Well, here you people go~ Chapter two may be awhile though, high school graduation is right around the corner, plus I have work. I will keep working on it though~

The only thing which belongs to me is Atrix, everything else belongs to Rachel Mead!


Decades had passed before Atrix decided to reach out towards society. A new set of hunters were hot on her heels, and she needed a way to hide. As a result, she was accepted (more like weaseled her way) into St. Vladimir's Vampire Academy. From what she found about the place, it was a school specially made for vampires known as Moroi, and for those known as Dhampirs, or those who are half vampire and half human. Considering she was half vampire and half wolf, she would more likely fit into the Dhampir section.

She wasn't going into this blindly; she had found as much information as she could before she decided to go with the school. She was somewhat aware of what awaited her there. One of which is intense training. The hybrid had already been told she was going to be getting extra practice time. Unless, she passed this combat-like test she was told she would take. It was to see just how much skill she had, and if she had what it took to become a guardian. That, she wasn't too sure of. A guardian?

At this moment, Atrix was walking up towards the gate to the academy. There was a cautiousness in her movement, as if she wasn't too sure on how to approach. Perhaps it was a bad idea to have instantly gone into hiding with so many people. She was used to the quiet wilderness, not interacting with anyone. Regardless, it may as well be safe.

A guardian on duty approached her. "You must be the new student. Please come this way," he instructed. Atrix followed as she was taken to one of the buildings. It took only a few minutes to get to their destination. It was the headmistress's office.

"You must be the new student," the woman stated obviously. Atrix remained quiet, but nodded as a response. "I am Ms. Kirova, the headmistress of this school," she continued. The woman then went into a lecture of what the rules were. The Hybrid only listened to half of what was being said.

When Kirova was finished listing the rules, she went onto the next matter of business. "I was told you had no practice, no training, of becoming a guardian?" She asked. Another nod came from me. "That makes you beyond behind in everything. What makes you believe that you will make it? That you are guardian-ready?" She continued.

The only thing Atrix said in return was, "Why don't you test me and find out?" There must have been some kind of look in her eyes. Kirova was more than ready to agree. She probably believed the newcomer with no experience would lose face, or prove her point. "Then let's begin now," Kirova smiled coldly. Already, Atrix did not like her. She became uneasy, but didn't back away from the challenge. Her wolf nature kicked in. Flight or fight. She chose to fight.

Half an hour later, Atrix was led to some sort of training ground. She surveyed the surrounding area, an escape route instantly forming into her mind. She stored it in the back of her mind, just to be safe. Her attention snapped back into focus when someone spoke to her. "Now, don't worry if you don't do well on this. You haven't had any sort of experience or training. Therefore, this will be mainly hand-to-hand combat." It was an older instructor who had spoken.

Atrix turned her attention forward to where a tall male was waiting. It didn't take long to figure out this was the person who she was going to spare with.

"This is Guardian Belikov, Dimitri Belikov; he will be who you will test with. He is one of our excellent Guardians at this school. If you can hold your own against him, then you have talent to continue training here," the same man said. Atrix blinked and studied the tall man before her. She noted how he had shoulder length brown hair. She couldn't help but find him attractive, though her face didn't show it.

"Let us begin," when he spoke was when she heard the Russian accent. It didn't really have much emotion in it either.

With that, Atrix went to where she was positioned across from Dimitri. Her body tensed with anticipation for an attack. More or less, she had to hold herself back from shifting her form to a wolf. That was something she would need to shake while she's here. Either way, she remained cautious.

Neither one of the made a move, they were studying each other. Atrix had gained patience from over the years, but she figured she would have to make the first move. Therefore, she did.

Atrix sprinted forward suddenly, her speeding increasing despite the short distance. When she came close, she didn't dive in to attack. Instead, she dodged to the left just as Dimitri started to move. He looked a little surprised at it, but said nothing. The movement caused him to change his course of action, his fist moving towards her to land a hit. No impact was made. Atrix had already moved once more when Dimitri had to maneuver his own attack. She swiped his feet from underneath him.

Even though she had to remain in her current form, she did let some wolf instinct push through. Atrix easily saw this as a battle between two alphas, fighting for their rightful position, without the claws and blood that is. The other half of the instinct was to get the opponent into a vulnerable position. That would prove to be a challenge.

Atrix struck her fist out as the guardian fell. It didn't surprise her when her punch didn't hit its mark. Dimitri had easily dodged thanks to his reflexes. He still had the studious look in his eyes.

It wasn't until fifteen minutes later when Dimitri stopped the test from going any further. They both only received a few bruises in the end. His expression showed he was impressed it.

The older guardian from before, now accompanied by a woman who appeared to be in her fifties, came up. "You held your own really well against him. You passed," he told her. "What do you think, Alberta?" He asked, turning his attention to the female guardian.

"She'd make a fine addition as a guardian. With a little more practice, and learning what it is to be a guardian, she could be one of the best, Stan," Alberta said, looking at Atrix with mild interest. "Your training will be under Dimitri. They start tomorrow," she added before going off somewhere.

With that, Atrix was led to the novice's dorm, where the Dhampirs in training were housed, to get settled in. Minus her having no knowledge on what a Guardian does, she hoped this place could also be a place to stay hidden. That is, as long as her secret stays hidden.
