This was my first Fan Fic on here... or ever for that matter. I have gone back in and revised it... I hope that it is better than the old version, I have put a lot of work back into it. Please tell me what you think!
By the way, I do not own the Vampire Academy series or any of the charecters. They belong to the fabulous Richelle Mead.
Dimitri POV
I stood in the back row on the mob of people in the gym. It was graduation day for the novices. No moroi were allowed in, it was a celebration for d'hampirs, who were now guardians. It was their day, and as the moroi graduation had been the day after, they were all in their dorms, enjoying the day off.
Alberta stood on the stage with the diplomas and stakes in her hands. "A silver stake for Rosemarie Hathaway, personalized as requested by Princess Vasilisa Dragomir, her future Morori. Novice Hathaway has completed all courses required by the Guardian Council and by the administration of St. Vladimir's school for d'hampirs and morori. She has taken her oath to protect the morori to the best of her ability and to the fullest extent of her life. I now present her a diploma and a silver stake. Guardian Hathaway, I welcome you into the ranks." She turned to Rose and handed her the items. I had never been so proud of her before. She was so raw and young when I first met her. She had molded into a great guardian. She would be one of the very best. Rose had no idea how much I had to fight to even come close to beating her, and even then, I lost about half of the time. Rose hugged Alberta and walked off the stage. All of the teachers would miss her, even Guardain Alto. She had made an impression on everyone and wouldn't be forgotten anytime soon. The rest of the novices were called to receive their stakes and diplomas. After the ceremony Rose ran up to me. She looked so beautiful, and proud. She hugged me tightly.
"Roza I am so proud of you." I gave her a hug in return. I let go of her and looked up to see her mother walking towards us. I wasn't surprised that she got leave time to see her daughter's graduation, but Rose was.
"Mom, how did you get time off? Did your morori come with you?"
"No he did not come with me, but the Council thought it was important I take some time off. Apparently I have too much built up." Janine hugged Rose. "You have made an excellent mark here, and I'm proud of you. Welcome to the ranks." She turned to me. "Well are you excited that you and your mentee are going to be guarding the same person. You know each other's strengths and weakness', it should be a great match." I nodded, but I could see that Rose was blushing. She has always accused me of being in control, but it took me all I had not to blush right along with her. Janine smiled once more at Rose before walking away to chat with some of the other graduates and guardians.
"Dimitri, we can't both guard Lissa? You know that it won't work if we're more worried about each other. What are we going to do?" I shake my head at telling her that we would talk about it later. I'm about to say something about her stake when I hear screaming and glass breaking from behind me. I turn and can't believe what I see. Strigoi have gotten through the wards and are attacking the school once again.
