I let go of his hand and ran towards my dorm. Why does this shit always happen to me? I screamed out not caring if anyone heard me. I could feel Lissa's side effects of Spirit trying to leak into me, I couldn't take the side effects right now, and I needed a clear head but it was starting to create holes in my wall.
I could feel the barrier slipping and I knew there was no way I was going to be able to push it back, but I tried anyway. I could feel all my emotions coming back from the past month, the rage, betrayal, pain and regret. All of them consumed me. All that heartache that bastered had caused me, all those tears that I had spilled over him. The last of my barrier came crashing down, and I stopped without realising so, I turned to the person that had been following me and he stood a few metres away from me.
"Rose, what's wrong? You need to calm down," the male voice spoke; I knew the voice I couldn't work out it out passed my emotions and the darkness. Once again I was waiting to snap at him. I had been betrayed, I had been used, and most of all I had been stupid. Everything moment that passed was getting dangerous for him. The voice I knew, but I couldn't work it out pass the blood boiling anger that was coursing through out my body. "Rose, you need to calm down, you don't want to do anything you'll regret," the voice said, but it sounded more like a taunting me from all the mistakes I had made since I came back to the Academy. A growl erupted from my throat that caught his attention but he didn't say anything.
"Leave," I commanded trying to fight the Spirit effects. I turned to walk away but he spoke.
"Rose, STOP!" he commanded, I growled at him. "Rose..." he trailed off stalking forwards, I mimicked his actions and walked backwards, and then I got into a crouch getting ready to attack him. His eyes widened but carried on walking forwards. I launched myself at him, and he quickly responded but getting to a defensive stance.
I kicked out at him and he dodged, he went for a side punch and I blocked him with my arm and swung my fist at his unprotected face which connected. He shook his head and his eyes refocused on me narrowing.
The man danced around me baking up putting some distance between us and I stalked forward after him kicking out towards his abdomen, which he blocked and threw a punch towards my head which grazed my ear. I could feel my blood boiling over that this man managed to graze my head and potentially take me out, I leaped out at him punching and blocking his moves against me. I circled around him and my hand connected with the back of his neck. I hit him but not hard enough to cause any damage to him, but just enough to knock him out cold.
I stared at him, his chest lightly rising and falling with every breath he took, and I ran back to my room. When I got there I flung my door open and ran and got my duffle bag from under my bed, I grabbed some extra clothes and stuffed them in the bottom, and then ran around my room trying to find my money that had scattered around my room, and the money from my birthday from Lissa, I picked up anything I could sell so I could get out this place.
I left my room not bothering to close the door, I just ran towards the cabin were all this grief began. I ran further past the cabin and closer to the wards, as I got closer I was keeping an eye out for Guardians. I reached the wards and looked at the wall in front of me, and I was trying to work out how to get over looking for any foot holes. I walked back towards the entrance of the Academy, and I flung my bag over, I reached up and pulled half of my body up and then placed my foot in the hole, and climbed over, after debating whether I should just jump or climb down, I jumped down twisting my ankle in a weird direction, I couldn't feel anything yet, from the rush that was flowing through my body.
I walked towards the road, that lead out of the Academy but I was afraid that I would get caught but I needed to get out of here so I followed path to the road. I didn't realise were this path came out but I underestimated how close this path came out to the gate, big time. As I walked out of the path, I thought I saw something move in front of me, I froze and nothing else moved. I walked about a meter back into the woods, when I heard someone shout.
"Who is out there?" the male voice shouted. I looked back to where the voice sounded from, and I saw a figure move towards where I was. Shit I got caught. I didn't waste any time thinking, and I ran deeper into the woods. Soon I came to a path that leads further into the woods; I thought about it and took the path. I vaguely remembered this path, but I couldn't tell you whether I had been here before.
