Dimitri's POV

There are some things in this world that I will never understand. The people who think they are helping someone when in reality all they are doing is putting them and the people they love in an even more harmful situation. That is what Rosemarie Hathaway did with her best friend Vaslissa Dragomir. She is the last of her line. How could they think that was acceptable? How could they believe that was the right thing to do? That has never made sense to me. Vaslissa has a very bright future. Rose was supposed to be her guardian, but with the way she is going now she is going to graduate 2 years later. This would mean all her talent would be lost as Vaslissa's guardian. I already know that when Vaslissa graduates i will be one guardian. Now i wonder if they will accept Rosemarie after she graduates. Well less time to think.

We are turning onto a street two blocks away from their apartment. They tried to hide a lot and kept a pretty safe distance but they ran out of money to support themselves they used the credit card. We kept it unblocked for that reason exactly. We found the apartment with a lot of night, well day for us, stakeouts. They were pretty well hidden.

"Ok everyone still know the exact plan. "I couldn't help but ask. I know that the guardians with me weren't young but we needed to be sure.

"Yes Dimitri we will stay in the shadows so they can't see us until you bring them out and then we will surround them when they get distracted with you." I didn't really know the person who was talking but she looked familiar maybe a year younger then I.

"Ok." I said parking the car. " If they put up a big fight cover their mouths and bring them to the car. Lets get this done as quiet as possible."

I'm running along the side of their building concealing myself as much as possible. It was a nice apartment at least. But that does not make this any less irresponsible. Vaslissa could have been killed by Strigoi. No excuse. They come first this was not putting her first this was putting her in danger. Stupid, Stupid.

They were in apartment 145. It showed them the entire front street and all the people that came into the apartment building. She wasn't as irresponsible as i thought she wanted to see if we were coming for them. Well we were and this was the only way out through the front door or the window. I was standing near an old style lamp post when i froze. I couldn't believe it Rosemarie was letting Vaslissa drink from her that wasn't heard off. That would mean she would be high on the endorphins so she wouldn't be able to fight back as much as we thought.

In the middle of me believing that this was actually happening that she had left the curtains open while doing it. Vaslissa pulled away and Rosemarie Hathaway looked right at me. I shouldn't have let her see me now they were going to try to run. She closed the curtains the minute she could and turned off all the lights. She made it impossible to see where they were and if they were moving. So i waited against the big Oak tree hoping they would come out seeing as they were found. I was right about two things one Rose needed more training and, two she was really on the endorphins high when they walked out. Rose must have felt i was watching because they both began running. Rose was slower than most dhampir do to the lack of blood in her system it was really quite sad. I stepped out in front of them stopping Rose in her tracks. She saw me as a threat at the current moment and I could tell she was gonna be the one to go down fighting.

"Hello Rosemarie. I am going to guess you aren't going to let us bring you back easily." I could only hope my straight face and not joking posture would help her realize she was out sized and out skilled.

"You're from the academy aren't you" i could see the confusion in her eyes she probably couldn't tell how we found her so quickly.

"Yes we are now please come with me and not cause any more trouble than you already have." Of course not, she jumped at me. It was too bad she didn't have enough training. It was easy to take her to the ground and restrain her. The other guardians surrounded us taking Vaslissa to the car. We had to have three escort Rose she really did not want to go. Neither did Vaslissa you could see it in her eyes that she was scared to be going back. I wouldn't blame her the headmaster wasn't very forgiving especially when you run away for two years.

I drove back ignoring the girls in the back.
