DisClaimer:I do not own VA

ReCap:

" I actually came looking for you, there's something I need to tell you." Iris looked up and noticed the grave look in Alberta's facee and Iris's senses automatically went on red alert and she felt her body coil ready for attack. But that did not prepare her for what came next.

"Your mother was taken by a Strigoi who attacked your father."

Chapter two:And it begins

As The words left Alberta's mouth I felt myself slip to the ground, a gaurdian never lets her gaurd down, But I wasn't a gaurdian yet, My dad was attacked by a Strigoi and My mom was taken. Oh God if your out there... Why me?

"Iris come with me, hurry.." Alberta reached for her and placed her arms under my arms and pulled me up for an old lady she was strong and good and what she did her face was as passive as ever but her eyes betrayed her I could see the worry and grief.

"Is my dad...dead.?" I choked out that last word, my voice didn't sound like my own, it sounded weak. Alberta's mask slightly fell. .

"He's in critical condition he lost a lot of blood.. but he might be able to live.. Princess Vasilisa Dragomir is healing him the best she can." I felt my head hang low. Thank you God, my dad might survive but my mom.. mom.. she was the baddest Gaurdian out there.. what happened?

I didn't ask any more questions i jus followed Alberta back to Gaurdian headquaters there on campus Headmistress Kirova was there too. I met her gaze with the best gaurdian face i could muster. I may be going through something but that didn't mean I couldn't be strong.

"IrisCherie... I can't begin to explain how sorry I am about your mother.. Prince Ivashov wishes for you to be sent to the Royal Court as soon as possible so please pack and meet back here in 15 mins." With that information i tore out of there like a bat out of hell. I was back in my room throwing everything i needed, which i had no idea was, into a duffle bag.

"What the hell Iris! What are you doing?" Emma shot up trying to keep control as to not knock me out.

"I'm sorry Em but I got to go quick." I said while throwing clothes, my toothbrush, hair brush,under clothes and stake. The stake was my moms.. it had geometric designs on it I don't know what was so special about it but, my mom gave it to me with such a serious look I never questioned it's full meaning. I grabbed my Nazar and placed around my kneck with a kiss.

"Iris what's going on.. your scaring me." Emma looked like a child, her eyes huge with worry and fear. I didn't like it gaurdians weren't suppose to look like that. I blinked and with the best stoic face I could muster, I looked up meeting her worried gaze with my hard one.

"My father was attacked by a strigoi and my mother was taken... I'm going to the Royal Court." I turned to leave but next thing I know She grabs my arm.

"I'm going with you." Now that caught me by suprise but I didn't let it show, I shook my head and pulled out her grip, pushing her away and shuting the door between us.

I ran back to Alberta and we ran to the private jet that awaited me. I sat by myself next to a window, I wasw absentmindly playing with the Nazar letting memories flow through my mind. I silently let a prayer escape my lips towards a heaven I believed in when crucial..

God, if your listening let my mother be safe. Let my dad survive.

When we landed I found myself ushered into the palace. Where Aunt Lissa was waiting for me, along with Uncle Christian.

"Oh Iris!" She exclaimed with tears in her eyes, my worst fear realized, i thought my dad was dead.

"He's alive Iris... but Rose..." She couldn''t even finish her sobs racked her throat. Uncle Christian was there to rub her back soothingly. I took a deep breath and hugged her close, her and mom have been best friends since kindergarten they even had this wierd bond going on.

"It's more then ever I wish this stupid worked bout ways!" She exclaimed with so much anger it scared me.

"Auntie please calm down... I'm sure mom is find... where is dad.?" I asked trying to hold back the tears. Uncle Christian looked up with such a paind look in his beautiful azure eyes that I had to look away towards aunt Lissa.

"He's in critical condition Iris please remember that." He replied and stroded towards a wing in the palace I was unfamiliar with, but nonetheless I followed.

What I saw made me break down. My dad Prince Adrian Ivashkov his once beautiful hazlenut hair not matted with sweat and blood, his emerald eyes unfocused and scared, his skin deathly pale and had dried blood on it. . I've been saying that a lot... but dad.. oh my god.I cried, for the first time in a long time I wholeheartedly cried, letting my legs fall out from beneath me I hit the marble floor wit a thud my face making contact with the marble as my hair covered most of my facee but soon became wet with my tears. I let my body shake with sobs that could most likely be heard all over the royal court.

