Chapter 1
JANINE'S POV
While we were fighting off the strigoi in the narrow intersection, where they had jumped at us and started to attack us holding up the retreat, Alberta yelled at the rest of guardians, and rose to continue retreating, as there wasn't enough room for them to help us fight. By the looks on their faces they didn't want to leave us but they knew that there was no other option, they started to run towards the purple light, the exit. I finished off the strigoi in front of me when he got distracted by the rest of our team retreating and went on to my second. Once we had finished off all the strigoi, who had attacked us, we started to run as fast as we could in the direction that the others went.
We turned a corner and could see all of the guardians at the exit looking at as they all tensed up as they watched us make our way to the exit. We were so close when we got attacked by another group of three strigoi they had hidden in the caves alcoves and obviously let the other team left unharmed and waited for the rest of us to attack. One of the strigoi went for Mrs Carmack but I pushed her away towards the group of guardians waiting for us at the exit, they come first. The strigoi went for me but I was ready and dodged it and saw an opening I quickly stuck my stake through his back and into his heart. He let out a strangled scream before falling to the ground, I pulled my stake out of his back.
I turned around the find Celeste and Alberta in battle with one strigoi and Dimitri struggling with the other. The strigoi had pinned him down but Dimitri was trying to get out from under him. I saw Alberta and Celeste finish off the strigoi and start retreating again. I was going to go back to help Dimitri but I knew more strigoi were coming. Regretfully I turned around and helped Alberta drag Mrs. Carmack to the exit, we all ran as fast as we could and burst through the exit before another group of strigoi could get us. As soon as I was out I noticed the sun was almost set we had to get back to the Academy and to the safety of the wards soon.
I heard a loud high pitched scream. I turned around to see Rose trying to go back into the cave but Stan was restraining her.
"What are you doing, Rose? More are coming" Stan exclaimed.
But she didn't listen she continued to struggle against him. I knew Stan didn't need the help but I went over and grasped a hold of her and tugged her away.
"Rose we have to get out of here!"
"He's in there!" she screamed, straining as hard as she could. "Dimitri's in there! We have to go back for him! We can't leave him!"
She was rambling, hysterical, shouting at all of us that we had to go rescue Dimitri. But we couldn't risk any more lives for just one who was probably dead by now. I shook her hard and leaned close so there were only a couple inches between us.
"He is dead, Rose! We can't go back in there. The sun will be down in fifteen minutes, and they are waiting for us. We're going to be in the dark before we can get back to the wards. We need every second we can get - it still may not be enough." I yelled, I could see that she I was right but she didn't want to leave him, the thought of someone taking down her mentor probably scared her, she was still standing still not moving.
I slapped her across the face and yelled "Run! He is dead! You are not going to join him!" I was panicking I couldn't loose my daughter even if I barely know her I couldn't let her die.
She started to run back towards the academy tears in her eyes. Finally I thought. We were all running full force in the direction of the academy, hopefully we would get there before the strigoi could catch us if they did we wouldn't stand a chance with only a handful of us against an army of strigoi. We hadn't made It very far before Rose turned around and sprinted towards the cave before anyone could stop her.
"ROSE!" All of us yelled, but she ignored us and continued to run towards the cave.
