Chapter 1

Theo POV

I looked out to my window of the dark tinted limo as we drove up to St. Vladimir Academy having to transfer in my last year is stupid. I didn't want to, but my mom's charge just moved to court to live with his sister, Queen Tatiana. That's right; my mom's charge is the Queen's brother. But being near my mom was better than staying in London with just my sisters Elizabeth aka Beth and Amelia aka Lea (and her daughter, that's right, my sister has a kid). Anyway we're triplets (me the oldest, then Beth, then Lea; all minutes apart) and it's not that we can't take care of ourselves but it's just better to be near our mom. God, now I'm sounding like a mama's boy. We drove through the main gates; and I could see that two guardians came to welcome us. I looked back at the school and considered if I would really like it here.

We weren't off to a good start, we were already 3 hours late because Atona, Lea's little girl, shut off all the alarms in the house. Lea got knocked up by some moroi when she was 14 and didn't even get the chance to tell him before he split. But what else could you expect from a moroi. Atona aka Tawny is a little devil, she's always doing things to annoy or piss people off; and will only listen to Lea and Beth, and occasionally me if she's feeling generous, but won't listen to her Grandma or babysitters if her life depended on it.

"Whoa! It's so big." Lea said as we came to a stop

"Well, what'd you expect?" Beth shot back.

"If it's from mom, then I expect the best." She replied smiling.

I laughed under my breath "You sound like a rich-bitch Lea, sometimes I think that you should've been born a royal moroi." She gave me the finger and got out.

Beth laughed and got out after her. When I got I saw the two guardians were a blonde headed woman; she looked pretty hot though she was probably 10 years older than I was. The other was a tall brown headed man looking about 25 or so.

The blonde smiled and said "You must be Guardian Zona's children, nice to meet you and welcome to St. Vladimir Academy. I'm Alberta Petrov, and this is Demetri Belikov. I trust you had a good trip here?"

Beth smiled back at Alberta, and then looked to Demetri. "Hell yeah, first classes airplane tickets, a limo for the three of us, and now a fine as-"

"It was good. Thank you." Lea interjected smiling.

Guardian Belikov spoke this time "Good. I'll show you to your dorm Theodore, Alberta will show you to yours, Amelia and Elizabeth," so formal. "And then we'll take you to your third period class. The students just got back from a ski trip but classes have resumed as normal. You shouldn't be that far behind."

Us? Behind? The students here will be lucky to be on our level. That's sound kind of big-headed but still, I think we've earned the right to be big-headed, after training with our mom for 17 years of our life. She was a legend, right next to Janine Hathaway. We split up and were shown to our dorms. Guardian Belikov seemed pretty cool giving he was known to be one of the best. We meet up with Alberta, Beth and Lea about twenty minutes later and they steered us toward the gym. I looked inside and saw about 13 pairs of people sparing.

One girl caught my attention she had dark brown hair that came down to the small of her back, she was wearing a dark white spaghetti strap shirt that fit nicely around her and black short shorts. She had a slim, but yet muscular frame, and had curves too, damn did she have curves. And that tan skin went right along with her dark brown eyes. I watched her spar two other novices, and she seemed pretty good. That made me want to spar against her, and see what that skin felt like…No! Stay focused. I had to admit though, she was beautiful. I could understand why the boys were losing; I'd have a hard time staying focused if I were that close to her too.

"Who's the chick fighting two morons?" Lea asked.

Belikov smiled proudly and replied "Rosemarie Hathaway. She's the top of her class, right along side Mason Ashford, and Eddie Castile, the two morons sparing with her."

"Hathaway? As in Janine's daughter!" Beth eyes widened, but she pulled her face back to a blank expression just as fast as she'd showed her surprise.

This time Alberta smiled. "Of course, you're not the only ones living up to their mother's reputation."

"Mason is the red headed novice. Eddie is the other one. These three will be in your class and maybe you can learn some pointers from them" Belikov said. Why did everyone think we were unskilled?

"Hmm…" Lea said analyzing the fight, clearly not listening, and then continued, "The boys have made several mistakes for far. There were at least 5 points where they could have had her staked."

Belikov and Petrov looked at her shocked. Beth and I were now analyzing the fight as well. Lea was right; they made a lot of mistakes. Then I realized that Rosemarie was playing with them. She wasn't even trying that hard. That made me smile; this girl was more than just beautiful.

I looked to Petrov; she was whispering something to Belikov. Suddenly Belikov smiled and looked to her and replied "If you think that's a good idea."

Petrov looked at the class and said in a loud voice that got everyone's attention, "Enough!" and everyone stopped and turned to look at us.

Rose's POV

"Enough!" Alberta continued, "These are new novices that are starting today. Elizabeth, Amelia, and Theodore they…"

I stopped and turned to see Demetri and Alberta, they were with the 3 students that were rumored to be coming, Guardian Zona's kids, all about my age, I guess. l glanced at Mason and Eddie, who were both pretty much drooling over the girls who stood beside a, very hot guy. They looked like they just stepped out of a Vogue magazine! But I regained my stature quickly, and took the opportunity to tease Eddie and Mason.

"You know most of the time, people usually wait until the other person looks away to start drooling over them." I said smirking.

