I'd been healing the injured all day and now I was waiting for Rose and the rest of the people that went on the rescue mission to come back. "Hey Lis lets go to the feeders okay?" Christian said as he came up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist, we were in the cafeteria where most of the students and teachers where. "Sure" I said before taking his hand as we walked towards the feeders. None was there because it was way after lunch but they let us in anyway, we got Alice as the feeder. She was a little crazy or as Rose like to cal her an absolute loony.
"Ah Christian and Lissa! Where's our lovely Rosemarie…did you two have a fight?" she asked confused looking around for Rose. I missed Rose; I hope she's ok.
While Christian was drinking from her I started thinking about Rose and how she's bee acting these last few weeks. Really happy and more care free. I'm glad that Guardian Belikov has been helping her with her training and I think she is glad too.
"Lis you still with us? Its your go, better hurry if were gonna go find out if their back yet" Christian said as he broke me out of thought. "Oh sorry…just thinking" I said, my voice breaking on thinking wondering if Rose would be ok. As if he were reading my thoughts Christian said "Lis this is Rose, she'll come back and be ready to fight even more strigoi". I just simply nodded before swapping spots with Christian to feed from Alice.
As I sat down next to Alice, I noticed she had a dazed look on her face but not the kind of look you get from the endorphins it was the kind of look you get when your lost in a thought in another world, a world of your own. She had that look for another few seconds before saying
"They are back from a world of black but the red rose you seek shall not be found on the white or black the red rose you seek is lost in between the black and white. The red rose you seek is stuck in the grey only to be found by the red roses lover the fighter of the black and protector of the white. Will he be lost or will her shinning light guide him through the white's overpower and the blacks need to hurt to the grey"
Once she finished talking the dazed look was gone and she turned back to us like nothing ever happened. "Um Alice are you ok and what was that" I said bewildered. I looked over to Christian but he just shook his head and nodded toward Alice as if to say come on hurry up. "My dear this is what I know but not know what I know" Alice said to me in a matter of fact tone like I was supposed to know exactly what she was talking about. Well no I don't know. I just simply nodded not understanding before leaning in to bite her.
Once we got outside after the feeders and our talk with Alice I really needed Rose right now. I can't wait till she's back. I was leaning into Christian at the front gate with a few other students and teachers waiting for the rescue group to come back. We saw them come down the path way with injured and standing tall Guardians and students and teachers. I was looking for where Guardians Belikov would be because for sure Rose would be with him, plus he's pretty tall easier target to spot even if he is a guardian.
I spotted him but Rose wasn't with him, maybe they had to be in groups and they weren't in the same group or maybe she was just walking somewhere else or maybe she was helping someone else. Maybe. "GUARDIAN BELIKOV" I screamed out to him once they where inside the wards. He looked up to the sound of his name, but he didn't look strong or powerful like he normally did, he looked torn and a wreck and like he was about to cry. Oh my what's happened! He started walking over to us but that wasn't fast enough for so I ducked out of Christians arms and ran harder then I ever ran before over to him.
He nodded to me saying "Princess" he looked like he was about to break down any second. "Where is she?" I said in a hard firm tone. I noticed that Christian was back by my side he must have ran after me. Guardian Belikov now looked even more broken then before if possible. "Princess come with me…we need to talk," he practically whispered. We went over to a quiet spot under a tree since it was just sunset we were shaded the best we could be in the spot where we were in.
"Well where's Rose!" I said on the verge of tears I had a good idea what had happened from the look on his face and when I asked where she was he wanted to talk but I didn't want to believe it. "Princess…"he started "Rose was taken during the rescue mission" his voice broke as he said the last part. I couldn't breath I felt Christians arms go around me but I though them off. "NO!" I scream to no one in particular. I started crying harder then when I lost my family. "Lis shh calm down. I'm sure she's all right she most probably got them all and is trying to get back before dark" Christian soothed to me.
"NO DON'T YOU GET IT SHE'S GONE AND ITS ALL THE GAURDIANS FAULT" I screamed at them "THEY SHOULD HAVE SAVED HER" I shouted more loudly in their faces.
Just then Guardian Petrov and guardian Alto came over to us. Guardian Petrov turned to Guardian Belikov and said, "She knows?" I was crying hysterically by now but wouldn't let anyone touch me. "Princess it was a grave loss but you have to calm down" Guardian Alto said to me, I did the most unexpected thing anyone including me would ever think I would do, I slapped guardian Alto across the face. "Don't you dare tell me to be calm I just lost my best friend my sister even the only family I had left just because you hated Rose doesn't mean you can tell tome to calm down" I growled to him now that I had stoped crying I continued " All of you get lost and leave me the hell alone" I turned on my heel leaving them and their shocked faces behind me as I stalked up the path to my room.
