Chapter 2
Bye Bye baby, Hello Strigoi.
"I need help" I choked out.
"Oh. Come in" she ushered me into the house and into the living room. She told me to sit down on the couch and I did and she sat next to me. "What can I do for you" she asked still a bit concerned. I felt a single tear roll down my cheek and I looked down at my sleeping baby. "She needs a family" I whispered.
"But aren't you her mother?" she asked. I just shrugged. "Yes but she's not safe with me. She needs to be in a place where she can grow up happy and not always be in danger" I explained quietly. "But she is your daughter, are you sure that you could do that" she asked. "I have to. It's the only way that she can have a partly normal life" a few more tears slipped from my eyes and I heard someone clear there throat in the door way. I looked up to see Dimitri. Great. I knew he would be here but I was hoping he wouldn't come down. "What's going on" he looked at me concerned. Oh like he cares. "Nothing you need to worry about guardian Belikov" a complete lie of course.
Dimitri had sat down and I had had to tell him that he and Tasha were looking after my daughter. He had seemed shocked at first but accepted it. We had sorted out all the details and we were standing outside and I was saying goodbye to my daughter. "You'll be safe here, I promise. I love you Claudia" I whispered "Goodbye Claw" I said using her nick name.
I felt a familiar nausea feeling roll over me and turned around to see about 5 or 6 strigoi standing there. Before they could see Dimitri ran and put Claw inside because she was asleep and came back and took a defensive stance in front of Tasha. "You stupid Guardian. It's not her we want." He said referring to Tasha. I was shaking in my spot next to Dimitri. He looked confused but then the strigoi smirked at me. "Rose. It's good to see you again" he continued to smirk. "Rose. What is going on" Dimitri asked looking back and forth between me and the Strigoi leader.
"Oh how sweet. You didn't tell them because you don't want them to end up like Derrick" he sneered. "Don't talk about Derrick" I shouted. Derrick was my twin brother I found out about when I found dad. Derrick knew about me and what I was so a Strigoi took him and they tortured him and we think he was then killed because we couldn't find him anywhere.
The strigoi attacked and I staked the one strait away but then three grabbed me and Dimitri tried to help but the remaining Strigoi grabbed Tasha. "You wouldn't want to be doing that. I'll let your charge go if you just leave us to do what we have to do." The Strigoi said. He started to back off away from me. "Don't worry Rose. I'll help you" Dimitri said. "Don't worry about me" I said before the strigoi ran of with me being knocked unconscious.
As soon as I was far enough away I used my elements to kill them all. I was going to go to home to Abe to tell him that I did what I had to do. After that was done I was going to go to court to see what was going on and how everyone was.
