My parents decided to go to Cabo San Lucas for spring break. It landed during my fifteenth birthday so it would double as a birthday retreat as well.

So here we were Angela, Silas and Katrina Easton getting off the Easton Jet. I was lagging with my best friend since I was seven Hayes Eldridge.

It had been extremely overcast in New York but not here. It was hot and extremely sunny.

“Oh, come on Lynnie. It is a vacation!” Hayes said with his southern accent.

“Maybe for you, but the Easton’s are trying to purchase the resort, so all business for them.” I said rolling my eyes trying to get my bag out of the overhead compartment.

“Let me” he said reaching up and letting our hands brush for a second making the spot feel warm.

“Thanks” I said smiling.

“So, in this scenario you aren’t an Easton? He asked as he took my bag and his own.

Nope, Daddy says I am not until my first kill” I said walking carefully down the stairs and going to meet the others.

“Oh, right” Hayes nodded.

He had his first kill already this past December. His father brought him a present that he couldn’t resist. He was quiet when he came back to St. Andrews. It took me days to pry it out of him.

Not me though, I had already started vampire puberty as my parents and sister would tell me. I would get times when my throat burned, and I would see red. I did not want to kill anyone though, so I ignore it.

“There you two are” my dad said giving me a hug even though he had seen me not two minutes ago.

“Thank you, Silas, for letting me come. Cabo beats the outer banks where my family goes” Hayes said smiling.

“Not a problem at all. You are part of the family, my boy” my dad said getting in the car.

“Wouldn’t that be incest dear sister?” Katrina whispered in my ear.

I was the only one that heard her. She liked it that way. She knew Hayes and I were just friends even though I wanted more.

We all got into the limo, and I looked out the window.

“Alright listen up Lynnie. Today is the ninetieth. We have the rest of the day to check in to the resort then you and Hayes can fend for yourselves tomorrow, but Saturday we are hosting a banquet at the resort to announce the merger as well as celebrate your birthday” my mother said in her stern voice.

I just nodded thinking even my birthday was second rate.

After we had checked into the resort, we all ate dinner then Katrina disappeared as per usual. Hayes and I played connect four until we were both too tired. He was too tired to go to his room, so he slept in mine. It wasn’t unusual. We had grown up together, but now since I had developed feelings it was difficult to concentrate

After tossing and turning I got up to get water.

“Hey you, okay? Hayes asked groggily.

“Yea just… “I stopped mid-sentence because I didn’t know what to tell him.

He got up and came over to me “Is it your throat again?” He asked assuming it was my blood lust and not just lust.

“I just looked at him trying to smile.

He hugged me “You can’t hold out forever”

“I can try” I said muffled through his chest.

The next day we went to Playa El Médano the main beach in Cabo. It was nice to just relax. I buried Hayes in the sand, then we splashed in the ocean. It was like old times.

We ate lunch then went back to the resort to take showers. We had decided to go to a bar that was loose on ID’s.

I got dressed in a mini dress and sky-high boots, I put on make up that made me look like Katrina’s age.

“Wow” Hayes said as he walked out of his hotel room.

I looked at him and his sandy blonde hair was still damp from the shower, but he was dressed nice in a blue shirt and jeans. He made jeans look classically cool.

He extended his arm, and I took it. “You look nice too by the way” I said as we got in the elevator.

“I always do” He said smirking.

“Cocky” I said playfully hitting him on the shoulder.

“Ow” he teased.

We had no problems getting served at the bar. I saw Katrina in the corner with a few guys. She waved and I turned away.

After the second shot nothing could hurt me. “Lets dance!” I said to Hayes.

“Yes Ma’am” he said taking my hand and leading to the dance floor.

In the distance I felt eyes watching me. I wrapped my hands on Hayes neck and swayed to the music. We were looking intently at each other. I would move and he would counter my movements perfectly.

“Hey baby can I cut in?” the eyes finally had a face. He was tall and had to be at least eighteen. He wasn’t Hayes cute, however he was attractive.

“I’m with someone” I mumbled.

Hayes tightened his grip on me instinctively.

“I can do more than him” He said confident.

Just then the breeze from the open door gave me a whiff of his scent. God, he smelled delicious. I looked at him and his neck was exposed, and I saw the vein pulsating.

I saw red. I could not think of anything but his blood coursing through my veins.

“Lynnie keep control” Hayes almost growled in my ear.

I let his hand go and silently took the stranger’s hand out of the club into the back alleyway.

I heard Hayes call after me begging for me to come back but blood was on my mind. I could feed like my parents then spell him to forget.

