A/N: Okay, so here's my new story. Please give it a chance, it gets pretty good. This is just the prologue, and if I get five reviews, I'll post the first chapter, which I already have written. I really hope that you guys will like it, it's all based on a dream that I had one night.

Prologue

Life is pretty great. I should know. Between best friends, my boyfriend and being a kick-ass guardian, life is working out pretty well for me. But, they say that all good things come to an end.

Now, a bit about me: I'm a dhampir, a half human, half vampire. I'm eighteen, a recent graduate of St. Vladimir's Academy, a school for Moroi and dhampirs in backwoods Montana. One of my best friends Rose and I are another best friend's guardians, the guardians of Princess Vasilisa Dragomir. Or as we like to call her, Lissa. She's royal, the last of her line. We protect her from the Strigoi, which are evil, undead vampires. They, unlike Moroi, kill the person they feed off. Moroi get their daily source of blood from feeders, humans who willingly give themselves to the Moroi society, and are essentially vampire bite addicts. Strigoi drink from humans, dhampirs, ad Moroi. Human blood sustains them, dhampir blood makes them marginally stronger, but Moroi blood is what they really crave. Moroi blood makes them extremely strong.

All Moroi wield one of five elements; fire, water, air, earth, and the recently discovered spirit. That's Lissa's element, as well as Adrian's, who is another friend of mine. Lissa's boyfriend, Christian Ozera, wields fire. He's pretty badass with it, and helped Rose in a recent Strigoi attack on the school.

In case any of you were wondering, my name is Sarah Oldfield, and I'm the oldest in my family, who are all human. My little brothers are clueless as to what I am, and my mom wants to shield them from this world. Hey, I said life was great, but I never said that it was easy.

Okay, good? Bad? So-so? Please review and tell me what you think!

Random: OMG, I'm learning Russian! Dimitri inspired me to do it, so I'm getting pretty good :D It's actually really easy once you get the hang of reading the alphabet.
