CHAPTER ONE

My entire world was turned upside-down.

Dimitri, my Dimitri, was in terrible danger.

As soon as I saw that Strigoi grab and bite him, I started to run back to the caves. However, I was stopped by someone who wrapped their arms around me.

"Hathaway! What do you think you're doing?" Stan barked. I ignored his words, instead swinging my leg back. I heard him grunt when I hit the golden spot. His grip loosened, and I began to run again. Arms were flying out at me, trying to grab me, but I was fast and I dodged them.

As I ran, all I could think was please let me be fast enough, please don't let him be dead! When I made it back to the caves, I was greeted by five Strigoi. I snarled viciously at them.

"Ooooh! Feisty." I heard one say. One of them lunged at me, but I was fast and my hand that was clutching my stake snaked out faster than I thought possible. When it pierced it's heart, it let out a little gurgle and dropped to the ground. I kept on fighting until only one remained. The blond Strigoi.

He was hovering over Dimitri, who wasn't moving, save for the small movement of his chest. He had puncture marks in his neck. I felt like throwing up at the sight of him, mangled and broken. The blond Strigoi was smirking at me, and that pushed me over the edge. I lunged, but he anticipated my attack. He threw me against the wall, but I pushed the pain away and attacked again. I kicked him in the stomach then punched him in the head. He backed up a little, but straightened back up. God, I thought, he's gonna be a bitch to kill.

"Is that all you've got? I thought you were supposed to be the best!" he said, then snorted.

My blood boiled. "You're gonna be really sorry you said that." I replied through clenched teeth. I heard someone in the distance.

"WE ARE NOT LEAVING HER HERE! SHE IS MY ONLY DAUGHTER AND I WILL NOT LOSE HER!" my mother shrieked. That distracted me, and blondie threw me into the wall again. SNAP! I was not getting back up this time. That bastard broke my back!

"ROSE! NO!" Mom yelled. Blondie must've run, because there were three Guardians that came to get me. Mom tried to get me into a sitting position, but stopped when she heard my shriek of agony.

"GODDAMMIT! OUCH! SHIT!" I screamed.

"What Rose?" Mom asked from beside me.

"MY FUCKING BACK IS BROKEN AND IT FUCKING HURTS EVERYTIME I MOVE! SHIT!" I screeched. Alberta must've heard my screaming because she and another Guardian came over with a stretcher.

"Rose, I'm not going to lie, this is gonna hurt. A lot. What I need you to do for me is take a really deep breath and hold it. Can you do that?" Alberta asked.

"Yes." I replied in a determined voice. They lifted me onto the stretchers, and while I was barely able to hold back the screams, I couldn't keep the tears from flowing down my cheeks. A small whimper escaped my lips, and I was trying not to pass out. I had to make sure of something first.

"Mom," I whimpered, " is Dimitri gonna be okay?"

"Yes, sweetie. He will make it through this, just like you have to." she replied, a few tears sliding down her face.

"Okay." was all I managed to say before unconsiousness swallowed me up.
