PROLOGE
I am Alexandria Lettelle Hathaway. I have longish curly dirty blond hair and hazel green eyes. My mom has no idea were my looks came from so apparently I don't look like my mom or 'dad'. I am short stuck at 5 foot exactly, I got my height well lack there of from my grandmother. I am very shy and quiet and almost always have my nose stuck in a book but if you piss me off I will fight back. I am the daughter of Rose Hathaway; I don't know who my father is. All I know is that he left my mom before I was born for some Royal Moroi. He broke her hart so he broke mine. My mom left her old life for me but now she is being sent back by the queen. I am being sent to St. Vladimir Academy. I have already killed Strigoi before and my mom has been training me since I was little so I can't wait to show everyone what I got.

Chapter one

APOV (Alex)

I was packing all my stuff into my giant suitcase and looking around the house one last time before mom and I had to leave. I was going to St. Vladimir's Academy and starting my freshmen year. I was only 14 but lots of people think I am 12 or something like that, let me tell you it sucks looking young for your age.

"Mom are you ready yet. I'll be in the car."

"k you sure you have everything." She said walking down the stairs.

"Yup" I said popping the p.

We drove to the airport to get on a plain to go to Michigan.

Let me tell you the Academy is in the middle of no wear. All you see is trees, trees and more trees. The street is nothing but a gravel road. Thoe the academy is beautiful it looks like a medieval castle. It looks like the same castle from Beauty and the Beast. I was amazed.

My mom took me to the head mistresses office. As we were walking every person we passed stopped and stared at us. It was weird but my mom was very well known in the moroi world before she left to raise me. Plus this was the same academy she went to so. As we walked in mom looked shocked at who the head mistress is.

"Lissa what are you doing here I thought you were at court as queen?" mom said that her best friend in school was Vasilisa Dragomir or Lissa but she was not there when my mom needed her most so mom left.

"Rose? Is that you? O Rose I have missed you so much. I'm so, so sorry. I should have been there and under stood what you were going threw instead of being selfish and only thinking of myself. I am so sorry." Mom and Lissa were in tears and hugging each other. I was so confused and had no idea what that was about so I just stay silent near the back trying to stay invisible.

"Rose… umm… who is the girl behind you is she a new student?" She was staring at me strangle it made me want to squirm in my spot.

"O sorry Liss this is my daughter Alexandria Lettelle Hathaway but I and her friends call her Alex. Alex is Head Mistress Dragomir but I call her Lissa."

"Hello Alexandria or do you prefer Alex? You can call me Lissa and I am so glad to meet you."

"I prefer Alexandria but some people are to stubborn and call me Alex," I gave mom my evil death glare," But I don't really care what you call me." I gave her a slight smile. I am trying to be nice but I hate strangers and have a strong urge to hide behind something like I did when I was little.

"I'm sorry Liss surprisingly my daughter is extremely shy so can we get her time table and her keys to her dorm."

"Shure I'm sorry Alexandria here is you're time table, map, and keys to you're dorm." Then she handed me everything I will need.
