A/N: The first chapter was based off the Moroi group of my characters. This one is based on the two young guardians: Hannah's persona and our other friend's.
Rose's Sister
The walls were covered in mats and dried blood. The older dhampirs were very violent. Rose was sparring with the younger students. At the moment she was sparing with her own little sister.
"Kick harder, Fate!" Rose snapped. Fate turned as if she were walking away and launched herself at her sister. Her dark brown hair was tied up in a ponytail but it still whipped around and smacked her in the face. Fate hit Rose and knocked them both down.
Rose and Fate went down with dirty punches and kicks. Fate pulled a stake on her sister and pointed it at her throat. "Was that any better?" She asked sweetly when her sister stilled.
"Very good, Fate." Rose said. Fate stood and replaced the stake. Rose got up and turned. "Next?" A dirty blonde haired boy stepped forward but didn't get far before someone clapped their hands and caught everyone's attention.
It was a tall man with sandy brown hair and dark brown eyes stood just inside the door. Rose straightened her back and looked back. Two boys flanked her. One a red head with dark blue eyes and the other a sandy blonde hair and hazel eyes. The three of them faced the man. Fate and the younger blonde boy stood tall beside each other.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Fate asked. Rose shot her sister a glare.
The man walked up to Fate and bent down to look her in the eye. Fate's eyes were wide but she didn't move. He smiled, "I've come to see the way the novices fight." He turned and showed his promise mark and all nine of his molnija marks.
Rose turned and beckoned the two boys forward. "Find out." The red head said. "Eddie?"
Eddie crossed his arms. "Let CJ and Fate show him." He replied, "CJ hasn't gotten to practice today."
The young boy next to Fate looked over at his brother. "You have got to be kidding me." Fate grabbed his arm and pushed him around the guardian.
The man barely moved but both novices caught the motion. Fate dove between his legs and CJ launched into the air. The man spun to face CJ and Fate yanked his legs out from beneath him. The man went down and both novices pulled their stakes on him.
Eddie laughed. "That's my brother for you." Rose nodded in agreement. Mason smiled too.
Fate and CJ helped the man to his feet. "I hope you two are at the top of your class." He said. Fate beamed at him but CJ ducked his head.
"CJ slacks in class but is amazing on the mats." Fate said. CJ's face went red. Fate realized what she had said and ducked behind her sister.
Rose, Eddie, and Mason were all laughing. Fate kicked her sister's feet out from under her and ran out. The man had a bemused look on his face. "I never did tell you who I was." Rose and her friends eyed him. "My name is Thane Petrov."
The older dhampirs' jaws dropped. "Alberta's son?" Eddie asked.
"Yes."
Mason and Eddie smiled at Rose. Rose nodded her appreciation. CJ became a motor mouth, asking Thane questions.
Fate ran back towards the dorms and almost bowled over two other girls. The taller of the two yanked the smaller one out of the way. Fate tumbled to the ground. "Oh, I'm so sorry!"
Fate looked up and saw that one girl had long white hair and blue-grey eyes. The other had silvery blonde hair and emerald green eyes. The taller one helped Fate to her feet.
"You okay?" She asked. Fate nodded and brushed off her leggings. Much like her sister she had curves and guys loved to stare. She put that to use and got away with just about everything.
"I'm sorry for about knocking you both over." Fate said apologetically.
The taller of the two waved off her apology. "We should have been watching where we were going."
The shorter snorted, "We?" She asked. "I'm pretty sure you were dragging me somewhere, Kya." Kya stuck her tongue out at her friend.
Fate shook her head. "Who are you two anyway?"
The shorter girl smiled and held out her hand, "I'm Snow Ashford and this is…"
"Kya Lynn Ivashkov!" A stern male voice snapped.
Kya flinched and turned slowly. "Adrian! Akira!" She exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" She seemed a little edgy. Snow stepped closer to her and Kya smiled gratefully.
Akira grabbed her younger sister by her collar. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" She hissed. Adrian ushered the other two girls away so his sisters could talk.
Snow and Fate were confused. Adrian frowned and turned back to his sisters. Akira was shaking Kya. The younger girls walked off.
A little while later the two wandered into library. Snow stopped and raised her eyebrow. Fate stopped and listened. There were sounds of books being thrown on the next floor up. The girls shared a look and took the stairs two at a time.
The scene they came to made Snow about start laughing. Fate was utterly confused as to why two boys were throwing precious books at each other. Ryan had hefted a larger volume and thrown it at his brother. Niko dodged it and it landed in front of Snow.
Ryan froze when he saw her pick it up and test its weight. His jaw dropped when she beamed his twin in the back of the head with it. Fate hit the floor with laughter and Ryan was trying not to laugh. Niko spun around and curled his hands into fists.
"You little bitch!" He snapped. He lunged for her but Fate was up and bowled into him. They went rolling across the floor. Fate pinned him for a second before he threw her off and flew at Snow again.
Ryan tossed another book and it landed in front of Niko. Niko tripped and went sprawling on the floor. Ryan jumped onto his brother's back and just sat there. Niko tried to throw him off but Fate helped Ryan.
"What the hell is going on here?" Mason asked. He and Rose had just gotten to the top of the staircase. They saw Fate and Ryan sitting on top of a pissed off Niko. Snow was standing by innocently.
Fate's eyes became as big as her face. Ryan and Niko looked up and stayed silent. Snow's jaw dropped and she ducked her head. Mason frowned at his sister and Rose yanked her's off Niko.
"Snow, what are you doing here?" Mason asked.
She wrapped her arms around her brother. "I didn't start anything, I swear!" Mason looked over at Rose with a confused look on his face. Rose shrugged and shoved her sister away.
Mason pat his sister on the back and led her away. Rose frowned at Fate and then yanked Ryan off his brother. "What happened here?"
Niko sneered at her. "We don't have to tell a dhampir what we were doing."
"No, but we do have to tell Rose." Ryan said with a glare at his brother.
Niko took a step forward and the vase next to him exploded. Niko, Ryan, and Fate jumped. Rose and Mason stiffened up. Snow just started laughing. It took a few minutes for her to calm down long enough to see that everyone was staring at her.
"What?" She asked sweetly.
Ryan shared a look with his brother. Niko glared at Snow. "Little whore." He snapped. Snow's face went from angelic to demonic as she glared back at him. Mason automatically let go and stepped back.
"Excuse me?" Snow asked. She was pissed and they all could tell. Rose and Mason backed up a few more steps and darted back downstairs. Fate fell over when Snow pushed past her. Ryan backed away slowly and Niko stood stock still.
He smirked. "You heard me." He said icily, "I didn't stutter."
Snow launched herself at him and they hit the ground. Niko shoved her off and went to stand back up. Snow threw shards from the broken vase at him. Niko hissed in pain as the shards cut deep into his cheek and chest. He tossed a fireball at her. Snow's jacket went up in flames before she could put it out.
"I liked that jacket, you bastard!" She snapped and tackled him again. Ryan grabbed Snow around the waist and hefted her off the ground. "Put me down!"
Ryan walked her down the stairs and set her on the floor. "I'm sorry but I'm the only one that is allowed to beat the shit out of my brother." He told her. Snow narrowed her eyes and began brushing soot off her light blue tank top and black skinny jeans.
"Well, get some blows in for me." She said irritably. He nodded and helped her brush off the soot. She grabbed his wrist. "Thanks but I've got this." She fluffed out her shirt and stalked away.
Ryan watched her go. "Good God, girl." He muttered. He let out a low whistle which Snow heard. She blushed and quickened her pace out the door and to her dorm.
