ABSTRACT
ABSTRAK
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Robert (1987:1) says, “Literature refers to compositions that tell the
stories, dramatize situations, expresses emotions, and analyze and advocate
ideas.” This statement shows that literature as a reflection of life.
Richelle Mead is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of
urban fantasy books for bot adults and teens. She is known for The Georggina
Kincaid Series, Vampire Academy, and The Dark Swan Series. The Vampire
Academy tells about the war between three races of vampire, living and undead.
There are types of Moroi, Stigoi and Dhampir.
Moroi is a kind of pure-blooded vampire who can not live forever and
brittle, meaning Moroi vampire could die. Strigoi is a vampire immortal, they can
not die. They are killing machines that tell themselves for eternal life. Dhampir
are creatures created from the marriage Moroi with human or Moroi with others
Dhampir. For objective that is, schools like St.Vladimir Academy established in
places hidden from human view and Strigoi. In this story, Rose Hathaway is a
Dhampir and bodyguard for her bestfriend, Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi the noble
family. There are twelve noble families of the Moroi, and Lissa Dragomir is the
only surviving descendant, which makes it as the daughter of the Dragomir clan.
And it is making it as a target by the Strigoi who want to remove the Moroi blood
line nobility.
Rose Hathaway, a 17-year old half-vampire, is training to be a bodyguard
well as an illicit romance with one of her teacher. As significant events from two
years earlier are slowly revealed, it becomes evident that the secrets of the past
hold many clues to the drama unfolding in the present.
But not before Rose and Dimitri are put out of action in a highly original
way, allowing Lissa to be kidnapped by someone very close to her. It is up to
Rose to work out where she is, engineer her rescue, and try to block the evil
designs of the mastermind behind everything.
The witer will discuss the murder and the three kind of vampires depiction
in the novel. Lissa Dragomir is the only surviving descendant of Dragomir which
makes it as the successor to the clan Dragomir princess. And it is making it as a
target by Victor. Rose is a personal bodyguard who tried to save Lissa Dragomir
but the official bodyguard of Lissa Dragomir is Dimitri Belikov.
1.2 Problem of the Study
Based on the background of the analysis, the writer will discuss:
1) What is the murder?
2) What kind of vampires pictured in the novel “Vampire Academy”?
1.3 Scope of the Study
In this novel, there are many aspects can be discussed, but the writer will
just focus on murder and vampire pictured in Vampire Academy novel.
1.4 Purpose of the Study
The purpose of writer in making this paper is:
1) To know who want to kill Lissa Dragomir and Rose Hathaway.
3) To describe about the three kind of vampires in this novel.
1.5 Method of the Study
The writer uses the method library research in writing this paper. The first

understanding the whole story of the novel, the writer reads and searchs data in
the library to get the information about the murder and three kinds of vampires

1.6 Reason for Choosing the Topic
The writer has chosen vampire murder and pictured as the subject of this
paper. The story is taken from the bestseller novel. This novel tells the story of the
life of a vampire who has aspecial ability. Lissa Dragomir is a spirit user element,
the element that is rarely could be found and been forgotten. This element
becomes the target of this element because the user can heal and revive the dead,
but many people who oppose the use of this element because it means they are the
same because god heal and revive the dead as they like and also the use of these
2. REVIEW AND RELATED LITERATURE
Roberus and Jacobs (1987:2) say, “Lierature is classified into four genres:
prose fiction, poetry, drama, and prose nonfiction.” From the four genres, the
writter choosed to discuss that is the prose fiction, exactly on novel. Fiction is
distinguished from the works it imitates, such as historical accounts, reports,
biographies, autobiographies, letters, and personal memoirs and meditations.
Eagleton (1983:1) says, “There have been various attempts to define
literature. You can define it, for example as “imaginative” writing in the sense of
fiction-writing which is not really true. But even the briefest reflection on what
people commonly include under the heading of literature suggests that this will
do.” Literature as imaginative writing is reflected from people thought, that is not
really true. Eagleton (1983 : 9) also says “ Literature in the sense of a set of works
of assured and unalterable value, distinguished by certain shared inherent
properties, does not exist.” In other word, literature work has value of sense that
can not be changed.
