Chapter Fourteen: Day Five
I woke by soft kisses being planted on my face. I snuggled against the warm body next to me.
"Roza, my dear you have to wake up."
"No I don't" He continued planted kisses, now further down my neck and shoulders.
"Yes you do, we have to scare a few novices latter. Lissa wants to go over the episodes and there are doughnuts waiting for you."
Doughnuts?
"Fine I'm awake, I'm going already." I took his shirt putting it over my head and went to were Lissa and Roxanne were sitting. I took the plate of doughnuts and sit with them.
"Let's start."
"Don't feel like getting dressed?" Lissa asked.
"Not yet, get this show on the road." With this Roxanne started the episode covering the visit to the Russian Court.
The episode started whit the intro of the ruling Dragomir sign and then the voice over started explaining were we were this time while they were showing footage of the Russian court probably shot throughout the entire day. Then the footage of the Lissa and Christian exiting the plane and then talking to the people gathered and hugging a toddler who gave her a cart he had drawn. Ending this scene with Lissa waving while driving to the palace itself.
The next scene was of the Voda Couple welcoming us followed by the entire conversation afterwards. Our weird reaction to the question if Eddie and I ever had something romantic.
"Stop right there." I said. Roxanne did.
"I don't know how you would do it or if it is possible, but do not show Jillians reaction whatsoever."
"What do you mean?" Lissa asked.
"I don't know how serious it is, but I think there is something playing between Jill and Eddie. I don't think we want rumors to start about it, while they don't even know what's going on." I said. "Look at Jill's reaction. It might look like she is jealous and don't want some sheep blogger or gossiper to think that. It would ruin everything, while there isn't even something to begin with. Yet."
"Jill and Eddie. I never saw...I mean she still is my sister. I'm suppose to catch on things like that."
"Don't sweat it Liss, they are doing the hiding very good, though that's probably because neither of them have given in or admitted to it." Lissa just knotted. "You better don't tell anyone." I said to Roxanne.
"Of course not. I'm sorry I didn't knew about Princess Dragomir and guardian Castile. I'm seeing the family you guys have made for yourselves and I don't want to ruin it. I'll make the adjustments." She hit play again and the rest of the conversation continued ending with the bantering of me and Christian. It's weird seeing yourself on screen.
Next was shots of Lady Voda introducing Jill to different prominent Moroi and making small talk with them on the reception they attended while I was with Lissa discussing politics. Ending with her guardian whispering something in Ambers ear after she said goodbye and walked with Jill to the door were we met them right before the speech. Right after that the highlights of the speech followed ending with the applause.
Roxanne hit pause. "I didn't add lunch, because I couldn't really work around the conversation. I can add some mute shots whit background music or speech over it, but there was always someone looking tens, and I didn't think..."
"It okay, Roxanne, you did good."Lissa said and Roxanne hit play again.
Followed was the walk around court and of course the scene of the attack. It was a beautiful montage. First you saw me and Dimitri walking closer to the royal couple while putting our hand on our weapons. Directly followed by Eddie. You could see the far guardians go for there weapons just as the four moroi walked out. First the scene focused on Christian putting up a circle of fire and getting help from the Voda's. It happened really fast.
"Please Pause." Lissa said "Christians magic is quite strong you might want to explain in voice over what just happened. Perhaps put it in slow-motion. Also ... Euhm...could you maybe not show how scared I was. I want to look strong, like I can handle this."
"Lissa, you are strong enough. The only reason Christian didn't shut down and pissed his pants in fear is because he has been in a fight against Strigoi."
"He has?" Roxanne asked. I explained the attack on St-Vlads.
"With your permission I would like to use this in the voice over, just to explain why his fire element is so developed."
"I think Sparky would like the good attention, just don't make him a hero. His head would explode."
"Rose.."
I shrugged and hit the play for Roxanne. The scene continued with me shouting to Christian and running after the girl and climbing on wall. Then it cut back and I saw that the male offensive Moroi attacking with their magic. Guardian Jackson reza, a far guard, took the first one down. He was good. The other two where taken down by Dimitri and Eddie. Dimitri ran towards the ally I disappeared in. I heard Lissa yell.
'She's on the roof' With that everybody looked in shock while Christian let the circle fall. They ran and the view changed to the girl jumping on the bar me following just behind her. I saw that the others just arrived when I jumped over the fire and kick her in the chest. I saw her flipping herself onto the balcony and my jumping on her. The scene ended with Lissa hugging me and Dimitri kissing my cheek. The episode ended with mute footage of dinner while the voice over explaining what would happen to the four Moroi.
