…..

I stand in the great room, going between standing ramrod straight to pacing back and forth. "What do you mean, I'm leaving?" They were in the middle of packing the room up, I had yet packed a single thing. Partly in protest to not move. Especially since they're telling me that Im going to some academy in the back woods for Montana.

"It is meant as what I have told you countless times since we have gotten the news. Now go upstairs and pack your room." My mother had demanded me, with the same attitude I had shown them during this whole interaction. I had to admit that we had similar attitudes that caused loads of fights in the past.

"I'm not going." Sulking, throwing myself into the armchair in the corner of the room as I folded my arms. Looking down to my feet, I saw that I needed a new pair of shoes before these fall off my feet. We weren't poor in any means, but I had a bad habit to take my better shoes into the forest behind the house.

"That is enough young lady." I looked up in shock, it was my father that spoke. "Growling won't get you anywhere." Blinking a few times, I thought back – not realising that I had indeed been growling this whole time. Unfolding my arms to a hand hold in my lap, I looked up with as much puppy dog eyes, I could muster to turn his scowl into a look of endearing. A few moments go by before he shifted his body and came to the armchair. "You know little girl; this is the best alternative we have for you. They will protect you there while we are away on business." I rolled my eyes at his nickname for me. I was in no way a little girl anymore. I look up as my mother as she starts to speak.

"It's your last year and they are able to give you avenues for college next year. We really should have sent you there before your years in high school."

I could feel my anger getting the better of me now, but I didn't care at this point. "Oh I see, when you cant seem to control me you just send me away. Great excuse." I barked out the last two words harder than I intended.

"That's it!" Flinching under my fathers' anger now. He has had enough; I knew when to stop when he was done even done with my attitude. Ill give him credit, Abe normally didn't shout in this house. It was saved for me and Jeanine. He was always the voice of reason when it came to me and my mother. "Look Rose, you don't like this."

"Clearly," I interrupted before shrinking from the stare he gave me. Even that scared me, normally that was for business meetings. Not his daughter.

"You are to pack up your room, we are leaving in the morning." I started to get up, "Make sure you have the essentials with you since the rest will be shipped to the academy." He ended on a lighter note but still getting his point across that there was no room for arguing. Flying up, I stormed up to my room as I slammed the door. I beyond knew that I was overreacting, but this is my senior year. Why couldn't they have moved us before school started, now I'm moving in three months into the year. I also knew that I would be behind with this new school year, I wasn't the smartest person when it came to schoolwork.

Turning around my room, I looked by the door that had a pile of cardboard boxes for me to pack everything into. I set off to start packing my whole childhood into simple boxes.

A knock pulled me away from the music and memories that I was packing away. With a short acknowledgement that they were welcome in, the door opened to find my father. "Little girl." "Old man." We both said at the same time. He chuckled before taken a spot on my bed that was open. Most of it was scattered with posters, clothes and shoes.

"I know you're upset." I scoffed at that. That was clearly an understatement. "But I have spoken with the headmistress of the academy, they have colleges here in Vermont that will help you. But you need to attend at least the last year of schooling to be eligible for their help." He was pleading me to accept this offer. "Rosemarie." It was my mother this time. Gosh, I hated when anyone called me by my first name. It was Rose, not Rosemarie.

"Yes, mother." I looked up to her. I was still standing with a pair of converse in my hand.

She squinted her eyes; I could see that fight she was waging in her eyes. She didn't want an argument. Exhaling, I reproached her again. "Yes mom, can I help you?" Even though I was being nicer about her being here, there was still smoke venom on the words I spoke.

She didn't seem to notice as she strolled forward with what she came here for. "Honey, please just give this a chance. I don't want to have a repeat of what happened the end of the school year." I can see the pleading in her eyes, the water that rimmed them. I could see I had really frightened her just four and a half months ago. I frightened myself as well.

Looking down, I could see the rage of war coming up to the surface. Biting back the growl, the fight, the anger within myself. Going between the two sights in front of me, my father and mother. I nodded towards them. I would give it a shot. Even though every fibre in me was telling me to run to the woods and take that life that had offered me.

Abe had gotten up, straightening his fancy silk shirt before taking my mothers hand and headed for the door. "Oh, and I forgotten to tell you Rose." He put emphasize on my name, knowing I was getting mad at the use of my full name. "St. Vladimir's Academy has a combat class that you have been signed up for. Be ready for it." With that they exited my room, shutting the door.

I stood just outside the open door of my room, looking at everything in boxes apart from my bed which had nothing on it. I was saying the last goodbyes to my childhood home before I take the next step in my life. The new beginnings that my parents had promised me. I was in no way, happy with them but I was giving this a chance like I promised them. I picked up the backpack that had a few different outfits in it and my purse that had the more essential things I needed like my id, passport, money, toothbrush, a book, make up, toiletries. Most of my belongings were packed up in the boxes. They were being shipped later today and should be at the academy by the end of the week. It was Saturday morning, and our flight was taking off in a few hours.