Peck and Coyle (1984 : 102) say, “Novel reflects a move away from an
essentially religious view of life towards a new interest in the complexities of
everyday experience. “ In other word, they say that most novel are concerned with
ordinary people and their problems in the societies in which they find themselves.
Peck and Coyle (1986:102) say, “Most people are concerned with ordinary people
and their problems in the societies in which they find themselves. Some of novels
are fictions and some based on true stories.” The novels are entertained and also
Fananie (2000:6) says, “Literature is a fiction that are created based on
emotion spontaneously capable of expressing the ability aspects of beauty are
both based aspects of language and aspects of meaning.” This human capable of
presenting creative ideas and life experiences with literary art form. The form of
literary content of thoughts, feelings, experiences, ideas, beliefs and spirit of
others.
Waston (1979:3) says, “Novel is the name of literary kind, and there is a
story to tell about how, over the centuries, its substance has widened and its
conventions changed.” It means that novel is literary work that narrate life story in
centuries ago. Novels have significant elements: characters, plots, structures, and
themes. Waston (1979:3) says, “A novel is a way learning about how things were
or are cognitive instrument: and those who distruct stories as evidence should
consider how often in conversation we use them to make ponits or answer
question.” It means that we can learn about things were or are cognitive
instrument from a novel.
Wellek and Warren (1971:3) says, “Literature is the mirror of human life
that potrays human feeling, thought, imagination and perception which can be
viewed based on personal judgment.” In other word, literature constitutes the
imaginative act from the human’s imagination and interpreting life-experiences.
Literature transforms and intensifies ordinary language, deviates systematically
from everyday speech. Esten (1978:9) says, “Literature is literary or disclosure of
thought languange as a medium and has a positive effect on human life
(humanity).”
Steward (1989:618) says that the novel is a long essay in prose and
contains a series of stories of one’s life with others around him to accentuate the
character and nature of each actor.
Rostamaji (1990:124) says, “The novel is a literature that has two
elements, namely: intrisrtic and extrinsic elements. Elements tahat are related
because both are very effect in the presence of a piece of literature.
Gray (1984:140) says, “Novels are long prose fictions, including every
kind of plot (tragic, comic), all styles and manners of dealing with their material
(from the satiric to the rhapsodic) and showing a capacity to cover every
imaginable subject matter from all points of view.” In other word, a novel is a
long prose fiction almost always concentrating on character and incident, and
usually containing a plot. The intrinsic elements are truly seen from the novel.
Novel has some intrinsic elements, such as theme, plot, character, setting, point
of view and style .
Charles (1989:217) says that assassination is the act of eliminating or
killing someone. Definition of such killings is understood that the murder was not
a crime classified whether done intentionally, or unintentionally and intentionally
or semi. It means that nothing is exempt under criminal charges for criminal the
assassination perpetrators. From the proposed definition, the assassination can be
classified on deliberate murder, murder was not intentional and deliberate killing
3.THE ANALYSIS
3.1 The Murder
The murder that happened in this novel did by Victor, Natalie, and Dimitri.
They are come from different clan. Victor Dashkov kidnapped Lissa Dragomir
from dance party that held by St. Vladimir Academy. He ordered Kanneth to
brought some people to kidnapping Lissa and injuring Christian. Kanneth brought
Lissa to Victor. Rose was hit by magic formula from Victor’s necklace, it made
Rose did not know what happened on Lissa. Victor brought lissa to the cottage. A
guard pushed Lissa and locked her. Victor stopped Rose so that she did not know
his plan. Rose was conscious from the magic formula. Rose could directly
telephaty with Lissa and she told it to Dimitri. Dimitri and Rose chased them and
then Victor asked Lissa to heal him from Sandovsky’s Syndrome that can kill him
slowly. Lissa refused Victor’s demand but Victor kept insisted her. Lissa tought if
Victor be a king, he would make Moroi and Strigoi fight each other.
Mead (2007:294) “You're the only way,” he said patiently. “The only way to cure this disease. I've been watching you for years, waiting until I was certain.”
