AN/ I can either continue Angela Roza Belikov as is. Or I can restart it with similar characters but with the events of Spirt Bound happening and with flashbacks of what I think'll happen in last sacrifice. If it's continuing as is this is a taste of the next chapter. If not I already have ideas I'm typing up and if you want both then I'll venture to do both. I have about two months of nothing to do.

"You're not leaving," His voice echoed in my nightmares. The blood red eyes of my mother chased me as I ran through the forest surrounding the academy. "You're not worthy to be a guardian. A guardian doesn't need a guardian. You're just some washed up show off who is afraid of her own shadow!"

No….No….C'mon wake up Angela. Snap out of this. None of it's true. Mommy. "MOM!" I felt the sweat dripping down my forehead and my loud panting and pulled my knees to my chest. "Stupid dream." I pushed my covers off and sat up slowly with my body protesting to go back to sleep. It was midnight by academy standards, but in the human world it would be lunch time. The thought of running away and into the human world ran through my head again, but I knew better. He'd find me, if only just to brag that I wasn't the guardian he thought he was training when I made top of my class. At least I'd be away from the drama that seems to pursue my family like bees to honey. I digress. Running away would solve nothing.

Knock. Knock. "Everything okay in there?"

Great the dorm matron heard my scream. What's next the entire Guardian team? "Yes. Just a nightmare" I called getting out of bed silently. Being on of the few female guardians allowed me my own room as well as my own bathroom. So waking up after a nightmare like the one that just jolted me into my miserable life means I can wash it right off and try to get back to sleep before five rolls around. Doubtful that I'd be fully alert after the night I've had but it was worth a shot.
