Gabriella and Dimitri kept walking fast. I hated that last visit to Kirova's office cause she stared at me the whole time. Dimitri was chatting to his sister as she continued to laugh.
I went to bed that night thinking of ways for Dimitri's attention to fall to me. Maybe a strigoi attack could trigger his attention. I couldn't say out loud my thoughts cause I shared a room with yours truly Gabriella. Instead of thinking up plans I read a book about powerful guardians and their strategies.
I woke to find a guy grinning over my bed, and on the floor lay a body. I screamed but no one could hear me. Suddenly Gabriella woke up, grabbed her stake and stabbed my almost killer!! I was still freaking out. The body lay on the ground. I suddenly fainted. I woke to find Gabriella shaking me to wake. I turned my attention to the body on the ground yet again. She picked up the body and threw it out the window.
"Stay here, don't leave I'll just burn the body."
She rushed out the door. Seconds later I smelt smoke. I ran to my window and in the distance I saw Gabriella ripping the body into pieces and burning them. I gulped. When that strigoi looked down at me I thought of Dimitri. He did look like him. Gabriella came back after ten minutes.
"Stupid strigoi, they shouldn't come when I'm around!"
"Are there any more?" I asked.
"Well when I was in the woods I found another but I killed that. And according to my senses there should be another one out there."
I was freaking out now.
"The first strigoi you killed, that looked like Dimitri." I said to her.
"Yeah, that was our older cousin Alex."