Victor told Lissa that he had overseen her for two years. Victor was very
amazed with Lissa’s skill and thought that only Lissa could heal his disease, Lissa
refused Victor’s demand again. Victor already tired to persuade Lissa to heal him,
he told Lissa about car accident that happened by Rose and Lissa’s family. Victor
red all the reports about the accident and found evidance that Rose in that
situation had serious injury and should died. Victor asked Lissa again to
nicely. Victor’s disease did not the disease that could heal just like that. Victor
should analyze how Lissa used her skill and how big it is.
Victor already found that Lissa has specialist in spirit. Spirit is the skill
that can heal and make people alive back from the death such as plants, animals
and also human. Spirit element rarely found in Moroi clan and many people forget
that the spirit still exists. Lissa did not know that her skill was really special.
Victor knew, Victor could not asked her nicely because he afraid that. Lissa
forbidden to use her special skill, so that his intention known by St. Vladimir
Academy. Victor said that many people thinks that it was not right thing to use the
spirit because it meant they equal with God and would gave bad impact to the user
because it would weaten their physie and also mental. This ease happened with
Vladimir and Sonya Karps. Lissa surprised with all Victor said. Victor said that
Lissa could not control her spirit skill and Mentor from academy would give her
pill to kill her skill. Althougt Victor told all of his intention to Lissa but Lissa
refused Victor’s demand. Victor gave small signal to Kanneth.
Mead (2007:301) Kenneth didn't stop with just the physical force of air. He also used it to affect her breathing. Sometimes he'd smother her with it; other times he'd take it all away and leave her gasping. After enduring all that firsthand—and it was bad enough secondhand—I felt pretty confident I would have done anything they wanted.
Lissa started felt ill, she screamed. Rose that has telephaty skill with Lissa
could felt and know what happened with Lissa at the same time. Kanneth used his
air spirit skill to hurt Lissa’s body and Rose also could felt it. Dimitri, who also
With all the pain that Lissa taken from Kanneth, finally Lissa gave up and
obeyed Victor’s demand. With her weak body, Lissa tried to concentration and
sent her magic to Victor. Lissa was slowly weaker and Victor was stronger.
Victor’s apperiance was stronger without wrinkle from his face. Lissa was
unconscious after felt tired. Rose, Dimitri and the guards arrived and arrenged the
strategy and ready to scatter. Rose did not allow to enter and save lissa beacause it
was too danger. Dimitri and the guards went through to forest when Rose lied on
her car. Lissa’s view backs into Rose’s mind. Lissa lied on sofa and saw through
window the guards who were watching her. Lissa was success to compulsion the
guard to not stop her to ascaped from window.
Lissa surprised when Christian came approached her and asked about
Lissa. She told that Lissa ran away from cottage. Rose and Christian went to chase
Lissa. Christian injured and stopped to cathed up Rose because she was really
fast. Rose continued her journey and heard Psi-hounds’ howl.
Mead (2007:306) Victor had said he hunted with them; he could control those beasts. I suddenly understood why no one at school recalled sending psi-hounds after Lissa and me in Chicago. The Academy hadn't arranged that; Victor had.
Rose met Lissa but they were surrounded by Psi-hounds. Psi-hounds was
kind of wolf. Rose took a wood as her weapon to fight with hounds.
Psi-hounds tried to clawed and bit Lissa but she was success to throw them to the
ground. Psi-hounds tried to attack again but Christian came to helped them. Rose
and Christian worked together to beat the Psi-hounds until Alberta came and shot
the Psi-hounds by her gun. Rose, Lissa and Alberta approached Christian who had
Mead (2007:309) All three of us made our way over to it—Lissa and I practically crawling. When I saw it, I had to look away. My stomach lurched, and it took a lot of effort not to throw up. He wasn't dead yet, but I didn't think he had much longer. Lissa's eyes, wide and distraught, drank him in. Tentatively, she reached out toward him and then dropped her hand. “I can't,” she managed in a small voice. “I don't have the strength left.”
Lissa wanted to help Christian but she was also really weak so Rose gave
her neck to bit by Lissa and sucked Rose’s blood so that Lissa gained her energy
back. But after gave her blood, Rose was the one who unconscious and weaker.
Lissa put her hand to Christian’s injury and tried to heal it. Christian opened his
eyes and back alive again. Dimitri found them all and brought them back to
academy.
