A/N: Hey fans! I'm on chapter three, and I think things are running smoothly. Before I begin, I'd like to apologize to RenofAmestris. I acted a bit rudely towards you, so I'd like to offer my deepest apologies. I'm pretty sickly, so all I have is my writing. Please don't take it to heart. I love all people ^^. Now, let me begin!

*Vlad's POV*

"Where is that damn Hungarian? Oh, what I'd like to do to her if it was legal…" I couldn't help but be a bit violent. I had a headache the size of Texas! I don't think I deserved it!

I was waiting for the little prissy brat in the dorm, as patiently as I could. She was turning out so much like her sister, and I intended to change that. I wasn't one to deal with TWO insane Hungarians. It wasn't what my corky nature could handle. I couldn't put up with it for much longer.

I was still waiting. I couldn't be tolerant for much longer. I wanted to bestow revenge on that pixie-like brunette. She and her sister made my day-to-day life a living hell. In this case, hell was a better place to live in.

I decided to leave the dorm, and explore the campus. It was full of palm trees, and exotic fruits. I liked it so far, but it wouldn't take my mind off the massive migraine I had. Anasztázia was on my mind, and there was no way she'd be taken off.

In the lobby, I saw Rhode Island curled up on a bench reading Wuthering Heights. Gahh! Damn that old vampire fiction! That's what started the whole vampire accusations towards me. I wanted to approach that book and shred it to pieces. I had nothing against literature, but because of parasite fiction, I was left to pick up the pieces. Damn Dracula. It's your entire fault!

"Oh, hello Vlad. What're you doing down here in broad daylight?" She smirked. I was okay with that. Lucidly, she was joking, yet she knew the entire truth.
"I'm looking for Ana. We need some confrontation to work out our differences," I muttered under my breath.

"The last place I saw her was on the beach with California. I'm not sure if she's still there or not. That's really all I know."

"Thank you, Kayla. I'll look there first, and then go from there." I darted out from the lobby onto the beach. It was vacant, besides the lively ecosystem of animals, bustling like a busy highway. I didn't find a bitchy Hungarian anywhere.

I wandered along the shoreline, looking in many different angles. In the distance, I saw a glimmer of hope. I saw the blonde, non-existent Canada. Maybe he could be more of a help than America.

"Uh, excuse me! Wait a minute!" I hollered towards the glasses-clad Canadian.

He stopped, and spoke in his timid voice. "Yes?"
"Do you happen to know where Budapest is?"

He shook his head unsurely. "She went up to the small café about a mile north of here."

I thanked him, and ran towards the café. It was quaint, and cozy. Something you'd see in a fairytale. I could really see Ana coming here.

Once I opened the entered, I didn't see the brunette. This started to seem like a damn wild goose chase! I wasn't going to search for her much longer.

I exited, and felt snow-like particles hit my face. They turned out to be ashes from an active volcano. The Kilauea, if I'm not mistaken.

Civilians were running, and screaming. I couldn't understand why. The ashes didn't harm anyone. They felt so much like a summer snowfall. Beautiful to look at, probably portrait-worthy. They were gorgeous.

I sped back to the academy, and back to my dorm. And there she was. What the hell. It was just my luck.

"Hello, Vlad. You seem to look healthy as usual."
I couldn't bite her head off with Svalbard here. That would be rude-natured. That isn't something I am. I'm polite, and a bit sneaky. I'll bite her head off when no one is around. That is my plan.

I wanted to check out the magic club. Britain and I were very excited, and that is what we looked forward to. I couldn't blame myself though. School wasn't my major strength.

"Vlad, may I speak with you for a moment?"

That shy, timid voice had nuclear weapons behind it. I didn't believe the kindness that dripped in her voice. It was all so unreal. I wasn't stupid, and I wanted to clarify that.

I met her in behind a wall privately. "What?" I seethed.

"I apologize for harming you in any way. I am not like my sister. I just impulsively thought you were breaking in. I don't hurt people in spite, or because I want to. It isn't in my nature, so I am apologizing."

I knew my face looked foolish, but I was so surprised. SHE asked for forgiveness. I didn't have to rant, or anything. She really was NOTHING like Elizabeta. I felt ashamed to just assume. That really didn't look to good for me.

I insisted that her apology was fine, and went back down to the lobby. Kayla, Veronica and Liam were occupying a bench. They looked like a normal American family. I thought that was quite admirable.

"You find her Vladimir?" Kayla asked me, clutching the fiction book to her chest.

"Da, I did. Our differences are settled. Thank you for your help."
"Did you see those ashes falling out of the sky?" Veronica inquired, a bit riled up.

I nodded, and explained my analogy of snow compared to the ashes. We had a literary discussion of Wuthering Heights as well. Today felt like a complete day, in my opinion.

A/N: I am still accepting OCs peoples. Thanks again for them all. Love yous! :D
