Rose POV
I waited silently from the shadows as I waited for night to fall on Novosibirsk. The sun was setting and the darkness was closing in, but it wasn't fast enough.
I was impatient. I wanted to go. But as Dimitri constantly reminded me; impatience was a thing that could get you killed. It was best to wait for the opportune moment.
So I waited.
When it was finally dark I stepped out from the shadows and into the street light. Anyone who would have seen me walking along the road would have seen a young girl dressed in black, with long dark hair creating shadows around her face, hiding her eyes. What most people wouldn't have seen was the blood stains down her front.
I turned a corner and came out on a busy street. I lights were much brighter here, so I had to be careful to keep my head down. I didn't want to be recognised.
I stood hidden in the crowd, always keeping one eye on a particular club.
I watched as a young couple came out. The girl looked about my age, but the guy looked older and he was much taller. The guy had his arm around the girl and he was talking to her. It was obvious they were tourists.
I followed them as they walked, keeping my footsteps silent. I didn't know exactly where they were going but from what I could pick up they were staying in a hotel somewhere around here.
I followed them away from the crowds, staying a good distance behind. I smiled to myself; they were just where I wanted them. Keeping to the shadows, I started to laugh. It wasn't a friendly laugh, but it wasn't an evil laugh either.
"What was that?" asked the girl, turning around. I couldn't quite catch her accent, Australian maybe?
"I didn't hear anything" said the guy. His arm was still over the girl, but it was more protective now; he was worried.
They kept walking, a bit faster now.
"I'm going to kill you!" I sang slowly.
"Did you hear that!" shouted the girl.
"Yeah, but don't worry baby, I'll protec-"
He was cut off when I jumped out of the shadows and covered his mouth with my hand and bit into his neck. The girl screamed. I hate it when they scream.
I dropped the guy. I couldn't see his face, but I knew that the endorphins had already kicked in and he was in perfect bliss.
"As you can see" I shouted at her, revealing my fangs and glaring at her with my red eyes "He's clearly not in pain. Now, if you promise to sit there quietly and watch, I won't hurt you. Understand?"
She nodded and watched as I picked up the guy and bit into him again. I heard the girl whimper, but I ignored her. The guy's warm blood slide down my throat and I loved it as much as he loved the endorphins.
The feeling of taking a life. Of drinking his life away. It was amazing; it made me feel so much stronger. I think one of my favourite things was that I knew he was enjoying it. That he was enjoying me killing him.
When I finished I dumped his body on the ground and turned to face the girl. Blood was dripping off my chin and I was covered in blood.
"You said you wouldn't hurt me!" she cried.
"Trust me," I smiled. "This won't hurt a bit."
Dimitri POV
Six more hours.
Just six more hours and it would all be over. No more sneaking around in the light, no more lying, no more planning in secret, but best of all, no more Galina. We would finally be rid of her – no longer under her control.
I leaned back, kicking my feet up on the desk as my hands rested behind my head. Now all we had to do was wait for the sun to rise. But I still had six hours to kill. Killing people was an easy deed for me, but time? That was an entirely new story.
I'd already re-read my western novels enough times to lose interest in them and the only other books lying around this place were the 'Twilight' series that Galina had taken to reading. Rose had told me that she'd seen the movie once, apparently it had to do with vampires.
Vampires that sparkled in the sun.
Don't get me wrong, I was very open-minded. I supposed I had to be with all the bizarre things that had happened to Rose as a dhampir, but honestly, sparkling vampires? I'd rather scratch myself with a silver stake than sparkle.
So basically, reading wasn't an option right now. My other usual option was Rose. Turning strigoi may have changed us in a lot of ways, but the connection between us still stayed the same. Conversing with her was still light and easy. Unfortunately for me, I'd sent her out to go hunting while I stayed back and figured out the rest of out plan. Feeding wasn't too much of an issue for me at the moment seeing as I had already fed this morning but I wanted Rose be strong for the fight.
Our plan was quite simple really. Galina would be up in her room, watching Twilight with Rose when I would bust the door down and attack. While I distracted her, Rose would try to cuff her. Galina couldn't take both of us on at once. Once she was cuffed, Rose would carefully fling her out into the sunlight, making sure that the sunlight didn't touch either her or me.
Like I said, simple.