Lissa accompanied Rose who lied down in academy’s clinic for two days.
After went out from clinic, Rose tried to met Victor who was in prison. Rose
demanded him an explanation what happened about him and Lissa. He told Rose
that he would did everything to his populace. Suddenly, Natalie appeared from the
corner side to helped Victor escaped from prison. Natalie approached Rose and
threw Rose’s body to the wall. Natalie opened the cell for Victor and then back to
Rose. She made Rose’s head hit the wall for several times until blood ran out from
Rose’s mouth and nose.
Mead (2007:320) “My dear,” murmured Victor, “try not to kill her if you don't have to. We might be able to use her later.”
Natalie obeyed whatever Victor instructed to her. Natalie still watched
Rose and desirous to killed her. Victor has changed his daughter turned to be
Strigoi. Natalie attacked Rose again by threw her to the wall again. Then, Dimitri
still could not use her power and Dimitri took this opportunity to attack her. He
took out his silver dowel and stuck it exact on Natalie’s heart. Natalie screamed
and fell down to the ground. Victor could catch again by the guards.
3.2. The Murderers
3.2.1 Victor Dashkov (Victor)
Victor is a caring and generous man towards Lissa and connects to her
because the fact that he is a close friend of her family and Dashkov ever share
popularity with Dragomir because they have jade green eyes. He learned about
spirit and knew that Lissa really controlled that element. He wanted her to heal his
of Sandovsky Syndrome, a chronic disease that was slowly killing him and
ultimately prevented him from being a king. To test her power, he asked his
daughter, Natalie, to kill the animals in various locations and over see if Lissa
could really bring them back to life. Eventually, he kidnapped her and forced her
to heal him while distracting Rose and Dimitri by creating a lust charm that made
them lost their base instincts. He was caught and arrested the Academy’s prison
but he convinced his own daughter to turn to be Strigoi so she could free him. He
told Rose that he had a paln about revolution that would make him become a king.
Mead (2007:318) “There are other ways of taking power. Sometimes it's necessary to go outside the established channels. The greatest and most powerful revolutions often start very quietly, hidden in the shadows.”
He learned about spirit and knew that Lissa really controlled that element.
He wanted her to heal him of Sandovsky's Syndrome, a chronic disease that was
slowly killing him and ultimately preventing him from being King. To test her
really bring them back to life. Eventually, he kidnapped her and forced her to heal
him while distracting Rose and Dimitri by creating a lust charm that made them
give in to their base instincts. He was captured and held in the Academy's cell but
he convinced his own daughter to turn Strigoi so she could free him. He told Rose
that he had planned a revolution that would make him become king.
3.2.2 Natalie Dashkov
Natalie Dashkov is Victor Dashkov’s daughter and a cousin of Lissa’s. At
the end of Vampire Academy, she is persuaded by her father to turn to be Strigoi
and is later killed by Dimitri after that. She is described as dull and did not want to
involve in any social scene like the most of other Moroi usually. Natalie spent
most her time a Vampire Academy spying on Lissa, trying to catch her in the act
of using spirit. She killed animals and left them for Lissa to heal them, help Lissa
drove her to the edge then used her earth magic to injure Rose. At the end of
Vampire Academy, Natalie’s father convinced her to be a Strigoi. To become a
Strigoi, Natalie sacrificed has old Slavic art teacher, Mr. Nagy. Then she tried to
help her father escape from the prison. After brutally assaulted Rose, Natalie was
killed by Dimitri Belikov with some helps from Rose.
Mead (2007: 320) Natalie paused in her attack, giving me a moment to back up, but she never took her cold eyes off me.
Based on the above excerpt shown that Natalie was really hated Rose.
Natalie looks so cool and full of hatred. Natalie looked at Rose with a look that
suggests that Natalie wants to grab it. In the eyes of Natalie looks red circle that
surrounds her pupils, Natalie looks so pale at the edges of his mouth and there
Strigoi. Natalie looks very hungry and really wants to drink the blood rose. After
brutally assaulting Rose, Natalie is killed by Dimitri Belikov with some help from
Rose.
