So this is not a new story, I am just re-uploading it since it was taken away by fanfiction... I hope it gets to stay this time!
THIS CHAPTER IS NOT READ THROUGH BY A BETA! Loads of misspelling and grammar mistakes!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Bloodlines or Vampire Academy world, it is all the work of Richelle Mead.


"Wake up! Sydney, wake up!" I felt someone shaking me and opened my eyes, wide with fear. I soon saw that it was Rose Hathaway, a dhampir that I had gotten close to first when I helped her out in Russia, and then later when I had helped her when she was on the run from her entire world, accused of high treason and of killing the moroi queen.

"Rose? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be protecting queen Vasilisa?" I was glad to see her, even if she was half a vampire, she was my friend and I had missed her.

"Sydney, look around you. You aren't in you dorm at the school anymore. We are in some sort of apartment or something, there is no windows and the door is locked! Come with me." I got up from my bed as soon as a realized she was right. I was in my pajamas, the same one I had put on the night before, in my dorm. I followed her out of the door from the room where I apparently had been sleeping. I didn't bother changing into normal clothes for two reasons: Rose had seen me in pajamas before so I didn't think it was necessary, and number two I didn't have any other clothes.

"Hey guys, have you found anything?" I heard Rose speaking, which made me realize there was other people there. I looked around me and saw the entire "Melrose" - family with Jill, Eddie, Angeline, Adrian, Neil and Zoe. Zoe sat a bit away from the others, with a terrified look on her face. She had come to us just three days before, and was still not used to the moroi or the dhampirs. When she saw me, she flung up and to my side. She was shaking, so I laid my arm on her shoulder, and she snuggled close to me. Except from the Melroses, there was more people in the room. They were: Micah and Trey from Amberwood, The queen and her boyfriend, Rose' mother Guardian Janine Hathaway, her father Abe Mazur, Sonya Karp and some more people who I didn't know. Suddenly Guardian Dimitri Belikov came out from a room with a girl who looked a little younger than me, maybe Jills age.

"Just three locked rooms, but no more people. But I also found this" he said to Rose, while giving her a letter. She looked at it and then turned to me. She handed me the letter and said:

"It has your name on it. Open it and read, maybe it tells us why we are here, and where here is." I slowly took it from her, confused. Who could it be from? I opened it, and started to read aloud:

"Dear Friends! I have gathered you here so that you finally can come to peace with everything in your lives. You will read some books, who will tell you about everything you need to know. You will start by reading the Bloodlines series which by now has three books. Then you will continue with the Vampire Academy, even though the first series is a spinoff from the second, it is important that you read in my correct order. When you all have finished you will finally have no secrets to one another which will make it easier for you to be as you are supposed to. There will of course be arguments and some unpleasant feelings while you read, but please do remember that this is for your own good. I wont let you leave this room until all of the books are finished, but there is food, clothes, and feeders, well everything you can possibly need here for the meantime. You will all take turns in reading, and please make sure that everyone gets to read just as much as the others.

Enjoy your time,

Love Richelle."

"What does that even mean? What books?" Rose screamed out in frustration, and tore the paper from my hands. She read it again, but didn't find any new information, which seemed to upset her.

"I found them" Vasilisa said and held up a package which seemed to be the books. Rose looked like she was about to start screaming again, but Dimitri put a hand on her shoulder and said:

"Roza, calm down. There is nothing we can do about, so i say we just get going. Okay?" She still looked pissed, but did as he said and sat down on a couch with him. Suddenly Zoe and I were the only ones standing, so I quickly dragged her with me to the last couch were we sat down. Vasilisa had picked up the first book and was just going to start reading the summary when I said:

"I'm sorry your highness, but I think that maybe we all should introduce ourselves before we start reading? I mean it would feel slightly weird reading in a group where almost no one knows everyone." I was a little scared that she would be angry with me for interrupting her, but just as Rose had told me she just smiled and said:

"That sounds like a great idea Sydney, but please do not call me you highness. Lissa will be just fine. Should I start?" No one said against her so she said:

"Well, my name is Lissa." She looked unsure like she wondered if she should say something more, but the others looked like they though it was enough. We moved along in the circle we had formed:

"My name is Christian."

"Mia."

"I'm Jill."

"Adrian."

"Eddie."

"Angeline."

"Sydney" I said, looking at my sister. She took a deep breath and then said:

"Zoe."

"Micah."

"Trey."

"Sonya."

"Mikhail."

"Abe Mazur." Naturally he couldn't just say his first name like everyone else, he just had to be special.

"Janine."

"Neil."

"Rose."

"Dimitri."

We had gone by everyone, so Lissa picked up the book again. She said:

Sydney protects vampire secrets - and human lives.

"Hey! Is this from my perspective?" I called out, scared to death of what we might hear. Rose just smiled evilly at me and said:

"I don't know, I guess we will have to find out." I held back a groan, this was going to be torture. Then Micah spoke:

"Vampires? What is this, some sort of fantasy book?" I jerked my head up, I had forgotten that he didn't know about vampires. All the others just looked at me, expected me to solve the situation. I said:

"No Micah, it's not. I guess we will have to tell you, you will find out even if we don't. Can someone tell him?" They just looked at me, and this time I groaned. Before I had the chance to say something, Zoe spoke up:

"She can't, just like I can't. The tattoo makes it impossible." I looked at her, a little guilty with her not knowing that I had broken the tattoo, but I knew I couldn't tell her. I just hoped it wouldn't be in the books. Rose spoke up and said:

"Oh, I forgot about that. Well..." She told Micah about the dhampirs, strigoi, moroi and the Alchemists. She also told him about how the used feeders instead of killing people, which looked like a relief to him, but a part form that he paled a lot, but at least he seemed to believe her. Suddenly he turned to Trey and asked:

"Did you know this? Are you one of them? And Jill, did you know this?" He looked desperate to hear a no from both of them, but he got disappointed:

"Yes i knew, but only because I was a part of a group called warriors of light. It's a group who fights the vampires, all of them, not only the strigoi." Jill then said:

"I am a moroi, Micah. I am sorry for lying to you, but I had no choice." She looked truly sorry, and I wished I could soothe her in some way, but I knew it wasn't possible. Not only because I sucked at it, also because of the fact that Zoe was here. Micah looked like he was about to pass out and said:

"Was that the reason that you broke up?" Jill looked even more said and just said:

"Yes. I am so sorry, I never meant to hurt you."

"Shall I continue?" Lissa was smart enough to chance the topic, and everyone looked relieved.

Sydney belongs to a secret group who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the world of humans and vampires.

"And thank god for that" Zoe whispered. She didn't think of that everyone but Micah and Trey could hear her, but thankfully no one commented it.

But when Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, she fears she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway.

"You were punished for helping me?" Rose looked shocked and I just simply said:

"Yes of course, I broke the rules and our laws. But all they did was taking me away from field service." Rose looked like she was about to continue the discussion, but thankfully Lissa continued reading:

What unfolds is far worse. The sister of Moroi queen Lissa Dragomir is in mortal danger, and goes into hiding. Now Sydney must act as her protector.

"You didn't want to help me? Why? And how could it be worse than being punished?" Jill asked.

"I am sure the book will tell you, Jill" I said, already tired of this.

The last thing Sydney wants is to be accused of sympathizing with vampires. And now she has to live with one...

"Oh." Jill seemed a little sad about it, but didn't say anything else. Lissa said:

"Who wants to read the first chapter?"

"Dimitri will, so that we follow the circle. The note told us we all should read just as much, right?" Rose said. She was right, so Dimitri took the book and said:

Chapter one.


Hope you liked it, please leave a review to help me get better!
