Chapter 1

Rose

"Lissa we really should be getting back its quieting down you know the strigoi target the area!" I say and yes I know I'm being a spoilsport but it's my soon to be job to protect her. We are in Vegas after a secret mission with Lissa, Eddie and I. Adrian just seemed to appear somewhere along the way.

Walking down the boulevard we are making our way back to the hotel Eddie and Adrian left walking on a "shortcut". Me and Lissa…..

Hang on … WHERE IS LISSA?

Where was rose I'm sure she was just right there maybe she's next to the casino?

No oh so was her wasn't it.

Where is she again?

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Oh no oh not this.

It's probably nothing no need to worry.

Something pushes me against the wall of the shop no no no it isn't.

It is.

The strigoi held me to the wall bearing his fangs.

"One of the last of the Dragomir line I'll be happy when those have been finished off." He snarls at me.

I'll never get to Lissa in time she'll die and it will be all my fault.I start running in the direction of the shop. I need to try.

He goes to bite me and just inches from my face a shining blade goes through he heart.
