THE OTHER WAY ROUND
Chapter 1
(DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS. THE AMAZING RICHELLE MEAD DOES)
To start with, I had a very tiring day. It was my dream to become a guardian like my mother but everytime Im in a guardian council meeting and see those sulken pissed off with there life faces of the senior guardians, I tend to think about my decision but then my best friend Lissa's image pops up in my head, and suddenly its all worth it. My bestfriend is Vasilisa Dragomir [call her lissa if you don't want her to use compulsion on you and make you imagine ur worst nightmares]
She and I were like tea and donuts : incomplete without each other. I've known her since we were 5. She is a royal moroi and as for me… well im a dhampir; protectors of the moroi. But liss is nothing like the other moroi's. she's a very nice person actually, kinda self absorbed but still she's the most amazing friend I could've ever asked for.
And me being Lissa's guardian was a dream for both me and her which is true now. I still remember the very day when lissa and I graduated and I was declared as the guardian of the Dragomir princess…
"Vasilisa Rhea Dragomir" Kirova screamed on the microphone. My hands were clasped with Lissa's. I was shaking. Kirova's next word is gonna change my freaking life. 'please be my name. please be my name!' I kept muttering.
Lissa also looked nervous. I didn't dare look up, I just couldn't until I hear my name.
"will be guarded by Rosemarie Hathaway" she finished.
Im gonna guard lissa!
I was shook. I looked at up at her just to confirm what I just hear was true.. she was beaming!
I looked over to my mother in the crowd the infamous Janine Hathaway. Her guardian mask was off now she was smiling too. So was Christian, lissa's boyfriend.
After getting enough confirmation I started smiling too. Im Lissa's guardian…. IM LISSA'S FREAKING GUARDIAN!
That was the best day of my life.
I snapped out of my memories and saw myself standing infront of my apartment door. I lived in the apartment assigned to the guardian at st. Vladimir's as liss was a teacher at the academy. She taught spirit. It was very rare and a dangerous magic that only 1 out of a 100 moroi's got, unlike their fire, water, earth and air magic.
I quickly unlocked my apartment door and rushed into my living room, kicking off my block heels and pulling of my black blazer off me. I quickly unbuttoned the first two buttons of my shirt as I was boiling inside. guardians are suppose to wear black and white formals. I don't usually wear them on daily basis but today I had a guardian council meeting so I had to.
After drinking a full bottle of cold water from my mini fridge I went in my bedroom and changed into my deep maroon pyjamas. I started feeling good instantly but still I was extremely tired because of all the work. I made my way to the kitchen and took out a box of doughnuts from under of the kitchen counter [hey! I was just afraid that they would get stolen].
I sat on my bed and started eating them remembering the discussion we had today in the meeting. As usual it was about the moroi and dhamphir boys on run. One was Ivan Zeklos from the royal Zeklos family. Huh! The word Zeklos make my blood boil… reminds me of a guy during my school time, Jessie Zeklos.
Oh how I hate him.
Anyways… these boys ran away from the academy 2 years ago. At first our headmistress bitch Kirova didn't care much cuz they were infact trouble and never stayed at the same place. But now they have stayed in Portland for over an year now, so people think its about time the guardians go and bring them back to the academy.
I was 6 doughnuts down and hell-a sleepy when my phone rang.
This person better has a good reason to call… as soon as I saw the name my good mood completely disappeared.
Kirova.
Why was she calling at this hour?
Huhhhhhh! One of the reasons why I wanted to graduate [apart from being liss's guardian] was to not see the headmistress bitch's face. But fates had something else planned for me.
I picked up.
"Hathaway! my office in 10 minutes" she barked on the phone.
No 'hi', no 'sorry for disturbing you at this hour?'
Typical Kirova.
Before I could ask anything she hung up.
I got up from my bed and walked over to my dresser.
If there was anything less than a strigoi attack at this hour I swear to God ill kill her myself.
I quickly changed to some comfy jeans and a deep burgundy oversized jumper. It was freezing outside.
I tied my hair up on the way to her office, before entering her wing I met up with Mason Ashford. He was a really good friend of mine. Back in school he had a huge crush on me, which I can tell was still there becuz when he saw me he smiled cutely through his sleepy face.
"im glad kirova's not just taking me on this shit" he said. I chuckled lightly as we made our way to her office.
The door was ajar.
As we stepped in I saw 5 more guardians in there.
I nodded them respectfully as I stood in front of Kirova.
"I need you guardians to go to Portland and bring back the boys. Now." She said
There was silence in the room
"what?" I asked her "but why ? why now?" trying my best not to whine.
"it seems like they will move from Portland today. So you people are suppose to reach them before they run away again." She said
And there goes my sleep.
