Chapter 9

CPOV

I didn't think Rose was really going to try to guard me. I thought she was going to be too pissed a Kirova to even think about guarding me. But I guess I was wrong about her because when the first test broke out she shoved me behind her and beat whoever the teacher was down to the ground tripping him and with ease staking him with the blunt wooden stake.

A much bruised Stan sat up and smiled at Rose "Good job Hathaway." Rose nodded, "Are you hurt? I think I broke your ribs…" Stan laughed and nodded "I'll be fine, thanks Rose." After that Rose didn't say anything to me until we got to the lunch room. "How are you doing kid?" I looked at her and she laughed, I thought she hated me but her light heartedness gave me some hope. "I'm fine just a little shaken, what about you? You gave Stan quite the beating." She laughed and I was really starting to enjoy her, I could finally see why Lisa liked her so much.

"Miss me?" Ew it was Jesse, I couldn't stand him but I had to stay with Rose so I would have to deal with this. "Go away jess I don't need your little boy games. I actually have goals in life, and what do you have?" Rose's snarky self was bound to get her in trouble one day but for now I was grateful. "Better watch it I could make it so you don't get Lisa for a charge, you could be stuck with me." That made me laugh making Jesse turn his cold eyes on me. "You better watch out too."

That's when the second test broke out. Rose shoved me and Jesse to the side, "Mason cover my back." Lissa was in the room so Mason was too. There were two stragoi and three charges but Jesse's guardian was nowhere to be found. Rose kicked out the legs of one of the teachers in disguise while Mason punched the other in the face taking a more direct approach.

In moments they were both on the floor and Rose and Mason were breathing heavily, the two teachers took off not staying to talk. I found that odd until I saw one dripping blood on the floor. Maybe they would stop attacking Rose and I now.

I couldn't help kicking people's asses. It was in my blood I had fought real stragoi and my fighting instincts were heightened from protecting my small slice of Dimitri. When I saw blood coming from one of the teachers I panicked I started hyperventilating weird for me but I soon got it under control feeling spirit coming over me.

I looked behind me and there was Lissa, Jesse had gone and Christian was giving us some space to ourselves. "Rose, you need to relax a bit your aura is flickering and not in a good way, the gold aura around your stomach isn't looking great." I knew she was talking about my baby, he wasn't doing well? I needed to sit down.

"What do you mean Liss? He has to be doing fine I can't live without him." "Then you need to take it a little easier, he isn't doing well with all the physical work your body is doing."

I had an idea and Lissa must have caught on. "We should go to a spa after all this and let's do our nails." I nodded excitedly. "After trials are over definitely."

I had to help Rose get through her trials I may be dead but that wouldn't stop me. It would only make me try harder to help the one that I love I knew what I had to do.

I chuckled at the scene he had been dreaming of, it was a beach and a house that was too fancy for anyone to actually live in. I felt him stiffen when he knew who was in his dream.

"Why are you still here it should be impossible." I chuckled and looked around, "You off all people should know me and Rose don't fit into the category of possible." He nodded knowing I was right and at this point he didn't seem enthused. "So, what do you want then?"

I sighed looking him in the eye "I want to make the baby immortal in a sense. So that I can be with her forever." I knew I could be sent into the baby if a soul hadn't been selected for it yet and if possible I wanted to be there for her.

"Is that why the baby isn't faring well? He doesn't have a soul yet?" I nodded Adrian was smart and I gave him credit. "Yes and if in the next few days a soul hasn't been selected she will lose it." He sighed and looked up at the sky. "So how can we do this? I don't know how to send souls places that's a reapers job." "We are going to have to figure it out."

Sorry for the short chapter there's more to come but I have had major writers block.
