Chapter 6-

Lissa walked with me across the quad. I was completely impressed by it. It definitely was a lot bigger than I thought at first. There were several buildings that were all built in the same mid evil style and the campus was surrounded by miles of woods. It might have been a good thing that I knocked myself out yesterday because I would have never found my way out of there. Then I realized that Lissa was out in the sunlight. "Aren't you going to burn up or sparkle or something," I asked feeling kind of embarrassed as soon as the words left my mouth. Lissa giggle. "No, sunlight doesn't do that kind of thing to us. It's pretty uncomfortable and it makes us week, but that's about it." I nodded. Okay, so I had a lot to learn.

We walked in silence for a little while longer. I was still not sure what the hell I was doing here, and still trying to wrap my head around all of this. It was a lot to take in and I was happy that Lissa was allowing me to figure it all out without interrupting my thoughts.

"Here we are," she said entering a building that looked almost exactly the same as the office building we had just come from. Of course when we went inside it was much different. We entered a commons area that had a lot of tables and couches scattered around. There was a desk that sat in the center of it all with a tall women who looked extremely bored sitting staring at a book. She looked up when we walked in.

"Princess, what are you doing here at this hour?" she asked.

"I was just escorting Sam to her room," she said smiling at the women behind the desk.

"Oh yes, Samantha Martin. We have been awaiting your arrival. Your room is on the third floor in room 305. All of your belongings have been brought up. I hope you find everything to you likings," she said smiling at me and handing me a key.

I smiled back at her. "Thanks," I said. Lissa was almost bouncing next to me with a big grin on her face.

"What," I asked.

"Oh, this is so great. You're room is right next to Roses," she said happily. "I just know we are all going to get along so well." Lissa hugged me and then pulled me up the stairs. I had to smile, because even though I was really freaked about everything and was really wondering if my sanity was still check, I thought, maybe, just maybe, she was right, and I would fit in here.

Lissa showed me to my room and told me she was going to get Rose to come over and say hi. She didn't even leave the room, but somehow about thirty seconds later my door opened to a very sleepy looking girl. She had extremely dark hair and brown big brown eyes. She was about my height and I could tell she was extremely fit. I was even a little taken back by how pretty she was. Of course at the forefront of my thoughts was how Lissa had gotten her to come over here without even leaving my room.

She looked between Lissa and me, with a bit of a scowl on her face. I looked at over at Lissa who was looking at Rose with a look on her face I couldn't quite figure out. Roses face softened and she walked over to me.

"I'm Rose," she said.

"Hi, Rose, I'm Sam."

"So," Rose said. "You are going to be the first human guardian huh?" She looked me up and down and then shrugged. "Well, I hope you like to fight and run, because you are going to train harder here than you have ever trained in your life."

"I'm prepared," I said.

She raised her eyes at me. "How long have you been training?" she asked.

"Umm… a little over three months," I said looking at the ground nervously.

"Three months?" Rose laughed. "Oh man, you are going to get your ass handed to you in group practices. And let me tell you, they are going to take pleasure in it."

Rose looked over at Lissa who had a disapproving look on her face. Rose looked back at her and shook her head. "I was not being mean," Rose said. "I was just being honest so she could be prepared."

Lissa sighed. "Well, I had better get back to my dorm, its way past curfew and we all have to be up in a few hours to get things ready for classes to begin." She walked over and hugged me. "Please don't worry. It will be great. You will see." Then she left with Rose right behind her.

I took a deep breath looking around my room for the first time. It wasn't very large, but it was nice. I had a twin bed in one corner and a desk under the window with my very own laptop on it. There was a nice reading chair and a dresser against the wall that the door was on and of course a night stand with a lamp next to the bed. My suitcases and been placed near the foot of my bed and boxes were stacked on the wall next to my desk. Since it was technically my morning and I wasn't the least bit tired I decided to start unpacking, of course I couldn't help but think that soon, this would be my night.

A few hours later all I of my belongings was out of there boxes and scattered around the room. I had gotten my bedding out and made my bed and all of my clothes were put away, but I still had a lot of things I needed to find places for. I decided I wanted to find where the bathroom was and take a quick shower and brush the nasty off my teeth. I grabbed my shower things and walked out into the hall.

A woman who looked to be in her late 30s looked up as I emerged from my room. She had a puzzled look on her face. I smiled at her trying to hide my nerves from her. It's the first time I had actually been out of my room and without Lissa; I wasn't so sure I could do it. For some reason, she had a very calming effect on me. Something I really didn't understand.

"Can I help you with something," she said getting up and walking over to me. "Oh, yeah, actually, where are the showers?" I asked.

Recognition flashed in her eyes and she smiled at me. "You must be Samantha," she said extending her hand. "Umm…Sam," I said taking her hand. She nodded and pointed me in the direction of the showers.

I don't think I had ever been so happy to stand under hot water in my life. My muscles were really sore and I was really stressed. It was a great way for me to clear my head. I couldn't help but wonder what the school would be like when everyone was out and about and if vampires were like normal people were. I mean Lissa was great, Rose seemed really grumpy, but I assumed that was because we had woke her up. The guards seemed okay once I stopped fighting them. I just really hoped I would fit in and make a few friends. I just wanted to find a place to be happy.

I had barely gotten back to my room when there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see Rose standing there ready to start her day. She tilted her head a little taking me in. "Well, are you going to let me in?" she asked.

"Oh, sorry, yes, please come on in." She looked around my room for a second and then turned around. "Well, aren't you going to get ready?"

I looked at her quite confused. That seemed to be happening a lot, but seeing as how my life just seemed to take an extraordinary turn in a direction I never thought it would take, I think I was allowed to have some confused moments.

"Get ready for what?" I asked.

"Well, I figure if you are up, you might as well come to the gym with me and get some extra training in before you get your butt kicked tomorrow."

I thought about it for a second and decided that Rose was just trying to be nice, but she was just the type of person who really didn't know how to sound nice. So I nodded. "Yeah, just give me like two minutes to throw my clothes on," I said heading to my dresser. Rose walked over to my bed and plopped down flipping through one of my books. It was a little awkward having her there while I was changing, but I didn't want to be rude, so I just hurried up and changed. She looked up as I walked over to the chair to put my shoes on. "You really need to put your hair back in a pony or bun or something. Things can get kind of intense." I nodded at her and grabbed a hair tie from my desk and put my hair into a messy bun. "Okay," I said. "I'm ready."

Rose actually smiled and hurried out of my room. I followed close behind her nerves kicking in again. We walked silently down the hall. A few other people were emerging from their rooms and all stared at me like I had two heads. "Well, this is going to be fun," I thought. Rose looked back at me and must have picked up on how I was feeling. "Don't worry about anyone around here. There are a bunch of jerks, but if you stick with me, you will meet all the really cool people," she said looping her arm around mine. I felt a rush of happiness surge through me. I felt like I was already finding a place here. I felt like I could actually be really happy here, even if I was surrounded by vampires.