One sip, a simple taste.

“Yea baby! Let’s party” He said.

I pushed him against the wall. He kissed me hard on the mouth. It tasted like booze and sweat. I kept my eyes on his neck.

The burn in my throat was intense now because I was so close to human blood. It knew somehow.

I pulled away from his mouth and he pulled my body closer. I again smelled the sweet aroma of his blood. My vision was blurred now.

I felt a rain drop as well. My affinity was weather. I hadn’t harnessed it yet, but a seer had said that’s what my affinity was.

It began to pour when I pulled my face away and then it happened all at once. My fangs appeared but he wasn’t paying attention

Just a taste Lynnie

I reared my head back and sank my teeth into his neck, right at the vein. At first it was slow. The pressure barely pierced his skin. Then the sweet crimson began to flow from him to me. It made my entire body relax. The burn was gone but the thirst I felt was no match for his screams. I sank my teeth in more and drained every drop of his life. He fell in a puddle of the storm I had created.

I looked at the man and tried to get his attention.

He could not be dead.

One taste, right?

I looked at myself and the front of my dress was drenched in his blood, my mouth I quickly wiped the remanences of blood smears and felt hot tears in my eyes.

I had to get out of here, but I felt paralyzed in the rain.

“She’s here” came a familiar voice.

Hayes came to me wrapping me with his strong arms and Katrina was behind him already on her phone.

“We need to go” Hayes said “Lynnie can you move?”

I nodded and we ran to the other side of the street then the car came, and we got inside.

Katrina got in behind us and told the driver to go fast to the resort.

We rode in silence. I had began shaking and Hayes kept me close. Katrina took my hand as we stopped. My parents were inside waiting for us.

“Lynnie, you are all right. You are safe now” my dad said hugging me tightly.

We then went to my parents’ suite and after the door was bolted shut, my mother spoke.

Emberlynn, you did nothing wrong, you hear me?” she said firmly

“I killed him” I said quietly. “What are we going to go?” I asked looking up at my parents and sister.

“We have a clean up crew already dumping the body where no one can find him.”

Hayes sat down next to me.” It’s alright Lynnie”

“I killed him” I said leaning on his shoulder.

“You are a legacy vampire. You completed your birth right. You had your first kill. Now let us celebrate!” my father said beaming at me.

August- September 1

After that night we saw Shepard things had been tense between Hayes and me. Our families were still staying in the same house sheltering in place, so it was mostly me avoiding him.

Just to spite him, I had contacted Shephard and we had begun texting each other through August. I didn’t really like him like that, I had only ever liked one person like that in my life…

Shephard was everything Hayes was not. He told me how beautiful I was, he liked me in a way that was new and intriguing to me.

I had just told my sister about Shep, and she didn’t trust him. Which honestly made it that more exciting for me.

One day only a few days before we were leaving for St. Andrews I got a letter from Dean Konstantinov telling me I was moving rooms and getting a new roommate. He gave me the name of the girl then warned me that being at this school was a privilege, and I was still on his watch.

I rolled my eyes then looked more closely at the name of the new student I was to be rooming with. Apollinariya Vladimirovich. I knew that name for some reason. I just didn’t know how.

I heard Hayes walking to his room, which was next to mine. I walked out of my bedroom and forgot I was annoyed at him. I smiled and handed him the letter.

He looked confused as I was talking to him like old times, and relieved I was in a better mood.

“ Apollinariya Vladimirovich, I know that name, why do I know that name?” I asked him

“Because she is vampire royalty?” he asked smirking at me. “You are going to be rooming with a princess”

I connected the dots in my head then frowned “Another entitled vampire girl great!”

He laughed and nodded then looked at me” Hey Lynnie, long time no talk” he said softly.

“Hayes”

“I’m”

We said at the same time. I blushed a little and said to him to go ahead.

“I was just going to apologize. I know you weren’t siding with Shephard…I know you don’t like him. It was stupid.”

“Actually, we’ve been texting, and he isn’t bad Hayes” I said blushing again.

“Oh… well then…I’m still sorry for being a jerk to you” he said looking at the hardwood floor.

“I’m sorry for avoiding you for almost a month…can we be best friends again?” I asked hopefully.

“C’mere you” he said giving me a big hug.

#

The first of September we went back to St. Andrews. I was excited, but very nervous. I left this school in a mystery last spring. And I was getting a new roommate as well. She couldn’t be worse than the last one, could she?

My suitcases were already in my new bigger room. I began putting my decorations up when I heard a knock. I looked up and it was Shepherd Cabral holding bouquet of pink roses.