If anyone else knew about what Rose and I had planned, they probably would have thought we attempting the impossible. It wasn't the idea of bringing Galina down that was impossible, it was the idea of having Rose help me.
After weeks of being Strigoi, the others still underestimated Rose because of how much trouble she had with the transition. Unable to seek the sunlight anymore, nor feel her best friend's emotions in her head, Rose had in a way gone crazy. She hadn't been able to handle it for quite some time at the beginning. It was only my continuous urging and complete faith and support that got her through it in the end. She was way past her issues now but the others still didn't take her seriously. After tonight they would see Rose for what she truly was:
Powerful.
Galina POV
"Ohmigosh!" I squealed out to no one in particular. I couldn't help it; I was just so excited. Rose had asked of she could watch Twilight with me tonight. Tonight would be the first time someone would watch it with me. At first I had to keep up the act of being a tough ass leader by acting uninterested but I realised she actually was genuine once she began rambling on about being Team Jacob. Personally, I'm Team Jacob. I knew that Rose would keep my Twilight fascination a secret because she was in the same boat as me.
I loaded the six-disc DVD player with Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse and began fluffing up my pillows. A knock on the door pulled at my attention.
"Who's there?" I called out, making sure to use my cold tone.
"It's Rose. We're still watching Twilight, yeah?"
"Yes! Of course! Come in!"
She walked in, closing the door behind. Smiling, she came over to me and handed me some fabric. I looked up at her confused.
"It's a Team Jacob shirt," she explained. "A bit like mine."
I glanced down at her attire for the first time. She wore a black T-shirt with 'Team Jacob – Because dogs are better than the dead' written on it. Next to the text was a werewolf, howling into the sky. Her bottoms were just a pair of dark blue skinny jeans.
"I hope the dead part doesn't offend you, Galina," Rose spoke up. I turned my attention back to her and smiled in a way that I knew my fangs would show a bit.
"Not at all, Rose. I'll tell you a secret, I'd take being a werewolf over being a vampire any day."
Rose smiled. "Me too."
After I changed into the T-shit Rose gave me, we settled on my bed and began out Twilight marathon. It was about two-thirds through the first movie when my door burst open. Alarmed, I stumbled up at full Strigoi speed but I wasn't expecting what happened next.
Dimitri flung himself at me, throwing a right hook at me. I only just managed to block weakly, letting him gain the upper hand. What the hell was going on? And why wasn't Rose helping me?
"Rose!" I yelled out before dodging a punch and sending a roundhouse kick.
From the corned of my eye I saw Rose approaching me. I let out a sigh of relief. Thank evilness she was doing something. Knowing Rose had my back, I turned my focus fully onto Dimitri. That bastard. I really had taught him well.
As I pulled back my fist to punch him, something clicked around my other wrist. I looked down quickly and felt something snap around my other wrist.
Handcuffs.
Rose had fucking put handcuffs on me – and not the kinky kind either. She rapidly applied some duct tape across my lips. I looked up to her questioningly, feeling betrayed. I had been nothing but good to her.
She grinned at me wickedly before going to stand beside Dimitri who slipped an arm around her waist and pulled her close. She leaned up and placed a chaste kiss on his neck. Dimitri grinned down at her.
"Good job, Roza," he told and pressed his lips to hers.
I struggled in my cuffs, trying to break through them. They must have been unique ones because I usually had no trouble breaking out cuffs.
"So what now?" Rose asked Dimitri.
"Now, we get to watch her burn in the sun," he told her with a wicked grin that matched him perfectly.
"Cool."
Tasha POV
Love.
Such an ugly word filled with malice and bitterness. I wasn't like this before, but after Lissa told me about his secret affair, I wanted nothing more than to kill that bastard. Why would he something like that? I'd known Dimka such a long time, and I also knew that he wasn't a fool.
Rose must have seduced him, I decided. I'll admit, she had a great body and knowing her, she probably used it for her advantage. All dhampir girls did, it was in there blood.
I shook myself out of my annoying thoughts. I so didn't need to be focusing on my crush and his stupid – and not to mention illegal - little affair. Instead, I focused on the five coloured ribbons hanging from my ceiling. Red, aqua, violet, yellow and green.
Focusing my energy, I flicked my wrist out towards the first ribbon – the red one. Flames engulfed it wholly and within seconds, the ribbon ceased to exist. I grinned for a moment before moving onto the next ribbon. When all of them had been burned, I stepped back and collapsed on my leather couch. It had only been five ribbons but the energy and focus needed to burn them so accurately was ridiculous. It was the price I had to pay if I was to keep practicing my magic.
