Wow! Thanks for the reviews! Really they meant a lot! I was so nervous about posting, it was my first one, and I had no idea if it was good. But you guys convinced me to keep going, so here I am, sorry this one's a little short, but I currently do not have my first copy, so I do not know the exact dialogue and I know that's important. Hey, if ya get really bored type it on up and message it to me! But as soon as I get it back, I will write a longer one, maybe I'll make something to take up the space…who knows! Thanks again!

I knew she would take the deal. I had no doubt that the probation would be hard on her; she seemed like the type that really enjoyed parties. But she also seemed like the type who was responisible, I didn't think I would have to worry about her getting drunk, but sneaking out, that would definitely be a problem. I still couldn't believe what I had gotten myself into, here was this random girl, which I had no previous connections with, and I had just volunteered to give up most of my free time, so that she could stay here at the academy. I could not figure out why this girl had stood out to me, there was nothing unique or remarkable about her! That's not true, I knew that wasn't true. She was strong, fierce, determined, all of these could also mean stubborn I told myself, which only made her a remarkable brat. But there was more, she was mature, in looks and mind. Her beauty could not be denied, I examined her with her long brown hair, and deep brown eyes, she also had tanner skin than most students at the academy, and I thought she might enjoy the sun very much. I realized what I was thinking, and I also knew that I had never found another female attractive like I did her, I never denied that some were prettier than others, when they tried, but she…she…looked like a mystery that you wanted to unravel, find out what was going on in her mind, because you knew whatever it was, would just make her prettier. I stopped myself, I should not be thinking of her looks this much, I was supposed to train her, I could not be distracted by my opinion of her appearance. I instead started thinking of her mind, we were walking her back to her gym class now, and I could see that she was considering what it would be like to see everybody again. She was so mature for her age, she knew how to protect Vasilisa, and she knew better than most adult guardians, just how serious it all was. I knew that every guardian here would be able to handle a Striogoi attack, but could they be prepared, could they keep themselves from getting cocky, and could they understand other dangers besides just Striogoi? I doubted it. And I knew that Rose could. I thought back to when we had been observing them. Rose had managed to get the same schedule as the princess except for one class, Vasilisa had been moved to AP trigonometry immediately after her first math class, and Rose had stayed in Algebra. During this class somebody decided to get curious about Vasilisa, they started asking about her parents, and her current address, I was watching a cabinet that had been broken because it was too hard for the teacher to open it, I had no difficulty. I could see that she was uncomfortable, and so could the student, but he didn't stop.

"What do your parents do? Did you have to move here because of them, man I would be pissed at that!"

"What? No, we moved because of…school, we didn't like the school I was going to and…we…umm…moved here." The princess was not a good liar, but she convinced this boy.

"Oh cool so do your parents ever go back to…where did you move from again?" A flash of fear crossed her face and then the door slammed, and I looked to see Rose standing in the doorway, she had a look of pure disgust for the boy, but she quickly hid it, and instead wore a look of pure innocence.

"The principal needs to see these two right away." She said it so confidently, and with such a dazzling smile at the end that I knew nobody could deny her.

"All right, when do you think they will be returning? Oh I think the boy will be back in about ten minutes, I am not so sure of L-the girl." She caught herself, obviously not wanting the teacher to know that she was friends with the girl she was taking out of class.

He didn't notice and gave her a slip, and the three walked out. I wanted to see what was happening so badly, I wanted to know what she would say to this poor boy, who had only been trying to get to know a pretty girl. I was far enough back in the classroom to be able to talk quietly and not be heard, so I pulled out my phone and called Nate-Nathaniel to anyone else- I told him to use his phone to film the entire conversation. It worked like a charm, he was in the perfect place to see, but not be seen, Guardians always knew how to find places like his, and it was part of the job. As I watched it I could not help but laugh, the boys face went from terrified too pleased, back to terrified in a short moment.

"Now, why would you question my friend like that? She liked you but she doesn't like her family or her house, and she definitely doesn't like to talk about the dreaded place she moved here from." She said it in a pleasant voice, but I could catch the threats beneath her words, so could he.

