Chapter one
Rose point of view
I could scream. I feel happiness bubbling in me like a boiling pot about to over flow. Dimitri and I are finally together. We finally accepted each other's feelings.
It has been about a week since the attack. All the guardians are still on high alert. They say now that strigio have lowered our numbers and became familiar with school grounds it is perfect time for another attack.
Right now I'm in Dimitri's arms we're in the gym having just done some sparing.
"You know I love you Roza" he whispers
"I love you too."
Suddenly Alberta comes bursting through the doors. Dimitri lets go of me but Alberta doesn't seem to mind.
"Buria!" she gasps
I would know that word anywhere. It's the Russian word for storm and it means the strigo are back. I pull my stake from my back pocket and Dimitri does the same. They will regret even being born.
Dimitri and I race out into the crowd of guardians and strigo. They instantly come at us and I see 5 go at Dimitri. I get three and take them down easily thanks to Dimitri's training.
I quickly glance to my left to see if Dimitri ok and find him doing the same. Suddenly something grips me and throws me head first onto a rock.
I can see Dimitri taking down the strigo and racing over to me. It hurt. It hurts so badly. I feel myself slipping into darkness.
"It's ok Roza I promise" Dimitri whispers before I black out
