This is Lissa POV of VA 20/21. I know I usually do it in Rose POV but I thought it would be better in Lissa POV. I'm doing Rose POV of her events right now. I pinky-swear.
If you love/hate me, leave a review. If you don't care, leave a review. You get the gist, just leave a review. Please.
I sat in the chapel, mindlessly playing with the edge of a box. I jumped when I heard a clattering below me. I grabbed the nearest book and clocked the person who was coming up in the head. They crumpled and I heard Christian swear before I heard a thwack.
'Oops.' I giggled, peering down the stairs. Christian lay at the bottom, his arms and legs sprawled in a rather unattractive fashion. I edged down the stairs, expecting him to jump up and eat my foot or something. When I finally touched down, I sighed in relief and sat at the bottom of the stairs, catching my breath. Christian gave a weak moan next to me.
'SHHH! I'm tired.' I whacked him on the head with the book again and he fell silent.
When I finally caught my breath, I knelt beside Christian and stuck my hands on his face. I summoned my magic and watched, fascinated as a large lump receded from his forehead. Wonder where he got that from.
Christians eyes fluttered open.
'Hey Liss. You OK?' His voice was weakly dangerous. The sound of his voice scared me so much that I clocked him on the head again and dragged him up the stairs to the attic. I dumped him in the corner and stood over him with my book. He groaned again. I decked him with the book again.
Then I realised what I had done. Oh my God. Christian. Christian. Christian was hurt. Oops. Oh well. I sat in the other corner and waited until he managed to climb unsteadily to his feet. I was just about to walk over when loud thumps echoed below.
Before I could lift my book again, I was surrounded, surrounded by men and women who had come out of nowhere, bursting up into the attic of the chapel. Christian leapt up, fire flaring from his fingers. One of the invaders hit him on the head with something hard, making his body slump to the ground. Third time tonight. Must be a record. Maybe I should have given him my book. I climbed to my feet and picked up my book.
The men and women surged forward, surrounding me. I shrugged and turned around, my book smacking about half of them.
'Oops.' I giggled and covered my mouth. The rest of the people looked at me in shock.
'This isn't going to plan. We are supposed to get out of here⦠inconspicuously.' What looked like the leader looked nervous.
'I can knock out the rest of you out and say you were overpowered by a legion of guardians.' I offered.
'How bout we knock you out and drag the rest of the bodies off except for the boy?'
'Nah, don't like that plan.' I turned back around and another few people collapsed.
'Vasilisa, can you please stop whacking my people?' The leader sounded irritated.
'What?' I spun around again. A few more guardians fell. 'Oh. Whoops sorry.'
The leader gave her a dumbfounded look. 'Please stop.'
The leader was the only one standing, the rest were on the floor, groaning and holding their heads or their arms or wherever else I had hit them.
'Sorry.' Lissa gave her a sheepish smile.
'Erm, anyway. You have to come with me.' The leader looked at me imploringly.
'Oh, sure. Not very interesting in here, just a bunch of unconscious bodies. Where are we going?'
The leader looked at me like I was insane, which I found very rude. She dug a strip of black cloth out of her pocket and held it out. I shook my head.
'Nuh uh.' I held my hand out for the cloth which she put in my hands, confused.
I reached up and tied the cloth around her eyes. 'This is like a really cool game I used to play with Rose. I forgot the name. It was something long and confusing. She used to be blindfolded and she'd chase me around the room. Midnight. Murder. No. I don't know I give up.'
'Murder in the Dark?' Leader suggested.
'Might have been. Hey what's your name?'
'Jess. Now we have to get to the parking lot.' Jess sighed and attempted to wiggle the blindfold from her eyes using her eyebrows. I giggled and yanked it back down, grabbing her arm and the same time. I looped my arm with hers and skipped to the parking lot, dragging her along.
'Lissa, you're supposed to be handcuffed. I might get in trouble.' I skidded to a stop, thinking.
'Yeah. We can't risk that.' I pulled her blindfold off and tied it around my hands.
'There we go.' I said brightly. Jess looked doubtful but grabbed my upper arm anyway. I started to skip again but she yanked me to a stop. I pouted at her but she refused to let go.
'Hey, carry my book. I can't with my hands.' I jerked my chin towards my hands.
Jess reached down and grabbed my book, throwing it over her shoulder in one liquid motion. I stopped again and tried to run back for it.
'Hey! That's my book. I knocked out like twenty guardians with it.' I attempted to glare at her and grab my book at the same time but I ended up falling on my face. Jess yanked me up.
'No. We can't bring the book.'
'You sure?'
'Positive.'
'Awwww.' I hung my head and let her drag me to the car.
There we go. Lissa acting like our dear friend Rose. Next chapter is back to Rose. Thanks guys. Don't forget to review and leave another idea ;).
