I WAS QUITE LITERALLY IN THE FIGHT OF MY LIFE.
I had to hold on for as long as I could, I had to make sure I never let go, because if I did I would lose everything I had worked so hard to keep.
"Let go, you won't win this!" Her taunting voice sneered.
"Never, you'll have to kill me first."
"That can be arranged, little girl."
Oh, that was the last straw; I was pulling out the big guns now.
If I let go she would be pushed back from the force and I would use that window to pull my stake out of the belt around my hips and push it up her ribs, piercing her heart.
It would be worth it, one less of these people in the world. It was far too risky though, I could lose it forever. So I decided to be sneaky with this attack and get her to let go and my life would stay the same, I would be able to go on living.
"OhmyGod! Boots 75% off!" In her distraction of what I had said she loosened her grip and I snatched the jacket from her and ran to the checkout, pushing past other woman fighting over various articles of clothing and accessories as I made it to the check out chick.
I handed over the jacket I had been fighting over and paid.
It was worth it, I thought as I left the shop and headed in the direction of my, more or less, home.
The jacket was the final touch for my outfit for my first night out in Novosibirsk. It was black leather, waist length biker jacket and it was all mine.
It was just perfect for my Strigoi hunting tonight and every other night until I could find and kill the one I was here for.
Hey, if I was going to die, I would do it in style.
###
I was ready. My hair was tied up to show my 'vulnerable' artery but it hung low to cover my two molnija marks. I was sure that Strigoi could suss out that I was not human, but half, a dhampir, a trained hunter of their kind, but hopefully they didn't know I had not completed my training, I was not a full guardian, still a novice, a drop out. I had abandoned my Moroi.
That memory always hit hard. I had not only abandoned my charge but my best friend. Vasilisa 'Lissa' Dragomir, the last of her blood line and probably future queen of the Moroi if Tatiana had her way.
I had left Lissa behind at St. Vladimir's to hunt the man I loved, to free him from a cursed life as the immortal undead. A Strigoi. Lissa didn't know about Dimitri and me and how deep our love went, so she didn't understand why I had to do this. I had made him a promise, one he had also made me. If either of us were turned, we would rather die than stay that way. I was keeping my promise to him, setting his soul free. My Dimitri would not want to live this way and I would not let him, even if I died too.
As it happened so often when I thought of her, I was pulled into Lissa's head. Sometimes our bond really pissed me off.
I don't have time for this, Strigoi to hunt, lovers to kill, drinks to drown my sorrows in...
I looked and saw that Lissa, Eddie, Christian and Adrian were all gathered around a table in the library. Saying they didn't look suspicious was like saying I was a transvestite with a peanut fetish, a very low chance.
"We need to find her," Adrian was saying with high determination and arrogance. Yup, he was a royal alright, an Ivashkov none the less.
"She doesn't want to be found," Lissa said miserably. It had hurt her deeply when I left, I knew she felt as if I loved Dimitri more than her, but my love for Dimitri was emotional and physical and was something I would do over and over again even if I knew the outcome, he was my true love, the love of my life. I had to do this for him as he would do the same for me.
"Rose will come back if she wants." Christian spoke calmly, trying to transcend that to the group, only Eddie seemed to agree.
"And if she doesn't what then? She's dead?" Lissa asked in outrage, getting up from her seat she glared at them all and left to her dorm, one she had to herself.
She was sitting on the bed when a knock sounded. She didn't move and I knew I should get out of her head and go hunting but curiosity got the best of me.
"You know," an all too familiar voice sounded as the door shut. "If you want to keep people out, you should really lock that."
Lissa sighed. "What do you want Adrian?"
"To help you find her." Lissa's head picked up as she looked into Adrian's emerald green eyes. She trusted him, he had never lied to her before and she knew how much I meant to him, even if I didn't.
"I don't even know where to begin and even if I did, I couldn't, she needs to do this alone." No matter how much she wanted me to come home, she knew I wouldn't give up.
