ROSE

BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!

I woke up to my irritating alarm clock. I pressed de button, but it wouldn't shut up.

After a few seconds I throw it in the wall. I heard something that didn't sound so good

and sigh. "crap, it broke again." I got up and dressed, a red tank top, skinny jeans and

black boots. I put my hair up in a high ponytail. By the way my name is Rose

Hathaway and I'm 17 years old. I'm a dhampir, half vampire. I'm training to be a

guardian, guardians protect moroi from strigoi. Moroi is vampires, but they are good,

they doesn't kill for blood. They can use element magic and they're mortal. Strigoi is

also vampires but they on the other hand is evil, they kill for blood, they can't be out

in the sun. they're immortal and they can't use magic. My best friend is a moroi, her

name is Lissa. Lissa is specialized in spirit, an unusual element, we only know one

more besides Lissa. Two years ago I died in a car crash but Lissa brought me back, in

the same crash Lissa's family died. So now I'm shadow kissed, that means I can read

Lissas mind and feel her emotions.

Now I had to hurry to my practice with Dimitri, my mentor. He is also the one I'm in

love with. I now he like's me too but we can't be together because of many reasons, so

we trying too ignore it which isn't always so easy.

I run to the gym but was still 5 minutes late.

"I know, I know I'm late! Sorry!" I said as soon as I open the door. Dmitri was lying

on one of the mats and was reading one of his damn western novels. When I entered

he looked up at me.

"go out and do 20 laps then you come back here and we can spar." he said and I moaned, why did I have to run so much? " oh, and Kirova wanted to see you right after practice." he said when I was on my way out. Oh great. NOT! What have I done now?

Right after practice I went to Kirova's office. I didn't bother by knocking. What I saw made me shiver. Kirova was sitting in her chair but she wasn't breathing and she was burned. She had been murdered! Even if I hated the old hag, I never wished her this. I took the telephone on the desk and called Dimitri and begged to god that he would answer. After 4 signals he finally answered.
