CHAPTER 1
AN: this story takes place in the world of Vampire Academy, is a different story, with different characters. I don't own any of the original ideas, or characters of Vampire Academy.
"Mom, hurry up, or we won't make it in time for orientation!" I yelled up at my mother. We were on our way to St. Vladimir's Moroi and Dhampir boarding school in Montana. I'm going to be a senior there this year, and at the end of the year I will get assigned a dhampir who will be my body guard, and protect me from the Strigoi when I go out to live my life out in the real planning on going to college, but between college and high school, I want to travel. I have always wanted to be an explorer, but my issues with the sun have always been a bit of a bubble burster for my kind.
Just then, my mom came down holding something in her hand. "Here, put this on," my mother gave me a necklace and told me to turn around and lift my hair so she could clasp it in the back. I looked down at it sitting at the base of my throat. It was small, round, and had one of the most intricate designs I have ever seen on an object so small. It was also the prettiest shade of orange I had ever seen. It looked exactly like a small little flame, coming out of the bottom of the chain. Looking at the little flame just made me sad, it reminded me that I hadn't yet, and probably never will specialize in an element. As a Moroi, you are supposed to specialize in one of the five elements, earth, wind, fire, air, and the rarest, and recently discovered one, spirit. The Moroi Queen, Queen Vasilisa Dragomir is one of the few people who has spirit.
My mom must have noticed my sudden mod change and asked if I was all right. "It's nothing; I was just admiring the necklace. Speaking of which, where did you get it?"
"It was mine; your grandmother gave it to me when I was your age, just like her mother gave it to her. Apparently it's a family heirloom and a tradition." She looked nervous, and asked if I liked it.
"I love it, thanks Mom! Now, can we go get in the car, so we aren't late like we were last year?" all she did was smile at me and we left.
