Chapter two
Rose seemed to despise me after our encounter. And even more when I seen her and Valissa whispering to each other, Rose now being sober, and had them seperated.
"Don't let them talk to each other. Five minutes together, and they'll come up with an escape plan." I told the guardian with Rose. She shot me a death glare, which proved me right. They probably already had one halfway in motion.
I didn't relax until we were in the air. I knew then that there was almost no possible way for the girls to escape, and I decided it best not to sit by Rose. Instead I took a seat next to the Princess, and stole a few glances at Rose. She looked mad, really mad. And maybe even a little crazy, for her face would go completely blank out of no where for a moment. I reached up to grab my bottle of water. I took a sip, and then for once I let my curiosity get the best of me. i stood, and traded with Rose's guardian, who went to sit by Valissa.
Rose made a show of turning away from me. She was being rude, but from what I had understood so far was that she protected the Princess no matter what, so i couldn't find her to terrible. Yet, anyways.
"Were you really going to attack all of us?"
No answer. Not like I excpected one. I really surprised myself when I voiced my thoughts, "Doing that...protecting her like that- it was very brave." I took in a breath, wondering what kind of reatcion I would get out of her, and continued,"Stupid, but still brave. Why would you even try it?"
She turned and looked me in the eye and simply said,"Because I'm her guardian." before turning back to the window.
I wanted to say something that told her how I admired how protective she was. I wanted to ask her why she was so protective toward the Princess. And then again, I would have loved to point out to her that I was infact her guardian, and that she hasn't graduated, so she isn't even a gaurdian. But instead of acting like she would have, or getting her all upset about this or that, I stood and returned to the front of the jet until the plane landed.
I took the girls to the vehichle, knowing that at this point escape was not an option anymore. We drove, and after passing the guards stationed at the wall, we got out to the upper schools quad, all the while a plan spinning in my head. Headmistress Kirova had told me not to go easy on them, and I wasn't going to. I had the perfect plan that would show hem not to run off.
As we were walking, Rose ran up to me. "Hey, Comrade."
Comrade? Where had that come from? And why was she talking to me now?
I din't look at her when i said,"You want to talk now?"
"Are you taking us to Kirova?"
"Headmistress Kirova." I corrected her. It didn't phase her, and I was quickly learning that she always had a smart mouth along with her additude.
"Headmistress. Whatever. She's still a self-righteous old bit-" her word cut off as she realized what I had done to them.
I, along with the other guardians, led them through the cafeteria, and as soon as every one had seen who had entered, all talking ceased. And all the eyes were on them. Rose smiled, pretending not to care, I assume. She wasn't fooling me.
As we came out of the commons and into Headmistress' Kirova office, all of the other guardians left except for myselft and Alberta. The girls sat, and The headmistress was about to begin her lecture when someone interuped.
"Valissa."
I looked over and seen who it was, Prince Victor Dashkov. I have a great amount of respect for him, seeing as a desease was killing him, slowly and painfully. He still lived, as normal as possible, and he was so young. Maybe forty. Pity filled me but i kept my face strait as Valissa and his reunion continued.
"Uncle..." Valissa hugged him, and I was almost shocked he didn't break.
"You have no idea how glad I am to see you safe, Valissa. And you to, Rose." He said, turning toward Rose. His hand were shaking, and I had the urge to tell him to relax and sit down. But I needed not, because Headmistress Kirova had both of them sit back down so she could begin speaking.
"You, Miss Hathaway, broke the most sacred promise amoung our kind: the promise of a guardian to protect a Moroi. It is a great trust. A trust that you violated by selfishly taking the princess away from here. The Strigoi would love to finish off the Dragimors; you nearly enabled them to do it."
"Rose didn't kidnaped me." Valissa piped up. I had thought her to be a quiet person, trying to keep peace. Now she was putting the blame on herself. "I wanted to go. Don't blame her."
"Miss Dragimor, you could have been the one who orchestrated the entire plan for all I know, but it was still her responsibility to mak esure you didn't carry it out. If she'd done her duty, she would have notified some one. If she'd done her duty, she would have kept you safe."
I looked at Rose, and I thought I seen something in her body let loose. What she shouted next proved that point.
"I did do my duty!" she had jumped out of the chair now, and I flinched. "I did keep her safe! I kept her safe when none of you could do it! I took her away to protect her. I did what i had to do. You certainly weren't going to."
The headmistress kept her face black when she said,"Miss Hathaway, forgive me if I fail to see the logic of how taking her out of a heavily guarded, magically secured environment is protected. Unless there's something you're not telling us?"
I looked at Rose, and noticed the princess did the same. Hm. She bit her lip and didn't say anything. And thats when I knew exactly what was going on. While my mind was turning, they continued to argue. I wasn't listening. Somethin about Valissa staying and Rose being expelled. I was coming up with what could keep them both here.
"Or maybe you're going to to try and send me off to be a blood whore. Try that, and we'll be gone by the end of the day." Rose was saying when I tuned back in.
"Miss Hathaway, you are out of line."
"They have a bond." I said, speaking for the first time. "Rose knows what Valissa is feeling. Don't you?"
Rose didn't answer, but Headmistress Kirova did. "No...thats imprssible. That hasn't happened in centuries."
I kept on, knowing I was right. "Its obvious. I suspected as soon as i started watching them."
So on and on it went. i couldn't believe I was trying to protect the girl, to keep her here. She meant nothing to me. Just another kid. But still, something said I had to keep her here.
"So give her extra training sessions." I was saying.
"Whose going to put in the extra time? You?" the headmistress said. That certainly backed me down.
"Well thats not what I-" I was cut off. Headmistress Kirova said something, but i looked at Rose. She had a hope on her face...something I couldn't ignore.
"Yes. I can mentor Rose. I'll give her extra sessions along with her normal ones." I couldn't believe what I was getting into. They argued Rose's punishment some more. I was still studying her. And as my mind processed her, I began to think. She needed me. And I had no clue what to do about it.
Roses words broke me out of my thoughts. "Fine. I accept."
At least things were settled for now.
