Through the Eyes of Darkness

Chapter 1

The battlefield was covered with sweat, tears, and bloodshed as Dimitri focused on the ultimate goal. He had to save all the innocent lives that were being threatened to be taken and he had to do it as quickly as possible. Everytime he would break through however he would be confronted with yet another strogoi.

He wished he could turn back the hands of time to when he was laying in bed with his dear Roza. It had been their first time together and it had been the most amazing time of his life. She was so beautiful and strong that he couldn't believe that she was his, but he couldn't let that distract him though. He needed to win this fight so he could begin his life with her.

When the last Strogoi was taken down he noticed the sun setting. They had to get out of there before more came. If they didn't then all the lives he had saved would have been for nothing.

They ran from the caves as he tried to run as fast as he could. He had even saw one of the stroigoi go for one of his dearest friends. It was hard to watch, but he had to run. That's when he saw her. His dear Roza. She was tired and worn from the battle, but the sight of her still made his heart beat fast. He loved her there was no doubting that. When this was all over, he really would love the idea of revisiting the cabin again.

That's when it happened.

Dimitri was slammed to the ground by a stroigoi who he had managed to fight back, but all his strength hadn't been enough he had been caught by surprise and that was how the thing that happened next didn't shock him.

The strogoi's teeth had sunk into his neck as Dimitri let out a pained cry. This was realy the end. He heard his Roza scream, but he felt the darkness tug at him as well. He wanted to tell her that he would be alright. That he was now going to a better place and she would be fine. ]

Unfortunately things hadn't been that simple. Right when he was on the edge of death. The strogoi had picked his head up and bit into his wrist.

"I don't plan on killing you just yet." The monster had said.

Before Dimitri could protest, the strogoi had already cut his wrist open and pried Dimitri's mouth open forcing him to swallow blood. No! This couldn't be happening to him.

His final thought before he faded into the darkness was "I love you Roza"

Then the darkness pulled him sending him into his downward spiral.

Dimitri opened his eyes as he looked around his room at his new residence. It had been a tough couple of months, but he had somehow managed to get through them. He fed, he hunted, he trained, and he ran errands. But despite how boring his Life sounded with Galina and the others. It had actually been the time of his life.

At first he had hated being stroigoi, but now he was ready to start unfolding his plan. A plan that would take a lot of effort and concentration. Her couldn't be distracted with pettie childish things, but unfortunately fate had not been on his side that day.

Nathan came through the door with that sickening smile of his and sat next to him.

"What are you doing in my room?" He asked rather annoyed at the interruption.

"Galine needs you to do her a favor."

"Oh yeah and what is that?" he asked reaching for one of his favorite western novels.

"It looks like her daughter is coming into town and she needs someone to pick the little brat up from the airport."

"Why can't you do it?"

'"Because I'm not her slave boy and you have an obligation to her too. Plus I'm not good with conversation."

"What's in it for me?"

"We'll go bloodwhore hunting as soon as you're back, but we'll kill them instead of fucking them. Unless you know. You'd rather do that before."

"What I do is no concern of yours, but I will take you up on that offer as long as you steer clear of the brunettes they're all mine." Dimitri said baring his fangs.

"Deal."

Dimitri shrugged and retrieved his duster going out into the dark of the night.
