CHAPTER 3
This series is a spin off from Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead no copy right intended just a fanfic ~ Love Mia
When we finally got to Court it was late in the evening, Christian told Flair that she had to go with him to see her mom. He looked at me "Lily she wants to see you too when you get time." I nodded. Christopher took Aaron sight-seeing since it was her first time at Court. Mom, Dad, Shane, Luke and I went to the house that Mom and Dad had bought after they graduated from Saint Vlad's. I walked in to see it just as I remembered from my last visit. It felt good to be home. I saw Crystal lying in her basket, she was getting really old. Momma went over and picked her up. I walked over and petted her "Hey there Girl." She meowed weakly. I sighed, the poor thing. I walked upstairs and Luke followed. I opened the door and found my room exactly as I left it. Luke kicked of his shoes and laid down on my couch. I went in my closet and looked through it till I found an emerald green knit dress that was very sophisticated. I shut the closest door and changed. I put on shoes and a scarf to match, and a black jacket with an inside pocket , I slipped my stake in it. We had arranged to have dinner at a restaurant an hour away. Dad, Aunt Roza and Uncle Dimka taught me how to use a stake one summer, and I was given my own stake on my thirteenth birthday, but I had never been in a situation where I had to use one. I walked out of my closet and spun around. "What do you think?" Luke looked up and smiled "I love it" I sighed in relief.
We went downstairs and my parents looked at me; unlike my mother, I hardly ever wore dresses. "Why are you all dressed up?" Mom asked. I sighed, but before I could explain Luke spoke up. "I asked Lily to have dinner with me and my family tonight, outside of Court If that's okay with you Mr. and Mrs. Castile" Mom smiled. She adored him; Dad on the other hand was a little overprotective. "Luke I've told you a million times to call me Mia, and it's absolutely fine for Lily to have dinner with you and your family tonight." Dad looked at me seriously "Do you have your stake?" I nodded and patted my jacket. "That's my girl. You two have fun" It wasn't very far from my house to his so we decided to walk. Snow was falling and there was already a lot on the ground, it was like walking in a winter wonderland. Luke used his magic to warm up the air around us considerably. He looked over at me as we were walking "You have a stake?" I nodded and pulled it out of my jacket. "Wow" he said "How come you never told me?" I shrugged and put it back in my pocket. "I didn't think it was important." He chuckled "Not important? Baby how many sophomores do you know that have a stake?" I laughed "Three including myself." He looked at me in total shock. "Your brothers have stakes too?" I could see the wheels turning in his head. He was all for Moroi fighting. "Don't even think about is Conta" He faked innocence. "What?" "You know what Luke. They won't teach you how to use a stake either. They know I'll kick their ass." He frowned "Baby, I want to learn how to defend myself." We were almost at his house. I sighed, Luke wasn't a fighter at all. "Okay I'll teach you how to defend yourself, but I won't teach you how to use a stake." He smiled and kissed me. We were on his doorstep now "Do you think they'll like me" The question slipped out before I could stop it. He looked at me "Honestly? No." My face fell and I was on the verge of tears. He took me in his arms. "Lily, they are going to love you" I swore and he laughed. "Luke! Don't do that to me." He laughed, laced his fingers with mine and opened the door.
