Alright here it is, the final chapter of Mia's side of the story.

I know I was saying I was going to try and write two, but sadly there just isn't enough in the end of the book to make it two chapters. I was thinking about working on doing Frostbite through the Eyes of Mia Rinaldi but I want to know what everyone thought about that first. Leave me a review or send me a PM and tell me what you think!

Thanks again! I hope you have enjoyed my story!

Please Review!

By the night of the dance I had decided that I was just going to go straight up to Lissa at the dance and confront her. Abby came over and helped me get ready. I had decided on wearing a teal dress that flowed carefully around my knees. It had a sweetheart neckline that gave me the illusion of curves. Abby did my make-up and we walked together to the dance.

The music was playing loudly as we made our way to the commons. The dance committee had decorated the room with white Christmas lights and a disco ball. It was tacky but at least it was a party. There were a few people dancing but it was mainly the underclassmen. Most of us were just going to hang around long enough to make an appearance and then go to an after-party.

I was actually having a good time when one of the novices came up to me.

"Hi, Mia."

"Hi. Do I know you?"

"I'm Anthony, one of the senior novices."

"What can I help you with, Anthony?"

He chuckled and leaned down to whisper in my ear. "I heard that if I'm ever lonely I should come and see you."

"I think you have heard wrong."

He shrugged and walked off.

"What was that about?" Abby asked.

"I have no idea."

A few more guys came up suggesting things and I noticed that Jesse and Ralf were hiding in the shadows. When they saw me looking at them, they turned away. They must have told someone what happened.

"I'll be back Abby. I need to go have a word with someone."

I turned and walked straight to Lissa. Aaron was at her side and came to stand in front of her. "Mia, you need to leave."

"No, Aaron. You need to leave. You are no better than any of the rest of the royals. Don't worry though I have plenty of things to say to you, too. But right now she is the person I need to talk to."

"Mia-" Lissa started.

"Don't even start with me. You leave for two years and come back thinking that you can still run this school. Well I'm not going to let that happen. It's not my fault that you ran away. I will not go down by myself. I am not going to forget about you and your slutty friend! I'm going to tell everyone what a psycho you are and how they had to lock you in the clinic because you're so crazy. They're putting you on medication. That's why you and Rose left before anyone else could find out you cut yourself!"

I felt someone grab me and pull me away. "Hey," Rose said. "Slutty friend here. Remember what I said about standing too close to her?"

I snarled, baring my fangs. Just as I was about to lunge at her she punched me. And it fucking hurt. I heard the bones in my nose break as I fell backwards. I heard some girls screaming around me and watched as Rose jumped on top of me to hit me again. Luckily before she got in another hit someone pulled her off me.

I stood up with the help of one of the school's guardians. He handed me a couple tissues and I held them to my nose. Kirova was yelling, trying to get some order back in the gym. I stood there glaring at Rose's back as she was removed from the gym.

"Ms. Rinaldi?"

"Headmistress."

"You need to go to the clinic, I will talk to you later about what happened." She motioned to one of the guardians to help me to the clinic.

"Why would you piss Rose Hathaway off?" he asked when we were alone.

"I'm not afraid of her. She needs to realize that not everything is able to be fixed with violence." I snapped.

He didn't say anything else as we walked. I went in and said down in a chair while I waited for Dr. Olendzki to come in. She was pulling her white coat on as she walked through the door.

"What happened Ms. Rinaldi?"

"That psycho bitch, Rose Hathaway, punched me in the nose. I'm pretty sure it is broken." I didn't mean to cuss in front of her but I was so angry.

"Let me see." I moved my hand. "Yes it does look broken."

"Great."

"Don't worry, it isn't that bad. You probably won't even really be able to tell it was broken when it heals."

She handed me an ice pack and gave me some pain killers. The guardian walked me to Kirova's office and had me wait. The pain killers were starting to work and I could feel my eyes starting to get heavy when I was finally called in.

"Take a seat, Ms. Rinaldi." I quickly sat down. "Now why did we have to pull Ms. Hathaway off of you?"

"Headmistress, I didn't do anything to Rose. I was talking to Lissa and she attacked me. There was nothing that was any of Rose's business going on."

"She and the Princess are best friends."

"They haven't been speaking for a while. What is going to happen to Rose?"

