I lunged at his chest he dodged easily, then I faked left and landed a blow on his side. Only to have him catch my leg and twist it to the right flipping me over.

"you can't win, Roza stop fitting me just join me." He said with frustration written all over his face.

"Why would I join you when I came here to kill you? I mean that is what I promised you, and I do not go back on my word Dimitri." I told him.

"How do u plan on killing me? u couldn't even beat me while I was a dhampir, and with all this power I have now u have no chance my love." He then let out a dark laugh that made my skin crawl. I took advantage of his lapse, and pulled my foot out of his hand, then I jumped up.

He looked annoyed that I was still fighting with him. I backed up putting 20 feet or so in-between us. He started walking towards me, I reached in my jacket and grabbed my stake. Keeping it hidden behind my back while he approached me. I waited till he was about 3 steps away, then I went for his heart hoping to catch him by surprise. He dodged, and grabbed my shoulders . Next thing I knew he was behind me with his hands around my neck.

"If you won't join me willingly I will kill you, so this is your last chance to save yourself." He whispered in my ear.

"No…I will not join you." I croaked out.

As soon as the words left my mouth I heard a horrid cracking noise, Then the worst pain in the world shot threw me. No sooner than I felt the pain it was gone replaced by darkness. I felt like I was lost in the fog of black, when heat flared around me.

I shrieked in terror, and pain as the flames engulfed me. Just when I thought all hope was lost firm hands griped my waist, and pulled me out of the fire. I looked up to see who had saved me, and found myself looking into the face of Masons freckled face. A surge of emotions shot threw me, but the strongest one of all was confusion.

"what are you doing here?" I asked in disbelief.

"Saving you." He answered.

"Would you like to tell me where the hell I am?" That was something that I would really like to find out.

Mason burst out laughing. I had no idea what I said was funny, well at least I did not think so.

"You are in hell my dear." He informed me. Ya, this was SO not funny.

"I did not think I wa-" My statement was cut short by a mob of about 100 Strigoi surrounding us. I looked at Mason, and was shocked to see him with a look of amusement on his face.

"That did not take you as long as I thought it would, I mean she just arrived here after all." Mason said to someone I followed his gaze to see the last person I ever expected to see. Isaiah. I gasped as all the images of him biting Eddie, killing mason, and the most horrible image of all me killing him. How Mason was able to stand there and look at his killer with amusement on his face surpassed me.

"Well we have been awaiting her arrival I mean who could not want to meet the 'Dark Traveler' after all she is are only way back to the living scents she killed us all." When Isaiah said that I pried my eyes away from him to look at the other Strigoi that surrounded us. I had killed them all, wow life, AND death hated me. I could not help the dark chuckle that escaped my lips. No one seemed to notice though.

"well your only way to get back to living is to kill us, so bring it on." Mason said as he took a fighting stance.

What had I gotten myself into. I died trying to kill Dimitri, and now here I was having to kill Strigoi that where already dead by my hand. If I did not succeed in this war all my blood, pain, and tears were worth nothing. If I did not succeed my life was worth nothing.
