It was two weeks after we came back from the ski trip.

I was in my dorm room when i recived the call. I can't believe what i was hearing. My mother-famous Gaurdian hathaway-was dead! Taken down by a Strigoi, our worst enemy.

Five minutes after the call, i was curled up on my bed-the only thing not yet smashed-when lissa banged on the door. The bond told me she had already heard the news.

"Go away!"

"Please let me in", she begged,"we need to talk about this."

"Thier is nothing we have to talk about. She was my mother and i will deal with this by myself!"

"Rose-."

"Fuck off", i screamed for what i hope was my last time.

Thankfully she gave up, and i heard her retreting steps down the hall. Part of me know that she was only trying to help, but the other part of my didn't give a damm. After crying for what felt like forever and ignorring my friends futile attemt to get me to open my door, i finaly fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning was worse. Not only did i wake up to early, but i also had to go to practice and class. Great. After a shower and what felt like ages standing under the hot water, thinking about what the hell i was ment to do next, i was on my way across the courtyard.

"Hay, Comrad", i called to dimitri's retreating figur. He was headed the oposit direction of the gym.

"Rose...what are you doing out of bed? Classes don't start for another hour."

"We have practice."

"Didn't the Gaurdian on duety at your dorm tell you that i canciled our training? I told him to."Emotion filled hos voice. So, he knew too did he?

Now what was i ment to do? I couldn't go back to my room and sit there with my own thought's. After muttering a "Alright" and promising to go straight back to the dorm, i turn and left. Making sure demitri was out of sight, i made a quick right, away from my dorm and to Lissa's.

"Look, Lissa", i started as i sat on her bed. She had seemed reluctant to let me in. "About last night-."

"No. You don't need to apology's. As soon as i found out what happened i rushed over to you room, not even thinking about giving you the space you need to take all this in."

"Thank you for understanding", i smiled, reaching up and hugging her.

"Now let's go get some breakfast."

"Yes." And just like that we were friends again.