They both snapped out of their trances to shoot dirty looks at me. Then turned back to look at the girls, I turned my gaze over to them too, the one named Amelia was about 5'8" which was about my height and had a tan that did her hazel eyes justice. She had a small frame; I could tell that she was muscular as me because she wore blue skinny jeans with a tan faded into them, and very high brown peep toe high heels, and a brown Chanel shirt that fit snug around her showing off her curves. She had long light brown hair that came down to the middle of here back (even with it in a stylish messy high ponytail). Lissa would be proud if I ever dressed like that. She kind of reminded me of myself with lighter hair that's way more into fashion than I am.

Her sister Elizabeth was very much like her sister, with hazel eyes that went along with her slightly darker brown than Amelia's that was pulled back into a high half ponytail, and curled. Even though it was curled it came down to the bottom of her breasts, and topped off with hoops earrings. She was built almost exactly like her sister also, but wore low hip hugger blue jeans, and high heel boots and her top was maroon spaghetti strap under a dark brown jacket that fit her curves snug. Wow, where did these girls come from?!

I felt a sting of jealousy as I looked around and saw most of the boys were staring at the girls, though the other dhampir girls were staring too, I looked back at the three and saw what the girls were looking at.

Their brother on the other hand was Demetri kind of hot. Theodore was built muscular but not overly muscular, he shared his sister's light tan, and was about 6 foot, he had a rough look about him, a "don't fuck with me" look, and hazel puppy dog eyes that showed the kindness in him. He had the same light brown hair except, his had dark brown highlights, that almost made me stare. His hair came down to his ears and kind of flipped to the side. He had damaged jeans on with a flannel shirt that was unbuttoned a little bit at the top. Tease. I could easily see girls swarming him; Just looking at his chocolate brown eyes made me relax, and get lost staring into them. Wait, what am I saying?!? I'm in love with Demetri, this new boy doesn't matter. I-

"..Rosemarie would you care to demonstrate?" Alberta finished.

"What?" I asked completely not listening.

""I thought you of all people wouldn't pass up the opportunity to show off to our new students?" Alberta asked smiling.

I returned to smile "Of course I wouldn't."

Feeling confident I stepped forward hoping to fight Theodore, Theodore and Elizabeth looked at each other hesitantly, but it was his sister Amelia that stepped forward to same time I did. "I got this" she said looking at me straight in the eye.

Amelia's POV

"I got this" I replied staring straight into her eyes.

Rose looked at me disappointed but focused; she gave me a full body look over then smiled nicely.

She closed the 5 ft. distance between us and threw a punch as quick as Beth or Theo would, which I blocked and returned with a punch. She seemed to not notice the hit to the face, and came at me with more speed, I easily blocked her punches and thrust my right hand up and caught her in the nose. She left her stomach open when her head was knocked back, so I threw my right knee into it, when she bent over from the blow, my left knew caught her face. When she fell back I jumped on her and "staked" her.

I got up and looked at back at the Guardians. Belikov's eyes were full of worry and he was staring at Rose. Alberta was wide eyed at first, and then she smiled and said "Well done, Amelia. It seems we underestimated you."

Beth and Theo were smiling at me as a job well done. I look back at Rose and she had gotten up; her nose was bleeding. She spat on the floor and said "Again." There was a lot of acid in her voice. I shrugged and got back into stance.

The next round I played around with her wearing her out, she had gotten slow with her punches and very sloppy so I knocked her around some more. She threw one last punch at me and I dodged it while grabbing and twisting her arm and kick her in the stomach, Theo spoke up this time "Lea, just finish it." The fight had gone on for a bout a good 5 minutes, so I kicked her feet from underneath her and "staked" her.

I jumped up and backed away. My heels clicking as I did. She glared at me while sitting up. "Again" she spat. I looked at her with surprise. Her lip and nose were bleeding. I looked over the Beth and Theo; they only shrugged, so I got back into stance. This time she came at me with fury that made her faster and stronger. This time she got more hits on me, but I fought back just as hard.

Then the bell rang and we kept sparing and nobody moved to leave. We kept fighting for about 10 more minutes and people started to come in. I didn't notice until any of them until rose knocked me back and I looked to the side, suddenly piercing green eyes were staring at me and I was caught up in them. Then I saw Rose's fist come at me, I barely dodged it, but I had to tear my eyes away him. He looked very familiar, I felt like I've seen him before.

I got a little irritated that Rose had interrupted my stare down with just about the hottest guy I've seen so far since I've been here at St. Vlads. I did an awesome combo kick that Beth taught me, and Rose flew back onto the ground but before I could stake her she jumped up. I needed to end this now. I gave it my all, imagining she was a real strigoi coming after my family. I had her pinned and "staked" within a minute; even with her fury. When I did, she and I stayed in the position both breathing hard. Strands of my hair had fallen out of my ponytail, and I could feel the damp sweat on me. Ugh, now I was going to have to take a shower.

I stood up and backed away from her and walked over to Beth and Theo while Demetri and Alberta went over to Rose to check out her injuries, she gave me a busted lip, and a sore jaw, while she had a couple of bruises already forming, and a bloody nose and lip. Beth looked at me and said, "Lea, you need to keep focused, you almost lost because you were caught up in that moroi." She looked disappointed. Theo on the other hand kept glaring at the boy I was staring at and said, "Especially when that moroi is Adrian Ivashkov. Do you remember nothing of what happened with him!" Adrian Ivashkov! My heart stopped. No!...No! I refused to do this again. That's why he looked so familiar.
