Chapter 4: Hallucinations?

It began like other Tuesday, after breakfast I went to guardian class with Stan. I wasn't paying much attention like usually, of course Stan was pissed off and began a huge bitch session. It covered the typical stuff up, such as irresponsibility and incompetence.

When Stan had finished he just went back to his lessons, I could practically feel Dimitri's look on my back. As inconspicuous as possible I turned towards him, he had his guardian face on but his eyes seemed like they were telling me that he was sorry. Sighing I turned back to my table and began to draw some stuff on my pad, when I heard a voice on my right sight. "So, you are still alive that's interesting."

Slowly I turned my head towards the voice, the coated man stood there, merely 5 feet away. Faster than I had ever saw anything move he sprang towards me and I couldn't help but scream.

"Miss Hathaway, if you want to sleep please don't do it in my lessons." Stan yelled at me. And again, to calm myself down, I kept repeating to myself: "It was just a dream" But was it?

"Great, Hathaway has gone insane now." The comment was accompanied by a lot of laughter. I tried to stand up to go away but when I stood straight everything went black.

"What do you think happened in the class room?" I heard Dimitri ask someone. "I'm not sure but I'll do some new checkups and tell you then alright?" Dr. Olenski replied; slowly I opened my eyes. I was lying in a hospital bed. "Ah, Miss Hathaway! Good to see you are awake. How are you feeling?"

"I'm alright, I guess." She nodded and wrote some things in my record. "I'll go and check your blood tests, please call if there are any problems."

When the door had closed behind her, Dimitri immediately came to my bed and pulled me into a hug. "Roza, what happened in the classroom?" Oh, he was worried, really worried. "I'm not quite sure, but everything is okay now, you don't have to worry comrade."

He stared into my eyes for a long time, trying to find a meaning in my words, but gave up fast. "Good, today evening is the molinja ceremony" Suddenly I felt all exciting and the next moment ashamed, the molinjas weren't something to be excited about. These molinjas had had a high prize, Mason had given his life.

Dr. Olenski decided to annoy me and therefore keep me locked up in the hospital wing until it was time for ceremony. She did some test but I just let her do whatever she want, she would do it either way. At 10pm Dimitri came and brought me a black dress and some of my make-up.

The ceremony took place in the catacombs of the academy's main building, Lissa and I had once sneaked here in one of our early years. Back then it had only been a place where once people had been tortured and strigoi had been held prisoners but now the room had been changed completely. Most guardians had come together and wore their official guardian clothes. The room was decorated with red silk curtains and blue burning torches. With shaking legs I sat down on the chair and got my first tattoos. After this session, every guardian came to great me, Alberta smiled and hugged me, to my own surprise Stan told me that he always had known I would be one of the best, and Dimitri just held me in his arms and whispered in my ear: "I love you" and walked away.

My mum had left the academy straight after the incident to guard her moroi, so she wasn't there. It upset me, I thought our relationship had gone better but I must have been wrong. Somehow I just blended out my twisted feeling towards my mother.

After some time the room began to empty, still I sat down at a wall in the back of the hall. I needed to think; what happened today in the class was not normal!

"Little dhamphir!" Speaking of not normal, there he was an insane smoking alcoholic. "I thought you would still be here." I looked towards him he stood right before me and smiled down at me, and then sat down. "So, I heard from your little breakdown in Stan's class. You want to talk about it?"

He saw my reticence and immediately told me that I wouldn't have to tell him if I didn't want to. But I did! I did want to talk about it. "Last night, when I tried to sleep, it was only for half an hour. And this dream ... nightmare ... it just" I paused for a moment, trying to find the right words. "It was just so real. I woke up in a church like room and was chained to an altar. Then some creepy man came and stabbed me. And today, in Stan's class, suddenly this man appeared next to me and attacked me again."

I hugged him, in that moment I wish I could talk with Dimitri about it, but I knew he would be way too worried about me and he already had a hard time lately. "Do you have an idea what happened?"

"Well, either I'm going insane or my dreams come to life." I laughed bitterly but Adrian had a thoughtful look on his face. "When was the last time you really slept?" I thought about it, since Mason's death I hadn't really slept and if it had always been a nightmare. "Since Mason's death only some minuets, I guess."

"I think I know what happened in class with you?" I looked up at him, I really hadn't expected Adrian to have the answers to my questions. "You do?" – "Yes after so many hours without sleep the body begins to react, like with hallucinations or with falling asleep momentarily, I think that's what happened with you."

"Do you have any idea what I can do to prevent nightmares or this momentarily sleep?"

"We'll find a way."

That's it for today. I like it, although Dimitri doesn't play a main part in it, but Adrian is really cute here, isn't he?
