Author's note: sorry to everyone who reads my fan-fic for not updating for so long. i have had a very hectic time at school. Again i say sorry. here is the next chapter. please read and review. :)

…Everyone was laughing and dancing. Mel's parties were awesome. Lisa and I were doing a bit of free-styling when. Everyone was going crazy, and it was already two in the morning.

'Did someone put alcohol in the fruit punch' someone said

'Guilty' I said standing on a chair and several people cheered. That moment my mentor - the one and only Dimitri Belikov - happens to walk in, total embarrassment. He walked up to me..

'Hi' he said, how could he be so casual around me after what happened last term.

'Hi' I said back. 'do you want to dance Dimitri?' I asked him in my sweetest voice.

' Rose I..' but I cut him off.

'Shut up and dance.' we started to dance to a casual song. When it ended a slow song was put on. We walked to the side of the hall and got some punch.

'Roza…' OMG what was he going to say to me.

'Roza, I cant stay away from you any more..' before he could finish the huge oak door flew open. Everyone froze in horror at what they saw. The Strigoi. As the figures entered the room panic broke forth.

'Go' Dimitri said.

'I..' but he was gone. I grabbed Lisa and made a break for the corridor. I looked round.

'Lisa go to your dorm and get your credit card. Don't pack anything else, please, we don't have time'

Lisa ran up the stairs without saying a word. I heard footsteps and bent into a defensive crouch fumbling for m dagger hidden under my dress. A shadow appears and a face appears round the corner.

'Tell me where the princess is' he said inching towards me.

'Tell me and we will take her and leave your precious school alone'

'NO' I screamed he was barely three feet away and getting closer. He grabbed my wrists so I was up to eye level.

'Now, sweetheart. Tell me where she is and I don't have to hurt a hair on your pretty little head.' he said looking me up and down. I smiled my maneater smile and he loosened his grasp on my wrists.

'Well maybe ' I said putting my arms round his neck. I put my mouth up to his ear and whispered softly.

'I ill never tell you' and before he could react I kneed him in the groin. He let out a gasp and fell to the ground. Man I needed a silver stake. Buy students aren't allowed so instead I pulled out my dagger an stabbed him.

Lisa came running down the stairs and faltered a little at the sight of the blood.

'Yes I know, I took too long, but I grabbed us some water as well.' she panted. I hadn't thought about that. I grabbed her hand and pulled her through the doors out into the courtyard. I knew it wouldn't be long before the Strigoi I stabbed would get up an tell the others. We ran out into the darkness and that's how we ended up in the middle of the forest.
