I blinked rapidly as Lissa stood by my bed, the light was switched on and I automatically glanced to my left- checking if Dimitri was beside me. He wasn't. The cover was folded neatly on the side he usually slept. I turned back to Lissa. Her expression startled me enough to have me standing in an instant- her eyes had dark shadows below them and her smile was tight lipped. I automatically opened my mind to hers, but couldn't feel a thing. Old habits die hard. I was too used to having the bond and still couldn't help attempting to reach out to her with my mind and 'hear' her thoughts.
"What's wrong, Liss?"
"You should come with me." I stared at her, unmoving. She slowly backed towards the exit.
"Are you okay? Tell me what's going on, is it the darkness? Have you been using too much spirit?"
"I'm... fine. I'm perfectly fine. You need to see this." I relaxed slightly. I'd been worrying about her welfare much more recently, now that I don't have the bond to check up on her. I was slowly getting used to the idea that I could no longer hear everything Lissa was thinking- not that I liked it. She needed me to help her battle spirit and although she insisted I didn't need to worry and that it was 'her battle' now, I couldn't help constantly pestering her with questions about how she is feeling. I'm her guardian. It's my duty.
Snapping out of my thoughts, I moved towards her as she stared at me expectantly.
"Can I change?"
"Be quick." She smiled weakly and I hurried off to dress. I slipped on my well fitted black pants, a white blouse and a sleek black jacket with a red collar to indicate I was a royal guardian. I twisted my hair into a pony tail, no time for buns apparently, and scurried back to Lissa. I only paused to pick up the stake on my bedside table and slide it into the special pocket on the inside of my jacket. She was holding the door open and tapping her foot impatiently. I smirked.
"Where's Dimitri?"
She didn't answer, stepping out the door and gliding quickly down the hall. I caught it just as it was closing and slipped outside, hearing it click shut as I trailed behind Lissa.
After a minute or so of walking down a long hallway we arrived at an empty room, the door was ajar and I stepped in front of Lissa instantly, my guardian instincts kicking in. Lissa smirked slightly as I pulled out my stake and gave the door a gentle shove, preparing for anything as the door opened. Almost anything. I nearly dropped my stake as I saw Adrian, Dimitri, Christian, Mia and Eddie sitting around a table, but they weren't what surprised me. On the small wooden table sat a poster with a very outdated picture of me on it, a dark metal gate and the words "Vampire Academy."