"So anything you want to change?" Roxanne asked.
"No, I like how awesome I look. "
"Now your head is going to explode." Lissa retorted.
"Haha, you're so funny." She hugged me anyway.
"It is good Roxanne, much better than last time, Thank you. Also that was very brave of you and your assistants to make sure the entire fight was filmed. "
"Thank you, your majesty, I'll go make the adjustments."
"Do we already know why they attacked or for who they worked?" Lissa asked
"No, they are not talking yet."
"Now we are going to get dressed to start this long day. You better drink some coffee today Rose, It is going to be a quite long one."
"Scrap the shopping Liss and it isn't that long anymore."
"No Rose. You are going to meet old friends of Dimitri and most dhampirs know who you are. You'll thank me latter for make you a even more ravishing beauty then you already are."
"Whatever, I'm going to shower this ravishing body of mine" I said with a wink and walked off. When I was don showering I walked out to see Lissa sitting on the bed.
"So?" she asked. "Have you started looking in Dimitri's file already?"
"About that, there is a problem." I stopped to pull a sous-pull over my head. it was really was getting cold and had starting to wear clothes under my uniform. "Its written in Russian, not just Russian, It's like the crylic Russian. So I can't even type it in Google translate."
"Fine I'll help you with it, but now you have to move because in a few minutes we're receiving the grand tour of St-Basils."
"Fine let's go find the hidden corners of St-Basils. Oh no, That's, right they are only going to show us the boring everyday buildings of a school." I said with a lot of sarcasm.
"Come on, let's go." She pulled me out of the room.
We were already 'touring' for an hour and a half. St-Basil was beautiful really, But in the end. It was a school. Lissa on the other hand was asking questions about architecture, strategic building placing and a whole lot of other thing that I didn't care about. Apparently some of the building were build in a different decade or something. I couldn't see it and I was bored out my mind. Roxanne was working on altering the episode and we were being followed by one of her little helpers. They probably wouldn't use much of this anyway.
We were walking back to the main building, when I noticed something. Christian and Dimitri were not whit us. So I asked where they were.
"Christian said he wanted to prepare something for his magic initiation or something. I suppose Dimitri is with him." Of course Dimitri is with him, he is his guardian. The true question was, what the hell did Sparky needed to prepare. He was good enough at his magic to not need to prepare anything. I didn't think of it more because we entered the main building and after disclosing this tour we went to lunch. Finally something fun! We met with Dimitri and Christian and went to the staff room. We would eat here this afternoon. Dimitri was talking with some teachers. Christian was talking with the fire magic teacher when Roxanne came up to us saying that the alterations were finished. I told her to give me the tablet and I would watch it. She told me to hit the 'upload' button if I was okay with the changes or hit the 'cancel' button when there was something I didn't like. I gathered Lissa's attentions and quickly scrolled through the episode only looking to the altered parts. When we were through I asked Lissa if she wanted to do the honors of uploading he episode.
"So this is going straight online?"
"That's what Roxanne told me."
"Well okay then." She tapped the upload button. The program loaded it and then asked if I was sure I wanted it online. I taped the 'Yes' Button and was send to the official monarchy news page, where the new episode now stood online. Only a minute latter Roxanne walked in.
"The school is asking permission to play the episode while the students are in the cafeteria."
"Oh, no problem tell them it's okay." Lissa said. Roxanne thanked us and walked away saying something to the moroi standing in the door. Half a minute later the screen in the staff break room went on and the episode started playing. Just like it would on every other screen in school.
"I hate seeing myself on screen." I whispered to Lissa.
"Me too, just sit through it."
"This are going to be a very long thirty minutes."
"Just think about how more afraid the novices are going to be later, after they watched this."
"I think a lot of moroi students are going to want to know about magic defense after seeing this."
"I think I'm going to let Christian teach them how to put on a ring up."
"Good idea brainwash the new generation Liss. Your royal evilness." I whispered
"You think people will think I'm brainwashing them?"
"Of course not. We are talking about teenagers here. Half of them would like nothing more than know how to do this. they probably are going to ask Christian anyway. Problem solved. Just don't push anyone into it and you should be save from gossip."
"Okay. oh look." It was the part where the attack just started. "You look awesome there Rose. I don't think anybody is going to attack me again if they see you or Christian next to me."
"Let's hope so." They still would try to harm her. They just aren't going to underestimate us anymore.
First of all thank you for the awesome review's, and remember to tell me your great ideas
