A/N

Hey guys, I became bored with my first VA fan fiction, and didnt finish it. I plan to finish this one, and I hope yall enjoy it! I own none of the original VA characters, Richelle Mead owns them :/. I only own the ones I create :D!

Yes! I thought. I knew that we could get the captives out safe. We just needed to get out as fast as possible, before more Strigoi came. As soon as I thought that, the nausea in my stomach increased.

"A lot more are coming! We need to get out NOW!" I yelled to the other guardians running with me.

I saw the entrance to the caves and relief washed through me. We were all getting out. My Mom, Dimitri, Alberta, me and the others. I emerged through the cave entrance and turned around, waiting for the
people I loved to come out and join me.

Alberta, Dimitri and my mother were coming out when more strigoi came
out and attacked them.

NO! I screamed in my head as well as out loud. My heart broke as I saw Dimitri go down and get bitten. My mom and Alberta staked theirs and looked regretfully at Dimitri and the increasing numbers of the approaching strigoi.

They looked torn, as they turned and ran towards us. The other guardians started running back to the academy, while my mother grabbed me and started pulling me to run.

"Dimitri's still in there! I can't leave him! I'm sorry, I can't!" I yelled at my mother with tears streaming down my face.

"Rose! Don't go! Please! You'll get hurt and I can't protect you! The sun is going down and you'll get hurt! Come back!" She yelled at me while trying to catch up to me as I ran back to the caves. Another guardian grabbed my mother and pulled her, trying to get her to run. She kept fighting to come and get me but the guardian finally just picked her up and ran.

I turned back towards the cave, revealing how many I was up against. There were about twelve strigoi just out of the light in the entrance of the cave, waiting for it to get darker. Waiting for the perfect chance to come and get me and the other guardians.

I walked to the opening, with pure hatred in my eyes. Surprising myself and the strigoi at how fast I acted, I grabbed a brunette by the wrist and dragged her into the sun. She started screeching and
wailing, trying to get back in the cover of the shade. I didn't think, just acted. I pierced my stake through her heart and watched the 'life' leave her red-rimmed eyes.

I got up and finally heard the hisses and moans coming from inside the caves. I stiffened at the sound of a low moan that I would recognize in a heartbeat. Dimitri. I realized he was still alive when I saw the blonde strigoi who had bitten him, in the front of the waiting demons.

"It will be my pleasure killing you, Rosemary." He hissed.

My fury caused me to be beyond talking.

"You look so delicious..." he started to say but was cut off by an
agonized scream. A black haired strigoi came next to the blonde one
and saw that I had killed the girl brunette.

"ELIZABETH! You stupid fool! I will kill you for hurting her!" he said as he jumped out at me; apparently forgetting the sun.

He screamed and tried to get back in the cave, but I was in motion. I grabbed the back of his shirt and swung my body around so I could throw him with plenty of force, into a nearby tree.

I ran to him as he got up; slowed by the agonizing pain he was in from the sun. I went to slide my stake in his back as he turned and back- handed me into the side of the cave. I saw blotches of black and
white when I got up. Not good.

I noticed he was getting his strength back by staying in the shadows, while the sun was almost down.

I shook myself off and ran at him again. I remembered Dimitri and kicked him square in the jaw with all the force I could muster. I had my stake out and in his chest before he recovered.

Taking a deep breath, I turned around to the blonde Strigoi.

"Watching you fight Rosemary is very interesting. I think I would much rather you be awakened than killed. It would be such a waste of talent."

Get their attention away from Dimitri, was all I could think while replying,

"Yeah, too bad you won't be able to turn me. I'd rather die than become something like you!" I spat back.

Two down, eight to go, with maybe 10 minutes of light left. Crap.

All of a sudden about three of the strigoi burst into flames. I didn't hesitate with staking them, then jumping back into the sun. I looked around for the fire user and saw a moroi I didn't know laying in the cave, barley breathing. She had blood all over her broken body, and I couldn't tell if she was seriously hurt or not. None of the remaining strigoi saw her, for they were looking for my ally near me.

