Disclamer~ I do not own Vampire Academy...

Chapter One

It had been a normal Monday morning at Vladimir Academy, up until lunch time, that is, when a new girl walked into the dining hall. She had black hair that had blood red streaks in it, and crystal blue eyes.

As she walked down the isle between two tables, glancing around, a few Moroi, or Vampire, boys wolf-whistled at her. She gave them a glare that said do-that-again-and-you're-dead.

She was wearing a black V-neck shirt, black jeans, a black collar, and a black leather jacket that went down to her knees and flowed behind her as she walked.

That girl is me. My name is Mari. I am a Moroi that acts like a Dhampir. I learned to fight like one and I am good at making people think I am one, as long as they don't see me feeding, that is.

As I walked between the tables I looked for the only people I knew at this school, Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir. it wasn't to hard to find them since Rose was standing up watching me. As I started walking toward her I noticed another person I knew, Adrian, I forget his last name. I just remember that I hate his guts and he is one of the biggest perverts I have ever met! And I have met a lot of pervs in my time.

"Hey Rose, Lissa," I said when I finally got to their table after just about punching two guys out.

"Hi, Mari. It's been why to long. What are you doing here?" Lissa replies, standing up to hug me, even though she knows I don't really like being touched, but I let her do it any way.

"hey Mari," Rose says. Rose didn't really like me for some reason. I think it's because I know how to beat her at a fair fight. As long I as I don't use my powers, but who knows.

"I just transferred here," I reply sitting down on Rose's left because Adrian is on her left.

"What, you're not going to say hi to me?" he pouts looking at me around Rose.

"I didn't say hi to you cause I wouldrather not acnolege that you are here," I snapped. "But that obviously isn't going to work."

Rose looks at me, "I think I like you better already, Mari," she says smiling.
