Imagine you are running and hiding. Running from the truth, hiding from your own blood. Running and hiding just to feel normal. Though it is futile to run and hide from life. When your father is a cruel, emotionless, ruthless monster that wants to use your powers for gain of power and strength. What do you do.
If your life depends on it, where you are in a fight of flight situation.
What do you do?
**
Burney Ozera is not your everyday teenager, that is just like her father. Though she is much better. She and her friends finally escape the hell of the caves, to find protection. However, it comes at a price. When they seek help and refuge on enemy territory. When they seek the vampire academy, that helps them. It doesn't last long however. Strigoi are dangerous among moroi, them being offspring of strigoi, what will happen to both races when they coexist. Things won't be all suns and roses. They all live a dangerous life. Especially for Burney.
WARNING:
I wrote this at least a year ago, so there will be lots of bad grammar, misspelt words and such. Which I AM aware of. Some are also intentional. So don't judge my book, and if you notice mistakes, point them out nicely. And I am only going through the mistakes when I have time, which at the moment, I don't. Just take the story as you find it. That's all I'm asking. Maybe comment and vote, if you like it. And the pace of the story is pretty fast, which is because I don't want it to be too long. So, I hope you enjoy.
CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT. Set in the Vampire Academy Moroi/dhampir world. Alternate ending.
What if the Mână never tried to claim Lissa? The cabin would never happen, but Rose might have heard from Mason about the Strigoi attack sooner. No Strigoi Dimitri. Tatiana lives. Romitri happy ending.
Told from Rose's POV (mostly).
We won't get into the Mature content rating for at least the first few chapters, but I am hoping to have a nice suitable replacement for the cabin scene eventually.
Bear with me for the first two chapters where there is a lot of similarities to Richelle Mead's original plot. It will be diverging slowly to something completely different.

"Why don't you let me be the judge of what I need, Dimitri? Because right now, all I need is you."
Dimitri gripped my upper arms and looked into my eyes. It was clear that he was searching my face for something, but I couldn't tell what. Everything in me wanted nothing more than for him to just kiss me at that moment.
Until that moment, I hadn't truly considered the downright carnal possibilities that existed by us being alone together in his apartment, despite the fact that he was standing in front of me practically naked in nothing but a towel. And now, my fingers itched to remove that towel - and I desperately wanted him to remove my clothes, too.
He continued looking at me and I saw the warmth go out of his eyes. "There's a difference between a need and a want," he said, "You're just learning what you truly need out of life. I can't be the one to provide you with those things."