I was worried about Dimka, so, so insanely worried. He may not have been the first man that I had fallen in love with, but he had been one of them. I was mad at him, definitely, but I still worried even though he wasn't my priority anymore.
At the moment, Christian was my priority and perhaps Lissa too. I wouldn't allow anything happen to either of them. No one was to harm them – not even Dimka. He was one of the reasons that I had taken to practicing offensive magic more often.
Dimka was good as a Guardian; better than anyone else I had ever known so being Strigoi would have made him so much better. I knew Dimka and I knew that he would return. He would be back to take Lissa - The last Dragomir - but Dimka had forgotten one thing . . .
I wouldn't let him.
Eddie POV
I knocked on the door. I felt kind of awkward with the flowers and chocolate I was holding.
"Come in!" shouted a voice I knew and loved.
I opened the door and stepped inside.
"Hey, Mia!" I shouted.
"Eddie!" Mia came running into the room. "Aww, you bought flowers!"
"And chocolate," I added.
"So, what movie do you want to see?" she asked me. We had previously planned to go into the closest town and see a new movie.
"I dunno if I feel like going out anymore. Can't we just hang here?"
Mia frowned. "No, my dad will be home soon. Why don't you wanna go? What's wrong?"
"I just feel really tired," I sighed "I mean, we're doing field experience at the Academy and I'm supposed to stick with Lissa, but half the time I can't even find her, because she's run off with Avery. I've had like five detentions for not 'protecting' her. And she doesn't even care about getting me into trouble," I paused and looked down. "I thought we were friends."
Mia looked at me, no longer smiling.
"Then there's Rose," I told her, "The last time anyone heard from her, she had those bite marks and that was ages ago."
"I've heard that they're going to pronounce Rose as dead if she doesn't get back by graduation," said Mia, barely whispering
"Graduation," I sighed.
"You'll be fine," Mia told me. "No, you'll be better than fine, you'll be great, fantastic!"
"Doubt it. I hardly do any training anymore."
"You do lots of training."
"Not enough." I shook head
"You know what you need?"
"What?"
"A night out! Come on, it'll be fun!" laughed Mia
I smiled. "A night out, or a night out with you."
"A night out with me" she sang. "To just get away from all that stress."
Mia started rubbing my shoulders.
"And maybe later," she whispered in ear, "We can have some fun of our own."
She kissed me, and I couldn't help but to kiss her back.
"Okay, I give in! I'll go," I laughed. "But on one condition."
"Let's hear it."
"We're going to a drive in movie."
Janine POV
"Okay, thanks. Well, call me if you find anything new," I sighed as I hung up the phone.
Who could have guessed that losing my daughter would bring Abe and I closer together.
Abe had called me to tell me that no one under the name 'Rose Hathaway' had boarded a flight back to the US. I wasn't sure how Abe had found that out, but I was guessing it was illegal.
I sat back down on my bed, I couldn't believe it. I was spending my day off worrying about my daughter. I was practically forced to take a break. I didn't want a break; they give you time to think. When I'm working I only think about my job, it was part of the reason I - as Rose would put it – "shipped her away".
I wasn't worried about Rose. I had no idea where she was, but it wasn't the first time and I guessed it wouldn't be the last. The last time Rose decided to go off on her own she took Lissa with her; which was an incredibly stupid and dangerous idea. At least this time she decided not to endanger the last Dragomir.
Then there was the bite marks. No one knew exactly how she got them. But I had a good idea. Rose had gotten sick of being responsible, not that she was ever very good at it. Rose had become a blood-whore. A worthless, selfish blood-whore. I was so ashamed. My daughter was a blood-whore.
There were other possibilities of course. She could have been attacked by Strigoi, she could be Strigoi.
Secretly, I hoped she was dead. I know how cruel that sounds, but as a mother and a respected guardian I would much rather Rose be dead, than for her to be a blood-whore or a Strigoi.
I wish I could go after Rose but it would have meant ignoring my duties as a guardian. If I did that, I would be no better than Rose.
We don't write for reviews, but they are nice.
Also, can you please review to tell us which POV's you liked best so we know which ones to write for future chapters!
