A/N: This is my first vampire academy fan fiction, if I make any mistakes please excuse me. Read and Enjoy.

Chapter 1: Truth Unveiled.

Summary: Rose was never told about or brought up in the vampire world, she doesn't know about being a dhamphir, she is special so her mother had to give her up to protect her. This is her journey from finding out about the vampire world, starting at St. Vladamir's to finding out what is so special about her and even falling in love...

Disclaimer: I do not own vampire academy, it all belongs to the amazing Richelle Mead. I own the plot though!

I stood beyond the school gates waiting for Renee to walk out the school doors. She was always late and I was always impatient. Typical me. I saw cars race in front of me, I longed to have a car, the thought of just being able to drive free and roam around on my own was very appealing. My gaze wondered back to the school entrance just as I saw Renee walk out the door along with a male companion, Sam Langdon, messy red hair with delicious green eyes, good enough to eat but at the end of the day not my type.

As Renee moved towards me I saw bright colour in her cheeks and she looked both nervous and overly happy, after her goodbye to Sam they parted ways and she jogged up to me buzzing with energy.

"What's up?" my casual self responded, trying to pretend I didn't notice anything that was happening.

"You will never guess what just happened Rose" her voice was all high pitched and squeaky which as a good friend I didn't point out.

"Why? What happened that has caused Miss. Syke to become all squeaky" the sarcasm was literally dripping off my words, she glared viciously penetrating me with her unforgiving stare, so much for being a good friend.

"I'll let you know Miss. Hathaway when you stop insulting me, but guess what?" her mood swiftly changed and again she began to bubble with joy. "I got a date, with...guess who?" did she really want me to make guesses, wasn't it obvious enough.

"Price charming?"

"No dumbass, Sam Langdon!" could it be more obvious, it's not every day Renee walks out of school alongside a boy, she's great around people and socialising, she was always being invited to parties while I was the tag along most the time. But when it came to her crush she always found it difficult to speak to him so it was progress on her half.

"Congratulations! You win a million dollars!" I felt a pang of guilt and jealousy, she was standing in front of me telling me about her love life while mine was completely non-existent, the reasons were that most guys were ass holes, well the ones I knew anyway and that consisted of a lot of jocks and idiots.

"This is where the apology comes in Rose" her tone changed and I realised that there was a problem.

I sighed heavily and saw hurt flash in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I can't hang out with you tonight either", she had already stood me up for two weeks, there was always something coming up in her social life and I was always left to entertain myself most days. It was starting to become something that was occurring routinely. I felt ourselves slowly drifting away from each other but I didn't want to think like that.

"It's OK, I'm going home now anyway" I thought about going home but home never really felt like a place I belonged. I never did and I never will. I lived with my aunty as my parents had given me up to her because of some unexplained reasons. I've never really bothered trying to figure out my family tree, I was probably going to just grow up and then die alone. Families will always be families.

I got home and saw Aunt Trina standing by the dining table; her eyes were rimmed in red and she seemed to have been crying, I immediately knew something was wrong, this was very much unlike her. She looked up as I walked into the room, I saw her hesitate, she didn't seem to want to talk. Her voice came out wobbly and confused. I am actually a caring person inside but I can still be bitter and hostile. I knew this time I had to be the caring Rose.

"Is everything okay? Has something happened?" again she hesitated, she opened and closed her mouth like a fish but after a minute the words started spilling out.

"You've always been different and special Rose but you've never believed it, you're an amazing girl and I would do anything for you"

This was all so confusing, what did she mean? Why was she telling me all this?

"Rose you're leaving, you're going to the place you belong, where you were always meant to be".

Now was the time for a Rose outburst. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I can't leave, I belong here and nowhere else" even though I've never felt like it was home I still felt safe here and didn't want to leave. I felt tears prick at the back of my eyes threatening to escape. I felt my throat drying but I couldn't hold it in, the tears flooded out.

"Where am I going? Please don't make me go? I'll do anything, aaanything?" now the sobs were stopping me from talking. She came over and hugged me tightly.

There was a long silence which seemed to stretch.

"Your mother wants you back" she said flatly, there was no emotion in her voice.

"What?" now that threw me back big time, where did my mother come into the picture?

"Listen Rose, listen carefully, and don't say anything". I looked at her face, I'd been seeing her for most of my life and I always saw caring Aunt Trina staring back, now her expression was serious and ready to tell me something that would be life changing, I could feel it in me and I could see and feel the tension in her body.

"Rose you're not fully human. You're half human half vampire...Moroi".

"What the hell! Are you telling me bullshit!" I jerked away from her arms, this was crazy, what on earth was she saying, it sounded like something out of a story book.

"Rose you're a dhampir".
