Yay! Another update and I do think by now it's obvious that
none of us own VA right? XD
(Reyna)
Somehow the novices and the moroi students of the freshmen class managed to fit on one bus. It was kind of cool actually. Two weeks, six guardians and 4 moroi teachers to keep track of about 40 plus students. Yep this was going to be a fun two weeks. I laid my head in Vlad's lap as I read a book. I loved scyfy and mystery. Vlad loves his video games though.
"What's the book about?" Vladimir asked me. I paused and looked up at him through my charmed glasses to make my eyes look they were a rich milk chocolate brown.
"Clones being used for body parts." I replied smiling softly. He chuckled.
"I heard your dad loves his westerns. It's amazing how you chose something completely opposite." he said leaning in and kissing the tip of my nose.
"Eww! Guardian Petrov! The strigoi and the magic less freak are kissing." Richard said standing in mock disgust.
"Mr. Zelkos if you insist on making rude comments than you may move. Belikov, sit up straight please." Alberta said. I grumbled and did so glaring at Richard. He just had a smug look on his face as he sat down. This was going to be a tough couple weeks if he was going to do this to us. During the day we novices would be working on tracking and things like that, basically what humans would learn in hunting programs.
I sighed and laid my head on Vladimir's shoulder. As my own weird sleep schedule started taking over. I never slept a full eight hours maybe about half that nowadays. Soon something seemed to overtake me. It was a dream yes but it wasn't normal. Great grandma could do it too when I had told her about my dream about us visiting her, grandma, my aunts and my cousins. This was one of those times but it was flashes of images. I heard it though, screeching tires, breaking glass, excruciating pain and screams. The last thing I saw was bright red ringed eyes. I bolted up from Vlad's lap where he apparently had let my head fall. I gasped breathing hard, my hands feeling clammy as I noticed I was sweating. I also noticed everyone was staring at me those that hd probably been near me and sleeping. The window shades had been pulled down by now cause of the rising sun.
"Back to sleep all of you!" Alberta snapped at as she walked over looking at me in concern. I licked my lips my mouth and throat feeling dry. "What was that all about Reyna?" she asked. She only used first names if she was worried.
"N-Nothing, just a bad dream." I replied evenly.
"What about?" Richard butted in.
"Spiders." I said glaring at him. He paled obviously having been told the story about his dad being forced to see spiders when he pissed off Aunt Lissa. I smirked lightly before rubbing my throat. I swallowed. Alberta knew the sign and left to go talk to the driver obviously.
"Okay, students. We're gonna be taking a stop. Any moroi student who is hungry raise your hand." she said. About half of them and their case hungry meant they needed blood. Under the school bus was quite a few giant coolers. Well, four to be exact. Two held blood bags since they couldn't bring feeders on a school trip like this and the other two held real food for us damphirs.
The bus made a stop at a rest area that was empty. Any humans were probably already gone and hopefully none would show up. They all got off the bus needing fresh air. Alberta kept me on the bus for a moment so I could get some blood. None of the students were supposed to know save for Kaleb, Melrose and Vlad who found out by accident. Kaleb and Melrose stayed at the school since they were a year younger than me. I got off the bus after eating and wandered around. I loved the sun, it was a really great thing. Mom would say I got that from her since she loved being in the sun as well. I smiled to myself at the thought.
"Hey." Vlad said hugging me from behind. I jumped slightly.
"Don't do that, I was thinking." I said lightly elbowing him in the stomach. He chuckled as he put his chin on my shoulder.
"Sorry, I just thought you need some company while you did your sun worship." he told me. I smiled happily. Vlad really was a nice guy. Being abandoned by his parents and raised at an academy. Only to find out that he'll never be able to use magic. I think if anyone else had been him, they'd hate the world for their life. Not him. He went to church kind of making me go with him. He trained hard so he wouldn't be seen as weak. Hell, he was a better fighter than I was.
"Well, I guess I could use some." I said with the smile still there.
"Seriously, don't you have any respect for yourself Vladimir?" Feria, a female moroi, asked. I glared at her since Vlad had chosen to date me. She, Richard and a few others wanted to make my life a living hell for it. Feria above them since I think she wanted to date Vlad but he kind of made it clear he didn't like preppy bitches. She thinks I stole what was "hers" to begin with.
"Sure I do Feria, enough respect for myself to not date the school slut that's fucking Richard." he stated. I glanced at Vlad very proud of him for using such language. Feria glared at me though like his attitude was my fault. I just smiled brightly at her.
"What can I say? I rubbed off on him." I told her with a shrug as I laced my fingers in his and got back on the bus with the other novices.
"You are a horrible person." he stated as we sat down.
"I'm not the one who called her a slut." I retorted quietly as everyone started back onto the bus. The rest of the bus ride was uneventful until we got to Yellowstone. The moroi were looking out the windows practically gawking at the humans.
"And they say we need real- really Vlad?!" I said as he gawked at some human girls that waved at the bus. I hit him on the arm with my book. He jumped now looking at me.
"I swear I wasn't oogling." he said pleadingly as I glared at him.
"Right." I said leaning back in my seat getting the feeling this was going to be the start of a very 'fun' two weeks. If that, I could see me getting sent home within the week for hitting Feria. The bus continued on turning down a beaten up road that lead to an old looking rundown cabin. Old looking, yes. Inside was probably set up like a five star resort. I noticed backpacks sitting along the cabin's side. There was enough for every novice.
'Aw, man- here I was hoping for indoor sleeping.' I thought. The bus came to a stop and Alberta was up telling us, the novices, to get ready for some hiking. Stupid moroi get to practice magic and whatever else while we have to hike twenty miles or something like that. During the day and try to sleep at night. I was right, this was going to be a long two weeks.
Good? Bad? Review please!
