Hi, my name is Bella and this is the story formerly known as Maximum Academy. Well for now it will be call Maximum Academy because I can't think if another title. So if you have any ideas tell me.
I'm sorry that I won't be able to promise super fast updates, but I am very busy as of lately. I am working on multiple projects, including an actual book. I will update this story when I find the time but besides that all I can promise is a good read. Thanks for understanding.
~Bella ;)
I changed something big in this chapter for you people who have already read it. Now this story takes place after the attack on St. Vlads in Shadow Kiss. Dimitri wasn't awakened but he did decide that him and Rose's "relationship"(if you can call it that) wouldn't work out, and I guess you could say, "dumped her." I love Dimitri and Rose together but kind of need that for this story since what I wanted to happen in the second chapter. Anyways, good reading. ~Bella ;)
Chapter one
Rose's POV
I heard a slight buzzing in the background. I ignored it at first but it now started to annoy me. What was I doing before I zoned out? Oh yeah, I was talking to Lissa. Slowly I let myself open up so I could actually she hat was around me.
"Rose, are you even listening?" Lissa asked me. She had an extremely annoyed look on her face, and her emotions matched that.
"Of course I'm listening," I said putting on the best fake smile that I could. Of course, I wasn't actually listening. With all that has happened lately-Dimitri turning me down, Lissa kind of going crazy again, Adrian trying to impress me, and Mason being back from the dead(didn't see that one coming, did you?)-I could really care less what she had to say. All that mattered was that she was safe.
Lissa frowned at my thoughts.(Yeah I forgot to mention that the bond works both ways now.) "Seriously Rose!" Lissa pleaded to me. "new... practice... Christian... Jealous..." I started to tune out without even realizing it.
I guess I was still tired from my late night training session. I had spent most of the night taking my anger out on a practice dummy. Now it was pretty much useless and they would have to throw it out. Trust me, those things are super tough. Now I was under house arrest because I had told Alberta I was leaving. When she demanded to know why I told her I was going to break Victor out of jail, so I randomly mad that one up, thinking she wouldn't even believe me, instead she overreacted and went straight to Kirova. Now I am starting to see the problem. Well at least I hadn't told her that Dimitri and I had sex. Now, apparently, I was a threat since if Victor was released he would most likely just go back to his crazy schemes, which I wasn't actually planning on releasing him. Now, instead of being locked up in a jail cell they "graciously" let me stay at the academy only to be under heavy supervision. Like guardians constantly following me around and listening to my every conversation. Crazy huh? It's not like I was that bad! I could at least wait until we graduated.
"Rose! Are you even listening? I asked if you think Christian is wrong! Which of course he is, right?" Lissa was screaming in my ear the best she could for being in a crowded cafeteria.
I snapped out of my own mind and looked up at Lissa. "Sorry Liss. Yeah, of course, he is totally wrong," I said not exactly sure what I was agreeing with.
Lissa rolled her eyes then smiled at me, being her true Lissa self and getting over it. "So see anyone you like in the new group of students?" She asked truly excited.
At the beginning of the new semester a new group of Moroi and Dhampirs would enroll. Speaking of that, guess who just walked into the cafeteria? The new group. It was relatively small this semester, only six.
The group consisted of a tall female dhampir with blondish brown hair who seemed to be the leader. Next was a black-haired emo looking boy and was most likely a Moroi. They looked around my age if not a year or two younger. Next was a another Moroi with strawberry blond hair. The rest were much younger than us and I was sort of surprised they weren't on the middle school campus. The oldest of the three was maybe fourteen, she had extremely tanned skin and a mass of dark brown curly hair, she looked Jamaican maybe. The next was about ten or eleven and had spiky blond hair and bright blue eyes, Moroi. Finally was an eight year old looking girl who had a mess of blood hair that reminded me of Mia, she must be the other boys sister. The little girl was holding a black Scottie. Following behind all of them was an extremely muscular dhampir with short black hair. He reminded me of Ambrose.
The black haired Moroi walked up to the leader and took her hand. That made the two youngest ones start to sing. "Max and Fang sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Soon the Jamacon girl joined in. The Scottie that the little blond girl was holding looked like he was snickering, but that was impossible, he was just a dog.
The leader, who was either Max or Fang, turned to and glared at the younger ones, which almost immediately shut them up. Once she was sure they wouldn't be singing again, she turned and started to walk again. The group passed a group of dhampir and Moroi started to whistle at the leader. She ignored them but the boy who was holding her hand growled at them. The girl smiled and kissed his check, which only caused him to blush and the kids to start singing again.
I squinted at them. Something was up and I couldn't figure it out. These people, these Moroi and dhampir, there was something up with them. They seemed so human. And call me crazy, which a lot of people have lately, but they kind or resembled birds.
I sighed. Maybe I was going crazy.
Max's POV
"Huh?" Nudge asked completely confused.
"This is idiotic," I whispered to Fang. He just chuckled and nodded.
"I said, there is a new threat called 'The Office' and we're transporting you to an academy to learn how to fight-" a government guy started to say but Iggy cut him off.
"Don't say it again!" He begged. Iggy turned in my direction with a pleading look on his face as if to say Please, tell me this idiot is joking.
I shook my head, then remembered that Iggy couldn't see it. Sighing I stood up and decided to voice most likely all of the Flock's opinions. "Come on!" I said. "You have got to be kidding me!"
The government man shook his head. "I am completely serious Maximum," he said. "Now, to prepare you for 'The Office' we will be sending you to a place called St. Vladimir's Academy to learn to fight them."
"Wait," Nudge stood up. "We're going to school?" The man nodded. She got a big grin on her face. "Yaaah!" She cheered. "We get to learn!"
