Sorry this one's very short, but it's short in the actual book! Thanks for reading :)

Chapter 12
We didn't leave right away however, as the Keepers were all still asleep. The three of us waited up and talked a few hours while waiting for them.
The Keepers had mixed reactions to us leaving. Many had started to get used to us being there and were surprised we were leaving so fast. Most of them were sad that Rose was leaving, after seeing her fight.
We walked down the forest's path, towards Sydney's car. Angeline caught up with Rose and began begging her.
"Take me with you," she said.
"Sorry," Rose replied. "We have to do this alone."
"I can help! You beat me…but you saw what I can do. I'm good. I could take a Strigoi."
"You might be able to," Rose told her, after a small hesitation. "But it's just not possible for you to come with us."
I continued walking with Sydney in front of me as Rose handled the situation.
Sydney and I both reached the car and waited for Rose. She joined us soon after but didn't say a word as we got in the car. I made to go the driver's side but Sydney refused.
I put up a fairly good argument but it was no good - especially after Rose joined in with reasons why she should be allowed to drive too.
We eventually gave up when we realised that our attempts were futile and I sat in the passenger seat while Rose climbed in the back.
In the side mirror, I could see a small sad look on Rose's face in the back but it seemed to disappear the further we got from the Keepers.
I made an agreement with Rose that I would sleep a little, considering we would more than likely be fighting Strigoi later tonight.
Not realising how tired I was, I slept for at least half of the journey. When I woke, I discovered we still had another three hours to go. After checking on Rose, whom I found was checking in with Lissa, I settled for watching the scenery outside of the car as we made our way to Lexington.
