Attack in the Caves: Dimitri was taken and turned. Rose did kill Dimitri in her first try and know has completed her field test. One year later, Rose is Lissa's Guardian. Her life was just perfect, protecting her best friend and sister. That all changed when they were shopping one day and they got attcked by strogoi's. Lissa did survive but at a price, Rose was turned. But not to an ordinary strogoi, a shadow-kissed strogoi. But Rose is not alone, and she is not the last.

I never thought my life would end up being filled up with shit. Me and Lissa were having a nice time, shopping and laughing like old times, but in reality nothing turns out as it seems. For one thing, i died not for the first time but for the second time in my life. The wierd thing is that i am different, when i died, i died as a strogoi, again not an ordinary strogoi but what they call shadow-kissed strogoi. Many things are different from me and regular strogoi, one thing I still am connected to death in a spirit way. I have the bond with Lissa and can use her darkness. My eyes are not red but instead are a dark violet-blue purple, they can't decided between dark blue or dark purple.

I have more speed, strength and of course my appetite has changed to wanting blood. I still eat human food since I am trying to blend in to my surroundings.

From checking with my bond with Lissa I could tell that all of them, as in the Guardians and my friends, are scared for me and Lissa is depressed. Christian has had to stop Lissa from cutting herself three times before he noticed she couldn't be alone.

So, two weeks later they were having a service memorial in my name and stuff like that crap as if it was a funeral. Lissa thinks i am not died, but I am much more worse off then being died...I AM A MONSTER!

Another wierd thing about me is that I am not the only shadow-kissed strogoi. In the whole world, there is about twenty of us, including me. The only way you can be a shadow-kissed strogoi you have to be a shadow-kissed dhampir or get turned by us. That hardly happens since we have different living standards. We feed of the threat we kill. Most of them are strogoi since they want us dead because we help protect the moroi world. We are a secret society, we call ourselfs the Exclusive Assasins. The only people who know about us is my dad Abe Mazur, Tasha Ozera and the Belikov family since we changed Viktoria willingly.

Everyone thinks that we are all dead. Abe and Tasha sponsers our weapons and vechicles. We have head quarters in the mountains of Wahington, by the Baltic Sea in Poland, Sahara desert in Chad and in the Andes in Peru.

We have four leaders in our brotherhood, I am number 1. Viktoria is number 2, old guardian Matthew, number 3, who almosted made legend before he 'died,' has brown golden hair with amazing hazel eyes that have more of a blue hint. Matt was twenty years old when he got changed, of course willingly. The weird thing is that he got changed by shadow kissed Anna. Lastly, former guardian Pavel, number 4, who was my dad's guardian who was turned willingly by me. Abe agreed since we needed people who had skill.

~Two Years Later~

"Rose, we got a call that the court is being attacked by strogoi's in four and a half hours."

"Thanks Matt, get everybody ready for me please. In room meeting 2B." Matt was the computer tech in this group, yeah, you may be saying that's wierd but it is the truth. All the years were the technology grew, he got to learn allot about computers.

I was terrified for Lissa, the Queen let Lissa come under her wing and know lives in the court with Christian, Eddie and Mia, and of course Adrian who drinks and smokes more than ever. I may been away for two years, but I still care for them.

"Everybody. we just intel that the royal court is being attacked. Matt."

"Okay, so our intel says that there will be about three hundred strogoi, one of the biggest army against the royal court. They do not have humans, so they want to be known, we should get there in two and a half hours by our jet (A/N: don't know if it takes that long from Washington to Pennsylvania.) we need to leave in thirty minutes. Make sure you are prepare for a possible massacre."

"Thanks Matt." I turned to my family. "You heard Matt, you have twenty-nine minutes to be on the jet and ready. Dissmissed."

I ran to my room with everybody running as well. I opened my door and throw my clothes on the floor and changed into black jeggings, black Hollister North Jetty tanktop with black converse that reach my knees.

I picked up two .45 caliber pistols that were loaded with silver bullets enchanted with moroi gifts. I put my hair up in a bun and secured it with two darts with silver tips also enchanted with moroi element powers. I grabbed my bow and arrow from the shelf and stuffed it inside a duffel bag that looks like a baseball bag. I stuffed two of my swords inside their special bag that looks like a bag for poster. I put extra amo in the baseball bag replica and i was ready for the fight.

i ran to the jet to find everybody inside except me with a few seconds to spare. Wow, I can come inside anywhere and any situation with the Hathaway style. I sat by Viktoria and Pavel and the jet took off. I laid my head down to take a nape but instead I found myself slipping to a dreamless sleep.

"Rose, get your damn ass up!" yelled Pavel startling me from my sleep.

"Boy are you going to regreat this Pavel." I said through clenched teeth.

"Later Rose but we are almost there, we have to get ready to parajump."

"You better be happy, if it wasn't for this you would have been dead meat in less than you can say sorry."

He didn't give me the expression I was hoping for, instead he just smiled.

"OH! Don't think I won't forget Pavel so wipe that stupid smirk from your face before I do." And with that, he was serious. Thank God, I though for a second I would have to bitch slap him.

"Jumping in a minute." Called the pilot through the intercom.
I grabbed all my stuff and grabbed a parachute and got suited up.

"You can jump now, but you only have a minute before you are out of the drop zone."

"You know the drill people, go go go!" i yelled and one by one in a nice order we all jumped off, with me jumping off last. As always, I landed first.

"Let's go, we are about two miles off the court. We need to move north, let's go." And with that we were off to the court.

We jogged for about five minutes when we arrived at the gates.

"Okay, you know were to set up." I turned to look at the other leaders. "Matt, go with Viktoria and go to the north side of the court. Me and Pavel will go to the west side."

