Have fun and I hope that you enjoy!

I woke to my alarm clock blaring. Mornings really did suck, but I couldn't really complain. My life was amazing, or so it was now anyway. Two years ago my life took a serious turn for the better when Rose Hathaway and Princess Vasilisa Dragomir ran away. No one knows why they left, but there were rumors that one of them got pregnant and they left because they didn't want anyone to know what happened.

I doubted that that was the reason they left. Rose probably didn't want to face the wrath of Headmistress Kirova for damaging Wade Voda's room one night after a party. I guess she was pissed off because he brought a feeder. Rose has always had an attitude problem and I couldn't have been happier when they disappeared. I don't know why anyone even bothered looking for them.

I really hate those two. They walked around like they own the place and that couldn't have been farther from the truth. The only reason anyone even knew who Rose was is because of her precious Lissa, and her reputation. She has had to have slept with half of the Moroi and probably most, if not all, of the novices. Stupid blood whore.

I think I hate Lissa more though. Just because she is the last Dragomir everyone has to be around her. She really isn't all that great, if you ask me. I mean she hadn't even specialized when she left. I mean seriously, she was a sophomore, how could she have not specialized. I knew that I was a water user when I was in eighth grade.

Okay, enough thinking about those two. They were gone and out of my life so there was no reason to waste anymore precious time on them. Class would be starting soon and I really needed to go to a feeder. I went to my closet and pulled out one of my favorite outfits, a tight purple dress and black sandal heels. My boyfriend, Aaron, really does love this outfit but I think that it is mainly because when I wear it he gets some. Now don't go getting the wrong idea about me. I have been with Aaron for almost two years now. He has always been great to me. The sex isn't the greatest, I mean he is no Andre Dragomir, but he gets done what needs to be done. And when you are in the it crowd, you do what is expected of you, and dating Aaron is expected.

I sat down in front of my mirror and worked on my hair. I had ringlets, and lots of them and if I didn't calm my curls down they would look pretty damn scary. I guess you could say they made me look young. As much as I hated looking like a twelve year old now, I knew that when I got older it would come in handy. I put on some light purple eye shadow and added some blush and lip gloss. Looking at myself in the mirror it was hard to believe that I wasn't really one of the 'rich kids'. Yes, my parents both worked for other Moroi, but I wasn't going to look like I was the child of servants.

There were still plenty of students in the courtyard as I made my way to the commons, so I wasn't running too far behind. Hopefully Aaron hadn't been to the feeders yet because I really didn't want to go by myself. I found Aaron talking to Jesse Zeklos. Jesse was one of the most popular royals at our school. He had bronze colored hair, blue eyes and a great body. Most girls would do anything to be with him. Good thing I wasn't most girls. I walked up and put my arm through Aaron's. He seemed in a good mood today and his golden hair was glistening in the little light that was left from the setting sun.

"Hey, Jesse," I said before turning to Aaron. "Come on, I need to go to the feeders."

Aaron looked down at me and smiled. He wasn't the most attractive boy here, but he was pretty damn close and when he smile I kind of felt bad for not really being in love with him. It's not like I wanted to marry him, I mean he is only a Drozdov. Now if he was like an Ivashkov or even a Dashkov, I might be a little more serious about him. I may not be royal yet, but I will be damned if I don't marry a royal.

"Of course, " he said as he waved to Jesse. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and lead me to the feeders. When we got there I signed in and went to sit next to him. Abby Badica was talking to him when I sat down.

"Oh, Mia did you hear?" she asked with excitement.

"Did I hear what, Abby?"

"That new guardian, Belikov, left the other day with some other guardians on some top secret mission and they are going to coming back soon."

Now this was what I called gossip. Belikov was one of the new guardians and he was drop dead gorgeous. He had shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes. Even the Russian accent he had just added to the package. I would love to get my hands on him. "Do you know what this mission was?"

Abby shook her head. "No, but it had to be big. They sent like seven guardians with him."

That was unheard of. Most guardians were in pairs, maybe even three, at a time. But seven at once? Even the queen did travel with that many. I wonder what they were doing. "Wow. It really must be important."

Abby was called back just as she was about to say something else. I really wanted to know what all she had heard and I made a mental note to find her after school today. I was starting to feel sleepy and I wished that they would hurry up and call me back. As long as I didn't get Alice, she was really crazy and old. I don't even know why they still keep her here.

