Okay, so this is a fan-fic about Rose returning to check on her friends. The first chapter is basically about her explaining everything and describing how she's changed. Hope you enjoy it, and review! Give me some tips, and if you see any errors, tell me.
Sadly, I own nothing.
I hate Russia. It's cold, windy, and everyone calls me Roza Hathaway. I wish that didn't bother me but it did. My real name is Rosemarie Hathaway, but everyone calls me Rose. Only one person called me Roza, and he's the reason I'm here. Dimitri. He was my mentor back at St. Vladimir's Academy, and we fell in love with each other. But he was captured during a Strigoi attack, and turned Strigoi himself. Am I getting ahead of myself? Maybe I should explain what the Strigoi are.
There are two types of vampires in the world. The Moroi are live vampires. They are able to use magic, and never kill when they drink blood. That's what my best friend Lissa is, a Moroi. She's also the last living Dragomir, but I'll get to that soon. Anyways, the exact opposite of the Moroi are the Strigoi. They are dead vampires. The Strigoi have lost their humanity and their magic. They can't go out in the sun. And me? I'm half human and half Moroi; a damphir. We're the protectors of the Moroi, and we protect them from the Strigoi.
Lissa was supposed to be the one I protected. Since she's the last princess of her bloodline, she needed someone to keep her safe. We have a bond that formed after she brought me back from the dead. This means I can sense her feelings, and I can slip into her head (though not always when I want). When Dimitri was turned, however, I left my school, St. Vladimir's Academy, and went to kill him. The reason? I made a promise to him.
But I left almost a year ago. I left my old life behind. Even though I still check in on Lissa and all my old friends through our bond, I've had no contact with any of them. I don't want to. I just think that they wouldn't believe the changes that have happened. My hair, for one. I had cut it to the cut normally worn by guardians. It was easy, and I got some satisfaction out of it. I had promised I wouldn't cut it to Dimitri. One I didn't keep. Thinking of him sent a familiar pang through my heart, but I ignored it. It was overshadowed by the nauseous feeling that always occurred when Strigoi were near. I had been planning on going back, just to see how life was for my old friends. I was currently in the airport, so how could there be Strigoi. I walked over to a bathroom, and peered in. Two of them. I grabbed the silver stake, and slowly walked towards them. With their supersensitive hearing, the heard me.
"Hello, pretty girl," one of them said, staring at me with malice. I didn't give him time to continue though. I quickly lunged, but at the last second went for the other Strigoi. She didn't realize it, and practically fell on my stake. I quickly pulled it out and stared over at the other one.
"Not so pretty now, huh? Too bad for your partner," I taunted him, as we tested each other's defenses. Suddenly, he lunged, and gave me my opening, I brought my stake up, twisting it as it entered his heart. With a glance back, I exited. I needed to catch a plane.
