Chapter 1

I couldn't believe it; Rose was leaving me to go after my former guardian Dimitri Belikov. She had withdrawn from the academy a few months before graduation. She no longer would be my guardian and this hurt me deeply. I stared as she crossed the gates and leave the school grounds. After she crossed the gates I stood there standing there for what seemed forever and then I ran back to the school with tears in my eyes.

I didn't notice that I ran straight to the cafeteria where all the students where having breakfast. Everyone stopped eating and talking when they saw me run in crying toward where Christian sat with Eddie and Adrian eating breakfast. They stopped talking when they saw me arrive to their table. Christian stood up as I approached their table. What is wrong Lissa, why are you crying asked Christian.

Sobbing uncontrollably I was unable to say anything. Eddie go get her something to drink Adrian told Eddie. Okay Eddie said and ran off toward the kitchen to get me something to drink. Well Eddie went to get me something to drink Christian tried to calm me down. Lissa please calm down why are you crying for? Everyone was quiet while this was going on. Eddie came back with a glass cup of orange juice. Here drink this it help you said Eddie.

I drank it and after I finished it I was calm enough to talk to them. Rose withdrew from the academy I said to them. WHAT screamed both Christian and Eddie. Adrian didn't say anything or look surprised by this either. Every single person in the cafeteria was shocked at the news that they had just heard.
