Battlefield Part 1

"Friend..." murmured Artur before shaking his head, those words for a vampire did not mean much except that the bond was very strong. 

As in the case of Valery and Katerin, those same ones planned the death of their friends in the academy, even Maria's death was planned and the only death that was avoided was Stelle's and it was by Valery's opion. 

Stelle didn't abandon them like Maria, so in a different way Stelle still holds a place in Valery and Katerin's heart. 

"No, those words change nothing..." Artur, along with Valery and Katerin also sacrificed his friends and acquaintances, those he met when he entered the academy; those with whom he kept in touch after the academy; to whom he sent letters, told secrets and worries.
