Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Academy or its characters. I do own Maya, Nikolai and Andrea though.

What did he need to talk to me for? I tried thinking of a reason why but none were coming to my head. The truth is, he never needed to see me before so what was going on? Honestly, I was starting to get worried.

During my mental babbling, I heard knocking on the door.

"Hold on a minute!" I yelled. I needed to collect myself before opening that door. There was no way in hell that I was going to let anyone see me losing my signature cool over a guy – well, a super hot god-like guardian to be exact, but you get my point. Once I collected myself I opened the door.

"What?"

"May I come in? There are things we need to discuss." Discuss? What the hell, does he think he's my lawyer or something? What does he need to "discuss" with me?

"Okay?" It ended up coming out as a question, but I didn't need to have answered because he already sat down by my desk. Are you going to say anything comrade? (A/N: I know Comrade is what Rose calls Dimitri, but since this IS their kids…I thought, why not?)

"Is there something you need to say or did you just want to be in my presence that badly?"

He rolled his eyes at that. "It has been decided that you will be having extra practice sessions." What the hell? Who am I, my mom?

"What? Why? I'm the best novice here and it's not like I was away at all!" I said while freaking out. This makes no sense!

"Although that may be true-"

"It IS true!" I interrupted.

"You are a royal dhampir – one who is aware of that, and everyone knows the fact. This means that you are very talked about amongst the strigoi." He continued as if I hadn't said anything.

I couldn't believe what I had just heard. "WHAT? Whoa, whoa, whoa! Back up. I'm not the only royal dhampir who 'is aware of it and everyone knows the fact' as you say. So are you! Your mom is an Ozera and you know her! And what does me being a royal dhampir have to do with strigoi?"

"Yes, but Ivashkovs have always been more…accepted into society than Ozeras. And about the strigoi: you learned about when groups of strigoi were hunting down royal families right? Well, it's been discovered that something very similar is happening again, except there is only one person they want dead. You." Strigoi want me dead. That's going to be a pain in the ass if I'm trying to guard Andrea and we keep having to deal with them just because of me. Shit!

"So because the strigoi basically want to hunt me down and kill me, it's been decided that I need extra practice. And whose idea was this anyway?"

"That is correct." If the situation wasn't so serious I would have laughed at his formality. As it was, I just kept silent. "And it was more than one person's idea."

"Again I ask, who?" Just answer the damn question! After having learning what I had my patience was running very thin.

"Lord Adrian Ivashkov. Rose Hathaway. Janine Hathaway. Abe Mazur. Queen Vasilisa Dragomir. King Christian Ozera. Headmistress Kirova. Is that enough names for you?" I expected my parents but not all of the most important adults in my life. Of course, I wasn't going to show how much that touched me.

"And how much 'extra practice' am I going to need? And who is going to be my mentor?" If it's Stan I just might go to the strigoi myself.

"One hour before and after school." Great. I already had enough problems getting up to get to class on time. "And I will be your mentor." And that just may be my motivation to get up even earlier.

"Alright then. Is that all?"

"Yes. We start practicing tomorrow. Meet me at the gym at 6am." He said while getting up and standing in my doorway.

"Fine. Bye."

"Goodbye."
