Chapter 4
It seems like I was there for years, but really it had only been a week. Nothing has really changed I was still hurt. They still wouldn't let me leave. I didn't know for sure who they were. But of course I had my suspicions, it was obviously someone I used to know, and that limited the options. They also wouldn't really let me hear there voice, it was always muffled or they were coughing or something whenever they talked. And they didn't really talk very much so it didn't really matter anyways.
I was most curious about why they were taking care of me, it was weird and I couldn't figure it out. Strigoi had no souls so they obviously didn't care who they hurt or if anyone survived. So why were they taking care of me? I had so many questions but none of them were really answered. At least not for a long while.
But it turns out that I was wrong, about two weeks after I woke up, at least I think it was, it's a little hard to keep track of time when you're hidden in a cave away from any other contact. But anyways it turns out that I never knew them, and they weren't a strigoi. When they finally -and accidentally- revealed themselves I discovered that it was a Russian girl named Nika. She was a dhampir and hid in the cave simply so that no one would find us. She said that if anyone had found us, they probably would have been a strigoi and anyone else would have taken me home. She knew why I was in Russia and she wanted to help me. When I asked her how she knew why I was here she avoided my question.
Nika was always vague about her home life, she would never talk about who she grew up with, where she grew up, her family, or anything. She just always left me wondering.
Eventually we became friends but I still didn't really know much about her, so I didn't really tell her much about me. I didn't even really say who I was here to kill, only that it was a strigoi I used to care about. But I think she knew who I was here to kill anyways. It made me anxious so one day I asked her.
"Nika do you know who I'm here to kill" I said "how did you know I was tracking down a strigoi anyways?"
There was a long pause as she carefully considered her answer, then she said "yes I know who you're here to kill… its" she took a deep breath and then continued "my brother Dimitri"
She was Dimitri's sister! He never actually mentioned them by name so I had no way of knowing. That would explain why she wore dark cloths and sunglasses at first. I now realized her eyes were exactly the same shade as Dimitri's and they shared other similar features to. How could I not have seen this before! It was so obvious! Now I felt really dumb.
What was I gonna say to her she was my kind of boyfriends sister, and I was on my way to kill him. Can anyone say awkward.
" I don know what to say Nika, I'm in love with your bother and on my way to kill him. How can you not be furious with me?"
" I know that he loved you to -he wouldn't stop talking about you, it would have been annoying if it wasn't so sweet- and I know that you're doing what he would want you to do. You knew him better than anybody." she didn't even hesitate to say it, and that made me feel a whole lot better.
I was there for two weeks before my health started to improve. Nika said that after four weeks I should be good enough to leave, and do what I wanted I should just be more careful. That made me wonder for the first time what had happened anyways I finally realized that I had no memory of what had happened. I didn't even know the reason why I was here.
"umm… Nika…" I took a deep breath before I continued. "what happened, how did I get hurt?" I was really losing my touch if I had to ask that.
"oh! I thought you knew. I just figured you didn't want to talk about it." she frowned as she thought about what had happened. "a strigoi snuck up on you… just a random strigoi off the street I think and when he realized that you were a dhampir he decided he needed to eliminate you
"I had been following him so I saw him sneak up on you and hit you're head, but I didn't have time to stop him, and you were distracted, it looked like you were talking to someone so you didn't hear him until the last minute and by that time you didn't have time to stop him from hurting you. You passed out but came back quickly… you looked around frantically… like you were looking for someone. that's when I took you here."
Well that made sense I didn't remember because I got hit in the head.
"but what happened to the strigoi that attacked me?" I asked.
"well I took care of him while you were unconscious."
Wow. She thought of everything. She would have been a really good guardian.
When she finally let me go after about a total of four weeks.
"You can do what you want now", Nika said, "I'll help you if you want me to."
"thank you, you can come… but you have to let me…" I considered my words carefully, " finish it."
"of course of that's what you want, if I was in you're position I would have said the exact same thing."
After that we took off to go find Dimitri. God I hope he's in the same place he was four weeks ago.
