Chapter 2 of Change. 1st little but is the same, but the rest is new. Enjoy :D

My name is Anastasia Dmitrivena Vasya Hathaway-Belikova. But you can call me Anya Belikova.

There are 4 types of people living in this world. Well, if you can call one of them 'people'. I guess there are 3 types of vampires, plus humans, in this world, would be a better statement. Moroi, Strigoi, human, dhampir. That's what I am.
Half human, half Moroi. I get the best of both species, and am training to become a protector of the Moroi. But there's one thing that us Dhampirs didn't get. We can't have children with other Dhampirs.
Screw that. Here I am, talking to you. But more on that later.
One day, I will become a Guardian. There is one Moroi I want to protect more than anyone else in the world: my best friend, Sophia.
Sophia Dragomir- the Queen's daughter. But there's something more that makes her special- she's a Spirit user, just like her mother. But luckily, like my mother, I can help her with that. We're not bonded, but I can help her in other ways, like being there for her, and well, more later.
Aside from this, there are a few other things that complicate my training every now and then.
One- sometimes I act before I think. But this is why I make sure I keep control of myself all the time, so when I get the urge to punch someone, I take it out on an inanimate object.
The other problem in my life is a guy.
I've been in love with him for years, but he doesn't feel the same way. But despite everything, I haven't had much luck getting over him. Especially after the last time I saw him...
I'm fifteen years old, training to protect and kill vampires, in love with a completely unsuitable guy, and have a best friend whose weird magic could drive her crazy.
Sound familiar?

Think again.

The first thing to mention is that I'm the daughter of 2 of the best Guardians the world has ever seen- Guardian Rose Hathaway and Guardian Dimitri Belikov.
This should, obviously, be impossible.
But thanks to the help of my amazing Godmother Lissa, who also happens to be Sophia's mum and the Queen, I was born.
By jiggling my DNA around a little bit when I was just a couple of cells, much like human scientists could, but with magic, I was conceived.
I am a normal dhampir, pretty much. I have my mother's hair and my father's eyes, and can kick ass as well as them (well, almost.)
I have slight attitude issues, which I inherit from my mom. If someone irritates me, I'll shoot back a snarky comment. If someone really annoys me, I'll want to punch them in the face.
But I don't, because I also have my dad's self-control. So most of the time I'll just threaten them, and hope they get the message. If they don't, then I'll punch them.
I get on better with teachers than mom did, because I actually work in lessons. I work almost as hard in theory lessons as I do in combat training. I get this from dad- I'm a straight-A student, even though I'd rather be outside fighting than in a classroom. But by getting in good with the teachers, I get more leeway on the un-sanctioned fights.
Except Stan Alto. He hates me as much as he hated mom, but is better at hiding it, as he is scared of dad. It's funny, because when I've made an inappropriate comment in class, or pissed him off, he'll refer to me as just 'Hathaway'. This is what makes it so obvious he hates me because I'm her daughter. It's because of this prejudice that I screw with him more than any other teachers, and for once, dad doesn't care.

More about my family.
Yes, I live at the Academy. But I see my parents every few weeks, as either they come to visit us, or we go to Court. By 'us', I mean my clan of followers. I mean friends.

Mom and dad being the Guardians of Sophia's mom and dad, we each get to see our parents twice as much.
This is great, as I know mom never saw her mother when she was growing up. When I was younger, I used to miss my parents sometimes, but I totally understand why I couldn't stay with them all the time. In their defence, they called me every day, wrote letters and emailed me constantly. They are always there if I need them, which is more than most Dhampirs have.

I see my grandma Janine and grandpa Abe quite a lot, too. I think they are trying to make up for never seeing my mom by being there for me and spoiling me. I'm not complaining, I love them both. Abe is hilarious, and tells me stories that Janine shouts at him for, before telling me her own Guardian tales.

I have Aunt Lissa and Uncle Christian, the Queen and King. Then there is obviously Sophia, who has just turned 16, and my mom and Lissa are always so happy that we are as close as they were.
Then there are Aiden, Ash and Summer, Sophia's brothers and sister. Ash is Sophia's twin, younger by 10 minutes. He annoys the hell out of me, and we are constantly bickering, much to our parents' amusement. Summer is the next youngest, the year below. She is nearly 15, and is already a kick-ass Earth user. She is insanely powerful, and can throw a punch too. Then there is Aiden, who is just 13, and is really sweet and funny.
The rest of our group is Mason and Marina- Mia and Eddie's twins who are in our year. Mason is just like his dad, and Marina is like her mom, but less girly. I suppose, training as a Guardian and all, she has to be.

