I own nothing. I'm going to let Dimitri come out first in the next chapter, not this one, along with lover boy Adrian. -girls screams- …I own nothing, except Samantha, and Julie.

Chapter 3: Why not?

"Everything seems in order Ms. Hathaway." Dr. Burns said checking on my blood pressure and my health chart. He made some notes on them then turned to Samantha who watched patiently. "She can't do anything that involves using that arm for awhile."

"Ok." She nodded at him as he made his way to me.

He inspected my cast thoroughly then turned to me. "She can have this taken off in about…a week or so, but after that, she has to take it easy for about another week." More like in a few days. Being a dhampir, I have moroi blood in me that allows my body to heal faster than others.

"So no exercise?" I asked. And by that, I meant dhampir training.

He shook his head. "Not unless you want to shatter your arm."

"Fine." I agreed. "But I can still use my left right?"

He nodded. "Just don't break that one too." I nodded. He got up and walked over to Samantha. "She can leave tomorrow." Samantha nodded.

He walked out of the room which left me and my assistant/bodyguard alone.

I groaned and leaned back on the bed. She scoffed. "It's not that bad." she said.

I gave her a glare. "Right," I countered. "It's a piece of cake being a dhampir who is trained to fight, but can't even train because of a broken arm!"

"Is everything ok in here?" Julie walked in. She's Samantha's assistant and my babysitter. She has black-brown hair like me, and close to black eyes. She turned her attention to me.

"Everything's fine." I groan. "Except I have to go back to St. Vlad's tomorrow."

She rolled her eyes. "It's not that bad."

"Yes it is!" I shouted. "I can't go back!"

"Why?" The two of them asked.

I groaned. "Because…I just can't."

Julie frowned at me. "You got a call yesterday from Lissa." She takes out my cell phone from her pocket and hands it to me. "She left a message."

I checked my voice mail and listened to it.

"Rose," she began. "Please come back! We need you back here! It's not the same without you! Rose!-"

I hung up after the last 'Rose.'

I sighed. "Fine I'll go back."

She took back my phone and walked back. Samantha stayed back.

"Six o' clock sharp" she said. I nodded.

I laid back down on the bed and faced the wall.

There are three reasons why I can't go back to the academy.

One: I couldn't protect Lissa from losing her family.

Two: I can't train as a dhampir anymore.

And three: If I go back, I might forget about the real reason I left, which is, I'm probably the most dangerous person to her if I ever go near her again.

Review. I'm only asking for 5 this time since I really like this story, and this is one of my most original ideas.
