Vampire Academy Page #10

Lissa, you're gonna want

to see this.

I don't believe my eyes. You got him

wearing a color other than black.

Baby steps.

Oh, Rose, wait.

There's so much to read here.

Apparently, Vladimir and Anna

almost drowned in this flood,

but he saved them from certain

death, and listen to this.

"It took many years for Vladimir

to master the power of his Spirit."

Despite his sufferings and delusions,

he never contemplated

the way of the Strigoi,

because he always had the strength

"of his shadow-kissed guardian,

Anna, to see him through."

Similarities. Weird.

Well, Christian, for us, weird...

Doesn't begin to cover it.

Do I have to?

It's time.

God, not her. Not now.

And once again, this grotesque

maelstrom of indecency

seems centered

on one royal individual.

- Where's Vasilisa Drag...

- Thank you, Your Majesty,

for allowing me to clear the air.

I finally declared a magic,

and it's called Spirit.

It may take years to get a handle on it,

but I have a bunch of wise men

in robes to help me out.

And yes, that was not a mirage

you saw on the dance floor.

My boyfriend is Christian Ozera,

and his parents were Strigoi.

Get over it. He has.

I'm not quite sure what you think...

Shh! Not now, dear.

Blood.

Blood is what connects us all.

Blood is sustenance.

Blood is family.

Blood is pain, and blood is death,

be it the fang of the Strigoi

or a drunk driver

on the wrong side of the road.

Blood is many things,

and sometimes it gets

so crazy and confusing

that you need a best friend

to tell you, "it's OK."

It's all life, at least until they come

up with a better word for it."

Unfortunately, you can't

all have a Rose Hathaway.

I'm very lucky that she's mine,

but if you don't have a soul mate,

by Vlad, the least you deserve

is kindness and dignity and something

more original than gossip,

snobbiness, slut-shaming and bullying.

Let's prove that Moroi blood

is worth protecting.

What do you say, everyone?

No more bad blood.

So, that's Natalie, huh?

Looks... fresh.

I'm sorry.

I had to.

I'm sorry.

- I hesitated.

- Rose...

you're so brave

and strong and bold.

Sadly, you'll have many

other opportunities to kill Strigoi.

You lied about your feelings for me.

Yes. I did.

Why would you do that?

It's more than my age

and my position at the academy.

Our allegiance is to the Moroi.

If I let myself love,

I wouldn't throw myself

in front of the princess.

I would throw myself in front of you.

It's funny.

Your reasons

for not loving me just...

make me love you more.

I want you to kiss me without

a magic charm forcing you to do it.

That's not a great idea.

Please.

"Everyone's at the banquet.

Just"

one last kiss.

Yes! Yes, yes!

Yes! Are you not entertained?!

My name is Rose Hathaway,

and I'm not your normal teenage girl,

but I guess,

is there really such a thing?

Every life has rules, traditions,

friends and enemies,

sheer terror and incredible joy,

but I've learned...

Whoa! Watch where

you're going there, bird.

Are you kidding me?

It's you, isn't it?

Come...

my shadow-kissed soul mate.

Well, same to you, buddy!

NOW!

Soon.
