Flashback 12 years
Sitting on the swings in the park, I noticed a Dhampir girl by herself, sitting on the park bench. She was beautiful; her hair was a deep brown colour, almost black. Her skin was like an inside of an almond, rich, yet exotic. Mustering all the courage I could manage, I decided to write her a note.
Dear girl,
You are really pretty, when I grow up, I promise to marry you.
Love,
A.
Finishing the note, I confidently walked over to where she was sitting
"Hi!" I called, before she could have a chance to reply, I gave her the note, then ran back off to the swing. My face blushed red from embarrassment. When does a girl have this much of an effect on me? I love getting attention, especially from cute girls yet there is something about this girl, which is different. I closed my eyes, attempting to withdraw any thoughts of her from my mind. Slowly, I opened them again and there she was, standing right in front of me. I jumped a little, panicked slightly.
"Look, you're sweet and pretty cute but if you haven't noticed already I'm a Dhampir." She stated, looking at me straight in the eye
"I might be a Moroi but I'm not dumb. I could see that." I replied to her.
She rolled her eyes at me before holding her hand out to mine
"I don't think I introduced myself, my name's Rose. I'm six" she said confidently as I shook her hand
"Nice to meet you Rose, I'm Adrian." I replied, giving her a friendly smile.
Sitting on the swing next to mine, she started to talk
"So Adrian, How old are you? You look about eight."
I laughed, before replying with the biggest grin on my face,
"I'm actually ten."
"So, are you like royal? Where are your parents? Or guardians for that matter?" She asked, looking around the child filled playground
"Yeah, I am a royal and my parents are here with their guardians somewhere." I said, moving my legs backwards and forwards to swing higher.
"Whoa! Sorry Adrian but now that you said that, we have no chance being together. Not one bit." She replied, with a small smile on her face.
"Don't worry little Dhampir, I'll find a way, just wait and see." I said with a determined voice.
In the background, I faintly heard Rose's name being shouted.
"I guess I have to go Adrian, I guess this is goodbye." She said to me, before waving and then running off.
"Bye My little Dhampir, I hope we meet again." I whispered to the spot where she was, watching her figure fade softer until she was gone, just like that, out of my life.
**End of Flashback*
Sitting on the veranda of the ski lodge, I inhaled my cigarette, slightly drunk from the endless supply of beer stashed in my room. Of course there was a logical reason behind it, but no one had ever asked me why. They just….. Presume I am a drunken player. Looking out at the ski hill, I spotted two people, skiing their way done in a competitive manner. By the speed they were going, obviously they were Dhampir's. After a few moments of watching them race, I stood up and walked over to the bar, and asked the bartender for a cup of Russian Vodka. He walked over and grabbed the bottle, quickly pouring it into my cup. When he placed it down, I stalked off without saying a word, heading back outside when I saw her. My little Dhampir. Even though I met her twelve years ago, I still remember her every detail. Even though she was covered in her skiing outfit, she was one hell of a beauty. Hoping she would remember me I called out in her direction "Little Dhampir! Come over here!" She turned around and saw me, she frowned slightly before walking over.
"Yeah?" She asked me, obviously not remembering me from twelve years ago. I leaned up against the wall behind me before grinning, "Just saying, that's all." I replied.
By Now, Most girls would've begged me to take them back to my room, but she wasn't like most. She studied my face intently before taking a few steps back
"You smell good." I blurted out, causing her to stop in her tracks.
"I … umm what?" She replied, confused.
"You smell good." I replied, slowing it down as if she didn't understand what I was saying
"Are you joking? I've been sweating all day. I'm disgusting." She obviously needed to be somewhere but the look in her eye said that she wanted to stay with me.
"Sweat isn't a bad thing," I said, as I looked upward thoughtfully. "Some of the best things in life happen while sweating. Yeah, if you get too much of it and it gets old and stale, it turns pretty gross. But on a beautiful woman? Intoxicating. If you could smell things like a vampire does, you'd know what I'm talking about. Most people mess it all up and drown themselves in perfume. Perfume can be good ... especially if you get one that goes with your chemistry. But you only need a hint. Mix about 20 percent of that with 80 percent of your own perspiration...mmm." I said, tilting my head to the side before looking at her. "Dead sexy."
Rose looked away, trying to hide the blush which crept onto her face.
