Adrian
Kirova's voice rang through the campus speakers. It had been made final that after school being halted because of the attack that the year would be extended through the summer and the students of St. Vladimir Academy would continue training and classes in an altered schedule for the season. Most of the kids would grumble and argue about losing "their" time, but after everything that had happened most of them weren't ready for the real world. No one was mentally ready to leave, it'd be like sending the kids to their death.
"You think she'll ever come back?" Whispered Lissa Dragomir, the last living Dragomir princess and one of Adrian's only good friends.
"One day..." A name need not be mentioned. It was unspoken rule to never say her name in front of Lissa. It was her best best friend and the girl Adrian fell in love with, too bad she didn't return the feeling. It had been three months since her dissapearance and the days never got any easier. It took two months for the school to be fully restored and it would take forever for the people to recover from the losses. And with Her gone, Lissa was only getting worse.
They kept walking towards the cafeteria for lunch and when Lissa's crazy Ozera boyfriend caught up Adrian detoured and went to the feeding room. But before he even made it to the room he heard two guardians whispering and they looked very distraught. "It was him. Positive ID, I saw the pictures too. Belikov finally got a stake to the heart. Deep shame to lose that guy." Dimitri Belikov had been turned strigoi during the attack, he was the reason She left. She had set out to kill him, She must have succeded, which meant She would be coming back! "But they found her too. She was nearly ripped apart it seemed." No... "Guess that's why she left, he was her mentor, they were close." It couldn't... "She would've been one hell of a guardian. Poor Hathaway. Janine is flying down tonight."
She was gone...
Rose was dead.