"Are you ready Rose?" I could hear my father behind me. I breathed out a few times before turning around with a small smile on my lips. Nodding towards him, trying my best to put my best foot forward.

"As long as were grabbing some hot chocolate before the flight?" I formed more as a question than a statement. I knew he would give me what I wanted, within reason. But I didn't want to be the command spoiled rich girl that most of the teenage girls were in this neighbourhood were. That still didn't stop me from trying to get what I wanted as well. I was far from the innocence, rise above conflict of the given main character of books that are coming out every day. Abe nodded with a mischievous smile that I knew meant he was up to no good. "Alright old man, what do you have planned?" I stated to him before walking passed him, down the stairs. Even though I was late for most things in my life, more important events, I made sure to be on time for. A flight being an example.

My father was unnaturally quiet for the thirty-five minutes car ride to Burlington International Airport. He was up to something, I knew it. He would normally be talking my ear off on car rides. I looked from both my mother and father, my mother was the one driving and my father in the passenger seat. "Okay, guys what is going on? You've never been this quiet before." I could see my parents giving each other before speaking up. "There maybe some people seeing you off at the airport." They seemed to be incredibly pleased with themselves. I was gobsmacked.

"You didn't." I got out, shacking. "Who?" I asked, rapidly turning between both my parents.

They didn't seem to notice my panic as they tell me that I will see once we make it to the airport. I rode the rest of the way looking at the window. Saying goodbye to the state that I grew up in.

I was jolted awake when my mother slammed on the brakes, cussing out towards the person in front of us that seemed to cut her off. I didn't even realise that I had fallen asleep, cussing myself under my breathe as I gained my barring's. Shortly after waking, we were parked and out of the SUV. Gathering our belongings to go check them in. Since my parents were only going to be with me to sign paperwork for the school, given two days in Montana, they weren't bringing checked baggage. They had allowed me to have a checked bag, a carry on and a personal bag. Seemed reasonable given the fact that I won't have any of my things until the end of the week. Apparently, there were guest housing on campus that they were staying in until they leave the country.

I was rudely aware of what was to come next, some people were coming to see me off. Great, that's just what I want. Don't get me wrong, I had friends that I was going to miss but most of them were prissy and stuck up to even think of how I would feel about this.

I push my way and strive forward through the crowded airport, looking for the right check in counter. My parents were on my tail, seeming to drag their feet. Looking back towards them, I urged them to hurry before we were late to get to our gate.

We had made it to the exit of when we had to go through security. I had been through the airport countless times before and it was nothing new. I was preparing to go through the line as I heard an ear-piercing screech that made me wish I couldn't hear at all. "Ahh just in time." I heard my old man comment before I turned towards the noise. Putting on my best face and getting my excitement up I encircled my arms around the girls that were just behind me. There was Ava, Jackey and Emily. I could hear my parents behind me snickering back and forth. I turned my head and gave them a sharp look before turning my attention back to the girls. It was all a blur as they continue with telling me they'll miss me; they love me and to visit soon.

"Any room for one more?" I heard a deep voice coming from a few feet away. I could feel my blood run cold. How did he know I was here? I didn't tell him that was for sure. Abe…

Trying my hardest to not outright punch him in the face, it also taken everything inside myself to smile at him. There in his own glory stood, Jesse. Someone that I had shortly dated from the middle of my junior year to the end of the year. It didn't end on the best of terms, and I knew he still wanted to be with me. I didn't want him to be here and would take these girls screeching all day in other was of torture. My father didn't know what happened with him and just thought we ended things since I was moving away.

I could feel my mother present behind me, gripping my arm before I could say two words to Jesse. "Come on Rose, we have to go through security." I could feel myself shake slightly as I nodded. Saying a quick goodbye towards everyone, I scurried away to security. I wasn't even halfway taking off my shoes as I hear the deep voice come from behind me. "I'll see you on the flight Rose." I hurried to get through the metal detectors, to get the toilets just by the gates we had.

Trying and failing to keep my composure, I grabbed my bags from the belt as it came through the scanners, my shoes already on. I sped walked around the terminal. The toilets were insight. I could barely breathe as it was, I could feel my hands gripping and ungrasping as I continued forward. Not looking back to any of my party. Pushing the doors of the toilets, I walk through closing the door of the stall behind me. Dropping my things to the floor as I gasped quickly. Still failing to keep my composure. This had to be Abe's idea, my mother wouldn't even allow the plan to come about if she knew. And here he is to be on my flight? Scampering to grab my wallet from my bag. I looked to the tickets that were there, they had me in charge of holding them until we needed to board. We were in business class, only two seats together. Scanning each ticket, I saw that indeed there were four tickets in my grasp. Abe, Jeanine's, Jesse's, and mine. "Shit." I spoke out harshly.

