Hello! I hope you are all enjoying my story because soon I will have another one called Ice Princess. It's a small one written in FB time zone that I am doing to support the Indiegogo campaign funding Frostbite. Check it out;)
Disclaimer: aaa you heard one disclaimer you've heard them all. I don't own them by Academy I never well, I don't know why I have to keep doing this at the beginning of every chapter! Enjoy:)
"Good. Now, who are you going to pin the "prank gone wrong" on?" Hans asked not sounding overly convinced. I gave him a little smile. "I have the prefect candidate."

"But I didn't do it!" Vic cried as Miss Tess finished telling him that she had gotten an "anonymous" tip that he had been behind the entire Vampire attack. They were in her office, but I had wanted to ears drop on this incase something we missed came up and I needed Adrian to do some emergency compulsion.
After everything had quieted down a bit, Adrian had tracked down all the boys that dressed up as vampires and used a little compulsion to make them think that it had all been Vic's idea.
"I'm sorry Victor, but after I received the tip, I questioned the boys that had also been involved and they all said that it had been your doing."
"But it WASNT! You can ask Lucy, it was all part of the plan! She tells that old vampire story from when the school first opened and then all the guys jump out dressed as vampires! It was approved by the dance committee!"
Miss Tess didn't look convinced. "Yes that's true, however it was you that decided to bring in other people to jump in and dress up to look like they were part of the act, and to chase after students and to bite them with metal teeth. As it is, we have has to send some students home from the shock and trauma that your little "prank" created. And all because you wanted to make our school's history "a little more exciting."
Apparently whatever was messing with the students' blood here, was also affecting their ability to heal. By the next day, all of the bites should have mostly healed. But they didn't. And we couldn't pass them off as just hickeys, so we had had to change the plan a little. But at least this way we could hide the death of the boy as just another student wanting to go home.
That still horrified me. I hadn't known him, but apparently, Jake had been a quiet boy and very shy around girls. And that was all I knew. When I found out about his passing, I vowed right then to find a way to put a stop to Miss Zerao's plans. For good.
"Well, if they all admitted to helping me then why aren't they in here with me? Why am I the only one getting the blame?"
"Because they were just doing what they were told. Because it WAS supposed to be just another prank, the dance committee asked me about it two months ago and I agreed. But they were just supposed to jump out and growl and show their teeth, NOT chase and bite! What am I supposed to tell the parents of the students that were bitten?"
I almost felt sorry for him, almost.
Vic sneered. "Tell them that their kids are just a bunch of wimps that can't handle a joke, especially the little cry babies that wanted to go home."
I almost got out from my hiding place in the air vents and punched him right then. I know Adrian compelled him into thinking that he was behind the attack, but for him to talk about the people that were the victims like that...well it was a good thing that I was in hiding right now.
"I don't think I will be doing that, they have already been through enough trauma for a while. Now, as for your punishment-"
"What! You're not serious? I didn't do anything!" Vic shouted.
"No, but you hired people to, and as far as I'm concerned this is just as much your fault as theirs. I here by suspend you effective immediately."
"You can't do that! My parents are overseas, where am I supposed to go?"
"Yes, I am aware of that. So that is why you will not be leaving us. Instead, I will put it in your record that you were suspended. But in reality, you will still attend all of your classes, but you will be under house arrest with limited visitors and not be allowed out unless it is for food or classes. You will also serve three month detention."
"No! This is INSANE, I didn't do anything! You can't do this! " Vic shouted. I really wish that I hadn't hid somewhere that echoes so much.
Miss Tess's face hardened. "I can and I have, effective immediately, now go to your room." And with that Vic stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind him so hard that the glass rattled.
Miss Tess sunk back in her chair with a tired look on her face. I didn't like having to put her through this. She was actually very nice and cared about the students that went here. But someone had to be blamed for the prank, and Vic had it coming. I carefully crawled out of the air vents and snuck over to Dimitri's room.
Miss Zerao's POV
"Well it would seem that your grand plan has failed," she said as she sat next to me overlooking the hall where my plan had unfolded. I just let a small smile spread across my face.
"It didn't," And cue the look of surprised I had been hoping to see.
"Explain," she barked out. She didn't like being left out of the loop now did she?
"The plan was never to get more victims or cause more chaos and panic. The plan was to find out if they were on to us."
"They who?" she asked. Which was quite pointless of her, she knew just as well as I did who they really were.
"The guardians in disguise. Rose and Dimitri."
"How do you know that they are on to us?"
"How else do you explain the quick response after the attack? The guardian reinforcements were here with in minutes of the attack. And I saw that before the attack even happened that Rose and Dimitri were preparing. Trust me, they knew."
"How much do they know? Do we need to switch to plan B? Or move up our first plan? Either way works; we are prepared for multiple outcomes," she said confidently. To confidently. I had dealt with these two before and I had underestimated them then, I would not do so now.
"I'm not sure, but just to be on the safe side, we shouldn't meet as regularly. And no more sending messages to one another. I don't like what I'm hearing about Rose's hacking skills in her computer class. We need to be more careful."
A shrug of her shoulders. "That's fine with me, I'm not the one that they suspect."
I gritted my teeth. "If I go down then they will know who I was working with."
Just a slight smile this time appeared on her face. "Oh, I very much doubt that dear."

