Disclaimers: I do not own Vampire Academy

Lissa's POV

I watched Rose walk away with Guardian Petrov, and she didn't look happy.

"Are you in trouble Rose?" I asked through the bond. Rose looked at me and smiled and shook her head. I nodded, and went back to talking to Christian.

"Hey Liss, do you know what that was about?" Eddie nodded towards Rose and guardian Petrov.

"No, she doesn't think she's in trouble. So we don't have to worry, about that." I smiled at that thought. Eddie looked over at Rose and frowned. I looked over and she seemed upset, well pained. Then an extraordinary thing happened I got sucked into her head. And I was seeing what she was remembering.

The night of the Strigoi attack

I rested my head on Dimitri's bare chest, taking comfort in his warmth. He kissed my forehead and ran his fingers through my hair and down my back, caressing my skin in the most delicious way.

"I love you, Roza." He kissed me again. "I'll always be here for you. I'm not going to let anything happen to you." I've never felt so safe, loved and wanted in my entire life.

My own mother may love me on some level though I can't say I have ever felt it, she certainly never made me feel like she had ever wanted me. I know Lissa loves me like a sister but it is me who makes her feel safe. My friends and teachers all care for me and I care for them. Dimitri is… he is the part of me I didn't even know I was missing and I believe in my heart that he feels the same.

I snuggled closer to him trying to forget that as soon as we leave this cabin we will have to go back to our duty filled lives where a relationship like ours is completely forbidden I don't know how I will survive once we leave.

"I wish we weren't Dhampir. I don't want to leave here. I want to stay here with you in this moment forever. I know it supposed to be wrong to feel this way but…"

"Shh, Roza," he held me tighter. "I promise you that we will find a way. You are my other half I and will never give you up."

End of flashback

I got out of her head and just stared at her. I couldn't believe what I just saw in her memory. I saw Guardian Petrov trying to get her attention. I saw Rose shake her head and then she took off running.

"ROSE!" I shouted through the bond. "ROSE, WHAT IS WRONG?" but she just ignored me and carried on running.

"Liss, what is wrong with Rose?" Eddie asked still looking at where Rose ran off.

"I have no idea," I lied. Adrian frowned and looked at me. I didn't know what to make of what I'd seen, no way was I going to tell them.

"Liss?" Christian said. I looked at him. "Don't lie, come on. What's wrong with Rose?" he said.

"Look I don't know . Rose didn't say anything or tell me anything." I snapped. Christian looked hurt, I sighed, "Sorry babes." I said and hugged him.

"It's okay Lissa. I understand." He returned the hug and messed up my hair.

We all got up and rushed over to Guardian Petrov.

"Princess, Lord Ozera, Lord Ivashkov, Castile. What can I do for you?" she asked us.

"Um what is wrong with Rose, Guardian Petrov?" Christian asked.

"I don't know what to tell you. Sorry Lord Ozera." She apologized.

"What did you tell her?" Christian pressed.

"Lord Ozera, I can't talk to you about this. This was between me, Rose and Dimi ..." she stopped. "I suggest you ask her yourself Lord Ozera."

"Do you mean Guardian Belikov?" Eddie asked. "What does he have to do with any of this?"

"Like I said you have to ask Rose, it isn't my place to say. Sorry I have to get somewhere." And then she walked away.

"What the hell was that about?" Christian said to us.

"I don't know, but Rose is keeping something from all of us." Eddie chipped in.

"I wonder what she meant by Guardian Belikov? sAnd why would Guardian Petrov mention him?" Christian said. I looked at Adrian who hadn't said anything.

"Come on, we have to go to class." I said and they all looked at me like I was crazy. "Rose will be fine, I bet you she will be in your guardian training class all ready to go, and take her anger out on someone." At that they laughed and agreed.

"See you later Lissa, Christian, Adrian," and with that Eddie walked off.

"By you two," Adrian said and walked back towards the guest housing estate.

"Come on Liss." Christian said and pulled me along to my first class.

As the day passed I didn't see Rose at all and it was getting me worried. It was the end of fourth period, beginning of lunch and Rose still hadn't been seen. I hurried to the cafeteria hoping to see here there, when I spotted Eddie and ran up to him.

"Eddie! Have you seen Rose?"

"No, she wasn't in our first class, or any others. Sorry Liss." His forehead crinkled with concern. We got lunch and sat at our table and everyone came by and sat by us, accept Rose. We looked around and saw some of the guardians talking. I spotted Guardian Petrov again, I wanted to go and ask her if she knew where Rose was. But the look in her face told me not to.

Lunch carried on, and Rose still didn't turn up. I tried to slip into her head, but it didn't work.

Lunch ended and I was meant to have Rose in my next class, so hopefully she turned up. I walked in and sat and waited for her. Five minutes went by and Rose sill didn't turn up. The roll was called and when the teacher said Roses' name she looked up and I shrugged and she frowned and continued.

The class started, and I hadn't seen Rose at all. I decided that if she didn't turn up by the end the school day, then I would go and talk to Guardian Petrov. Last period ended, and I met up with Eddie, Christian and Adrian. We went and tried to find Guardian Petrov. We found her guarding the Quad and looking around as if she was trying to find someone. We asked her the same questions as this morning and told her that she hadn't been in her lessons and that we hadn't seen her. When we told her this she didn't seemed surprised.

"Guardian Petrov, do you know where Rose is?" I finally asked, after the boys shut up.

"Sorry Princess. No I don't, we have been trying to find Rose for most of the day but we can't find her, though I'm sure she's fine. She is an excellent student who is on her way to becoming a great guardian. Wherever she is I am sure she is safe. Now go on your four, you've only got an hour and half before curfew." And with that we left. I had to agree that Rose could take care of herself. Besides she is not far off, I know this because I know she would never leave me.

"Adrian, what do you think she's keeping from us?" I asked. He looked at me, and shrugged.

"Adrian why have you been like really quiet?" Eddie asked.

"I haven't been, I just don't fell like talking. I'll see you three later. I'm going back to my room. Bye," and then he left.

"What was that about?" Christian asked.

"Come on let watch a movie for a bit," Eddie said. We were all still feeling a little insecure after the attack and I don't think any of us felt like being alone any more than necessary.

"Yeah, I'm in and I'll text Adrian, to tell him that we are." I said.

Adrian,

We are watching a movie the lounge near Christian's dorm

Come by if u want

Liss

About two minutes later, I got a text back.

Na, it's alright I'll b spending time with my vodka n cloves

Adrian

I smiled at the expected answer and told Eddie and Christian as we headed for the lounge. I sat next to Christian but I didn't really watch the movie. Even though I know she is most probably fine, I hoped by tomorrow Rose would turn up and we would be able to talk about what I'd seen and that I'd been sucked into her thoughts.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

So just a little idea into Lissa's head and what she saw with Rose and Guardian Petrov. And this chapter is a bit shorter than the two chapters posted but I am unsure about the amount of words that will be im chapters, if there will be a max or a minimum.

I'll keep them coming :)
