I had done it I had killed him, I felt broken, soulless even. Now I was standing in front of the academy on graduation day. I walked through the gates and searched out one of the guardians. When I found one, he altogether seemed surprised to see me.
" I need to see my mother." I said my voice void of any emotion. He led me through the grounds to the guardians' quarters. All the guardians looked up at our entrance. " Rose.' My mother walked up to me " I'm so glad you're alright." She enveloped me in a hug. I gave a small smile "Thanks."
" I know I haven't I fully passed all my courses but…"
My mother spoke softly " I know but we have already discussed we believe that your ready to join the guardians. Although I am sorry to say, that Lissa has already been assigned to someone. I nodded expecting this, yet I still felt a hint of anger.
" So whom will I be assigned to then?"
" Adrian he has no guardians so we thought that he be assigned one." I nodded ' Adrian won't be so bad'
I turned to leave " Rose," I turned " you will be rewarded your marks tomorrow." I checked the bond and Lissa was in the library. I walked through the aisles to a table in the far corner. There I saw Adrian, Christine, Ethan, and Lissa. " Hi" Everyone turned: instantly Lissa jumped up and enveloped me in a hug.
" Oh my gosh, you're here, this is great now you can be my other guardian." She started to talk excitedly,
" Lissa I'm not going to be your guardian."
" What? Of course are, you have to be the bond. I mean we all know you missed school but still they know you're capable."
" I know and they know that it's just you have been assigned another guardian."
" What me" Ethan said walking over to me. " Yep I know you'll take good care of her."
Lissa started to pace around the room " Then who are you assigned to." I looked straight into Adrian's eyes
" Adrian." Lissa looked over at Adrian who, I saw looked as shocked as everyone else did in the room.
I walked over to Lissa hugged her " Don't worry we'll see each other, you both will be living at the royal court so don't worry." I could still feel the sadness and nervousness in her but she quickly hid it " Okay."
