"So Liss, what are we going to do for this Halloween?" Asked Rose, while laying on Lissa's bed in the Moroi dorm. Lissa was twirling a strand of her blond hair, while trying to think of an idea.
"We could always dress as someone who is the opposite of our personalities, maybe I could be Buffy the Vampire Slayer and you could be Bell from Beauty and the Beast," suggested Lissa, knowing well enough Rose, would disagree.
Rose's eyes went wide. "I would never wear a fluffy gown Liss."
"Than what should we do Rose? Really this is our last year in St. Vladimir's, I want it to be special," complained Lissa, She crossed her arms and pouted. Rose dropped her arm on her eyes and sighed.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Lissa quickly walked towards the door and opened it. There standing outside was the whole student body, Moroi and dhampir standing outside in the hallway. They were all looking at Rose and Rose knew what they are waiting for?
Rose groaned and pushed herself off the bed. She looked at Lissa, who shrugged her shoulders in return. Rose sighed and stepped out of Lissa's room. The entire senior's were standing outside waiting anxiously.
"Hello little dhampir," said Adrian Ivashkov, looking handsome as always. He was wearing dark-blue jeans and a white polo shirt. His hair was styled in a messy way as always.
"So Rose what is the plan for this year's Halloween?" Asked Christian Ozera. He was wearing black jeans with a black fitting shirt and of course he was smirking, knowing well enough that Rose doesn't have a great plan for this Halloween.
"Yeah," said the rest, while nodding their heads excitedly, some even clapped their hands excitedly. Rose groaned loudly and crossed her arms.
"First year we partied in the cabins," Rose raised one finger. Everyone nodded confirming that. She raised another finger and said. "Second year we did it in the Elementary building," everyone grinned remembering how they frightened the elementary kids.
"That was a blast!" said Eddie Castle. He high fived Meredith, who was standing next to him. Rose grinned and said.
"But you don't have an idea for this last year Rosie" said Christian, while putting an arm around Lissa's shoulders. Lissa blushed a bit, causing the boys to whistle.
Then everyone looked at Rose waiting. She growled in frustration. She slapped her forehead and said.
"There isn't any place, really this school doesn't have any useful places it has large woods they could at least build more building" Rose suddenly gasped causing everyone to look at her.
"What is it little dhampir," asked a very curious Adrian. Rose turned her head towards him with grin plastered on her face. She looked from right to left to make sure juniors aren't listening to their conversation. The rest did the same looking for any junior trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. Rose motioned for everyone to come closer with her index finger. Everyone inched closer.
Everyone looked curious and Rose knew that the idea she has will be the best and it will be a Halloween to remember.
"We are going to party in the woods," she whispered, everyone took seconds to process what Rose is saying.
"But what if we were attacked by strigois, you know Guardians won't let us party there," stated Camellia Conta looking scared.
"Don't worry we'll bring our stakes and will make shifts for us to be on guard, agree?" Rose put her hand in front and the others put their hands on hers.
"Agreed." Everyone said in union.
Halloween Night
Rose was wearing a red riding hood costume. She was wearing ankle high boots, a short black dress and on top of that the famous red riding hood cloak. He hair was down, she curled her hair, so it would look like waves. Rose applied red lipstick, mascara and a blush. Her stake was strapped down on her left leg. She looked dangerous, not the real picture of red riding hood.
"Rose, psst Rose," called Eddie from Rose's window. Rose walked towards her window opening it. She looked down and saw no one, but Eddie, which means everyone safely went to the woods without the Guardians noticing.
Rose purposely told Dimitri that they were going to do it in the Elementary building this Halloween and of course she pretended that she blurted it out.
Dimitri was still suspicious, but when he told the other Guardian's they were too easily fooled. That's why a big amount of Guardian's is now staying in the Elementary dorm, waiting for them.
Rose started to climb down from her window and of course Eddie, being the gentleman gave her his back, so he wouldn't look up her dress, while she climbs down, while she was climbing down the hood got stuck by a branch. Rose tried to pull it off, but sadly it was still stuck.
"Shit," she cursed, making Eddie freak out, just what she didn't need. She tried pulling it, but it needed more force. She needs to use both of her hands and Rose, being the reckless one, used both of her hands, while steading herself on the edge of the wall.
She pulled it with too much force that caused her to lose her balance and fall backwards, she wanted to scream, but held herself, not wanting to alert the Guardian's. She closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come, but instead she felt strong arms catching her.
From the warm feelings she started to feel she knew well enough, who that person is, or more likely her savior.
"Dimitri," she breathed, looking up she saw his concerned face. His hair wasn't tied up today, making it frame his gorgeous face that made her feel butterflies in her stomach. The smell of his aftershave made her take another deep breath, filling her nose with his scent, which caused her to shiver.
"Roza, why do you have to be this reckless?" He sighed in relief and hugged her closer, while burying his face in her hair. Rose wanted to stay in his arms forever the warm feeling that spread in her body made her feel like she's where she belongs and of course Eddie had to ruin the moment.