I kept running not wanting to get caught. The fire burning throughout me kept me going, the anger, the pain and betrayal clouded my brain. I ran, and I could see the sun going down but I didn't care, the trees were becoming more spread out and I could see an opening about fifty metres ahead, I pushed myself further and I got to the opening and I felt another emotion rip through my body, sadness. I ran over to the caves, and went in, it was cold and dark but I could see. I needed to calm down and the only way I could think of is fighting, but there was no pushing bag, so I used the thing closest to me, a wall. I punched the wall over and over again, until I felt a bit calmer, but the Spirit was still going strong. I walked over to the other side, and I saw a small dark path, I knew what it was, Dimitri's blood, from where he had gotten bitten. Me seeing that snapped me back into reality, and pain flooded my system, I hunched over clutching my stomach, I could feel pain passing through my knuckles, I flexed them and yelped. I stumbled outside to see what damage there was, the sun was still up, I looked down at my knuckles, there was blood covering them, I had deep gashing from them, and the blood was dripping from them. I ignored the pain and grabbed my bag, and ripped a t-shirt into two, and wrapped them round my hands. Blood soaked through the white shirt and I could feel them throbbing. I picked out my stake and gripped it with my left hand, and that's when I heard shouting.
Xavier POV
Rose was pulling my hand and running forcing me to catch up with her and run alongside her. Even with my Guardian training I was finding it hard to keep pace with her which said something for me as it was job to be fit.
All of a sudden Rose let go of my hand and pulled ahead of me.
"Why does this shit always happen to me? Rose screamed startling me at the sound of her voice, so broken, desperate.
"Rose, what's wrong? You need to calm down," I spoke trying to keep my breathing even and catch up with her. All of a sudden Rose stopped running and I skidded to a stop a few meters away not expecting her to stop running. Rose eyed me off and kept staring at me looking like she was a caged animal who was in a flight or fight mode. "Rose, you need to calm down, you don't want to do anything you'll regret," I spoke softly. Her eyes narrowed at me as if I were taunting her. A growl sounded from her and then it all happened too fast.
"Leave," Rose demanded and turned to walk away from me.
"Rose, STOP!" I said louder trying to get her to stop. She growled in return. "Rose..." I trailed off walking forwards, she mimicked my actions and walking backwards, and then something changed Rose got into a crouch. I felt my eyes widened I slowed my walk but carried on walking forwards. All of a sudden Rose launched herself at me, and my training quickly responded and I got into to a defensive stance.
She kicked out at me and I dodged her kick and responded for a side punch to her face which I felt bad for but knew If I knocked her unconscious she'd stop. Rose blocked my attack with her arm and too quickly her fist connected with the side of my face. I couldn't help but shake my head trying to get focused knowing a trainee couldn't take a fully-fledged Guardian out.
I decided to put some distance between us trying to work out her next move I side stepped and Rose backed up putting even more distance between us but Rose stalked forward after me kicking out towards my abdomen, which I blocked and threw a punch towards her head which grazed her ear.
Her eyes darkened and instead of me following her she leaped out at me punching as she went I tried to get the upper hand but she left no area open for attack. She spun around me dodging my attack on her and I saw it but it was too late, her hand was going for the back of my neck, I felt her hand connect and then pain.
Alberta POV
I was doing my rounds which actually got me out of the confines of my stuffy office, I'd been in there too much for my liking with the recent activities of late concerning Guardian Belikov and Natasha Ozera trying to reorganise shifts around the Academy.
I didn't know how I was going to break to Rose, I didn't want her to see Belikov knowing it would cause her pain. I sighed knowing I couldn't keep her away from him.
I was making my way across the quad to the meet up station when I saw a lump on the floor, I frowned automatically trying not to think the worst scenario as I got closer. We've only just started to recover from the last attack.
As I got closer I radioed into Guardian Turner who I was meant to be meeting telling him to meet me at the new location telling him about the student on the quad.
I greeted Guardian Turner and we both approached cautiously, stakes at the ready encase it was a Strigoi playing on our fears. We stopped a meter away from the body and I frowned, it was no Strigoi, nor student. It was a Guardian.
It was Xavier. His face was bruised and had cuts on his face and blood.
Guardian Turner picked up his Guardian ID from his pocket and showed me confirming my theory of who it was. I checked his pulse it was there, strong. I breathed out the breath I was holding.
"What happened? Who would have done this to a Guardian?" he rattled off questions to me hoping answers.
"I don't know, but we have to get him to the Clinic, he looks too beaten up and he needs to be checked over." I told him wanting to know the same answers but knowing I wouldn't get them until he awoke.
