Chapter One

A/N - PLEASE REVIEW! I love reviews so if you read please review!

Dimitri's POV

I can't believe it; I let my Roza get taken away, kidnapped. One second we were escaping the strigoi hideout the next one reached out and grabbed Roza. I heard her scream and I started towards her. I was pulled back by Janie, Rose's mom.

She yelled she'll be fine now we need to get out now remember "They come first." I turned and reluctantly ran out. Roza had beaten the strigoi but at the last second she was pulled inside the hideout, through a crack in the cave in. The strigoi sealed off the crack as soon as they were through. I started running towards the cave but Guardian Petrov held me back. She leaned down and whispered in my ear, she's gone Dimitri, there's nothing you can do about it. I know you love her and she loves you, but you have to accept she's dead. I understood the double meaning of that, dead or Strigoi.

I remembered our promises to each other, if either of us were turned Strigoi we would kill whoever the strigoi was, and I intended to keep my promise.

Rose's POV

I was escaping with the other guardians and a few moroi when a band of strigoi jumped out. My training kicked in. The strigoi hissed and attacked, I started giving him the Rose Hathaway treatment. Aww how cute you hissed, too bad it sounded like a kitten I said smirking.

The strigoi hissed and said I don't fall for guardian tricks Miss. Hathaway, normally I would eliminate you but it seems my leader requires you.

How sweet the Strigoi want me, too bad I don't go quietly and you won't live long enough to try. The strigoi gave an evil grin lunged and the dance began. Punch, block, dodge, kick, punch, block, dodge, and kick, over and over again. I finally staked him and ran to join up with the other guardians, Dimitri, my mom, and Guardian Petrov. They had stayed behind to help me out with the other strigoi. We raced towards the exit and then a rumble started. The ground began to shake and strigoi began to appear. All of a sudden the roof caved in separating the deeper parts of the hideout from the exit. Then out of nowhere a strigoi grabbed me and pulled me through a small hole created in the mountain of rocks. The strigoi hissed because I was beginning to break his grip.

Then out of the dark came a dark laugh, ah Miss. Hathaway, your reputation is true, you are quite the warrior. Too bad you won't be able to become a guardian. All well all the more better for me.

The last thing I thought was ah hell no I am not going to become a strigoi, and then I felt two sharp stings and then darkness overtook me.

A/N – ok hope you like it, if it seems a little distant that is probably because I had to write this quickly! Don't forget to review whether you like it don't like it or want to give me advice I'm all ears!
