Description: The dhampirs, for once, are going on the offense. They are going to retrieve those who were taken and bring them home. But the rescue mission goes all wrong. After the captives have all been gotten out, they are on their way out. But then all hell breaks loose. Dimitri, Rose, and Aqua are taken and held captive. But by who will surprise you. This story starts near the end of Shadow Kiss.
The Strigoi have just invaded the Academy. Now they are planning the rescue mission. This is after Mason's help and the argument about whether to go on the offense. It starts at a part I'm adding, a convo between Rose and Lissa.
Disclaimer: I don't own VA. Now, on with it. CUT THE GOOSE! Sorry, a sub at my school always says that and it cracks us all up.
See You When I Get Back
Can I talk to you really quick, Rose?Lissa asked throught to bond. I excused myself from the meeting room. I found Lissa in the chuch, sitting in one of the pues.
"Hey, Rose," she said when I came in.
"Hey, Liss. What did you want me for?" I said as I sat down next to her. She didn't look at me as she talked.
"Please tell me you're gonna come back from this," she said, her voice choked.
"Lissa, of course I am," I said, secretly hoping that I was right about that.
"Promise you'll come and see me as soon as you come home," she said.
"I promise," I said.
"Pinky spear," she said, holding up a pinky. I laughed and hooked my pinky with hers.
"Pinky swear," I said. "Actually, I'm going to ankle swear it. Will that make you feel better?" She laughed and nodded.
We had got ankle swearing from iCarly. It was so funny that we edapted it as the ultimate form of promise. It's fun as crap! And the look on people's faces trying to figure out what we're doing is priceless. (If you have no idea how to do it, there is a link to the tutorial in my profile.)
Once that was done, we sat back down and just talked. We started talking about random stuff like if we were cats, what ould our names be? Mines was Sassy and Lissa picked Princess Fluffy. I cracked up at that. We were in our laughing fit for about 3 minutes until Dimitri came in.
"Rose we're- what's so funny," he said.
"Oh, nothing, Comrade, nothing," I said and got up.
"Yeah, sure," he said and laughed.
I looked bck at Lissa and said, "Ankle swear." Then Dimtri took me outside and we headed to where the others were getting ready to leave. But before we reached the group, Dimitri pulled me into the woods. Before I could say anything, he ha me pressed against a tree, his lips hard n mine. I kissed him back and we kissed for a minute. We pulled back for air and he spoke.
"I love you, Roza," he said breathlessly.
"I love you, too, Dimitri," I said back.
"Please promise me w'llmakeit out o this th r souls in one piece," he said, almost begged. Jeeze, de ja vu.
"Dimitri, I just made the same promise to Lissa. Well, more like ankle swore,but all the same. Now, come on, lets ankle swear."
"Okay," he said. As much as he hates to do it, he admits that when ever we make an ankle swear, we always stick to it. So I ankle swore that our souls woul come out of this in one piece.
"Dimka! Roza! Where are you?" I heard Aqua call. She was close and came zooming, with Strigoi speed, though the trees. She spotted up and smiled. "Come on. We're leaving."
"Va-duh, I'm still not cool with you going along. But I suppose that' you're decision," Dimitri said. She rolled her eyes and in a flash, was in front of us. She punched Dimitri in the arm. "Ow! What did I do?"
"God, please help this man with his memory issues," Aqua prayed. "Let me summarize this. Don't. Call. Me. VA-DUH!" She enunciated each word separately.
"Yeah, whatever, Aqua," he said.
She was gone in an instant and we walked back to the crowd. They didn't notice where we had come from. The novices were given stakes. We headed out and when we got to the cave, the novices were put outside both entrances. I stared after my mom and my lover as they walked into the dark caves. I wanted to just run in after them both. I loved them too much.
Afer a couple of minutes, we heard screaming and braced ourselves, just in case. We heard footsteps and got out our stakes. But the person to come out was a Moroi. She had been a captive. She had tears staining her face. We opened the half circle we had around the entrance and she ran to the guardian standing behind the group that would hold the captives until further notice.
Captive after captive ran out of the cave. Not one of them were Eddie. I was getting worried for the guy who was like a big brother to me.
We were still standing at the entrance when a guardian came out. He said that he needed some novices because there were very few in caves comared to the Strigoi numbers. He called me and 5 other novices up to go into the caves. We ran in and I was thankful that it was light enough outside to see where I was going. When we approach the center of the cave, we saw an orange light eluminating the cave. It was the fire users.
I looked around and found Dimitri fighting a woman Strigoi and my mom fighting 2 Strigoi, one man and one woman. I sighed and releif and jumped into the fight. I was attacked by a male Strigoi that was about my hieght. He was probably a human before he was changed. I jumped at him and knocked him down. Before he could retaliate, I had staked him and moved onto the next one.