“Hey Peaches” he said holding out the roses.

“Come in Shepherd” I said giggling.

He sat the roses down and ran to me picking me up in a hug. He swung me around making me a little dizzy.

“New digs” He asked putting me down and looking at the space.

I nodded getting a vase for the flowers. Carnations were my favorites, but it was the thought that counted.

So, Mordella just disappeared?” He asked coming over to me and placing his arms around my waist.

“Yea” I said softly.

He nuzzled my neck” Do you know where she disappeared to?” he asked

“No, we don’t” Hayes voice came from the threshold.

I pulled away from Shephard’s advances and went to Hayes.

“Please come in Hayes” I said more welcoming I had with Shep.

Hayes stepped inside and Shep rolled his eyes giving him a wave.

“Lynnie I was just coming by to see if you needed help, but um…I didn’t know you had company.

“It’s okay” I said smiling taking his hand in mine leading him to my side of the room.

He smiled back, and Shep sighed “We need scheduled times to see you Peaches”

I laughed” Nah, we can all be friends “I said looking at both boys.

“Yea, why the hell not” Shephard said. “Let’s all go feed”

Hayes spoke up” Even though we are back at school…”

“Come on man!” Shep said taking us by the shoulder, him in the middle.

“It’ll be fine” I said more to myself than either of them.

We walked out of the room together.

#

It was indeed past curfew when we snuck into the magically gated yard. Shep and Hayes worked together with their affinities to get us inside. I was still giggling from the blood.

Shephard kissed me as he had been doing all night. This time I didn’t shy away, I was high from whatever was in my guy’s bloodstream.

Hayes looked away and said good night to both of us and went to the direction of his dorm. I said bye to my best friend a little too loudly.

“Shh” He whispered but chuckled anyway.

“I better go” I said trying to detangle myself from Shep’s grasp.

“I could come with you. Keep you safe” He whispered in my ear.

“Not yet” was all I said, and he nodded understanding.

I walked to my dorm and snuck past the guard and went up the stairs to my room. I expected it to be pitch black, not light coming through the door. My anxiety started to rise, and I heard a distant clap of thunder in the distance. I unlocked the door, and my pink and purple decorated room was overshadowed by the deep tones and luxury filled the air.

A girl my age was on the other bed and when she saw me she smiled softly. She was beautiful. Her eyes a long could stop traffic. She was stunning.

“You must be Emberlynn Easton” She said standing up walking over to shake my hand.

“Lynnie, I prefer Lynnie” I said shaking her hand attentively.

“And you are Apollinariya Vladimirovich vampire royalty” I said giggling

“I prefer Lina” she said as the the room fill with silence.

July 2020

There was a summer breeze in Greenwich this afternoon, which meant Hayes and I were outside in the park. He was playing basketball, while I was listening to the new Taylor Swift album folklore that had been released the day before.

It had been a quite summer so far with the pandemic hitting that spring. It was annoying but we honestly didn’t get affected by it, being legacy vampires of course. I kind of liked it to be honest. Life was simpler suddenly it was about family time and not so much about work for my parents. Katrina was home again, and being one of her only social interactions these days she was nice. Hayes was “one of us” so the Easton’s and Eldridge ‘s were sheltering in place together at our estate. Greta and Benjamin Eldridge were very nice, I didn’t mind them at all. Hayes was an only child, so Katrina and I were like his family as well, even though I thought of him as much more.

These day, we spend time outside. Hayes had decided he wanted to be a part of the security team after graduation. It was a long-time goal, but Hayes would train anyway. he could, and I would listen to music and watch him like now.

He had just won a game and sweating and the water bottle he was drinking from spilled down his already drenched shirt. He mumbled and decided to take it off. His abs glistening from the sun.

If heaven exist it would be listening to my favorite music and watching my favorite person. It was perfect.

“How’s the album?” He asked sitting down on the bench with me.

I smiled and took out one of my earbuds.” It is very good, want to listen? I asked offering him the earbud.

“This is me trying” came on and he listened paying attention to the lyrics like I always told him to.

“And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you” You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town

And I just wanted you to know That this is me trying”

Hayes nodded and he looked at me for a second and I felt butterflies flip in my stomach. He gave the bud back after a moment had passed.

“Come on play horse with me” he said getting up reaching for my hand.

“I am so bad at basketball Hayes! I whined but grabbed his hand anyway.

“I know, but it’s fun”

I sighed and he let me start. I decided to do a granny style shot, and it surprised me that I made it.”Woohoo”

Hayes chuckled and made the shot too. “I’m not going easy on you Lynnie” He laughed.