Apparently the strogoi were coming through all sides, that is why we are hiding in the trees above the wards so they couldn't see us when they passed the wards. We had a good thirty minutes to spare, so we just talked about what we are going to miss the most. To be honest, i don't think that many were going to survive. We were only a group of twenty-one people against three hundred strogoi. Over my two years of my new life, i have had twelve die, we fought at least once a week. That is how retarded the strogoi's were. I mean, you would think that they would stop attcking seeing how their numbers are dropping more than people are getting transformed, and by now would know to stop, but nooooo they just have to keep going. Really jackasses I say.

Then i heard a rustle below me and could see red ringed eyes. I signaled to Pavel that they are here. Any minute and they are going to set the alarm off...any minute now...riiiight aboooout now. Just when I said 'now' the Guardian on duty call for back-up and then the alarms were triggered by the strogoi. Just then, about one-fifty guardians came out with stakes and about thirty moroi, who most likely were fire users, and the first person I recongnized was Eddie, Christian and Tasha. Tasha already knew we were here but didn't know when we would come out.

Then the strogoi started advancing towards the guardians and the moroi.

With every step they took, I counted up to ten. They always took ten steps, or ten seconds, anything you can think of is ten or divisible by ten. One...two...three...four...five...six...seven..eight...nine...TEN!

And the war was on, the guardians were keeping up a good fight but many were dying and so were the strogoi, most of them by flames. I could see Tasha was not using her magic, instead was looking at the sky, waiting for us. And that is when I noticed that they needed us now and I called the command for phase one; Shot and Score.

All of my family took out the bow and arrow and started aiming and shooting at the strogoi. The funny thing is that on the end of the arrow, we had papers to indetify us to see how many we killed. We calculated all the arrows when we got back to our headquarters and by the end of the week we get death marks that go with our eye color.

After about eighty or ninety strogoi went down, we all jumped out of our hiding and took out our two pistols and started shooting at the strogoi's heart two or three times to make sure they stay died and then move on to the next strogoi.

Now we were face to face to the strogoi and we still had amo for our guns for after the war and a few arrows left. We took out our special weapons, mine being two japanese katana swords made of the purest silver ever and enchanted by moroi magic. Viktoria has two japanese tachi swords and Pavel has two chienese Jian swords.

We ran to the middle of the army, dodging all the died strogoi and guardians. We slashed to our left and right killing anybody in our way, we called darkness to control our hands and feet to make us much more swifter.

I was drenched in sweat, if you don't think fighting takes energy, you are so wrong.

All I knew was that anger and rage took over me and all around the sides of my vision was coated with pitched black darkness and my vision turned from blue with white, gray and silver and into bloodshot red. I knew at that instant that darkness had a complete charge over my body. I killed three strogoi's in one strike and I knew I would not stop anytime soon.

After killing eight more i looked aorund to find all the strogoi died and my whole family surrounding me in a huge circle. I instantly got up and growled, I had to kill. I had to make them pay, they were going to try and kill my friends and that was not acceptable.

Five of them walked up to me and pined me down to the gound with me struggling. Then I heard the voice i thought I would never hear again other than in Lissa's head; Lissa.

"Rose?" She asked in suprise.

Lissa POV

When the alarm went off, Mia, Adrian and I went off the secret room with the other Royal families and anyother moroi who were in the court. Eddie went off to fight and Christian went to help with the fight.

I was scared for them, I already lost Rose, how many more did I need to lose to suffer? The fight seemed to take about thirty minutes before they said we could come out.

I ran to the field that was in front of the main building of the royal court. I ran towards Chirstian, on my way to Christian i was horrified by all the died bodies. I just wanted to reach out and heal everybody in the battleground, but i knew better, I needed to follow my heart and my heart told me two things; one, heal them or two, leave them died. I followed my true senses and i reached my hands towards the body closest to me but a hand stopped me.

I looked up to see Christian hands on my wrist but his eyes were not on me but somewhere else. I was truly scared to see what he was looking at so i made an apptempt to ask him?

"What's wrong honey?" I hated it when Christian scared me.

But Christian didn't respond, instead I relcutently went to see what was distracing Christian so bad. What I saw suprised me at who I was looking at and where they were; on the ground being restrained by five guardians.

"Rose?" i asked in suprised.

I walked forward but then someone put a hand in front of me.

"Sorry Princess, but we are going under some difficult situations with number 1 right now. Please step back while we work with her." I listened by taking three steps back and running into Christian's waiting arms. We watched silently as they did whatever they were going to do with Rose.

Then the guy who stopped me walked up to Rose and spoke to her but i couldn't hear. After a minute or two, Rose stopped struggling.

One by one the guardians released Rose and after the last guardian got up, I ran full speed to a suprised Rose.

"ROSE!" I yelled in relief and I could feel Christian behind me hugging both me and Rose.

"Ummm, guys could you hold on?" I looked to face Rose, face to face.

"No, first explain to me how you are not died. For two years I thought you were died and here you are standing in front of me."

"Calm down," Rose said in a amused voice. "everything will be explained to you soon but let me feed off them." Rose pointed at the died bodies on the ground and turned to look at the Guardians surronding her and said 'let's go.'

Rose POV

I knew this would happen sooner or later and I decided to get it over with. I mean, I have been running away for two years now and I believe everybody deserved an explanation.

After we collected our arrows and drank from the strogoi's we went to the court room to explain our situation, but first Abe had to come and so did the Belikov family.

~Next Day~

As we sat in our chairs in the front with Tasha sitting with us, we only had to wait for Abe and the Belikov family to enter the court room with every royal family attending and probably one of the biggest court cases ever.

This was going to be looooong day.

Next Chapter is going to be about the case and how everybody reacts.

Please don't expeact the story to be long and I didn't have a spell checker so I am sorry if some things don't make sense or are spelled wrong.

Enjoy!