"I…um…well…I just wanted to get to know her a little better, that's all." He stuttered, and hesitated, but he finally got it all out

"Oh I see, well the thing is she has a boyfriend, and he gets really jealous, he's a head wrestler, and used to play football, so he isn't so good at solving problems with words, of you know what I mean." She winked, and I felt a strange feeling in my stomach must have been bad pizza, I said to myself, because I did not feel so well watching her flirt with this guy. "And I just would really hate to have to run from the cops with him again…" she sounded so sad and believable. You would have never thought she had been on the run for 2 years straight.

The boy looked absolutely horrified, and I was worried he would pee his pants, but he calmed down, and managed to stutter out a 'no problem' before turning to leave. I saw Rose consider for a moment, and then kiss him, right there, his terror went away, and was replaced with surprise, and pleasure. He turned and walked back to class.

"Rose! Was that really necessary?" The princess sounded like a parent, and I realized she must be the voice of reason.

"Yes. Did you see his face, he could hardly walk back in like that without raising up questions." I could not believe what I had just seen, it made me angry! Angrier than I probably should have been over her saving herself a little trouble, I wanted to puke right there, and I felt my mask of control threaten to break, but with effort I kept it there. It was disgusting, to kiss a boy like that, just so he looked happy when he walked back into class.

"Yeah, he did look pretty scared. He didn't even ask how you knew what was going on."

"I was on a bathroom break, I like to take them during math, and was looking through the window, I saw how upset you were, and I didn't want to risk suspicion with your terrible lying." She said it confidently, but I couldn't figure out why, or how, but I knew she was leaving something out.

"Oh, okay" The princess looked tired and Rose could tell.

"Come on, I will get the secretary to excuse you and we will go home, you look beat." The princess did not like the idea of leaving, I could tell, but she gave in, and followed obediently. They had returned home that day and the princess had slept while Rose stayed alert on the computer; it looked like she was on Google for something.

I returned back to the present, we were walking Rose to her first class, it was a fight class, and I was interested to see exactly how bad she was after two years off.

She walked in and looked around, seeing a face she recognized she called out,

"Hey Mason, wipe the drool off your face. If you're gonna think about me naked, do it on your own time." Of course she would start off with a witty remark; it was how she made herself comfortable.

"This is my time Hathaway. I'm leading today's session." This boy obviously had feelings for her, and she knew it. Too bad, I thought, she doesn't have time for a boyfriend, not with my training sessions.

"Oh yeah?" She would not give up, she was enjoying the banter way too much, "Huh, well I guess this is a good time to think about me naked, then."

"It's always a good time to think about you naked." Another boy joined in. The guardian in charge finally came over and told Mason to get started. He grabbed Rose and started sparring with her, I could see that she had not been practicing, maybe too busy protecting the princess for sports, I watched as she received a nasty kick in the thigh, and sighed, maybe she was just too lazy. As I watched her spar I thought about exactly how much she had done for the princess. She had left the academy, which she so obviously loved, she enjoyed the training, and the friends, and I could tell she was happy to be back. She risked expulsion, and endangered her own life, by going out into the real world by herself. She had pushed herself in front of the princess at every sign of danger, including me when I first found them. Finally, I considered the greatest sacrifice yet, as I remembered seeing her tilt her neck back and offer the princess her blood. It was too much for me to handle, how did a 17 year old girl give up so much, without feeling anything but love for the source of all her sacrifice? I had to admire this girl. As I realized these things about her, I also realized that no matter what she had done before she left (and I had suspicions about whether or not she did commit the school property damage, it wasn't really her style to trash a royals bedroom) she had not taken the princess to escape consequences, she had taken the princess because of something, something we did not know about, she had done it to protect her.

So that's what I've got so far! I love writing it and as soon as I get my VA book back, I will continue! I might continue anyways! But school starts back tomorrow so I can't be sure that I will be able to post again before the weekend. Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I may post shout outs next time, but I replied to each individually. So thanks again =]

The Green Button is calling your name!!!
