I was on a medieval castle with a guy who I didn't know. He was at about my height,thin and had sparkling blue eyes and black,short spiky hair. He was wearing a black tobok (a Tae kwon do uniform) with a blue stripe that had the St. valdimir's Academy logo printed on it so I supposed that he was a Moroi using Water. I was standing above him in defence stance ; i was wearing a black tobok with the logo on it too but mine instead of a blue stripe had a grey one. We were both looking at a dark path waiting for something when someone passed next to us so rapidly that even my dhampir eye couldn't catch. Suddenly he showed himself,he was looking familiar but I couldn't remember who he was. I observed him; his eyes were dark red and his chin was chalky white and he had a red ring around his pupils. He reached us and kicked me on the chest with so much power that i fall on the wall and it collapsed,then I woke up.
I saw that the time was 4 am and I tried to calm down,I was seeing this nightmare for over a month and I deeply knew that this nightmare would come true for me one day. I stood up and opened the window of my room; fresh air hitted me and it was delightful. What was expecting me in my life?What I was going to do?? I was watching outside the window for about five minutes when someone came behind me and closed my eyes with his hands .I acted spontaneously,I twisted his right arm and put my hand on his neck; that's when I saw him ''What are you doing here?'' I whispered ''Chillax bro I was just having fun'' he replied and headed to the exit of my room ''In 4 am? I shouted but he had already left. My brother was too immature irrespectively of his age,he was to turn 20 in four days and he was studying Bussiness administration in college. He was very tall at about 1,90 cm and had brown hair with a few blonde strands. In contrast i was 1,70 cm and had coal black hair. I lied to my bed and i fall asleep immediately.
The next morning wasn't what you could describe as an ''ideal'' one. It all started when my mum rushed into my room screaming ''You have to get up now'' I turned my head and saw that it was 10 am '' Is it necessary?'' I yawned mu mum opened the curtains and said ''Yes it is'' . Bright sunlight spreaded in my room and I immediately got a minor headache. Sun didn't affect that much Dhampirs but i didn't know what was different with me. Sunlight could make me feel dizzy but with the past of time I had been used to it. Dhampirs and Moroi could walk in daylight in contrast to Strigoi who couldn't; the more you exposed yourself in sun and the older you got could eliminate the dizziness on the verge that you wouldn't feel anything, I was still practising though. I stood up and wore a sleevless shirt,I left my room and went downstairs in the kitchen.
Everyone was there,my mum was preparing breakfast and my brother was watching The Vampire Diaries on TV. I saw a letter with my name on it; it had St.Vladimir's logo.I opened it and I read out loudly ''Mr Iliadis you turned 16 a month ago and we have been observing you for over a year. You are what we say ''the ideal Dhampir'' and you will come here in St.Vladimir's Academy to be a novice guardian. When you graduate you will be a guardian for a Moroi. We expect you to come here this Monday, your flight takes off in 2 pm. Have a nice flight headmistress Ellen Kirova. ''COOL'' my brother screamed ''You're gonna be a guardian I envy you bro'' he was mocking me,it was obvious from the way he was telling these words so I prefered to say nothing. My mum served me breakfast ''What the fuck!Mum what's this?'' iI said ''It is broccoli sweety you should get all the vitamins you can because the Academy's program is harsh. Oh i forgot to tell you that we will go shop the necessary items that you need for the Academy.'' After finishing her words I ran to the refrigerator and saw the list with the needed items I started reading ''Dhampir uniform,2 practise stakes,2 silver stakes,Advanced guardian combat techniques book,Moroi Culture book and a Silver pocket knife'' . I ran to my room and changed outift, i wore blue shorts,a shirt with black and grey stripes and my black converse. I left the house and saw my mum on her car waiting for me
''So'' I said and clapped my hands ''Were are we going?'' ''To uncle Zanto's of course'' she replied. Uncle Zantos was a Dhampir just like me but he hadn't had the standards to qualify and be a guardian. In contrast to the common Dhampirs who are slim,fast and strong he was very slow,he had much more weight that he should have and he wasn't so strong. So instead of being a guardian he had opened a store for Dhampirs and Moroi the only one of this type in Greece. The drive to this shop was nice cause it was in the centre of Athens and i loved to see this fabulous city where ancient was combined with modern. We arrived at his shop and my mum hugged him ''Hellen,Tyler it's so nice to see you'' he almost sung it and then he hugged me too. I hugged him back and then I gave him my list ''can you help us?'' i asked and a huge smile was created in my face ''Of course i can'' he answered.
