Chapter Two: One word: Crap
Rose
Six Strigoi were on me, six on Dimitri and Viktoria. Of course, I was the one guarding the Queen. Viktoria and Dimitri were with Ari"Is this the Dark Beauty? I thought she'd be at least thirty. But, of course, the prophecy stated that she would be young and beautiful. I should have guessed it would have been Rose Hathaway." he had a sneer in his voice I didn't like. Again, the burning sensation. The six closed in around us. Rose, use your powers. Lissa said through the bond. I can't; It might hurt you. Do it before it's too late! I realized that the Strigoi were getting too close. I squeezed my eyes shut and let the burning sensation grow stronger. I opened my eyes, and I saw a sharp piece of wood nearby. I used my powers to pick the stick up and thrust through the leader Strigoi's heart. He crumpled to the ground, down for at least five minutes. Lissa screamed at the blood. I used my body to shield her as the other five Strigoi attacked. I kicked the Strigoi closest to me and staked him. I turned around and instantly killed the Strigoi that was moving in on Lissa. I did a roundhouse kick on one of them that was coming straight on. I punched the one on the right of me. He stumbled, and I staked him. Two more. I focused on the one that was closest to Lissa. I did a side kick right on his chest, sending him stumbling. The one that was coming straight on hit my head hard. My head shot to the side as Lissa screamed. Luckily, I caught sight of the car's window and broke it with my powers. I focused the biggest piece of glass, and shot it into the Strigoi's heart. I knew I'd hit my target when she screamed and dropped to the floor. One more. This one was old and dangerous. I gestured Lissa over to Viktoria who was willing her to come over. Lissa nodded and sprinted over. Viktoria put her in the car, and came over to help me. My eyes were black—I knew by the way she looked at me. "Rose, your…" "Focus; we need to dispatch this guy as soon as possible," The old guy laughed, but it was cold, empty. Dimitri came over then. The guy's laugh died out. We all circled, and attacked.
This guy was good, really good. He took Viktoria down with two moves. "Viktoria!" I yelled. But it was too late. His fangs had slipped into her neck. Dimitri went crazy then, fighting with blind rage. He attacked, yanking Viktoria out of his grasp. I caught her before her head hit the floor. I laid her down carefully. Then I glared at the Strigoi. The black mist that I haven't seen ever since it attacked Tasha, made its way to the Strigoi. It consumed him. He shrieked. Dimitri stopped his attack and glanced back at me, where the Strigoi was staring. "Victor will not rest until he has the Dark Beauty," were his last words. The Strigoi collapsed, dead. I was completely drained of energy. I swayed a little. Dimitri came over and picked Viktoria up. He sprinted to the car, and I followed as fast as I could—which wasn't that fast since I just killed a Strigoi with my hands down.
On the way back, Lissa healed Viktoria. She's sleeping now. Ari was still in tears. She was traumatized by all the blood and violence that had taken place. It made me sad that she had been scarred so young. I held onto her shaking frame. Her tears had soaked my shirt, but I didn't care. Frankly, I was surprised she had any tears left. Lissa was rubbing her back, trying to comfort her, even though she was a little shaken up too.
We were at home quickly. I carried Ari up the steps and through the door. Christian realized something was wrong right when I walked through the door. Lissa walked through next, then Dimitri, carrying his little sister. He set her down on the couch, draping a blanket over her. "What happened?" Christian whispered to me. I could see why he'd chosen me to talk to. Lissa was holding a crying Ari, and Dimitri…Well, it didn't seem like a good time to ask him that question. "Strigoi attacked. Twelve of them. It was six on me, six on Vikki, Dimitri, and Ari. I had Lissa with me. Short version, Vikki got bit, and it was Ari's first look at the undead. I'm going to call Olena," Christian nodded and went over to help with Ari. Lissa's kids were already in bed and asleep.
"Hello?" asked a Russian accent. "Hey, Olena. It's Rose. You need to get over here," I told her. "Is something wrong?" I just told her I'd tell her when she got here. A couple minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Dimitri started to go into attack mode, when I just motioned him down. I opened the door to see Karolina and Sonya, Dimitri's older sisters, Yeva, and Olena. "Come in." I told them, holding the door open a little more. They walked in, took one look at Viktoria and went over to her. "What happened?" Karolina asked. She had her guardian mask on, ready for anything. "Well, we were at the mall and twelve Strigoi attacked." Olena, Karolina, and Sonya gasped. "We managed to kill all of them, but in the process, Vikki got bitten. She didn't lose too much blood, but she's been sleeping for a while. Lissa had healed her right when we got back in the car." They nodded, and went by Dimitri. "We need to take her to the clinic," Olena said. Dimitri nodded and picked her up. I stayed with the Moroi and Ari. I took Ari into the kid's bedroom and set her next to Melanie. She was scared, so I left the room light on. Lissa was there when I shut the door. "Are you okay?" she asked. I nodded. "I'm just drained. I don't know what happened, but I killed a Strigoi by just staring at it. Remember the black mist?" She nodded. I'd told her about what happened with Tasha. "Well, that's what killed the Strigoi. Is it okay if we stay here for the night?" She just nodded. "You know you can stay here as long as you want." she said. I nodded and followed her into the bedroom. We changed into pajamas and jumped into bed. We both fell asleep quickly. I just hope I won't have any nightmares tonight…
Another one done! More soon!
All the best,