It was saturday night so no one would notice me.
I knocked on his door but didn't get an answer, so I decided to pick the lock, just to see his face when he came back. I picked the door and went to go lay on his bed.
One month. We had one month to figure all of this mess out. And I didn't have a clue how we were supposed to do it. And right now I couldn't even think straight enough to try. Dimitri and I had pushed for this plan to go forward, maybe it we hadn't, then Jake would still have been alive-
- just then someone came barging through the door! Without looking, I rolled over to the other side of the bed and grabbed Dimitri's backup stake and spun around to face my attacker when I saw -

What a mess. Our brilliant plan to catch Miss Zerao in the act and find out if she was the boss or not had blown up in our faces. Now we were left with a short deadline and with limited leads to follow. I just hoped that Sydney can get something useful out of that hard drive. I got the key to my door out and was about to unlock it...when I noticed that it was already unlocked.
I never left it unlocked. I grabbed my stake and pushed the door open wide and was ready to face whoever was in there- but it wasn't what, or who I expected.
"Roza?" What was she doing in my room?
"Hey Comrade, how about you stop pointing that thing at my chest and I'll stop pointing mine at you? she asked lowering her- my- stake as well.
"May I ask why you felt the need to break into my room when you are supposed to be doing damage control?" I asked as I walked in and closed the door. "Not that I don't enjoy seeing you," I said with a smile. No, I definitely enjoyed seeing her last night. In that little costume of hers. I wonder if I ask nicely she would wear it again, but just for me?
"I'm finished, I thought that you would like to know the result."
I raised one eyebrow because I knew it annoyed her that she couldn't. And every time, I did she pulled these adorable face that I just wanted to kiss.
"It went good. Miss Tess believes that it was all a prank gone wrong on Vic's part and Vic believes that it was his doing. So now we can focus on what to do next. So what do we do next Comrade?"
Good question. The only leads that we have are the hard drive and the flu shot coming in next month. Other than that, not a whole lot.
"Well, we can do some more spying on Miss Zerao, but other than that, we just have to wait until Sydney gets back to us."
She pulled a face. "I knew you were going to say something like that."
"Then why did you come here?" I asked with a small smile.
"What, now I need a reason to sneak around with you?" she asked with a seductive smile as she walked back over to the bed and laid down on her stomach.
I could feel my eyes darken. "No, never," I said as I walked slowly over to her. "I was just wondering it you had any...other reason for sneaking into my room on a Saturday night when no one would be expecting to see you again until Sunday afternoon?" I asked as my eyes looked her up and down. She was just wearing regular clothes tonight, but it wasn't very hard to remember what she had on the night before.
My eyes widened as she rolled over and stretched out on my bed. And in doing so pushed up her body in a very alluring way. I could feel my pants becoming tighter, and was glad that I would (hopefully) soon be rid of them.
"Mmmmm, now what other reason could I possibly have for wanting to sneak in here and not be missed for over a day?" she purred as she rolled over again and came up on her knees.
I smiled. "I can think of one," And I climbed on the bed with her.
M scene next chapter
I lifted her off me and rolled us to our sides as we spooned.
"Mmm, I miss being with you like this Comrade, just having you hold me in your arms, it's been too long."
I knew how sad and guilty she felt over losing Jake and that this was her way of dealing with it, by finding comfort in my arms. I kissed her neck and pulled her a little closer.
"I know things didn't turn out as we hoped, but we will fix this Roza, everything will be fine," I whispered. She just let out a sigh.
"Should have known that you would figure out the real reason for my visit."
"We will stop her Roza and we will put an end to all of this, trust me." She was almost asleep by now so all I heard was a sleepy mutter of,
"Ok, love you." And she was out.
"I love you to Roza," I whispered even though I knew she couldn't hear me and kissed her again.
"Always."

"This is all just so weird," Alex said the next day as we lounged in her room. She and Tim had been hiding out here after the attack and had only now just resurfaced. The attack had shaken them both up. I had asked in a highly suspicious voice, about what they had gotten up to. Alex had just blushed and denied that it went any further than a few stolen kisses.
"I mean, I know vampires are real because Adrian is one, which is freaky, but now that I've seen the evil ones in person, it's just that much scarier, I don't even feel safe here anymore.
"You can always ask to go home," I suggested. I did want her to be safe, but at the same time I wanted her here so I could have another girl to talk to. I missed Lissa.
"No, I want to stay and help you out anyway I can," she said, but I think it was mostly to herself. I was sitting on her floor and noticed a book next to her bed, I picked it up and was surprised at the title.
"Your reading the Bible?" I asked. I mean, I knew that this was a Catholic school, but I didn't know that Alex was a practicing Catholic.
"Yes, my family and I are very religious. I'm actually not Catholic. I'm a Christian, but this it the best school around here so my parents didn't mind." Then she gave me a dry smile.
"It's actually why I was open to the idea of evil vampires in the first place. I always knew that there was evil in this world, I just didn't expect it to come in the form of vampires. Or that a vampire hybrid would be my best ally," she smiled at me.
"Well what can I say, being AWESOME is what I do best," I said with all of my Rose Hathaway bravo. "And hey, what better time to reconnect with your religion than when you've just survived a gruesome attack," I said not as lightly as I had meant, but surprisingly enough that was just what Alex had needed to hear, since she busted out laughing.
"T...that...that is so true..." she laughed out. I couldn't help but smile, she was a tough one.
"Come on, let's go see if the cafeteria ladies will give us some ice creem after the traumatic event that we just with through."
"Right behind you."
As we were on our way to the cafeteria I heard Miss Tess walking around talking to someone, but I didn't pay it much attention. Until I heard the last voice I would have ever expected to hear, call out my name.
"ROSE?"
I turned around to see if my ears were playing tricks on me, it couldn't be. But it was.
I turned around and saw...
aaaaw and she dose it again! How fun for you;) soooo who is it that has seen Rose? Will they blow her cover?
Who was miss Zerao talking to?
And will I ever stop with these cliff hangers? Mmmmm probably not;) see I am nice. I answered that one for you:)
Also dew to popular demand I have decided to enter into Dimitri' .Shewolf competition with frostbitten. My story will be called Ice Princess be on the lookout for it:)
