This story was nagging in my bran, so I decided to write it and then get killed by my biology teacher because I was writing stories instead of her assignment. I was doing English aha. So this is set both after Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy) and after Breaking Dawn (Twilight). Just read it.
Knock knock knock.
I groaned as something was knocking in my dream, yet I knew it was her bedroom door being knocked on. It had disturbed my dream and i was now extremely angry and didn't understand why. I got up from my bed still half asleep and threw the door open. I immediately regretted this when I saw my best friend.
"Liss. What's wrong?" I stepped aside to let my best friend in. I hated the fact that I couldn't tell what was wrong anymore because the bond had been broken.
"I. I I I."
"Liss. Look at me and breathe. What's wrong?"
"They took Christian."
"Who? Who took Christian?"
"Strigoi."
I groaned quietly to myself. I knew what was going to happen next, Dimitri and I were going to go on another suicide mission. Lissa started telling the story.
"He was visiting family in Washington. In Forks. He went for a walk to practise his magic as this family still doesn't like to do that. He never came back. A few moroi saw people running after him really fast. Who else could it be?"
"When did you find out about this?"
"Just this morning. He's already been missing for a day. He must be so scared."
Just then Dimitri burst in the door.
"Rose, Vasilisa. I just heard."
I was hugging Lissa and I just realised that we were on the floor. We both looked up as we heard Dimitri's voice.
"What can we do?"
Dimitri asked Lissa. I looked up at him like he was an idiot. Of course we were going to rescue Christian and kill a bunch of strigoi and still get back in time to watch the season finale of NCIS. Apparently someone was going to die. Not that they would tell us until next season.
"You're thinking about NCIS again aren't you?"
It was Lissa who asked me. I had talked non stop about it for the last few weeks. She had a smile on her face even though her boyfriend was taken by strigoi.
"No. I was thinking we go rescue Christian so you guys can make pretty babies together, kill a bunch of strigoi and get back in time to watch NCIS."
I grinned wildly at her and then hugged her again.
"You can use the private jet. It takes roughly 5 hours to get there."
"We'd better leave now then.
"Sure thing comrade. Now Liss, don't worry we will get Christian back."
I hugged her again very tightly and let go after about 2 minutes.
"Just look after yourselves as well. I don't want to lose my boyfriend, my best friend and her boyfriend."
Dimitri just smiled nicely at her and I hugged her again.
"Ok comrade. Off we go on another adventure."
I put my best cheesy grin on. He rolled his eyes at me and then grinned.
"Get in the plane Roza."
-
When I got to our house I found that Edward was already there waiting for her with a big grin on his face.
"Edward."
"Bella. I have a surprise for you."
"Ohh. Edward you don't have to get be anything."
"It's not for you, it's for our family."
It was weird how he said that. Our family. I was a pretty new vampire but we had a family now. My family. Not just with Carlisle, Esme and my brothers and sisters. But with Edward and my beautiful girl, Renesmee. I smiled at him as he took my hand and led me towards the house.
"Um. Close your eyes."
"Edward. Not again."
"You can do it yourself this time. Just no peaking."
"Edward this better not be a car."
I felt myself being led into the garage. I could smell all the familiar smells of my family and some other scents of my wolfy family. A pair of warm hands touched my cold ones. There was a scent that I did not recognise.
"Edward. This is a new car isn't it?"
A lot of laughs came from around me. Ok you can open your eyes.
"Edward?"
"It's a new car... for Renesmee."
"She can't drive yet."
"But she could."
After the excitement of the new car for Renesmee. We hushed down to the living room where I watched Renesmee play with Jacob.
"Mama. What's that pretty colour out there."
We all hurried to look outside the window. There was a man there. He was playing with fire with a big smile on his face. He was sitting down making fire with his hands.
"They've come for her." Edward said, he looked scared.
"No. They can't take her." Bella was scared for Renesmee.
"Well lets catch him. Try to talk to him about what he is doing here." Emmett said with a big grin on his face.
"He's obviously one of them." Jasper said with a shocked look on his face.
"Well. Let's go then."
The Cullen clan burst from the house. The creature was obviously one of them yet he was not as fast as them. He was different. He ran from them with a shocked look yet didn't try to use his power. Edward quickly outran him and with a simple push Emmett knocked the vampire out.
Rosalie opened his mouth.
"He has fangs, he has fangs and we don't."
Emmett picked the vampire up and carried him into the house. They placed him into the basement and Edward planned on interrogating him.
He woke up soon afterwards. Yet Edward saw that his thoughts were deep and hard to understand.
"Who are you?"
"Who the hell are you?"
"I am Edward Cullen."
"Ok that's great. Why the hell did you knock me out."
"You're from the Volturi."
"The what?"
"The vampire royal family. Everyone knows about them."
"Ah. I know all of the vampire royal families. The 'Volturi' aren't one of them."
"There is only one."
"Okay. Fine. Whatever you say."
"What is your name?"
"Christian Ozera."
"Where do you live?"
"Right now? At Philadelphia."
"Why are you in Forks?"
"I have family here?"
"Where are your parents?"
"Dead. A while ago."
"How?"
