Hey guys I really hope you love this story as much as the first one, so this chapter is just a recap of everything that has happened; so itll pick up soon.

Sydney's POV

Everything was perfect.

It was amazing how good things turned out after so much hurt and unhappiness that had happened in such a short time; my parents' passing, being a slave to my stepfather and step sisters, almost forced to be an alchemist, forced to marry a man that nearly killed my true love, became pregnant, and nearly killed myself and my child.

So, it would seem that god had other plans for me.

I had fallen in love with a race that was forbidden to me.

A Moroi.

Adrian Ivashkov. Adrian was the crown prince to the Moroi throne; and when I first met him, it was like meeting heaven. Which is ironic since the Moroi are vampires and creatures of hell, or so Jarrod told me. However, I did not think that at all; ever since I came to live with Adrian and his family and friends after our marriage; they have treated me like family and are most kind to me.

I haven't heard or seen Jarrod since I escaped his clutches; and I pray I never do again. But that was all five years ago; Now I lived happily with Adrian, my husband, and our son Joel.

We lived in Palm Springs in my parents' old house; I gave Keith his old job back and he gladly accepted. Adrian and I even invited his guardians to stay with us; Dimitri, Eddie, and Angeline. They were all Dhampirs; half human and half vampire, trained to protect the Moroi from the real creatures of hell, Strigoi. They are pale with red eyes and drink until they kill. That's all im willing to say about them, it frightens me just thinking about them.

Angeline is a new recruit. Eddie and Dimitri took it upon themselves to be her mentors. And lets not forget my beloved dog Spartacus. He and Joel have become the best of friends and it is always a joy to see them play together.

So yes, I am happy and I just know everything is going to be ok.

So what did ya'll think!? Please R thank you :)
