Chapter 2: Bad feelings and getting found.

After getting in and getting settled, they made dinner and decided to watch a bit of TV.

Lisa was woken from her nap by someone shaking her arm. 'Lisa, Lisa wake up. Your having a bad dream Liss, Wake up.'

Lisa startled awake and began to look around the room. 'God.' she replied while rubbing her face with her hands. 'what time is it?'

'It's nearly midnight. We must have dropped off while watching TV.' Rose told Lisa while making her way over to the slightly open window where the cat was sat looking out and hissing. 'whats Wrong with you?' she asked the cat while looking out of the window. Something must have got Rose's attention because she become tense and hurriedly shut the window and locked it and drew the curtains.

'Whats Wrong?' Lisa grabbed Rose's arm and turned her so she could see her face. 'Rose whats out there? What did you see?'

Rose meet Lisa's eyes 'Guardians. They found us.' she began looking round the room then back to Lisa. 'Right this is what were going to do Liss. I want you to get your trainer on and a coat OK I'm going to go grab the emergency rucksack from under my bed then were going to make a run for it. We need to do this Now Lisa and you need to follow everything I say OK?'

Lisa was still nodding while Rose left the room to go collect her stuff she needed and Lisa went to collect her coat and put her trainers on.

Once both girls were sorted Rose took hold of Lisa hand and made her way around the living room turning the TV off and all the lights.

'What are you doing Rose they'll know were leaving if you turn all the lights off.'

'No they wont. While I was getting the stuff we need I drew the bedroom curtains and put the TV on so it looks like we have gone to bed.' Rose told Lisa while they exited the living room and making there way to the front door. Rose had her hand on the door lock when she turned her head to talk. 'Right Liss this is what we are going to do. Were going to make our way up to the roof and across to the next building and keep going till we get as far as we can then were going to go down the fire escape. There we are going to make out way to Josh's car that's parked a few blocks down.'

Lisa nodded her head and rose opened the door and took Lisa's hand and they made there way across to the stair well. Rose put her finger to her lips and open the stair well door and enter checking to see if she could sense or see anyone. After a quick check they made there way up 20 flights to the roof and began to make there way north across the roof. Once they had made there way across the roofs as far as they could go Rose told Lisa to stay low and they made there way over to the fire escape and began to climb down till they reached the bottom where Rose grabbed Lisa's hand again and they began to silently run north towards north street where the car was parked.

They were just about to run from the ally towards the car when Rose saw a shadow move. She pulled Lisa back and moved her behind her back.

Rose watched as a second shadow moved to stand next to the first and could hear with her sensitive hearing the sound of running footsteps coming from the way they had just come.

'Shit, Lisa were going to have to make a run for the car. Its on the next street. There are two guardians across the road and if we don't take our chance now there's going to be a lot more coming up right the way we just come in around three minutes. On my signal we make a run for it.' rose whispered so low Lisa could only just Hear.

'OK but whats the signal?'

Rose throw a smile over he shoulder at Lisa and replied 'oh you will know it when you see it.'

Then turned her eyes back towards the road. With in seconds the motorbike parked near the two shadows in the ally across exploded in to flames throwing the now visible guardians in the the wall and knocking them out.

'Run.' rose told Lisa while throwing fire at the dumpster behind them then started to follow Lisa across the road and past the down guardians. They could see Josh's car parked at the end. Rose could tell the running she could hear had sped up and would be there soon. As they were running she pulled the keys out of her pocket and pressed the lock opened on the keys when a guardian step out.

'Stop.'

Lisa started to slow down to stop when Rose past her telling her to keep going and to get in the car and throw the keys and rucksack at her.

Rose ran as hard as she could at the guardian in her way and throw her self at him causing them both to go tumbling to the ground where the guardian landed with a painful crack followed by a whine in pain. Rose then punched him as hard as she could in the nose and kneed him in the balls before pulling her self up and making her way to Lisa who was next to the car.

'Are you ok.' Lisa Asked looking at Rose who was holding her ribs.

'Ye Lisa never better just a little winded that all. Now pass me the keys and get in the car please.'

Lisa passed her the keys 'I can drive if you want? And was there really any need to knee the poor man in the You Know what.'

'No ill drive its fine Liss and yes there was a need that blow alone should keep him down for the next 5 minutes at least. I know it was a dirty shot but desperate times.' she said while putting the backpack on the back seat. She made her way around the car and got in locked the doors, started the engine and got to the bottom of the ally just as someone stepped out in front of the car.

Rose could tell by the mans build that he was a dhampir and if he wasn't in there way she would have said he was very good looking.

'Rose there is people coming from the other end of the ally. There moving quite fast towards us. What do we do?' Lisa asked sounding panicked.

Rose never took her eyes of the guardian that was stud in there way when she answered 'im going to unlock the doors and I want you to lock the doors and climb in to the drivers seat and when hes out of the way drive. I will phone you and meet you somewhere ok? You don't stop for anyone Lisa do you understand?'

'Ye I understand.'

Rose unlocked her seat belt and doors and climbed out of the car and took up a defense stand.

'Move out of the way now.' she shouted at him.

She could also hear what must be at least half a doses if not more slowing footsteps drawing around them.

He just put his hands in front of himself and kept watching her.

She could tell the others had had stopped and had spread them self's out.

'Leave us alone.' she growled at him 'Move.'

Keeping his hands in front of him he took a step towards Rose. 'I'm not going to..'

Rose attacked him but he was faster then the others and manage to deflect her attack throwing her backwards. She managed to just stop her self from falling.

Rose started to back up to attack him again but this time with an element when she hared the car door open and Lisa's voice.

'Rose don't.' making her way towards rose and grabbing her arm before she could do any damage. 'don't do it. Calm down.' making rose look at her. After a minute Rose nodded her head and put her hands down by her sides.

Sensing her resignation he took a step forward towards them and bowed. Directing his eyes at Lisa 'Princess Dragomir.' then at Rose 'Princess Mazur Dragomir. My name is Dimitri Belikov we have come to take you both back to St Vladimir's academy.'
