A/N: I will try to post weekly; I do not own anything except some of the plot. Oh if you have any ideas I will read through and I might pick one and give a shout out.
14 years old- Vacation goes bad.
Today was the first day of summer for the underclassmen. Lissa and I have just finished out freshman year while Andre, Lissa's brother just graduated. I was packing my bags for the trip Lissa's parents invited me to. We would be gone for 2 months; first we would go to the Dragamor's beach house in Cape Cod Massachusetts for 2 weeks then a road trip to Court and finally from court to Europe going to Italy, England, Sweden, Russia and Romania. In Romania I would meet my mother and her guard, an elderly Dashkov couple that she had been guarding for 7 years now.
I finally finished packing my last bag and quickly rounded up my bags: 2 duffle bags and a small bag for my passport, and makeup. I took my stuff to meet up with Lissa in her room, I knocked and she immediately opened. She was wearing a green halter that matched her eyes and a dark denim skirt. I myself was wearing a red spaghetti strap camisole and light denim mini shorts. "So you ready," I asked her.
"Yeah, I finished last night," She said while pointing to the 2 giant suitcases, a duffle bag and a small tote.
"Geez, did you pack enough for the next 3 months or for the next Great War?" I asked sarcastically.
"Nah, maybe half of it," she said smiling. We walked outside waiting at the tarmac for the Academy's plane to take us to Boston Airport. We waited with Alberta the new guardian headmaster and Guardian Alamo, who graduated a few years back and was accompanying us on most of the journey. Finally the plane arrived and we loaded in. The trip took at least 3 if not 4 hours. While flying Lissa and I talked and listened to her IPod; finally we landed in Boston, as soon as we got out of the plane and into the terminal, Lissa spotted her parents and ran right in to her father's arms.
"Hello, my sweetheart," he said into her hair. Lissa then turned to her mother, and hugged her tightly.
"I've missed you both so much," Lissa said near tears. Lissa's mother Rhea turned to me and hugged me lightly.
"Rose, how good to see you again, I hope you have been taking care of my little girl," she said.
"Yes, how are you Rhea and Eric, I haven't seen you since Christmas," I said politely.
"Good Rose, how was the trip?" Lissa's father Eric asked.
"Okay, just exhausted, I feel like a giant brink,"
"We'll be in Cape Cod soon," He chuckled.
For the past two weeks Lissa, her family, and I have been hanging out. Part of the reason I like staying with the Dragamors is that they don't treat me like a stranger or pity me visibly; they treat me like their own daughter. A few days after Lissa and me came down Andre drove from Court. We did a lot of things, we hung at the ocean, took a boat out to sea and had lunch, saw the latest movies, went shopping in Boston, took a weekend to visit a lake in New Hampshire staying in a cottage, and visited the old man of the mountain. It was great; whatever Lissa and me wanted to do we pretty much were able to do. Today, we had to go to court though; Eric had to go back to Court, because he was the Prince for the Dragamors. A prince or princess in the Moroi civilization was different than your average day fairytales. They were basically the oldest people from their family that represented them. Eric was the youngest due to the fact that there were only 3 Dragamors left (the don't count couples in the totals only blood line). We put our necessaries in a van that went ahead of us, the trip would only take a day or two, so we only grabbed a change of clothes and some food, and some bottled blood for the Moroi. Going with us was Guardian Alamo, the schools guardian, who I referred to as Guard Lame-o because she never did anything nor did she give us her first name. Then, there was Kyle and Patrick who were the guards protecting the Dragamor family. We decided to leave at 5pm, which was late human time and night vampire time. Eric was driving the mini van, next to him was Rhea, and in the back were Andre, Lissa, and then me. In the back were the guardians, Lame-o, Patrick and Kyle. The ride was brutally slow, the car was cramped, I fell asleep, about an hour after we started towards Court I was awoken by the worst pain I have ever felt in my life, and then I lost conciseness falling into a pit of black.
