VAMPIRE ACADEMY FANFICTION This is an AU where Lissa's brother Andre survived the crash where Rose becomes shadow kissed. Rose/Andre

Note: if you've read my work 'Giving into the charm' Chapter 1 is identical- the new fun begins in Chapter 2 :)! I wrote this version by hand first and have only just gotten around to digitising it.

What would happen if Rose had removed the necklace the second she stepped into her dorm? How would the story go if they hadn't had a 'teaser', a 'taster' to screw over their lives? How long will they last with rising sexual tension that neither will make a move to ease? And what about Tasha's offer?

Read my VA fanfic " Things have Happened" before reading this one.

"I only fall for Bad Boys, Malik," I told him. "Even though you look and act like one, you're clearly not one of them." Avarielle Klyser is not your typical girl. Let's just say that she's not the sweetest girl in the world. Zayn Malik is the Bad Boy figure of the famous band One Direction. He smokes and that's all he can do...according to Avarielle, that is. Avarielle and Zayn didn't meet naturally. Avarielle sneaked into Syco Records, all bruised up. And the Bradford Boi couldn't help himself but to get smitten by her bad ways. This story is currently discontinued due to Zayn leaving One Direction. The series messed up because of him leaving but I still continue to support him.

Back in the cells. What secret is Rose hiding? What was the true reason neither Strigoi Dimitri nor Rose couldn't- or is it more like wouldn't- kill each other? How many surprises, twists-and-turns and power could revolve around one couple, one family, one name???

Starts in Dimitri's POV after Rose exits the first Tasha meeting in a storm. What if Dimitri notice just HOW MUCH he was hurting her? What if he went after her? What if she gives him a 'Rose ultimatum'? What, or who, will he choose? What about that Christmas shopping trip? What if MISSOULA becomes a STRIGOI HIDEOUT? How will Rose handle her first kill, or is it kills- plural? How will Dimitri handle her first kill or kills? What INJURIES will Rose obtain in the process? And how will DIMITRI REACT to them? What will happen when Rose's becomes as TARGETED as royals? How will Rose handle it? How will Dimitri? And the burning question: WHY IS ROSE A TARGET?

What next?
