Vampire Academy Sample

After they finally found who really killed Tatiana and Lissa taking over the thrown, Rose is having difficulty accepting not having the "bond" with Lissa anymore. Especially now that the Queen has a new additional Guardian, Kaylee.

Rose's POV

(After Last Sacrifice)

I sighed in frustration. Although I left in order to clear my head, I am worried about Lissa. No matter how competent Dimitri is. I still worry for her. No reason to fret though, she has Kaylee to comfort her anyway. Kaylee, the new guardian of the Queen who trails us wherever we go, and more like her new best friend.

I mentally kicked myself. I shouldn't be thinking those things. But my jealousy over the growing friendship between Lissa and Kaylee bothers me more than I admit. I also miss Dimitri which added to my anxiety. This isn't working. Maybe I should call Sage for a girl's night out or get some father-daughter time with Abe. I laughed at myself. This is getting ridiculous.

Then the door to my room slowly creaked open, startling me as I pivoted towards it. But I immediately relaxed as Dimitri came in. "I haven't even decided where to go yet." I whispered. I knew he sensed something was wrong, from the way he was looking at me. I should've taken my thinking somewhere else. But his presence soothed me. He didn't say anything, he didn't need to. I knew what his eyes were asking.
