Chapter 1
A warm breeze touched my cheek as I watched the sleeping Dragomir Princess Vasilisa and Rosemarie Hathaway-a dhampir novice-through the bedroom window. Altogether there was almost a dozen of us guardians. Waiting for a chance to take the two teenagers back to the academy. We chose the early hours of the morning to do this because it was the quietest time on the college campus, that they were hiding on. I waited in the shadows of a tree while everyone else was scatted around the rest of the area. All of a sudden I heard Princess Vasilisa screaming and saw her thrashing around in her bed-it looked like she was having a vicious nightmare. Rose suddenly awoke and rushed over to the Princess. She shook her awake and then was talking to her. I couldn't hear what was being said but I guess it would have been soothing words.
Then the two did something I really didn't expect, Vasilisa bit Rosemarie. I shouldn't have been so shocked after all Vasilisa was a Moroi and needed blood to survive. A Moroi is a mortal vampire with the rare gift for harnessing the earth's magic. They live off of blood and regular human food; however they can't go too long without blood and they don't kill the people they feed off. I'm a Dhampir like Rosemarie; we are half-human, half-Moroi. But I'm a guardian and she is a novice, training to become a guardian of the mortal vampires. That was until she took Vasilisa away from the academy. God only knows her fate now. This brings us to the reason why we need to protect them; it's because of the Strogoi. They are deadly immortal vampires that only drink blood-they especially love Moroi-and kill their victims.
That's where I failed. I was the guardian of a Zeklos lord and I went on holidays. While I was gone a rouge Strogoi killed him. I should have been protecting him, I shouldn't have left. If I'd been there with him, Lord Zeklos would still be alive today. That guilt will stay with me for the rest of my life.
I was repulsed as I watched Rosemarie move her beautiful long brown hair to expose that neck of hers. I hated seeing one of my kind getting bitten. I kept telling myself that they had to do this to keep Vasilisa alive. The girl was soon going to be my charge. It'll make it easier to catch the girls anyway. I hated telling myself that last thing, but it was true. Vampire saliva has endorphins in it. It causes the bitten person to go into a sort of dreamy reality. Rosemarie wouldn't be able to stop us from taking both Vasilisa and herself back to St. Vladimir's Academy.
The bite took only a few seconds; it seemed like a life time to me. The Princess stood up and wiped her mouth of blood. She then left Rosemarie to do something.
A black cat on the window ledge realised I was there, it arched its back as if getting ready for an attack. That's another thing about being a dhampir; animals detest us.
The cat gave away my presence. Rosemarie stumbled over to the window still high from the vampire saliva. She searched through the shadows and spotted me. Fear shot through her eyes. She moved as quickly as she could in her state. I swiftly held up a small walkie talkie to my mouth.
"The Hathaway girl saw me; she's going to try to run." I whispered into it.
"How long do you think we have?" was the reply.
"A few minutes before she goes out the front door."
"Ok."
I walked around to where I had noticed the kitchen before, hoping that she had been caught in there by the human college kid. I crept towards the kitchen and smiled when I saw that I had been right. My smile shortly disappeared though as I listened to the conversation through the open window.
"You shouldn't be up." The Princess told Rosemarie with some surprise.
"We have to go. Now." Is how she replied.
I don't think Vasilisa understood straight away, but then she realised what Rosemarie meant.
"Are you…really? Are you sure?" Vasilisa asked.
Rose must have nodded, because the next person to speak was their roommate.
"What's wrong?"
"Liss, get his car keys." Rosemarie said.
"What are you-" The roommate started to stammer. How was she going to get his keys?
My question was answered after a few seconds when I felt something in the air. It made me feel happy and nearly willing to do anything for Vasilisa. Compulsion, I realised. Vasilisa was using compulsion on the human-something hugely frowned upon in our world. Are they really that desperate to escape? I won't tell anyone about this, I decided. I shook my head to get the helping feeling out of it and continued to listen.
"We need to borrow your car," The Princess said in a gentle-soft voice. "Where are your keys?"
I heard the rattle of keys and Vasilisa thanking the boy.
"And where is it parked?"
"Down the street," the boy said dreamily. "At the corner. By Brown."
I started running. I told the other guardians where the girls were heading-we were going to surround them. I had to run nearly four blocks before I reached the car and after I ran a block I could hear their footsteps. I was a strong runner however so it wasn't hard to get there before the girls. I stood about ten feet from the car; I waited and I watched.
When I saw them I could tell that Rosemarie wasn't in very good shape. She had to be supported by Vasilisa. When they got close to me I walked a few steps to stand in their path. They instantly halted, because my fellow guardians and I had them surrounded.
Rosemarie did something altogether stupid, but also brave. She stood in front of the Princess in a protective stance.
"Leave her alone," she growled at me. "Don't touch her."
I kept my face neutral and held my hands up to try to show her I meant no harm. I took a step closer to them.
"I'm not going to-" hurt you, was what I was going to say.
Rosemarie just ignored my gesture and attempted to attack me. I quickly brushed off her attack with my hands-a little to forcedly. I didn't mean to push her so hard, just slow her down. She was about to hit the ground hard, I stopped that from happening by taking hold of her arm and keeping her upright. Her hair fell away from her neck, revealing the bite mark. I just stared at the wound, still upset about it. Rosemarie was glanced up at me and realized that I was staring at her throat. She touched the bite on her neck and gazed at the blood on her fingers. She looked back at me embarrassment written all over her face. She shook her head covering the bite-mark. I let go of her arm knowing that I could restrain her instantly if I had to.
She stupidly was getting ready for another attack.
However,
"Rose, don't." Vasilisa said.
All tension left Rosemaries body, she sagged in defeat.
Seeing this, I took a step towards them again. I turned my attention to Vasilisa and bowed.
"My name is Dimitri Belikov," I said. "I've come to take you back to St. Vladimir's Academy, Princess."
