Oh How Beautiful Freedom Is-

Chapter 1

RPOV

The car was purring as I sped past the buildings of this small town in Montana. I was headed to St. Vladimir's, a school for Moroi and Dhampirs. Moroi are vampires that still had good in them, still had spirit connected to their souls. Dhampirs are half human half Moroi, their job is to protect Moroi at all cost.

My name is Rose Hathaway and I am neither dhampire nor moroi. I am a Factor. A badass one at that! There are only 2 factors born every century, a male and a female. They are born for one purpose and that is to decide what will rule each century, Good or Evil. I represent all that is good well my partner, Malachi represents all that is evil. The fate of each century is determined by the factors battling, whoever wins rules the century with good or evil at their side until the next battle.

I was headed to St. Vladimir's because it was the only safe place left for me to go, what with Malachi hunting me. Well I was there I was planning on continuing my training and sharpening my senses. The Guardians their promised me that I would be safe and have all the resources I would need, which is why I was headed their.

I was currently traveling with my best friend Eddie Castile. He was going through my CD collection looking for something to listen to. "God Rose all you have to listen to is chick music!" he sounded frustrated.

"Admit it Eddie you love my music", I teased. "But if you want to listen to something else there are more CDs in the glove compartment" I sighed.

After going through the CDs for a while he found one he liked, "I'll listen to The Dead Weather. I love their music". Eddie loved any music that had a good beat and was unique.

It wasn't long till we arrived and I was dreading going through the process of explaining things to people, it was such a pain in the ass. "We'll be there in 45 minutes" I sighed.

"Don't worry Rose they'll be to impressed by you to judge you, besides once they see you fight they'll be scared shitless of you!"

I smiled at what Eddie just said. It was true I was one hell of a fighter, but I could only hope it was enough to beat Malachi when the time comes.

DPOV

We were told to meet in the Guardians conference room because we were expecting a new 'student'; at least that's what we were told. This person who ever they were was obviously important if we were having more guardians transported here to help protect them. Only Alberta and the headmistress knew anything about this person.

Alberta called the room to attention and I focused on what she was about to say. "we have a new student joining us today. She should be her momentarily and will explain the situation to you" Alberta was shuffling her papers well we all waited.

A Guardian knocked on the door and went to Alberta to inform her of something. "Well bring them in, don't keep them waiting" she said matter of factlly. We all leaned forward in our seats ready to learn why this girl was so important.

The Guardian returned escorting a dhampir and a girl who looked to be about 17 or 18. The dhampir was 6 foot and average looking to me. She on the other hand was beautiful. She was about 5'5" and had dark brown hair that went to the middle of her back and big round dark eyes with sun kissed skin. She was a goddess!
