Prologue
Despite the strength and the training he knew that he couldn't resist against so many strigoi.
He' d managed to kill two but they kept coming and he'd lost the silver stake; there weren't many chances left but he wouldn't give up. If he had to die he would've done so fighting.
He was still inside the cave but he was slowly nearing the exit. He hoped only that he had enough daylight time to get to the others.
Shaking off one of the three nearest strigoi he began to run exploiting the protection the sunlight offered him.
Unfortunately he had only a couple of minutes before he was reached by a group of strigoi that started to suck his blood. He had them on his neck and his wrists and it would have been pleasant if it weren't for the amount of violence applied.
Suddenly two of them parted from him as soon as they felt the presence of someone else in the field where they were staying. It was a woman and a man, that in less than a minute neared the two strigoi avoiding the attempts of attack. At the same time they brought their hands to the strigoi' s neck pulling their heads off. The thud made by the head falling down made all the other strigoi turn around. Even though they all tried to fight in the end the two were standing victorious.
Dimitri didn't know if he should thank them or run away afraid to receive the same treatment. They didn't give him enough time to choose because the woman turned towards him and he realized she wasn't a strigoi as he had initially thought. It didn't make sense; there weren't creatures so powerful apart from strigoi.
"Another couple of minutes and he bleed to death " states the man cutting his arm with a rock, forcing him to drink the blood, any attempt to withstand was useless and he quickly gave up, too exhausted by the fight and the blood loss.

I chose to depart from the others, I don't care what the procedure says or if my life's at stake. I'll never leave Dimitri behind. Fortunately my nausea helps me telling me when I'm nearing too many strigoi before they realize my presence so that I can easily avoid them. I'd have preferred fighting them but I'm in a great disadvantage and I've no time for this. Mason disappeared so I have to find Dimitri by myself; my plan is to reach the cave hoping he's still alive and that together we can beat them.
I was walking when I heard shouting, I grab my stake and I approach stealthily. I have to hold back a yell when I get to the field where I see Dimitri forced to feed from a strigoi. I let my eyes look around to examine the rest of the situation: there's a woman who looks around and a multitude of headless bodies on the ground. But this wasn't the moment to worry about it, taking advantage of not being seen yet, I try to attack the strigoi but I'm pushed against a tree from a supernatural force. I find the woman's hand smother me but fortunately this distracts the other strigoi that release Dimitri.
"Instead of thanking us for saving your friend you try to kill my husband? " she shouts. I try to retrieve my stake but it fell when she attacked me, I can see Dimitri trying to grab it but the strigoi prevents him from taking it.
Suddenly the woman let me go after a nod of the husband, going towards the opposite direction that I came from stating "See you soon" in a way that sounds like a threat.
The other one follows her releasing Dimitri that surprisingly don't try to fight back, he stops for a moment just to say: "if I were you I'd be very careful not to die in the next days " before vanishing towards the woods.
