Chapter Two

Rose's POV

"What the hell is wrong with you!" I demand as he looks to my friends. Again, he ignores me. I swear to God that when I get out of here I'm going to kick his ass then have Christain set him on fire and then stake him. While I continue to think of a list of all the the things that I would enjoy doing to him right now, Dimitri looks really mad.

"I don't want to play a game, though you sound kind of like that guy from Saw when you say that," Christain says, I roll my eyes. I don't feel tired anymore, I guess it was just the after effects of the pain.

"Distracted much Sparky?" I say, letting out some not nice cuss words when the temperature starts to drop. It was pretty warm in here a minute ago but now it's cold as fuck.

"I don't think you have much of a choice," the man says. The screen goes black and I'm waiting here, bored as fuck, wondering what the hell to do now. This just isn't fun though I didn't really exspect it to be.

Dimitri's POV

This man pisses me off. He threatens Rose, then wants us to play a game to amuse him. Well then, lets play. He's gonna lose. He's standing inbetween me and my Roza and thats something you don't do.

"Are we allowed to use what resources we have?" Christain asks, and I almost crack a smile because we all know that he just wants to catch someone on fire.

"I guess, but only to make the game fair," the man is convinced that we are going to lose. The Moroi may have some issues with this game but Eddie is a Guardian in training and I'm a Guardian. I won't lose. Not with so much on the line.

We get a five minute head start, which is really cheesy. I would of laughed but I don't have time for that. We all split off. I make sure to keep close to the wall and keep my ears and eyes open at all times. This isn't a game, it's a life or death situation.

I think back to what I saw on screen. Rose was somewhere underground, given the looks of the room and lack of windows so I set off to find some stairs. When I find them, I've just barely been able to avoid three Strogoi. I hid in side some of the doors on the hall. They're kind of cocky so they didn't think to look in them apparently.

I head down them quietly. I stop at each door and listen silently. I can tell when I find Rose because of the never ending stream of cuss words. For a second, I'm glad I didn't teach her how to cuss in Russian. It would make this much longer. I have a second to think that there's probably someone patrolling when I turn to see the Strogoi who hurt Rose turning the cornor.

Before she has time to react, I snap her neck. It only stuns them, not killing them. I open the door and slip in. The man is there and Rose looks pale and tired. She's not struggling against the chains though so that's good. She'll need her strength.

"Your good. Well you get to leave then," the man says. I look at him expectantly but am confused when he doesn't move to free Rose.

"You said we could leave. So let her go," I say. Rose looks up and her expression is sad.

"As I was just telling Rosemarie, I said whoever found her could leave. I never said you could all leave," the man says, obviously amused. I freeze, my muscles clenched in anger.

"You bastard," I say through clenched teeth.

"Soya, if you would please escort Mr. Belikov out," the man says, not liking my language. The woman grabs me and I struggle to get free.

"Rose! Roza!" I shout, not able to think clearly. I'd been tricked and now I was leaving Rose here with that bastard! I'm thrown out of whatever the place is. I turn and memorize what the place looks like and set off to find a way to a city where I can call the Guardians. Staging a rescue by myself will only result in all of us being killed.

Christain's POV

We were all caught besides Belikov. He was the only one who could of made it anyway. The TV is back on and Rose is looking down at the ground, looking sad. If not for the situation, I would of let off a smartass remark.

"Rose, are you okay?" Lissa asks, ever the worrier.

"Dimitri made it here," Rose says quietly. Adrian stands and walks forward. He is the most sober I've ever seen him. It's almost scary.

"Of course craddle robber did. He's a badass," Adrain says. I roll my eyes at his statement. We all knew that Rose and Dimitri were in love.

"So when do we get out of this shit hole?" I ask. Lissa frowns at my language. Rose's expression doesn't change.

"We don't. You were all tricked. He meant that whoever found me could leave, not that we could all leave," Rose says, her eyes sadder than I've ever seen," They dragged him out."

"Well... shit," I say, pissed.

"What do we do now?" Lissa asks. Her voice makes me turn and wrap my arm around her.

"I don't know Liss. I just don't know," Rose says. She sort of slumps against the wall, her eyes vacant as she stares off into space. I raise my eyebrows.
