Hi everyone! This is the sequel to my story: Out of Time, so before you scroll down and read, please read that first!

Summary:

It has been over 17 years since Rose and Dimitri have been strigoi. They are now dhampir once again and have two children-Anna and Eli Belikov. Anna is the top novice at 's, just like her brother and mother. She has her father's deep eyes, her mothers charm and breath-taking beauty, and Rose's attitude. She has the strigoi strength and speed, but no fangs, which make her almost unbeatable in a fight , in a major fight for her grade in her senior year, she is defeated and ends up in the infirmary for a while. When she gets out, she is assigned a mentor. Like her mother Rose, she falls in love with him. Will Anna go through what her mom did? Will she be able to handle it?

Chapter 1: Seventeen years later…

"Mom! I'm home." I heard Eli call from the front door. I was in the kitchen making lunch for my two boys. Dimitri was at work at the royal court. He's now Lissa's only guardian since I decided to drop out and raise my kids instead.

Eli came into the kitchen and sat on the table with his feet up. His dark hair that now reaches his eyes and nearly covers his neck is thrown back while he stared at the ceiling with his hands under his head.

"Take your feet of the table." I scolded. He listened and took his feet off the table. I tsked. I took my seat next to him and ate my sandwich.

I gave him his sandwich. "Thanks." He mumbled and ate his sandwich.

I shook my head. I swear. I've raised him for eighteen years, and he still can't keep his feet off the table.

Dimitri walked in and looked a little tired. His long brown hair was tied into a tight ponytail at the nape of his neck and he looked a little pale despite his tan features. He walked over to me and kissed my lips.

"Hi." we greeted each other. Eli rolled his eyes.

"What's with you?" Dimitri asked and took his seat that faced across from Eli and I.

Eli sighed. "You and mom are always kissing in front of me," He rolled his eyes. "it's weird."

I laughed. "Eli, one of these days, when you have kids, they will be like you."

He scoffed. "I'm not having kids." he said. "I'm to busy guarding Lady Dragomir anyway."

Dimitri rolled his eyes. "Well, I don't think that Sarah would have mind if you have kids, since you like each other." Eli blushed. Sarah is Lissa and Christian's daughter. Lissa got pregnant again and had Sarah before she turned twenty, so she's about a year or less younger than Eli. She attended school with Anna at 's and like me and Lis, their best friends.

"Oh come on Dad," Eli said still blushing. "She's pretty, and well built for a moroi, but, dad she's like a sister to me."

Dimitri smirked and slowly shook his head.

Lunch finished and Eli said that he had to go back to work. We said bye and he left.

That left me and Dimitri alone. Dimitri took my hand in his on top the table and used his thumb to rub little circles.

He had a distressed look and his lips were in a tight line. We stayed silent for awhile.

"What's wrong?" I asked breaking the silence.

He didn't answer.

"Dimitri?" I pressed. He jerked his head up and kissed me on the lips.

He pulled away and answered. "You know I love you, Eli, and Anna with all my heart right?" I nodded. "Rose, I went to the doctor after work." My brow furrowed. This is not good. Dimitri along with other dhampir, don't get sick, not usually.

"What happened?" I asked.

He took a deep breath. "They found something."

I sat through pre-calculus and sighed. Numbers are boring, I could be training for all I cared. Not that I don't like training, but, I needed way more than I needed to know how divide and multiply, but then again, that can come in handy.

Class ended and so did the school day. Curfew isn't for another few hours, so I decided to hang out with Sarah and watch a movie or something.

I walked up to the first moroi girls dorm. Note that I said first. Ever since Mom and Aunt Lissa found out how to change a strigoi back to normal, thanks to Uncle Adrian and Dad, we were able to recover most of our people and our wards aren't too strong anymore, since we made a peace treaty with ruby red eye strigoi and blood eyed strigoi. Mom and Dad were once strigoi, and the good strigoi like them, decided to return to society with us, and when Aunt Lissa became queen, the treaty was born, but it didn't include pure red eyes.

Pure red eyed strigoi are maybe the most powerful. They're the ones who started the whole war in the first place, and when the strigoi left them, they're numbers went down, while ours went back up.

Anyway, one way to turn back to normal is to kill a pure red and wait for a explosion that can turn you back, or, you get staked in the heart with a red stake.

A red stake is a tool that is only filled with spirit. It is a silver stake that is filled with spirit and is used only when to turn a strigoi back to moroi, dhampir, and even human.

But we only use these when a strigoi decides to change back.

Other than that, we keep them in a secret place that only Lissa and Adrian know.

"Hey Sarah." I greeted the blonde girl who kneeled down near the DVD player.

She looked up with her ice blue eyes and smiled. "Hey Anna," he looked at the silver watch on her wrist. "You're late." She frowned.

I shrugged. "You know me already."

"Who doesn't?" She said sarcastically. We laughed and watched Twilight together on the couch.

People say that she looks as much like her mother as I do mine, but she got her Dad's attitude, while I have my mom's. But unlike our parents, we don't constantly fight when we see each other.

Edward was just about to jump out of his bedroom window with Bella on his back when my cell phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered. There was sobbing in the back round. I checked my caller ID which read home.

"Anna?" It was a woman's voice. Mom, in other words, Rose Hathaway, my school's former badass, that is until me.

"Mom?"

She sobbed a little more. "You have to come home, now!"

What? "Mom, what's wrong?"

She sniffled. "Your father has been…diagnosed with cancer."

I dropped on my phone on the ground.

Okay, I know not a happy beginning, but it gets better.
