Chapter 3
CHRISTIAN POV
I fumed as I sat in class; I still couldn't believe it. I was here, stuck in class, tugging irritably at the collar of my school shirt.
'This is ridiculous; I...I, Lissa is in danger, and I cannot help her.' I thought furiously. 'This just isn't...They're sending only Rose and Dimitri Belikov to find her. Are they really being so trivial about it; treating it as a...a exam of sorts, as Rose's Guardian Graduation exam.'
That was something that indeed irked me more than anything else. That and the fact that, perhaps due to that, I was being excluded from the rescue.
I sighed sadly as I considered this. 'It's...It's possible Rose has a point, in what she said, but still, why must they be so...narrow-minded about it. Just give me a chance, I know I can help.'
I was certain; yes Rose had a point, I had been worked up and would likely have caused trouble. But only at first, given a chance to calm down, I knew I would and would be able to help. But I was never given the chance, all because it seemed the staff at the Academy were viewing this as little more than a test for Rose, while Lissa's life hung in the balance.
I couldn't help but believe that Rose's response to me when I tried to explain that sounded too much like an excuse.
'Honestly, feeling they are the best chance...they are only two people, two people can't possibly be enough.' I continued my angry inner monologue. 'There must be something I can do, there has to be something to do. I can't just leave this after all. But, but nobody would honestly listen to me, all because I'm an Ozera.'
I normally brushed aside the prejudices against my family; but now, right when I really needed people to listen to me, as I tried to plead his case, it was the greatest hindrance. Running a hand through my hair, I stood up as class ended and joined the throng of students, all of them were gossiping and it grated on my nerves. Their main topic for gossip after all was the 'disappearance' of Lissa and Jill.
I glowered harshly at that. 'Don't they have anything better to do that talk about it, like it's some, side show and not a matter of life or death?'
It was then I spotted someone else who at least wasn't taking part in the gossip. A familiar face, Eddie Castille; instead, much like me, Eddie was tense and looked frustrated.
I pondered for a moment, surprised by this.
'I never imagined he would-wait a minute.' I then remembered. 'Eddie was getting close to Jill, closer than friends, a relationship was forming...I wonder.'
I couldn't help but feel for the young man, as I had a strong feeling he knew what Eddie was feeling. I knew after all, if what Eddie was feeling for Jill was anything like what I felt for Lissa, then at this exact moment, he was likely just as frustrated as I felt.
However I didn't approach Eddie, not yet anyway, I had no way of knowing the truth about what Eddie was thinking and feeling. Better not to make assumptions, and wait till I had facts. Unfortunately I knew that Eddie backing me up wouldn't make that much difference either sadly.
'Honestly, I can just picture the two of us trying to convince people to listen, an Ozera and a disgraced 'controversial' Guardian Novice...Not exactly the sort of people others would listen to, or care about.'
With a heavy sigh I continue onwards, still musing. Despite these obstacles, I knew we couldn't afford to give up, for Lissa's sake, and Jill's. However that did not mean I did not face any obstacles that could be seen to be insurmountable; there was one thing that did trouble me greatly after all.
Even as I was thinking about the issues Eddie and I possibly shared, My thoughts about my desire to save Lissa. But there was one stumbling block; namely if Lissa would even appreciate my help.
'After all, we're, it's not like we're still together. That fight we had, now we're no longer...' I thought sadly.
Our fight had been hard and now I was left unsure; but even so, she wouldn't really worry about me saving her, regardless of their relationship status. But it was after that, so many things that could cause issues and leave them in an even more complicated matters.
In the end however, I made up his mind. 'It doesn't matter, none of it does. Regardless of how Lissa feels, I cannot deny I still love her and want to help her somehow. I need to help her, I just don't know how.'
I knew that, no matter what, I wanted Lissa safe, I wanted her back safely.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
