Chapter 1

A perfect dream was interrupted by the annoying loud beeping of my alarm clock. I turned on my side and opened my eyes, 5:30, perfect. It was a while till the sunset, and the Moroi wouldn't be up until about six, when the sun would disappear behind the woods. I pulled on a black Nike shirt and same color Nike shorts, slipped on my running shoes, and slipped away to the track.

"You're late Silrent", my best friend Damon yelled from the track "We have a 3 mile run now hustle!" He started running up the track as I chased after him, god he was fast, I almost forgot how fast he was. Finally catching up to him, I tackled him and we wrestled around on the ground until I pinned him.

"HA!" I yelled in triumph "PINNED YAH, what now Kasper!" he shook his head,

"Lita, Lita, Lita" he said is a show off-y voice "Never let your guard down" Then with a quick movement he turn, and pinned me onto the hard cement beside the track.

"Ouch! Damon that actually hurt! Bastard!" He let out a breathy laugh and he pulled me onto my feet,

"Sorry, turn around let me see the back of your head" I turned and waited as he moved around my dark blonde hair. "Just a small scratch, you'll be fine" I sighed,

"It felt like I cracked it open, well I'm gonna hit the showers, see yah." I walked away to the showers rubbing my head on the way. I embraced the warm shower water, and then the cold air. I wrapped my towel tightly around me, and grabbed my clothes. I dried off, and put on a tight 'Sailor Moon' shirt on, and ripped up boot-cut jeans. I kept my Nikes on though. My hair was stringy and damp, so I brushed it out, but for the most part I left it alone. I walked into my dorm room. And grabbed my bag. I swear this damn bag was so fucking heavy!

"HEY LITA!" Yelled my other best friend, Lidia yelled as I walked into the cafeteria. I slowly turned around, damn it. She had her boyfriend, James, with her. God, that guy was the most annoying person ever.

"Hello Lita-o!" James called cheerfully, "What's up in your weird mind." I plastered a fake smile on my face. KILL ME NOW. James gave me a tight hug, and then returned to holding hands with Lidia. Next thing I knew, a tall, skinny, pale, blonde hair, blue eyed, royal, walked passed us with her group of friends. Rosemarie Ozera. She was pretty popular, and her mother was queen. What's not to like? All royals are stuck up, and ignorant. "Hey there Rose! Hi Jackie, Hi Marty, and everyone else…" James called out, and they all stopped. DAMN IT! They walked over to us, and started talking. Rose smiled at me,

"Hey, you're Lita right?" She asked with her innocent face. I put a big fake smile on.

"Yupp! And I have to go now! See you later!" I turned around, and walked out of the kitchen. "I know I'm being mean, I don't want to be, but I just don't like royals very much… It's a complicated story. But why does she have to suffocate my friends, ok friend, but still. Oh shit, I'm talking to myself, that's just fucking great! Ok, shut up!" I closed my mouth and kept walking.

"Ello, class. Now, let's get this started. Freshman's Guardian Combat Techniques." Mrs. Raysum said cheerfully. "Now, pass up your homework from last night, and we will talk about the next lesson!" She wasn't the strictest teacher. "Cool! Now let's talk about one of the biggest things we will talk about this semester, being observant!" Mrs. Raysum called two students to the front of the room. They looked at each other for a minute, and then they turned back to back. They stated hair and eye color, shoes, what they were wearing, and even if the moved their hands, or shifted their weight a lot. Suddenly, a sharp pain jolted in the back of my head. I threw my hand up, and got permission to go to the bathroom. I ran into the nearest one and clutched the back of my head. I splashed a little cold water on my face, the room became hot. It was starting to get hard to breathe. The room started spinning, and I dropped to my knees. The last thing I saw was a blurry Moroi entering the bathroom, and then I blacked out.
