Guardian Alto
Some gaurdians were rushing into a battle plan, while others were going outside to guard Moroi dorms. A few strigoi had already advanced and tried to attack the academy, but the guardians took care of them. I was guarding inside with a few other guardians. I visited Lissa and Christian who looked more frightened than me. "Its going to be ok Liss. We will obliterate them and then they won't come back", I said trying to sooth her. "But who will die Rose? You could die, Alberta could and so could Dimirti". I shivered when she said his name. I couldn't bear thinking of him in battle. He could be lying dead on the ground out there somewhere. I had to be sure. "Liss, I will be back soon. I'm going to check around the dorms and check on the battle. Christian look after her. Don't let her out of your sight", he nodded. Lissa was crying. I went over and hugged her. "I'll come back Liss, I promise you that", she nodded and I ran out of her dorm.
The night was cold as I ran through the dark. I'de had to sneak out a window because they wouldn't let me go. I felt a nausous feeling and out of nowhere, was a strigoi infront of me. He swung at me, I barely dodged it. I punched him the nose and heard a crack. He paid no attention to it. I was in trouble. Then another one joined him. A female. They both smiled and started towards me. I backed away. Out of nowhere came flames that burnt the girl strigoi. She shrieked as it hit her. I looked behind me and suprisingly, Christian stood behind me. "I told you to protect Lissa!", I shouted. He didn't have time to reply because the strigoi were making their way towards us.

"Liss, I will be back soon. I'm going to check around the dorms and check on the battle. Christian look after her. Don't let her out of your sight", he nodded. I couldn't help the tears that rolled down my eyes. Rose couldn't go out there. She ould get herself killed. She walked over to where I was crying and hugged me. "I'll come back Liss, I promise you that", I nodded feeling numb. I watched Rose run out of my dorm and broke down in tears again. Christian kisses me. "Don't cry babe. She'll be ok. She can handle herself", he tried to reasure me. And for a minute I believed that. Until I remembered how strong they were. "Christian, go help her. She can't fight them off by herself. She may be tough, but she needs your help. I can go with another guardian. I'll be safe.", I said quitely. He came over and kissed me hard. I kissed him back, with fresh tears rolling down my cheeks. He said goodbye, and ran out the door.
I walked outside to go stay with Eddie. He was nice and we had lots to talk about. I knocked on his door. He answered and smiled when he saw me. "Hey Vasilisa, what's up?", asked Eddie. He seemed happy at my arrival. "Well, with the whole strigoi attack, Rose and Christian have gone out to fight. I thought maybe I could stay here for a bit?", I babbled. His eyes had widened when I told him Rose and Christian were out there. "Sure. Stay as long as you like", he smiled. I walked in and sat on the floor. I felt very safe around him. He went to his desk and was doing homework, when the door swung open. There stood Rose, tears streaked down her eyes. "What's wrong?", I cried. I was afraid something had happened to Christian. But then he came in also crying. "What happened". Rose came up to me and hugged me. "Theres being an accident. Someone died. Lissa.. Stan is dead", I was frozen. He was a good fighter. I knew it could happen but, it just came as a shock to me. "It's over now. We won. But a couple Moroi died aswell. Most captured". My eyes widened in shock. Who had been taken?
