'Lisa, sleep now. You need it.' we sat in the dark forest alone. We'd been running practically all day, ever since the Strigoi attacked. I took Lisa from ST Vladimir's and ran, that was my duty, it didn't matter how much I wanted to see Dimitri one last time, I had to protect her.
Lisa lay in the thick grass, her emerald green party dress was ripped and torn at the ends after countless times of getting caught on trees and bushes. The bond showed her feelings, she was tense and surprisingly unafraid. Did she really have that much faith in me. I kept watch, thoughts of the Strigoi's blood red eyes swirling in my head. Who had been killed? Where would we go? My head was pounding. In the darkness a shadow moved and a twig snapped. I grabbed the knife attached to my thigh, hidden under my dress. The shadow came closer, stumbling into the clearing and collapsing in front of me. I held the knife out in front of me an moved closer to the body. I rolled him over and saw that it was Christian, I opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. There was blood on his shirt and face.
'Christian.' I whispered as I shook hi, there was no reply or even a stir from his lifeless body. That's when I saw the bloody gash on his arm. I opened a bottle and cleaned the blood away. I ripped a strip from the bottom of my long dress and bandaged his cut. When I finished I then I slumped back against a rock to keep watch.
The sun was high in the sky and my mind was clouded, then the memories of the previous day returned. The crashing of the doors and the agonised screams of the people we left behind. I looked over at Lisa and she was still asleep. She looked so peaceful but we had to move, so I shook her a wake.
'What, oh, Rose it's you' she smiled, but it soon faded, she remembered too.
'Guess what' I said trying to sound enthusiastic.
'Christian is here' I said nodding towards him. Lisa sat up and crawled over to him, stroking his messy hair. She caught sight of his blood stained bandage on his arm and she took it off. She stared at his gash. She cleaned away the crusty blood, and placed her hand over the cut. I grabbed her wrist trying to pull her hand away.
'Lisa, please don't. you know what will happen' I pleaded.
'I know Rose but look at him, I can't bare it' she frowned and restrained herself as I put a new bandage on. I stood up and looked around and walked off into the trees and found a small stream I splashed my face, the water ran red for a second until it washed away. I felt my forehead and there was a small line just above my left eyebrow. I cleaned my cut and went back to Christian and Lisa.
'We have to keep moving. It's you their looking for.' Lisa and I were arguing. We were both stressed by the events of the previous day. Christian still hadn't woken and Lisa was afraid to move him.
'I can't risk him.' she said defensively.
'Well I can't risk you!' I yelled back at her. Lisa didn't reply.
'Liss, all I'm saying is that if we stay too long, they will find us and Christian too. Is that what you want. To become one of the. I ..' I was cut off by the sound of a low moan that escaped Christians' mouth. Lisa hurried to his side and grabbed his hand. At the touch his eyes fluttered and he stirred. I watched as Lisa tenderly stroked his face. Her feelings so strong I had trouble blocking them out. His eyes sprung open in terror, his expression calmed as his eyes focused on Lisa. He smiled slightly as Lisa kissed his cheek. The moments after were sickening, all their lovey dovey and kissy kissy.
'Hey Rose' Christian said after he finally noticed I was there.
'Hi, Now can we go Lisa, we've been here too long. This place is covered in our scent' I said impatiently.
'But he's still hurt he needs to rest.'
'He's fine, he'll be a lot worse if he stays.'
'For once I agree with Rose.' I turned in awe.
'Wow, thanks. Now lets go.'