I had taken down about 5 Strigoi when I got to the blond Strigoi that had known Lissa and I.
"So we meet again, Rosemarie. How are you?" he asked as if we were life-long friends.
"Way better than you're about to be," I said and aimed for his heart. He dodged and punched me in the face. I was knocked about 15 yards away and it wasn't until then that I noticed that Dimitri had been fighting right next to us. I got up and tried to run, but a woman Strigoi knocked me down and bit me before I could get her off of me. I felt pain and nothing else. I screamed and screamed until I passed out. But not before I heard 3 terrified screams from the 3 people that I loved the most.
"ROSE!" I heard Aqua, Dimitri, and my mother yell before I passed out.
Aqua's POV
I had just taken down abou 11 Strigoi by either staking them or burning them to a crisp. I was exausted. I am so getting a mani pedi after this, I thought. Alex chuckled through the bond. I have no idea where he is at the moment but he's still alive. I just had to check the bond every once and a while to make sure he was okay. All was well, so I focused on the red-headed Strigoi that was coming at me. A was too tired to burn anymore, so I had to do it the old fashion way.
I tried to jab her in the chest and break it with the inside of my wrist. But when my hand came out, she was gone. The next thing that happened was truly horrifying. She came at me from behind and bit down deep, knocking me to the ground. I saw the same happen to Rose and screamed through the bite-induced haze I was falling into.
"ROSE!" I, along with Dimitri and Janine, screamed as a brunette Strigoi bit her. She was screaming and I was crying and screaming at both the red-head and the brunette Strigoi. But soon, I soon passed out but before I did, the two men I loved most screaming my name.
"AQUA!
Dimitri POV
God, where were these things coming from? Really, where? It was beyond me. I grunted asa blond Strigoi jumped me, knocking me to the ground. I kicked at her and she flew off of me. As she ran at me, I put my stake strait into her heart. She crumpled and I moved on. A female Strigoi with blond hair and brown roots came at me and we fought for a while, each getting in a few good jabs. I noticed that we were next to Rose and a male blond Strigoi. He was good, I'll give him that. Then he punchedher and sent her flying back alot. Then worst thing possible happened. A female Strigoi with black hair came up behind Rose as she was getting up, knocking her back down. Then the black-haired Strigoi bit down into my Roza's neck. I staked the fake blond Strigoi I had been fighting and tried to save my Roza. But the blond Strigoi Rose had been fighting got me first.
"ROSE!" I screamed, along with Janine and Aqua. I looked over at Aqua and was terrified by the picture I saw. Aqua was in the same position as Rose was. A female Strigoi on top of her, only a red-head, and the Strigoi biting into the side of her neck. She was screaming and struggling to get loose. But, soon she passed out.
"AQUA!" I screamed, along with Alex, who was about 100 feet away from her. He was fighting off Strigoi and trying to run to her but wasn't making good progress. I struggled and tried to get up, but the blond Strigoi had a good grip on me. I gasped as he bit me, pain turning into pleasure in seconds. Through the bliss, I was screaming, trying to get out. But he was having none of that. He bit deeper and stopped the pleasure. I screamed harder. Alex was getting closer to Aqua and I hoped that he could save her. I looked back to Rose but she was gone. No, not Rose. Oh, God, not Rose! Don't let her become an eternal beast. Please, I'm begging! I prayed silently. I looked back to Aqua, but she was gone. Alex was just coming through the croud and found Aqua no longer there. Oh, God, please! Please! What have I done to deserve this? Answer me that! Those were my last thoughts before I completely blacked out.
Okay, so I know that this was, like, super short, but it was an intro. Intros aren't supposed to be long! So what did you guys think. Okay, so, since the Strigoi that weren't killed in this chapter will come back. I'm giving them names. The red-head one that attacked Aqua was named Callibeth, Calli for shory, and she is Janine's long lost cousin. Cliffy, I know. Okay, the brunette that attacked Rose was named Chelsi and she was a person that had babysat Lissa when she was infant and her parents were gone. So they were each connected to either Lissa or Rose. Whoever read BP already knows that the blond male Strigoi is Nathan. Then, even though she was killed, I had thought of a name for the fake blond Strigoi Dimitri had been fighting. Her name was Talina and she was a blood whore. Lolz. I'm sorry, I had to do that. I really do pity blood whores and by the sounds of the one Rose talked to at the beginning of BP, some of them don't like it, either, but they just can't stop. So, tell me what you think. If you love it, or me, then thank you. If you hate it, well, fuck you. And, no, I'm not offering.
Love,
Isabella Bieber :) (I wish)