"I still think this is idiotic," I said. She ignored me and continued cheering. Sighing again, I sat down next to Fang. "Can't you get some other mutant bird kids to fight off this thing?" I asked. Now that had to be the stupidest think I said in my life.
Angel giggled, "No Max, you've said stupider things before." I rolled my eye and ignored her.
"So what do you say about letting us go back to our house and finding some other mutant?" I asked.
I seriously thought that we had already saved the stupid world. I mean, that's what they told us anyway. Before being called here, the Flock and I were starting to settle down in a new house with my mom and Ella, and we weren't really planning doing anything like this for a long time. Now that this had come up, just wow.
The government guys face went red before he picked up the phone next to him and started pounding buttons. "Yes, they will be going, and send the new project with them," he gave us a sly smile before standing up. "Enjoy your stay at St. Vladimir's," he said before walking off.
And that's how we ended up here, at this academy place, with a new "flock member." At least, that's what he thought he was. Of course, I didn't think of him as one. Dylan was just an annoyance in our lives. The government dude had decided that he would be "important" to our mission. Really I think he just did it because I was annoying him. I'm really starting to regret the "other mutant bird kid" comment.
Dylan walked up next to me. "So, Max, what are we supposed to do while we're here?" He asked me. Dylan was invading my personal space now, and as you know, I do not take that lightly.
"One, back off, I don't care if you were assigned to us or not, I don't like people in my space," I growled at him. "Two, stop asking questions that would get us caught! I don't want to explain to any of these people about our," I lowered my voice, "wings, so don't talk about it. In fact, don't talk at all!"
Apparently, Dylan was supposed to be my perfect other half or something like that. I don't really care. I was only interested in dating Fang, and didn't plan on even giving Dylan a chance. He could stay with us, go on this stupid mission with us, heck he could even fly with us, but he will not break me and Fang up.
The lady at the front desk walked back up to us. She handed us all a piece of paper and a map. I'm assuming that it was our schedule and maps of the school. "I hope you have fun at St. Vladimir's," she smiled at us. The lady was very tall and a little paler than Iggy. "Also, you will need to go to dorm lobbies for your room assignments," she pointed to my map. "I've circled where your dorms are and also I wrote down how to get to the cafeteria, since it's breakfast time." She smiled at us.
I frowned and looked out one of the heavily tinted windows. Yeah, I was right, the sun had just gone down outside. When we had gotten off the private jet at this place it was like six p.m. We had talked to the principal, or dean or headmaster or whatever else she was called, for maybe an hour so now it was like seven. "It's like seven at night and you call that breakfast?" I asked stunned. I wasn't turning down the meal, but seriously it was seven at night!
The lady nodded. "You must have been on a human schedule where you were before," she smiled. "We are on a nocturnal schedule here, six a.m. is our curfew and six p.m. is our morning. I hope you can adjust." She was still smiling.
I looked at her like she was crazy but nodded, not wanting to deal with this anymore. We walked outside the office to the academy and started to follow the directions on the paper. You know, I was surprised she hadn't said anything about Total, who Angel was holding.
"That's was weird," I said to Fang. "Who sleeps during the day and does school at night?"
"Maybe they're vampires," Iggy laughed. "Blah, I vant to drink your vlood!" He said.
Gasman cracked up laughing. "And I vant vour snickers," he said doing an impression of ter Bos.
Nudge and Angel giggled while Iggy started cracking up laughing. Fang chucked at the confused look on Dylan's face. I soon joined them. I looked up and saw we were coming up on the building.
"Hum, that was quick," I commented. I guess whoever said time flies when you're having fun was right, whatever.
We walked into the room and all conversation died. What? They act as if they had never seen mutant bird kids before. That made me wonder, what was everyone here for? If this school was meant to teach you how to fight, then why were all these kids here? They didn't look like soldiers going to war, or mutants trying to say the world, so why were they here?
I looked over and say Angel shrugged. Of course she had been listening, I almost expected it now, though she was getting better. Tell me if you pick up any threats, I thought to her. Angel nodded and we continued walking.
My body tensed. I didn't like this place. It felt… weird. I don't know how to describe what I felt. All I knew is that I didn't trust this place. Then add in the fact that those windows looked hard to break through and there weren't many doors so there were not many ways to get out. Now I was starting to worry.
Seeing me tense up, Fang walked over and grabbed my hand. I gave it a small squeeze as a thanks. Fang squeezed back. Of course, this little action started them up.
"Max and Fang, sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Angel and Gazzy started but soon Nudge joined in. Total started to snicker and Iggy chuckled quietly. I growled quietly, why must they chose to do this in an awkward place? It's as if they wanted me to yell at them. Of course, Angel knew I wouldn't snap at them in a public place, well I would but not in this new place where we were supposed to not let anyone know about the wings.
I turned around and glared at them, which, as always, immediately made them shut up. Once I was sure they'd stay quiet, I turned around and started walking again.
We passed a group of boys who whistled at me. I ignored them but Fang started to growl. I smiled and kissed his check, both to calm him down and to show those staring girls that he was mine. Amazingly, Fang blushed. That made Iggy laugh and the little ones start to sing again. I sighed. Will they ever shut up. I guess this is how our whole day would go, with the little kids embarrassing me and Fang. Yah. Notice my sarcasm.
Well that was my rewrite. I hope you liked it. Also here are the age.
Vampire Academy ages the same.
Max: 17
Iggy: 17
Fang: 17
Nudge: 14
Gazzy/Gasman: 11
Angel: 9
So review and tell me what you think. Thanks guys and also I'd like to thank A Cannibalistic Skittle for letting me adopt her story. Please review.
