                                                                                Chapter Four

I woke up on the couch, with a plate on my lap and a half-empty cup of coffee on the small dining table. I sat up groggily, still half asleep, and looked at the time on the clock, which was sitting on my bed side table. Crap. I'd accidentally fallen asleep eating lunch and had slept right through seventh period.

I was supposed to be on duty, and the bell for the end of class was about to ring. Hopefully someone realised I wasn't there and covered for me. I usually never missed duty but I hadn't had an ounce of sleep since the long plane trip last night. It had drained all the energy out of me.

I should get moving, I told myself. Eighth period was about to start and I was on duty in another one of Guardian Alto's classes.

As I was about to stand up, my phone made a beeping sound and vibrated in my pocket. Startled, I took it out and looked at the screen, which showed I had two new inbox messages.

I opened the first one, which was from Alberta. Belikov, you weren't on duty seventh period, so I had Guardian Chase cover for you. Don't worry, you can thank me later. Alberta.

I ran my hand through my slightly tousled hair and let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Alberta had realised I was off duty and had done the right thing by asking Guardian Chase to cover for me. I would have to take one of Guardian Chase's shifts tomorrow as a way of saying thank you.

I clicked on the second message, which was addressed to Alberta and I only. It was from headmistress Kirova. You are both off duty last period due to a small staff meeting regarding Miss Hathaway. It shouldn't take long- there are things we need to discuss. Come to my office when the bell goes. Kirova.

It looked like I was in luck; I didn't have to go on duty last period either. The bell rang loudly and I quickly scooped up my plate and coffee cup heading over to the sink. I tipped the rest of my coffee down the sink and gave it a quick rinse as well as my plate, leaving them to dry. I grabbed my jacket as I walked out the door, locking it behind me.

I knocked quietly on the headmistress's door. "Come in, Belikov" I head Kirova call from inside. Slowly turning the handle and pushing the door open- I stepped into her office and closed the door. "Please, sit." She said beckoning to the same chair Rose had sat in this morning when getting lectured about her decision to run away with the princess. How ironic, now I felt like the badass, sitting in the same chair she had. Alberta smiled at me as I sat down next to her in front of the headmistress's desk.

"So..." The headmistress began, "I presume you know why, you both, are here. It's regarding Miss Hathaway. I want you two to spy on her." Kirova folded her arms on the desk and let her words sink in.

"What for?" Alberta asked, confused.

"Well as you know, Rose likes to cause trouble and tends not to follow the rules. I believe she will break protocol in a matter of days. This is why you two will be watching her when she does. Each one of you will take turns spying on her. One of you will be watching Rose and the other will be watching Vasilisa in every one of their classes. Alberta will follow Rose after she finishes training with Belikov to make sure she goes straight to her room and not off to see Vasilisa or one of her dhampir friends. One wrong move and she's out of here. It's time the Moroi princess made some more suitable friends-Rose won't allow her to do that, she will set the wrong impression and I won't allow it." Kirova said smugly.
