Hi (waves sheepishly). I wish I could have an explanation as to why I am so inconsistent with the updates but I don't have any. Plots just come and go and that…. that sucks.
Sydney's POV
I hadn't been able to keep myself still as I we dashed through Montana towards the academy.
Of all missions I have been assigned to this has to be the worse one. Dealing with the creatures was normal, yes, but living with them was unacceptable. I wouldn't last a week with them stalking every corner of this place!
But at last, orders are orders, no matter how insane, not to mention suicidal, they are. They could have sent anyone but, noooooo (sarcastic tone), Sydney has to go because "she can understand the creatures' behavior because of her age", that quoting my, dear (not), father. In other words let´s send our youngest recruit to die. When the council had informed the rest of us about the mission my father threw me to the wolves without even blinking. He then had told my mother about how he had decided to send me to a private school to "finally live the experience". My mother had looked so happy I couldn't bring myself to say anything. And that's how I found myself in the guardians' office, listening to the guardians as they explained how it would work.
The guardian at least knew how I felt and didn't get too close. Had she been human; I would sure have liked her but, at last, not everything perfect. She looked strict but understanding. Her name, I remembered, was Alberta.
As she talked I couldn't help but think someone was watching me. Turning around I saw a tall guy gawking at me.
I stared back at him for a few seconds before quickly looking away. What Alberta had to say was more important that burning holes through hot gu-creatures of the night.
"You will be situated in the dhampir doors, is that okay?" Alberta said, looking at me carefully.
I nodded. Dhampirs were better than the night crawlers.
"Very well, guardian Jordan will escort you to the rooms" she said before leaving. I followed him out of the office, looking around in the meanwhile. The architecture was beautiful, but not even that could pull me out of my mood.

The pranks were harmless for a couple days but some of them were really amazing.
Stan now had to sport fire truck red hair and purple skin thanks to a couple novices. His class was a rainbow and his room…well let's just say even Kirova laughed, so that was a win.
Moroi weren't staying behind though. Many of their classrooms were now on cleaning process and the halls were decked with foam that seemed to last for days.
But the trio still was mute. No matter how many pranks they saw or how hilarious each of them was, they didn't laugh or smile one bit. But like Lissa had said a couple of days ago, we couldn't force them to like it, so we moved on.
Today it was a scavenger hunt like game. The teams were picked at random from the students participating and then they were announced in the gym. The point was to find all the items from the list before the time ran out, but the trick was that the guardians where the ones to hide it so no one knew where to start.
Surprisingly, a group of moroi freshmen won the game by three points. Said freshmen got paint-bombed later that day. Dhampirs can be sore losers sometimes.
Anyway, with only a couple days of the spirit week left, we had to up our game a little. So that's why we were running like crazy back to the dorms before the guardians caught up with us.
I really have to read the books (again). Am I doing the characters justice? Please let me know.
