A.N: Thanks for the support! Please feel free to read and review!
There was a soft murmur of Russian in the distance and Kristoph glanced to Denis almost cautiously for a moment before moving farther down the hall. The shadows cast almost warped across the hall in a myriad of features almost akin to features one might see in a fairy tale of horror the shapes twisting and gnashing at each other. Kristoph eyes them with dislike as they strode down the hall, as they neared the end it opened up into a conference room, the features were similar to that of the building that Galena had housed her coven in.
Kristoph was faintly nervous, more recently Dimitri's fuse seemed to get shorter and shorter. In fact he had nearly killed another of the strigoi aligned with them. Akilina, was a petite woman, though much stronger than she looked, red curls hanging just about her shoulders, her eyes once an almost golden hazel was now ringed with a vibrant crimson. She studied him as he approached, they two of them had gone at it before and Kristoph didn't necessarily want to have to fight her again though, by her body it was obvious that before she was awakened she had been a dhamphir. Her curves tempted him and he knew that she wasn't entirely opposed to the idea and the two had had each other, more than once. She stepped aside, a little cautious of him at this point, Dimitri didn't entirely approve of the two, the way he saw it the two of them made each other weak. How could he trust two who were so engrossed with each other?
Kristoph sighed softly, moving into the conference room, the tall dark haired former dhamphir stood with his back to them his hair loose around his face which was rather unusual for him. He turned to look at the pair his eyes, ringed in that infamous red that gave away what they were more that their icy flesh or their pallid complexions.
"You have some news for me?" He inquired his voice hard, and very businesslike. Denis looked to the other and sighed lightly.
"The girl has alerted the others, as far as we know only the Hathaway girl knows…but the Dragomir Princess may have also told Ozera and Ivashkov. More likely Ozera than Ivashkov, we know that Ozera knows she is pregnant however it is unclear how much Ivashkov knows. "Denis stated looking to Dimitri who nodded looking almost pensive.
His head quirked lightly looking to Kristoph "Schreodinger how do they look?" He asked the German curiously. Kristoph looked to the other cautiously frowning a little before responding
"Well her pregnancy is not showing quite yet, although she is starting to show symptoms, "He stated. Dimitri nodded a little then continued,
"And her companions?" Kristoph nodded "Well, the little dhamphir looks tired and stressed likely over worrying about the Dragomir princess, and the Ozera boy hardly looks like he is getting any sleep at all, Ivashkov on the other hand shows no signs of stress or fatigue. It seems like no one else is aware of either situation. "Kristoph stated looking to the other.
Dimitri nodded a little looking distant sighing lightly "Who do we have in the school?" He inquired looking to the other.
Denis stepped forwards pulling a list from the pocket of his flak jacket, the jacket reminiscent of the flak jackets Soviet soldiers used to wear. Then sighed softly pushing hair from his eyes looking to the other holding up the list and reading aloud names.
"Petrov is a janitor in the school he is the one who originally picked up the genetic material. Guardian Egrov and Guardian Andreev are in the school and keeping an eye on the princess and her companions. Also at court we have Aleksander Ivashkov and Trieste Voda looking out for our best interests politically. "Denis stated looking to the other who nodded almost managing to look pleased.
Lissa stirred groaning softly and glancing to her alarm clock, groaning almost in disbelief trying to figure out why she was so tired rising and groaning again when her head seemed like it had been stuffed with cotton balls. In moments a pounding headache descended upon her and she sighed softly heading for the shower, hopefully to rid herself of her pain and fatigue.
Sighing and stepping into the bathroom to undress, looking to her body as she undressed and she swore she could almost see a small baby bump in the middle of her stomach she blanched slightly turning away from the mirror swiftly and stepping into the shower with a small sigh as the hot water soothed her muscles.
Moving out of the shower she toweled her hair dry a little greatful that she hadn't been assigned another room mate after Natalie and the fiasco with Victor Dashkov. She looked to her window remembering that the senior royal still posed issues for her. She was rather anxious over the entire ordeal.
Moving into her bedroom and dressing, it was a Sunday, then heading down to meet Christian then head to the little chapel to hear mass. It was the one place on the campus she ever found peace. A place where she felt entirely safe.

Rose glanced around the pale walls, spooking her somewhat. Where the hell was she? Turning as she swore she heard someone behind her. A rather large crib rushing towards her and she stepped back nurses wheeling it by and as the crib passed by she realized suddenly where she was, glancing around the other beds and several other cribs, behind her a small child slept in one of the beds, hooked up to an oxygen machine what appeared to be the child's mother sitting in a chair nearby watching carefully over the child. Heart monitors beeping around her the smell of iodine, she was in a hospital.
