chapter 2

RPOV

"I have to get Sydney's present!" i complained as we walked-again-to the dining hall for dinner.

"You're going to the mall with Lissa tomorow, get it then." Dimitri said soundng extremly calm.

Sydneys birthday was in a week and, even though she said not to, i was freaking out over what to get her. I had been collecting auto trader's for the past six months and now had to find the perfect greek architecture book.

Most alchemist thought Moroi were evil creatures of the night and us dhampirs were their unatural offspring. Sydney of coarse still believed this but she had grown to be a good friend of mine and more than that with Adrian if what i heard was correct.

when he opened the door i saw a human girl standing awkwardly by the table. i ran over to hug her.

"Sydney! what are you doing here?"

"The queen invited me here for my birthday and i could hardly turn her down." she shrugged but i could tell she was happy and relieved to see me.

I sat down at the table in between Dimitri and Sydney. "how long are you staying?"

"two weeks," she placed her hand on Adrian's who was sitting next to her, "maybe three."

"thats great." i said, grinning.

"i know right, Rosie, we can all have a big sleepover!" Christian said with mock entusiasm.

"shut up, who said you were invited to our sleepover?"

He pretened to cry, "Liss, Rose wont let me go to the sleepover."

Lissa rolled her eyes, "get along, children." we all laughed.

"its like a big reunion." Dimitri noted.

i looked over at where Eddie and Jill where sitting next to Lissa and Christian oppisite us and laughed, "wow are we some odd couples or what?"

Adrian and Sydney blushed but everyone else laughed.

we really were. an alchemist and a moroi party boy. a beautiful moroi queen gifted with spirit and a boy from a digraced family with a personality as firey as his element. a young moroi princess who has barly seen the world and a devoted guardian who has seen much more than he wants. and then two badass guardians who can never have a family but love each other any way.

yeah we were odd, but people would have to get used to it.
