Return To Academy

Christian's POV

"Rose we need to move!" I snapped.

"I know," Rose said rushing to Dimitri's side she grabbed his arm and slung them around her shoulders. "Let's move, you two must stay extraordinarily close if one of those things jumps out Lissa you stand over Dimitri and Christian you and I will fight it, understand?" Rose had really taken on the role of a guardian. I loved that she was considering me a real alley in her fight and trusted me enough to put me in charge of something. "Also," Rose added as we all prepared to leave all clutching some form of weapon. "If you get the green crap on you do not hide it or feel embarrassed tell me immediately because it must be washed off instantly."

Lissa and I both nodded and we followed Rose in a rush out of the cabin. "Rose where are we going?" I asked.

"Back onto academy grounds," she whispered back to me.

"Why?" I asked almost stalling but continuing as not to alarm Rose.

"We were safer there than out in the open, we were the only targets in that cabin and we need to get back, besides I feel bad about abandoning Eddie," Rose said looking down. She grunted under Dimitri's weight and I ran up alongside her taking his other arm.

"Let me help you," I said looking at the stubborn girl. She nodded and Lissa moved in front of us so we could both see her.

Amazingly we ran into nothing while going to academy grounds but as soon as Lissa broke through the thicket of trees she collapsed and screamed. Rose instantly gave me all of Dimitri's weight and ran to Lissa. I assumed nothing was too wrong since Rose merely stood next to Lissa still as a board.

I came up alongside the two girls and gasped as I saw what they had already absorbed. Not necessarily coving the grounds but covering enough of it were bodies. Every door was open now and it seemed like everyone who had exited had been eliminated quickly. Rose had grabbed Lissa who had lunged for the body closest to her trying to reanimate it.

I stood with Dimitri who suddenly stirred. Rose kept ahold on Lissa but rushed to Dimitri. She gave me Lissa and she herself lowered Dimitri to the floor and helped him come to consciousness.

"Do you think he'll be ok?" Lissa asked me.

"I think so," I felt her worry radiate to me. It was still so weird to be in her head I mean she was my girlfriend and I wanted to give her privacy but it was impossible to give it to her with this new connection.

"I'm so tiered Christian, I just want to sleep and I want to be normal," Lissa said hugging me tightly sobbing. "So many people are dying," she said shaking her head into my shoulder.

"I know honey I'm sorry," I said kissing her head.

Suddenly in a flash faster than I would have thought possible Dimitri was standing and his stake was extended. Both Lissa and I looked behind us and saw his stake through a monster's head.

"H-how did you do that?" Lissa stuttered.

"I'm not sure," Dimitri said lowering his stake and then cleaning it on the grass.

"It's like you gained super speed," I said.

"Maybe he did?" Rose joked.

"We'll have to wait and see," he mused and looked across campus. "What on earth happened?"

"We aren't too sure," Rose replied.

AN: Ok I'd really like to see some guesses for who the boss is I'm thinking about revealing it either in the next chapter or the one after it.