"She will most likely be expelled from this academy." I smiled internally. After everything I was still going to win.

"Headmistress, I am sorry to interrupt but you need to come with me."

I looked up to see Guardian Petrov standing in the doorway. "You are excused Ms. Rinaldi."

I got up and headed back to my dorm. I could see a guardian carrying who looked to be like Christian Ozera to the clinic. He seemed to have passed out. Maybe Rose attacked him, too. Everyone knows how much she hates him. There were a lot of guardians running to their building and I wondered what was going on. Something was wrong but I was too tired to worry about it right now.

I crawled into bed, not even bothering to change, I was just that tired. I heard someone shouting in the hallway as I fell asleep. It sounded like they had said that the Princess had been taken. As much as I wanted to ask what they were talking about I couldn't fight off the blanket of sleep that finally consumed me.

I didn't get up until late the next day. My nose was pounding and I knew it was going to look bad when I looked in the mirror. I sat up and saw that the front of my dress was covered in blood. Great, I really loved this dress. I pulled it off and tossed it on the ground. I slipped my robe on and headed to the showers.

I got lucky and there was no one in around. Everyone must be sleeping in late after all the parties. I got out of the shower and looked in the mirror. My face didn't look as bad as I though it would. Granted my nose was swollen but my eyes weren't as bruised as I expected them to be. Some concealer and foundation would cover it pretty well.

I went back to my room and got dressed. My phone was blinking. I picked it up to see that Abby had sent me a few text messages.

Mia, where are you? Call me.

Mia, you need to call me.

Call me NOW. Something happened!

The last one was from Jesse. As much as I wanted to delete it, I decided to read it.

I'm sorry about telling Rose. But my physical health was in trouble. Please forgive me?

I rolled my eyes and dialed Abby's phone.

What took you so long to call me?

"Sorry, I was sleeping. What happened?"

Lissa was kidnapped last night by Victor Dashkov. His guardians almost killed Christian.

So that's what had happened to him. "I take it they found her."

Yeah, she's in the clinic now.

"Okay, I'll meet you later."

Over the next few days things around the school started to change. Rose was still in the clinic, but since she helped save Lissa, Kirova decided not to expel her. It didn't matter much because Lissa was digging her own grave now. She broke up with Aaron, and started dating that Strigoi wannabe Christian Ozera.

"Mia, can I talk to you?"

I turned to see Aaron standing behind me. "What do you want?"

"I wanted to say I am sorry," he said taking my hand. "I know what I did was wrong and I shouldn't have done that to you. Can you give me another chance?"

I smiled at him. "Aaron, I will never give you another chance. You seem to think that just because you are a royal that I should come running right back to you after your girlfriend left you for the Strigoi wannabe."

"I'm really sorry."

"As you should be," I called from over my shoulder as I walked away.

I was on my way to the feeders when I saw Guardian Belikov running to the clinic with Rose in his arms. I swear she practically lived there. I wonder what had happened now.

I stood outside the clinic door listening to him yelling.

"Natalie Dashkov attacked her," he said to Dr. Olendzki. Wow, Natalie was able to do that to Rose. I never would have expected that. "She was turned."

"Turned? As in…"

"Yes, she was a Strigoi."

Oh my God, Natalie had turned! "Was?"

"I killed her."

As the weeks went on I slowly gained my status back, or at least a part of it. I knew I would never be where I was before and I was dealing with that. Aaron still tried talking to me a couple more times, but eventually he stopped trying.

I was standing outside Slavic Arts when Camille Conta came up to me. I hadn't talked to her since Lissa had came back and was pretty surprised that she wanted to talk to me.

"Mia, I'm sorry that I let Lissa convince me to not talk to you. I should have known better. I mean now she is with Christian, she really never was one of us."

"I know, they are such a perfect match. Both of them are from completely disgraced and rejected families," I said as we walked down the hallway.

So things weren't completely where I wanted them, but after everything that had happened the past few months, I couldn't really complain. I was seeing my old friends again and I realized how much of a loser Aaron really was. The holidays were coming up quickly and I couldn't wait to go visit my family. Now if I could just have a few weeks of peace and quiet. But then again, I went to St. Vladimir's, there was never any peace and quiet here.
