Natasia: Inu is really getting into the second book. She started yesterday and she's almost done reading it. Isn't that something?

Me: For me yes it is. For you not a surprise. Well chapter three is kinda short, but I hope you still like it.

Natasia: Just like chapter two, not much to say. Enjoy!


Chapter three: Surprise Attack!

After returning into the gym where Eeep and Lissa were, a sudden jolt of fear sang through the bond Eeep and I had. I ran to her, while Rose ran to Lissa. Lissa and Eeep could hear something, something that neither Rose nor I could hear. Rose though was able to sense the terrible aura surrounding the area. It wasn't safe; we had to get out of there as soon as possible. "Neep! Get Eeep out of here. Lissa come with me!" Rose yelled.

I had to act quickly. I picked up Eeep into my arms and I started to run. It was tough on my legs considering I had just finished running three miles. I felt like I was going to stagger and fall, but as I looked at Eeep and her frightened expression I knew I had to protect her and get her out of there. "Help someone! It-it's…" My voice trailed off. This couldn't be happening. How could they have gotten through the wards!? It just didn't make any sense! "It's a Strigoi attack!"

I turned to see Rose and Lissa running right next to us. Rose had issued the call, and the alarm went off. Guardians came rushing at every corner, scanning the area and looking for the Strigoi that had infiltrated the academy. I estimated that there were about seven Strigoi in the academy. All Moroi were issued to stay in their dorms, there were Guardians in every dorm room. Apparently we had been forgotten about considering we were still standing in the middle of the walkway, Lissa, Rose, Eeep and I. That was until we heard someone with a Russian accent yelling for us to get back to the dorm. I looked up from my panic and saw Guardian Belikov. He grabbed my arm and Rose's arm and started dragging us to the dorm.

We arrived inside the dorm rather quickly. He took all four of us and shoved us into mine and Eeep's dorm room. Dimitri stayed with us, alert and ready as ever. I was lost in my thoughts. This is really happening. We're being attacked by Strigoi…What the hell am I doing acting like a little kid!? I have to get my head in this and help protect Eeep. I snapped out of my thoughts quickly and looked at the girl that I so long wanted to protect. She was terrified. I could tell through the bond and from how she was clinging onto my dress shirt. I took a hold of her hand and told her not to worry. That the Strigoi wouldn't get her, that I'd protect her. "Oh Neep thank you!" She exclaimed wrapping her arms fully around my body. She was shaking, I was too. We were both terrified, but I had to stay strong.

"Guardian Belikov, will you allow me to escort two other novices and two other Moroi into this room?" I looked at the man that stood alertly in front of the open door. He thought of it as reckless, but these were my friends and I wasn't about to abandon them. After pleading for what seemed around eight minutes, he finally gave into my demands. Rose though thought that this seemed to be a very interesting turn of events. Just as I was about to dash out the door, Rose grabbed my arm and gave me a look that said "be careful". I nodded in response to her concerned look. Turning my head to Eeep, I gave her a reassuring look that I would come back with others safely.

I ran out the door and down the hall to where the others were. It only took five minutes till I was already running into the room they were in. The Guardians that had been standing in the room were shocked to see me there. "Guardian Belikov has sent me to escort these two novices and Moroi up to where Miss Dragomir and Miss Hathaway are!" I proclaimed to them. The two Guardians that stood there just looked at me at first. They finally came to their senses and allowed me to let my friends leave with me. We all stayed alert when we headed down the hall back to where I had left Eeep, Lissa and Rose.

"Can you believe this is happening!?" Meep said franticly. Telling from their faces', these four were shocked too. To think that I was out in the open when it started…we were out in the open when it started. I was too panicked to answer the question. I just wanted to get back to the room as quickly as possible. And just like that we were already pilling into the room. The five of us returned to where Eeep, Rose and Lissa were. Rose gave me a big smile. I was confused though, of all the times she could smile, she chose now? While we were being attacked by Strigoi? It just didn't make sense, that was until she came up to me and slapped me on the back. I was still confused.

"That's the determination I like about you Neep! Even though you placed yourself in danger, you pushed that all aside to protect your friends! Good job there!" Rose said slapping my back once more, twice as hard as the first slap. I didn't deserve to be praised by Rose. What I did was stupid and crazy, but she was right. I'd do anything to protect my friends. Even if it meant costing my own life to protect them. "What she did was reckless and inexcusable. But that's what I'd expect for you to like in her isn't it Roza? She reminds you of yourself doesn't she?"

I turned my head to who said that. It was Guardian Belikov who spoke up.

"Well of course! Her recklessness and determination is the entire reason why I want to be her tutor." Rose smirked at the tall man. All he could do was chuckle. Me like Rose? That's what came to me as the biggest shocker. How I was like Rose I would soon find out.


Me: Well there's chapter three. Short I know. I'm writing this at 5:54am so I'm kinda trying not to fall asleep while writing this.

Natasia: Honestly you need to take a break once in a while.

Me: I do take breaks. Month long breaks. XP

Natasia: True.

Me: Hope you liked it. Until next time bye!
