Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or the plot I just wanted to see the story from a different perspective. But I didn't want 2 try and get into Dimitri's head although we all want to so I found the easiest thing was 2 make another character. But I do own Chloe and Haley. Oh and its set in frostbite...

ONE

Uugh the suspense was killing me! Walking around this little English Motel room, just waiting. Usually I'm a patient person, being a Dhampir you have to be to make a good guardian, but even being a guardian since I was six years old hasn't taught me enough patience I need to stop the anxiety of a much anticipated phone call that determines my future and ultimately, Haley's.

This phone call determined wether or not I am accepted back into an academy so I can graduate and become a promised guardian and be assigned to Haley until separated by death. This won't happen on my watch. Dimitri was meant to have called by now they were supposed to make their decision on my entry last night and Dimitri was meant to call with the answer at 1 its now 1:23. Maybe they haven't decided yet or he doesn't want to tell me the bad news. Or he is just being mean and selfish and wants me to have an anxiety attack!! No he wouldn't do that something really important must be keeping him. I'll just have to wait.

"Chloe can you stop pacing and chattering to yourself he'll ring when he's ready and I'm trying to sleep here!" Haley mumbled from her bed.

Okay, okay I thought to myself just try and relax its all okay. So that's what I did I relaxed and did some self meditation.

I must have relaxed a little too much and somehow fell asleep I must have made myself unbelievably tired from all the stress because I was completely out of it when my phone started ringing right in my ear and scared the hell out of me.

"Hello" I groggily managed to form.

"Hey" a very serious Dimitri responded. "Chloe I'm so sorry I didn't ring you at 1 there was a disaster at the Badica house"

"What! An attack at the Badica house! During the day! How, Why…."

"We don't know we are looking into it but that attack just guaranteed you and Haley a spot at the academy because of lack of guardians and they think Haley especially needs the protection being a Conta, their family is small enough."

"Okay, we will jump on a plane right now and fly to Missoula. Will you be there when we land?" I asked pleadingly it had been so long since I have seen him.

"Not likely but I will be here when you get here."

And with that he hung up. "Haley" I yelled "get your things we're going to America.

"Yay" she screamed but noticed that I wasn't as excited as I should be. "Chloe what's wrong shouldn't you be ecstatic it's what you wanted"

"I'm happy we're going there but the strigoi attacked the Badica house today that's why he didn't ring, he was busy" she just went silent as she gathered her things. We left for the airport in silence both of us just thinking I could feel that she was scared she didn't want to get attacked. I squeezed her hand in comfort and gave a grim smile she started to relax a little. I think I would be lost without the psychic bond that we share and only because of her powers is why I'm alive and know exactly how she feels.
