I don't usually do this, but everyone seems to want me to put Andre and Lily together... and well it's kinda putting pressure on me. Sooo... you know how most people are like 'That person stole my story, blah, blah, blah. Don't read it, blah, blah, blah." well I have an idea. If you don't like the way my fanfic turns out then why don't you 'borrow' my story and do a fanfic from my fanfic? That way you can have it your way.
In saying that, Lily does not end up with Mr. Drozdov in the near future. She ends up with someone else in the first part of the story... now you just have to guess who :P

Standing outside the teachers quarters I was more nervous than ever before. My heart was racing uncontrollably as I tried to find a way out of my inevitable doom.
"Rose this is stupid."
She turned to me, her hand on the door to walk inside. "Why?"
It took me a few seconds to think of an answer but one came too me, and it was brilliant. "We've been keeping this a secret from the beginning. Why should we tell someone now? And how do we know if he will keep it?"
Rolling her eyes she grabbed my hand and pulled me in. "I hope you haven't forgotten that I was one of the genius people who taught you how to lie, stall and distract."
"Christian and my dad did too." I sighed, giving in.
"Exactly. So there's nothing you can do to stop this from happening." walking up the stairs she talked while looking at the door numbers. "Jill said he's on the second floor room fourteen."
"Here." I came to a halt outside the door, she had missed it. Though she had been busy talking to me.
"Perfect." she grinned, giving the door a hard rhythmic knock.
A minute later the door opened, revealing Mr. Drozdov. His hair was a mess, his shirt crinkled. He looked so out of place. It was adorable.
Rubbing his eyes he opened the door wider before actually looking at us. "Lily? What are you doing-"
"Hey teach." Rose tapped his shoulder as she walked past him and into the apartment. She looked around, both curious and following guardian protocol.
I still stood outside. When Mr. Drozdov turned to me, I swear my nerves multiplied. He looked so real. I mean, in class he's put together, dressed professionally with ties and button shirts. But seeing him now in a plain white shirt and grey slacks. Well lets just say my crush seemed to grow like my nerves.
"Students aren't allowed in teacher's apartments." he told me, voice sorry and confused.
"Actually." Rose stood beside him, hands on hips. "Jill- Headmistress Dragomir sent us here. She also gave Lily permission to be here." she gestured for me to come in. Letting Rose take over, Mr. Drozdov step aside so I could come in.
We stood in a simple living room. WHite walls, polished floor boards. Book shelf, couch, coffee table and Television. Rose flopped down onto one of the couches, as if it was a friend's house. While I continued to stand in the middle of the room awkwardly.
"Not to be rude or anything, but why are you here. And who are you?" he gestured to Rose.
"Really?" she looked at him surprised and slightly offended. "You have no idea who I am? Are you kidding me?" he shrugged. "I'm Rose Hathaway. The queen's guardian."
Nodding slowly he answered. "Oh... so why are you in my apartment with one of my students?"
Rose sat up straight now. Her carefree attitude gone. She was all guardian now. "We need your help. But before you can know any details we have to be sure that you know how important it is for no one to know about what you're about to find out."
The tone from Rose seemed to snap Mr. Drozdov into realising how serious this must be. "I understand."
With a quick look at me, she continued. "Lily was in hospital again last night."
Wide eyes he turned to me. "Are you okay?" taking a few steps so he could stand right by me. "What happened."
"That's why we're here. See Lily has a witch slash ex-Alchemist mum and spirit dad. SO we need you-"
"Because she's a spirit user as well." he finished her sentence.
My jaw must have hit the ground, I was that shocked. "You knew this whole time."
Smiling he nodded. "Aura's tell everything. I guess your bright golden aura was a dead give away." I couldn't help but blush. He stood so close to me, smiling like that. I had never seen his eyes so bright.
"Excuse me." We had forgotten Rose was in the room with us- which is a pretty impossible thing to do. "So you knew this whole time and never said a word? Never asked questions? Never once, thought about offering your help?"
Looking up at Mr Drozdov, it all seemed to fall into place."That's why you knew where I was the other night. You were keeping an eye on me."
In class when he first saw me, he would have seen that I'm a dhampir but the aura would have confused him. Then he learnt wo I was and who my parents are. The library is by the teachers apartments, and I had been walking past them when the calling began.
He simply nodded.
"Yet you never thought of helping her?" Rose was getting worked up. "She was in the infirmary. She was hurt. Did you ever think that you could prevent that from happening?"
"Yes." he snapped, leaving Rose speechless and wide-eyed. "When she woke up in he infirmary the first night, I was sitting there with her. I had been there all night watching her aura. It was so strange, and I knew that she needed help. I know she needs help.
"It's not just because it's spirit. She's the first ever dhampir with any sort of magic. There's no one like her... it's going to be so hard." sighing he took a seat on the other coach. "I don't know if I can help her."
Silence.
It was thick and heavy, leaving the room feeling hot and uncomfortable. I could feel my heart beating as the silence grew, my breath coming out quicker. The air was thin, at least I thought it was.
Rose's head snapped up in my direction. "Lily." she rushed to my side as my panic attack continued to get worse. I couldn't breathe, my body was shaking as I stood there. "Lily breath. Deep breathes girl, come on."
Trying my hardest I just couldn't calm down. "I'm going to die." I sobbed, clutching my chest. I could feel myself begin to sweat, even Rose was sweating.
"No you're not. You're going to be fine." Rose brushed my hair behind my ear, her face full of worry. "You need to breathe Lily. You need to calm down."
"Rose step aside." Mr. Drozdov was behind her. Without question Rose moved letting him stand in front of me. "Lily." he held my face in his hands, our eyes locked. There was a rush of warmth from his hands surging into me. You're going to be fine. You're going to be safe. You're going to calm down. His voice echoed in my head.
Nodding I could feel my breath calming. Slowly my heart beat slowed to a normal rate as my panic attack ended.
"Are you okay?" his eyes searched mine.
"What was that?" was all I could say.
His thumbs wiped tears from my cheeks as his hands still held my face. "I'll explain later. I just want to know if you're okay." I gave a quick nod and he smiled. "Good."
"Will you help her, please?" looking at Rose you could see she wasn't asking as a guardian any more. Not even as a dhampir or friend. She was asking as family. Her concern for me stronger than before.
"Yes. I'll help."
Letting a small smile form on my lips I said, "So when can you start?"
APOV
"Hey Andre."
I was sitting by myself at a table in the commons. Ivy was at the gym and Dylan... well I didn't care where he was. So when one of the other dhampirs came up to me I was more then a little confused.
"What's up?"
He sat down by me, a curious and excited look in his eyes. "Did you hear the news?"
"What?" I sighed getting impatient.
"Lily was in the infirmary again, and apparently she had her own guardian because she's so messed up. I heard Dylan jumped her outside of the feeders building last night. She had no idea he was there, so he got her pretty bad."
"What!?" I was on my feet in an instant. "Where is she? Is she okay?"
He shrugged. "Dunno man." I had enough of listening, I wanted to go find her. But his next words stopped me. "But I know where Dylan is."
"Where?"
Uh-oh, see what happens when you spread rumours?
I wonder what's going to happen with Lily. I hope she'll be okay. And what about Andre and Dylan? What's gonna happen there?
Well I hope you enjoyed, don't forget to review :):)
Love and miss you all xox