"Rosemarie." I could here a harsh whisper. "Rose, please answer me." I was still exhaling deeply, feeling not only fear coming out but anger. My body was feeling boiling hot to the touch, I knew this feeling. "Rosemarie, answer me, I can hear you." She knew the signs as well. I unlocked the stall door and made room for her to push through. "Listen to me," she spoke to me clearly. "We need you to calm down before anything else happens."

"He can not be coming along Janine." I was harsh in my words, but I could see in her eyes that she didn't blame me or was angry with me. This was the only time we had gotten along. The understanding in her eyes as I knew she cared for me deeply.

"I didn't know he was coming either. Your father was the one that had set this whole thing up without telling me." She gripped my shoulders, rubbing circles into them. It only calmed me down a fraction. "Your father will be hearing about this and I promise you that I will fix this." I looked into her eyes, seeing the truth there. "But I needed you to cool down before we do anything else."

"He's seating next to me mom." I spoke out, willing the burning in my eyes to go away. Willing the my boiling blood to cool, needing ice cubes to be dropped in the cup that I seem to be boiling away in. She gripped the back of my neck, instantly feeling the ice cooling me down, I was still looking into her eyes.

"Switch with your dad. He needs to question the boy anyway. I know this to be true, the boy wont step out of line with your father." I grasp at courage to ask the next question that came to my mind.

"Is he going to be attending St. Vlad's with me?" I whispered my question. Wishing to not be true. It can't be true, my father couldn't be that dense to let some guy was my first boyfriend to flight with us and attend a special school with our needs.

I could see my mother hesitate before she spoke, "your father just told me that he will be attending this year with you." She moved her hands to my face, my cheeks in each hand of hers. "But I promise this to you Rose, even that night, I will protect you. He will not be staying for long; he won't be allowed near you." After she spoke that, she engulfed me into a hug. The first one in months. With that, I could feel my blood turn back to normal. My temperature was still returning to normal, but we were in the clearing.

I spent most of the plane ride drifting between sleep and reading the book I had in my purse. I wasn't bothered by anyone, and I sat next to my mother. Janine had talked my father into switching. I wasn't sure on what the conversation held but it was well executed. My father didn't speak much about why we had both gone to the toilets. He did know how my bladder worked, when I needed to go, there was no stopping me on going.

We had a rental car picked out to drive us to the academy. It was another hours drive before we got to the front gates, and I was dreading the whole ride. I sat in the back with Jesse and my parents in the front. This time my father was driving since there were nothing but winding roads. My mother was more of the normal streets and motorway than the small, rounding roads that Montana had. My father excelled at that.

I kept my gaze out the side window to not gain communication with Jesse or anyone. They respected my wishes as I put my headphones in to listen to some music. Without completely blasting my eardrums out, I put it up as much as my sensitive ear could take it and watched as the academy came into view.

I was in no way ready for this, to start a new school or to even be the new kid on the block. Though I made a promise and I stuck with my promises no matter how much it tore me up inside. By the time that we gotten to the Academy it was near ten o'clock. I pulled my headphones out of my ears just in time as my father to speak telling us that we had a meeting with the headmistress in thirty minutes.

I could feel my jaw drop as the sights of the academy came in sight. A school was an understatement, for sure. I was a mixture between a castle estate and Harvard University campus. It was clearly built in Victorian time period. "Wow." I spoke. Still blown away with the Academy. I started thinking that this wouldn't be so bad, without the reminder that Jesse was sitting right next to me. It crossed my mind that we wouldn't see much of each other on this campus. There were probably girls and boy's dorms away from each other and I'm sure that we had different classes.

We pulled up to what I assumed to be the main building of campus. I was out the door before putting the car in park. Turning in circles to take everything I saw in, there was no way I would see the whole campus by the time I graduate. But I was promising myself to take on that challenge.

I flinched at the touch on my arm, it was my father telling me to come with them. We left our things in the car apart from my mothers and my purse and entered the main building. Jesse tagged along shortly behind me, keeping his distance from me. Which was good, I didn't even want to be in the same building as him let alone the same state as him. I believed Jeanine when she promised she would protect me, that he wouldn't be here for awfully long.

Every step through each door that I made, I became more breathless. It was a beautiful building. Finally reaching an office that had a door behind the reception administration. There sat an older lady with grey hair. She smiled up to us before asking what we needed. We were let in with only a few words from my parents and the lady. When we walked in through the double doors, I breathed out "Wow." Smacking my forehead, feeling like an idiot with only one-word same answers within the last hour. Shaking my head quickly, I entered the office to see it covered in bookcases, grand bookcases at that. The ones you only see in universities and private expensive schools. Not public high schools at all. I heard a chuckle come from the side of the room, snapping my head there I could see a tall gentleman walking out. I couldn't see much of him apart from the shoulder length hair that fell to his shoulders.

I snapped back towards the lady standing behind her desk, smiling towards my parents and then towards me. "Welcome to St. Vlademir's Academy."
