Hey guys! It's Rose Samantha! Just wanted to apologize for the wait. I had tons and tons of things to do. I know you want to read this chapter but I would like to say one thing. Thank you! I thank the people that waited for this, here is your reward, my not-as-awesome-as-I-make-it-seem story!

Love yall,
Me!

An hour later Lissa came in with a hand over her eyes, stepping slowly. I giggled, my naked body on top of Ben's. I got under the covers, covering Ben as well.

"Clear." I said, and she breathed out a sigh of relief. She walked over to me, and smacked my head.

"You guys are loud!" she said.

"Tell that to Rose for me." I said, making her laugh.

"Come on sis, clothes on. Now!" she said, walking out of the room. I laughed then went to go grab my clothes that were scattered all over the floor.

"Babe." Ben whined. "Do you gotta go?" he asked. He looked sad.

"Yup, sorry bub. No more candies for you." I said, plucking his nose like a string. He laughed. I got dressed then threw his clothes at him. Pulling him out of bed. He got dressed while I went to the bathroom for a moment. I came back to him being fully dressed watching One Tree Hill. Odd, didn't know he liked that show. Hm, well, you learn something new everyday!

"What the hell are you watching?" I asked.

"One Tree Hill. I hate this show, but it's the only thing good on right now."

"Oh, hmmmm. I see. Well, Ben. I guess this is good bye."

"Yup. Good bye love." Love?

"Love?" I asked.

"It's a British nick name! If they can call themselves that, then why can't I?"

"Because you're Irish buck-o!" I giggled. He chuckled.

"Why do you have to leave?" he asked.

"I was transferred to this Academy, and I have to live there till I graduate now. I'm sorry. I'll see you during winter break, right?" he shrugged. I started to walk out when he grabbed my arm, lightly though.

"Babe, what's gonna happen to us? What if we start liking other people. This girl, Nara, keeps wanting to know if we could hook up ever since you left school." he said.

"Okay, here it is. Why don't we just be friends? I love you, a lot Ben, but you never know. Let's just be friends from now on, alright?" I asked, reaching my hand out. He skipped it, kissing me furiously.

"I love you Anastasia, but if that is what you want, then, alright."

"You have a way of getting home?"

"Yeah." I smiled at his little lie.

"I'll send you a cab." I grabbed my bags, and left the room to Ben. A tear fell down my face, but I stopped it. I would not cry! I got outside and climbed into the car. Sitting next to Rose this time. She looked at me, smiling, but it dropped once she saw my face.

"Hey, hon, what's wrong?" I shrugged. A soft smile going on my face.

"Nothing. It's just, I've lived in this town since I was four months old. How was I lost?" I asked, looking at Rose, her face hardening.

"Mom told me this when I heard you were arriving. After I was born and sent to the Academy, my mom had secret meetings with our father, Abe. When I was four, she visited a final time, getting a little ruff in the bed though. Too ruff. Nine months later you were born. Four months later my mom was going to hand you over to the Academy. The night before she accidentally left the window open, allowing Strigoi to come in. The first thing they saw was a helpless, defenseless baby. You. As soon as they touched you, you started wailing. Really loudly, too loud. Mom came rushing in to see your crib empty and the window open. She still heard you and jumped out of the window, she ran. Seeing the Strigoi laughing, holding something. She raced after them the whole night. They stopped by a stream, not knowing she was there. One was about to take a bite, when she jumped, causing him to drop you. She killed them, only to see you gone. You fell into the shallow stream, as you had floated away. You went all the way down, to the end, where your so called "Mommy and Daddy" found you. My mom looked everywhere. She put up missing child posters, but no one in our world could find you. That's because you weren't in our world anymore, you were with the humans. No one Moroi, dhampir, or Strigoi ever saw you again. Till now." she said, a tear building up in her eye. But it vanished.

"Wow." Lissa said. "That sounds horrible!" she said looking at me, Dimitri was silent the whole time.

"Yup, good thing we found you."

"Why?"

"Because now you don't have to g to college!" they laughed. My smile faded.

"But, I was supposed to go to Harvard next year." I said, crying.

"Really?" Rose asked.

"Yeah, really. I worked so hard in school, and now, my dream since I was a little kid is now ruined!" I sobbed. Rose hugged me, and hugged me tight. But i wasn't just crying over Harvard, i was crying over my stupid life. I wanted to die right now. Nothing mattered to me anymore.

"Anastasia, chill, it's just Harvard. Now, what's this really about?" I didn't answer.

"Come on, tell us."

"Kill me, please. My life sucks. My family and my friends and my boyfriend, and my dream school all gone!"

"Ahhh, so it wasn't just about the school was it?" Lissa asked. I shook my head.

"What happened with Ben?" Rose asked.

"i broke up with him."

Lissa gasped.

"Why? You guys were so cute together!" she said.

"Yeah, but every girl in the school is trying to hook up with him, and he is going to be tempted soon enough. I knew I had to end it there. I may start going out with someone else to. You never know." Lissa and Rose smiled at me. Lissa gave me a high five, while Rose gave me a hug.

"She is smart!" they laughed.

"That, is not smart, but also propared." Dimitri said. "Good job for looking ahead."

"Thank you."

"I just feel sorry for him." he said.

"Why?" Lissa asked.

"Anastasia looks a lot like Rose, almost identical, to agree to break up with someone like that is extrememly stupid. I would never dump Rose. I love her to much to see her with someone else." Dimitri explained. Lissa awed them, I smiled, and Rose reached over and squeezed him knee, while smiling.

We got to the Academy around curfew time. Everyone was in their dorm rooms or about to go to their dorms. I raced to my area, rapidly pulling out my key to unlock it. When it was unlocked I headed inside and fell face flat on the covers. My bed was made, and its sweet smells smacking my nose.

"Anastasia?" Fred asked.

"What, can't a girl be home sick?" I asked.

"Anastasia!"

"Fred!" Just then Kevin walked in.

"Kevin!"

"Anastasia!" they both hugged me.

"Glad to see you guys. Now, can you let me go? Suffocating here." I barely made out. They released me.

"Finally! I thought you were dead An." Kevin said, Fred nodding beside him. I laughed.

"You guys are awesome."

Kevin and Fred looked at each other then nodded. They started to advance.

"Guys. Guys back up. Please?" they came jumped, playfully screaming.

"I'm a Strigoi, I'm a Strigoi!" they chanted as they tackled me, causing us all to giggle. When they got off I pretended to cry and ran into the bathroom. Believing me and my terrible acting, they ran to the bathroom, but were to late. I had already locked myself. I started to fake cry, and I knew they felt bad. Just then, stuff came through the door. Notes, money, jewelery, everything came through the door. Five minutes later I walked out, and they gave me a hug.

That night was awesome. Till I had to go to sleep. My nightmare was vivid, horrifying, and worst of all. Believable. It was horrible, all the way through. When will I ever wake up?

Did ya enjoy? Hope so. I want to say one thing. I do not know when the next chapter will be. I promise not over two months. I promise. Hopefully. Keep reading. Love yall!
