A/N: Sorry I haven't posted in a while thanks for all the comments and views, I will start doing a crossover of some characters now. I don't own the characters of Vampire Academy they belong to Richelle Mead. Please review and check out my other stories.

18 years old- Reputations

Not before long it was graduation, beside the fact that every academy was sending their new guardians, the old king passed and know an Ivankov was to be reining. They weren't one of the strongest families: that would be the Ozeras, the Dragamors and the Daskovs. So the court would be busy. The dhampirs graduated first, the trials were the hardest thing. You'd think because it was one of the single most important things of my education that I'd remember, but it's all a blur. As soon as the trials were over it was time to get the guardian marks. The ceremony only lasted for an hour and a half there weren't that many students as there were years prior. To be a Guardian was hard, us dhampirs didn't have a choice really; even though if I did I probably wouldn't change my mind, I liked fighting controlling your movements, strategizing your enemy, fighting for a cause like it the western books. As soon as the ceremony was over there was a small party for the new guardian with food. The next morning it was the Moroi turn to graduate they wore their black gowns and it was like a human graduation, unlike the dhampirs who got marked like cattle and handed a certificate. The ceremony lasted for a long time Ivan was one of the last ones to get his diploma due to his last name. A few days later it was time for the new guardians to go to court in America. I had never been and I heard the plane trip to Pennsylvania was long and excruciating tired. And it was that plus, the trip was almost a day, as soon as we got to court we got our own rooms and settled in. Ivan decided to come to court to meet up with his father rather than going over to Turkey.

The next day it was time to meet the new Queen Tatiana Ivankov, I sat next to Ivan near the front, all of the schools from Russia were there plus a few from Romania. My head wandered, I thought of my new life, unlike most teenagers my age I couldn't party or be reckless, or do anything fun practically. " Well, shit" Ivan said softly.

"What?" I asked him following my gaze to the queen and a guy probably a couple of years younger, he had dark hair that was a complete mess on his head, he was tall probably 6'2 or 6'3 with green eyes, clearly a Moroi.

"See that guy," he said gazing over, "the one with the dark hair."

"Yeah, so what?" I asked.

"That's Adrian Ivankov the Queen's great nephew, he has a serious problem: he drinks, he gambles, and he's a man whore, he uses and abuses women, he has a bad reputation, and him and I just don't get along."

"Is there any reason why?" I asked curiously.

"He used my sister a couple of months ago before the Court had him transfer to an academy in the East Coast." Ivan said clearly mad.

"Who's his father?" I asked dreading the answer.

"Nathan Ivankov," he said through his teeth.

"Figures," (A/N: Due to the fact that Richelle hasn't said who Dimitri's father is yet I decided in my story that it would be Nathan, because he fits the characteristics: He's royal, fairly tall, with no manners and no respect to any dhampir or woman. It just fits, which in return makes Dimitri not like Adrian). Not many people knew about my royal father, most never asked. Not many dhampirs know their father, so they all figured that I didn't either. I knew that my father was Nathan Ivankov, I just wanted to forget. Just then Adrian, my technical brother came up to Ivan and I. He probably had no clue, which makes sense because I had no clue about him and there was no way I was cozying up to him.

"Ivan, it's been a while hasn't it?" Adrian asked with an obvious fake smile.

"Yes, it has, how is your new academy?"

"It's fine, still up to the same shenanigans and all." My jaw clenched.

"This is Dimitri Belikov," he said to Adrian who was looking at some girl, not paying attention.

"I'll see you later Ivan," Adrian said walking up to the dhampir girl flirting with her. For the rest of the meeting I zoned in and out of the meeting, trying to figure out on how to stay away from Adrian and all of the other Ivankovs.
