Hi guys. So as some of you may or may not know I used to have a story called Princess Under Protest. Well I decided I didn't like it and and no in the process of rewriting it. The plot line is pretty much going to stay the same but I've changed some characters.
Ok so this story is set after Frostbite except Mason is still alive and Rose and Dimitri are secretly going out. And It has my 3 main characters Magdaleina (Maisie), Mirabella (Belle) and Maverick (Rick) Drozdov move to St. Vladimir's and become friends with Rose and the gang.
Disclaimer: Vampire Academy belongs Richelle Mead unfortunately but I own Tate Drozdov, Eleanora Drozdov, Delilah Drozdov, Ellamae Drozdov, Stanley Drozdov, Magdaleina Drozdov, Mirabella Drozdov, Maverick Drozdov, Cecilia Fern, Oakley Ashford and Braxton Finnely. I know it's a lot of people but they wont be in all the chapters.
Summary: It's not easy being a Princess. When Strigoi attack the last remaining Drozdov family, Maisie has to rise to plate and become the Drozdov Princess. She along with her triplet sister and brother, Belle and Rick, are forced to move to St. Vladimir's Academy. They soon become friends with the gang, but what happens when there are two princesses in the same school. The Strigoi are more interested in St. Vladimir's to finish the Dragomir and Drozdov line. But there are more dangers facing the Triplets then just Strigoi.
It's not easy being a Princess. Everyone always imagines what it would be like to be a princess. To live in a mansion surrounded by maids and butlers to attend to your every need. I have to admit I was like that when I was little too. But I know all to well now, it isn't anything like I thought it would be.
My name is Magdaleina Dorothea Drozdov, I prefer Maisie though. I am 17 years old and am the Drozdov Princess. Sounds amazing doesn't it? In reality it is everything but amazing. You see I wasn't meant to be the Drozdov Princess, that title was meant to go to my older sister Delilah after our father grew to old to continue on as the prince. Delilah never got the chance to become the princess because she died last summer when Strigoi invaded our lake house in Pennsylvania.
I used to live in Australia but because my father, Tate, was the Drozdov Prince he had to make regular trips to The Royal Court for "Royal business". My mother, Eleanora, and father had decided to make a family trip to Pennsylvania while me and my siblings were on summer holidays (which is technically Winter in America). I had quite a large family because my father needed to rebuild the Drozdov line. My family consisted of my mother, my father, my two older sisters Delilah and Ellamae, my older brother Stanley and us triplets, me, Mirabella and Maverick. Now there are only three of us.
I doubt I will ever forget what happened on that tragic night it will be forever etched into my brain. It was a Saturday and mum and dad had just got back from Court to spend the night eating popcorn and watching movies with us. I remember that night Rick decided that he wanted to watch Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2. We were up to the part where Voldemort destroys the Hogwarts Castle, so no one realised that we were being attacked. Until we were surrounded by at least 10 Strigoi. One of them appeared to vanish and reappeared in front of mother and me in a blink of a second. I could see the Strigoi reach for my throat before my mother threw herself in front of me. The hands that were reaching for me clenched around my mother's throat and snapped her neck in less then a millisecond. That is what haunts my nightmares, the sound of my mother's neck being snapped in half and watching her blank eyes look up at me from where she now lay on my lap.
Everything suddenly became blurry to me. I remember Braxton (one of the families Guardians) staking the Strigoi in front of me before he dragged me up the stairs to my parent's room. I didn't fight him I just let him drag me up to where Rick and Belle were waiting with Cecilia (another one of the families Guardians). As soon as I was dragged into the room Belle threw herself into my arms and started to cry. Rick quickly put his arms around both of us and wiped our tears … wait … our tears? That was when I realised why everything was blurry. It was because I was crying. I could hear screaming downstairs and massive sobs racked Belle's and mine's bodies. About ten minutes later everything was quiet. Braxton told Cecilia that he was going to check downstairs.
Our sobs had calmed down considerably. Rick, Belle and I were holding onto each other for support. It was times like this that I appreciated Rick acting older and protective over us even though I was born before him (be that only by a few minutes). Braxton came back shortly after to tell us that all of the Strigoi had either been killed or they had run away. When he didn't say about our family I choked out, "W-w-what a-about … o-our fami-i-ly?" When Braxton's Guardian Face (as I like to call it) slammed onto his face I knew that something serious had happened.
"I'm sorry guys," Braxton told in a bleak voice, "Your siblings and parents didn't make it." After hearing that Belle and I broke down again while Rick cried quietly, his grip on us tightening as we fell to the floor. Braxton and Cecilia came over to take us away from the house. As we made our way down the stairs I saw our mother half lying on the couch where we were sitting while watching the movie. Ellamae and our father were huddled together by the curtains with the throats looking as if they had been ripped up. Stan was nowhere to be seen. Delilah was crumped up next to the television with blood smeared throughout her blonde hair and across the TV screen. When I looked at Lilah I saw that the movie was still running. As I payed more attention to it I worked out the scene that was currently playing was the scene where all of the Weasley's were huddled around Fred in the great hall crying over his body. Oh, the irony.
