So I was very excited when I saw a couple reviews and getting mails of people following and favorite this story! Here is chapter 3:

We stayed together for a couple more hours and a couple of bottle's liquor. After it I hobbled home and throw my few belongings in the already packed suite case.

And now I'm standing at the grounds of the academy. Nothing had changed. I look at the primary school, it's were Lissa and I became friends. So many memories are here. All the nights we talked until the sun went down again. All the parties we went to and we could be just teenagers. All those times that I had to stand up for her. And of course, the moments she stood up for me. The place we left when we were only fifteen years old. And the moment we were brought back when we were 17.

I miss her so much. Her sweet smile and her kindness. The way she talked and even the way she walked. The jokes we made and even the times we cried. Well, mostly she cried and I ended beating up someone. Some people say that I should move on. Find a new friend and enjoy this life again. They saw me as Lissa's guardian and maybe as her friend. But after everything we were so much more. We were sisters.

After the dead of Lissa's parents and brother I was her only family. And she felt like my only family. Even besides that, we were bounded. Losing that bound was like someone cut of a limp of my body without anesthesia. She cared so much about me that she brought me back to this world. And I swore that I would die for her.

I touch the chotki that I still wear. I wonder what we would have done now when she was still here. I wonder if we were travelling like she always wanted. Or being stuck at some school because Lissa wanted to learn more. Or even at court, listening to those stupid royals. Hell, she could even be queen by now. Lissa could have done so much by now that it isn't even close to fair that she died that night. And I know that she fought with everything she had. They told me. But it wasn't enough. I let out a sigh and pick up my suit case. Let's face Alberta. Before I scare myself of off this place and go life with the humans.

'Rose, I'm so happy to see you again.' Alberta says and she gives me a hug. I hug her back. She was always like a mother than me. I smile to her and we sit down.

'I am glad that you said yes about my question to come work here.' She says and my smile drops. Question? Oh, stupid Hans. I could have said no. I could have stayed where I was and never come back to this place. But he said it like I didn't have any choice. I guess someone has to pay when I see him again. That is something nice to think about.

'Well, I didn't know that it was even a question. Hans told me yesterday and so I packed my stuff and went here.' I say and she gives me an apologizing look.

´I ordered Hans to ask you. To give you a change to chance your life you know. I know that you have only been traveling the last five years. You have called this place your home for all your life. I thought, maybe you wanted to come home.´ she explained. I stand up and hug her again. She is really looking after me like a mother. And maybe I should just give it a shot. I always thought that I couldn´t call it a home anymore after Lissa died. But there was more to it what made me call it home for me. Alberta was one of those persons that made the academy a home to me.

´You know, I just give it a shot okay? I will try it, for you. And it would be nice to unpack my suit case for once. I haven't done it in like three years. And you know. If it doesn't work out the way I wanted I could always become the next mobster.' I say and she laughs.

'You know it was kind of boring the past five years without you here. I had you around here for ten years and you came to my office at least once a week.' She says and that makes me laugh. We spent a couple hours of talking and catching up for the last five years.

After we finished our talking she showed me my room and I immediately collapsed on the bed. I slept for a couple of hours. When I woke up it was already in the afternoon for the moroi. So I went out to look for something to eat and walk a little around the academy. A lot of students are arriving today because school is starting the day after tomorrow.

I stopped again by Alberta's office to pick up my guarding schedule. I will be teaching five days a week so I only have to do a patrol on the weekends. And not even every weekend. So I won't be complaining about it. And now I'm walking around the borders. Just to be sure that they are still there. I walk by the little pond and the cabin.

My heart aches by the memory of everything. I try the door and notice that it still open, so I walk inside. Everything is just like we left it. The same sheets on the bed. A vase with fake flowers on the table. There is still a little casserole that we used to boil some water. It is so strange. This is the place that I lost my virginity. It is the place that we finally started a relationship. And it is the place that we broke up.

We went here a couple of times. To talk or to spend time together. Some nights we slept here, in each other arms. But after that one time we had never sex again. I miss him so much. And not only because I crave to be touched again of even held. But because who he is. His humor and his beautiful smile. His life zen lessons and his sexy accent. I even miss his duster and the way he could reread all his western books. I find myself listening to country music from time to time. I still don't like it. But it makes me think of him.

After spending a little more time in the cabin I finish my walking around the borders. I walk toward the moroi household. Adrian told me that they made a garden for Lissa. A memory for the last Dragomir. On the east side of the building there are large bushes covering an open space. You can only walk in on one side and there is a small sign. It says: 'In loving memory of the last Dragomir: Vasilisa Dragomir. A true princess, friend and leader.'. Well, it's true. But I don't think that many people knew how wonderful she really was.

In the middle of the garden is a large statue. It looks like Lissa, but the face isn't quite right. Yes, it looks like her. But the expression on the face is one that Lissa would never make. She looks likes she is better than everyone else. And well, Lissa would never feel like she is more than anyone. I have to say that it is a very nice place. There are a lot of flowers and grass. There are a couple of benches were you could sit. Lissa would have loved this place. I wonder who came up with it. When I left the academy this wasn't here.

I hear someone clear their throat and it drags me out of my thoughts. My mind goes blank and I spin around. 'Rose?' the person asks and it takes my breath away.

I hope you guys had a nice Valentines day! And for the people who celebrate it: I hope you had/have a nice Carnaval!

Let me know what you thought of this chapter. And who you think will appear in the next chapter!

See you next Sunday!
