I smelled the engine burning before I saw the smoke, I cursed loudly waking christian from his slumber; and causing him to hit his head. I laughed and he turned to me with a sour expression "Is there a reason you woke me up or did you miss my gorgeous eyes that much?" He wagged his eyebrows at me Laughing I replied "Oh yes sparky, your eyes are so dreamy and... BLIND!, look at all the smoke. Realization set in his eyes and he reflected my thoughts through his mouth. "Well shit". -
It had been 45 minutes since we called for a tow truck, they cautioned us it could take up to two hours, two hours! I was on high alert not wanting anything to happen to my best friend and money source. I thought over the past 5 years, the trip has taken us so many places, Russia Sweden Germany Greece Romania France, even China. But nowhere kept our interest, we learned every language offered and partied hard, Living life to the fullest, It has been the best 5 years of my life. I was pulled out of my musings by rustling in the bushes, out stepped 5 strigoi. Three were clearly moroi while alive and there was one human one damphir. The leader was tall like all moroi would have been and had dark hair and startling green eyes rimmed in red. I surveyed the area for more threats I saw a man standing to my right but far enough away not to be involved I prepared myself to guard Christian from him as well just in case.
I went through battle strategies and techniques as well as the fastest most efficient way to dispatch the threat. I turned slightly toward Christian and spoke in swedish "När jag ger ordet ljus upp dem", (when I say the word. Light them up) He spoke back without taking his eyes off the threat "Vad är det för ord?" (Whats the word?) I laughed "Bara du skulle skämta just nu." (Only you would joke at a time like this) The leader finally spoke up after a moment of confusion "Well if it isnt the great Rosemarie Hathaway, and her Ozera brat, very careless of you Rose, being out this time of night with a royal and no backup; I will enjoy draining the legendary guardian. I looked at him and laughed loudly "Really? Will you? If you know so much about me you would know I did not reach this legendary status by handing out cookies you fucking idiot, I have killed thousands of your kind, and yet you carelessly step out to be slaughtered by me. You are no more than another mark on my body." That apparently pissed him off and he went into action.
"Nu!" (NOW!) I shouted at christian, Within seconds he had 4 of them lit up save for the leader, I wanted to show him how stupid he really was. I had his 4 cronies down in a matter of a minute. I stepped in front of him in my battle crouch. "Now are you so sure you will be draining me?" For a moment I swear I saw fear in his eyes but he covered it up with brovado. "I will enjoy every drop of your precious blood" "So be it then" I struck out with a speed that he had not been prepared for and hit him in the jaw, He aimed a punch for my stomach but I blocked and got him with a Roundhouse kick to the chest. It went like that for about a minute or two when I finally saw my opening snaking my arm out I staked him quickly and efficiently making sure he was dead before turning toward our bystander.
Takking in his appearance for the first time I noticed he was tall, really tall around 6'4 6'5, He had very short blonde hair and chrystaline blue eyes, not Icy blue like christians but a blue much more pure and stunning, he was wearing a very nice, I would guess expensive suite tailor made for sure. When I Finished surveying him I noticed he was doing the same, Smiling internally I finally broke the silence "Would you care to join them? Or are you just interested in grown men be beat up by little ol' me?" He smirked "Actually I am not interested in joining your pile of bodies over there, and it was quite entertaining, I was actually here to kill them myself but since it has been done for me I have no reason to get messy He flashed me a smile "Really? well your definitely not human, nor a Damphir. So Im going to assume you are one of the other vampires?" He regarded me closely "Other vampires?" Thats when I remember that just because we had knowledge of them didnt necessarily mean they knew about us. I closed the distance between us and reached my hand out "Rose Hathaway" He gripped it and nodded to Christian "Eric, Eric Northman." I giggled, I know right, Rose hathaway giggled? "Do you always introduce yourself in a "James bond manner" Hi im Eric, Eric Northman.. All you lacked was the wagging of your eyebrows. He laughed. "Yes Im guessing seduceing you isnt quite the same as it is with the other breathers is it? Thats when christian stepped in "Seduce Rose? The queen of seduction. good luck buddy" Laughing for a moment I saw lights "Well look who finally showed up!"
I was so excited to finally make it to a motel for the night and freshen up. Eric noticed the tow truck and the broke down car and motioned to it as he spoke "Do you two need a place to stay?" I studied him a bit closer he didnt seem like a threat but I would stay on my guard anyway. "Actually yes we do". He simply nodded and walked with us toward the tow truck. I have to make a call just give me a moment I told the two men. I quickly dialed the number I knew by heart by now I told Sydney how many and where and she said she would have someone in the area take care of them. I made my way back over to the two men and saw they were laughing. "Whats so funny?" For some reason I felt like I was being laughed AT not WITH. Christian chuckled a bit more and said "Oh I was just filling Eric in on when we were learning swedish and instead of saying I am sorry to that lady you said I am pig." I laughed too that had been funny, she looked at me like I was insane.
Just as the tow truck pulled away a blonde female pulled up in a red corvette and a dark haired asian male pulled up behind her in a black ferarri. I whistled circling the corvette, and eric smirked. "Rose, Christian this is my progeny Pamela and my business partner Chow" I nodded at both of them, they had a short conversation in old swedish assuming I didnt understand. After Pam made her way toward the ferarri and Eric made his way toward the vette'. Chow darted into the woods im assuming to go home. Christian you will be going with Pam Rose will ride with me. I was wary I looked at pam and sqaured my shoulders surprising her speaking in old swedish. "Om ens ett hår på hans huvud är på sin plats Jag ska döda din skapare långsamt och plågsamt, då kommer jag till dig och få dig att tigga om döden gör jag mig klar?" (If even a hair on his head is out of place I will kill your maker slowly and painfully, then I will come for you and I will make you beg for death before you recieve it. Are we clear?)
Her surprise was replaced by fury but a sharp yell from Eric made her demeaner change. "Crystal" She said sarcastically. I smirked "I think we might get along quite well" She actually smiled and I looked at christian speaking romanian "Vei fi Sparkles bine?" (will you be okay sparkles?) He laughed "Voi fi în regim de strânsă cu un vampir blonda fierbinte fi bolnav mai mult de am endă" (I will be in close confinement with a hot blonde vampire, Ill be more than fine") He wagged his eyebrows. I laughed. Eric looked at me again and took my hand leading me around the car and opening the door for me "Then it is settled we will see you two tomorrow evening." I leaned closer to him my breath tickling his ear, I inwardly smiled when I felt him shudder. "I meant every word I said to her" I spoke slowly, seductively. He whispered back "Oh I know you did, It was down right sexy" He flashed me a grin shut the door and made his way around to his side. He got in turned the key and I smiled widely as I heard the engine purr. "Oh I think Im going to like it here" I said as we sped off into the night.
