A DIFFERENT FATE- CHAPTER TWO
RPOV
It was dark.
The last thing I remember was screaming for Dimitri's name as the blond strigoi dragged me back into the caves. Then I blacked out.
I knew I was moving. That much was obvious. 'I am in a car,' I thought to myself. I could hear engine roaring. My hands and feet also seemed to be tied and I couldn't feel my stake. 'Great, how am I meant to fight when my arms and legs are tied and I have now weapon.
I could tell we were turning and I could hear the sound of gravel crunching under the tires of the car.
After about a minute or so I felt the car come to a halt and felt myself being lifted out of the car by to strong and most defiantly the blond strigoi's arms. It seemed as if he was carrying me forever but that could have been my lack of grasp on the outside world. He laid me down on a very uncomfortable cot and untied my hands. 'Yes now that I can move I can attack him,' I thought but I couldn't seem to move any part of my body. He then re-tied my hands but to the posts of the cot so I was in the shape of an X.
"We wouldn't want you to go on a rampage when you awaken now would we?" he whispers into my ear.
'What the hell does he mean?' I think to myself and then it all clicks, 'They're going to turn me into a strigoi.'
SHIT!
DPOV
The night had ended and the sun was shining brightly as all the Moroi slept and us guardians prepared for the task ahead.
We were going back to the caves.
We were going back for a few reasons. One we needed to collect the bodies. Two we need to see if there were anymore strigoi hiding and if so kill them. Three we wanted to see if there were any survivors on our side there.
I was hoping that Rose would be there.
This brings my thoughts back to what I had to do.
I have to tell Lissa that Rose was gone. But that was only if we found her dead body.
I had multiple different plans for different situations.
If Rose's body was found I would have to tell Lissa that her best friend was dead and then I would go cry my eyes out (This may not sound very manly but I knew I would. I had already done it twice since Rose was taken).
If Rose was found alive then I would never ever let her out of my sight again and I would find a way to spend the rest of my life with her.
If Rose's body was not found I had to keep the promise I made to her. Find her and plunge a silver stake into her heart, if she was strigoi. If I found her and she wasn't a strigoi I would make sure she got home safely.
We were finally entering the caves and everybody was picking up the bodies of the dead.
I wasn't though.
I was searching.
I couldn't find her, or her body.
I asked everybody that went into the caves. They all just gave me sad looks and a shake of the head.
It looked like I was taking an extended trip.
To find Rose.
And if she was alive I would save her and bring her home.
If she was strigoi...well.
I would have to plunge a stake into the heart of my soul mate.
