A/N: Hello everyone! I apologize for the possibly long hiatus I have been in. Work has been hectic and I have yet to find time to immerse myself into my story writings. And so, now that I have time, I dedicate it to writing and writing and writing and poof! New fanfic!
This is a fanfic of Vampire Academy, featuring our beloved Fire Prince, Christian Ozera and my OC, Gaia Starlight Ivashkov! Lol! Love you all for reviewing! And do enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing this!
I sincerely hope there would be a Vampire Academy 2, or else I would have to download and read the book myself in order to continue this story. For now, it ends at Chapter 4. I shall not make it 'complete' yet because I am sure there would be a Vampire Academy 2. Hehhe!
Kthxbye! XOXO!
Fanfiction Title: My Immortal
A Vampire Academy Romance Fanfic
Main Characters: CHRISTIAN AND OC (GAIA STARLIGHT IVASHKOV)
Chapter 1 – Transfer Student
The Vampire Academy, St. Vladimir... 700 years old worth of history of an academy and an entirely another universe of an academy… Moroi and Dhampir students came from all around the world to study things and spend their time in there, safe from the outside world and from harm. Here, they learn how to harness their powers, for the Morois, while for the Dhampirs, they learn how to protect themselves, and how to protect the Morois.
The Morois is a royal magical ancient race. The Moroi don't wear black capes; sleep in coffin, afraid of garlic or afraid of anything holy. They're just like another human being, except for having an extremely long life, beautiful and afraid of the annoying sunlight that would make them weak. They live off blood, because they have fangs and they're a vampire.
And today, a new transfer student arrives.
Her arrival is top secret. Five giant black range rovers escort her as bodyguards and ushers her quickly into St. Vladimir's grounds. She wears a long red cape, and her long black hair and face is hidden behind it. She walks in front, knowing her ways in the academy by a map, and the rest of the bodyguards follow her so.
Christian Ozera, on the other hand, is having a walk around the Academy. He kept having nightmares of his parents turning themselves Strigoi, and he couldn't sleep. He needs air. He needs freedom.
He hated what his parents have become, but they are still his parents. He misses them at one point, and hated himself for that. Missing is weak. He is the Head of the Ozera magical royal family. He has the most powerful element, Fire. He is the strongest Moroi student in St. Vladimir. And he is not weak.
As he walks, his train of thoughts strays off, and he stumbles into the red-caped girl when she rounded a corner.
"Ouch…" the girl said and just as she is going to fall onto the floor, Christian darted out his arm and pulled onto her hand. He pulls her in, and her body slammed onto his own and wrapped one arm around her waist. She gasped and looked up at him.
And then he saw her face.
Silver eyes… silvery eye the color of… silver. Grey, silver, whatever it is… the silver reminds him of the moon, and it shines with such radiance that it looks fiery and with life. Then her lips… oh, her red, red lips… there is a light blush on her fair high cheek bones cheeks, and she is beautiful.
Christian Ozera never believed love at first sight or those stupid things like imprinting. But he felt as if he had seen heaven and the moon for the first time… he is a blind man seeing the moon for the first time…
When she looks at him, he fell.
And suddenly, guards flanked his sides and caught his arms, pulling him off the girl and walloped him in a punch. The guards are powerful, and he doesn't stand a chance against them.
Dhampir guards… Or better yet, the Royal Dhampir guards, the strongest Dhampirs in the world.
"Stop it!" The girl screamed at them to stop, and the guards stopped walloping him up in a punch. She helped him up and he groaned.
"Are you alright?" she said to him gently in a bell like tone. Oh, it sounds so musical and beautiful, and Christian stares again into her face. She lifts up her hood and reveals shining black hair. Shining river of black hair... There are pearls weaved into her braids of hair, and there is a string of it that ran across her forehead and disappears into her hairline. She is beautiful.
"I apologize for the behaviors of my guards. They are worried with the recent attacks of the Strigois just outside of the Academy just a few days ago after Princess Vasilisa's return. I apologize, please, I am sorry. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine… it's okay…" he said to her and brushed off dirt from his coat. She wiped the blood stains on the corner of his lips with her thumb gently, and he stares at her.
How could someone be so beautiful exist here and he didn't know it…?
"I am Gaia," she said to him with a smile. "I'm new here." Oh, beautiful smile. She raises her hand to him and he held hers in his. Raising it to his lips, he kisses the back of her hand and watches as she blushes up shyly. Oh, adorable…
"Christian Ozera, at your service…" he said to her with a charming smile.
"The Prince of the Ozera royal family…!?" Gaia exclaims in surprise. "Oh, Prince Christian…" Gaia quickly bows to him. He stopped her and helped her up from her bow.
