(Rose POV)

"Adrian?"

"Hey Rose, thought you might like a break from everything. So want to go for a walk?"

"Um sure I would love to" This wasn't like Adrian to be so kind and nice. Maybe I had judged him too early.

I could feel the sand between my feet and smell the salt air as it circled around us.

"So why did you come to my dreams Adrian?" I had to know the reason.

"Because I can see how much you're hurting and this way you won't have a bad dream about Him"

I was in shock. He understood. I really shouldn't have judged him so harsh.

We walked for what seemed mere minutes when he stopped and smiled at me.

"Time to get up now and I will see you soon." He said smiling sweetly at him and I couldn't resist the urge to hug him. I held him close and just as I was about to stop he pulled me closer and whispered to me "I'm here Rose, whenever you need me." And with that my dream ended.

My alarm was going crazy as I hit it and rolled over. I sighed and went to have a shower.

"Day One" I tried to smile in the mirror but it wasn't right so after a few more tries I just gave up and went down to the common area. Where was everyone?

I walked out the door and instantly felt sick, the type of sickness that alerted me to one thing, the evil vampires, Strigoi. All I could think of was Lissa.

I ran as fast as I could to the Moroi dorms and no-one was there. I decided to go into her head to check she was safe.

"Rose, we have to find Rose!"

"We will find her Lissa just let's make sure you are safe first" Christian said. Ah fireboy you are helpful sometimes.

I slipped out of Lissa's head when I suddenly felt sick. I looked around me to find there were 5 Strigoi. Well I was still angry about Di...No I couldn't say his name as yet, but lets say I was angry, I turned to move into my defensive position when suddenly someone started laughing. I turned to see a Strigoi looking at me intently. Well you want to laugh at me you can be the first to die.

I launched myself at him and began to fight with him, he was very fast and although I had trained with my mentor he was so much quicker than me. I had dodged one of his attacks and landed a few blows on him before he hit me very hard. The hit echoed through my head. The other Strigoi's all looked on expecting the kill to be easy.

Well let's give them a show then. I pulled out the stake He had given me and used it on the Strigoi I was versing. The look of shock was evident on his face as he fell to his death. The others looked just as shocked as the first and before one of them moved I had taken 2 of the other evil vampires down. With no-one left to verse I felt my blood lust stop and looked around me. I had taken life, but this was my job, I was training to become a guardian and had to learn to deal with the consequences. Although they were evil and were planning on taking life they were once people.

As I contemplated this my vision went blurry and suddenly I saw the ground coming fast up towards me. I saw Alberta and Stan coming to help me but when they got here they saw the Strigoi and a look on their face told me something was terribly wrong.
