The office was silent as Kirova contemplated deep in thought. The event that just happened at the academy was probably no coincidence. Anyhow, the school staff would have to take extreme measures to solve the problem at hand. St. Vladimir's Academy had always had a good reputation when it came down to students, but this seemed all too wrong. Two girls have ran away from campus and have traveled to who knows where. But it was actually another week ago that one more student disappeared from the school grounds. But she was a new student, who's parents had strictly sentenced her to stay at the academy until she was able to take care of herself physically and emotionally. Luckily St. Vladimir's had excellent staff in the campus. There was the headmistress herself, Kirova, who is usually on good terms to good people, but if you're know to be a delinquent on your records, she would be onto you like a hawk. Then there was Alberta, one of Kirova's trusted friends and captain of the guardians of the school. When it came to office work, she was like a co-headmistress, but she was more busy setting duties of the guardians than able to help Kirova out. Then there was the more elite of the guardians, Dimitri Belikov. He was young compared to the other guardians at the academy, but he's well known to have trained well at the academy for so long, he's one of the elite trainers of combats to the younger guardians-in-training. There were other good members of St. Vladimir's, but the three of them would make a good trio to find a way to recover back the three students that disappeared.
"The two girls that left at the same time are most likely together. Since one is Moroi and the other is her guardian." Alberta reminded herself. Kirova had her chin against her frail hand and a pencil hung low between her pointer and middle finger.
"Yes. Vasilisa Dragomir and Rose Hathaway. Apparently, they have been scheming the escape a while back, nearly two years. Though they have moved from place to place constantly, I think they're staying at Portland for a while. It's been eight months since they arrived there and they haven't left yet. They might have let their guard down."
"So then," Dimitri started. "I can finally catch them?"
"Yes, guardian Belikov. You have my confirmation now on Visilisa and Rose."
Alberta turned her head slightly in concern. "What about the other girl?"
Dimitri blinked at Alberta's question. "What other girl."
"I didn't tell Dimitri about her yet, Alberta." Kirova cut in. They both stared at her quietly. "She just arrived at St. Vladimir's a month ago, so she's fairly new. Her name I have to look up in the system, since I only heard her name once around campus." Kirova turned her chair to face the record cabinet. She flipped each folder until she went into the new student portion of the cabinet. During that moment, Alberta turned her head to Dimitri, who met her gaze.
"You know you aren't going alone, right? Teenagers these days will do anything to get away from jeopardy."
"I knew ahead of time, Captain."
"Excellent. I'll pick out the right guardians to accompany you on the search."
Kirova had been looking at a particular folder for a small moment, but when she was about to put it back in the drawer convinced it was the wrong file, she glimpsed at something on it that her recent guests had mentioned at their conference; Something that no one has theoretically heard of.
"Born with unusual discovery of Moroi and Dhampir blood; a mix breed…" Kirova interpreted to herself. "I found the file on the other girl that has gone omitted."
The other two's attention directed back to the elderly headmistress. Dimitri had spoke first in curiosity. "And who is it?"
"Natasha Alexander. 18 years old. Born with Dhampir AND Moroi blood."
"How is that possible?" Alberta questioned.
"Whichever parent was the Moroi was probably a spirit user. They may be rare, but it is a possibility that she has some sort of mark to symbolize it. Most dhampirs and humans do." Dimitri explained. "But I'm not sure if that makes finder her any easier, unless she only stopped at one place."
"According to our tracking device, she did. Right now, she resides in Alaska. When we get more information, we'll tell you were in Alaska she directly is. Think you can do both of these tasks?" Kirova eyed Dimitri as if he was being ready to take a very hard test.
"Of course, Headmistress Kirova."
"Since Natasha is closer by, and less likely to move than the other two, you'd capture her first. We wouldn't want to go in a bad order."
"I will do my best."
"Now then," Kirova said, while turning back towards the cabinet, but opening a different case of folders. "Let's see where this girl truly is. "
