Chapter two: The difference between asleep and awake

"Hey Rose." I heard a familiar voice say. I was at the academy again, in the gym. When I turned around I saw Adrian with his classical smirk on his face.

"Adrian." He began walking toward me and gave me a hug. "Eh where was that for? I mean ...You kind of broke up with me this morning, didn't you?" He gave me a sad smile.

"Yes, but I heard what happened today and I wanted to say I'm sorry. Just listen to me one sec. I knew you weren't over Dimitri and I pushed you on me. That wasn't fair of me. It's better if we just stay friends, isn't it? Because I know that is what you need right now. I'm sorry for all those things I said and did. I really am." I hugged him tighter .

"Oh Adrian, I am sorry too. I shouldn't have said yes. I should've ... I don't know but the things happened and we did what we did. The important thing is that we forgive each other. And thank you Adrian, for being here and being my friend. One day, you'll find a girl who loves you for who you are. A girl where you'll do everything for. Not for making a good impressing on her, but because you want her to be happy. And that will be what makes her happy. Now it looks like what I'm saying is crap but that day you'll understand." He just kissed my forehead and said,

"I hope so, I really do."

The next day I walked toward Lissa's room because I had duty, but there was no one there. So I walked toward Hans's office to ask him what was wrong. He just said that I could go and get all my friends. So when I got back with Mia, Adrian and Eddie, we all took a seat and waited till Hans said something.

"The reason that I asked all of you here is Rose. Rose, Lissa asked for another guardian. She said she didn't trust you anymore and she found you too irresponsible." I sat there open mouthed and wide-eyed. How could she do that? We are best friends! Well, were best friends?

"She can't do that!" Eddie yelled furiously.

"Yes, she can. She's Vasilissa Dragomir, Eddie. The last Dragomir, of course she can do that." I staid calm while saying this. What was a wonder if you knew that even Adrian looked angry.

"You're reassigned to the academy in Russia. You're lucky. On Sunday there will be a plane waiting for you. At six PM. Got it?" Harsh, very harsh. First I got dumped and now they send me away?

"Why can't I be guardian here at court?" My voice was shaking.

"There are guardians enough here. They want you to train there because you killed so much strigoi at such a young age. I'm sorry Rose. Now go away I have other things to do."

He didn't sound very sorry. We just walked away out of his office. I've got to Sunday. That's encore five days. Five days.

"How could she! She's so selfish! Doesn't she knows that other people are friends with you to? That bitch! I will..." Before Mia said anything more I interrupted her.

"Mia, it's fine. It's going to be alright. I mean, I wanted this, right? I wanted to become guardian and that's the risk. You have always a chance that you get assigned to a place where you don't want to be." My three friends hugged me. And that's when the first tear came.

"Oh Rose, everything will be alright! We will keep in touch! We promise!" Eddie tried to cheer me up. I hoped that I wouldn't lose them.

It was Sunday. The whole week Eddie, Mia, Adrian just hanged and had fun even if I started thinking more about Lissa and Dimitri. I would never see them again. Ever. At the beginning I felt like I could cry but now? I didn't really know. It was better that way. I loved them and they didn't love me anymore. Now I just had to let them go. But I did write them goodbye letters. Now, I just was sad because I had to let my other friends behind. I would really miss them.

"Little Dhampir, this isn't a goodbye, is it?" Oh and Adrian, I hoped he would get a happy ever after.

"No, Adrian. No goodbye. Just an 'until next time'. You'll come visit me, right? And you two lovebirds! You two just have to jump on the plane with him! And now come here for a hug!" Eddie and Mia went bright red and hugged me. Mia even started crying. Weird how everything turned out. At the beginning of this year she was my worst enemy and now she was one of my closest friends.

I said a few more goodbyes and got into the plain, took a seat by the window and watched my friends getting smaller and smaller. A few minutes later I noticed a guy sitting next to me.

"Hey I'm Rose Hathaway." The guy was actually really cute. Not exactly hot, but cute. He had sand blonde hair and brown eyes. He was also very tall. He looked about a year older than me.

"Oh, I know." He said with a smirk. Damn, this would be a long flight.