Rose glanced down in that moment and she was suddenly and entirely stunned with what she saw. A small infant, hardly longer than her arm from fingertips to elbow, the child just as pale as the linen she rested on. Dark hair creating more of a contrast between the infants face and the crib it laid in. The infant asleep, looking like a very small angel, she turned swiftly moving after the child, why she was unsure, she only knew that her body beckoned her to go after the child. Moving on after the child and the nurses leading the child away and starting lightly as she rouses suddenly shifting lightly turning to discover what exactly woke her in the first place.
Rose stirred glancing to her alarm clock and sighing a softly and would have turned over and gone back to bed had she not heard someone rapping at her door. Sighing softly and moving over to her door hair mused from sleep in just a tank top and a pair of shorts. Grumbling as she opened her door and blinked when she found Adrian on the other side looking heart poundingly handsome.
He cleared his throat chuckling faintly looking her up and down for a moment before stating.
"Rose, did I wake you?" He said chuckling faintly and grinning a little looking to the other. Rose scowled lightly looking to the other smoothing her hair self consciously and straightening her tank top.
"Yeah, what about it?" She inquired looking to the other; her would be boyfriend, looking to the other smiling faintly.
Adrian grinned faintly "I actually have something for you, meet me outside the guest dorms" he stated looking to Rose. She flushed lightly, nodding a little before managing to stammer the words.
"Uhhh…I um have to get a shower and all that first but I can be over there in about a half an hour. " She stated and Adrian smiled lightly.
"Take your time, it will take a little while to set up" He admitted looking to Rose looking to the other sheepishly. Rose looked faintly surprised though still blushing somewhat nodded and turned to go take a shower, but Adrian stepped forwards, grabbing her wrist pulling her to him, and kissing her, startling her somewhat when she pulled back she was blushing even more. Adrian chuckled faintly looking to her "See you later…" he stated giving her an almost knowing look before heading off.
About twenty minutes later, Rose stepped from her room, glad to have had the luxury of time to primp before heading out in the morning, "Rose!"
Rose turned a little confused, to find a male, who was rather cute and most obviously moroi by his slim physique and tall stature. He flicked his dark hair from his eyes, and called again " Rose " He was an exchange from Russia, and his accent almost hurt her to listen to because his voice was similar in quality to Dimitri's. His eyes a bright hazel, as he looked to her and then asked in almost broken English.
"Rose, I was hoping you could help me with some of this work I've heard you do with moroi and their magic. "He said looking rather hopeful. Rose smiled a little looking to the other always an advocate of moroi using the magic they specialized in to fight.
"Well actually Amadeus, you need to talk to Christian Ozera about that, but what element did you specialize in?" She inquired looking to the other and wondered faintly why he had a German name like Amadeus if he was Russian.
Amadeus smiled lightly "actually I think you can help me, I didn't specialize, Eddie told me you would know what to do with that…" he said and Rose blinked a jolt of surprise slamming down her spine. Spirit users were very rare; she'd been surprised upon meeting Mark and Oksana and discovering that Oksana was a spirit user.
She blinked stammering lightly "Oh, oh! Then you need to meet with Adrian Ivashkov and Lissa Dragomir, neither of them specialized either…um I have to go do something, but walk with me? "She inquired smiling lightly looking to the other, who nodded moving after her with a small smile.
"Sure, now this Lissa Dragomir? Isn't she the little blond girl who's with Christian Ozera?" He inquired looking to the other and it killed Rose to listen to his voice and she nodded smiling a little.
"Yes, that's Lissa and if you meet me in the courtyard after class tomorrow I'll bring you to them and we'll see what we can do about that…" She said they were at the doors to the dhamphir dorm now, "And I actually have to go now, but I will see you tomorrow, "She said, looking to him but he paused looking to her rather seriously.
"Rose, I know about you and Ivashkov…"
She blinked looking to him "Excuse me?" She stammered looking to the other.
"I have seen the two of you together, it's not right, I don't like it. Ivashkov is too old for you. Anyhow aren't you concerned that he just wants you as a blood whore?" He stated looking to her appearing concerned. Rose flushed angrily looking to the other, stammering some unintelligible things before storming out the doors.

Lissa shifted lightly where she sat in the pews next to Christian, her fingers digging into his arm slightly as she felt somewhat nauseous, leaning her head on his arm, breathing deeply trying to quell her nausea. Christian blinked lightly looking down to her curiously speaking softly.
"What's wrong Liss?" He asked softly looking to his pregnant girlfriend concerned. Lissa looked to him, her face having paled she looked to him looking rather tired.
"I just feel sick" she stated looking to her boyfriend, sighing softly and he frowned looking to her.
"Are you going to be alright? "He asked looking to her concerned.
She nodded a little "I think so; it would help if I had some water but I think I will be alright." She stated softly looking to the other.
