Again I don't own any of the characters. They belong to Richelle Mead and she's still being mean and won't give me Dimitri and Adrian ;)

We walked straight into Alberta's office without stopping for anything. She looked up from her desk as we entered. I guess the looks on our faces tipped her off because any formalities she was about to use slipped and her face became a hard façade. She came from behind her desk to stand right in front of us.

"Janine what's wrong? Rose?" she leaned by my ear and whispered "Did you tell her?"
"Yes Alberta she did tell me. Actually it seems she told everyone before she even thought to tell me, but that is another matter" interrupted my mother. "At the moment we have another crisis on hand. It seems that Rose's quest was unsuccessful. Until recently we all believed Dimitri Vladimir Belikov to be dead. Is that correct?"
"Believed?" Alberta questioned.
"Yes under some amazing circumstances Dimitri was able to deliver Rose a note telling her he is coming to exempt her life. Rose show her your letter" I handed Alberta the letter as my mother continued "Naturally you would think it was someone's sick joke that knew but the stake Rose used to try and kill Dimitri was sent with the letter in the package. While fighting Rose had suspected she hadn't thrust it in enough but she had to leave because she had a serious risk of dying from her injuries and exhaustion."

Alberta seemed to consider this then turned to me. "Rose is all this true?" "Yes Guardian Petrov." I replied.

That's all Alberta needed. The next three hours seemed to go on forever. First Alberta made a call to someone that assembled all the guardians on campus except the ones guarding the gates of course. We all gathered in the guardian hall. It was about eleven in the morning so the students where all supposed to be in bed. Most of the guardians mirrored the way I always felt now, sleepy yet still alert and on end due to surrounding dangers.

"What's the meaning of this Alberta? We need all the rest we can get due to these double shifts we have to work now." That was Stan of course.
"If you calm yourself and sit down Alto we might be able to tell you" my mother hissed. As if suddenly noticing my presence beside my mother Stan replied in his smartass, snide way, "What has she done now?"
"She has a name and she has a message for us." Alberta said then she launched into a summary of the story I had told her with my mother's help of what she knew. I sat in a chair at the back of the room while they talked.
Stan was the first to speak after they finished the story "It's obvious what we have to do Alberta. Janine you surly must know."
"And what would that be Alto throwing her to the Stirgoi"
"That wouldn't be a bad idea but we have to send her away."
"Send her away, but to where?" a guardian called from the back.
"Isn't it obvious…." He replied.
"Alto we are not send her to a blood whore commune" Alberta said annoyed.
"Why does everyone except the worst from me? I just meant we could send her to…a convent"
"A WHAT!!" I had been quiet the whole time but sending me to a convent was a cruel and unusual punishment for one mistake I had made. I mean it was even that fact that be sworn from guys. (It wasn't like I planned on falling in love with anyone else and if I did it wouldn't be for a long time.) My thing was I barely believed in God and to put me in a convent where all you did was pray. They couldn't be serious, where they trying to convert me.

"A convent, Miss Hathaway, can't you hear." Said Alto bored.
"I heard you but you can't be serious"
"Actually I believe it's a good idea" of course my atheist mother would think it was a good idea to send her daughter to a place filled with holy people.
"Then it's settled, Rose will be sent to a convent as soon as possible." Oh, thanks for the help Alberta just agree with them then.

After the meeting ended I was sent to pack up my things. Great right after I unpacked all my things I have to pack them up again. I shouldn't have had as many things as I did but while Dimitri had held my captive he had liked to dress me up. About a day or two after he sent the note he had started sending the clothes piece by piece. I guess he thought I should die looking beautiful because his clothes overcrowded any of my own original clothes.

After I finished packing I headed to Lissa's room, I had to tell her what had happened and say goodbye. But as I got closer to her room something was wrong I could her moaning coming from her room. I had blocked myself from her all day and didn't know what was going on. Before I had completely understood the jumble of feelings coming to me I had busted in the door. What I saw made me do a double take and regretted every opening the door….
