Chapter 15

~A month after the strigoi attack~

Rose's POV

It has been a month since the attack upon the school and now there are more Guardians than before. So it's harder to sneak out and see a certain Russian. All the windows were fixed and everything was back to normal. It was now currently night time and I was sitting on a bench, looking at the stars, waiting for the others to come. So those people were, Lissa, Christian, Eddie, Mason (met him after the strigoi attack, Eddie's best friend), Adrian, Mia (also met her after the strigoi attack), and of course my handsome Russian, Dimitri.

After a few minutes, everyone had arrived and then we sat on the grass and began to talk.

Lissa was sitting on Christian's lap, while I was sitting on Dimitri's.

Lissa and Christian got together about a week after the strigoi attack. They looked so cute together.

I also remembered where I heard the name Ozera from. I heard gossip about two Royals turning into strigoi willingly and they were Christian's parents. He told us the story and he looked pretty freaked out as if we weren't going to hang out with him anymore. Lissa and I shocked him by giving him a big hug.

I sighed remembering that moment. Poor Christian... That must've been hard for him.

We were all quiet and just looking at the stars now.

It's such a peaceful night.

It was peaceful, until the strigoi alarm went off.

I froze and looked at everyone else, they also froze.

It couldn't be... There were strigoi in the Academy... again.

Everyone was still frozen with either shock or fear, maybe both.

I was the first one to recover. I jumped up and yelled, "C'mon! We gotta get to a safer place."

They all nodded and got up. We then ran inside and stopped. We were in the hall. I looked around and it was empty. Then someone spoke through the intercom,

"Everyone! Get to the commons!"

It was Kirova.

We then began to full out sprint to the commons. Eddie and Mason were in the front, leading the way. Lissa, Christian, Mia and Adrian were behind them. Then it was Dimitri and me in the back.

Few more seconds of running and we reached the door of the commons. It was closed and there were two Guardians there. They opened the door for us to go in and then they closed it again.

We all sighed in relief and made our way to sit down. We found a place that was vacant and sat there.

We were silent. Then Eddie said, "How do you think they got in...?"

I was also thinking that. How did they get in? There's more Gaurdians than before. I also didn't hear any loud noises or anything. So how did they... then it hit me.

"Compulsion..." I said.

They looked at me and I just looked back at them and said, "They could have used compulsion on the Guardians guarding the gates or they used compulsion on the Guardians to take down the barrier."

They then looked away from me after I said that. I guess they got it.

I looked around the cafeteria and saw that most people were here but not all, sitting down and talking. I guess some people are still in their rooms scared to come out. There were some Guardians walking around probably making sure no strigoi wouldn't be able to enter in here.