Rose sighed softly heading off towards the guest dorm on campus, smiling lightly when she spotted Adrian waiting outside for her though scowling to find him smoking. Frowning as she moved over and clearing her throat and Adrian turned looking to Rose, eyeing her for a moment before giving her an apologetic look. Dropping the cigarette on the ground and stamping it out with his foot.
Eyeing her appreciatively, and then grinning faintly looking to her seizing her hand and pausing when he caught the look she was giving him.
"Rose? What's wrong?" He inquired looking to her frowning.
Rose looked faintly irritated "Someone knows about us…" she stated simply. Adrian blanched slightly "Hold on a moment…"He stated glancing around seizing her hand and pulling her into his room.
"So who is this person and how do they know?" He asked looking to her concerned and Rose sighed softly rubbing her temples as her head started to pound.
"This exchange student, he's a moroi, he specialized in spirit and he was asking me about you and Lissa, then he suddenly mentioned that he knew about us. He even tried to convince me that you had ulterior motives in dating me, then I just kind of left, I didn't know how to respond to that. "Rose said looking to Adrian who she was having a hard time reading as he wasn't even looking at her.
Rose stepped forwards putting a hand on his arm, "Adrian…" She spoke his name softly looking to him concerned and Adrian glanced to her with those gorgeous eyes, which looked so sad.
"Rose, I didn't want this to be hard for you. I don't want this to be a hassle for you, you know that right…?" He asked looking to her obviously feeling very insecure at the moment.
Rose sighed softly looking to Adrian "I know that, it's just that this just started and I don't feel like I know you that well yet so…it's hard" She said. Adrian sighed softly pulling her to him tightly in a hug kissing her forehead. "Things will get easier, I promise. "He said softly.
Lissa clung lightly to her boyfriend as they headed back to the moroi dorms, looking rather ill speaking softly to the other. Moving into the dorms and upstairs to her room. Upon reaching her room, she shivered and suddenly headed for the bathroom retching and coughing and then promptly vomiting more than she ever had in her life. Christian on the other side of the bathroom door rather worried calling through the wood. "Liss? Are you alright?" He asked cringing when more sounds of his girlfriend vomiting traveled through the door.
Glancing up at a knock on the door, opening the door to find Rose who upon catching the sound of her friend getting ill immediately charged into the room, and from there courageously into the bathroom to comfort her friend rubbing her back lightly and holding her hair back until she was done and Lissa turned moving to brush her teeth and Rose frowned looking to her friend and speaking finally.
"Lissa, you alright?" She inquired obviously concerned and the other nodded. Glancing up though at the sound of another clearing their throat the pair turning to find Adrian who looked rather concerned.
"Already starting to show symptoms cousin?" He inquired looking to Lissa rather concerned; Lissa on the other hand blinked looking rather confused for a moment.
"I actually told him…" Rose admitted sheepishly earning a look of utter surprise from her best friend which then morphed into a look of defeated acceptance. "Well, I suppose that does make it easier for me…" She stated sighing softly looking to Lissa.
Glancing up at a knocking on the door the three stepped from the bathroom and Christian had already opened the door to find Alberta there. Smiling when she Lissa "I was just looking for you Vasilissa; we have a new exchange student from Siberia. Her name is Viktoria Belikov, she is about fifteen and since you are such a good student we wanted you to show her the ropes and hopefully promote good study habits in her." Alberta stated stepping aside to reveal Dimitri's youngest sister standing there looking rather bored until she spied Rose amoung the group after which she brightened some.

Denis quirked a brow as he glanced to the note he had received recently from one of their spies. Sighing softly shaking his head a little and glancing to Kristoph,
"He's not going to like this…" He said trialing off growling something under his breath in Russian as he moved for the door. Sighing and moving out into the hall and down it Kristoph following him about halfway down the hall before the pair split going in opposite directions.
Denis paused for a moment watching the other leave before heading towards where he knew to find Dimitri. Moving into the room where the other was reader a tatty old Western novel and reclining on a couch.
When Denis entered the room Dimitri glanced up the book dropping onto a cushion as Dimitri sat up on the couch. "What is it?" he inquired in his icy tone looking to the other, his eyes burning into Denis demanding nothing but the truth.
"There has been a new admission at the school, a transfer…" He stated and Dimitri cut him off almost instantly.
"What does this have to do with our plans? " He snapped icily. Denis frowned sighing softly before continuing.
"The transfer is a female dhamphir name Viktoria Belikov. "Denis stated, and Dimitri snapped up from where he sat.
"Does it say why?" he inquired suddenly horribly interested.
Denis nodded slightly "Yes but it's rather vague it says parental request and then under that misbehavior..." He commented offhandedly reading the paper over again before continuing. "But it does not elaborate. "He stated and Dimitri swore softly looking to him.
"I'm taking the next shift…you need to send a communiqué to our spies and have them search for a definitive answer…" He snapped before leaving the room swiftly.