"Little Dhampir..." It was weak strained sounded almost painful but it set something off in me. I straightened up wiping my tears away. I got up and walked slowly towards my dad.

"Daddy..." I didn't care if I sounded like a little girl... I think I was allowed to in these circumstances. He shushed me and moved over in his full size death bed. It looked almost painful to him but he managed and gentley patted it for me to lay down with him, i hesitated and looked at Aunt Lissa she nodded encouragingly. I took off my shoes and climbed in bed lightly hugging my dad. He lifted his hand and began running his fingers through my hair... I began to humm the old russian lullaby my mom use to sing to me. Dad looked at me with sucha a pained look that I choked, and began to cry.

"Iris... shhh...no tears..." He rubbed my head lovingly.. I calmed down and before I knew it was fast asleep in my father's arms.

Run.

It's what I've been taught to do in situations like this. But forgeting all my lessons, I hesitated and that hesitation could cost me my kneck... or life. Next thing i know I'm staring straight into dark brown eyes rhimmed in red, I feel the bile rise to my mouth, but jus like all the other dreams all he says is one simple word filled with so much emotion I always wake up with tears.

"Roza"

I woke with a start, taking in m surroundings, I noticed that I was no longer with my dad i was in a room filled wit luxurious things, the bed a king sized one with goose Duvet comforters in rich red and gold, the pillowcases in raw silk. A sudden knock on the door awakened me from my shock. I got up and answered the door, there was a gaurdian whom looked somewhat familiar, her hair cut short.

"Princess Dragomir requests your company as soon as you are ready." She looked everybit a gaurdian but her accent... it seems so familiar. I simply nodded. She turned out and I shut the door. I looked down and groaned I was still in my pajamas from earlier and how they were twisted from my thrashing. I decided Aunt Lissa would understand that a shower was in need. I sighed and sniffed. Ooo.. and some mouth wash.

I stepped out of a steaming shower with a towel wrapped around my body and as I towel dried my hair I noticed a crimson gown on my bed and my bed made.. on the dress there was a note.

Dearest IrisCherie,

Here is a much needed addition to your dwindled wardrobe.

It will look great on you and bring out the natural beauty within.

With unconditional love,

Your father

I giggled and placed the card aside. I gasped as I pulled the gown up. it was certainly not the kind of dress a normal dad would buy his 16 year old daughter but my dad was special. The gown wasn't so long since my 5'7 self couldn't go with long dresses, it hugged my top curves with a sleeveless Sweetheart cutt that went dangerously low on the back, it sinched at the wait in a corset fashion, but it fanned outt into a veil like substance with tiny ruby gem like rhinestones, with my father I wouldn't doubt that they were real. I moutrized my body and slipped on the gown it fit just right. It felt wierd somehow like I was looking in a photo album... I loked in the mirror to see my mom. I felt a tightness on my heart that made me shake. I couldn't, no shouldn't be acting to selfish when my mom was missing. I grabbed the towl off my hair and blowed dried my long hair till it was wavey in the pretty way i styled it to fall down my back in natural waves yet look curled at the ends. i slipped on the black heels left at the bottom and Mom's Nazar but let it slide down my dress for safe keeping.

I stepped out of my room and walked the halls looking for some sign of where I should be going. I saw a group of teens that looked vaguely familiar.

"Emma.!" I hollered and saw her and the other two boys pause. She turned with a nervous smile, the boys kept their backs to me.

"Hiya Iris... umm..listen.. I could explain..." I cut her off and raised my hand at her, she flinched but I just sighed and put both hands on my hips flipping my hair back.

"Daniel what are you doing here with Josh?" They both turned at their names, Daniel was 16 and had Black hair and startaling silver eyes which went wide with awe when he saw me. I smirked that infamous Hathaway smirk.

"Quit them dirty thoughts Bell or I'm going to smack you around." He met my gaze with a smile of his own.

