It Never Ends
Chapter One
"Rose, we have to get out of here!"
"He's in there!" I screamed, straining as hard as I could. How could I have killed Strigoi and not been able to break free of these two? "Dimitri's in there! We have to go back for him! We can't leave him!"
I was rambling, hysterical, shouting at them all that we had to go rescue Dimitri. My mother shook me hard and leaned close so there were only a couple of inched between us.
"He is dead, Rose! We can't go back in there. The sun will be down in fifteen minutes, and they are waiting for us. We're going to be in the dark before we make it to the wards. We need every second we can get – it still may not be enough."
I could see the Strigoi gathered at the entrance, their red eyes gleaming with anticipation. There was about ten maybe more but I couldn't make myself take a step. I couldn't stop staring back at the cave where Dimitri was, he had been attacked and if we left him there he would surely die, and if he died I died too.
My mother slapped me, the pain snapping me out of my daze.
"Run!" she yelled at me. "He is dead! You are not going to join him!"
I saw the panic in her own face, panic over me- her daughter – getting killed. I remembered Dimitri saying he'd rather die than see me dead. And if I stood there stupidly, letting the Strigoi get me, Id fail both of them.
"Run!" she cried again.
Tears streaming down my face I ran...
***
It took a while but eventually I caught up with all of the other guardians and novices as they were just entering the wards. I walked behind from them as I let the tears fall. Dimitri had to be ok, he had to. I told myself this over and over again.
One of the guardians whose name I forgot noticed me straying at the back. "Hathaway!" he yelled out to me and gestured with his arm for me to join the crowd walking in the gates. I wiped away my tears and ran to catch up with everyone else.
Once we were all inside the gates there was a lot of teachers and moroi waiting for our return one of them being Lissa. She spotted me and ran into my arms, Christian walking not too far behind her.
"Oh my god I was so scared, I'm so glad your alright." She said while still hugging me. After a couple of seconds she pulled back to look into my probably blank eyes.
"Rose?" she said her voice sounded like she had been crying. I didn't no what to say because honestly I wasn't alright my soul mate was back there and there was nothing I could do about it.
I felt the need to fall to the ground and ball my eyes out but I would just be embarrassing myself in front of everyone. My eyes were watering up I couldn't cry not here I shook my head and walked around Lissa.
"Rose?, Rose!" Lissa was calling as I walked faster. Her voice was full of worry and I could tell through the bond that she had gone from worry to relief now to worry again.
She desperately wanted to know what was wrong with me so she ran after me telling Christian to wait there.
"Rose!"she called but I just kept walking. I didn't even know where I was going. "Rose please!"
I stopped as I rounded the building no one was around here I let the tears fall.
Lissa came across the building too I could feel her shock at seeing me cry like this but I didn't care, it didn't matter nothing mattered.
I felt her arms wrap around me and I wrapped mine around her too.
"Rose..what happened back there?" she said in a soft voice. "What's wrong, what's happened?"
"D-D-Dimitri....he, he might be..dead" I managed to stutter out while sobbing.
She pulled me into a tighter hug. I could feel her emotions she felt so bad for me she was thinking that we must have been closer friends then she thought....friends? I pulled back to look into her eyes to see them now wide with shock.
"Were, were...you two...."she said. She knew, it was all starting to add up to her now that we were more than just teacher and student, that we were more then just friends. I just nodded, I didn't care anymore.
A single tear fell down her face she felt bad for me, she knew how she would feel if it was Christian.
"I'm so sorry Rose." She said as she pulled me into another hug she held me there thinking of some way to help me. "But you said might right?"
I nodded my head on her shoulder which she felt.
"Well he could still be alive we don't know for sure if he's dead." She said trying to comfort me, that exactly what I wanted to believe. We stayed like that for a few more seconds.
It was silent until we heard loud screaming coming from the other side of the building where we just were.
We both pulled back and looked at each other before running back around the building towards the screaming.
We stopped strait away and I pushed Lissa behind me when we saw the scene in front of us..
Strigoi everywhere...
Once again they had passed the wards.
