CHAPTER 1
RPOV
Today I died. Died? How? When? Why? Well if you wanna know I'll tell you.
It was right after he told me "Love fades, mine has." That's when I ran far out of the wards.
***FLASHBACK***
Impossible! I thought.
But looking at the firm Guardian mask placed on his face and the way his eyes shined with no regret I knew I was wrong. I closed my eyes to prevent the tears from falling but I felt a few betray me. I opened my eyes turned towards the exit and ran.
I heard him call my name for a couple minutes but it soon died out as I headed out of the wards. I passed the wards and fell to the ground while letting out a cry of pain to release the pain in my heart. That's when I felt the nausea. I turned but saw no strigoi. Again I turned and saw nobody. Then I felt someone tap my shoulder I spin around and see nothing but feel the rush of the wind of someone running past me.
I reached for my stake and felt nothing.
So I just ran but that's when I saw them.
There were 6 of them.
I stood my ground and motion with one hand for them to come and try to get me.
Then I got ready throwing skilled punches and kicks.
One grabbed my hair and I elbowed him in the nose. I
pivoted and gave him a roundhouse kick to the gut.
But there where way too many and someone took a knife and cut me in the stomach. I wouldn't show him the pain it caused me. "Just stop fighting! You stupid dhampir your outnumbered!" someone shouted. I knew better than to talk back but I'm Rose Hathaway when have I not back talked? "I'll remind you that you said that when I stake you in the heart!" I growl back. Although I didn't have a stake on me I was hoping the strigoi didn't notice. "If that was true pretty dhampir shouldn't you have your stake out?" Shoot! I was hoping they didn't notice! Oh well I'm a good actress. "Do you wanna see my stake? Because I can show you it if you want?" I ask trying not to sound like a liar. I was about to say something else but missed to block a kick and ended up flying back.
Then I noticed how sore I felt I was about to close my eyes when I felt a sensation that only occurs when you get bit.
***END OF FLASHBACK***
So know I'm dead. Well undead. A creature of the night that's what I am. I feel stronger and faster and I feel like I deserve revenge! But I don't know if that's what I want.
DPOV
I forced my self to be strong and put on my "Guardian mask" as Roza called it. I saw her trying to fight the tears that where so close to falling and I resisted the urge to hold her and tell her that I was lying. I witnessed the tears that escaped and that now flow down her face. She opened her eyes and ran out the door so fast I barely saw her. I called after her but I never got an answer. I was thinking about looking outside the wards but I knew Rose was smarter than that and knew better than to run outside the wards. So she must be in her room. I thought to my self. I walked back to my room and fell asleep the second my head it the pillow.
I woke up to the sound of banging on the door. I got up to get it and was face to face with a stressed-out Adrian. "Ivashkov." I mutter nodding. "What do you want?"
"Have you seen my little dhampir?"
I felt anger boil in my veins when he called Roza his but then I noticed what he said. "What do you mean? Where is she?"
"If I knew do you think I would ask you?" he growled at me.
"I don't know where she is! When was she said to be missing?" I may have sounded calm but inside I was scared like never before.
"I asked some Guardians and they said they say her in the Church but they don't know where she went after that." He said and I could tell he was scared by looking at his face I knew he loved her.
"Adrian! I know where she is!"
"Where is she?" he demands me.
"She's outside the wards." I whisper so quietly I doubt he heard me.
But I know he did because he spun around in speed that only a moroi could have and punched my wall.
"What is she doing there? Is she crazy?"
I bow my head in shame and pray for the first time in years that hopefully she's fine.
I look up to see him glaring at me with such pure hate that I didn't ever see in him before. "YOU! YOU DID THIS! SHE'S OUT THERE BECAUSE OF YOU!" He spat at me and I knew I deserved it. I also deserved the punch he threw at my face although I wish it hurt me more so I could fell anything other than depression.
I nod my head sadly. "I have to go Adrian pass me my stake."
"Take me with you!"
"No way! I have to find her and make sure nothing happens to her."
"So I'll go along with you."
"Your not going! I can't take a moroi outside the wards alone!"
"Please! You don't get it she it! The only one that gets me! I love her"
I look at him and nod. "Let's go. Just don't tell the princess she would just LOVE to come. got it?"
This time he's the one that nods.
