Chapter 2

RPOV

We stepped out of the mall and I was talking to Lissa when I felt the nausea that told me Strigoi were here. I was instantly in fighting stance with my stake in my hand. I shouted to Eddie and Dimitri

"Keep Adrian and Lissa safe. Strigoi are …" I was cut off when a female strigoi attacked me. I figured they realized what I was talking about when the strigoi attacked me. I killed her quickly and saw that there were only 3 more strigoi, the one fighting Dimitri, another fighting Eddie but neither of them noticed that the last one was sneaking up on Lissa. Seeing a strigoi try to kill my best friend mad me see red. Then everything went so fast, just before the strigoi reached Lissa all the strigoi went down … dead. I looked around at the others trying to figure out whether Lissa or Adrian killed them when I saw them staring at me like I grew another head or grew wings or something.

"What?" I asked irritated then I asked "what happened? And you can all close your mouths. God knows what could get in."

"You can control the elements … all the elements. I checked your aura, ask Adrian" Lissa said. I looked at Adrian, he just looked thunderstruck but nodded.

I gasped "but how? I'm dhampir" I asked in a shaky voice.

"it must be an effect of being shadow-kissed" Adrian said breaking out of his daze.

"What? Really?" I asked with Rose wit.

"I think we should go back to the academy to figure this out, then we can train you Rose, so you can learn how to use it when you are fighting, but no cheating when we have training" Dimitri said sternly then added "oh and Rose? You can put your hands back to normal now I don't think we will be attacked."

Sure enough when I looked at my hands they had fire surrounding them. Cool! Hmmm how will we do this? I pursued my lips in concentration, thinking about putting my hands back to normal, but things never go as planned. The element surrounding my hands changed first to water, then earth, then air then, to everyone's amazement, spirit then finally back to normal.

"Cool, now we can practice spirit together Rose, isn't that awesome." Lissa said excited

"Yeah, that's awesome alright except now I have double the effects of spirit and might go mad." I said darkly.

"Well now we know never to piss Rose off really badly, we might end up dead." Eddie said.

"True" everyone said. I glared at them and they shrunk back in their seats.

Lissa's POV

We stepped out of the mall and I was talking to Rose when all of a sudden Rose got into her fighting stance with her stake in hand.

She shouted "Keep Adrian and Lissa safe. Strigoi are …" and was cut off when a female strigoi attacked her. I figured Dimitri and Eddie understood what was going on. I was concentrating so much on Rose and the others fighting I didn't realize that a strigoi was sneaking up on me until Rose killed her strigoi and turned around. The expression on her face was pure fury with a lot of darkness, a combination a hated seeing on Rose's face. Just before the strigoi reached me magic of all the elements exploded from Rose's body through her hands. I saw this and instantly checked her aura and magic from all of the elements were all over the place like it was lying dormant for the past few years. Then all the strigoi dropped down … dead. Rose looked around us, possibly trying to figure out whether Adrian or I killed them when she saw us staring at her.

"What?" she asked irritated then asked "what happened? And you can all close your mouths. God knows what could get in."

"You can control the elements … all the elements. I checked your aura, ask Adrian" I said. She looked at Adrian, he just looked thunderstruck but nodded.

She gasped "but how? I'm dhampir" she asked in a shaky voice.

"It must be an effect of being shadow-kissed" Adrian said breaking out of his daze.

"What? Really?" she asked.

"I think we should go back to the academy to figure this out, then we can train you Rose, so you can learn how to use it when you are fighting, but no cheating when we have training" Dimitri said sternly then added "oh and Rose? You can put your hands back to normal now I don't think we will be attacked." It seemed as if Rose had not realized that her hands or her hair, which I must say looked cool, was on fire. She looked down surprised then pursued her lips in concentration. The element surrounding her hands changed first to water, then earth, then air then, to everyone's amazement, spirit then finally back to normal.

"Cool, now we can practice spirit together Rose, isn't that awesome." I said excited

"Yeah, that's awesome alright except now I have double the effects of spirit and might go mad." I said darkly. I hadn't thought of that.

"Well now we know never to piss Rose off really badly, we might end up joining the dead." Eddie said.

"True" everyone said. She glared at us and we shrunk back in our seats. The ride back to the academy was silent. We were all deep in thought about what happened today.

RPOV

When we reached the academy Lissa and I went to our dorm rooms to unpack. Dimitri went to speak to Kirova, Eddie went to look for Mia and Adrian went to his room. Once we were in our room, I burst out "What the hell happened?"

Lissa just gave me the how-am-I-supposed-to-know look, then said "I wonder what your specialized spirit ability is. It would be awesome if you have a different one from Adrian and me, cause then we would be able to teach each other and learn more about spirit together."

"Well we'll have to find out soon, won't we? I just wonder why it chose this time to show up I mean there were many other life-threatening times before were I was really pissed, why now?" I asked.

"Wait, every time you were really pissed you just got stronger and fought harder, maybe that is spirit's ability for you." Lissa said

"Hmm. Maybe your right and I just blamed it on the darkness, but what about the other elements?" I said, not turning around. When we were done packing we went down to the common rooms and met Adrian, Eddie, Pyro, Mia, and surprisingly Dimitri was there too. We walked towards them and just when we were in hearing distance,

Pyro said "Guess I'm not the only pyromaniac anymore." I scowled.

"Well pyro, at least I didn't set fire to my self, just the undead, and now I can put your fire out and beat your ass in no time." I said with a smirk when his face registered only shock.

"Little Dhampir" Adrian greeted me "your aura is a mix of blue (water), yellow (air), green (earth), red (fire) and gold (spirit) along with you usual shadow-kissed black. It is first I've ever seen with all those combinations." Then he got up and hugged me, earning a glare from Dimitri who saw me watching and put on his guardian mask.

"I've spoken to Headmistress Kirova about your … abilities and she has agreed to remove some lessons and replaced them with moroi magic classes and you can go to Adrian's room with Lissa to practice spirit" he announced, grimacing about the part about me going to Adrian's room after lessons.

"Oh joy" I muttered sarcastically "and be treated like a freak with me being dhampir and all. Thanks but I think I'll pass."

"Rose" Dimitri said with a hint of sternness in his voice "you have to train your elements to help you while fighting."

"but pyro will help with fire, Mia with water, Lissa and Adrian with spirit, umm and we'll find some people to help us with air and earth, right guys?" I said stubbornly.

"Oh Roza, you haven't even asked them yet" Dimitri said

"Well they will help right?" I asked looking at pyro, Lissa, Adrian and Mia.

"Right … I know we can ask Nicole who is an air user and Alec an earth user, I'm sure they will help us. I can ask them in my math class." Lissa said answering for all of them.

"You are the best, guys." I said "Thanks"

"Did Rosemarie Hathaway just thank us or did she take leave of her brain?" Mia asked shocked. I ignored them.

"Soo Eddie field experience is starting soon, who do you think you are going to get? We already know who you want to get" I said pointedly, changing the subject on purpose. Mia and Eddie blushed.

"We'll I hope I get someone nice, not Jesse or Ralph or something. Hopefully Christian or Adrian, because we all know you are getting Lissa." Eddie stated. I just hoped this was true because anything could happen.
