Richelle Mead Vampire Academy Series Novels & Stories

This would not be the last tragedy in her long life, after all. Not by a long shot. “Vampire hunters,” I told her simply, not wanting to dull my explanation with fancy words. “Seriously?” She asked, her surprise making her look far younger than her eighteen years. “Fraid so,” James said. “Like Van Helsing?” Maddie asked. “Yes. “I said. “Like him.” “He was a real person, you know.” Shirley offered the flickering candlelight making her look wise even though she wore a face as young as the rest of us. We had all been eighteen at inception, after all.

I passed the blood in her mouth and waited for her to wake. I ended up sleeping with her in my arms. In the morning I watched her sleeping form. I am reminded of the day we first met. She starts moving in my arms. I look at her as she opened her eyes. They were of the same brown colour as before. I am glad she remained the same Lara I have got used to only that she is now a vampire and she ages slowly compared to before. "Hey did you do it?" She asks as she looked into my eyes. Do what... What does she mean?

Raghav switched off the laptop and closed it. Meenakshi, "He went to meet Anvi and Vanshika again." Raghav "Meenakshi, I've read a thing, I don't know if it's true or not." Meenakshi "What?" Raghav, "If a vampire turns a hunter into a vampire, then that vampire dies within thirty days. That vampire can be saved if only he or she gets back their human life." Meenakshi "So you mean.... "

Maelik said. “I know.” “That alone is enough to make half the Dominion think the academy is on fire.” “It nearly was.” Maelik’s gaze slid toward him. “I heard.” Of course, he had. Nothing truly stayed contained at Blood Oath Academy, least of all a summoning gone wrong in the central ritual chamber. Theron kept his eyes on the grounds below. “Then you know I had other priorities.” Maelik was silent for a moment. Then, “The girl.” not a question. Theron’s jaw tightened. “Her name is Virelle.”

I tell her, starting off slowly. She raised her brows at me, wiping away the remaining tears that fell onto her cheeks. “What is it?” She asked; I could hear the nervousness in her voice. “Have you been taught anything about the prophets of the Moon Goddess?” I asked. I know prophecy and witches are something that is taught in the Vampire Academy because both could be gifts and abilities that a vampire obtains. But I also don’t know if Ruby would learn about something like that during her first year. She shook her head.

"That is Beulah. She is our ancestor. She has been the only human to rebel against vampires in history. You are her blood; that's why you were chosen." Everything was not making sense yet to me. "So, what are you suggesting?" "Lord Ralph is the ruler of the vampires and the most brutal vampire in history. Here, take this book." He slid a book towards me. "Beulah researched enough about vampires. She wrote down everything she found out. Their weaknesses, their strengths, everything you need to know about them." "Are you saying I will have to go to this Lord Ralph's castle in the capital and start fighting him or what?"

The very first time I laid my eyes on him, I never thought I would end up loving someone like him. But everything changed when I met Alec. The chief of vampire council and my mate. My hands were on fists when I woke. I felt like there was something in me that was making me tremble. The images in my head are too clear, I couldn't think of any logical reason for what is happening to me. What did I see? Why did I dream about those events? And it's worth mentioning that it felt so real, that I was really there when all those things happened.

After Jasmine, Dorian, and I had breakfast, I headed down to the conference area. There was a big meeting with all of the supernaturals, where we discussed whose realm would be created next. Once that was finished, Coco came by my office. As the headmistress of the Academy, she was in charge of everything, but she asked that I speak with one of my vampires, a young worker vampire who changed just before I defeated Sharra. The council, which included Professor Pops, Heathcliff, Cindy, Coco, and I, agreed to let Valencia attend the Seven Magics Academy.

As for me, I remained silent, not understanding anything that was happening. I leaned slightly closer to Julia and said quietly: “What does that mean?” Julia looked at me in surprise and said: “Are you really a vampire and don’t know this?” Then she added: “How were you even accepted into the academy in the first place?” I felt embarrassed at that moment and didn’t find anything to say. I stayed silent and looked forward again. After the class ended, I headed with Maya to the cafeteria. The place was crowded as usual, and the students were sitting in different groups. We sat at a table near the window. I was talking with Maya about the lessons when a movement at the entrance caught my attent

I wrinkled my nose then turned my attention back to the tv screen in front of me, although my brain was still thinking about Alex's words. Iris violets. Lycan. The first lineage of werewolves. Everything sounds crazy. 'Maybe I'm wrong." Alex exhaled and opened his eyes again, He looked at me with a half smile. "You are wrong Alex." I gave him a small nod then returned to staring blankly at the tv. ***