“You never do” I smirked as he made a three pointer. I frowned and tried to do exactly as he had done. The ball hit the rim and I got an “H”.

This went on for a little while. It was getting dark and we finished the game just as I got a text from Katrina telling us to come home. I sighed but texted back saying we were on the way.

We walked to the park that day. It was just a few blocks from the house. Hardly anyone was on the roads now. I was lost in my own head when Hayes pointed at an alley and held out his hand for me to be quiet.

The sounds were familiar for us. It was a woman struggling for life as it was drained from her veins.

A figure was over her taking her last breath into himself.

He heard us and turned around baring his fangs to us.

“Hayes? Emberlynn? he asked, letting the lifeless body drop to the ground.

“Shepherd Caetano… of course it’s you in an alleyway during a pandemic” Hayes said pointily

“None other” he said his teeth normal again.

“We are on strict orders from St. Andrews not to feed during the pandemic out in public” Hayes said hating Shep for an unknown reason to me.

“Does this look out in the open, plus its only a problem if it gets reported, and you two won’t report me” He said smiling walking toward us.

“Try us” Hayes moved Infront of me.

Shepherd was in our year. He was a Brazilian legacy and like Hayes very attractive. He, unlike Hayes, had a danger to him that both scared and enchanted me.

“Come on lets go” I said pulling at my best friend’s arm.

“Yea listen to the princess of the court you always do” He chuckled to himself.

Hayes, not wanting a fight Infront of me mumbled then strode off.

“Thanks Peaches” Shepherd said smiling at me then gently touching my cheek.

I stood there letting him then ran after Hayes. Shepherd had singlehandedly ruined Hayes mood. He didn’t speak the rest of the way home.

“Hey, wait” I said as we were on the stoop ready to go inside.

“Yea?” He stopped in mid movement about to turn the doorknob.

“Are you alright?” I asked softly.

“Why did you side with him Lynnie?” He asked finally looking at me.

“Were you really going to fight him Hayes. Yea he broke rules but…”

“But what Lynnie…you of all people should be against that. You hate feeding off humans”

I nodded “I do, I still do. What he did was awful but he does have an earth affinity, and I heard he doesn’t fight fair”

“So, you think I couldn’t take him.? I have a strength affinity…” he said exasperated.

“We don’t talk about it but after Mordella the Dean Konstantinov said one more wrong move for either of us and we are expelled Hayes!”

He sighed” That was different.

“Was it?” I asked softly

He took my face in his hands. “Lynnie…please stop doing this. Stop blaming yourself. It was as much my fault Blame me. Hate me

“I could never” I say looking in his eyes.

In that moment we were so close I felt my entire stomach somersault. This was my heaven. Hayes about to kiss me.

I leaned closer then he spoke making me freeze.

“He likes you Lynnie”

“Huh? Who does?” I asked, my eyes still closed.

“Shepherd, he likes you, I can tell” he said pulling away from my grasp.

“What?” I said almost silently.

“He is unpredictable. Don’t date him” He begged

My breath hitched. He didn’t want me, but he didn’t want anyone else to have me either.

“I can date whoever I want Hayes Skylar Eldridge!” I said storming inside past him.

I rushed by my sister, and she said” Hey what’s going on?”

“Boys are idiots!” I said going to my room and locking the door.

Lina headcanons:

Lina would much rather be called Lina or even Apollinariya rather than being called Princess Apollinariya

She honestly doesn’t even feel like a princess most of the time, much more connected to the forests she grew up in rather than among royalty

She speaks three languages: English, Swedish and Russian, although she’s not as fluent in the latter

Animals are drawn to her, but so far she’s only given Alucard familiar status (Alucard headcanon: the crow can be rather jealous of others getting close to his mistress)

She knows how to play the piano, but rarely lets anyone in on that secret

She first became exposed to the Grishaverse series back in Sweden, when her brother smuggled the first book into the forest for her. She’s always loved books.

Her half of the dorm room is decorated in greens and black, mimicking the forest she loved, with accents of jewel tones and some white

Pink is absolutely not her color. She’s more commonly seen wearing deeper colors, or pale ethereal colors when the mood strikes.

She’d rather be the person behind the power than the one in power. She’s turned down any offers that have been given regarding student leadership

She might have a bit of a crush on Annushka, but so far hasn’t explored the idea

She suspects that the Dean was told to protect her to the point she often feels like rebelling. Part of her disdain for the position she was born into. She doesn’t need protecting.

