Vampire Academy Page #4

Now I'm curious.

"So, it turns out the reason"

that Lissa survived

so long on the outside

"is she used Rose

as a personal feed bag."

Settle down!

Dhampir-Moroi mastication

is a very serious allegation.

I'm gonna pretend I never read this.

Everyone turn to page three

of your handout.

But, Mr. Meisner,

you left out the best part.

About me and my boy, Jesse,

and that Dhamp tramp last night.

- What?

- Truth hurts, blood whore.

Christian, cut it out!

Kindly report to Headmistress

Kirova's office, Mr. Ozera.

- Down the hall, turn left.

- Like I need directions.

Lissa, Lissa, wait up.

Not here,

not in front of everyone.

What was that back there?

Fire magic in class?

- Uh-oh. Lovers' quarrel.

- Rose, I bleed for you.

No, it's Rose

who does the bleeding.

You can't beat up everyone

we have a problem with!

- Well, I can try.

- What is going on?

I told you, Jesse and I barely even

made out, and Ray wasn't even there,

so I don't even know

what he's talking about.

OK, yes. Teenage boys are

weak and sweaty piglets.

It is our covenant...

I'm talking about you and me.

How did they find out

about the feeding?

You know, when Jesse's fangs

came poking out, did you...

No, not even.

But... he did kind of suspect.

Lissa, let me explain, please!

Let me talk...

Is it true?

You're gonna have

to be more specific, Mason.

Jesse and Ray, and not just

hooking up, fanging up.

- They claim they fed while...

- Absolutely not...

Well, actually, Jesse and I

did make out a little, but...

- Where there's smoke, there's fire.

- Leave fire out of this.

You girls throw yourselves

at any douche bag

who happens

to be Moroi and royal.

Whoa, Duckie. I do not have time

to deal with your feelings right now.

OK.

Oh, God, come on, Lissa-vision.

Where are you when I need you?

You should thank me

for changing the news cycle.

It took something epic to take

animal death and blood whoring

off the Vampire Academy front page.

Please don't say "Vampire Academy."

I find the term to be quite...

You set someone on fire!

Come on. Did you see

any burn marks on him?

Now whoever killed that fox

is going to feel the real heat.

Is this your idea of chivalry?

You did not just flip your hair back.

That's your move.

She's flirting, folks.

If we used our magic as a weapon,

instead of just for warm

and fuzzy classroom exercises,

the Strigoi wouldn't be picking us off.

- Yes, but the rules forbid...

- The rules?

Lissa, I've seen the way

you tilt your head from time to time.

I'm very sure I don't know

what you're talking about.

Hey, compulsion must have been

a necessity in the outside world.

You can't know all my secrets. Yet.

Queen Tatiana?

I hope I did not take you

too much by surprise,

but sometimes your queen awakens

with a need to look upon her lovelies.

Where's Vasilisa?

Vasilisa Dragomir?

Please come up

and let me see the princess.

Not a day goes by

where we don't lament

the loss of your parents

and your brother.

The Dragomir name represents

the finest of Moroi qualities.

While you, Vasilisa Dragomir,

the last of the Dragomir line...

if you are our future,

I am less than impressed.

The power that comes from royal blood

must be used responsibly.

While you... you give us

dead animals, blood games,

escapes to Oregon. Shameful!

- Queen Tatiana, I can explain.

- Shh, shh, shh.

Not now, dear.

However, I have every confidence

that our dear Vasilisa

will turn things around.

Now, let us adjourn to the banquet hall.

My father would never

have done something like that.

After all that Lissa has been through,

to be shamed by our queen bee?

Don't you mean queen bee-etch?

You don't talk to Lissa like that.

So much for round-the-clock guardians.

Lissa?

Oh, my God.

- By the soul of St. Vladimir.

- Who would do something like this? Why?

Go to the wall, Nat. Talk to me.

What?

Yeah, OK.

Oh, God.

- It's fresh, and it's Moroi.

- OK, can you tell me if it's royal?

- Don't be absurd.

- Said the girl licking the wall.

I can tell you it's more

than one person's blood.

They misspelled "beware."

Lissa, I can clean it up. I'm sorry.

Leave it. The misspelling shows

it was just a bunch of stupid teenagers.

OK, you know what, I'm gonna

go start packing. I'm really...

No, Rose. We can't just keep running

away, at least until we know

what we're running away from.

Ooh! A mystery, how exciting.

We can be like

three Nancy Drews trying...

I hate mysteries. I would prefer

a good Strigoi attack at this point

because at least I'd know what

those homicidal bloodsuckers want.

No more. I am taking our

dear beloved queen's advice,

and I'm turning things around.

Jesse and Ray are pawns.

Mia is the mastermind.

Yeah, but we didn't even

really know Mini-Mia

when we were compelled to leave

for the first time.

Ms. Karp is the one

that we should be focused on.

Do what you have to do, Dhampir. I am

done trying to crawl under the radar.

It's not possible,

and... it's not effective.

Besides, I have a way of getting

people to see my side of the story.

Don't worry,

Natalie knows of my skills.

It was too exhausting

keeping it from her.

Are you going to use compulsion on Mia?

Where's the fun in that?

I'm going to use compulsion

on everyone but Mia.

But compulsion on such a large scale...

Magic should be used for something more

than warm and fuzzy classroom exercises.

Oh, God, and now

you're quoting Christian?

- What?

- Yeah, I was there.

And the poison that that freak

is pumping into your brain

makes me want to vomit.

Lissa, I'm the reckless,

and you're the cautious, remember?

You've already taken

too many hits for me, Rose.

Look, it's your turn

to have a little cry,

and it's my turn to kick a little ass.

Whoa!

You do not jump out

at a guardian like that.

I think you mean novice.

Just wanted to know

if Lissa was all right.

Queen Tatiana had no right

to bring up family.

- I should go and talk to Lissa.

- Oh, don't worry about it.

But I do.

Lissa and I have a bond.

A bond?

Listen, Chris,

just stay away from her.

She's had her little flirtation

with the dark side, and she's done.

Lissa used to like Hot Topic, too,

and then she turned 12.

I was only concerned.

There's a fine line

between concerned and stalker.

Seriously, Christian, go away.

It's what Lissa wants.

OK.

I thought we'd practice out here,

away from there.

Dimitri, I know you must

have heard some rumors.

All that high-school der'mo

stays back there, not here.

This is life and death.

The silver.

Don't be afraid of it.

Besides the sun, this stake is

your only friend against the Strigoi.

But you must subdue the monster

and bring yourself to kill.

Yeah, killing Strigoi is

what it's all about, right?

Most Strigoi were once Moroi.

Some turn themselves Strigoi

by killing during the feeding process.

But many are turned by force.

If you are going to thrust, thrust.

My point is you might have known