I was almost at tipping point when I saw one of our Guardians, Oakley Ashford, lying across the bottom step on the staircase with what looked like a puncture wound in his back. It looked as if a Strigoi had stabbed him in the back with his own stake. That was my finale tipping point I leaned over the rail and vomited. I could feel someone rubbing my back but I don't whom it was. Once I was done I continued to make my way down the staircase. When I reached the bottom I knelt down next Oakley and turned him over. When I saw that his eyes were still open I moved my hand to close them. When I closed his eyes I realised that he was such a constant person in my past and that I would never see him again. I remember once, when I was little and I fell over and grazed my knee and started to cry. Oakley instantly came over to me and picked me up and took me back to house to fix up my knee. He told me how I was such a brave little girl and that it is ok to cry when I get hurt. When he was done he gave me a lollypop from the cupboard and told me to be careful. Now because of the Strigoi, Oakley will never be there for me again. Suddenly I felt something shift inside me and leave through my hands, which were still on Oakley's eyelids, and go into Oakley. I gasped and sat back, feeling the world spin. The last thing I remember is seeing Oakley's eyes flutter open before I passed out.
By the time I woke up two days had passed. The first thing I saw was Rick sleeping awkwardly in a chair by my bed whilst holding my hand. I softly ran my thumb over the back of his hand and he instantly shot out of his chair. When he saw that I was awake he hugged me saying over and over that he was happy I was ok. When I asked him what happened at the Lake House, Rick told me that the Strigoi had managed to break the wards and attack us. It turns out 20 Strigoi had invaded the house. The Guardians had managed to kill 15 of them with the help of Ella, Lilah, Stan and Dad. We were very lucky that we had 8 Guardians at the house with us or things might have turned out differently. But we did lose Mum, Dad, Delilah, Ella, Stan and 2 Guardians, which is 7 people too much. It turns out that Oakley wasn't one of those 2. He only suffered from a couple of broken ribs. When I asked Rick about his stab wound, he replied, "What stab wound?"
"The one in the middle of his back," I said in my 'duh' voice.
"He wasn't stabbed Maisie. I don't know what you're talking about." Rick looked at me confused. I just gave up asking figuring I must have got it wrong. When Belle walked in the door and saw me awake she yet again jumped into my arms.
"Maisie! Oh my god! Don't do that again to me!" She whisper yelled in my ear.
I couldn't help it I had to laugh at her. Which she responded to by play slapping me in the arm. I started to laugh again.
When Belle calmed down and sat next to my hospital bed. Uh, I thought, they made wear own of those hospital dresses. Well at least it isn't open at the back. Belle and Rick looked at each other with a knowing look I knew all too well, well what do you expect we are triplets.
"What happened now guys?" I asked Rick and Belle in a worried voice. They continued to look back and forth between each other and me.
"Well some things have come up that you'll probably need to know about …" Rick said slowly. Uh oh, this can't be good.
"Yeah … ok. What is it?" I asked him. Instead of replying to me he looked at Belle again as if trying to find a way out of telling me. Which began to extremely annoy me.
"Maverick Nelson Drozdov you tell me what is going on NOW!" I said in my 'don't screw with me voice'.
Rick looked at the floor while he mumbled something way to fast for me to understand. "Rick! Look at me and speak clearly," I told him.
"Um … ok … well seeing how … Mum and Dad are … no longer here and neither are Delilah, Ella or Stan … you have to become the … Drozdov Princess because you are the oldest of us three … and we are the last of the Drozdov's," Rick told me looking extremely nervous like I might explode. Which, I admit, I was very close to doing. "I mean I would gladly become the Prince if I could but the Queen said that the title goes to the oldest of each line and well … that's you."
Oh. My. GOD! I was not expecting this! I mean I only just lost most my family two days ago, which feels like only two minutes ago to me, and now I have to become the PRINCESS! How can this be my life! I know now how that girl Vasilisa must have felt when her family died and she became the Dragomir Princess. At least I have Belle and Rick, I don't know what I would do if I was by myself.
"Yeah, I could manage that. I mean all I would have to do is fly to Pennsylvania every now and then." I said more to myself then anyone else.
"Maise? There is also … something else …" Belle told me quietly.
I looked up from my hands and looked at my little sister. "What else could there be?" I asked Belle dejected.
"Queen Tatiana also wants us to fmovetopensnsylvanisandliveatanacademyahjf …" Belle quickly mumbled.
"What?" I asked Belle confused.
Belle looked at Rick and he took over for her. "The Queen, she wants us to move closer to the Royal Court so she can look after us better."
"WHAT!" I screamed. "She can't makes us move from our home to a different country to live permanently. Why can't we just fly to Court every now and then and stay in our home!" I shouted at Rick. I knew it wasn't fair because he and Belle were facing exactly the same thing as I was.
"She says it's not healthy for kids to fly such a long distance on a regular basis." Rick grumbled.
"Where does she want us to stay then?" I asked Rick.
"I want you stay at St. Vladimir's Academy in Montana where Princess Vasilisa is currently attending, Princess Magdaleina," Tatiana said as she walked through my hospital door. Followed closely by Oakley looking extremely worried about something until he looks at me.
And here comes the drama. Sigh.
Well I hoped you all liked it. Please review and tell me what you liked, what you didn't like and anything else you have to say. Thank you for reading this story