3.2.3 Dimitri Belikov
Dimitri Belikov is a Dhampir and the second child and the only son of an
abusive Moroi and Olena Belikov, his mother. He is the younger brother of
Karolina Belikova and older brother to Sonya Belikova and Viktoria Belikova. He
is a famous guardian, be a guard of Princess Lissa Dragomir. When Lissa won the
throne, Dimitri was assigned by Lissa’s boyfriend, Christian Ozera. Dimitri is the
boyfriend, and also as the teacher of famous guardian, Rose Hathaway. Dimitri

Dimitri always puts his duty as a guardian before his personal desires. He

3.3 The Motive of Murder 3.3.1 To be a King
Victor Dashkov very ambitious to be a king, but because he has limitations
that affected Sandovsky's Syndrome which makes it refused to be a leader for the
Moroi. Victor reasoned desire to be a leader because he loved his people and
would do anything for his people.
Mead (2007:316) He declared, leaning against the wall. “I'd do it again if I could. Believe what you want, I love my people. What I wanted to do was in their best interest.”
Victor will do anything like kidnapped Lissa order to cure him of the
disease Sandovsky's Syndrome is being sustained and he will do anything to
achieve his desire, and he has changed his daughter into a Strigoi. To release him
from custody.
3.3.2 To Escape
Natalie is the daughter of Victor, innocent girl and she loves her father.
She's always looking for her father's attention. She was very trustingutterance
spoken by her father. He will do whatever her father told even if it cost her life.
He changed into a Strigoi sake ofher father.
Mead (2007:321) “My father's a great man,” she replied. “He's going to save the Moroi from the Strigoi.” “I had to do it to get him out of here before the others came.One Strigoi to save all of the Moroi. It's worth it, worth giving up the sun and the magic.” “But you'll want to kill Moroi! You won't be able to help it.” “He'll help me stay in control. If not, then they'll have to kill me.”
Natalie believes that his father will rescue and bring great change for the
Natalie will sacrifice herself if there is no way to control the power of the
indwelling Strigoi.
3.3.3 To Save Rose
Dimitri Belikov is the official guardian of Lissa Dragomir, he was
assigned to protect Lissa from the Strigoi and a mentor of the Rose. Lissa had two
guards on duty to protect that Rose and Dimitri, but when Rose tried finding out
the truth happens to Victor when kidnapped Lissa. Rose suddenly attacked by
Natalie who have be a Strigoi. She hit the wall with Rose head very hard. Rose
put out a lot of blood from the back of the mouth, Dimitri come and protect Rose
who was severely injured, she attacked Natalie. He is used a Silver Stake that
have been filled by the four elements to kill Natalie.
Mead (2007:322) Dimitri, however, knew how to use the ones he had. After both giving and receiving some vicious hits, he made his move. The silver stake flashed in his hand like a streak of lightning, then it snaked forward—into her heart. He yanked it out and stepped back, his face impassive as she screamed and fell to the floor. After a few horrible moments, she stopped moving.
Dimitri has only one way to kill Natalie. Dimitri issued silver stakes.
Dimitri stuck a silver stake right in the heart of Natalie. Natalie yelled and he fell
on the floor. Natalie did not move. Dimitri managed to kill him.
3.4 The Victims
There are some victims who attacked by the murderer in this novel such as
Lissa Dragomir, and Rose Hathaway. Lissa Dragomir is the last descendant of the
clan Dragomir. Lissa is very friendly, kind, compassionate, beautiful, captivating,
and looks around eighteen, she is tall and slim. She has a beautiful pale-skinned
think out a plan before taking action, though she has complete faith in Rose's
ability to protect her. Lissa is extremely skilled in social interactions, due in part
to the natural charisma that spirit brings about but also due to her personality.
She dislikes being a part of the Academy's social crowd because it just
involves too many head games and it tires her out. Lissa is very intelligent and
works hard at her schoolwork. She dislikes that most Moroi are forced to go small
colleges for their own protection, which is why she accepted the Queen's offer to
attend Lehigh University. It is said that she has perfect grades.
Lissa has a special ability that spirit, she was thought to have not
specialised at all, but the truth is revealed by Victor. Lissa is an excellent healer
although using too much takes a mental toll on her. Her sensitivity makes her
want to use her powers when she sees something hurt or killed. Interms of making
her targeted. Spirit is an ability that can heal and revive plants that have died like
animals and humans. She has a kind heart, usually tries to reach out to people and
will go out of her way to make others feel included. She hates to see others in
pain, especially people she cares about, which is the primary reason she wants to
continue using spirit, because she loves the fact that she can use it to help people.
