Chapter 1
I kneeled down on one knee scanning the ground with my eyes, and that's when I saw what I was looking for. If you couldn't tell yet I'm Rose Hathaway, a student at the academy and one mean lean strigoi killing machine. I am Lissa's guardian her protector, but I have gone off and left her at the academy she'll be safe im sure, but if Christian lets anyone hurt a hair on her head I will personally give him a slow painful death. Well now enough with introductions lets get back to reality and tell you why im gone and on this impossible mission. Dimitri…the love of my life, we made a promise to each other we would rather be dead, really dead then to walk this earth as a strigoi. So now that you're caught up lets just jump right back into things. It was not very distinct, but I could tell they were Dimitri's tracks I've been tracking him for a while now and have been so close yet he always slips away, but not this time this. I will catch him and fulfill our promise. It was dark, but me being a dhampir I could see a lot better in the night than an average human so you know it was pretty dark. Dimitri's tracks had led me to a field of wheat and right smack dab in the middle was a barn. Peering at the abandoned farm it seemed it was in bad shape once red, now the paint was chipping and there was no roof in some places. It looked empty and I was going to pass it by knowing Dimitri would not hide in there it would be too obvious. I was just about to go on my way when through the shutters I saw a glimmer of light. Bingo. Dimitri… you got me you knew you usually wouldn't hide in an obvious place so it was the perfect spot but, you aren't Dimitri anymore… well sort of. I stayed perfectly still all my attention was on the shutters my eyes flicking from one window to the next to see another glimmering light. It was odd the light passed by the same window again ….. Dimitri what are you doing, pacing, I don't know but I was starting to get on edge. It was a miracle I would have caught that flickering light I mean Dimitri was the best dhampir out there he would never make such small a mistake and yet again. This is not good with my adrenaline kicking in I slowly back away from the barn this is not good I can just feel it. I inch away from the barn slowly as not to make any noise, which I did, surprisingly I mean it's pretty hard to not make a sound in a wheat field. Yeah I made it out of the wheat field with out getting caught I gave myself a mental high five. I was in the woods again now I have to start all over again that was probably just a decoy Dimitri put to get me off his trail and I fell for it. how stupid am I.
"What are you doing out all alone Roza?" said a cold voice from behind me it gave me chills.
" Dimitri!..." I just barley kept my voice under a shout I had my stake at the ready I was turning around to give him a nice blow on the head when he caught my arm and wrapped me in his arms holding both my hands so I wouldn't try anything
"Ahahaha Roza lets not play any tricks were all grown up here right?" Dimitri purred in my right ear. I nearly melted you don't know how long I've waited for him to call me that name again. No! Rose snap out of it. This is not the Dimitri you know it's just a shadow of the man you once knew. And yet his body felt so right, it melded perfectly together with mine. I could have stayed like that forever. Dimitri, sensing me become less tense, loosened his grip on me and instead of forcefully restraining me. It felt more like he was cuddling me from behind, it was nice. "you know you could join me Rose, we could be like this forever, have each other forever, nothing in our way." with that I snapped out of the dream he lulled me in.
"Never, I could never be one of you! I made a promise to you, the real you and I will keep it. I swear, or else my name isn't Rose Hathaway!"
"But you aren't Rose Hathaway you are mine, you are my Roza Belikov" that caught me off guard "Wha… What do you mean?"
"I'm saying we could be together forget that promise you made with the old Rose Hathaway and join me and become Roza Belikov, you don't understand how good it feels to be strigoi, you feel powerful you can do anything. Join me Roza we could start a new future together." this is not the Dimitri I know. He was never into having power; he was only concerned with those he cared for never for power. I through my arms down breaking his hold on me and did a somersault on the ground picking up my dropped stake and holding it at the ready. "You will never get me to become strigoi that I can promise you." I snarled at Dimitri glaring up at him into those red eyes. No, I could never fall for this man, not him, he is not Dimitri he is something else. With what little resolve I had I charged at him not knowing if this would be the last time I would ever hear that name Roza again. A tear streamed out of one of my eyes as I went in for the kill...