"Vampires killed them and then vampires killed them."
"Um I don't understand."
"Inside joke." Christian cracked a smile. "Look my girlfriend has to be worried about me and I really want to get out of here."
"Why are you after my daughter."
"You have a daughter. That's great. Congratulations."
"Wait. You're not shocked that I had a child?"
"Um. No. We have kids all the time. It's not like we are infertile like the dhampirs."
Edward got over interrogating him and went upstairs.
"Hey. Got over the jokes did you?"
"Yeah well he's got a strange sense of humour."
Edward went to the computer and typed in "Christian Ozera." it came up with a few articles.
"Christian Ozera's parents were tragically taken from him at a young age. At the beautiful Victorian age academy he attended he found his girlfriend Vasilia Dragomir."
"Look, here's a picture of him and his girlfriend."
The Cullen family gathered around to look at the picture.
"That's him. Is he famous or something?"
"Wait there's more."
"Princess Vasilisa Dragomir is the last of her name after her parents and her brother and nearly her best friend were killed in a horrific car crash. Her best friend, Rosemarie Hathaway owes her life to the princess. In debt to her, she and her boyfriend Dimitri Belikov guard the princess and the prince after he many threats that chase after them hoping to kill Princess Vasilisa Dragomir."
"Um. That girl, Rose. She looks a lot like Bella when Bella was human."
They all concluded that she did in an almost creepy way.
"There's a picture of them as well. Print one of each person and talk to him again."
Edward followed Carlisle's advice and took the pictures downstairs.
"Your parents."
Christian flinched at this as he saw the happy faces of his parents and him as a small boy. Little did they know that they would soon be dead. Forever. Edward saw this reaction and obviously concluded that this was a sore spot.
"Rosemarie Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov. What is their story? And finally Princess Vasilisa Dragomir. The last of her name."
Edward showed Christian a picture of Rose and Dimitri looking solemn as they protected their charges. and a picture of Christian and Lissa looked at each other lovingly.
"I don't care if you kill me but if you even think about touching Liss."
"What about the car crash where Vasilisa's parents and brother die and her best friend nearly dies."
"Rose and Liss have been best friends for years. I think they met when they were 2 or something. Lissa's parents always wanted Rose to be Lissa's guardian. But then they died in the car crash and Lissa saved Rose. They then ran away from school together for 2 years until Dimitri and the school guardians found them. Please don't hurt Lissa. She's never done anything wrong. Please."
Edward was sad at Christian's pleading eyes. It reminded him of himself and Bella. He turned and left again.
"We need a human. He obviously doesn't trust us. Yet he is some sort of vampire." Edward concluded as he left the basement for another time.
"Wait. He said something in there about 'dhampirs'. We're not infertile like the dhampirs. Google it."
Bella typed the word into the search engine.
"Here we go. In one legend of the vampires there are three main types. The strigoi are the undead vampires that hunt on humans and the moroi and dhampirs. They say that the blood of the moroi is so delicious. Next are the moroi, these vampires live a normal human lifespan and don't kill their victims as if they do they shall turn into strigoi. The moroi can connect to he four elements; earth, fire, wind and water. Both strigoi and moroi bites contain endorphins and many humans volunteer for the bite and become addicted. Finally, the dhampirs who guard the moroi. These creatures are created from moroi having children with humans. They are half vampires half humans and seem to take the best traits for both. As they rely on the moroi for their survival, they protect them from the strigoi. In America there are twelve royal families including the Ozera's, the Ivashkov's, the Dragomir's and more."
"The Ozera's. He is from a vampire royal family."
"Jacob. Why doesn't Jake go in there with him?"
They were all shocked at who said it. Renesmee, it was quite smart and none of them had thought of that.
"Oh god. I know what comes next. I volunteer to play a prisoner."
"Right then. Have you heard all of what we've uncovered thus far?" Edward asked Jake in a serious voice.
"Thus. Seriously, thus. Oh my. I've heard just chuck me down there."
They quite literally did that. Jake let out a very convincing yelp. Maybe a little too convincing.
Down below the basement Jake was heaving himself off the ground to sit up on the opposite side of the room to the latest prisoner.
"Hey. I'm Christian. What did you do to end up down here?"
"Hey. I'm Jacob. I trespassed. My family are starving and they have so much food they don't even use because they're vampires. What did you do?"
"Yeah. I gathered. Um they think I'm after some child of theirs. It's not that special vampires have children all the time."
"Um. Not the ones in my legend."
"Ok. Maybe these are special vampires that can't have children unlike the ones in my legends."
"You have vampire legends?"
"I am a vampire."
"Wait. What."
Edward and Bella didn't tell him this. Jacob shuffled further away from the vampire.
Christian saw this move and thought it was funny. He laughed.
"That's probably a good idea."
"You look pretty young. Where ate your parents?"
"They died when I was very young."
"Oh. I'm sorry. How did it happen?"
"In my world, there are three types of vampires. I'm a moroi. I drink blood but I don't kill my victims or I shall turn into an undead vampire. I live as long as any human would. My parents chose to turn into strigoi. The dhampirs then killed them."
"What are dhampirs?"