"Ehmm" Eddie cleared his throat, looking confused at what Rose and Dimitri are doing, still naïve to the fact that Rose and Dimitri love each other. Rose was planning to tell them after graduation.
Dimitri quickly let go of Rose and Rose cleared her throat and gave Dimitri a pleading look.
"Please Dimitri don't tell anyone, this is my last Halloween in ST. Vladimir's I want it to be special…" Dimitri cut Rose off by putting a hand on her mouth. Rose was confused and so was Eddie.
"Keep it down or they'll find out." Rose didn't process what he was saying at first, but then when she did she felt her eyes widen in shock.
"You won't tell anyone." Rose mumbled. Dimitri smiled his rare smiles that Rose would consider herself lucky to see. Rose noticed that each day that comes that graduation is getting closer, Dimitri would feel more and more happy and at ease, which made her see another side of Dimitri.
Rose then noticed that she and Dimitri are staring at each other, which made Eddie suspicious, but he kept his questions to himself for now.
Rose and Dimitri snapped out of it and cleared their throats, Dimitri once and Rose twice. Rose could feel herself blushing, not because Eddie witnessed it, but because of how Dimitri was looking at her.
The way Dimitri looks at her is different from any other male population. They would always look at Rose with lust in their eyes, or hatred or rare times Eddie would look at her like she's his sister.
Rose looked at Dimitri, while trying to look normal, but with the way her heart is beating like crazy, she couldn't utter a word.
"Umm.. Guardian Belikov can we go now?" asked Eddie feeling awkward. Dimitri looked at Eddie and said.
"On one condition," said Dimitri.
"What?" Rose asked and then she noticed for the first time that he wasn't wearing his duster. He was wearing black jeans and a white button up shirt and a black leather jacket. Rose's eyes went wide. Dimitri looked much younger and hot.
Dimitri picked up a motorcycle helmet and put it on. Rose couldn't help, but burst out laughing like a hyena. Dimitri groaned and took off his helmet.
"Please Dimitri don't tell me you'll be guarding the academy with the helmet on," Rose asks between bursts of laughter.
"Actually I'm going with you guys to make sure everything goes smoothly," Rose's jaw dropped on the floor. Dimitri can't come, it's the rule of Halloween it should be without any Guardians and with the way Dimitri looked serious Rose knew she couldn't convince him not to.
"Fine, but on one condition," Dimitri raised an eyebrow. He crooked his head to the side and said with amusement in his eyes.
"And what's that?" Rose grinned and said.
"You have to get rid of the helmet."
"Ouch! Rose stop stomping on my foot!" Complained Eddie, Rose glared at him in the night and said between gritted teeth.
"That's all your fault, why did you forget to bring extra batteries for the flashlight? Now I can't see anything."
"I swear I put them in my backpack," said Eddie feeling frustrated. Dimitri was walking behind them, not offering any type of help, which annoyed Rose.
"Dimitri, I'm sure you have night vision eyes, can you please show us the place," Rose begged Dimitri for the fourth time.
"No, this is a lesson, you should learn how to use your other senses and concentrate on one place at a time." Dimitri instructed.
"But it would take forever," Rose complained. Dimitri just kept quiet, which caused Rose to growl in frustration. Dimitri smiled in the dark amusingly, secretly loving the way Rose acts when she's angry.
They kept walking in circles; Eddie would always stumble and fall on his ass, which caused Rose to laugh even though she can't see him. The third time Eddie fell, he growled in frustration and said.
"It's your turn Rose, you should take the lead," Rose huffed and said.
"Fine, we will be there in no time," and started to walk.
Fifteen minutes later..
"I can't believe it! We are still not there!" complained Rose, Eddie smirked at the dark and said with smugness in his voice.
"See you suck too," Rose smacked Eddie on the back of his head and said.
"No I'm not and I'll show you, we will be there in no time."
"Please, like I didn't hear that before," said Eddie
'SMACK'
Another fifteen minutes later..
"Where the hell are we?" asked Rose.
"Well you're close if that helps," said Dimitri, being helpful for the first time that night. Rose growled in frustration and started to march forward not caring if she ran into a tree.
Suddenly Rose was pulled backwards, she complained. "Hey let me go Eddie,"
"Umm.. Rose I'm not holding you," said Eddie. Rose felt hot breath on her neck, then the smell of Dimitri's aftershave hit her and she knew that Dimitri is the one that is holding her. Suddenly she felt him kiss her neck, she gasped in shock, which caused Eddie to panic.
"Rose are you okay?" asked a worried Eddie waving his hands in front to search for Rose.
"I..I'm fine" she stuttered, she felt Dimitri smile against her skin; she could feel her self blush furiously and feel warm all over. Dimitri kissed the same spot again then let go of her and walked inches behind and said.
"I'll lead the way this time" Eddie sighed in relief and Rose was too flustered to say or do anything.
