Heya!! Here's the next chapter
By the way I gave Mia and Eddie longer names cause I thought that they might actually have longer names in real life.
So this is what I came up with
Eddie = Edmund
Mia = Amelia
Lol
I own nothing
Chapter 2
There were over 900 students at St Vladimir's Academy. Out of all those students, Rose had to be one of the five to go missing.
'Okay, this is the information we have so far on the missing students.' Alberta said. Most of the guardians were together in a room that we were using to gather information on finding the students. I was more worried about Rose than any of the other guardians were worried about anything. 'The student's names are Amelia Rinaldi, Christian Ozera, Edmund Castile, Mason Ashford and Rosemarie Hathaway. That's pretty much all we have. Does anyone think they know anything about these kids' disappearances before we start questioning other students?'
'I think we can all agree on one thing.' Guardian Stan Alto said. 'Rose Hathaway is definitely the ring leader in this.'
Many of the others nodded their heads and made murmurs of agreements. I could understand why they all thought Rose was the person who organised the other's to run away from the ski lodge. She had taken Lissa away from the academy for two years. She got into fights at school and had very low impulse control. But since I had been training her, she really had matured. I had a feeling there was something serious about why those kids had left. Rose didn't just do things without a good reason. No matter how reckless she was.
'I don't think Rose was the one who planned whatever it is they're doing.' I said.
Most people shook they're heads. 'We'll know more when Guardian Denz wakes up.' Alberta said.
Thankfully, he came in after a few minutes. He was bombarded with questions almost right away.
'I was waiting for my shift to end.' He started. 'Rose Hathaway and Christian Ozera came up to me. I think Christian tried to use compulsion on me to let them out, but it didn't work so Rose picked up a Maglite and probably hit me on the head with it because that's all I remember.'
'See? Rose definitely tried to organise it. She hit Guardian Denz on the head with a Maglite!' Stan said.
'Good God. My daughter is the most irresponsible person on the planet. When I get my hands on that girl.....' Janine Hathaway said.
'We don't know that for sure. And we shouldn't be jumping to conclusions until we have enough information. We don't even know how the other three got out.' I pointed out, still completely sure Rose wasn't the leader of the escape.
'I know how they got out.' Guardian Alan said. Many heads turned his way.
'Yeah me too.' Said another guardian that I didn't know the name of.
'How?' about half the people in the room asked. Why hadn't they said anything earlier?
'We let them out.' Alan answered. His bemused expression sent shivers down my spine. He said it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
'You let three students outside of the wards after the recent attack on the Drozdov's? Why?' Alberta asked.
'They asked us to.' Replied the other guardian. I immediately knew what was wrong with that answer.
'Compulsion! Mia used compulsion on them.' I exclaimed. Compulsion was utterly forbidden and Mia had used it on two guardians for unknown reasons. She was going to be in a lotof trouble.
Many conversations started about why the kids would resort to using compulsion on guardians to get outside of the wards. Some part of me, deep down, felt like I knew the answer. But I just couldn't put my finger on it.
Some of the guardians had gone to a nearby bus station and asked the man at the counter if he had seen any teenagers. Unfortunately, he hadn't so we still had no leads as to where the students had disappeared to. But that had to be where they went.
After a while, we moved out to question some of the students and other people who had seen the missing kids. We knew that Rose and Christian had left several hours after the other three. I suspected they knew what Mia, Eddie and Mason were up to and had gone to look for them.
Janine, Rose's mum and respectable guardian, was coming with me to "interview" Lissa. Everyone seemed to think she'd know where the others were since Christian was her boyfriend, and Rose was her best friend and they shared a bond. I knew that it only worked one way but everyone seemed insistent that Lissa held the answers as to where they were.
As we walked to the room Lissa and Rose were staying in, Janine spoke.
'I can't see why Rose keeps leaving. Doesn't she understand that it worries people? Doesn't she see how much it worries me?' I wasn't sure if she was talking to me or thinking out loud, but I could tell she was scared for the safety of her only daughter.
'Don't worry, we'll find her.' I said. I was not going to give up until Rose was in the safety of the wards.
We didn't speak again until we reached the girl's room.
'Here goes nothing.' Janine muttered, knocking on the door.
Lissa opened it almost immediately. Her eyes were frantic and she had worry written all over her.
'Um... hi.' she stammered, obviously shocked to have us visiting her. 'If you're looking for Rose, she isn't here.'
'Yes we know that. Her and some of your other friends have gone missing and we need you to tell us where they went.' Janine said, completely formal. She stepped inside and ushered me forward.
Lissa went and sat on the bed which I assumed was hers. 'I don't know.' She said. I still wasn't sure if I completely believed her. Why would Rose go somewhere without telling her best friend?
'I know you want to protect them, but we need to know where they are.' I told her, trying my best to use a gentle tone.
Lissa looked, and sounded, frustrated. 'I told you. I don't know. I don't know what happened.'
'I can't believe they wouldn't have told where they were going.' Janine said. Her words were flat but I could see that she was worried about Rose. 'Especially with your ... bond.'
'It only works one way.' Lissa said sadly. 'You know that.'
I did know that, but I still needed to see if Lissa knew anything that could help the situation. From my experiences with Rose, I knew that teenagers didn't like to be talked down to. How much was Lissa like her best friend?
I knelt down in front of her so that we were at eye level. 'Are you sure there's nothing? Nothing at all you can tell us? They're nowhere in town. The man at the bus station didn't see them ... though we're pretty sure that's where they must have gone. We need something, anything to go on.'
Lissa gritted her teeth and glared at me. 'Don't you think if I knew, I'd tell you? You don't think I'm worried about them too? I have no idea where they are. None. And why'd they even leave ... it doesn't make any sense either. Especially why they'd go with Mia, of all people.' The end of her sentence had a bitter, hurt tone to it. She must have felt left out.
I sighed and leaned back on my heels. I was so worried about Rose and something about what Lissa said had seemed off. Especially why they'd go with Mia, of all people. Why hadn't I thought about this? Rose and Mia hated each other. What the hell was going on?
We questioned Lissa for a few more minutes, trying to find out what she had last spoken to Rose and Christian about. After finding out some embarrassing answers, we went back to the guardians to report what we knew.
Okay you want the next chapter??
R&R!!!
