"I say she is. Nicolo go back to your dorm immediately this is none of your concern!" His voice cut through the air like a knife that stabbed me in the heart. My own father the famous kick ass guardian Dimitri Belikov though I Angela Roza Belikov was weak.
"This is my concern. You have no right to treat her li-"
"Now Nicolo I swear if you do not start walking now you will regret it at your training session in the morning!"
"Nicolo….go I'm okay nothing he will say will make this worse," I looked at him with eyes I didn't even know I possessed as I stood up and stared the man who made me in the face.
"If you need me Ang I'm here" I could hear the sadness in his voice the hesitation and it made me smile before I put on my mask. The mask I dispised the mask that made me wish I could just walk away from this life and be normal.
"Good Bye Novice!" My father added with a hint of aggression as Nicolo walked away from us, "That was unexcepta-" He didn't even have a chance to finish his statement before I punched him in the face.
"If you wanna show me how you feel and you wanna say how disappointed you are in me then spare with me!" I continued to hide all emotion as I attempted to sweep him. We were fist and fist and due to his now broken nose I had a bit of an advantage but soon due to my lack of height and weight he over powered me and pinned me down.
"Angela what is your problem!?! I know you've hate attitude problems in the past but what is this? This sudden anger against your new mentor and your fellow novices is this some kind of late teenage rebellion!" His voice was calm but angry as he pulled me up and stared me in the eyes.
"My problem is you" my words were firm they gave no emotion no nothing I would not give him the pleasure of seeing me break. "You brought me here because of her. Because you still love her. You didn't care that my mother was searching to kill your only child. All you cared about was being with Guardian Hathaway. I was safe in Russia I was safe at the Academy" my words were meant to sting like a knife in a old wound. "I hate you Dimitri Belikov and I ho-"
"Guardian Belikov there was a breach in Security. A blonde Strigoi was spotted at the edge of the forest. She was calling for Novice Belikov…." The man paused and looked at the scene in front of him I smirked as I walked away.
Over my shoulder I made sure he could hear my words, "Russia was safer now the lives of the Moroi at this Academy will be on your hands."
"Ang are you okay?"
It surprised me how much his voice made me feel so much better. After the shit day I had I was more then ready to just sleep but I knew something was up. "Nic is there anyway you could possibly…sneak in?" I asked quietly as we walked back to my dorm, "I need to shower first but I really don't wanna get left alone tonight" I smiled as I kissed him on the cheek and entered my dorm. Soon it felt as though an eternity has passed when I heard the crash at the window. The sun was rising so the threat of my mother was the farthest thing from my mind, but what I saw just made everything worse. "What the hell are you doing here Hathaway!?" I had half the mind to push him out the window. I had heard stories of his father but I never thought he would be a trouble maker with a bad ass guardian as a mother.
"What you'd rather I be Nicolo! That unworthy Damphir? I have a royal father doesn't that make you wa-"
"What is he doing here?"
