I was so happy that everyone made it out alive. That was, until I saw a 6'5" blond strigoi. "Dimitri! Behind you!" I was so scared that he wouldn't make it out of the cave that the strigoi used to be hiding in. By the look of this strigoi I could tell he thought he was the shit.

Dimitri was ready when the strigoi lunged. Dimitri struck out with a speed that the strigoi wasn't ready for but quickly recovered itself.

I should remind you that I'm not human. I am a dhampir, so it Dimitri. Dhampirs are half human and half moroi, we basically have the best of both worlds, a humans endurance and a moroi's ability to heal quickly. Moroi are vampires, they need blood to survive but also eat regular human food. Strigoi are evil un-dead creatures that also drink blood but unlike moroi they kill to get their blood. Strigoi are incredibly fast and (pardon the pun) in-humanly strong.

Dimitri was winning the fight - that much was obvious. It wasn't long before he found an opening and staked him. Dimitri came running out of the cave. I couldn't run to him right now because of all of the people around us but I would hug-tackle him later when we were alone.
