Chapter 1: Trouble at St. Vlads!

I had left after Lissa told me to leave Dimitri alone. I didn't want to leave but after Lissa told me that I felt betrayed and I accidentally took ALL of her darkness. I felt extremely dangerous and unstable. So I left for the best, without telling anybody except Adrian and Eddie. They both supported me. It has been five years since I left. Adrian and Eddie come here to St. Margrets Academy in New York City and visit me. After I left I wandered to New York and the darkness began to take me. That's when Angel saved me and brought me to St. Margrets. My first friend. I made new friends quickly. They all make my new family. Angel, Jace, Alyce, Richie, Belinda, Melinda, and finally Alec. Jace, Alyce, and Angel helped me over come my worst fits from he darkness. They held me when I cried about my past. They know everything. Then Angel died a year ago trying to save her royal moiri husband, Raymond Ivashkov. I lost my sister. And she left me to care for her 16 year old daughter, Alisha Henderson. I can never let anything happen to my family again.

At St. Margrets I teach self defense to moiri and combat to dhampirs. Alec is head guardian here and tries to help me out, even though I really don't need it.

Anyways let's start with Thursday shall we? Normal day wake up at 4:30am(pm for humans) and go to the gym to teach me novices Alisha until 6:30am then teach elementary schoolers then middle schoolers then freshman- juniors finally the seniors. After classes I mentor Taelor Willson until 4 pm. Finally I can rest. Five years ago I would have passed out from this but now I can survive on 2 hours of sleep.

I was starting to think I was going to be able to eat dinner when I felt fear slap me in the face. Lissa! I went in her head and saw at least 20 strigoi on St. Vlads campus. I snapped back into my own head and flew to Alec's office to alert him.

"Alec!" I screamed as I entered his office.

"Yes Rose? What's wrong?" he asked grabbing his stake.

"Attack on St. Vladimir's!" I cried.

"How do you know this?" he asked putting his stake down.

"I saw it through the bond. I looked real bad. Maybe 20 or more of those monsters." I said shaking.

"Right. Well they will need maybe ten guardians down the ASAP. So you, Alyce, Richie, Belinda, Melinda, Jace, Trey, Roy, Jon, and Erik will flyout tomorrow. And you will take Alisha and Taelor with you to continue their training and schooling." He said. I nodded and started to walk out when I forgot my classes.

"Wait what about my classes?" I asked.

"DUH! Me! Now go and tell the others." He laughed. I obeyed and told everybody to be ready by 3pm(human time) so we would land in St. Vlad's by 6pm. Just in time for ! I was nervous about going back there. To them… My mom, Alberta, Eddie, Adrian, Christian…Lissa, and… Dimitri. Those last two names were hard to think of. But I had to face the m more importantly him. Eventually I fell asleep… into a nighmare.

I was back at St. Vlads in the gym. It smelled of sweat. Music howled in the background. Something wasn't right. The gym was completely empty. But I could feel I wasn't alone.

"Hello!" I call out but get no answer.

I take out my stake prepared for something to jump out at me. I turn a corner and see legs on the floor coming out of the weights room. I finally see the body of a young dhampir girl. Her neck is cracked and her body completely drained of all blood.

I cover my mouth and begin to back away. I run outside to find Lissa but to my horror I find hundreds of moiri and dhampir bodies littering the ground. I see Adrian, Christian, and Eddie are among the bodies on the ground. I feel tears slide down my face and I realize I HAVE to find her and fast!

"Roza." I freeze at that voice. I turn around to see Dimitri standing there. His once beautiful brown orbs are once again ringed with red. He is strigoi. He flashes me a smile to reveal to large white fangs.

"No." I wimper and begin to back away. Not him. Not again.

"Yes, Rose, I'm a strigoi again. Only this time I'm not alone." He said chuckling. Suddenly a small blonde girl appears beside him. I immediately recognize her as none other that Lissa. Her mossy green eyes are slightly red.

"NO!" I scream. I jerk awake and hear my alarm going off. It was only a dream. Only a dream. I repeat.

I shut my alarm clock off and see I only have 20 minutes to be in the foyer. Shit! I grab my duffle bag and throw my clothes and bathroom stuff in there and zip it up. I skip a shower and throw on white skinny jeans, a tight black thermal, black uggs, and my grey wool pea coat. I decide to put on just eyeliner and mascara and just leave my hair cascading in curls down my back. I grab my bag and leave my room for St. Vladimirs.

When I reach the foyer everybody is already down there and ready to leave.

"Look who finally decided to grace us with her presence." Jace announce.

"Ha ha!" I say giving Jace my man eater smile. We leave for JFK. An hour later we take off. I sit by Jace and Alyce with Ali and Taelor in front of me.

"Hey Rose. It will be okay. They'll forgive you. Don't worry." Jace said stroking my hand.

"I hope so. But I'm not sure, Adrian said they were hurt and really mad when I left." I said remembering Adrian's dreamstalking.

"He's right Rose. If they were ever you friends they will forgive you." Alyce said. I smiled and really hoped they were right.
