Hey guys, new story. AU with lots of secrets and lies and plot twists when you expect the least... No spoilers, sorry. Wouldn't want to destroy the surprise now, would we?

There will be some references to both Vampires Academy by Richelle Mead and The Blue Bloods Series by Melissa de la Cruz which I fell in love with... I highly recomand you to read those series. I'm grateful to those authors for giving me inspiration.

Well, enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing cause if I have had we would have seen many Razaya kisses.


People fear life. They're afraid to live, to truly live. But they also fear death. Everybody does. For them, death means the end of everything they have ever known, their own end. From the very beginning, we are taught how death comes over us, claiming our souls and how we are sent to Hell or to Heaven, depending on our style of life, on all the sins we've made, on all of our mistakes. And yet... there is something deeper to it than what most of people see. Death is not like that. Not for me anyway. People close to me - family, friends - have met their death, their 'end'. I have met death more than once, I have fought and won against it and I have brought it over many people. I have learned how important life is and how easily it can be taken away - as I nearly did to the person who had so easily won my heart...

But that's not the point. The point is, life is a precious gift, the most important of them all and it can be so easily taken away in one moment... in one swift event that takes place before you can even blink. It all happens so fast, in a heartbeat, everything so quick that you don't even realize what's happening and when you finally do it's too late. And nothing can change that... nothing could ever reverse what happened.

Well, or so it's believed. But for me... things were different. Everything happened fast, indeed, but I eventually sorted it all out - but not without a lot of hard work and headaches - and somehow I managed to undo some things. Not all, even though I so badly wished I could, but some. And it's better than nothing... right? For so long I have feared for others, that I could not do my job, that one day I would helplessly watch everything I cared for being destroyed. And, of course, it happened. We never get away from what we fear, do we?

Sigh. There are so many things everybody fears. Life being the first one of them. But I can not exactly talk, can I? Because all my life I feared living. I was afraid to truly enjoy the moment simply because I was taught that relaxing, letting my guard down even for a little bit was wrong. As part of my training I was taught to always be on my guard, always scrutinizing, always on look-out. But things changed one day... Nothing was the same after an event that changed my whole life, my whole existence. It was the day when I met... the one who changed everything, who changed me and who turned my whole life upside down. From the day when we - I - met him, everything changed, myself included. I became less... inhibited. I allowed myself to let my feelings free more often. And that's how I actually started falling in love with him. And I'm not afraid to admit it. Because those feelings helped me learn my true origins, my inheritance and understand things from my past that I had never been aware of... also helped me discover my powers, my true potential. He was the one who helped me see all those things. While it's true that I had always known that there was something more to me than everybody else thought, I would have never even imagined what the truth was. Maybe I would have still found out about it but in another way, probably through force.

For almost seventeen years, I have been kept in the dark about my inheritance, about who I really was and what I could do. I have been told I was just a dhampir whose sole purpose was to protect the vampires. I had never known my true family. For so long I had been told that my mother died when giving birth to me - which I later learned that was indeed true - but as it turned out she was not a dhampir as everybody kept telling me. She was a vampire, and a really powerful one for that matter. As for my father... I had also been kept in the dark about him. All I had known is that he was a vampire who had seduced my mother and gotten her pregnant with me and then just left. But as it turned out... that was not the truth. Not entirely. He had wanted me. He hadn't left me - us - in purpose. He hadn't left at all, actually. But I did. And it was not my choice. I was taken away from him, hidden among other people like me and raised like a dhampir. Like a protector. My sole purpose in life was clear: protect the vampires from any threat, fight for them, give your life for them. But I was too young to understand what was happening so I had no idea that everything I had been told my whole life was a lie. A big lie. My powers started manifesting at an early age so I had to be held under close surveillance. My vampiric powers were kept under control with a spell. And it was a mere trick: a charmed silver pendant that had supposedly belonged to my mother. And of course, for someone who had never met her mother and who wanted to gain as much knowledge from her family as possible, I simply accepted it.

And it took me seventeen years to learn the damned truth! Seventeen years to learn who I was, what I was capable of!

Everything started off with this weird dreams, visions of what had been and what was yet to happen that started haunted me at night. I tried ignoring them at first but they just kept appearing. And then... weird flashbacks, images of deep, glowing yellow eyes that were staring down at me like I was the most precious thing in the whole world for their possessors. And as it turned out... I was. And then... my powers began manifesting. It was in small leaps at the beginning, like a leak in a pipe. I could feel them. They were right there, waiting for me to reach to them, to access them and when I did... when I finally accepted who I was, what my inheritage and destiny was... I can say that that's the moment when the hell broke loose. Literally.


So, this is the prologue. I guess it's obvious who the main characters is, huh?

I hope you like it. I'll try to update this as often as I can with school and homeworks and all that...
