Chapter 1:

Waking up this morning sucked.

First of all I had the biggest headache in the history of biggest headaches.

And second of all I had to go straight to one of the classrooms to do work. And it's a Sunday!

Oh yeah and there's a third, the teacher that would be watching me work, was Stan.

Why I had to work on a Sunday you ask? Well the usual I may have back chatted Stan but he was so asking for it. It was only a joke me making a comment that he might be gay but seriously! Did the man have to get so mad?

And the reason I have a headache is probably from the party I was at last night. It was at one of the Moroi Carly I think her name was, dorms and let's just say I had a little too much to drink.

It's been a while since I've done anything like that, It felt good to let lose a little. It's not like I will get the opportunity when I'm older, don't get me wrong I will be so glad to be Lissa – my best friend's – guardian but that will mean I'm always on the lookout and I can't do anything like I did last night.

With a sigh I pulled myself out of bed. I think I would be a bit late getting to this weekend detention but oh well Stan will deal.

I got dressed into a red tank top with a white jumper over it and some long skinny jeans I just left my hair down since instead of having training with my Russian God Dimitri I had to spend my Sunday with Stan.

I put on my shoes and went to turn my door knob the same time someone was about to knock.

And standing there with all his beauty was my mentor.

"Good timing" I said looking up at him.

"Rose, I was asked to come and get you since you are late for your morning detention with Guardian Alto. But I can see your leaving now." Dimitri said. Ugh. He was being all mentory.

"Well actually I was just gonna go get some breakfast, go see Lissa, maybe even—"

"Rose." he warned.

"Okay okay, I was just joking sheesh." I walked past him heading to Stan's classroom while Dimitri trailed close behind me. "Have you got to escort me there Comrade?" I asked looking back.

"Yes" he simply said but I saw some quick annoyance on his face from me using his nickname, but hey! I could be calling him much worse things this time of morning, especially with my headache.

I groaned. "I really hate this, It's a Sunday! That's bad enough without it being Stan as the one I have to spend it with." I complained.

"Well if you didn't act that way in class, you wouldn't be in this mess now would you?" he said.

God I hated it when Dimitri acted so serious.

"So you herd huh?" I asked from his words of act that way in class.

"I was told, yes." He answered.

I knew he was only speaking this way because where we were walking at the moment was crowded, weird for a Sunday. But when it's just me and Dimitri sometimes I get lucky enough when he lets his guard down a bit.

By then we had reached the classroom.

"I've got to go" Dimitri told me. "I'll see you at training tomorrow" He turned and walked away.

I sighed as I opened the door to Stan's classroom. There he sat at one of the desks.

And hell begins.

Just as expected it all really sucked. First I did all this work on mathematics what the hell was that even for? Because I know Stan doesn't teach Calculus. Calculus isn't my worse subject but it's the one I hated the most, I swear that's the only reason he made me do it. And he even made me wipe down the black board, of course I went off at him then he threatened me that I would be doing this all next week as well if I didn't shut up.

Once it was over I had been there for two hours that felt like ten. I was walking over to Adrian's dorm, not to see him to see Lissa since I told her I would and right now they were practising their magic. When I got there I knocked twice on Adrian's dorm.

"Little Dhampir!" he greeted a little too enthusiastically.

"Yeah, yeah will you let me in already?" I dully said.

"What that's my greeting, I got to say I'm hurt." He said with a complete faking expression putting his hand over his heart.

"I'm not in the mood."

"Oh I see, so how was your morning with Guardian Alto?" he said with amusement. He moved enough so I could walk past him and into his room.

"Shit." was my reply.

Lissa was sitting on Adrian's couch. There were three plants sitting along the coffee table in front of her. Two of them looked equally dead and the other looked dead as well but with a bit of green instead of the brown colour like the others.

"Hey Rose" Lissa said happily. If she thought I was going to be happy after what I just went through then she was really delusional. But I still forced a smile.

"Hey Liss....practising on plants again?" I asked walking over to take a seat next to Lissa.

"Yeah, I'm still teaching Adrian healing." She said.

I took another look at the dead plants. "Yeah it looks like it's going well." I said sarcastically.

"Hey!" Adrian said acting offended.

"It just takes time, and he's doing really well we've just started on this one..." she said pointing to the one with the bit of green.

"Mmm, it's beautiful" I mumbled. Lissa rolled her eyes but was smiling, I could tell that she had been doing her magic for a while today, Moroi using magic usually feels right to them, it makes them happy.

I settled down staying on the couch with Lissa while Adrian sat on one of the chairs. It was so boring watching Adrian practise magic since he wasn't getting very far. It was frustrating him and I couldn't blame him since it was exactly like when Lissa tried to dream walk, it was nothing easy.

The plant had a bit more life to it but not much, Lissa kept chanting at Adrian to concentrate but it didn't do much good.

Lissa gave a demonstration on one of the other dead plants. I could feel all the magic radiating off her. And in less than a minute the plant was completely green with its leaves actually sticking up.

Adrian groaned. "That's exactly what I do!" he complained.

"Obviously not or it would actually look a bit green." I said in a bored voice, I was on the verge of falling asleep.

"Rose." Lissa warned. "Don't give up." She told Adrian.

And then they were at it again. They did it for another hour while I still stuck around I was waiting for Lissa since we were both going to have an early dinner.

Once finally they decided to finish up for the day Lissa and I headed for the cafeteria. We got our food and sat down together.

"Where's fire boy?" I asked making conversation.

Lissa rolled her eyes. "Rose he really hates it when you call him that."

I laughed. "Yeah, that's the whole point."

"I don't know what he's been doing today, he finds it boring watching Adrian and I practise" Oh I wonder why "But we will be meeting...tonight.." She blushed.

I could read from the bond she meant the attic. "Ewe Liss seriously I didn't need the picture in my head...literally."

"Sorry." she said with a giggle.

Great she better not suck me into her head. It's one thing to know that she's hooking up with Christian already but it's another thing to actually see it— actually no experience it.

Well there goes the good night sleep I was hoping for.

I know this first chapter wasn't much. I'll put up more soon to get the story going.

Please Review!!! :) :) :)
