Wait, is this really another chapter already? Well, yes, it is.

Read this section if you are actually interested in my thoughts, and not just the story.

An interesting thought occured to me this evening. Every time I read, watch, or listen to something that teaches me a lesson about life, or makes me sit and think hard about something, or even just something that interests me extemely, it gets me writing again. It happened when I finished Alan Wake and watched The Vampire Diaries before I wrote Chapter Three, and tonight I started watching an interesting little Anime series called Kashimashi. All of this got my creativity flowing and really made me want to write. Let's hope I discover something else this week!

Special thanks to EVERYONE who reads my thoughts and doesn't just skip right to the chapter. Thanks as well to everyone who reads my stuff, you guys are great!

Disclaimer: Go read it from another chapter, I'm tired.

Chapter Four

I answered the phone with an irritated "Hello Lissa."

Her reply, obviously, was her usual cheery voice, "Hey Rose, I was wondering how things have been going, I thought you might be trying to avoid me."

Oh, now she noticed. Lissa had a habit recently of bothering me at the most inconveient times, and I was wondering if she actually did it on purpose.

"Oh, really? When did you notice this? Was it before or after I just stopped eating lunch with you and started spending my spare time in my room?"

Lissa's voice was not as cheery now, it sounded hurt and stunned, "Rose. I don't understand what you are saying."

"All I'm saying Lissa is that you are just stating the obvious. The evidence was there and you didn't notice. Look, I have other things to do. Please just go back to Christian for now."

I thought I heard her sob as I hung up and tossed the phone on to my bed, but it didn't really matter. All that mattered right now was that I had a shower and went out to talk with this guy, whoever he was.

I headed over to the bathroom and turned the shower on, stopping to grab some clean clothes from my dresser and a towel from the closet. I took clothes that were nice, but not fancy, just kind of average. That was what I hoped I could be tonight, an average person out for a coffee with an average guy. Maybe I could have one second of normality in my otherwise ridiculously dissapointing life.

After the incredibly great feeling shower, I got dressed and just as I grabbed my first book, somebody knocked on the door. I answered it to see the guy standing there with a rather average looking Dhampir standing behind him.

Surprisingly, it was the Dhampir that spoke first, "You ready?"

I looked, stunned, and answered, "Yea, sure. Why are you talking, and not him?"

He smiled, "Daniel prefers to let me do the talking whenever possible. His words, sort of escape him at times. Leaves him standing there staring at you." The Guardian laughed, "Sort of creepy until you get used to it."

I smiled, "I see. Well, We should be going then."

The Guardian chuckled, "Yes, before we do though, I think an introduction is in order." He extended his left hand, "Guardian Grissom Galverit"

I smiled and shook his hand, "Rosemarie Hathaway."

He looked at me, stunned, "Ah, the infamous Rose. I've heard a lot about you, most of it good."

I laughed, "That's a surprise. Most people have nothing good to say about me."

He smiled, "So you think. Quite a few of your teachers respect you to a fair extent compared to your peers. There was also another Guardian I met last year who said you were the best student he ever had." He paused and thought for a second, "Damnit, can't remember his name. Nice fellow though. Enough of my rambling though, should we move on?"

I nodded and left the room, locking the door behind me.

And now, for something a little different. :)

3rd Person View

Rose walked with Guardian Galverit and his charge out towards St. Vladimir's parking lot, happy to be leaving for something an average person would do. She was, however, unaware that Lissa had been on the way to see her.

Lissa had seen Rose leave the building and stood watching from a distance as she got into an older mid-sized car, black, with all the windows tinted. Lissa had no clue who this man was she was with. She had seen the Guardian before, but knew nothing of him either.

Feeling that the trip from her room had been a waste of time, she watched the car leave, and headed back.

Well, there's another quick one for you. Thanks for reading, and be sure to review! :)