"Dhampirs are a result of a moroi and a human procreating to make a half vampire and half human. They are our guardians."
Meanwhile upstairs Edward and the family had leant a lot more.
"He is a vampire but lives as long as a human and can have children."
"Essentially Renesmee is a dhampir."
They all looked at Renesmee who was fast asleep in Bella's arms.
"I want to meet one of the dhampirs. I want to learn about their lives."
Bella said. They were all still concerned at the rapid way the Renesmee were growing.
-
"Hey are you okay?"
"Yeah. It's just freaky. I thought I would have still gotten the headaches. But I don't."
"That's a good thing though."
Rose smiled sadly up at Dimitri.
"Yeah. I suppose. It just means its real. No more connection to Lissa or the undead world."
For the rest of the flight Dimitri and Rose sat there in silence holding each others hand and with Rose's head on Dimitri's shoulders. They knew the strategy was for Rose to fight whilst Dimitri got Christian. They estimated that there was about 4 strigoi. How wrong they were.
They drove out to the spot where Christian's family said he should go.
"He was obviously here."
"He was sitting down here. He got up quickly and ran. He wasn't a threat why did they want him? His prints stop and and get dragged backwards. How many people were chasing him?"
"I've counted 8 but there are also paw prints. Maybe psi-hounds?"
"The prints are too big. Dimitri maybe we should go get back-up?"
"I think it's a little too late for that."
Both Dimitri and Rose looked up shocked, 8 vampires and werewolves stood there staring at them.
"Oh crap."
A fight automatically ensued. Unfortunately Rose and Dimitri were outnumbered by a lot. Half went for Rose and the other half for Dimitri. They both put up a good fight, better than Christian. Yet they were outnumbered. Soon a very large vampire pushed Rose hard and she flew into a tree and fell to the ground, unconscious with blood dripping from her mouth. All the vampires were now focused on Dimitri. Dimitri was shocked for a moment and worried about Rose. He shouted her name but there was no response. A dog grabbed him in the moment he was worried about and slammed him to the ground yet he got up straight away.
A loud scream made the Cullens turn around.
There was Renesmee being held by Rose who had a stake to her heart.
"I don't know if it will kill her. But it sure as hell will hurt. Dimitri."
The Cullens were frozen. No one wanted her to hurt Renesmee. Rose
knew that they had to act fast. Dimitri stood next to Rose.
"Going for a run?"
"That sounds nice."
Both Dimitri and Rose took a couple of steps backward before pushing Renesmee towards her family and sprinted off in the other direction.
They felt the dogs on either side of them and people chasing behind them. Both Dimitri and Rose started running faster. They jumped over a river and the vampires stopped behind them but not the wolves. They picked up the pace. There was a large cliff and they both paused for a millisecond before someone's hands grabbed Rose and pulled her. It was a man and he was naked. Rose pulled and pulled to try and get away. But the man was too strong. Two more got Dimitri. They shoved Dimitri in one car and Rose in another.
Rose got a sudden splitting migraine. Not the same as what the ghosts caused. She was holding her head and moaning.
"Shut-up." it was Jacob. He hated this girl, she had threatened Renesmee's life. Rose just kept clutching her head and moaning softly.
Jacob threw Rose down in the basement with Dimitri and Christian. She continued moaning.
"Rose. Rose. What's wrong?"
"She's faking it."
"You don't even know her." Christian said angrily at the person he actually liked.
"Rose doesn't fake things." Dimitri rounded off.
"whatever." Jake said and left the room.
Dimitri grabbed Rose's hand and he saw blood.
"She's bleeding from her ear."
"Um. If I remember school correctly that's bad."
"Rose. I need you to talk to me. Sit up."
Rose sat up and she had been crying but she was crying blood.
"Hey. We need help down here." Christian shouted through the door.
Edward came down and once he saw all the blood from Rose he picked her up and took her upstairs.
Carlisle ran to her as soon as he smelt the blood.
"Ok. The rest of you go outside. Jacob. I need your help."
"What's wrong with her?"
"I think we may have been a little bit too rough on her."
"Ok. I can't do anything here. She needs a hospital."
"But she'll escape."
"You really think she will?" Carlisle said and Jacob nodded his head. "I doubt it. Not without the other two downstairs."
Both Jacob and Carlisle looked down at Rose who was now unconscious.
"She looks to much like Bella. What about Charlie?"
"Well we'll just have to risk it. Jacob, you need to take her and they'll call me in. You'll need to run, she's bad."
Jacob held the traitor in his arms and sprinted down to the hospital.
"Help. Help. She fell unconscious on the way here."
"Is this Bella?"
"No. Her name is Rosemarie. Just help her."
Just then Rose groaned and the doctor rushed forward.
"Hi. I'm a doctor. You're going to be just fine. Can you tell me what you name is?"
"Didn't I just answer that."
"Yes but I need to hear it from her."
"Rose." she groaned.
"Call Dr. Cullen. He needs to get in right away."
The nurses rushed in behind him calling Dr. Cullen and setting up the OR for Rose.
-
"What do you think they're doing?"
"One of them is a doctor. I guess they're fixing her.""
"God. She looked bad, with all the blood and everything."
