Alright so here it is the sequel to you saved me. I hope everyone is interested in it I have a lot of exciting things planned. Here's the beginning to Sophia's story! Enjoy!
My name's Sophia Belikov. I'm 16 years old and am the daughter of Rose Belikov and Dimitri Belikov. I'm 5'2, have my mother's long dark brown hair and both of my parents dark brown eyes. I belong to a world that is very much secret to mankind. I am a Dhampir and yes this story has been written before, but as much as I don't like to flaunt it, I'm no ordinary Dhampir. I was born because of a prophecy, my dad was once a strigoi and my mother saved him out of her bravery and love. It makes me shiver and go blek so I'm only going to say this once throughout my story, but during the process I was conceived. Ok now that that's over with I'll go on. Now the prophecy was really about my mom restoring my dad's soul and making him become a dhampir again, but apparently the one who restores the soul was supposed to be a moroi, the prophecy was supposed to show that by strigoi and moroi, more moroi could be born into society, but my mother is a dhampir. There's not much information left that my family could find about the prophecy, all that I know is that the prophecy baby, that's me, was supposed to be moroi, I'm not. The book also said that "This child will be like no other… and alter the way of our world." No pressure or anything. Like I said, I'm no ordinary Dhampir, I look like one, but not only can I live on food, I also need to drink blood, no I don't have fangs, making it hard for me however to drink the stuff, but I've learned my ways. I don't know if I have any other moroi traits, but who knows what will happen as I grow. Anyways this is my story.
I dodged a punched and kicked the feet under my one and only dad, Dimitri Belikov. The sound of his body hitting the floor brought a smirk to my face. He jumped to his feet and maintained his fighting stance.
"Not getting soft in your older age, are you dad?" I joked amused. I barely had time to finish my sentence before my dad landed a kick at my side that managed to push me back and knock me off guard.
"You see you're just like your mother, making your cleaver little remarks rather than putting your entire focus on the fight at hand." He replied with a smirk on his face as I dodged a punch. We continued to spar and I managed to get a few good hits in. My dad eventually called it quits and picked up a towel to wipe his face. I walked over to him and waited impatiently.
"Well? What do you think? Is my training paying off? Am I getting better? Maybe even good enough to kick some Strigoi butt?" I rattled off a bunch of questions one by one getting very excited. He chuckled and placed his arm around my shoulder.
"You're getting there, but you still got quite a ways to go. I'm sure you'll have an advantage over your classmates having trained with your mother and myself, but don't rush into it. You have a lot of your mother in you and she always wanted to just jump into battle when she was young too. Just remember if you're defenseless run and ne-." My dad started his lecturing, but I cut him off.
"And never hesitate, I know dad, you've been teaching me these tactics my whole life." I said grinning at my father. He smiled, kissed my head and gave me one of his serious looks.
"Just always remember them my dochka." He replied and with that my mother, Rose Belikov walked into the room. I watched as my father's eyes turned to her and as sickeningly as it was to me, the love that swelled out of his eyes could never be mistaken. He walked over to her and they both smiled lovingly to each other and he leaned down to kiss her lips.
"You two are late, you weren't supposed to be out training so long." She remarked looking between the two of us. I smirked and walked over to them and we all walked out of the gym together as my mother wrapped her arm around my shoulder.
"Mom I need all the training that I can get. I'm lucky I got two parents with a kick ass reputation so I can show all those other Dhampirs I got a lot in me… and hopefully that'll keep them distracted enough to not all gawk at me because I'm different." I replied, then took a deep sigh, my mother's hand tightened on my shoulder.
"Hey, there's nothing wrong with being different, you know how different I was to everyone? How many people talked about me? You're just like me too, very outspoken, so if anyone makes any stupid comments for some reason, just fight back, but no one will say anything stupid because what you are is extraordinary, and you are going to make an amazing guardian one day." I smiled at my mother's words as my father wrapped his arm around both of us.
"I can't say your mother's outspokenness always helped her, especially since I did bail her out sometimes because of it, but she's right about everything else, you are amazing and very special. No other two Dhampirs in this world can make any kind of baby together, so that has always told us that, you are in this world for a reason Soph, and I don't think, I know you are going to do amazing things, and our world will know who you are." My father said with pride in his voice. I looked at him with tears in my eyes and he embraced me in his arms.
"Come on Sophia, we should finish your packing. Tomorrow it will be no more homeschooling; you are 16 now and like we agreed it's off to St. Vladimir's." My mother smiled. I smiled back at her and we all walked into our home. I was going to miss it here so much. It was going to be hard to be away from my parents, but they were right, I was going to kick some serious ass at this school!
I had just gotten off a plane in "God Knows Where" Montana. I gathered my bags and wandered around until I found a guy, who seemed to be a Dhampir holding a sign that said "Sophia Belikov". I walked over to him and pointed at him.
"My ride?" I said smirking; he grinned back at me and put the sign down. I looked him up and down. He was pretty attractive with his messy brown hair, and dark blue eyes. He looked in his 20's and was built like a typical guardian Dhampir. At a height about 6 feet he wasn't bad on the eyes. He grabbed my bag from my hands and pointed towards the exit.
