I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THESE THINGS EXCEPT MY OWN OC
~*Chapter 2*~
"Madalina, Welcome to St Vladimir Academy"
"St Vladimir...Academy?" I said to myself, I was nervous to tell you the truth i did not know what to expect from a school that was in the middle of nowhere.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" said the woman, "umm sure, i guess so" i replied. She laughed "You'll get use to it here Madalina, Shall we go inside?" said the woman.
It was getting cold, I nodded my head. While we were walking i kept on thinking what happened back there. "What's wrong?" I turned my head to see the man looking at me, "Oh um its nothing" I replied, "Really...Because it looked like you had something on your mind" replied the man. I noticed he had an accent, "Well there was something on my mind" I said hoping to get some answers
"Well I'll shall tell you, what would you like to know?" said the man, how can i have put it in a way he would understand "What was that thing back there?" i pointed behind me, The man looked at the ground for a minute then looked at me again "I cannot tell you that" he replied.
What was the point in that? He said He shall tell me everything but yet... nothing
He knew i wasnt happy with his answer and we stayed quiet until we reach the academy.
I looked around when we went inside, the place was huge, i have actually never seen a big school like this before in my life. "Come along now Madalina, we have things to discuss" said the woman.
I followed her down a corridor and i noticed at the corner of my eye, there were some students looking through the window of the door to see what was happening, "Here we are, come on in Madalina and have a seat" said the woman. As i walked into the room i noticed there was no light anywhere all i saw was darkness. The Man behind me switched on the lights and as he turned them on, There were people round the room in black coats like the guy who saved me. I took a seat and the woman started to speak to me, "So you name is Madalina McAslan and you are..how old?" said the woman, I replied back "I'm 21 years old and I'm from Scotland"
"Well allow me to introduce myself, I'm Headmistress Kirova" Said Kirova
"Well Its nice to meet you, Miss and Thank you for earlier" I replied, The Headmistress could not believe what she just heard, "Such manners" she said with a smile on her face.
We started talking about what happened today with that red eyes man and why he tried to bite me like he was some kind of... vampire. But i know vampires dont exist but then what she told me next was a surprise "What you saw today is what we call a Strigoi" said the Headmistress
" A Strigoi?" I replied looking confused. "You see Strigois are undead vampires who will use Moroi and Vampires alike to make them a Strigoi too."
My eyes shot opened, did she say vampires and undead vampires?
The headmistress saw the expression on my face and smiled at me "You thought that vampires are just a scary story for little kids to be scared about right?" I nodded "Well they are real and they are attending this school with you alongside the dhampirs" she said
"Dhampirs? as in half human/half vampire Dhampirs?" The headmistress nodded
"All these people around you today are Dhampirs including Guardian Belikov"
Guardian Belikov? Who is Belikov?
The headmistress pointed to the end of the room "Guardian Belikov, come and introduce yourself"
I turned round to see the man standing before me, he looked at me and said "I am Dimitri Belikov, one of the guardians here in the academy" So that's what his name is Dimitri... Belikov.
"Anymore questions Madalina?" said the headmistress, I nodded
"If this school... sorry... academy is filled with vampires then how am i suppose to study around here in school without them... you know... biting me and them... Strigois, how am i suppose to defend myself against undead vampires?" I said
The headmistress gave me a timetable of my school days and i noticed the words "Combat Training", I was confused did they really expect me to fight? I couldnt even fight a kitten let alone a Strigoi. The Headmistress told Dimitri to show me to my room and as i left the headmistress said " You will be training with Dimitri as partners to get you prepared for a Strigoi attack" and with that we left the room.
While following Dimitri to my room, i thought about what happened today, I nearly got bitten by a Strigoi, I live in a Academy filled with Vampires and Dhampirs and Moroi? and I have to learn to fight in case of a Strigoi attack?
This was all too much to handle in one day maybe if i sleep on it then the next day will be fine.
then Dimitri started talking to me "So you're 21?" I nodded, he smiled like he was happy about my age "May i ask about your age Guardian Belikov?" he looked at me in the eyes and said " I'm 24 and dont call me Guardian Belikov when we are the only ones here"
I replied " Why dont you like that name?" he looked down on the ground
"Yes but you and I are the same so just call me Dimitri, ok Madalina?" I smilled " Ok but call me Maddie instead of Madalina" He nodded.
As we reached my room, He looked at me and said "Goodnight Maddie" at that point I got goosebumps when he said my name with that accent but i didnt show it.
"Goodnight" I replied as we were ready to depart from each other i forgot to tell him something, I opened my room door "Dimitri?" He turned to me "Yes Maddie?"
I smiled "Thank you for saving me today, Dimitri"
He smiled "Goodnight Maddie"
and with that I closed the door and went to sleep.