"Just Christian… We're friends of sort, aren't we?" he said to her with a gentle smile. "Just Christian will do. We are in St. Vladimir. Nobody calls anyone by title or do the bows you do…"
She smiles at him and with it; she is escorted away by her guards. She gave him a last look and a last smile, and Christian smiles back at her.
"Headmistress Kirova," Gaia said to the headmistress. The headmistress came around her desk and gave her a bow of respect.
"Grand Duchess of Kiev, welcome to St. Vladimir," the headmistress said to her. "I am so pleased you choose to study here with us. I am sure you will settle down here nicely. All our students here are nice pupils, and I believe you would excel here well…"
"I believe so," she said to him graciously with a smile. "I am sorry, headmistress. I am tired from my long journey, and I wishes to rest for the night…"
"Oh, of course, Your Grace!" the headmistress said happily. She leads her out of the office and to her room, which is the grand area where the royals stay.
"This is the academy's finest hostel units. We do not call it hostel, of course. We call it the Moon Palace. It is a place fit for royals and all royals lives here…" the headmistress said to her.
"Might I know who stays here?" she asks her.
The headmistress barked out a happy laugh. "Oh, Your Grace. The Dragomir last princess, Princess Vasilisa lives here. And so does Prince Christian Ozera. Prince Dashkov daughter also stays here, and now you, Your Grace…"
"Please, just Gaia is enough. I don't wish for anyone else to know about my status…" Gaia said to her, and the headmistress bows to her. Gaia's guards lifted her luggages and her things into her new palace room, and just before she went in, she saw Christian again.
"Gaia…!" Christian calls her, and she smiles up at him widely.
"Christian! Oh, where do you stay!? I thought this is like a dormitories or something and is separated by genders!?"
"The Moon Palace is not separated by genders," he said to her with a smile. "The rooms are marked with the royal family names… Mine is here…" he said to her and gestured to the room right in front of hers.
And she widens her eyes. "Why, this is such coincident! I stay just right in front of your room!"
"In front of my room..?" Christian said in confusion. "But that is the Ivashkov…"
And his eyes widens in surprise.
"You're the Grand Duchess of Kiev!?" he said to her in surprise. She balked.
"Shh!" she silenced him with one finger over his lips. "Shut it! Imma not gonna have the whole school knew I am Ivashkov!"
Christian barked out a laugh. He had never heard a royal speaks in such a way before. It is so refreshing to have someone like that to talk to.
"Why, so they won't bow to you all the time!?" Christian said to her and laughs. "I'm a Prince, and Lissa is Princess. They do not bow to us all the time as well. Adrian is an Ivashkov too…but he didn't get to stay here because he is not a close relative…you're cousins with him?"
"Yes. But he is distant. He is not important to us, but still serves his uses from time to time… I've warned him earlier, and he knew not to blab off his stupid mouth to everyone how grandmama's granddaughter is here at St. Vladimir. But imma's grandmamma is Queen Tatiana. I am her granddaughter! She always babies me up… remind me to run when she came to visit…" she said to him and he laughs again.
"Well, alright. I am sure you are tired from your long journey. You might as well take a rest… Goodnight Gaia."
"Oh, finally, someone is sensitive enough to my needs!" Gaia threw her hands up into the air and Christian laughs again. "Headmistress kept on going on and on about how great St. Vladimir is. Goodbye Samsung Galaxy Note ii… goodbye twitter… goodbye facebook…"
Christian laughs out loud again. She is not just refreshing. She is fascinating!
"Alright, alright… Be good and go to rest soon. If you're good, I'm going to show you how to have your own phone here in the royal quarters…" he said to her and winked before disappearing back to his room.
The next day, Christian stepped out of his room and found himself facing face to face with the now less elaborately dressed Gaia.
Her hair is tied up in a braid of buns that rests behind her neck. Her red, red lips are so seductively beautiful that he felt as if he could kiss her right then and there. But he held himself in check. He didn't want to scare away his little Grand Duchess of Kiev yet…
"Good morning, Christian!" she said to him happily. He smiles. It has been a while since someone said that to him. It made him feel good…
"Good morning, Gaia. You look good in your uniform…" he said to her pleasantly and offered up his arm to her. She laughs at him and linked her hand on his arm.
"Thank you, your highness," she said to him teasingly and he grinned up at her. He hasn't felt so good before for such a long while. Having someone he could smile to definitely brings his heart to another level of… well, what he would call happiness, he guessed at it.
They went to class together and sat together. Everyone marvels at the now smiling Christian, and Gaia looked at him incredulously.
"I'd take that you don't smile often right?" Gaia said to him and he smirked at her.
