Chapter 2:

It had been a few days and I had perfected using a blindfold. When Lissa found out, she decided to celebrate with me so we went out to the closest bar. I entered first checking the surroundings for any threats. The bar had a very cosy feeling to it. It had lots of mementos that the owner obviously kept from his and the customers trips.

"Rose." She said putting her hand on my shoulder. "Relax. This is about you which means you need to be the one having fun."

"But you know what happened last time? And besides I'll relax when there is more than one guardian on duty but you only have me. I can't lose you Lissa. You are my sister." I looked at her pleadingly.

She sighed. "I know Rose. You are my sister too and as your sister I command you to have at least one drink." Before I butted in she continued. "Just one drink Rose. You seem like you have a stick up your ass right now." I looked at her shocked. "In a nice way." She added. I rolled my eyes – she didn't have a mean bone in her.

I considered what she said until I finally relented. "Only one. And trust me I don't need the alcohol, I'm always the life of the party." I said dragging her towards the counter knowing she was repeating my gesture and rolling her eyes. We sat right in the middle of the counter getting the attention of the males near us. I laughed inwardly at that. Lissa and I are desirable at the worst of times. When you add make up and other figure hugging dresses into it we are the centre of people's worlds. I'm not vain though. You just when you have something when males flock to you.

While I and Lissa were desired, we were not alike at all. She is tall, pale and slim like all Moroi. She had long blonde hair and dazzling light green eyes. Her features were straight and perfect and humans would consider her to be a supermodel. While I am short: a measly five foot four. I also have curves and add this to the fact that I work out constantly, my body is at melting point to the male eye (and female eye to some). Then there are my features. Even though my mother is Scottish and has red hair my father, Abe or Zmey as some would call him is Turkish. I took that from his side. I have olive skin and I look like an Arabian princess with my long dark brown almost black hair and brown eyes.

Lissa was making idle chat with me while we waited for the drinks to come. I looked around the bar, still semi paranoid and my eyes ended up on the guy behind Lissa. He was staring at Lissa like she was a goddess. I giggled slightly stopping Lissa midway in a sentence. "What?" She asked puzzled.

I smiled to her. "12 O'Clock I see a really nice pair of shoes with yellow laces." I used our terminology for all things boys – shoe being hot guy and yellow lace, blonde hair. She glanced behind her and gave him a quick smile. His eyes bugged out for being caught and then he blushed. "What do you think? Cute isn't he?"

Lissa looked down smiling brightly. The light caught the bags under her eyes. Frowning, I looked closer and noticed other things. Her skin was paler than usual and she looked slightly sick. Gulping the last of my drink I told her that we needed to go to the bathroom. She walked slowly with me behind her as I tried to figure out the last time she fed. It had to be at least 3 days ago if not more.

As we got into the bathroom, I checked to see if anyone was in there. When there wasn't, I went to the door and locked it. I then cornered Lissa with the question 'why haven't you fed'. I watched as she hung her head in shame. "I don't like asking you for blood. You are my friend and every time you feed me I'm degrading you making you seem like a blood whore. I don't like it." She mumbled.

"Oh Lissa." I sighed and pulled her into a hug. Of course she would think of anyone but herself. I gradually moved away and moved my hair away from my neck. She shook her head as I did this. "Lissa you need a pick-me-up. Have a tiny bit now and when we get back I'll feed you properly okay?" She nodded her answer looking at my neck in hunger. I shuddered slightly as it always reminded me of my first Strigoi encounter but I shut that from mind and watched her bite me. I then felt the rush of endorphins go into my body and I felt like I was drugged up. It of course could be an addiction getting bitten, however I've felt a Strigoi's bite which is ten times stronger so this was nothing. Besides I have to agree with Lissa – I would never want to be a blood whore. Ever.

Once Lissa had finished, I cleaned up the wound as best as I could, feeling weaker even with the little amount she took. I covered it with my hair and unlocked the door. I opened the door and looked around noticing differences in the bar straight away. Three tall men were sitting spread around the bar. Dhamphirs.

I closed the door and locked it again hiding our view from them. I looked frantically around the room for a big enough window to escape from. There wasn't. I went through the room plan of the bar and remembered the door to the left of us was for staff. Surely there would be an exit there.

I turned to Lissa who was worried about me. "Lissa there are Dhampirs out there." Her face showed fear and shock that we have been found. "To get out, I need you to follow and listen to everything I say okay? Now come on." I grabbed her hand and opened the door quickly running to the staff door. I barely heard the owner shout before I was in the next room. Cursing him for bringing us attention, my eyes traced the room around us. I smiled relieved when I saw the exit sign clearly labelled. I pulled Lissa along at my speed and opened the door to the alleyway.

We raced towards the lighted street but suddenly ran into a tall muscular wall that had stepped out from behind the dumpster. Damn. Pushing Lissa behind me I crouched down and swung my leg out to swipe him off his feet. He countered my attack by grabbing my foot. Without thinking, I jumped into the air bringing up my other foot and kicking the person in front of me with all my power. He let go off my foot and I landed gracefully like a cat while I watched him stumble backwards. I started feeling slightly light-headed from the blood that I was still losing out of the bite mark. I shook my head to clear it and stood up ready for the Dhampirs next move. I could see through his neutral face that he was impressed with me and working out a strategy. He unexpectedly charged me, but I dodged him in the nick of time only stumbling once. I righted myself and quickly went back to Lissa by the wall to protect her. I looked around me and noticed more than one guardian, but the tall one was nearest. He was looking in one direction only. My neck. My hair had moved away due to the unexpected fight so he could see the blood streaking down my neck slowly. I growled at him, tossing my hair over the bite. He came out of his obvious stare and stepped forward again and I crouched again preparing myself to attack to get my charge and I away. He brought his hands up to indicate he wasn't going to attack. I didn't release from my crouch.