Lastly, the other twins- Lily and Jet. They are Sydney and Adrian's children. Lily is like her mom, and Jet has his dad's attitude, but less of a party boy. He has Adrian's green eyes but naturally black hair, which no one can work out where it came from. He's Sophia's sort-of-secret boyfriend.
Yeah, lots of twins. It seems Spirit users are more likely to have twins, and Human/Moroi pairings also, which would explain how the Dhampir population was established so fast.

Then, there is my Russian family. I go to stay there every holiday, even more so in the last couple of years. Sometimes mom and dad come with me, when they have holiday, or if Lissa and Christian have a conference nearby.
I go there in the holidays as it beats being stuck at school when there are no lessons, and mom and dad still have to work. It was alright when I was younger; I would spend the whole time with Sophia and her family, and mine obviously. But Sophia always has to have a Guardian present if we go out, who is often a friend of my parents', or we stay in the Palace, where snotty Royals hang around and everything we say is within earshot of my parents.
Last year, I took Sophia to Russia with me for the first time, and she loved it. Aside from school, she'd never really got away from the Palace, but in my family's home, she was treated like normal.

Anyway, back to my family.
My dad brought me up to speak Russian alongside English, so I speak both fluently, though I would obviously call English my first language. This has left me with the slightest Russian accent, less that dad's, but still noticeable. (Apparently it becomes more pronounced when I'm angry.)
I have my aunts, my cousins, babushka and Yeva.
I call Yeva by her name as she said there is no need for titles between us; we are the same.

Yes, it seems I have inherited the 'second sight' from her, but stronger. This may have been intensified by the Spirit that was used to help make me (that makes me sound like a lab experiment), but Yeva is pretty certain that it is just destiny, and that my parents were always meant to have a child together who would be immensely powerful, and that was just who I was.
You probably want to know what my 'powers' are.
Well, I can see the future in flashes, much like Yeva. I can feel truth in people's words, or lies. Pretty average psychic stuff, right?

Wrong.

Because I can also feel what people are feeling. It's sort of like reading people auras, and sort of like having a bond. Instead of seeing colours and interpreting them, if I want I can 'open my heart and mind' as Yeva says, and actually feel what they are feeling.
On top of this, animals don't hate me like they do usual Dhampirs. In fact, they love me as much as they do Lissa, Oksana and Sophia. Let's just say, the sensing of emotions does not stop at humans/vampires.

But enough of the heebie-jeebie stuff for now.
In Russia, I hang out with my cousins Zoya and Alicia and their friends, who I get along with really well. There is one person who I get along with better than anyone else- Aleksandr.
Yes, he is the aforementioned guy that is causing me the problems in life, love and all that shiz.

Aleks is 16, with chin-length medium brown hair (which seems to be normal for guys in Baia), is 6"2, and has dark blue eyes.
I've been in love with him for as long as I can remember- literally, I don't remember any point when I suddenly realised 'I'm in love with you.'
It happened somewhere between meeting him for the first time, aged 9, to 'going out' for a couple of weeks, aged 11, to the last few years.
It started off as a friendship, grew into a crush, and from there into something more. For me, at least.

Back to that later.
You remember what I said, about getting my mom's looks?
Well, a couple years ago, this began to become a problem.
From the age of about 13, I started getting attention from guys. Lots of them. But this is where I differ from my mom.

These boys had probably heard the stories of my mom at school, before she met my dad. They probably expected me to be the same.
But unlike my mom, I already had my eye on someone, and one only. So this led to a load of, mostly Moroi, guys following me around like (angry) lost puppies, asking me why I wouldn't give them a shot.
So I told them that I already had a boyfriend, in Russia, who I loved, so they didn't stand a chance. Some backed off, most didn't. Some believed me but didn't care, others thought I was talking bull.

It was a half-truth. I did have someone in Russia whom I loved, he just didn't feel the same way about me. I warned these guys that if they didn't back off, they'd have one pissed off Russian on their asses. When they didn't listen, I changed that to 2- my dad. And my mom for the hell of it. Then I threatened them personally. When that didn't work, I punched them.
What can I say? I am a Hathaway.

Review please :)
