The hours passed and at last, there was the graduation ceremony. I sat scanning seeing the excited and happy faces of my fellow classmates. Granted there was some whispering and glances my way since the news of Dimitri and me had somehow leaked out. Other than that, I remained what I was supposed to be invisible.

When it was time for the ceremony began, I stood to the side wearing my newly acquired black slacks, white blouse, and black jacket. I absently touched the back of my neck where I could feel my newly acquired molnija mark. The one that I had required for killing him.

Then I hear her name being called "Vasilisa Dragomir" Lissa walked up to the podium smiling. The headmistress continued, " You have been assigned to Ethan Shaw." I felt the mixture of happiness and sadness in the bond. I glanced at Adrian he smiled at me and looked back up to the podium.

Soon it was over and loud cheers could be heard. Everyone went to the gym, but I didn't want to celebrate instead, I climbed up to the roof and looked over the grounds and smelled the fresh summer air.

" Hello little Daphmire."

" Hey Adrian." I smelled the familiar cigarette smoke and wrinkled my nose.

" I know bad habitat."

" Whatever keeps you sane."

" Since when have you started to care about my sanity." He said sarcastically.

" Since I became your guardian." He moved next to me and put his hand on my shoulder, I flinched. He moved his hand away.

" Do you want to talk about it." I shook my head " Not yet."

" Well I'll be here when you need me." He gave me a small smile " Sleep well little Daphmire." He winked and went back to the party.

I could see the sun coming up making the sky light up in pinks and purples.

I thought about what he said 'IT' he had said. I don't know when I would talk about it or if I would even tell Adrian about it. Who knows only time would tell. I yawned and headed to my room.
