Elemental - (A Vampire Academy Fanfiction) [ON HOLD]

3 months later

The queen is dead.

I still can't believe it myself. I watched as the guardians carried her casket through the court, still in total shock of this up and coming. I mean, I didn't seen this coming, and I'm a got damn pyshic!

Adrian and I, are on complicated terms. I'd visit his dreams every now and then, he'd visit my dreams. We'd chat, and he'd give me weird looks when he though I wasn't looking. When I'd ask him about the looks he'd leave, so we hardly ever spoke in person. Our relatonship is getting weird.

I saw him at the funeral, looking more haunted and tormented than usual. That's what we shared. There was always something haunting us, following us no matter what we do. Today he let that show.

I knew Rose was in Lissa's mind because of the way it showed in Lissa's aura. Her aura changes when Rose is with her. A lot of people don't catch it but I do. If you're very accustomed and use to the spirit world, you could easily tell there was a spirit attached to Lissa's arua whenever Rose was around. The spirit wasn't dead, so it didn't have any physical feautures. Mostly it was just an transparent outline latched onto Lissa.

I looked at Adrian and instantly regretted it. He was sober....which is never a good thing. Sure, when he drinks he can get a disease, but when he's not drinking he's more tormented than usual. I had an urge to run over there, wrap my arms around his waist, and tell his everything was fine. I'd kiss him if it'd make him happy!

As the funeral service ended, many people started talking shit about Rose. Lissa immiediately defended her, saying she didn't kill her and telling people of her alibi. Adrian stepped in immiediately after, defending her also and then dissapearing after a little while. My old guardians walked up to me, and sighed.

"We'll have to escort you back to your room," Jackass #1 said. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. Things would get complicated now.

I hung my head low as I walked back to the palace. I knew Adrian was feeling as low as I feel now. Hell, everyone was feeling how I was feeling.

As soon as I entered the room, I collasped on the ground. I needed to sleep off this grief. I could cry more in the morning.

The dream started out normal. I would be in a room, completely white, and then that room would transcend into a beautiful beach that had sparkling sand and beautiful waves and-.

This isn't my dream.

When I looked over, sure enough Adrian was sitting across from me, under a yellow umbrella, in only swim trunks, leaving a delicious veiw of his abs and toned legs, ready for the jumping. I literally drooled at the sight of him, but I had to control myself. He's just a friend. He's just a friend. He's just a frie-.

"Hello, Vladimair," he said, narrowing his eyes. Oh no. He only calls me by last name when he's mad at me. "You never really did tell me why you were in the palace."

I flinched. Woah, what's up with the attitude? I didn't do anything!

"Yeah," I said, avoiding his gaze. "I wanted to talk to you about tha-."

"Cece, I heard some of the guardians talking the other day," he said in a serious tone. "They said they arrested a Moroi for going on a Strigoi hunt and endangering herself. They were going to send her to a crazy house when the queen stopped them." He looked at me seriously. "Would that Moroi be you?"

I gulped and shrunk back from his cold gaze. When Adrian gets mad, he gets mad. That's why it's dangerous to set him off. I'm pretty sure Rose has seen a little of that side already. It's nothing compared to what I've seen. 

"Listen Adrian, I was going to tell you about it, but-."

"But WHAT?!" he roared in anger. "Don't you ever think about yourself, and about those around you?! I could've lost you, Cece! If you hadn't have survived that Strigoi hunt, who knows what I would have done?! You don't understand how much I depend on you Cece! You don't understand how much I need you here!" His face looked both enraged and hurt. "You could've gotten yourself killed, or worse, turned! What would you have down then, huh? What would you have done?"

"Adrian, I-." I was suddenly knocked down. Adrian knocked me into the sand, and pinned my hands above my head. He cupped my chin with his other hand, and smashed his lips against mine. Caught off guard, I didn't know how to handle the sparks that I felt from the simple kiss. Then, after a moment, I melted into him. I could feel heat spread from the tip of my ears to the tip of my toes. I broke out of Adrian's grasp and wrapped my arms around his neck. Adrian wrapped his arms around my waist, and deepened the kiss. My heart raced at a thousand beats per minute. Sparks spread down my spine, and in this moment I knew it was true. I was in love with Adrian. I'm in love with the man whose been hiding me out away from the world all these years. I love hi-.

I was suddenly snapped out of the dream. My hair was a mess. I failed to catch my breath as I remembered the dream. Adrain Ivashkov kissed me. He really kissed me!

And...he left me. I closed my eyes as I felt a tear slip down my cheek. The emotion that displayed in his eyes when he pulled away made my heart break.

Regret.

I knocked on Adrian's door again, angry and hurt. How can he just kiss me like that and leave without an explanation?! I knew he felt that. I knew he felt that spark when he kissed me like I felt it. I saw it in his eyes.

I know he had a girlfriend, but damn, he can't just leave me after attacking me like that! He's not that much of an asshole!

A guardian walked up to me, and ordered me to stop. I hissed a mad 'go away' at him, and he just laughed.

"There's no use knocking on his door," the guardian said. "He isn't here."

I sighed, and tunred around. My back hit the door and I slid down to the floor in shame. The guardian looked at me and sighed, his blue eyes sparkling in curiosity.

"I haven't seen you around here," he stated. "What's you're name?"

"Cece Hemingway," I said in a monotone. I looked at him, assessing him carefully. He was pretty cute with his tousled dirty blonde hair, and bright blue eyes. He had a pretty good bod too, tall, chiseled, muscular, and obviously one hunky ass guardian. Oh, and those full kissable lips...just ready to be taken.... 

He smirked when he realized I was checking him out. 

"Like what you see?" he said cockily. I smirked and cocked my head up at him.

"What if I do?" I said back flirtatiously. He smiled and I smirked.

"Then I might like what I see, too," he said, smirking back. His eyes grazed up and down my body appreciatively and I blushed. He smiled. 

Huh, so Adrian's being difficult. I can't stay stuck on a guy for the rest of my life. He obviously doesn't feel the same way, and if he did it was only a sexual attraction. I sighed as I finally began to realise that Adrian would never love me. I needed to move on.

I looked at him and realised he's exactly what I needed.

"What's your name, sexy?" I asked, smirking.

"Eddie," he said, smirking back.

"I like you," I admitted. I really did like him. I heared the truth ring in my words. "Why don't I catch you later, maybe? Maybe coffee when you're on break?"

He stopped, putting on a black guardian face. I knew what he was thinking. He needed to protect Moroi, and it was his duty to due it. If he left it he would be a disgrace to almost everyone at Court, and what for? Love? I really hoped he'd pick me. I've been through too much heartbreak to lose anyone else.

After what seemed like forever he said, "sure."

I let out a breathe I didn't realize I was holding and smiled at him. He smiled shyly back, and helped me off the ground.

"So tommorrow?" I asked, sounding desperate.

"Tommorrow," he said, smiling back at me. I did a happy dance in my head, and smiled back at him.

My first date is tommorrow!

Man, I really need to get out of the house.
