ROSES POV
Ok I know I said that I was lucky to be wrapped up in Adrian's arms and how lucky I was to have him and all that but seriously I don't feel so lucky right now when I have to pee and can't move out of his arms. He may be a moroi but he sure had a guardian vice grip on me. I'd been wiggling around in his arms for the past 10 minutes to no avail, id pushed at his arms, id even bitten them to see if that would work..It hadn't, I was now breathless and sweaty, still trapped and bursting for the loo.
"Eurgh Adrian if you don't get off me right now I am going to kick your royal ass"
I was starting to get angry now, he was set on falling to sleep with me in his arms as some sort of protection towards me, I had played along with it for his sake, but this battle every morning to get out of his arms was really starting to piss me off. I breathed out angrily and decided to try a new tactic, moving my legs so that my feet were pressed up against I leaned as far back in his arms as I could, bending my knees at the same time, I took a deep breath and kicked out at Adrian. Unfortunately for him it worked better than I had expected as Adrian's arms became lose and he rolled off the other side of the bed. I couldn't help but burst out laughing at him hit the fall.
"Ooft...shit... what the hell... ROSE!" Adrian shouted my name and jumped up from the side of the bed looking around the room quickly for danger that wasn't there, the expression on his face and his messy hair was priceless; I couldn't help but laugh more.
"ahahahaha... oh Adrian cant you look away im going to pee myself... hahahaha your face is a picture" I clutched onto my stomach and rolled around on the bed trying to breath properly.
"It's not funny rose I thought someone might have found us" Adrian frowned, tossled his hair and lay back down on the bed
"It was hilarious you didn't see your face, beside I had to get out of your arms somehow" wiping my eyes I climbed off the bed and walked towards the toilet still giggling at Adrian mumbling away after me.
20 minutes later I emerged from the bathroom fresh out of the shower and with a very happy bladder. Frowning when I saw the bed empty I went on a wander to find Adrian, stopping at the kitchen on the way to grab some food and orange juice, I wandered outside to see Adrian with a cigarette in hand and looking through some papers again
"I hope that's not a cigarette I see there Mr. Ivashkov" I smirked sliding into the seat next to him
Adrian took one last puff then put the cigarette out "first you kick me out of bed and now you stop me from smoking thanks a lot rose you really have it for me today don't you"
Rolling my eyes I looked at the papers in adrians hand "what's that"
"hmm... oh these are some papers that Sydney sent over, turns out that lissa's dad was making regular payments into a private bank account right up to the day that he died, then after his death a large sum of money, same amount as lissa inherited actually, was deposited for the last time into the bank account. Sydney's trying to gain access to the account for names or even a location that will give somewhere to start. She said if we can find a location then we can find out if there's an academy nearby that they may be going to, the last statements she got from the bank were rather recent she's trying to see when they started as well to give us an idea of age" Adrian explained looking at me
I grinned back "well that's excellent that's the best news that we have..." I trailed off after seeing a tall dark figure move in the bushes just to the left of the balcony. I tensed and shot a panicked look at Adrian who turned quickly to look over his shoulder then back at me
"What is it who did you see"
I shook my head "I don't know I couldn't see their face" I stood up and moved to the edge of the balcony, squinting to try and see further. Adrian came up behind me putting one arm on my shoulder and the other on my waist
"let's get back inside call your father and get out of here, it might just be someone messing around but I don't want to risk you getting caught" Adrian whispered low in my ear, even anyone was looking they would have thought he was kissing my neck
I turned to make it look like I was pressing kiss on Adrian's arm "your right you make the calls ill pack"
Adrian took my hand and we started to turn round. And that's when it happened the person in the bush must have been a distraction for what was behind us because at that moment, what I could only describe as two very blood thirsty strigoi were standing grinning at us just feet away.
"rose how lovely to finally find you" I froze upon hearing them say my name and Adrian protectively put himself in front of me. it was a stupid thing to do, seeing as he had no idea how to fight and how neither of us had a stake on us, they were all in the bedroom in the beside table.
"you stay away from her" Adrian tried to make his voice angry but I could hear the fear underneath it, not for himself but for me.
That's when it all started the strigoi smirked at each other and in a quick movement closed the space between us and them, one of the strigoi picked Adrian up and threw him against the brick wall knocking him out cold. The other strigoi grabbed me by the neck and started lifting me, unlike Adrian though I was stronger and had chance to react, swinging my legs up I kicked as hard as I could against the strigoi's chest causing him to loosen his grip on me, I took the chance to kick out again and use him to flip over and stand up right. I didn't get chance to right myself properly before the first strigoi attacked me and flew back hitting the side of the balcony, id fought strigoi before of course but I usually had a stake one me, I sat up as quickly as I could and made for the chair it was no stake but it was as best as I could get. But again the strigoi were quicker than I was and I felt a blow to my nose before flying back again. blood began to poor from my nose, and I had to blink a couple of time to become right again, I knew then that I didn't stand a chance, because the person that had been in the bush was another strigoi and he had now joined the others making it 3 against one unharmed dhampir.
"what the hell do you want" I seethed trying to buy time
The strigoi laughed "we were sent here to kill you with a very hefty reward to"
"who sent you then I didn't think..." I never got to finish my sentence as the strigoi from the bush, who must have grown tired from the messing around, moved quicker than I could blink to my side lifting me over his head and throwing me against the wall. My eyes burst with black spots and I couldn't see what was going on, I felt Adrian next to me and fumbled to find his hand resting my hand on top of it.
I waited for the killing blow to come but it never did, struggling to open my eyes I tried to look around but everything was blurry.
"rose... rose your safe now ok... rose can you hear me" a familiar voice was taking to me from somewhere next to me and shaking my me but I couldn't respond.
The last thing that I felt was someone lifting me into their arms and carrying me I whispered Adrian's name one last time and then let the darkness take me.
thanks to everyone that read this chap please tell me what you think of it :)
