CHAPTER 2

I woke with a fright not knowing where I was. I looked around taking in all of my surroundings. I was in my dorm laying in my bed on top of the covers. I must have fallen asleep in the forest last night when I was with Dimitri. I pulled open the blinds on the window and stared out into the sunlight. I looked down realising that I still had my skinnys on and my black singlet. I walked slowly over to the cupboard and search for a pair of PJ's. Finding the perfect pair I chucked then on. And clasped onto the bed. I was still very tired. I eventually managed to doze off but later being awoken by Lissa's incredibly strong feelings. Naturally I slipped into her head. She was walking alone a coble stone footpath. Hand in hand with a guy. I didn't't know if it was the guy from yesterday or if it was Christian. She looked up to his eyes. This was my perfect chance to see what he really looked like. But sadly revealing that it was Christian. I continued to watch what she was doing. Now she was walking up the corridor to her dorm, with that she said goodbye to Christen and walked into her dorm. With Natalie gone she now had the room to her self. She walked over to one of the beds and collapsed. Through our bond I could tell that she was sad, excited and lonely. How could she be lonely she has 2 boyfriends. I snapped out of my nasty thoughts as soon as a figure started to approach Lissa. "Sit down" she said as she patted a spare spot on the bed next to her. He looked at her with a seductive look. As he went to sit down he never took his eyes of hers. " I don't mind if I do beautiful" He said with the same look. It looked like he was going to take her into the closet and attack her. She smiled flattered by the complement. For the first time I finally got to see his face. He had long brown hair that shaped around his face perfectly. Long arched eyebrows and his eyes were a deep shade of….. Red. Fear struck inside me as he tilted her head to the side and set his fangs into her white neck. I quickly snapped out of Lissa's head frozen with shock. I couldn't move or do anything. Suddenly I snapped out of my trance and jumped into guardian mode. Not caring what I had on. Sprinted out of the room down to Dimitri's dorm. I blurted out what was happening and where she was and Dimitri ran out of the room with his sliver stack. "You can stack her she's my Bestfreind". I yelled at him.

"I'm not going to I'm going to spike the Strigoi". He gave me a look as if to say are-you-stupid-Rose. I rolled my eyes and ran to Kirovi's office and also blurted out what was happening. We raced off to Lissa's room. Finding out that it was too late. Lissa was raging around trying to bite everyone in her path. Dimitri was using his Ninja like guardian moves. He was really like a god when he was in action. I looked around taking in the horrible site. My Bestfreind trying to kill my boyfriend, the dead Strigoi laying in the corner, Dimitri racing around like a mad thing trying to kill Lissa. I tried to stop him. But it was to late Lissa had been killed. She was laying on the floor dead with a shocked look on her face. I ran off to my dorm eyes filled with tear. I was angry at Dimitri for killing her. I was angry at myself for not protecting her better. I just wanted to punch something. And I needed to punch something NOW. I stormed down the corridor looking for the first person in site. Lucky for me it was Mia. I felt happier that I was gonna punch someone so plastic as her. I walked up to her and slammed my fist into her small child like face. She fell onto the ground taking all her followers with her. I stormed off back into my dorm and cried for hours. I heard all the noise outside as people rushing towards Mia. They were all still oblivious of what had just happened.

Later that day Kirovi held a assembly in honour of Lissa's Memory. I sat on the stage next to Dimitri with a box full of tissues- not that I needed then Dimitri's chest worked much better. After everyone had settled Kirovi announced the my Bestfreind was gone. "I am here to tell you about a very sad thing that has happened in this academy. I am sad and heart broken to announce that Vasilisa Dragomir is dead." A wave of shock fear and sadness tore through the crown of students. "everyone knew what a great student Vasilisa was…." I stood up angry I started to yell at Kirovi with all my last strength." HER NAME WAS LISSA. NO ONE CALLED HER VASILISA AND SHE WAS MY BESTFREIND. YOU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT HER AND YOU NEVER WILL." I stormed off the stage with Dimitri and my flanks. "Rose" He called after me. "Roza. Stop. Please come here." I turned around eyes full of tears. Dimitri had his arms open. I ran straight into him and wrapped my arms around him and cried into his chest. "Its going to be okay Roza. I love you. I will always be here for you." He said soothingly. I believed him and let him take me to my dorm.
