Hi everybody! Wow! 2 updates in one day Well, here it is!This chapter is in mostly Blake's POV. Some Dimitri as well! I'm sick of disclaimers they annoy me. So this applies to every chapter in this story. I own nothing except Blake, who I'm beginning to REALLY like!

BPOV

When I arrive for training Rose isn't there. I wait around for about fifteen minutes before deciding I'll go get her myself. When I finally locate her room, after several close calls, (who knew Miles was gay?) the door is open.

"Rose?" I call. No answer. I enter her room and don't see her around. I sit down on the bed and look around. It's a fairly ordinary room, I suppose. Some pictures of Vasilisa, her bond mate and a red haired boy are on the walls. I take a closer look when my foot bumps a box. It looks like a chest but smaller. Frowning, I open it. Inside is a duster, too big for Rose, and a western novel. There is also a necklace. It looks expensive. I pick up the book and have a look at it. I hate westerns, they all speak funny. I'm just about to put it back down when a letter slips out. It's handwritten and has 'Roza' on the front. I hesitate, I don't want to pry into Rose's private business but I'm extremely curious. I unfold the letter.

Roza,

I'm sorry, I 'm so, so sorry. This wasn't my fault. I didn't want to go, I promise. I'll miss you. We're forbidden to see, or talk to each other. Well, I am. When you graduate, come to where I am. I understand if you don't want me anymore, I'm hurting you. But I hope you still love me, I know I love you. With all my heart. I'm being called to go now and I miss you already. I'll be back someday. I promise.

Love Comrade.

P.S You were right, I love that nickname.

Wow, a love letter. And Rose hadn't read it yet! Who's Comrade? I wonder. I'm surprised at the letter, but I'm more shocked at the feelings it causes. I'm... angry and bitter. But most of all I'm jealous. My God, I think I have a crush on my student. This sets a new low, even for me. What would Kayla think? She'd be shaking her head and laughing at me.

Kayla. I miss her, I miss my sister. But I wasn't strong enough, wasn't fast enough. But I was faster after they snapped her neck. I was stronger after they threw her broken body to the ground. They didn't last long. The marks are proof of that. I'm shaken out of my thoughts when I hear a scream from the bathroom. I rush in to see Rose lying on the floor, blood streaming out of her arms. A pair of scissors lies next to her.

"I didn't mean to! I didn't mean to cut that deep, I don't want to die!" she says, hysterically. I'm horrified. She cuts herself. I can't move but another groan motivates me. I have to get her to the medical centre. She screams again and her eyes roll back in her head. I pick her up in my arms and run to the medical centre.

"God, someone help her!" I yell. Dr Olendski's eyes go wide as she takes in the scene. She picks up Rose and looks at her wrists. She sucks in her breath.

" These are deep. She wanted to fall unconscious." She says.

"No, when I heard her she was screaming about not meaning to cut that deep. She didn't want to kill herself." I say frantically. I look down and see the box still with me. I hold it up to Dr Olendski.

"Any thoughts?" I ask her. She looks in the box, and seeing everything her face softens. She scans the letter and her face is shocked.

"She only called one person Comrade." Dr Olendski mused. "I kind of understand now." Her face is concerned and she glances back at Rose.

"Who?" I ask jealously. She picked up on it and smiled.

"Rose was always good at attracting the opposite sex. Maybe a little too pretty for her own sake." My face goes red. Stupid, stupid Blake. I always fall for the wrong girls. As Rose is tended to, I call Janine Hathaway. She'll want to hear about this, I'm sure.

"Janine speaking,"

"Ja- uh, Guardian Hathaway, it's Guardian Johnson here. Rose, well, you had better see for yourself. We're at the medical centre."

"I'm coming" her voice is frantic. I hear a soft moan and turn to see Rose trying to sit up. I push her back down.

"Your mother's coming. She's worried." Her face contorts.

"The last time she visited me, she was the one who'd landed me here." She says. Her tone is sulky. "What's that?" She points to the letter.

"Oh, this is yours. It came out of your western book." She looks angry. "It happened by accident. Nice coat by the way." She points to the letter. Her hands are trembling.

"Give me that." She says and I hand it over. She reads it, over and over and when she puts it down there are tears sparkling in her eyes. "He did care, after all." She whispers.

"Who is he?" I ask. She looks up at me, half dazed.

"He's-"It was at that exact moment Janine Hathaway burst in.

"Rose, who hurt you? I swear to God whoever did this won't be alive by the end of the day!" Janine Hathaway is terrifying. I actually fear for my life, and I'm not who hurt her. Oh, God, remind me not to get on the sharp, pointy end of that stick.

"I hurt myself, Mom. I'm the one who did this. I'm turning into Lissa." Rose says calmly. Janine's eyes widen.

"Why?"

"The physical pain was more bearable than the mental pain. And I should think it would be glaringly obvious who caused me to do this." Rose said.

"He made you do this?" Janine asks incredulously. Rose nods. The strangest expression crosses Janine's face. It's a guilty, unhappy expression like she did this instead of Mystery Guy. Janine dials a number on her phone. She speaks quickly, pausing only momentarily. Curious, I try to tune in, but the only words I catch are him, hurt and back. I look at Rose.

"Can I go? Do you need anything else?" I ask. She shakes her head and I make my goodbyes and head up to my room. I decide to go through the file one last time. Eventually I find some photos I had missed. I look closely. My God. What the hell is this? What the hell is going on?

DPOV

I'm in Russia, in St Petersburg. The sky is dark; its night. I missed this city but I wish I could see it under different circumstances.I'm shadowing Abe closely when his phone rings. As he talks to whoever it is his expression grows ever more displeased. Eventually he hangs up and mutters to himself crossly. He turns to me and eyes me menacingly.

"Right Beli-"His words are cut off by something.

Strigoi.

Uh oh! Not good. But Dimka will survive. Right? Mwah hah hah. Anyways, poor Kayla; they'll be more on her next chappie! As well as Rose and Blake. Lissa will be in it too. Or maybe not. I can't think of a surprise. PLEASE GIVE ME IDEAS! I'll update probs Monday.