"Rose." I heard my best friend say from behind me. I turned my ear to her to indicate I was listening. "Stop." I felt her emotions through the bond. She then repeated her statement, saying in her to me through the bond "I'm sorry." The last stop she had used had slight compulsion in it and I gradually straightened up into a more friendly gesture. I glanced at Lissa looking at her with understanding and a little anger for her using compulsion on me.

I looked at all the Guardians surrounding us. "It took you long enough to find us. Here I thought Guardians were supposed to be almighty yet they couldn't even find two seventeen year old girls for two years. Shame on you." Sarcasm was laced throughout my little speech and when I finished I noticed a few familiar faces on the team from two years ago who were trying not to smile at my usual Rose attitude.

"Rosemarie," I glared the tall man in front of me but he continued ignoring my famous glare, "and Princess Vasilisa we have been ordered to bring you back to Saint Vladimir's Academy by Principal Kirova. I would also like to introduce myself to you Princess because I am your guardian. My name is Guardian Dimitri Belikov and I'm glad to be of service to you." He then bowed gracefully considering his height. I glared again when he announced himself as her Guardian considering I was supposed to be her Guardian!

Lissa put a hand on my shoulder to stop me from going pyscho on this imposter, stepped forward so she was next to me and relied royally. "I am glad to meet you Guardian Belikov. We will come with you without any inconveniences, won't we Rose?" She said looking at me with a 'do as your told' look. I nodded mutely while raging inside.

We were put into separate cars (presumably to stop us conversing and creating a plan to escape) and we headed towards the airport. When we were at the airport we bypassed security which made me sigh. In my thigh holster I had a silver enchanted stake ready for any Strigoi. As we moved through the airport we each had at least six guardians around us to make sure we did nothing funny. On the school's plane, I was placed at the back while Lissa was placed at the front. I smirked at all the procedures they were doing to keep us away from each other.

I sat down arrogantly and watched my escorts slowly spread themselves around me but not in my aisle. Everyone had heard of the Hathaway/Mazur anger then and didn't want to be near me for evidence of it. I smirked at the thought but it dropped quickly. I had spoken too soon. Belikov came towards me from where Lissa sat and plonked himself gracefully down right next to me. I puffed out and decided if he wanted to speak to me, he was going to have to go through a lot of effort to get me to talk.

I waited for him to speak but he didn't so I ignored him and checked up on Lissa. This was one of the many things our bond could do and we could communicate through her head too which I admit thinking about it now, it sounds very weird but oh well, I'm used to weirdness. As I entered her head, she felt the intrusion. "Rose?" I smiled at that.

"Who else, the president?" I said cockily. She giggled but quickly sobered up.

"What are we going to do Rose?" I could feel how much trust she had towards me and I felt guilty I had let her down by getting us caught. I was a failure.

"We will stay in the academy until the Guardians have died down with their worries. Then we will escape again find Rob and go to on a long vacation in Europe. What do you think? Maybe we can get ourselves some cute British guys." As I said Rob's name, I had a realisation. "Dimitri's trying to talk to me. I don't want to seem like a retard so see you when we are at the academy." I lied.

I came out of her head with my anger clearly written on my face. Rob that bastard! He had reported us! That's why he said I was ready for something! It's why he didn't come out tonight! What the fuck! When I see him next… My thoughts escaped me as Belikov spoke to me.

"Are you alright?" He asked me warily. So he saw all the emotions that went on my face. He must have been puzzled. Well he can think I'm a freak. I don't care. I looked up into his face and finally properly noticed him now I was out of the 'he is my enemy' stage in a fight. He had a strong chiselled jaw and strong features which brought out his handsome face. His brown hair hung around his face sexily and his body was indescribable. The thing that amazed me the most was his eyes though. They were all different shades of brown and while he had a mask on for his emotions, his eyes told a different story. They were animated.

I blinked away my awe ashamedly. When did I get obsessed over a guy? Guys get obsessed over me, not the other way round. I turned my face away from him and held back all my emotions. "I'm fine. I'm just trying to work how you figured out where we were. Last time I checked, I led you all up to Canada by buying a flight with Lissa's credit card and not Washington."

He smiled at me, probably glad I was talking and not zoning out pulling faces again. "Someone actually tipped us off that you were here." My anger increased thinking of Rob. I felt the darkness building so I locked it up for a later date.

"Hmm… interesting." I said letting some of my anger leak. I saw in the corner of my eye that Dimitri was staring at me probably trying to work out what was wrong again. He didn't say anything though about it. A comfortable silence enveloped us but I did feel his glances on me on occasion.

After his last glance I snapped at him. "If you're looking at me constantly because you've never seen someone so beautiful go ahead and soak up my beauty, but if you do have something to say, please enlighten me."

He was about to respond but the pilot spoke over the intercom. "Ladies and gentleman we are on our descent into Montana, Saint Vladimir's Academy. Please fasten your seat belts."

Ahh my favourite place on Earth, Saint bloody Vladimir's. Note my sarcasm.
