AN: Got the idea for this story after watching Dracula Untold the other night. I hope that everyone like it and please tell me what you think. Only character I own is Aaliyah and Carson…for now.

Prologue

Aaliyah stormed through the halls of ST. Vlad's trying to get away from everyone. She was angry and did not want to deal with anyone. All she wanted was to get away from everyone.

She huffed with annoyance when she heard the footsteps of her best friend, Carson running up beside her. She did not want to talk to her because she was one of the people she was angry with. She had betrayed her trust and hurt her by gossiping with the other royals about her.

"Ally, wait." Carson called. "Leave me alone Carson, go gossip with your friends." She snapped. "What is your problem?" Carson demanded, reaching out to stop Aaliyah. "Don't Touch me…" Aaliyah growled, "I am sick of hearing everyone talk about my mom and my birthfather and how I am a freak."

Carson stared at her with terror for a moment. She had never seen her friend's eyes change like that ever. Maybe all the rumors are true about what she was after all.

"Ally…I'm sorry…" Carson said as Aaliyah turned to her with more anger in her eyes than before.

Aaliyah, who had never had a violent streak or said a mean word in her life, finally lost it. She reached out and punched the wall next to her. Carson gasped with shock when she seen the fangs that her friend had come out with her next statement.

"SORRY! YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND AND NOW YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ME AND HOW YOU THINK I AM A FREAK BECAUSE I'M MOIRI, DHAMPIR AND STRIGOI ALL IN ONE." Aaliyah growled, "I TRUSTED YOU…I thought you were my friend."

By then the school's head guardian, Alberta came over to see the fangs and her eyes. She was one of few who knew the truth about the teen. She also seen the petrified look on the other teen's face. At that moment, her priority was to get Carson out of there.

"Carson, my office now." Alberta said, pulling her away from Aaliyah. "Fine…maybe they are right about you though." Carson said, as another guardian led her away. "Maybe." Aaliyah snapped.

With that she took off, leaving the building and heading for the dorms. She grabbed her bag from under her bed and pack some clothes. She grabbed her cell phone and dialed a number she had hoped would help her.

"Grandpa, please get me out of here." She cried, tears finally spilling from her blue eyes. "Alright…let me get to the school." Her grandfather, Abe replied. "Nooo, just wire me some money and get me a ticket…I have to get away from this school before Carson lies and says I attacked her." Aaliyah said. "Did you lose your temper?" Abe asked. "Yes, but I punched the wall…I think my fangs came out." She whispered. "Geez, alright." Abe said, "I'll have a private jet waiting for you at the air field by the big airport." "Thank you." Aaliyah replied. "Where do you want to go?" Abe asked. "Leave it open…I just need to get away from here." Aaliyah replied, getting her passport from her bag. "Alright, I'll also put some money in an account for you." Abe said, "I'll see you soon grand kiz." "Okay." She replied, "Don't tell mom…you are the only one I trust right now." Aaliyah replied.

With that, she hung up and grabbed her bag. She slipped past the guardians outside the dorm to keep her there and towards the gates. Aaliyah used her compulsion to get the guardian at the gate to let her out and off the grounds. He let her out and looked confused about 10 minutes later when she was no longer in his sight. Then he deleted the image of her leaving from the camera and soon the compulsion wore off.

48 Hours Later…

Aaliyah ran through the darken alley way in Romania. She had been followed by guardians from the court. She had overheard them in a restaurant saying that they were to take her out and bring her body back to the court. Aaliyah's heart broke, knowing that the guardian to give that order as her mother.

Suddenly, she tripped, falling to the cold ground. The guardians had caught up with her and pulled their stakes from their sheaths. Aaliyah screamed trying to break free from their grasp.

"Stop your fighting, freak." The guardian said, holding her by her arms. "Never…get off me." She screamed, her voice echoing in the alley. "Shut up…" The other replied, punching her across the face. "Never." She screamed.

Suddenly, she felt a cold, sharp pain fill her body. Her breath caught in the throat as she choked on a mouthful of her own blood. She felt the cold silver puncture her chest and heart. But as soon as the stake went through her heart, it was pulled out.

The guardian holding her, dropped her to ground. He kicked her in the stomach and walked off. Aaliyah coughed and struggled to catch her breath. She had hot pain filled tears streaming down her cheeks, saddened that her own family wanted her dead. All she wanted was to be left alone and be given a second chance at life.

Suddenly, she heard the guardians screaming in pain and terror. She also heard a primal growl from behind her. She did not know who or what it was but she was praying it was not a strigoi. Aaliyah heard the footsteps of the new figure come towards her. He stared at her for a moment before turning her on her side and setting her head in his lap.

Aaliyah looked up to see the most beautiful pair green eyes she had ever seen. The man holding her had shoulder length black hair that slightly curled and he appeared to be tall, but nearly as tall as her birthfather. He seemed dangerous and kind. Almost a warring angel.

AN: I know that I left it on cliff hanger, but I promise that I will pick right up in the next chapter with our favorite vamp. I hope that everyone like the chapter and please remember to review.
