Chapter 2: Welcome to St. Vladimirs

We ran outside from the back exit of our apartment with little bags packed with clothes and money, also a few necessities (drawing pad, Oscar, etc.), incase we needed to run.

"Keep close. Just like we practiced." Rose ordered Lissa and I.

"I've got your back, Rose." I whispered so that the nearby guardians couldn't here us. "No!" Rose whisper-shouted, "I have to keep you both safe." "But-" "No buts, I want you safe." "Okay fine."

Rose ducked behind and alley wall with Lissa and I behind her with the guardians in the street. She unclipped the top of a gas tank of a motorcycle and stuffed a rag into it and poured 'Belinsky' alcohol on it.

"Lissa, Amelia go!" Rose whisper-shouted while tying the rag around a handle.

Lissa and I ran to the other side of the street when the guardians were facing the other way. All of a sudden the motorbike raced past us on fire with nobody on it. The Guardians turned and it exploded, they went flying back and when they got up and Rose spun and knocked them out with a muffler.

Rose clicked the keys to the car and the maroon car three cars down bleeped, Rose, Lissa, and I jogged to the car.

"Did you have to hurt them?" I asked. "Did I have to hurt them? Your Welcome. Get out the map Gondi. We'll head North into Canada." Rose replied. We had finally reached the car and were about to get in until...

Meow. "Oscar. Thank God you brought him Lissa, I thought he ran away!" "Did you really bring that fur ball?" Me and Rose said at the same time. "Welcome. And I couldn't just abandon him."

I gasped loudly when I noticed another guardian behind Rose. Rose turned around and threw her bag at him then kicked him in the chest and the face and he was knocked out. "Hell's yes" Rose breathed out, adrenaline probably pumping through her veins.

"Rose" Lissa muttered.

We all turned to the fire and saw a man in a long duster, with long hair and deep brown eyes. He was a Guardian.

"Princess Vasilisa Dragomir and Amelia Hathaway. My name is Dimitri Belikov. I've come to take you back to St. Vladimir's Academy."

"Listen, Comrade. To get to them you're going to have to go through me" Rose shot back. Rose and Dimitri started running towards each other and when he got close enough he sent his hand forward, open, and sent her flying backwards into the air, where he sped up and caught her. Lissa and I backed into the car and Guardians stood and brought us to their car.

1 1/2 hours later

Rose finally woke from her unconscious state in the front passenger seat with her head against the dash and handcuffed to the handle. Lissa and I were squished in the back with two other Guardians and Oscar on Lissa and I's lap. Dimitri Belikov was driving with a serious expression.

"Handcuffs, there's gotta be a compliment somewhere." Rose said sleepily. "So your taking us back to the Academy, Tell us how bad is it going to be?" "Nothing. You know I kept the Princess and Amelia safe and hidden for over an entire year before you got lucky." "Congratulations" he replied leaning over to her while driving.

"It speaks. Wow, that's a lot of molinja marks you got there. You've killed six Strigoi. We were afraid we'd run into one back there."

"If you had run into a Strigoi we wouldn't be have this conversation." He replied, "This is your idea of a conversation?" Rose asked. That's when I sent a look to her through my eyes from the mirror to go into Lissa's head, and us three started laughing. "Exactly." Rose and I replied as we laughed at what she thought.

Lissa and I kept petting Oscar while laughing.

We soon arrived at the school. "We're here, open the gates." Dimitri said into his mic, nothing, "Anyone there."
