I stood there shocked for a single moment, lost for words, Dimitri had faltered.
As I stood there I hadn't noticed the 5 Strigoi come upon our group until one was on top of me and being Rose Hathaway I put one heck of a fight up and eventually I put my strake through his heart.
I looked around at our group and I saw Dimitri beside me at least we hadn't lost anyone. We stood there for a moment before my mum shouted for us to retreat to get back to the wards before the sun went down and we ran.
Some more Strigoi were behind us and we all ran for the exit they stopped once they hit the sun's warm rays but not before grabbing my mother.
I heard Alberta scream for us to run but I could not budge my mother was in there. Dimitri looked at me and pleaded for me to come back with them.
What? They wanted me to leave my mother. I screamed. "She's in there, we have to go back" I said through sobs.
Alberta looked at me and said softly "She's dead Rose, We can't go back in there. The sun will be down in 15 minutes and we need every second we can get to get back in the wards".
She gave me a pleading look before screaming at all of us "Run"
She looked back at me and said "Run Rose your mother would rather you be alive"
And with that I ran back to the wards tears streaming down my face.
Alberta sent me to the clinic.
Dr. Olendzki gave me a quick check before deciding that I could look after my own scrapes.
I heard Lissa call through her bond to come to her.
I didn't want to go but I decided if anyone I needed someone who could understand me and she was my best friend.
I walked to her dorm and knocked on her door.
When she opened her door I fell her arms and let all the tears that had been building up for a while fall out.
We stood like this for a few moments before she sat me down on her bed.
She asked me what was wrong and through the bond I felt that she was scared.
The tears started building up again.
She whispered "Rose, please tell me what is wrong? You're my best friend you can tell me anything"
I couldn't look at her eyes and I barely whispered it but I did say it "She got taken"
When I heard my own voice it made it seem final.
The whole time I had been trying to tell myself that it was not true but now that I had heard myself say it was like the final decision being made in the court. It was final.
Lissa didn't understand.
She whispered "who?"
I looked at her once and whispered "my mum" before breaking out again.