"Thanks for the hygiene lesson." She replied "But I don't own any perfume, and I was just about to go and wash all this sweaty stuff off me."
I rolled my eyes before pulling out a cigarette. I took a swig of my booze before offering Rose one just out of politeness.
"Bad habit." She replied, before looking down to the floor.
"You here with St Vlad's?" I asked.
"Yup."
"So you're going to be a guardian when you grow up?" I asked her, stating the obvious yet again.
"Obviously."
I studied her Aura trying to get a hold of the colours. I saw a faint bit of green but mostly, It was covered In black. Frowning slightly, I wondered what could've caused such a large amount of darkness to be in her aura.
"How long till you graduate?" I asked her. "I might need a guardian."
"I graduate in the spring." She replied, "But I'm already spoken for. Sorry."
I was puzzled as whom the lucky guy was, and why she already has gotten assigned. Most Dhampir's don't get their charge until after graduation.
"Really? Who is he?" I asked her, edging closer to the truth.
"She's Vasilisa Dragomir." She replied.
"Ah" I replied, finally piecing together the last piece of the puzzle.
"You're Janine Hathaway's daughter."
"I'm Rose Hathaway." She corrected, gritting her teeth. For some reason, she despised her mother.
I took out my hand and shook hers, just like our meeting 12 years ago.
"Adrian Ivashkov." I replied
"And you think I'm trouble." I heard her mumble under her breath. Obviously judging me
"Both our reputations precede us." I replied, beaming a smile In her direction.
"You don't know anything about me, and I don't know anything about you." She replied disgruntled.
"Want to?" I taunted, leaning in closer to her.
"Sorry I don't date older guys." She replied, edging further and further away from me.
"I'm 21, not that much older." I laughed back at her, the effects of the vodka slightly kicking in.
"I have a boyfriend." She quickly replied. I wondered why she didn't bring this up earlier
"He didn't give you that black eye did he now?" I asked.
A small blush crept onto her cheeks before she replied
"No, I got it during practice. I mean, I am training to be a guardian."
"She got it from her mom, you know." Replied a voice, edging closer to us, "A new boy?"
"Hey Mia!" Rose angrily replied, lifting her eyes up to the girl.
She looked only about 11 to me, her blonde curls exaggerating her child-like features.
"Mia, this is Adrian Ivashkov." Rose said, venom dripping off each word.
I shook her hand. "Always a pleasure to meet a friend of Rose's, especially a pretty one." Honestly, I wasn't interested in her at all. She looked like a child and I preferred brunettes anyway.
"We aren't friends." Rose replied quickly, gritting her teeth
"Rose only hangs out with guys and psychopaths," said the Mia girl, staring at me with hopeful eyes.
"Well," I said cheerfully, "since I'm both a psychopath and a guy, that would explain why we're such good friends."
"You and I aren't friends either." Rose told me.
"Playing hard to get huh?" I replied.
"She's not that hard to get," said Mia, clearly upset that I was paying more attention to Rose. "Just ask half the guys in our school."
"Yeah," Rose retorted, "And you can ask the other half about Mia. If you can do a favor for her, she'll do lots of favors for you."
A flicker of embarrassment passed over her face, but she held her ground.
"Well," she said, "at least I don't do them for free."
"Are you done?" Rose asked. "It's past your bedtime, and the grown-ups would like to talk now." Her youthful looks were obviously a sour spot for her which Rose got satisfaction for exploiting.
"Sure," she said crisply. Her cheeks turned pink. "I have better things to do anyway." She turned towards the door then headed out.
Rose and I stood together quietly before I decided to break the silence
"Your Mum did that?" I asked, coughing on the newly lit cigarette.
"Shut up." She grumbled, looking down to the floor.
"You're one of those people who either has soul mates or mortal enemies, aren't you? No in-between." I said to her.
"I guess," She started, " Look Adrian, I'm tired now and your cigarettes are giving me a headache."
I pouted my lips before replying
"Some women think they're sexy."
"I think you smoke them so you have something to do while thinking up your next witty line." She scoffed.
"Well, goodnight Rose, I hope to see you again soon." I said, slightly raising my hand in the air.
"Not likely." She snorted. "Remember, I'm not into older guys."
She turned around, glanced over her shoulder at me, before making her way back to her room.
Rose wasn't like all those other girls. I thought to myself. Somehow, I need to get to know her better. She has landed herself a spot in Adrian Ivashkov's heart.
