Chapter 1
ROSE POV
I groaned as I woke up, another day, another boring day, the only possible bright spots being training with Dimitri and spending time with Lissa. I actually contemplated going back to sleep but I knew it would just get me into trouble. Right now, trouble was the last thing I wanted so I grudgingly got out of bed. My name is Rosemarie Hathaway, although I prefer being called Rose. I am seventeen and five foot seven, relatively tall until you compare me to most of the others around school. I have long thick dark brown hair and dark brown eyes as well as lightly tanned skin and a well-developed figure. I was a Dhampir, the result of a union between a Moroi vampire and either a human or another Dhampir, in my case, Moroi and Dhampir. I was also a Guardian, a person who is charged with the defence of a Moroi and their family. I was still just a Novice, Guardian in training, but it had been decided already that I was to be my best friend Lissa's Guardian. Once I was dressed I left my room and headed to the training centre, I had to hurry or I'd be late. I ran as fast as I could, luckily there weren't many people about yet, so I didn't have to worry about colliding with someone.
I finally stopped just outside the changing rooms. Dimitri was waiting for me, I smiled. Dimitri Belikov was also a Dhampir and was twenty-four years old. He was tall, much taller than me with medium length brown hair he tied back and chocolate brown eyes. He was very muscular and had tan skin. He smiled and nodded.
"Good of you to finally join me Rose." He remarked.
I shrugged and he simply shook his head and indicated for me to get changed before heading into the training centre. I did as he said and got changed. As I did I pondered on my feelings. For some time now I had a crush on Dimitri. It didn't just occur suddenly, following an...Incident, I had fled St. Vladimir's Academy, taking Lissa with me. We had been brought back by Dimitri and several other Guardians. Since then, to ensure I caught up on what I had missed, I had been given extra training sessions with Dimitri. As I continued to attend these, I slowly began to find myself attracted to Dimitri. Soon it was a full blown crush, yet, no matter what I tried, I could never bring myself to say so. I wondered to myself frequently, just what was holding me back. Shaking my head I finished getting ready and headed into the training centre myself, as I did so I wondered what Lissa was up to at this moment.
LISSA POV
I sighed as I nodded, pretending to be listening to the others. I was sitting with the other Royals who were all talking about the latest gossip. I personally found it tiring, most of it was stuff that I wasn't interested in, or even any of my business. I leaned back in my seat; the small mirror on the wall fell into my line of vision, revealing my reflection. My name is Vasilisa Dragomir, but my friends and those close to me simply called me Lissa. I am seventeen with medium long platinum blonde hair and jade green eyes. Like all Moroi I was pale, with a slender petit frame. It didn't make sense, I was so different from all the other Royals, I was considerate and cared about people's privacy. My family had been like that, my parents, my brother. However they were dead now, I was the last Dragomir and it was my duty to endure this to maintain my reputation. Due to the incident that caused Rose and me to run away had already caused a stir and some damage, if I wanted to help Rose maintain her position and not get thrown out, I had to maintain what I had left and try to fit in with my fellow Royals.
As I looked around, my eyes fell on one girl in particular. She was rather short, despite being only a year younger than me, she had curly blonde hair and blue eyes. She was also Moroi and therefore was slender and pale. I noticed Mia was glaring at me and I sighed, she always hated me. I still didn't know why, ever since Rose and I came back, Mia had caused nothing but trouble for me. I decided that, instead of pretending I would actually listen this time.
"I honestly don't know why she's here." She was saying to another Royal girl sitting next to her. "It's not like she can restore the damage she's done, especially to herself. The Dragomir line is practically finished."
I sighed, typical, she was insulting me. I gave up, I couldn't take this anymore. I got up and left, heading straight to my next class, I really wasn't in the mood to put up with Mia today. I continued down the corridors, heading to my class when suddenly I walked into someone.
"Hey, watch it." The person snapped.
I looked up and froze when I saw who it was. A seventeen year old Moroi male with jet black hair and pale blue eyes. His eyes gave his identity away; only one Moroi clan had blue eyes that pale. The Ozera's, this was Christian Ozera. The Ozera's were a disgraced Moroi Royal family, Christian's parents willingly turned into Strigoi, the Moroi's enemies. They attempted to take Christian and turn him too but he was saved by the Guardians. However now people expected him to turn Strigoi any day and everybody gave him a wide berth.
"I…I'm sorry." I stammered, Christian sighed and shook his head.
He looked directly at me and smiled, "No, I'm sorry, that was a bit harsh."
I nodded slowly, suddenly nervous.
ROSE POV
I caught my breath as I finished training, Dimitri smiled and nodded.
"Good work Rose." He remarked, I smiled and nodded. "Thanks."
"Well, you better get going." He stated, "You don't want to be late for class."
I nodded and left the training centre; I quickly got changed and prepared to head for my next class when I froze. Due to my bond with Lissa I had suddenly found myself pulled into her mind. I couldn't believe what I saw, Lissa was already on her way to her next class, however she had stopped. She was talking to the last person I ever thought she would talk to. Christian Ozera.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
