"Roza."

*Rose's POV*

It has been a year since that day. I ended up in Baia, Siberia, Russia. A family took me in as their own. It was a sweet family. I feel like part of the family. I am going to school there. I am still going to school to become a guardian.

It was the morning. I woke up to my alarm. The sun was just rising. I was going on my morning run before school. I got changed and went out. I had my IPod playing my running playlist. I have a favorite type of running route. When I got done I walked into the house.

"Morning Rose." Olena said to me from the kitchen.

"Morning." I said walking into the kitchen.

"Can you wake up the girls? So you guys are not late this time." Olena asked me.

"Sure." I said walking up the stairs. I saw Karolina heading downstairs with Paul and Zoya.

"Morning Karolina." I said to her.

"Morning Rose." She said to me.

"Hey my little ninja." I said to Paul. Then I saw Zoya. "Morning little princess."

"Rose, I am not little." Paul said to me.

"To me you are." I said to him.

"It's your turn to woke them up." Karolina said to me.

"It's always my turn to wake them up." I told her.

I then walked to Sonya's and Victoria's room. Victoria was already wake. She was in her uniform. She must have a shift at her work. She was a waitress at the favorite café. I know it's my favorite place.

"An early shift today?" I asked her.

"Yeah. Early and long." She told me.

"Wow. You should take it easy. Don't need you to be bed rest or anything." I said jokely. Sonya was pregnant. She was showing but she was not that far.

"Don't worry. I got this." She said to me.

"Okay. Take care my little niece in there." I told her.

"How do you know it's a girl?" She asked me.

"I just do. I have a feeling." I told her.

"Okay whatever. Just wake her up." She pointed to Victoria. She was still in bed. I looked at her and shocked my head. That use to be me. When I was at St. Vladimir Academy. But now I changed. I got before the sun rises. I train my ass off. I even got a job to help out around here. I am also a waitress at the same café as Sonya.

"Victoria, get up." I said pulling all the covers off of her.

She grabbed a pillow and hide her head under. Then said,

"Ten more minutes."

"No. Get up. If you are not up when I get back in here. I will get the bucket." I told her walking out of the room. Sonya just laughed and shocked her head.

"I will be right down." I told Sonya. I then walked into my room. It used to be Olena's son room. But he left while ago. He got a charge in the US.

I got changed into new clothes for school. When I got done I headed back downstairs. I saw Victoria siting at the table. I looked at her and said,

"You get spared this time."

We ate our breakfast. Then Victoria and I got into the car. I took Paul too. We headed to school. I dropped Paul off first at his part of the school. Then Victoria and I drove to find a parting spot.
