R.P.O.V (Rose)

I was walking back from the cabin with Dimitri when I saw a guy standing in the middle of the path wearing a loose fitting white hoodie and black pants. It looked as if he had a knife belt strapped to his chest, he had a long sword at his hip and two armored grieves on his forearms. The man looked at us and cocked his head. I tried to get a look at his face but his hood hid the view. I decided I'd had enough and went to approach the man who simply asked me,

"Which way to St Morgan's?"

"Who the fuck wants to know?" I asked, usually when I got in this kind of mood everyone backed the fuck off but he just stood there like it was nothing.

"I wish to know" said the man

"Well who are you?" I said a little peeved that my anger tactics hadn't worked and brushed a strand of my hair out of the way. The man simply stepped forward and from beneath his hood I could see a cold chiseled face,

"this is of the most up most importance" he growled "the school is in danger"

Dimitri behind me stepped forward and said "it is that way friend" he said "we are also traveling there maybe we could walk together.

"Maybe not" the man said and started walking away "safety and peace to you two"

"and too you as well" said a surprised Dimitri, I watched as the guy ran straight at a tree then using footholds and branches he pulled himself to the top branches then began leaping from tree to tree towards the school.

A.P.O.V (assassin's point of view)

The so called academy came not my view and I scanned the immediate area around it using my eagle vision I saw over 50 of the 'Strigoi' master Desmond spoke of surrounding the cathedral like school, something I might be thankful of making it easier for me to get around might I add. I saw some bodies of students already and some were still moving in pain. I knew I had to get down there so I leapt from a branch onto the top of the cathedrals roof and ran along the roof making soft clinking sounds in the moonlight as I ran, one of the Strigoi saw me and ran up to the building.

With agility that not even I had seen the leapt to the top of the building but no sooner had he touched down than I had thrown one of the silver knives on my throwing knife belt and it had dug into his neck. The beast fell down and I tore my dagger out, his head coming off with my dagger, as I continued to run towards the end of the building I saw a large pile of leaves and then leapt straight off the building and landed into the leaves. I waited for a Strigoi to walk past, and one did five minutes later carrying a student over her shoulder. I jumped from the leaf pile a slashed her across the neck with my sword cutting her head off yet saving the student who landed with a sickening thud I rushed to their side and stared at the girl the Strigoi was carrying, once I had checked her for wounds I ran back into the night to find more pray.

UNKNOWN P.O.V

I was in my dorm getting ready off bed when a strogoi came through my dorm room and throw me across the room, she then picked me up and ran out of the room, I was semi-wake so I could see sort of where we were, hazily a I saw a white blur dart out of a pile of leaves the gardener had raked earlier that day and the blur decapitated the Strigoi holding me. I felt myself falling and heard a thud and mot a second later I felt a jolt of pain up my shoulder. The white blur turned out to be a guy or at least I could tell. He darted towards me and began to feel my body at first ti though he was trying to cop a feel but when he left my private parts alone he turned his hooded head towards me, he smiled at me from beneath the hood and I could see his face. It was hard chiseled with pale blue eyes and a thin nose. His eyes flashed golden for a moment then he got up and ran off leaving me lying there and wondering who my handsome saviour had been

R.P.O.V (ROSE)

I watched him go off into the night before the first strogoi came and we grappled on the floor before I could get an opening and staked him. I saw Dimitri he was fighting with two but just as he killed them more came, he told me to go to the guardians and tell them Buria, I had heard that word before somewhere I just couldn't remember where but I knew what it meant, storm. I ran to the dorms and alerted the guardians, I remembered Christian, I knew he would be at the church but he wouldn't have heard the alarm. I had to go to him, I couldn't let him die, Lissa never would have forgiven me and I would never have forgiven myself if something had happened to him. I ran out the doors but not before telling the novices in the dorm to look after the moroi there at all costs. I saw Lissa there, she told me that she had all the novices around her because I wanted to stay there but she made me go get Christian, even though I knew I had to, I didn't want to leave her but I did. I ran and bumped into Christian and he was wondering what all the screams were and before I could tell him I felt the sickening feeling that comes when I felt strogoi close, so I pushed him to the ground and I tackled one of the strogoi down to the ground trying to stake it, I did eventually with the help of Christian, when I turned around to kill the other one I saw that guy again and god he's almost as bad ass as Dimitri but I only have eyes for him. When he killed the strogoi, I thanked him and he left, I didn't feel that any strogoi where close so I started to take Christian back to the church when he told me that we could help out the guardians. I thought about it and he was right so we went to the lower campus first and we bumped in to Yuri, he was losing pretty badly so Christian set some of the strogoi on fire just as a distraction and Yuri and I took out the strogoi.

"What are you doing Rose bringing a moroi to the battle, you know how bad that could end up" Yuri said taking down another strogoi.

"I know but he helped me kill a strogoi saving me in the process and we need to use magic, expectantly fire to kill them" I said as Christian and I worked together using fire to distracting the strogoi enough for me to stake them, in the end Christian and I moved from fight to fight helping the guardians, when it was all over I was looking for more strogoi to kill when I heard the voice, it belonged to someone that I was most worried about, Dimitri.

"Rose are you alright?" Dimitri asked running his hands down my arms looking for any wounds, I just shook my head and looked around.

"You know most of these are yours and Christian's right?" he asked, I looked around at the bodies, but the strogoi weren't the only bodies there, guardians, novices and moroi were there to. I looked into Lissa's head to make sure she was alright and she was crying. I just took off without saying a word and when I got there Lissa just ran into my arms crying her little heart out,

"Lissa? Whats the matter?" I asked taking her to her room, when we got there I asked her again and what she said horrified me so much that I almost burst into tears as well but I didn't I have to be strong for Lissa I thought.

"Rose, they took... they took Eddie!" She just started to cry again and all I did was held her until she fell asleep, I put her into her bed and I texted Christian to come to Lissa's room. A few minutes later Christian came in and saw Lissa on the bed and ran over to her.

"Christian... Christian she fine, shes just sleeping" I told him pulling him from her so I could talk to him without waking her.

"What happened?" Christian asked and I told him that he needs to stay with her while I go to the guardians. I left him to look after Lissa and I went down to the guardian building or really whats left of it. I ran into Dimitri and I just cried, he held me in his arms until I stopped.

"Roza are you alright? You just took off and I haven't seen you since?" I told him about Eddie and he said that he would talk to the guardians about it. Then I remembered Mason, how he warned us they were coming, I was wondering if he might know where the strogoi took out people.

"Dimitri, what if I told you where the strogoi took Eddie and everyone?" he looked at me, he was surprised to say the least,

"Ok, where are they?" he asked, walking me to a bench and we sat down.

"I don't know exactly but I may know someone who does." I told him he just looked confused so I told him it was Mason and that we needed to get outside the wards. When we arrived at the gates, Dimitri talked to the guy that was standing there saying something along the lines of that we had to check something out, the guy let us pass and when we got out of the wards I called on Mason.
