Chapter Two:

We had been gone from the academy just over six months now. After three months Rose had stopped training with me but i kept it up. I couldn't disappoint my starshiĭ brat even more than i most definitely had by running off with the last Dragomir princess's. Once we had safely arrived in Manchester we had stayed month at my house before I insisted we leave so as not to be caught. It took considerable effort to do so but we did. From then on every couple of months we would move to a new location leaving no evidence of our existence behind, but a paper trail of fake names.

I miss my family, we were very close knit, and out of my whole family I miss my brother the most of all. My brother and i were the closest of our siblings even though he was seven years older than me and i the youngest sibling. I had two other siblings, sisters; Karolina was the eldest of us all and had an eight-year-old son Paul. Sonya was the next eldest and probably the sister i was closer too. I also missed my mother Olena and my babushka Yeva.

Something i missed almost as much as my family was Russia and in particular my hometown of Baia. I very much wished to call my family, let them know i was okay. But i knew that would risk giving away my position and the safety of my best friends.

As i was thinking of all this i was sitting in study hall staring down at my ancient history book, i wa drawn out of my thought induced trance by the bell ringing signalling the end of study hall.

"You okay, Mi?" Rhi asked me concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine, just day dreaming." I replied reassuringly. She nodded looking for the entire world to be accepting of my excuse but through the bond i felt her lingering concern.

"Well okay then. We should get going we need to be at the other end of the school for gym next." She told me heading towards the door where Rose and Lissa were waiting.

"Okay. Oh by the way we need to stop by the mall after school so i can get some new jeans and jacket. My jeans are stained and ripped beyond repair and we left my jacket when we had to run from the restaurant." I told her shrugging on my backpack and heading towards her. She nodded her head in acceptance as we both headed toward the gym with Rose and Lissa.

Yes i am still alive and continuing this story I just haven't had the inspiration to write and have been busy with my other stories and the drama that is high school and real life. Thanks for your patience and sorry for making you wait so long.
