I don't own the Vampire Academy, or any of its characters.


No guardians have come to get me, yet that is. Yesterday everyone was worried they would, even Andrea and she hardly knows me. I was going to her house right now; she gave me the directions, even though it wouldn't have been so hard to find since she lives in the Court. I got there and a boy answered the door. He looked like Andrea so I suppose he's her brother. He looked taller than her though. He also had black hair, but his seemed thicker. But instead of looking sad like Andrea, you couldn't tell what he was feeling. "Is Andrea here?" I ask after a moment of awkward silence.

He looked at me strange, rolled his eyes, and then said, "Umm . . . yeah, hold on." he didn't even invite me in, and it was cold outside, he just closed the freaken door! Then Andrea opened it with her usual sad smile.

"Oh, hey, you want to come in? It's freezing outside! That was my brother Abel. Sorry he didn't introduce himself, he's not very good with strangers." she said, I just nodded. Today she was wearing pajamas with the pattern of frogs and another black sweat shirt. She had her hair down, but it wasn't straight. It was natural. She had a bandage on her left index finger and her right wrist.

"What happened to you?" I couldn't stop from asking, curiosity had gotten the best of me.

She smiled and then said, "My sister scratched me, she has nails like a cat." She said, laughed, and then showed me the scratches. The one on her index finger was small still red, it still didn't have a scab. The one on her wrist looked like a happy face! How can you do that with your nail? She must have noticed my confusion because she then said, "No, I didn't do it. I don't know how she scratched me to make it look like that." I then looked around her living room. The walls were pale blue, the couch was midnight blue, and there was a TV by the door. The coffee table was glass, there picture frames on the walls. How long has she lived here? I didn't even see boxes from unpacking. Andrea then took me to her room. From what she had on yesterday I'd expect black walls, a black bed comforter. Well I'd expect everything black, let's say that. But when I walked in I was really wrong. Her walls were a pale purple, the bed comforter was pink and purple with peace signs, there was a small book shelf filled with books. Her TV was on a drawer, next to that was a glass desk. And then another drawer with a mirror, along the mirror was some photos and paper hearts. This was nothing to what I thought it'd be like. I thought it was going to be messy, but it was really clean.

"You said you had a sister, does she live here?" I sat on the corner of her bed and sat on her desk chair.

"No, she lives with her boyfriend." Does that mean she's not a guardian? Or is she his guardian?

"Is she his guardian?"

"No, he's human. She didn't want to live the life like a vampire."

"Oh, do you want to become a guardian?" I ask hoping she does.

"Yeah, that's what I've been training for my whole life isn't it?" she laughed and I just nodded.

"Where are Dimitri and Christian? Aren't you guys like the 'three musketeers' or something?" she teased, and I laughed.

"I don't know, but they were together when they left. I can't be with them all the time." well I could be with Dimitri all the time and not get tired of him if things were like before in the academy. Then I heard a short ring, I had that ringtone in my phone! I checked it, but nothing. I looked at Andrea and she was texting, she had a 'Palm Pixi' too! But hers had a cute case. I was going to tell her that, but her brother came in, I think Abel was his name?

"Guardians have come, they want you to go with them." He says to me, and then leaves.

"Crap, hey at least we stalled them for a while." I said trying to make a joke out of all of this. Andrea just gave me another one of her sad smiles. Now I really want to know why she's so sad. I would ask, but guards are here and if I take too long they'll probably come and get me. "Well I better go." I than heard that ring again, of course, Andrea's phone!

"Okay, don't do anything stupid." She says, and I leave laughing. The guardians stay very close to me, maybe because I knocked out the two other guardians? I get to where Tatiana is, it's the same seen as the first time, and maybe more guardians will follow me around this time?

"Miss Hathaway, you attacked Princess Vasilissa for the second time! We are going to interrogate Mr. Dimitri Belikov and if he confirms what Princess Vasilissa has said happened. You will go to jail!" What? That freaken slut! Obviously she is going to compel Dimitri! Then I'm going to go to jail! Stupid tramp and her stupid compulsion! One of the guardians is told to go get Dimitri. In a couple of minutes I will go to jail. Dimitri then comes in and sits down next to me. "Mr. Belikov, tell me exactly what happened." Tatiana says.

"Well, Princess Vasilissa compelled me. She made Rose's guardians attack her and then take her to a room and torture her . .. The other time I came to explain what happened, Princess Vasilissa compelled me to lie! She has been compelling everyone to do what she wants, your majesty!" what shocked me the most was that Dimitri has been looking Lissa straight in her eyes and nothing! She seems to be trying to compel him, but . . . she can't!

"Princess Vasilissa! How could you use spirit in that way? You do know that is breaking the law!" I saw Lissa; I knew she was going to compel her.

"Your majesty, close your eye, Lissa's going to compel you!" she did it as soon as I said it, and the guards carried Lissa away. She's not strong, but her compulsion was strong. One of them had his hands on her eyes.

"Miss Hathaway, I want to . . . apolo-apologize for not believing you. I will make sure Princess Vasilissa is taken care of." Tatiana actually apologized? And to me? Wow, this shocking.

"I accept your apology . . . your majesty." Dimitri and I then leave; we were headed toward my room. Outside my door was Andrea, she was texting again.

"Did it work?" she asked Dimitri when she saw us.

"Yes it did, thank you." he said while taking off a necklace that he had under his shirt and handing it to Andrea. I barely noticed it; it was silver with a heart with the letters A and W.

"What's that?"

"A necklace, my father charmed it so no one can compel me. I thought it'd be a good idea to have Dimitri wear it, so Lissa wouldn't be able to compel him."

"Aw, thanks. If it weren't for you, I'd be in jail right now."

"Are you serious? They were going to do that? What did they do to Lissa?" Andrea asks.

"I don't know, the queen just said she'd make sure she's 'taken care of her.'"

"Strange, but whatever." Andrea then went back to texting.

"Who are you always texting?" I ask, and she blushes and smiles, not a sad, small smile but a real, happy one!

"Umm . . . no one, just my friend. From where I used to live." Even though she blushed, she sounded like she was telling the truth. Maybe she was just a good liar?

"Is it . . . a boy friend?" I then laugh and she blushes even more.

"No. He's just a friend." She says sadly.

"But you love him?" and then her expression hardens.

"No I don't love him, I don't believe in 'love.'" She has maybe been hurt or she has never loved someone.

"So . . . you have a crush on him!" I say knowing it's true.

"Unfortunately . . . yes." She says, I then notice Dimitri has been quiet this whole time. Well this must be a very boring conversation to him.

"Where's Christian?" I ask, wanting to change the subject.

"In his room, I guess. That's the last place I saw him.

"Oh." I then notice we were still outside. So I unlock my door and walk in.

"Well I just wanted to make sure everything worked out I'll see you guys later." Andrea says, Dimitri came in with me though. We haven't really had time alone. Well we still aren't together. I just w— Dimitri started kissing me out of sudden, I kissed him back.

"I love you, Roza." He said against my lips.

"I love you too, Comrade." I say and then the kiss becomes more than just a kiss, Dimitri starts pulling me toward the bed, but a knock interrupted us. We were going to ignore it, but it sounded urgent. I opened it to see . . . Christian looking worried. "What is it Christian?"

"Lissa got away from the guards; no one knows where she's at." He says, how long have Dimitri and I been in here? And then added, "Someone helped her escaped." I then gasped, Andrea! That's why she left! She has lied to us this whole time!
