16- Better Entertainment


"Who is the person from literature that you would most like to meet and talk to? 
Why? What would you like to ask? "

                I have always loved reading. Specially fiction books. I love living in a world that the books provide me. Each time I read a new story, I would always imagine myself talking to the characters and being friends with them.

                One particular story in which I imagined myself talking with the characters would be Vampire Academy or VA. VA is all about Lissa Dragomir, a Moroi princess: a mortal vampire with an unbreakable bond to the earth's magic. She must be protected at all times from Strigoi; the fiercest and most dangerous vampires--the ones who never die.

                The powerful blend of human and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa's best friend, makes her a Dhampir; she is dedicated to a dangerous life of protecting Lissa from the Strigoi, who are hell-bent on making her one of them.

                After two years of illicit freedom, Rose and Lissa are caught and dragged back to St. Vladimir's Academy, hidden in the deep forests of Montana. Rose will continue her Dhampir education. Lissa will go back to being Queen of the elite Moroi social scene. And both girls will resume breaking hearts.

                Fear made Lissa and Rose run away from St. Vladimir's--but their world is fraught with danger both inside and out of the Academy's iron gates. Here, the cutthroat ranks of the Moroi perform unspeakable rituals and their secretive nature and love of the night creates an enigmatic world full of social complexities. Rose and Lissa must navigate through this dangerous world, confront the temptation of forbidden romance, and never once let their guard down, lest the Strigoi make Lissa one of them forever.

                I love Rose. I liked her character after reading the synopsis of the book. I found her to be witty, loyal and fun. I imagined myself asking her why they decided to leave the academy. What happened during the car accident? Do you regret staying in the school? How did she feel about Dimitry at first? How did it feel like being bonded to Lissa?

                I would picture all of it in my head. We would be under the shady trees of the Academy. Rose towering over my own 5"3. Her hair so silky and blowing with the wind. I would be sitting on the ground and starring up at her brown eyes. Then Dimitry will come to scold us for being out so late (since they're vampires, morning IS LATE.) And they would quarrel a bit and I would be entertained, even though only half of my questions were answered. We would go back to the dormitory with Rose fuming but blushing cutely because of her mentor, Dimitry.

                As I sit and imagine this, my mom would always come and scold me for not listening to her as she shouts out my chores. I would roll my eyes and say sorry and start doing the housework. Damn, I wish I was in the Academy right now with Rose and Dimitry. They're so much more entertaining than chores.