She also has great love for animals, and despises seeing them in pain as well.
Every time she uses her power it gives her depression. Which causes her to make
cuts on her arm. She makes Rose Shadow-Kissed by bringing her back to life
following the car crash which killed her.
Lissa has the ability to use her compulsion to an extraordinary extent. She
and physically harms whoever she is compelling. She sometimes accidentally uses
it, not realising her capabilities. She can also compel more than one person at
once.
The second victim is Rose Hathaway. She is a guardian of Lissa Dragomir.
Rose has very powerful protective instincts. Rose is extremely beautiful and has
curves, with full breasts and rounded hips. She stands five-foot-seven, but is the
shortest compared to her friends, which are mostly male given that most dhampir
guardians and novices are males. She has thick, long dark brown hair that shines
black in the right light, her mother's dark brown eyes, and her father's tanned skin,
which she herself describes as being "the colour of the inside of an almond".
Rose was a reckless and impulsive person. She enjoyed partying, drinking
and boys, often getting herself and others into trouble just for fun. In the first
novel, she considered herself a novelty, as she was always pulling off crazy stunts
and makes the wise crack for entertainment. Rose remains a social creature. She
could be friendly, warm, not shying away from meeting new people, and has
considerable skill in social interactions. Very much like Lissa, Rose has a certain
charisma that attract people and make them flock to her, but there is still a
significant difference in this charm: Lissa's allure stems from her royal refinement
and intelligence while Rose's charm originates from her witty sense of humour,
her sharp brilliance, and her formidable talent in Moroi protection. Rose can be
very sarcastic and sharp-tongued at times. She always has a smartass comment
back with a witty insult. She doesn't hesitate to speak her mind, and can be
extremely stubborn in her opinions.
She cannot stand to sit back and see people get hurt, always trying to do
something to help wherever possible, even if for a complete and total stranger.
She is extraordinarily devoted to helping innocent people and protecting the
Moroi. Rose always stands beside Lissa. Rose has a feature that she got from
Lissa, after Lissa save his life. Rose could see what was going on and that is being
experienced by Lissa. Capabilities of Rose called Shadow Kiss. That power is
very rare and seldom found among the Dhampir, Rose could watch Lissa anytime
without having to be near with her.
3.5 Vampire
There are some types of Vampire such as Moroi, Strigoi and Dhampir.
They have different potray between these Vampires. Moroi are benevolent
vampire. They are alive, mortal and born. Moroi can see, hear, taste and touch
better than human. Moroi are very beautiful and their skin is described as being
very pale. Their body is tall and slim. Moroi are much taller and slimmer than
human. Due to their slim body, female Moroi in general have smaller breast and
slimmer hips than their Dhampir. Moroi female are described as a supernatural
beauty.
Most Moroi do not feel comfortable being under the sunlight, though they

SUMMARY OF THE NOVEL
Vampire Academy is the first book in the Vampire Academy series by the
American author Richelle Mead. This book chronicles the life of 17-years-old
Rose Hathaway, commonly known as Rose, a Dhampir and her Moroi bestfriend
Lissa Dragomir after being brought back to their school St Vladimir’s Academy
after being on the run for two years.
Guardian in training Rose Hathaway and royal Moroi princess Lissa
Dragomir are forced back to their school, St. Vladimir's Academy, after running
away two years ago. Upon their return, Guardian Dimitri Belikov, the leader of
the guardians sent to track them down, is assigned to be Lissa's guardian. He
offers to mentor Rose in extra classes, as he feels that she has potential and by
working hard she can make up for the years she has lost. He also believes that
Rose can be the ideal guardian for Lissa due to a rare, one-sided bond to Lissa
which allows her to tap into the latter's emotions, thoughts and most importantly,
her whereabouts. Rose agrees, conceding to the reality that this is the only way
she will even have a chance to be appointed, on graduation, as Lissa's guardian.