Anastasiy is literally her other half. She will do just about anything for him and they have a secret experiment regarding phoenixes going

She might have dated Shepherd for a bit a year or so ago, but nothing’s been proven and neither of them will say anything

Natallia looks up to Lina and she’s been known to use the younger vampire as an informant on occasion

Lina is one of those who treats Myroslav as a little brother, not having had any younger siblings of her own. She alternates between protecting him and rather ignoring his existence

She acknowledges Pastora if their paths cross, but doesn’t particularly consider her a friend.

She rather suspects Luc has a crush on her, but she doesn’t give him the time of day, knowing what he’s like. Even if people have said they ought to date.

She’s asked Kacia what it’s like to have older brothers, because she’s fascinated by the idea. Even if her twin brother is actually a minute or two older than her. It’s just different, okay.

She knows Zosia would love to take over the role of princess. The only reason Lina hasn’t let her have it is that she doesn’t trust the girl one bit and she suspects she is at the academy to find reasons to depose the Vladimirovich line

She knows Hayes likes Emberlynn, and that Emberlynn likes him, but she refuses to reveal his secret. Just to keep him on his toes.

She’s fascinated by Yuliana’s tattoos, but hesitant to actually ask her where she got them

She’s brought injured creatures that came to her to Professor Bering. The biology teacher might be her favorite

Professor Armistead knows Lina can play piano, but she’s asked him to keep it secret. Even so, she regularly visits his classroom to play the piano.

Professor Vargas is likely number two on the list of Lina’s favorite professors, simply because she often visits the professor to ask about book recommendations

Lina has been known to skip Professor Tenadii’s lessons when she knows he’s discussing her family. It’s possible he lets her know when those lessons happen, since she has yet to get caught.

Roommates with Emberlynn. As of yet the arrangement has been rather cordial but distant, although Lina isn’t against bringing the girl into her little circle of friends

Emberlynn’s Head cannons

She hates her first name, so she refuses to answer to it, and goes by Lynnie instead.

Lynnie loves New York. Especially Manhattan. It is a part of her personality

She is obsessed with Taylor Swift. She has seen her in concert 4 times, and she has met her once (one of the greatest nights of her life.

Lynnie loves music and if she considers you important, she has shared a Spotify playlist with you.

She has a collection of stuffed animals on her bed and in her room. Yes, she has named them all.

Lynnie is a girly girl and other than her signature black leather jacket, she hates the color.

She loves to sing and would love to pursue that eventually. Her voice is raspy and just cool sounding.

Lynnie is a black belt in karate.

She is the vice president of St. Andrews.

Lynnie is her Daddy’s little girl, so any mistakes she makes he cleans it up no questions asked.

She will randomly mess with Myroslav’s curls whenever she sees him.

Lynnie and Shepherd used to date back in sophomore year, but he cheated on her.

She took Pastora under her wing and now are good friends.

Lynnie has teased Lucifer for years, but nothing has come from it. He is Hayes’ roommate.

She hates Professor Tenadii’s class and once she had detention with him and he caused a hallucination that had her in tears.

Lynnie loves reading so she respects Professor Vargas and loves her fashion sense.

She and Kacia are great friends, probably other than Hayes, Kacia is her best friend.

Lynnie is Professor’s Armistead prize student, and everyone knows it. She loves watching him play the piano with his speed affinity.

She hates biology but likes Professor Bering and often goes to her office just to talk.

Lynnie and Dean Konstantinov have a weird relationship because her father has secretly paid off him and St Andrews to keep her at the Academy.

She and Yuliana don’t know each other that well, but she loves Yuliana’s artwork.

Lynnie and Annushka are forbidden to hang out because of Annushka’s father disapproval of Lynnie.

She would like Natallia but Hayes dated her when she first came to St. Andrews and something happened and she fed off him and almost went too far.

Lynnie and Zosia are frenemies at its finest. They respect each other and know not to cross the other’s path.

She and Hayes have been best friends since he moved to Ny from Nc when they were seven. They always have each other’s back, nomatter what.

Lynnie likes to tease Anastasiy whenever she sees him to fire magic, she will use her affinity to make it rain putting his fires out.

She and Apollinariya(Lina) are roommates and are so different. After three years they have navigated their dorm and are on good terms. However, they are still rather acquaintances. Maybe this year will be the year they confide in each other.

Lynnie hasn’t come to terms with her last roommate Mordella so she doesn’t want to get close to another one.

She loves watching Hayes training for the security team under a shade tree on campus.

Lynnie writes her own songs with either the piano or on the guitar.

She switches up her dirty blonde hair with highlights and pink.
