Vampire Academy Page #2

Lissa is a possible

successor to the throne.

But you, Hathaway, a Dhampir girl

cut off from the community,

out on civilian streets without a dime

or a Social Security number?

"Blood whore" is such an ugly term,

but I'm sure Moroi men

on business trips would pay a lot

for the especially sweet taste.

Headmistress Kirova.

- They have the bond.

- That's... that's impossible.

In my brief observation period,

Rose could tell what Lissa

was thinking or feeling,

sometimes without being

in the same place.

What a rare and wonderful gift.

This doesn't take away from the fact

that Rose Hathaway is wild, dangerous...

- insubordinate, vulgar.

- Right here, folks. Right here.

But the number of female Dhampir

guardians has gone down

way too much to risk losing one

with such potential.

Ellen, what this impressive new

guardian says seems reasonable.

We're so sorry, Headmistress.

After the crash, I lacked

a strong parental figure to confide in.

I'm afraid Rose and I

got in way over our heads.

Two crazy kids.

Hathaway can stay,

but no extracurricular activities,

no parties, no socializing,

nothing resembling fun.

Take the princess to her royal quarters

and find a broom closet for...

Oh, Rose, I almost forgot.

A telegram.

From Mom.

Kirova flipping out and Lissa

using compulsion to save my ass,

just another night at St. Vladimir's.

Wow. This place definitely

brought back memories.

Come on, over here.

Before the accident,

my father used to say

that for a Moroi not declaring a magic

is like not going through puberty.

Yeah, and he also used

to say practice during the day

while the world,

your world, is sleeping.

Let's make some magic.

Perfect.

Fire and water.

That's my Moroi.

- Rose...

- Don't leave me hanging.

Rose, you know

how I feel about high-fives.

Ladies. It's after 11:00 a.m., girls.

You should be in bed.

The sun has cleared the trees,

and it won't be kind, Your Highness.

I never got a chance to express

my condolences at the funeral.

But I am so heartened

by the extraordinary recovery

you've both made.

And don't worry, Princess.

I never officially

declared a magic, either.

And look how I turned out.

Ms. Karp's so different

from the other instructors.

It's really refreshing.

The thing that I like the most about her

is she's not strange or creepy at all.

- It's hurt.

- It's more than hurt. It's done.

Leave it. Come on, let...

That was unique.

Lissa.

Lissa?

Hey, Liss.

- It's good to see you.

- Aaron.

Guessing your new girlfriend

practices water magic. Classy.

Yeah. Hey, I'm sorry.

Mia gets jealous,

but deep down, she's sweet.

Back off, b*tch. He's mine now.

Very deep down, apparently.

How does it feel to leave at the

top and come back at the bottom?

Don't like what I'm saying?

What are you gonna do about it?

Thanks for asking.

I'm gonna go to a quiet place

and be very depressed

that this is my new life.

All Dhampir novices

transfer to the next training station.

Everyone transfer

to their next training station.

Dimitri is a God.

I hear he tracked them down to Oregon,

and when Rose tried to put up

a fight, he handed her her ass.

And what was left of that ass

got chewed up by Headmistress Kirova.

Surely, you have something more

interesting to discuss than my ass.

- Your boobies?

- Quit while you're alive, Mason.

What up, baby?

Ooh.

Forgot the secret handshake.

That hurts.

You know, I'm gonna make you pay

for your booby comment.

Old Rose maybe,

but you've missed a year of training.

Yeah, you needed that year to catch up

with what I was born with.

Prepare to...

Ow!

Sorry, Rose. Don't hate me.

I'd hate you more if you held back.

They have these things

in the outside world...

Pinkberry and mini taquitos,

Toaster Strudel...

Oh, no. Not this again.

Don't worry. I don't bite.

Well... only literally.

What are you doing here?

This is where I come to get away.

Hey, this was my...

special place

before it was

your special place.

What do you have

to get away from, Princess?

What do you know about pain?

Break a nail off in your tiara?

- Excuse me, after a car crash...

- You got off easy.

How dare you! Do you have any idea

what it's like to lose your family?

Oh. Sorry.

You know you're talking

to Christian Ozera, right?

Parents transformed themselves

into Strigoi...

When your folks died,

there was a pretty funeral,

and everybody cried.

When my mother and father

were hunted down, everybody cheered.

I hate what they chose to become...

but they were still my parents.

A Strigoi can't enter holy ground.

Is that why you come to the church?

To prove to everyone you haven't turned?

Get away from that freak.

Maybe I just like the way

the moonlight hits this spot.

It's as if you're on another planet.

What was it like...

outside the academy?

It was kind of scary,

just the two of us out there,

but... it was also kind of great.

No one knew who I was.

It does sound kind of great.

But what did you do for blood?

I mean, it's not like

you can pick it up at 7-Eleven.

Or so I've read.

Don't you say anything, girl.

People will get the wrong idea.

You and Rose, all alone on the road.

I have my theories.

Promise me you won't tell

your friends these theories.

I promise you

I have no friends to tell.

Stop staring at each other all...

- ...gooey like.

- Hathaway!

Look alive!

Comrade Belikov.

They ran me ragged.

What do you say we go easy today?

- Perhaps discuss a bit of theory.

- Of course, Rose. I understand.

How do you say

"what a dick" in Russian?

Did you even go to a gym out there?

I took a couple of spinning classes.

Do you really think beating me up

is gonna help me face a live Strigoi?

After your performance last night,

if you see a Strigoi,

I recommend running.

Now, give me ten sets of lines.

You know, this country has a concept

called "positive reinforcement."

Rose, your bond is special.

You're an ideal choice to guard Vasilisa

when you both graduate.

But if you want to be with her,

you need to be ready for anything.

- Ow!

- Wow.

You look how I feel.

I look how I feel.

How's that "under the radar"

plan working out, Highness?

Not so much.

If you need

a shoulder to cry on,

use mine,

not Christian Ozera's.

- Who told you?

- I was sort of... you know, there.

Oh, not again. That's so gross.

I know, and it was, like,

the longest one yet.

- You seriously can't turn it off?

- I don't know.

Have you ever seen me go

to the bathroom?

No, but thank you for giving me

something to look forward to.

Oh, shut up. Oh!

No wonder I'm so cranky.

I'm starving.

And now, for the obligatory

cafeteria scene, sort of.

Ever wonder what happened

to that friend of yours,

obsessed with vampire books

and shows?

It's called

the human feeder program.

Human civilians systematically

giving their blood.

I forgot how much

I did not miss this.

Hey, no feeder is brought here
