'make it go away'", I don't think I would win the Oscars anytime soon, but at least I was trying.

"Rose." I turned towards Dimitri who voice sounded as soft as my skin. "Please."

Something almost cracked in me, but then I remembered Anna and the questions that still need to be answered. As much as I hated lying, even to Dimitri, I had to.

"It was nothing," I said looking away from everyone, "It was just a headache." I finally looked to the doctor who was giving me a strange look. "Can I go now?"

She nods, "Yes you may go."

After that I got changed into some clothes and I was ready to go. Dimitri told me he'll walk me to Christian's (since I still have to guard him) dorm and I wasn't looking forward to it. When we left the infirmary, there was some silence between us.

Until I said, "Nice weather we're having?" I tried to joke.

Then Dimitri came to a stop and turned so that he was blocking my path. I quickly stopped before running into him. He reached out and grabbed my arm, pulling me closer to him more than I would of expected him to do in an open area.

"Rose," There was pain in his voice that was making my heart hurt. "Why were you lying there? There's no reason to keep this from us, we can help you. Do you know what it was like to see you in so much pain and didn't know what was happening? Do you know how scared I was?"

I was a little taken back from what he said to me but then again I knew that everyone in the room knew that I was hiding something. Right there and then I wanted to tell him. But then like Anna said, I could put him in danger. But then I said the most stupidest thing ever.

"You're not afraid of anything."

"I'm scared of lots of things. I was scared for you." He worry didn't move from his face when he said, "I'm not perfect. I'm not invulnerable."

"I know, it's just..." I didn't know what else to say.

"Rose, I know your scared, but you don't have to be. People here, they can help you, Lissa can help you and...me."

I closed my eyes for a moment, taking in what he said and getting ready to lie to him again. When I opened them again I said, "It was just a headache."

And with that, I walked away.

So what do you guys think? Nay or Yay? What do you think about the story twist? And about Anna? Next down here is going to be Rose's character profile, for anything that might be new I'll do a little profile on it. If anything changes to it in the story then I'll redo

Rosemarie Elizabeth "Rose" Hathaway is the main character of the story and protagonist since it comes from her POV. Before the books happened she was 15 year old Dhampir girl who was best friends with Lissa Dragomir and hoping to be her future guardian. But when Lissa's parents and brother all die in an car ancient, a bond is formed between them, at this time it was unknown that Rose died and Lissa brought her back using her healing powers, therefore making a bond. They both left the academy so that they could get away from the people who wanted to hurt Lissa.

They were brought back two years later by Dimitri Belikov, Lissa's new guardian. Rose was going to be kicked out of school, but then Dimitri offered to be her mentor to catch up. Then Rose started looking into Lissa's power and shortly found out that she is a Spirit user and that she is Shadow-Kissed, the only reason for their bond is because that Lissa brought her back from the dead. Before she could tell anyone, Victor kidnapped her in hoping that she could heal him from his illness. But after that Victor was put in prison for his. While this was happening, Rose and Dimitri almost had sex under a Lust Charm. At first Dimitri doesn't admit his feelings, but after Rose was attacked he tells her how he truly feels about her.

It's been sometime after what happened in and Lissa is going out with a boy, Christian Ozera, whom Rose keeps getting stuck in Lissa's head when they're having sex. Which Rose is learning to control. Rose's feelings towards Dimitri continue to grow. However when Christian's aunt, Tasha, shows up, Dimitri shows some interest in her. This angers Rose into getting into a relationship with her good friend Mason Ashford. After finding dead bodies at a house where she was suppose to do her test she missed while she was away, the academy is sent to a ski holiday for Christmas. While there Her and Dimitri get into a fight, (before going she kissed him) and have been mean to each other ever since as Dimitri's and Tasha's friendship grows. Also Rose meets Adrian Ivashkov, a royal Moroi, well known for having sex with Dhampir girls. Because of this she gets into some fights with her friends, even Mason, which leads into some kind of break up. But when Rose goes to make it official after talking to Dimitri, she finds out he's gone to Spokane with Mia Rinaldi and Eddie Castile, to hunt down the Strigoi. After failing to mind control the guards with Christian, Rose hits them over the head and they both go after the three. Shortly after finding them, they are kidnapped by humans who work for Strigoi. In a basement, Rose meets Elena and Isaiah, whom are the Strigoi in charge. After ticking the humans a day later, Christian, Mia, Eddie and Mason get out, while Rose stays behind to fight both Elena and Isaiah alone. However Mason comes to help her, but is shortly killed by Isaiah and then Rose kills both of them. After that Dimitri and the other guardians come and take them home. Rose gets her first marks and youngest to do so. Dimitri tells Rose that he is in love with her and told Tasha "no" he wouldn't be her guardian.

It's nearly been a month since what happened to Mason and Rose starts seeing his ghost. Thinking it wasn't real, she goes on like nothing is going on. But finds herself more angry than before, too angry for her. But she's was "Rose" angry when she found out she had to guard Christian and not Lissa for her training. However she got to get to know Christian and realised he wasn't so bad. Rose finds out that Victor's trail is soon and Adrian manages to get her and Lissa at the trail. While at Court, Dimitri and Rose see Victor, after he sends a note to Rose, telling her he is going to tell everyone about her and Dimitri's feelings for each other. After that it's the trail and Victor is proven guilty, after that he tells the whole Court about Rose and Dimitri. But no one believes him. As they get back Rose screams as she sees ghosts around her and a lot of pain in her head. After she passed out she meets Anna in her dream and tells her what she is. Rose doesn't tell anyone about this as Anna told her not too.

Relationships

Lissa Dragomir -: Rose and Lissa have been best friends since they were little, like sisters. Their bond becomes stronger after Lissa's family is killed and Rose becomes Shadow-Kissed to Lissa. Because of their bond it makes them unbreakable. However their friendship might be tested as Rose will have to lie to her about being Shadow-Kissed.

Dimitri Belikov -: Lissa's guardian and Rose's love interest. They started falling for each other in their first training lessons. Ever since they found out about each other's feelings, they have been trying to hide them.

Janine Hathaway -: Rose's mother, they are not close however they got to know each other a bit more in the ski trip and after Mason's death. Janine and Rose's bloodline will be involved in the storylines to come.

Physical Appearance -:

Rose has dark brown hair with lighter brown eyes and tanned skin. She has nice curves which makes what the boys say "sexy". She is normal height but is taller than her mother and shorter than Dimitri. Her appearance might change in the future because of her Shadow-Kissed status.
