I don't own vampire academy
Ugh, I hate mornings, I think to myself as I stumble out of bed with blurry eyes and messy tangled hair. After a refreshing shower and a huge cup of strong coffee, I get dressed into my workout gear and grabbed my soft black duffle bag and run out the door. I never bother to check on Alex in the mornings anymore as he normally gets up early to hit the gym (some times literally), too early in my opinion, which he definitely got from his father not his mother.
When I arrive at one of the larger gyms I hear strange noises coming from one of the side rooms . Dropping my bag on the bench I go to investigate only to find someone at the dummy's practicing there staking. Knowing who it was I start to creep up towards them, making sure not to make any noise on the squeaky gym floor. Suddenly I sweep his feet out from beneath him and he drops like a sack of spuds. I was met with a fierce glare and that did it, I doubled over laughing.
"Shut up," spat Alex with a fierce glare on his ever handsome face.
" Aw come on. If you had seen me you would of done the exact same thing," I managed to gasp as I try to regain my breath. Raising an eyebrow he accepts my hand helping him up. We walked over towards the mats where we began to circle each other.
An hour later we both decided to give sparring a break as Alex had classes and I had guardian duty. Scraping my messy curls back in to a pony tail I make my way towards the wards. It was nice to feel the sun in my face once in a while but thanks to the nocturnal timetable that rarely happened. Not that I'm complaining, I would give everything up to protect a moroi even if that means a lack of sun light.
When Alex was around six I got offered a position at the academy teaching the novices. I immediately accepted the position as Lissa had just become headmistress there. We were given one of the larger guardian dorms with two small bedrooms and a small living room/kitchen. Even though it's not much it's still better then nothing. Before that I protected Lissa everyday at court. On my last month before my due date I took leave ( not willingly) and another guardian was tasked with protecting her.
Once my shift was over I started getting ready for tea which we had at Lissa and Christians every Friday (and most other days). After a scalding hot shower, I got changed in to a tight mid thigh, lace black dress that clung to my figure with a sweeping neckline. It managed to be sexy and classy at the same time. Pairing it with black high heals and minimal makeup I run out of my room grabbing my leather biker jacket on the way.
" My god! How long does it take you to get ready?" Alex mutters under his breath. " Are you going to give me another lecture on time keeping and make us even later or are we going to leave?" I snap back at him in a playful manner.
Opening the door we were greeted with the welcoming smell of home cooking. After the incident fifteen years ago where Lissa nearly burned the whole building down, she was banned from ever entering the kitchen area when food was being prepared. Which was fine for the rest of us as Christian was actually a good cook (not that I would ever say that to his face).
"Lissa?" I holler through the apartment as I throw my coat and bag over the back of the sofa closely followed by Alex. "We're all in here," a voice called out from the dining room. Thinking it was odd as we normally just ate in the kitchen table, I glance at Alex only to be met with the same confused expression. Slowly we walked toward them. Once we step in the room all eyes turn to us. I soon realised that we would not be eating alone tonight. I spare a glance at Alex. I see his eyes and jaw harden and his fists clench in to such a tight ball that I'm afraid that he'll draw blood. At the next words spoken my heart stops...
"Hello Roza."
