Maybe lose his own life in the process?

Chapter 1

This one year, day after day waking up next to Roza was better than haven. This evening we were going to a royal dinner as the guardians from Lissa and Christian. It was a celebrating dinner because the law that Lissa didn't needed another family member to rule had been voted. So Jill could come back from Palm Springs. Lissa told Jill but she didn't want to come back. She wanted to stay there in Amberwoods to finish her education. Also Jill didn't really wanted to get involved with the royals so tonight she didn't want to come.

It would be an exclusive dinner for the counsil and some very important Royal Moroi. That meant that there would be a lot of Dhampirs guarding. That includes me and Roza of course. The dinner would be an hour away from court in the huge manor from the Lazar's. Some sort of lake house. I was waiting on Rose who was as always fashionably late, that's what she claimed of course. Rose exited our bathroom and even with her guardian outfit she looked breath taken.

"Are you ready, Roza?" I said as I offered her my hand.

"Always." She took my hand. :)When we left our house, I locked the door. We headed toward the car where Lissa and Christian already were waiting. Lissa was wearing a beautiful blue dress which came up to the floor, which matched perfectly with her pale skin and blond hair. On one side was an exposed shoulder and her hair was piled into a complicated hairstyle. Christian was wearing a dark blue suit with a light blue tie that perfectly matched with her dress. They were perfectly together.

"You know that I'll always love you, right? Whatever happens, comrade, I will." Rose gave me a mind blowing smile.

"I know Roza. I'll always love you too." I kissed her one last time before I got into the car. Rose was sitting behind the wheel. I rolled my eyes and I sat on the passenger seat. When we arrived to manor, half shaking by the speed that Rose drives, Rose parked the car. We got out of the car and I took her hand. She smiled.

The Royals were arriving and I had to admit the manor was beautiful. The manor was built in Victorian style. It had huge windows. The left wing was decorated small turret in beige colour. The manor was built in beige to. Behind the manor was beautiful garden. Torches lined the way to the door. They were wide open, guarded by four guardians. We walked into the great hall enlightened by fake candles.

While Lissa and Christian were talking to the Royals we watched … until the hell broke loose.

Strigoi entered the whole place, surrounding the Moroi. Guardians had their stakes in their hand and were ready to protect them. To my right I saw Rose heading toward Lissa. I prayed that she would be alright. They come first . With that in thought I went to fight the Strigoi.
