AN: Hiya everyone, this is my first every fanfiction and I would love any reviews you wish to give me. Please help me in making my story better. At some point in the story Dimitri will show up, along with Adrian and all of the other loved characters.

Disclaimer: As much as I would love to have written something like Vampire academy, all the credit goes to Richelle Mead. Any and all OC belong to me however, along with this plot

The chapters will start to get longer as time goes by, just bare with me.

To all those still out there, I am extremely sorry. I am currently editing these chapters and will hopefully release a new chapter by the end of the week.

"Miss Hathaway, you have been given many warnings on have several occasions about your behaviour, have you not? And yet you continue to ignore the rules of the school, you could of seriously have harmed dozens of students if that fire had spread! You have severely crossed the line and we cannot continue to give you special treatment-" Only three minutes into her spiel and Kirova had already lost me. There wasn't even any point in listening, it wasn't as if I could get a word in any time soon. Her rants were all the same, me needing to be less reckless, less self-centred and to have more responsibility regarding my actions...Bleh. If she let me speak she would realise that I didn't know what would happen if those two certain chemicals were mixed. Its just the class was incredibly boring and I wanted to get out of it sooner rather then later.

I smirked as I remembered the teacher's face and her futile attempts to put out the rapidly spreading fire.

"Are you even listening to me Miss Hathaway?"

"No," the smoke coming out of her ears made my smirk grow.

"THAT IS IT MISS HATHAWY! Put away that smug look and listen. I have finally had enough. I have been looking over what punishments could be issued but over the years you have had detentions, suspensions and none of it seems to work! I have come to the only conclusion that I could find, you will be sent away immediately." Oh shit. She couldn't do that, could she? My cockiness dried up along with my smile

"You can't do that!" I exclaimed while jumping out of my seat, the guardians at the back of the room flinched but made no move to grab me. "I'm Lissa's guardian!"

"You are no such thing, you Miss Hathaway are a fifteen year old novice who has no boundaries and cannot control herself," I was stunned, never before had a teacher been as blatantly clear about their feelings towards me before.

"But her parents-"

"I know what her parents wanted, may they rest in peace, but I'm sure they would much rather have a guardian who is fit protect their daughter rather than an out of control child. I'm sorry Miss Hathaway but you had your chance. We have given you years to change and yet you still sit before me as reckless as you were when you were five. If we let you continue on to graduate your inconsideration for others may get Miss Dragomir killed. " Realising that she meant it, that I was so close to being sent away kicked started me into action.

"What are you going to do, send me to live with my Mom? Would she even take me in? Or maybe to my father? Good luck. Only god knows who he is." I snorted, thinking I had gained the upper hand.

Her eyes narrowed at the sight of my laugh, "Of course not Miss Hathaway, there is a house in a small Dhampir village that has agreed to take you in. You will gather your stuff and be escorted from the academy in the morning." Well shit.

I was sitting with my back to the wall smacking my forehead repeatedly with my hand when Lissa, Mason and Eddie burst into the room.

"Rose, please tell me it isn't true!" Lissa cried, wishing for me to make it all better. To say that nothing has changed and I would still be here in a week.

"I can't do that Liss," I managed to get out, my voice breaking a little at the end. She fell to her knees, sobbing. I put my arms around her and clutched her to my chest. She was holding onto my top tightly, as if it would keep me there beside her forever.

"What are you going to do?" Mase whispered, looking at me with pity in his eyes. " I mean, you can't really leave!"

I thought over my situation I came up with nothing. "I don't think there's away out of it this time, I just need to face the facts. In a few days time I will be living with the blood whores." I blinked back the tears that were threatening to spill over, "I'm leaving tomorrow morning, they're just not going to let me stay this time."
We all sat there in silence, the only thing disrupting the nothingness were Lissa's soft sobs. After what felt like hours I heard Eddie speak up.

" I know this is going to sound crazy, but what- what if you leave before they have a chance to drag you there?"

"And do what?" I questioned, wondering where he was going.

"I don't know, take some money and flee."

"But what about Strigoi? She would be going out there defenceless!" Lissa saw it as stupid, I saw it has my way out.

"I could take a stake and a couple of knifes, I already know how to kill one, I mean just how hard could it be to cut one of their heads off or set them on fire?" Everything started to fall into place, I could visualise a world of going out there, killing some mother fucking Strigoi and having no one to answer to. To have a world full of freedom. The possibilities were endless.

One thing that had always annoyed me about the whole guardian set up was that the enemy kept going to them, rather than the other way round.

If I was out there I would hunt the hunters, make the predator become the prey.

"In theory Rose! You have had no experience, and what you've learning in class can't even measure up to what it's like out there," Lissa gestured wildly, emphasises her words with her hands.

"You're great Rose, you're the best novice here, but even you couldn't pull something like this off!" I felt panic come rushing across the bond, Lissa was scared that I would die, and never see her again. "I can't lose you too," she whispered.

"Lissa," I started softly, drawing her into my arms. "I promise to come back, to live, but I can't let them haul me off somewhere to be a blood whore. And I can't let the killing of innocents continue."

And that is how I found myself venturing into a world of unknown danger with a bag pack full of clothes, a stake in my pocket and a knife in my boot. Ready for whatever the world threw at me. Or at least I thought I was.

A/n- Tell me what you think?

P.S Lissa still saved Rose in the car crash, which means Rose is still shadow kissed, she just doesn't know it yet. As the story progresses Rose might gain a few unexpected gifts. Gifts like seeing ghosts and sensing when a Strigoi is near, but maybe a few extra too.
