ROSEPOV:

I leaned against a wall panting, as if I was fighting a battle to the death with Dimitri. I was running away from a pack of Strigoi chasing me with Mason, Alberta and Dimitribut we got separated along the way. Since the last time I faced a Strigoi, the Strigoi upgraded and now they can be outside in the sun and even worse now they had the powers of a Moroi. No one knows how they mutated but they did.

"Rose…." One of the Strigoi calls out," Where are you?" I gulped down and started to run. Should I do it? I ask myself. I nod and I manage to a stop and looked through my bag. I found my phone and hesitantly dialed Mason's number. By doing this, the Strigoi could track me down anyone actually! Since they mutated ,they began to be killing a lot more Morois and Dhamphirs and humans more than ever!

"Rose!" My worried boyfriend, Mason cries out. Months ago, when Dimitri broke up with me, I was pretty vulnerable and I fell into the arms into one of the best boyfriends a girl could ever have, Mason. Mason was sweet and caring even after he saw me dating Dimitri. But the past Is in the past.

"Roza!" I hear Dimitri with concern in his voice," Where are you?"

"I.. I am at." Then all of a sudden the bushes swayed. "Guys hurry! I am-AHHH!" I felt the sharp sting of pain then it turned to enjoyment. It was the same rushed feeling I had when Lissa fed from me. OH NO! I looked down to my neck and I saw a Strigoi biting my neck.

"Roza! Roza! I love you!" was the last thing I heard before the darkness swallows me.