"You say that like it's a bad thing." He winked and I rolled my eyes. Joshua Skype was 14 and a novice that we took under our wing after some bullying incidents he is still timid at times and tends to blend in the background. He has dirty blonde hair and blue green eyes, he has such an innocent aura around him that we all treat him like a baby brother.

"And you Josh what are you doing here with them? I can't you two would recklessly bring him here and how did you even manage..."

"Iris"

"I can't believe it do you guys know how dumb and idiotic..."

"IRISCHERIE!"

In all my years of knowing Emma McAfee she never rose her voice at me. My startled look must have gave me away cause she took that chance to speak.

"They're writing your mother off as dead."

"WHAT!" Now it was my turn to yell I turned and stopped off, as fast as my heels would let me to where ever Aunt Lissa was. I didn't have to go far I bumped into the woman from this morning.

"Hey! Where is Aunt Lissa?" I don't think she appreciated me raising my voice at her and right now I didn't really care.

"Princess Vasilisa is in the tea parlor waiting for you." I nodded and left. I was unaware of my friends following me till I arrived and Auntie's eyebrow shot up.

"Who are there three Iris?" I turned and groaned.. these three...right.

"My friends Emma McAfee, Daniel Bell, and Joshua Skype all three are novices." They each murmered a hello and bowed politely.

"Auntie what is this about my mom being claimed dead?" I did my best not to raise my voice but I'm suspecting that at her flinches I was unsucessful.

"Calm down Iris and I will explain sit and offer your friends some tea don't be rude." It was now more then ever I missed the laid back Lissa that use to lounge around with mom reliving what they called their Golden years. But she was a Princess and might even become Queen with the elections taking place soon, but I'll admitt that she was the most admirable right now.

"It is very unlikely that they will even issue a look for her, she's merely a dhampir and a gaurdian. Even if she was mine..." Her voice catched and it hit me, she's hurting more then me. I mean her and mom have been together and through so much that of course she's feeling it. I gentley put my hand over hers. I gave her my strongest look that I could muster.

"I'll go look for her." Her eyes shot up and I saw the fear in her eyes replaced with sudden anger but before she could lash out it was replace with a watery smile and a far away look.

"Your so much like Rose it's hard to tell you not to do it... cause I know you will... you two are so much alike it's like I'm staring at her... the only difference is the eyes.. it's a mix or Rose's dark brown and Adrian's emerald green." She smiled a soft smile and nodded her head to her gaurdian.

"Viktoria you can leave.." Ahh so that was her name.. she looked pained in doing her duty and in doing as her Moroi wished.

"Don;t worry I have four very capable novices and Christian is here as well." Viktoria nodded and left quietly. Lissa exhaled and met my eyes with such a gaze that i was startled by how burning it was with pain.

"Auntie? What happens now?" I asked she looked past me and to the other three. She beckoned them with her gloved hand they followed sitting next to me.

"Emma,Daniel, Josh.. can I trust my beloved Iris with you?" She asked with the utmost seriousness. They exchanged looks with each other and smiled. Daniel looked at me for a brief moment.

"We've been taking care of each other since we were little... and Gaurdian Hathaway is like a mom to us who have no parents... we want to help Princess." He looked so serious and strong it was hard not to find him attractive.

"You do know that helping Iris you will be putting your life on the line and will have to travel not communicating with loved ones and that Strigoi are a very big possibility." She still have that grave seriousness tone to her voice.

"Princess with the utmost respect please excuse my vulgarity but we would follow Iris to the pits of Hell and back if that's what it would take to get Gaurdian Hathaway back." It was Josh who spoke and it startled us. I smiled a warm smile and he met my gaze briefly before turning away with a slight blush.

"Well then.. I leave her well being to you three now go to Viktoria and ask her for the proper Gaurdian attire and equipment." They rose and bowed and stroded awy with a new set of confidence. I smiled.

"Auntie what is all this about?" I asked. She looked at me briefly as if conteplating something. But she eventually sighed and looked at me.

"How much do you know about Dimitri Belikov?"

Well? How was this chapter? It seems kind of rushed and if you get mixed up wit new characteres I'll leave some descriptions next chapter.

Well Leave your thoughts and click on the pretty button that I love so much!