Though they quickly fall into Academy life, they discover that Lissa has
lost her social place among the elite Moroi, a consequence of Rose and Lissa
running away. They decide to keep company with Lissa's cousin, Natalie
Dashkov, who is the daughter of the frail and dying Victor Dashkov. On the very
first day back, they find that another Moroi student, Mia Rinaldi, is dating Lissa's
also dislikes Rose. Mia uses every opportunity to taunt Lissa, and is in turn
insulted and threatened by Rose.
Lissa befriends Christian Ozera, a well-known Moroi who is negatively
thought of due to his parents Lucas and Moira's reputation of
becoming Strigoi willingly; this sparks worry from Rose who believes he is
heading down the same path. It is also implied that Rose is jealous due to Lissa's
interest in him, but Rose in turn starts falling for Dimitri. Things proceed to get
worse after Lissa finds dead animals in her room and threatening letters written in
blood. As a result, Lissa becomes depressed and engages in self-harm. It is also
revealed that although Lissa still hasn't specialised in any of the four elements, she
has a remarkable ability to heal, previously witnessed by Rose and Sonya Karp.
They find out that Lissa has affinity for spirit, a rare element with negative side
effects after use. This incident, coupled with her increasing depression, was what
had caused Rose to run away with Lissa.
After Mia convinces Jesse and Ralf to spread the rumour that Rose slept
with both of them and let them take her blood, Rose is regarded with a sense of
horror. As revenge, Lissa uses compulsion to work her way back into her old
group of friends, convincing them not to talk to Mia anymore. She eventually
succeeds in winning Aaron back. Lissa also uses compulsion to convince people
that Jesse and Ralf are lying. Rose later discovers from her friend, Mason, that
Mia is from a very low class family and uses it against her.
During Sunday service, Rose hears that the saint, St. Vladimir, could heal
his loyal guardian, the "shadow-kissed" Anna with whom he shared a bond. On
returning from a shopping trip with Lissa, Natalie and Victor, Rose has an
accident; when she wakes up, she is stunned to see that has made a miraculous
recovery but quickly deduces that Lissa used spirit to heal her. She reaches into
her bond and discovers that Lissa is lying in the attic of the church, bleeding from
self-inflicted wounds. Her reporting Lissa's dangerous behavior causes a fracture
in their friendship. Lissa stops talking to Rose, believing she betrayed her, and so
Rose loses all popularity she had gained.
Somehow discovering Lissa's depression, Mia tells everybody; this causes
Rose to punch her and break her nose. Detained by teachers and guardians, Rose
is unable to follow Lissa as she runs away in dismay. She reaches through the
bond while confined to her room and finds that Christian is with her. He's
knocked unconscious and Lissa is kidnapped by several guardians. Rose goes to
tell Dimitri, but instead forgets upon seeing him and they end up almost making
love. Dimitri takes a necklace from her: the one she received as a present from
Victor. Rose suddenly remembers that Lissa is in danger when he throws it out the
window. It is discovered that Victor infused it with a lust charm, causing them to
act on their existing attraction.
Through the bond, Rose is able to lead a rescue party to Lissa's aid. She's
forced to stay in the car whilst they go to storm the cabin. Rose sees Victor admit
to Lissa that Natalie, acting upon his instruction, put the animals in her room and
he intends to use her to heal him, as he is on the brink of death. He tells her that
Rose discovers that Christian has stowed away in the car in an attempt to
rescue Lissa himself. They run towards the cabin as Lissa compels a guard to stay
silent as she escapes. Rose and Christian are confronted by psi-hounds and
Christian's mauled to the brink of death. Lissa, unable to find the strength to heal
him, is forced to drink Rose's blood and then is able to save him, upon doing so,
realise she loves him.
Later, when Rose visits a locked up Victor, he confesses all about the lust
charm and tells her that Dimitri lied when he said he felt nothing for her. Rose is
confronted by Natalie, now Strigoi, who turned Strigoi in order to save Victor
from his cell. Dimitri arrives and stakes her.
As Christian and Lissa begin dating and Mia regains her social status,
Rose confronts Dimitri, demanding to know why he lied about his feelings. He
tells her that he does love her but they can't be together, both because of the age
difference and the fact that they will both be Lissa's guardians one day and must
