Chapter Three- RPOV
We walked over to the guardian lodge to see it was bustling with activity, people where yelling and running around, it was chaos. But there was my mum standing there with a group of people hovering around her and she was giving them orders.
I went over to her and listened to what she was saying.
"There will be a meeting held in the Major Assembly Hall in approximately 15 minutes. There we will address what is going to happen. You will have to wait until then to find out what your duties are. That is all I can tell you."
I went back to Lissa, and relayed the information to her. Straight away she whipped out her phone, calling Christian, and explained everything. She then told me that he was with Mason and Eddie on their way to the assembly hall and we would meet them there.
The Major Assembly Hall was big enough to fit all the resort stayers and then some more. It was a massive, elaborate room, where chandeliers hang from the ceiling and ancient paintings where on the walls. The room was beautiful. There were rows of chairs set up so everybody could get a good look at who was on stage, and at this moment, it was Alberta. Together they called attention and asked everybody to sit down. We found Mason, Christian and Eddie 3 rows from the back and slid in next to them. Alberta then explained to everybody what had happened in Russia and how it was such a security threat to us here in the United States.
"What has happened in Russia is a huge threat to us here. So, by order f the Guardian Headquarters, novice guardians from St. Vladimir's and St. Marks" St Marks was another school like Vladimir's who were staying at the lodge with us. "Students will be sent off in groups of 4, 2 being from each school to different parts of the world where known strigoi are. Other guardians will also be sent off along with them. I myself included."
It was silent for a long time after that. You know the silence where you hear the frog ribbet or a coin drop? It was like that. It was Rebecca Badica, a moroi royal who spoke up first.
"When will this be happening? What about everybody else here?" he asked. Then a few more people stood up and started yelling.
"Those kids have no idea of what they are doing, you can't throw them into boiling water like that!" another moroi said, I think his name was Dane Crawford or something; he was a billionaire who was Australian but lived over here.
"I agree with you all. But I cannot change the minds f the council. Even the queen has agreed to their decision. There is no turning back now."
This caused uproar throughout the room. Most of the royal moroi agreed it was a good idea, where as the middle class didn't. Of course the dhampir's didn't get any say in it at all. They come first.
"This is the conclusion of the meeting. All Novice students meet me in the Riverton Function room in 5 minutes. You will find out who you are pairing with and where you will be going and for how long. Another meeting for senior guardians will be held in the Riverton in 2 hours. That is all."
