Chapter One.
I stood in the warm summer california breeze. Since i had just finished high school, I was celebrating the last few months before college with my best friends, Leonie, Mary, Jianne, Jess and Tash. We where having an amazing time in Cali, not doing much harm. It was around 7pm, and I knew the others would be waking up soon, so I decided to make them breakfast. You see, we're not normal teenage girls. Some of us are Dhampirs, or half vampires. These where Mary, Jess and Tash. While me, Leonie and Jianne are Moroi, full vampires. The dhampirs were our guardians, protecting us from the evil undead vampires, Strigoi. We hadn't just graduated from any high school, but St. Vladmir's in Montana. I sighed. St. Vlad's final months where the worst ever. I'd gotten dumped by my boyfriend of two years, Harry. I don't want to think about him right now, or ever again, as he's Strigoi now. But, I know now not to hold onto the past. I jumped as the door opened.
"Shit Tash, do you fucking mind?" I shrieked.
"Sorry babe," she sniggered, "Thinking about Harry again?"
"As always," I smiled meekly.
"Look babe, it wasn't your fault. I'm sure eventhough he's Strigoi now, he still loves you. Maybe we can do what queen Dragomir did and use Leonie's Spirit to bring him back."
"Tash, don't you mean my mom?"
"I'm a guardian now, I have to call her queen."
I smiled "I gave him my love for two years, I thought he loved me.. why are boys so confusing?"
She shrugged, "It's in their job description."
"They should get a new job."
Tash hugged me and went to wake the others up so we could hit the clubs. I was staying at my dads' aunt's summer house. he usually didn't let me know about her since she was executed a couple of months after I was born, but I suppose who would want to talk about a traitor. I went to the feeder's room and drank to my hearts content. I had a busy night ahead of me. When I got back to the main building, everyone was laughing and joking. My girls, what would I do without them? I ran towards Leonie to tell her Tash's idea. She knew abit about staking Strigoi's.. Oh I almost forgot, all Moroi get their own elements, fire, water, earth, air or spirit. I'd got fire, Jianne had got air and Leonie had spirit. The only way to kill Strigoi was to stake them with a silver stake charmed in all the elements except Spirit. When you staked them with all five, you brought them back to their original form, Moroi, Dhampir or even human. My mom had done this for her Guardian Rose's lover/teacher Dimitri, who by the way is fucking gorgeous.
"Ok, I'll do it," agreed Leonie.
I grinned, "I fucking love you, do you know that?"
"Yes I Do," she said, hugging me.
We glided back into the kitchen where the other where still laughing.
"You guys ready for some fun tonight?"
"Hell yes!" they shrieked, bursting into giggles. we sat and talked for fifteen minutes before heading upstairs to get changed. I chose my favourite black dress, put on a thin layer of makeup and headed downstairs. I texted Tash, telling her i was going to the ATM, because I was running low on cash, I put on my shoes and went. I loved the California weather, always warm, day or night, way better then Montana. I stood for a couple of minutes thinking to myself and enjoying it while I could. I scurried down to the ATM, took out $30 and turned to see him standing there, his gorgeous red ringed eyes blazing through mine.. and he wasn't alone.
