"Rose!" Lissa called from across the school. Freaking hell why the hell couldn't she leave me alone? Sure she was my best friend and all, but did she have to see me 24/7? I turned around, and faced Liss.
"Oh my god Rose! Guess what!" Lissa yelled.
"What?" I said, I sounded uninterested, but I really didn't care.
"Guardian Belikov's leaving! He got assigned to this chick in the Royal Court, cause now you've got me; he doesn't need to guard me too! So it's just us girls! Isn't it exciting?"
I didn't think it was exciting; it was probably just some junk that some year 6 made up. Cause everyone knows just how inseparable and unbeatable the Hathaway and Belikov duo are. "Pffftt. Liss, you really believe that stuff? It's just something that someone made up, to screw with you." I said.
"Nah, Eddie told me!" She insisted.
"Whatever" I said walking backwards away from her. "I'm real tired Liss, I'm going to my dorm. See ya at breakfast tomorrow." And with that I turned and ran to the gym to have my session with Dimitri. Yeah I lied, but so what? I wasn't tired, I just needed my mentor.
"Hey" I said, dropping my bag on the floor. "What's on the timetable this arvo, comrade?" Dimitri looked up from his 6 billionth cowboy book of the day, and stared me in the eye. "We need to talk Rose." I cocked my head to one side, and looked at him. He patted the spot beside where he was sitting and then when I didn't move, motioned for me to come over. I walked over and sat down beside him, frowning in confusion and curiosity. He sighed and ran a hand through his long hair, which wasn't tied back like it usually was. It was left out, the way I liked it. My hair was up, showing my molnija marks. "I'm leaving Rose, they offered me a spot at the Royal Court and seeing so you'll graduate soon, we'll be able to see each other, without faltering in our guardian positions. Lissa will have someone else as well as you, so you'll take shifts, and the girl I'm guarding will have two too. It'll work out. Promise" He said to me. I couldn't lift my head up to meet his eyes. Tears were cascading down, unstoppable. I let out a small sob. He reached out to hold me, and I cried into his chest. He was saying something to me in Russian, and I didn't know what it was, but it was soothing me and my heart. Eventually he pulled back, and cupped my face in his hands. "It's ok" he said. "It's for the better." I didn't really think it was for the better. We wouldn't see each other for three whole months. But then again, in the long run, we could be together and happy, which was good for both of us.
"When are you leaving?" I managed to choke out.
"Tuesday" He whispered. Tuesday. Today was Saturday, so we had three days, before he left me for three months. But then, in due time, we would be together again, with nothing to stop us. Nothing.
"Roooooooossssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!" Lissa yelled from across the school (again). It sounded urgent, and when I turned around to see what she wanted this time, she was running, screaming across the quad, crying. "Liss!" I ran to her. "What's wrong? What's the matter?'
"Christian! He's gone! He went away with Eddie and Adrian for a guy's night out, but then they never came back." Her voice was nearing hysteria, and I reached out to hug her. I comforted her for a little while, and told her that it would be okay. I took her to sit on a bench on the quad, and just as I was about to sit down, I heard a scream, and a roll of nausea filled my stomach. I clutched at my belly, then looked up at Lissa
"Run"
He he he he…. You're going to have to wait till the next chapter!! Review or I won't post!!
