I woke up to the sound of both my alarm going off as well as my phone. I reached across my bed to turn off my alarm before answering my phone. "Hello?" I asked groggily. It was five o-clock in the morning, no one should have been calling me at this time unless it was important.

"Rose?"

"Yes, who is this?" I recognized the voice on the other end of he line but I was too tired to put a name to it.

"It's your father. Where are you right now?"

"I'm in bed. I was sleeping. Is something wrong?" I sat up in bed and rubbed away the sleep from my eyes, I was instantly more awake.

"Yes, I just got news the Victor has escaped from prison." I gasped.

"How? When?"

"No one knows how yet but they think it was a few hours ago. I'll be coming back to the academy. God knows what that man will do now that he's out on his own."

"Okay, then I guess I'll see you soon. I need to go check on Lissa. Bye."

"Bye kizm." I quickly got out of bed and got dressed in leggings and a sweater and a pair of sneakers before making my way towards the moroi dorms. Once I reached Lissa's door I gently knocked on it. After a few minutes of consistent knocking I heard footsteps approaching the door. Lissa opened the door with an annoyed glare plastered on her face. Once she saw it was me it turned into a look on worry.

"Rose, is something wrong?" I just nodded my head and walked into her room. We both sat on her bed.

"Lissa…Victor escaped." She gasped and held her small pale hand to her open mouth.

"That's…oh god…when?"

"A few hours ago, no one knows how yet." I took her small hand in mine making her look right into my eyes. "I want you to call Christian and get him over here, okay? I don't want you alone at any time. Day or night. I have practice with Dimitri, I'll tell him and we will get something sorted out for you with Kirova." She nodded her head and grabbed her phone from my night stand and called Christian. After a few moments of silence she spoke up.

"Christian, it's me."

"Yes…I need you to come to my room right now, it's important."

"Okay, bye. I love you." She hug up and looked at me. "He's on his way." I nodded my head approvingly but stayed seated on her bed. I wasn't leaving her until Christian got here. After only a few minutes of waiting there was finally a knock on her door. I got up and opened up before Lissa had the chance to. When Christian saw me he seemed confused.

"Rose? What are you doing here?"

"I'm just leaving now. I just needed to make sure you got here before I left." I took a step closer and whispered in his ear. "Don't leave her alone. I want you to stay with her, if you can't, get Eddie to take your place. Got it?" I took a step back and saw him node his head. Finally, Lissa came up from behind me. "Well, I'll leave you too alone. Call me if you need me, I'll see you soon Lissa." As I walked down to the gym I checked my phone. I was fifteen minutes late. When I finally arrived, all I had to do was take one look at Dimitri's stiff posture and I knew that he had heard about Victor. "When did you hear?" I asked as my way of greeting. He seemed confused but answered me anyway.

"About a half hour ago. When and how did you hear?"

"About the same. Abe called me. He going to come here, bring some extra guardians as well." He nodded his head.

"How are you holding up Roza?" He asked as he walked forward and put his arms around me.

"I'm okay, I guess. I'm worried for Lissa though. We both know she's the one Victor wants."

"We should go talk to Kirova, see if we can get her some extra guardians." I nodded my head. We broke apart and silently made our way to Kirova's office. Once we stood outside her door Dimitri knocked twice.

"Come in." We heard her muffled voice call out from the other side of the door. Dimitri opened the door for me to walk through and closed it once he walked through behind me. She looked up as we walked in. Her dark eyes analyzing us. "Rosemarie, Guardian Belikov. What can I do for the two of you?" She sat up straighter in her chair and motioned for us to both take a seat in front of her desk. Once we were both seated Dimitri spoke up.

"Headmistress. I don't doubt that you have heard about Victor Daskov's escape,"

"Why yes, I just heard."

"Well, Rosemarie and I were both concerned about princess Dragomir's safety. We all know that she is the one that Victor want's. No doubt at some point he will try to get her again."

"Yes, I was actually thinking that perhaps for the time being I could assign her some extra Guardians. Does that sound like a good idea to you Guardian Belikov?"

"Yes, we came her to propose that idea to you."

"Well good, I'm glad we have this matter settled." Kirova then looked over at me.

"Rosemarie, I know that you were close with Victor and that during his last attack he meddled with you by putting a charm on you to attack guardian Belikov. Because of this I believe that he may make contact with you. If he does, you need to tell me or Guardian Belikov right away." I nodded my head in understanding. "Good. You two are dismissed now." Dimitri and I both got up and left her office. Once we were further away and walking around outside I spoke up.

"So, Comrade, any predictions?" He shook his head.

"All I know is that he's not done with you or Vasalisa yet. I want you to be cautious Rose. If he makes contact with you, come to me."

"Don't worry, I will." He looked around then pulled me to a secluded spot around the corner of the building. He gently put his hand on my cheek and kissed me softly.

"Be carful Roza." I leaned forward and kissed him back.

"I will Dimitri. Don't worry about me." The corners of his lips turned upward.

"I can't help it. You're a magnet for danger." I laughed.

"Don't I know it." We pulled apart and started walking towards the gym.

"We don't have much time left but we can still get some training in."

"Sounds good to me." With that we silently made out way to the gym in hopes of having a peaceful training session.
