For anyone who is reading this-
This is a Fan Fiction story I came up with to show everyone what my mind came up with if Dimitri hadn't been turned Strigoi. Most of this is my own creation, but some of it I took from Shadow Kiss and Blood Promise. EVERYTHING I TOOK FROM THE BOOKS IS COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF IT.
Enjoy!!

I all but skipped to the gym Monday morning, an elated feeling blossoming in my chest. The weather was warm, for April that is. The sun was almost gone, sunset for humans. Early for the vampire world, though. I had gotten up earlier than usual, unable to wait another second.
I had chosen my outfit carefully. I wore black, elastic running shorts that barely hit my thigh, and a black, skimpy tank top over a sports bra. I spent about an hour last night rummaging through my closet until I found the sweatshirt with Cyrillic writing Dimitri had given me the night of the lust charm. (Don't think I gave that back.) I threw that on as I made it to the gym.
"Hey, comrade." I said as I slipped in the door. He smiled, and his eyes looked me over. "What are we doing today?"
"You're early." he said, coming over to me. He ran a hand through my hair, and I tried not to shiver.
"You didn't answer my question."
"Running," he said, pulling away. I followed him to the door.
"I thought we were done with running."
"You'll never be done with running."
"I will when I can run faster than you." I challenged. He raised an eyebrow.
"Never," he said. I drew myself closer to him, knowing what I could do.
"What if I could?" I asked. "I'll make you a bet."
"Try me."
"We race. Four laps around the track. If I win, you have to teach how to curse in Russian. If you lose, you have to kiss me."
He laughed. "That's hardly fair, Rose. What do I get if I win?"
I went up on my tip-toes and placed my arms around his neck. I put my face dangerously close to his. "What you desire most." I said. Then I pulled away and walked right out to the track.
DPOV
I watched her walk out the door, my heart still pumping from out last encounter. What I desire most, huh? Man, was I going to win this!
She was already stretching when I approached her, and she stood up immediately.
"You ready to go, comrade?" she asked me. I nodded.
We took our places, and I could almost feel the adrenaline pulsing from her body. "Four laps,"I clarified.
"Yup," she said. "Ready, set, GO!" she said, extremely fast. She bolted ahead of me, but I caught up to her soon enough. I keep an easy pace with her, both of us running as fast as we could go, yet both as fast as one another.
"Hey, Hathaway! Good job! I just love waching that body move!" I turned my head. It was the Zeklos, boy. He was up quite early, wasn't he? My blood boiled, and I half expected to see Rose charging at him, ready to make him bleed. But no, she ran, unaffected. It made me proud.
We almost done with our third lap. "I'm gonna win, comrade," she taunted. We were almost done. I could see her pushing herself, and I saw that there was a good chance she would win. No way in hell.
I pushed myself along with her, but she saw me, and she gave it all she had. We finished the lap, and she was obviously a second before me, but no way was I going to let her win.
"TIE!"
RPOV
"TIE!" he called. I turned around.
"What? I clearly won. There was no way you can say that we made it at the same time from ALL THE WAY BACK THERE! You have-" he put a finger to my lips.
"Roza, wait a minute," he said, chuckling to himself. "I said 'tie'. As in, we both win. Now, I believe we had made a bet, you see."
I shut up. "Are you going to teach me how to cuse in Russian?" I asked meekly.
He was thoughtgul for a second, then said "Fine." He whispered something in my ear, and I smiled. (AN: I couldn't figure out how to curse in Russian, and frankly it's 2 am and I'm tired so...whatevers.)
"Now, if you remember, I got two things." I held up two fingers in front of his face. "Do you remember?"
He grabbed my arm and oulled my inside the gym. He pulled me into the dark corner and pressed his lips to mine.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, and one hand found my waist, and the other my hair. It was passionate, different than what I expected, but none the less I enjoyed it.
After about a minute he pulled away, still very close.
"Did you forget about me?" he asked. I smiled.
"Tell me your desires," I asked seductively. He kissed me again.
"I want you, Roza," he murmured against my lips.