"Well I'm assuming you can read, so you must be Sophia. Hi my name's Hunter Carlson; I'm going to be your mentor at St. Vladimir's." Hunter said cheerfully, extending his hand. I shook his hand and we went on our way. He put the bags in the back of the car and we set out on the highway towards the academy. I looked out the window, taking in my surroundings, than turned back and looked at Hunter.
"So if you're going to be my mentor that means you'll be the one mainly training me then right? Teaching me how to stake strigoi and behead them?" I asked excitedly. Hunter let out a laugh and turned to smile at me.
"Well you're interested, that's good, but don't get too ahead of yourself, we'll start with the basics and the evaluation of your technique, see if you are around the same level as the other students, all homeschooled students start with an evaluation their first day of training, standard procedure just to see if they meet standards and don't need the extra training the academy is willing to provide." Hunter explained to me. I raised an eyebrow at him and turned so I was facing him more in my seat.
"You do know who my parents are right? I've been sparing since I was two." I retorted back. Really, an evaluation, I don't need no evaluation, well I guess I do have to prove myself, it's what I've been working for like crazy the past two weeks. Hunter smirked at me as he turned off the highway onto a road engulfed in trees.
"Don't worry Sophia, everyone knows exactly who your parents are, everyone knows exactly who you are." Hunter replied. I glared at him and turned back to look out the window. We were entering through a huge gate and stopped to clear with the guardian who we were. As Hunter was speaking to the gateman, I looked up and took in the giant castle like building towering over me. I gaped a little and looked around seeing students swarming, hugging each other from being gone all summer and talking animatedly to one another. I turned back towards Hunter as he started driving again.
"No, they don't know me, they know of me. " I replied. Hunter stopped in front of a separate building across the way from what seemed to be the main building of the school that I had been gaping at earlier. Must be where most of the classes take place. He turned towards me and gave me a look of brief understanding then he turned to open his door. I followed suit and met him at the trunk to grab my bags. As he lifted the last one out, he paused and looked at me.
"Well I'm looking forward to you showing me who you are." Hunter stated. I smirked at him and he helped me deliver my bags to my room. I spent the rest of the day settling into my dorm room and unpacking my bags. It was a nice little room and having the privacy of a single room was a plus. The room provided a single bed, a desk for my laptop and books, a dresser for my clothing, and a closet. After I finished unpacking, I decided to take a walk around the grounds and get myself familiar with the buildings. On my walk I discovered two other buildings to be the younger girl and boy dhampir dorms and on the other side of the campus was all the moroi dorms and in between it all was the main building, the school. I walked into the school and found my way to the cafeteria. A lot of students were there, sitting having dinner, and mingling with friends. I stood observing all the students, feeling slightly insecure that I was alone and had no one. My attention was brought to a bunch of dhampir boys laughing at a table in the corner. Senior's I figured, they seemed so comfortable in their skin, and set off an authority of some sort. As I observed the group of boys, I noticed that I had caught the attention of one as their eyes landed on mine. He had deep green eyes that seemed to consume your soul. Dark messy hair that was no doubt styled that way. I looked at his body and noticed his amazing build, he was like a God. I wondered what it would be like to spar with him. Lost in my thoughts, I became unaware of my surroundings and my focus was soon torn away from the unknown boy to the girl tripping into me. I reached my hands out to steady her and placed her softly in front of me. The girl was taller than me, standing about at 5'6, with a slim build like that; it was easy to tell she was moroi. She had beautiful light blond hair, and light green eyes.
"You alright there?" I asked the girl as she regained her composure. She brushed off her clothing and smiled at me. I watched as she took in my appearance and I wondered if just my looks let people know who I might be.
"Yes, thank you, I apologize; I wasn't really watching where I was going. I'm sorry you look unfamiliar, are you new this year?" the girl asked in a very sweet voice that I couldn't help and smile at and feel like I wanted to open up to her. She reminded me very much of my Aunt Lissa.
"Yes, I was home schooled my whole life, this is my first year at the academy, but I'm a junior, my name's Sophia." I replied, extending my hand to the girl for her to shake. She smiled and shook my hand.
"I'm a junior too! How nice, maybe we'll have some of the same classes, my name is Arabella Swan. Hey, if you don't mind, want to come see the feeders with me? I was just heading there, but I'd like to get to know you." Arabella replied, I smirked thinking about my own hunger. I liked Arabella, from what I could tell she was a very sweet girl, now she would withstand the test.
"Sure, I'm actually kind of hungry myself." I replied. Arabella gave me an odd look, but I counted down the seconds precisely as the recognition began to form across her face. What I least expected happened, her shock grew into excitement.
"You're Sophia Belikov aren't you? Oh my God, your parents are Rose and Dimitri Belikov! They're legends! I've always wanted to meet you! Do you have super powers or anything?" My eyes bulged as Arabella rambled off questions excitedly. My shock wore off and turned into laughter.
"As far as I can tell? No. I'm just like every other dhampir person, I just need to feed on blood, since I was born, and I've needed it." I replied, shrugging my shoulders. Arabella smiled at me and linked her arm through mine. I followed her as she led us towards the feeders.
"Well Sophia Belikov, normal dhampir, welcome to the club." Arabella said cheerfully as we entered the feeder's room. I gazed at her amused and smirked.
"What club?" I asked with laughter in my voice. Arabella stood for a minute thoughtful, and then shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know we'll come up with something." She replied. We both looked at each other and laughed together and just like that, I had met my new best friend, Arabella Swan.