Instinct kicked in and I knew I had to save her.

"Well, Rosemary. It seems you have a few tricks up your sleeve. I cannot wait to turn the infamous Rose Hathaway. I will forever be a legend." Blondie spoke with hate in his voice.

I barley heard that for I was trying to strategize. Should I wait until they come out and be on the defensive, or should I go in and be on offensive? There are only five left but I'm sure I won't make it
either way.

I went with my instincts and jumped in the cave. It was very narrow so I didn't have to get far in and still have room to maneuver. Two strigoi were side by side and could barley have room to fight. The one on the left was obviously ancient and had amazing speed. He reached out, and his hand closed around my neck.

He leaned towards me and sniffed me while I stiffened. I felt his mouth on my neck when he went up in flames. As soon as his hand was off of my throat, I could breathe again and went into a coughing fit.
That was going to hurt later. I thought.

I kicked out as another one tried to get to me. I staked the older one and started fighting the other one.

"Please try not to kill her; I would enjoy her by my side when she is awakened." Blondie said with amusement as he was leaning back against the cave wall watching me fight.

"What if I want her? You can't always get what you want Nathan." said the guy strigoi I was fighting.

I fought harder with disgust all throughout my body.

"Shut up, Jace." Nathan said with annoyance in his voice.

About that time I heard something snap behind me, outside. I couldn't afford to be distracted, so I prayed it wasn't another strigoi, although I was sure these were my last moments.

Jace snarled and threw me against the wall and held me in an unbreakable grasp. He put his lips to my throat and bit. I yelled out in pain and it didn't stop. He was making me hurt-so it would be a terrible and slow death. I felt myself getting weaker when the pain was removed.

I looked up in time to see Jace slam into Nathan and they fell to the ground, tangled in each other's legs. I saw something black whirl by me, and land on the strigoi. I heard their screams, and as soon as they started, they stopped.

The next thing I knew I was being helped up. I looked into the face of the person who saved my life.

"Mom?" I gasped, throat burning with every breath.

"I'm so glad you're okay." she whispered while hugging me.

My nausea vanished and I looked up at her.

"You killed them; they were the last and you killed them." I croaked in shock.

"Of course. I wasn't going to let them hurt you anymore." she said before about ten more guardians came in the caves.

"What? What're they doing here?" I tried to say, but it didn't come out that way due to my flaming throat. Surprisingly she heard me and smiled sadly before telling her story.

"I threw a Hathaway fit and they came with me to save you." she said proudly. I got a lump in my throat and hugged her.

It suddenly hit me.

"There's a moroi and Dimitri in here. They are alive, but barley. She helped me kill some of them." I gasped at the pain of talking. Not being able to go above a whisper.

Two guardians grabbed them and started to take them out but I had to see them to make sure they were okay.

I walked to them and Dimitri was sleeping, and the moroi woman was gasping for air, but conscious. She tried to smile at me and said, "thank you for saving us. I will forever be indebted to you."

"You saved me, not the other way around," I continued whispering, "If it weren't for you, we all would be dead. You did amazing. Thank you." I said barely audible. She smiled and went to sleep.

The rest of the guardians went to look for survivors while the moroi and Dimitri were taken out of the caves.

My mom took me outside and started leading me towards the academy.

"Are you going to yell at me?" I asked, feeling like a small child afraid to get yelled at by her mom.

She sighed. "No Rose. I'm not. I know why you did it, and while it was very stupid, I tried to do the same, and get you. I understand and I'm just happy you're alive." she said shyly.

We walked in silence a little while after that, before she went to go talk to another guardian, leaving me to my thoughts. I was near the entrance when my nausea shot up.

"Buria! Strigoi! Help!" I yelled, but they were too far up ahead to hear my cracked voice beg for help.

I started running to the gates when a hand shot out and grabbed my shoulders, holding me still.

"I told you I would enjoy this, Rosemary." Nathan spoke from behind me, just before my vision went Black.

Review please! Tell me what you think, and I'm sorry if there are any mistakes, I dont have a Beta reader.