"She may say that but I think she is just putting a brave face on, no one could go through what she has all alone..." His voice was fading; I was being pulled back into the real world, or my world.
"Where do we start...?" I was pulled out of her thoughts and brought back to my crappy little 'home' in Russia.
"Dammit!" I yelled in frustration.
Why do I always get pulled back into reality when I am just finding out what she is up to? Really, is this some kind of cosmic screw you!
I had to go hunting, I had to find Dimitri and free him.
I was dressed and armed. My weapons were made up of, a handgun filled with silver bullets, a stake that I had fashioned to look like an ordinary dagger and handcuffs made of pure silver so when I interrogated Strigoi, they couldn't claw my eyes out. My hunting gear was a tank top, shorts and my leather jacket.
I was ready to go, and I hoped I would find Dimitri soon so I could return home.
I walked through the unfamiliar streets of Novosibirsk, not knowing where to go to hunt Strigoi, perhaps a club or a cliché dark alley?
I stopped on the corner of some unknown street to get my bearings.
Come on Rose, you can do this just—
I felt him before I saw him. The nausea that accompanied a close Strigoi alerted me to his presence.
I was thrown back into an alley and as I stood the vampire charged at me, causing my back to slam against the concrete below. My stake was below me, I wouldn't be able to reach it and stab this guy, but I didn't want to, he may know Dimitri, he may know where to find him, or if he's still alive.
The gun!
I was able to pull the gun from my belt and fired a silver bullet through his thigh. He screeched in pain and I took my chance to get up. I pulled my stake out and slammed it into the Strigoi's chest, not hitting the heart but if he so much as squirmed it would.
"Move and you die." He stopped moving, but stared straight at my face.
"I know you," he said in an American accent. Thank whatever god there was that I didn't have to use my sketchy Russian.
I froze, how he could know me when I had never in my life seen him before, was beyond me.
"You were one of the ones at St Vladimir's?" I asked, hoping I was right and he nodded. "You know Dimitri Belikov?" He nodded again and I breathed in, not realising that I had held my breath.
"Where is he?"
The Strigoi laughed. "He will find you soon enough, don't worry about that." The tone and laugh was dark and sinister.
I loosened my stake a little so that if he moved it wouldn't pierce his heart, but it would be a bitch.
"Why do you say that?" I gritted out.
"You've come here to find him; it is only natural that he would want to find you too."
"Don't fuck with me."
"Oh, fucking is one of the many things I would do with and too you." Ugh!
"Is Dimitri looking for me?" I was getting tired of these games, I could have handcuffed him, but if I moved to reach them, he could escape; besides he was being cooperative without having to be restrained.
"Is your name Rose Hathaway?" Slowly I nodded and he laughed, a more cheerful one than before but was still enough to send a slice of fear down my spine.
I was so distracted by the thought of Dimitri looking for me that I didn't see his fist move and punch me back. I still had a hard grip on my stake, and that came out too, missing his heart.
"I'm going to enjoy fucking you!" He yelled as he ran towards me.
I got up and braced myself. The Strigoi slammed into me and I was pushed into the dark brick wall by the force of it. I got back up and ran for him, the two of us colliding until he pulled me to the ground, straddling me. I had an opening as he bent his head, fangs protruding, towards my neck. I was able to life my stake up and shove it through his back, at the right angle, and pierce his heart. The Strigoi screamed in pain and I gave the stake a twist, shredding his heart and the Vampire screamed no more.
I got up, pushing him off of me. I looked down at the corpse, my breath uneven.
"Was it as good for you as it was for me?"
So how was that?
Let me know what you think, and I'm planning on Dimitri not making an appearance until later.
Now, this will not be updated until I finish at least ONE of my current stories (Stolen Heart, Taken or Lesson Learned) as the same goes for Golden Eyed Jealousy and the concluding chapters of Spirit Bound, The Return
So, hope you guys liked chapter one!
Review!
