Vampire Academy

Chapter Four

"Well?" Kirova looked at me with a raised eyebrow – She had called me in and I had no idea what she was talking about.

"You'll have to expand"

"What is your plan?"

"With what?"

"Rose Hathaway. It's always Rose" I laughed when the words came out her lips.

"Jogging" My statement was short and sweet.

I waited for her to realise that is all I had to say...

"What? Is that it?" She said disapprovingly after a considerate amount of time had passed.

"Yes"

"What about physical training"

"She'll learn that in class"

"But she's not going to learn to run – when it comes to the test –"

"Her life will not be a test. Her life will be a job to guard"

"But running will not help her pass her tests"

"And running will save the princess – if it ever comes to it"

"But –"

"She'll learn techniques in lesson and I will sharpen her moves"

Alberta bust in the room. Not to my surprise, she had been hiding there the whole time but before Kirova could speak – Alberta spoke "She would have too, because Dimitri will kick ass and she'll have to pick it up quickly or she'll have her ass handed to her every second"

I laughed "Alberta this is a private conversation between me and Dimitri – Leave and I'll speak with you later" Kirova looked annoyed "Did you know she was there?"

"No" I lied.

"Nevertheless – Report to me any progress on her running"

"Good day Kirova" I nodded my head and left.

Alberta came up to me "You know you didn't have to hide"

"But I did. You're so bad-ass"

"Alberta – I am not some naughty school boy"

"I know. Just I heard what you did to Stan. Shouting that is"

"I didn't shout – I spoke with him"

She was silent.

"Look her punishment too her is a big deal – I am sure because she is a attention queen it's hard to for her to comply. Stan didn't have to embarrass her "

Kirova called in Alberta.

I walked away laughing. Alberta was so stupid. I then waited outside the Gym for about 10 minutes before deciding that I should probably go and find Rose as I suspected that she wouldn't be arriving any time soon.

I walked around aimlessly for a bit. I guessed she would be with Vasilisa but I had no idea where she was. I sighed as I walked up to the janitor.

"Vasilisa and Rose Hathaway – Have you seen them?"

"Yes – They are just outside the school"

"Thank you" I almost stormed right up to them and was going to push them back inside. But too my surprise they weren't trying to escape they seemed to be just talking. So I listened.

"Are you serious?" The princess looked surprised at something.

"Sure you never liked them anyway"

"You did!"

"No. Not really. I liked what they could offer. All the parties and stuff"

"And you can go without that now?" The princess had raised her eyebrow and looked in disbelief.

"Sure. We did in Portland"

"Yeah, but that was different –Here... here I've got to be a part of that. I can't avoid it"

"The hell you do. Natalie stays out of that stuff"

"Natalie isn't going to inherit her family's title – I've already got it. I've got to be involved, start making connections. Andre –"

"Liss. You aren't Andre"

"He was always involved in stuff like that"

"Yeah, well. He's dead now"

"You know sometimes you aren't very nice"

"You don't keep me around to be nice. You want nice, there are a dozen sheep in there who would rip each other's throats to get in good with the Dragomir Princess. You keep me around to tell you the truth, and here it is; Andre is dead. You're the heir now, and you're going to deal with it however you can. But for now, that means staying away from the othe royals. We'll just lie low. Coasting thought the middle. Get involved in that stuff again, Liss, and your'll drive yourself..."

"Crazy"

"I didn't mean..."

"It's okay – Fine. We'll stay, and we'll keep out of all that stuff. We'll coast through the middle like you want. Hang out with Natalie , I guess"

I thought maybe it wasn't Rose that made her run away, it was the other way round and Rose being Rose she just followed making sure that she did her best to protect the princess. Still she could off told someone. That's when I decided to walk up to them – not so that they would notice me, but quietly almost to give them a scare and people were watching them.

"All right then. We'll see how this goes. If anything goes wrong – anything at all – we leave. No arguments."

"Rose?"

I cut in. They both looked up at me scared almost. Rose looked like she hoped I hadn't been listening and the Princess looked guilty about something. "You're late for practice" looking at Vasilisa formerly I bowed "Princess."

I walked away knowing that she would follow. She wouldn't have to be told twice. She caught up with my pace and walked by my side silently. I listened to the movement that was going on around me. Screaming girls and boys, gossiping. I sighed they were all so stupid and they would never be as good as rose. What is that meant to mean. She has so much talent. In bed I am sure. No. In fighting. Oh like you care – you just want too NO! I don't. STOP.