"Mia, you can go back now," the matron called.

I kissed Aaron on his cheek and then walked back to the feeders and was relieved that I got one of the younger ones. I sat down and bit into her neck. A soft moan escaped her lips and I tried not to be disgusted by it. Feeders were nothing more than drug addicts. They sat around everyday waiting to get their next fix of endorphins from our bite. I finished feeding and walked back out to meet Aaron. He wasn't sitting in his chair anymore so I waited for him. He came back out shortly after I had sat down.

"So, do I get to see you tonight?" He whispered into my ear as we walked back to the commons.

I smiled at him. "Of course you do."

His smile grew wider and I knew that he wasn't going to be paying attention to anything today other than his daydreams. I guess that is one way to keep him in line.

I sat down at our table and listened to the monotonous talk between the royals. It was really boring but I knew how to look like I was listening to every word. I must have spaced out more than I realized because I noticed that everything had gone silent in the commons. Something big must be happening. Aaron took my hand and I followed him out. He stopped walking and had the weirdest look on his face. I followed his gaze and wanted to scream.

After two whole years they were back. Why the hell were they back? I saw the way Aaron was looking at Lissa and I did not like it one bit. It looked like he still had feelings for her. This was so not happening to me. I am not going to let the last Dragomir ruin my life. I didn't let her brother do it to me and I will definitely not let her do it. I will have to do something about her. I am not going back to being a nobody. I refuse to lose everything I have worked so hard for.

"Aaron, let's go somewhere else," I said trying to get his attention back on me.

"In a minute, Mia."

Well, shit. Now I could feel my cheeks starting to redden. I was pissed. I really thought he was over her and it kind of hurt that he was looking at her that way with me standing right next to him. If looks could kill Vasilisa Dragomir would be dead.

I must have been squeezing Aaron's hand harder than I realized because he flinched as we watched them walk into the admin building. He pulled his hand away from me and picked up his books.

"I have to get to class," he said, walking away from me.

Now I was beyond pissed. Aaron always walked me to my classes and now she hadn't even been here for ten minutes and he was already leaving me. I could barely hold in a scream as I made my way to class. How could Aaron do this to me? I have given him two great years and this was how he was paying me back?

I didn't hear anything that my teachers said during my morning classes. All I could think about was how Aaron was looking at Lissa. It was bad enough that she came back but they brought Rose, too. Why did they have to bring Rose back, too? I mean she broke like the number one guardian rule. They came first. Why would they want someone like her around. I really wouldn't want her as my guardian. And now keeping Lissa out of my life was going to be a lot harder with her around.

"Mia, have you heard anything I have said?" Ashley Conta asked.

I rolled my eyes at her. "No, Ashley, I haven't. I have been a little preoccupied with what is happening. If you haven't noticed the Princess and her precious bodyguard are back."

"Wow, jealous are we?"

"I'm not jealous, I'm pissed."

"Come on let's go to lunch. We can figure something out later," Ashley said.

Ashley was another royal that I could say was one of my closest friends. If I told her to jump she would jump. Maybe I could get her to help me think of a way to get Lissa out of my life forever. I was starting to think of ways to embarrass her when I saw Lissa talking to Aaron. That bitch. She can't just think that she can come back and everything is going to go back to the way it was. Things have changed and she is going to have to deal with the consequences of her actions. I didn't see Rose anywhere around so I marched right up to her and Aaron.

"Aaron, why didn't you meet me after class? I was starting to get worried." I asked as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Sorry, Mia. I was talking with Lissa. I'll make it up to you later."

I turned and looked at Lissa. She was wearing clothes that looked like she had found on the side of the street. Oh, this is just priceless. "Wow, Lissa did you loose your sense of fashion while you were gone?"

"I think she looks great," Aaron said from behind me. I turned and glared at him.

"It looks to me like it came from a garage sale. I thought a precious Dragomir would have standards." I wondered if she could hear the hatred that dripped off her name. I really wanted to scratch her eyes out right now, but I kept myself from moving. Humility could be so much more destructive.

Lissa looked like she was about to say something when suddenly some one grabbed me from behind and jerked me away from Lissa. Who ever it was pulled pretty hard and I almost fell. Whoever just grabbed me was going to pay. No one touches me and gets away with it. I turned to look at who had grabbed me and low and behold it was the bodyguard herself, Rosemarie Hathaway.

"She does have standards," Rose said, "which is why you're done talking to her."