"Alright, pipe down," the teacher said to them and they slowly starts to settle down. He took out a piece of paper and scrutinizes it.
"Gaia Starlight Ivan-"
"I'M HERE!" Gaia exclaims loudly and bounced out of her seat quickly to stand in the stage, letting everyone stare at her and she huffed out loudly and glares at Christian, who laughs at her openly. "I'm Gaia Starlight. Pleased to meet you all."
"Well, now that we have introduced Miss Gaia here, let's continue where we left off," the teacher said to them and Gaia went back to her seat.
"Who is Vasilisa?" Gaia asks him. Christian cocked his head to the seat where Lissa is sitting at and Gaia stares at the girl with blonde hair.
"Oh, she is so beautiful, just like what the people had said about her…!" she gushes at Lissa and Christian stares at her incredulously. "Imma wanna be her friend. Oh, so pretty… I can make her dress up in my blue lace dress… oh, oh, oh! And who is that adorable black haired girl beside her!?"
"That is Rose. She is Lissa's own Dhampir guardian, though not a full guardian yet. Just a novice…" Christian said to her and Gaia nodded her head and smiles at him excitedly.
"Oh, she is so beautiful… Desert Princess comes to my mind when I look at her. Oh, she would look beautiful if we were to have an Arabian Nights tale play!" she said to him and suddenly, a blonde girl passed notes with a very obvious intention of having the teacher to find out her intentions of passing notes.
And Gaia's expression change.
"That girl is a bad, bad girl…" she said to him, and he looked at her. She smiles.
"I am Elemental and an Empathic User… I am the only person capable of growing trees and plants and flowers out of all the elements I control… water and earth creates plants…" she said to him, and he gaped at her.
"All the elements?" he repeated to her. She nodded her head.
"You had fire in you. Strong fire… hmm hmm… oh, and you can track people with their names alone. Cool…" she said to him, and he balked. How did she know…?
"Track people with their names?" he repeated the phrase. He didn't know he had that ability. She nodded her head again.
"Yeah... You can do it. With a bit of practice of course… Nothing comes easy for Morois, more so for the royal members of the royal household. Mine took 2 years to mature up… Your fire is useless outside of the Academy, so you'd better buck up and learn more before you had to fight outside…"
"You believe that too?" he said to her. "You believe that we need to learn more to defend ourselves against Strigoi?"
"Mia!" Mr. Meisner barked. "You are usually a lot better at passing notes…"
"Oh, no, Mr. Meisner," Mia said in her fake voice. Gaia gagged and Christian laughed at her expression. "Please don't read this note out loud. I beg of you…"
"Mr. Meisner," Lissa said to him. "You are being used as a tool to propaganda Mia's stupid speech…"
"Hmm… feisty…" Gaia said to Christian. He smiles at her.
"Dhampir-Moroi mastication is a very serious allegation. I'm gonna pretend I never read this…" Mr. Meisner said to them all.
Suddenly, Ralf erupted in flames and he screams like a girl. Gaia laughs out loud at him and pointed one finger at him. Everyone looked at her and laughs at her in return for her ways at laughing at Ralf.
"Christian, cut it out," Mr. Meisner said, and the fire stopped. "Kindly report to Headmistress Kirova's office, Mr. Ozera... Down the hall, to the left…"
"Like I need directions," he snapped at the teacher. He walks out and gave a glance back, and burns the paper in Mr. Meisner's hand.
"Nice one," Gaia said loudly and Mr. Meisner glares at her. She smiles back at him cheekily and he quickly averts his attention back to study.
After they finish with class, Lissa storms out of class with Rose behind her heels.
"Oh-uh, lovers quarrels…" Mia said sarcastically.
"Rose, I bleed for you…" Mia's friend said back bitingly.
"No, it's Rose who does the bleeding…" Mia said back with a laugh.
Out of nowhere, water erupted from everyone's bottles and showers upon the both of them. They screamed, and the jets of water shoot at them at such a high density that they actually felt hurt from the water jets. They hopped on their feet and everyone laughs at them.
When the water had finally settled down, Mia exclaims loudly.
"WHO DID THIS!?" Mia exclaims.
"It is I!" Gaia skids into the hall and made a grand entrance for herself and made a pose of sort with her arms in the air. Rose and Lissa laughed at her funny pose, and she winked at the both of them. "You need to watch your mouth there, biatch. Or imma gonna shower you with more and more water… great makeup sludge there!"
Mia screamed and storms out of the hall with everyone laughing at her. Gaia went up to the two of them and shakes their hands.
