From a distance I could hear someone calling my name. I knew I had to get Rose inside before someone saw her. If Rose gets caught
breaking the rules again, Headmistress Kirova will definitely kick her out of the academy. Part of me, the guardian side, the side that was
always in control. Knew to let Rose go to her room. The other part of me, the side that loses control, the side Rose brings out in me,
didn't want to let her go! When I saw Rose reach for the door, my control slipped slightly, I gripped her shoulder, spun her around and
lightly pressed my lips to hers. As the intensity of the kiss began to change, I started to regain some control. I pulled away and
whispered "ya vizshu tebya vo sne" (I'll see you in my dreams.) As I walked away, I glanced over my shoulder to see the door closing
behind her. While I watched her leave, I became conscious about how lucky I was, lucky to have someone as beautiful as Rose in my
life . Once again I heard my name, just then Guardian Alto walked around the corner. "There you are!" he said, giving me an inquisitive
look. " I heard you shouting my name." I replied. "Is there something wrong Alto?" " No, nothings wrong Belikov, Alberta asked me to
come find you, she needs to speak with you in her office. You can go see her now, I'm taking over your shift, Stan answered. "Thanks
Alto" I said as I walked across the Quad.
I arrived at Alberta's office, the door was open. Alberta was sitting at her desk, deep in thought when she looked up, noticing
me standing in the doorway. Her tone was tranquil when she spoke. "Come in Dimitri, sit down," motioning toward the chair in front of
her desk. Making my way across the room I heard her clear her throat. "I'm sure you are curious as to why I needed to speak with you,"
she said. Seems as though the Queen needs and extra guardian for a couple of days. All the preparatory arrangements have been taken
care of. The plane will arrive this morning. You will be leaving after your training session with Rose. If you need more time to gather your
belongings, I could have another guardian take over your training for this morning also. " No, that won't be necessary, I'll have plenty of
time to be ready," I answered. "Dimitri, there is on more bit of information I need to convey to you, Lord Ivashkov with be traveling to
court with you also. Being aware of your feelings toward Lord Ivashkov, do you foresee there being a problem?" Alberta questioned. "No,"
I said with a mischievous look on my face. Alberta looked at me and laughed " Dimitri, try not to forget Adrian is the Queen's great
nephew, I'm not sure she would like it if you threw him off the plane. I'm pretty sure she would imprison you for a very long time." Alberta
paused for a minute then winked at me and said. "Well you better go get your things together, I wouldn't want you being late for your
practice with Rose." I just nodded my head, laughed and walked out of her office. Taking my time getting to the guardian dorms, I found
myself thinking of Rose. I've gotten so used to seeing her beautiful face everyday, it's practically going to kill me to go 2 days without
her. The only satisfaction I'm getting from this whole trip, is I know that asshole Ivashkov won't be here hitting on Rose while I'm gone.
Instead he will be with me having that long over due chat I've been meaning to have with him. Making my way through
the corridor to my room I realized this trip will also give me some time to think about this whole situation with Rose. Despite the fact mine
and Rose's relationship is complicated I'm starting to believe things just might work out.

I can't believe I'm actually going to leave him. Laying here thinking about that kiss with Dimitri. Knowing I would never kiss him again, it
was breaking a part of me, a part that will never be fixed. I didn't know how much time I had left with him. Once I meet with Kirova she
could have me transferred within hours. I don't want to feel sorry for myself, I have to do this for him, but sometimes I'd like to ask god
why I have to give up everything I love! Sitting up in bed , I wiped away the silent tears. I glanced over at the clock, took a deep breath
and said to myself , it's almost time. I was feeling anxious, my stomach felt like it was tied in knots. I knew if I didn't calm down, Kirova
would become suspicious. I changed my clothes and pulled my hair into a ponytail. I needed to look presentable if I wanted her to take
me seriously. Taking in a deep breath, I reached for the door. Walking out of the room I thought to myself, " Dimitri, please
forgive me for what I'm about to do!" I made my way across the Quad to Kirova's office. I entered through the double doors, stopping in
front of the receptionist desk. The receptionist looked shocked to see me, she fumbled over her words a little than spoke, " Miss
Hathaway, what a surprise, what can I do for you?" she asked. In a very polite tone, nothing like my normal demeanor, I said. "Would it
be possible to speak with Headmistress Kirova for a few minutes?" Gesturing toward the empty chairs in the reception area she said. "Just
have a seat I'll go check with the Headmistress to see if she has time to meet with you." As she re-entered the reception area she said,
"Headmistress said to send you right in."
Feeling a little nervous, I traipsed into Kirova's office. Sitting at her desk, she looked up at me with no expression on her face. "What
can I do for you Miss Hathaway? She asked. "I was hoping to talk to you about getting some more training. Please don't miss understand
me, Guardian Belikov, is a fantastic mentor and one of the best guardians I know. It's just we can anticipate each others moves, because
our fighting skills are the same. I thought if I had a new mentor, I could learn some new maneuvers, it would help me be a better
guardian." I explained. "Rose,"she said. "I'm sure one of the other guardians would love to train you." "I'm sorry Headmistress, I guess I
should have been more clear." I replied. My heart was in my throat. I was having trouble fighting back the tears, when I said. "I would
like to be transferred to another academy ,but if it wouldn't be to much trouble I would still like to graduate here at St. Vladimirs."
Kirova's jaw almost hit the floor. "Rose is this what you want to do?" She questioned. " Yes" I answered "I have thought about this
endlessly." The next thing she said surprised me. Kirova smiled at me, shook her head and said. "Rose, you have grown up a great deal in
these last few months, you have shown me exactly what kind of guardian you are capable of being. If this is what you really want to do,
I can certainly try to arrange it for you. Just give me some time to make a few phone calls. You are welcome to wait here while I make
the arrangements." Kirova only had to make two phone calls and it was done. I will be transferring to St. Augustine's in Arizona. "When
will I be leaving?" I asked. "You will be leaving in two days, so you better get packing." She answered. "I will let your teachers an
Guardian Belikov know you are transferring." She said. "NO!" I screaming, "I'm sorry Headmistress, I didn't mean to raise my voice, it's
just everyone who needs to know I'm leaving already does. I just don't want to deal with all the questions and aggravation." She looked
puzzled as to why I would care what people think about me, because lets face it, I never really gave a damn what people thought about
me around here. She must have seen the desperation in my face, because she looked at me and said, "Of course Rose, what ever makes
this easier on you." "Thank you," I said, as I began to leave the room. Just then Kirova stopped me, "Rose, you are one of the best
novices we have here at St. Vladimir's, you will be greatly missed. If you get to St. Augustine's and realize you made a mistake, you are
welcome to return here to St. Vladimir's." I turned and smiled at Kirova, I nodded my head in acknowledgment and walked out the door. It
was almost time for practice with Dimitri. I had a change of clothes in my locker at the gym, so there was no need for me to go back to
my room. Dimitri probably wouldn't be at the gym yet, so I'll just change and go run some laps. When I walked into the gym, much to my
surprise there he was, all 6'7" inches of his perfect body leaning against the back wall!
