Summary: After Dimitri's hearing, Rose goes wondering off in the woods, but then is attacked by a werewolf. Rose is now a werewolf and with werewolf Cullen's help, will Rose be appeal to survive?
Hey guys, I know I haven't finished off Night of the Fangs, but I wanted a little break from that and start something new. Here it is.
Attack
This caused more laughter, and the third Moroi interrogator, who'd been quiet, snorted and rose from his seat. "I've seen all I need to. I don't think he should walk around unguarded, but he's no Strigoi. Give him a real place to stay and just keep guards on him until further decisions are made."
Reece shot up. "But-"
The other man waved him off. "Don't waste any more time. It's hot, and I want to go to bed. I'm not saying I understand what happened, but this is the least of our problems right now, not with half the Council wanting to rip the other half's heads off over the age decree. If anything, what we've seen today is a good thing- miraculous, even. It could alter the way we've lived. I'll report back to Her Majesty."
And like that, the group began dispersing but there was wonder on some of their faces. They too were beginning to realize that if what had happened to Dimitri was real, then everything we'd ever know about Strigoi was about to change. The guardians stayed with Dimitri, of course, as he and Lissa rose. I immediately moved toward them, eager to bask in our victory. When he'd been "knocked over" by Jonathan's tiny punch, Dimitri had given me a small smile, and my heart had leapt. I'd known then that I'd been right. He did still have feelings for me. But now, in the blink of an eye, that rapport was gone. Seeing me walk towards them, Dimitri's face grew cold and guarded again.
Rose, said Lissa through the bond. Go away now. Leave him alone.
"The hell I will," I said, both answering her aloud and addressing him. "I just furthered your case."
"We were doing fine without you," said Dimitri stiffly.
"Oh yeah?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "You seemed pretty grateful a couple minutes ago when I thought up the idea of you helping us against Strigoi."
Dimitri turned to Lissa. His voice was low, but it carried to me. "I don't want to see her."
"You have to!" I exclaimed. A few departing people paused to see what the racket was about. "You can't ignore me."
"Make her go away," Dimitri growled.
"I'm not-"
ROSE!
Lissa shouted in my head, shutting me up. Those piercing jade eyes stared me down. Do you want to help him or not? Standing here and yelling at him is going to make him even more upset! Is that what you want? Do you want people to see that? See him get mad and yell back at you just so you don't feel invisible? They need to see him calm. They need to see him…normal. It's true- you did just help. But if you don't walk away right now, you could ruin everything.
I stayed quiet for a moment, taking in that Lissa just sent me. This was hurting me, badly. But I couldn't afford to show it. So I took in a deep breath and just nodded. I could feel that Lissa through the bond felt little bit guilty, but she was doing what was best for Dimitri and I couldn't blame her for that. I would do the same.
I sighed and said with a strong voice, "Okay." I tucked my brown hair behind my ear before speaking again. "I guess I'll see you later Lissa." Then I turned around and started walking out of the room. I could hear Lissa calling me through the bond, but for once, I blocked it, not really wanting to talk to her right now.
I was about to head for my room, but I decided I needed some flesh air. I walked outside the Court and walking towards the woods. It was dark and cold, and to be honest, I was calling myself stupid for coming out.
As I continued walking around the woods, I heard something in the shadows. I stopped to look around my area, my heart beating fast in my heart. Goose bumps came around my body. My body was shaking with fear as my eyes met with the full moon. I was about to turn back to the Court when I heard a snap of some wood. I turn back behind me and what I saw was unbelievable.
It had bright yellow eyes with scary dangerous fangs. Normally I thought Strigoi fangs were dangerous, but these ones actually made me want to run and hide. Plus this was nothing really human figure at the moment. It looked like a wolf. I could see it's lips widen up into what looked like a grin. And before I could react, the wolf pinned me to the dirty ground and showing off it's white fangs. Then it bites into my shoulder. It's fangs were like door nails digging in my skin and making my body burn with pain. I felt my whole body shut down as a poison went through my veins, making them turn into fire. I wanted to fight back, I really did, but my body did nothing to responded. For the first time in my life, I screamed in pain and for help.
But no matter how much I screamed for help, my voice was too weak as I was dying. But then the wolf was off of me suddenly. With gasping pain, I turned my head to where the wolf threw off. I saw it on the ground with another wolf on top of it. It looked like that the wolf that was on top of it, was protecting me. But I had a feeling that it was already too late.
I felt my bones break in my body, causing me to scream more than before. I felt my ribs being ripped apart and my heart racing so fast, I could hardly hear the calm wind. I only heard the drums of my heart beat. As my bones continued to break, I was gasping for breath. The scene around me became blury, but I could tell it was just me and the two wolves. No one else was here to help me or save me from this unspeakable pain.
My eyes met with the full moon one last time before I blacked out into the painful darkness.
Hey guys, my first werewolf story, what do you guys think? Do you think Rose will survive? Review please!