"Imma Gaia Starlight…" she introduces herself to them. "You must be Vasilisa Dragomir and you, oh, Rosemarie Hathaway… the most beautiful desert princess of the Dhampirs I've ever seen in my entire life…"
"Desert Princess?" Rose repeated with a raise of her eyebrows. "Damn, I like this girl… for once someone recognize true beauty here…"
"Oh, you girls are so beautiful… imma looove to dress you girls up. For now, you know what, there is this thing with dealing with those toadies…" she said to them, and Lissa laughs out at her words.
"Toadies!?" Lissa repeated with a laugh. "Wherever did you learn that!?"
"Oh, here and there and in some of the cheesy romantic novels humans used to read. Oh, imma so fired up. Imma gonna teach you everything I know about bullying and you can get back at that biatch. Unbe-bloody-lievably so!"
Rose and Lissa and Gaia quickly become fast friends. Lissa especially is so fascinated with her way of speaking the human's language that she constantly laughed whenever Gaia is talking. Rose, too, laughs at her, and with Rose's fiery attitude and her knack of cursing off like a sailor, Gaia also learns a few tricks from Rose, and Rose her…
"That is such a cool thing you did back there," Rose said to her. Gaia smiles at her and skipped with them.
"Oh, water is my best elements. Imma an elemental, but please, don't spread it all around. Imma don't want anyone else to know everything about me. Gotta keep it mysterious girls… a secret makes a woman, woman!" she said to them happily and Lissa and Rose laughs again at her.
"Oh, I do like you, Gaia dear. You are such a refreshing change after all the stuck up students here…" Lissa said to her and Gaia laughs at her and slung an arm around her shoulders.
"Well girls, go on ahead and love me all you want… Oh, the attentions… I love it! But not too much attention. I used to get them from those paparazzi… oh dear, said too much now…" Gaia said to them and suddenly closed her mouth with her hand.
And they surround her and gave her a wicked smile.
"Spill it out, bitch!" Rose said to her and poked her at her sides. "No one gets paparazzi except the Morois!" Gaia laughs and Lissa too, poked her at her sides.
"Alright, alright!" Gaia said to them and gave up in trying to keep everything in. "Only promise you won't tell anyone else… swear by the stars?"
"By the stars?" Lissa said incredulously. "Why stars?"
"Well, my name is Gaia Starlight… Queen Tatiana is my grandmamma…" she said to them in a small voice, and Rose quickly gaped at her.
And so does Lissa.
"Queen Tatiana!?" Rose said incredulously in a loud voice. Gaia shuts her up and slapped one hand over her mouth to shut her up.
"Told ja to keep it quiet, Rose!" Gaia said to her and pulls them to the sides of the corridor. "Imma don't want everyone to know grandmamma and my relationship! Hell would come if they did… oh, I don't ever want to know about it…"
"Seriously?" Lissa said to her.
"Yes, princess dear... So far only Christian knew about it. He's the first person to do so though. You guys are the second. Oh, princess, I thought you knew… we met at a ball not too long ago…"
"Well, not too long ago is 1 year ago, dear Gaia…" Lissa said to her and they walked to their next class. "We just came back from our great escapade. Fails, but nonetheless we've experienced outside life on our own for… one year… nice, gonna miss it though."
"Cool!" she said to them and her eyes are alight with fascination. "It is fascinating to live in the human world. I've done it for a fair few years… in New York, London, Japan and Taiwan. Oh, I love the Asian countries. They have the most exquisite food like Tom Yum and all those strange pork buns! Oh, I miss Hong Kong… and Iphone 5, and facebook, twitters, and oh, oh, oh! Ice cream yogurt!"
That effectively made the girls stopped walking and licked their lips at the thought of ice cream.
"Ice cream…" the girls chimed together dreamily. Then they looked at each other and laughed heartily.
"Imma have the most wonderful invention ever! A dear alchemist of mine gave it to me as a birthday gift. It can make ice cream of all the kinds in the world! You must come to my chambers tonight! And we can make ourselves tubs of ice cream in less than 10 minutes and we can stuff ourselves silly with it!" Gaia said to them and they screamed.
"Really!?" Lissa said to her and Gaia nodded her head earnestly. Rose stares at them sadly.
"I can't come, sorry…" Rose said to them and Gaia held her hand.
"What's wrong? Why can't you join us?"
"I'm a Dhampir. We are not welcomed in the courts of the royals or the royal palace. I sleep in a separate wing in the palace… not far from Lissa here, but still… not allowed in the chambers of the royals…" Rose said sadly. Gaia laughs heartily and pulls on at Gaia.
"Well, my dear Desert Princess, don't fret much! For I, am Gaia Starlight Ivashkov. I do reserve the rights to invite someone over to study with me, right? Oh, you should come too, Lissa. Let's 'study' together…!" Gaia said to them, and Rose smiles again at the invitation.
