Secret Lies

Samantha woke up as soon as her alarm clock fired up and yawned, rubbing the sleep of her eyes she got up and grabbed her towel before walking to her en-suite bathroom, placing her towel on the hanger, Samantha pulled her hair into a bun and stripped off her pj's, getting into the shower, sighing in content as the luke warm water hit her relaxing her tense muscles.

After washing her body the medium height brunette got out of the shower and wrapped her fluffy towel around her body and walked back to her bedroom, drying her body on the way, she then got dressed on her undergarments, a white blouse, a pair of black tights, her black skirt and the school's emblem blazer and put her flats on. 

She grabbed her school bag on the way to the door and walked out, a tired sigh escaping her lips. She walked to the canteen and grabbed an apple and a cup of coffee smiling at the canteen ladies. When she walked out she looked around filching slightly as the sun hit her exposed neck and face, a faint stinging feeling running under her skin.

Making her way to her class, Samantha felt someone creep up behind her and turned around, quickly punching the person full on the nose, the person who happened to be a Guardian named Spiridion. Upon contact with Samantha's fist, Spiridion fell back with a thund unconscious, quickly raising her hands as she saw other people close up on her Samantha looked at the man on the ground sadly.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt him, he simply came up behind me and...." she started but an elderly woman stopped her "It's alright Hathaway get back to your dorm." frowning Samantha looked at the woman, "I'm not Hathaway..." she said as her counselor called from the door "Kollstone come on we don't have all day."

Alberta Petrov looked at the girl she had mistaken for the deceased novice Rosemarie Hathaway shocked, she actually though that she had seen a ghost when she set her eyes on the girl. Watching as the 16 year old made her way to the human counselor Alberta and the other guardians were shocked. "Was that the girl?" Dimitri Belikov, the new Guardian that had been assigned to Princess Vasilisa Sabina Rhea Dragomir, asks his colleagues only to receive nods in return. "She looks like the novice that died along with Lissa's family. But at the same time she doesn't. Keep an eyes out for her all of you, I shall inform the headmistress." Alberta said as she walked away to her position.

Dimitri walked back to the Moroi dorms where he met up with the other Guardian on duty, Mark Stevenson, "Good morning." they said before Mark asked "What happened I heard commotion but seeing you were here I couldn't leave." "A human transfer student punched Spiridion in the nose and he fell back unconscious." Dimitri told him, the newly made Guardian nodded and said "She must have one heck of a punch to take down Spiridion. Do you know who she is?" 

"Petrov called her Hathaway, like the late novice and she said she wasn't Hathaway, then the human counselor called her Kollstone." Dimitri said, his Russian accent flowing easily, no matter how many years he had spent in America. "Ahh Samantha Lillian Kollstone. I met her fell from my chair hitting my head in the process because I thought I had seen a ghost too." Mark confessed with a light laugh, that Dimitri didn't return.

The day went by quickly for Samantha who unlike her class mates had taken notes about the subjects she had had and about the school locations. Walking back to her shared dorm the brunette girl could feel the heat of the descending sun hit her back warming her up. Once inside her dorm she came face to face with a recently awake Natalie "Hey..." She said quietly trying to disturb the hazy teen in front of her. "He... Hey..." Natalie yawned collapsing on the couch her eye lids closing again. 

Giggling slightly at dorm mate as she made her way to her room Samantha quickly changed into her P.E. outfit that consisted on a grey crop top and a pair of black leggings, she pulled her hair into a neat pony tale as she put her shoes. Walking back to the living room Samantha started "Hey Nat I'm heading to the gym but I can drop you off if you want." but when she turned around she jumped slightly as she saw a man sitting next to a now uniform dressed Natalie.

"You must be Lillian, Natalie's room mate." Natalie's father, Victor Dashkov, said smiling at the startled girl. "Sam this is my father Victor Dashkov." Natalie said beaming, nodding slight Samantha raised her hand in a welcoming manner and smiled slightly still shocked that in the very little time that she had taken the man had gotten in. "Well I do not wish to take anymore of your time. Have a nice day Natalie, Lillian." Victor said as he walked out of the door.

"I'm headed out want me to take you to class?" Samantha offered as if nothing had happened  making Natalie beam, she absolutely loved the idea of having a new friend, even though she didn't know that she was surrounded by Moroi and Dhampir's and in a completely different world. "Yes I would love that." the geeky vampire said grabbing her bag and linked her arm with her friend.

The two laughed as they shared stories about when they were younger until they reached Natalie's first class. "Here comes Miss geeky nerdy Dashkov..." a boy taunted making the young Dashkov look down ashamed, angered the sporty dressed brunette walked up to the boy's face and stood there a scowl replacing her usual sweet smile. "What did you just call her?" she asked her tone lowering to a scary one making the boy jump back surprised. "No...nothing..." he stuttered, no one had ever seen Jesse Zecklos afraid of anyone beside's Strigoi especially not a human.

"Good, I hope I don't hear you or anyone insult my best friend again." Samantha said her tone not changing one bit, as a challenging look filled her eyes completely while she looked at anyone daring them to say something offensive. Natalie was beet red by the time Samantha returned to her, hugging her tight Samantha walked out of the corridor and ran to the training area where she saw the local student training and her class mates playing rugby.
