CHAPTER 1
It has been 16 years since HE left me for that BITCH! Who am I talking about? I'm talking about the one and only Dimitri Belikov. In my time he was one of the most Badass Guardians I had ever met. He used to be my mentor but I don't know what has happened to him since I am now living among humans and the last time I EVER heard of him was a week after the Strigoi attacks on St. Vladimir's Academy.
**FLASHBACK**
It was a week after the strigoi attacks and our training sessions just started up again. Of course we saw each other after the battle, but today was special. We were going to celebrate our victory from the Strigoi attack. But when I walked into the gym, the lights were out. Hmmm… I thought. This isn't like Dimitri. He's never late. This isn't like him. Oh well.
So I went to turn on the lights. I went to go and set up the mats before I started stretching but I already saw them set up. There was also a note on it. I walked over to the mats intrigued. The note was folded in half and had my name written on it. The handwriting was familiar. I opened the note and it read:
Dear Rose,
I'm sorry to say that I am leaving unexpectedly but I have decided to take up Tasha 's offer to be her guardian. By the time you read this I will already be gone. This is the last time you are ever going to hear from me unless the circumstances are changed. I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience I have caused you.
Dimitri.
By the time I finished reading the note, there was tears in my eyes and I was soon sobbing. NOOOO! I screamed in my head. HOW COULD HE LEAVE ME? I FINALLY GAVE IN TO HIM AND HE LEAVES ME?
By now I was crying my heart. I was on the ground sobbing for who knows how long or how loud I was when I suddenly felt strong arms wrap around me and try to sit me up.
It was Eddie.
"What's wrong?" he asked my worriedly I told him what happened not caring whether I would get into trouble with the guardians. He just listened to what I had to say and said comforting words to me. Then he suddenly said, "I'll be right back." I just nodded.
He came back a couple of minutes later a new set of arms were around me and I didn't have to see who it was I just knew.
It was Lissa.
I cried even harder into her chest. Next thing I knew there were no more tears to cry and I eventually fell asleep. I then woke up into my bedroom hoping to find Lissa. Instead, I found another note with my name on it.
Shit, I thought.
