Without further adu, Chapter 4!

Lissa POV:

The blonde guardian, Aliyah Valckx, I think, was alerting everyone of the attack. My other Guardians were already making a protective circle around me and Christian. Dimitri stayed Right beside me and Christian, while Rose and Guardian Hans talked to Aliyah about the attack.

"The wards are down," I heard Aliyah tell them.

"How many Strigoi are we dealing with?" Rose asked quickly.

"The biggest band of Strigoi in history! At least a thousand." Guardian Valckx replied.

"Alright," Hans said. "Hathaway, your with me. Valckx lead the rest of the queen's guards to the safe house immediately."

"Yes, sir." Aliyah said quickly running over to our circle.

Rose and Hans ran out the door so fast, it could rival a Strigoi.

"Okay, everyone follow me. I'll let you know the plan once the queen's in the safe house." Guardian Valckx stated.

As we ran to the safe house, I couldn't help but worry for, Rose. My best-friend. My Protecter. My sister.

She was going out on the front lines, and was willing to lay her life down to ensure the safety of others.

I snuck a look at Dimitri and could instantly tell, he was worried too.

Aliyah went to a Royal painting of Queen Alexandra, she lifted up the small painting, and behind it was a lever.

She pulled the lever down and a piece of the wall, opened like a door. A small marble staircase lay before us.

Guardian Aliyah, hung the picture up again, and ushered us down the stairs. Once everyone had made it, including herself she pressed a sliver button and the wall closed behind her.

The stair case spiraled downward, there had to be at least a hundred stairs.

When we made it to the bottom, there was a metal door, it needed a code. Apparently, only three guardians knew it. Hans,Rose, and Aliyah.

Good thing one of them was here.

When the door opened, we were in luxury once more.

A huge chandelier hung from the celling.

There was at least thirty bedrooms, and Bathrooms. And each Bedroom had a plush red bed.

There was also a huge pantry full of a life time supply of food for at- least Sixty people.

A kitchen was there along with a library and living room. It even had TV, but what surprised me the most was that the TV showed survallince footage from outside. Where the battle was.

Me, Christian, and Dimitri sat on the couch looking for Rose. And then we saw her.

She was like a goddess, and just then, watching her fight, I felt incredibly lucky she was on our side.

Throwing kicks and punches left and right, She killed so many Strigoi even I lost count.

It was like it was choreographed, Every time she staked one, she would gracefully move to the next.

But more of them kept coming and less of us were still standing.

This battle would probably be lost.

The Strigoi got all the guardians in a hand hold, all except one.

Rose stood tall, even though her friends were probably going to die.

Just then, the leader stepped out from the shadows, he had Brown hair, and brown eyes with a red ring around them.

"We will stop the attack if you give us one thing." The Strigoi said in a menacing voice, it sent shivers down my spine.

"We will never give you the queen you twisted bastard!" Rose spat.

"Feisty, I heard you were. You have quite the reputation in Russia, darling." The Strigoi said in a cold voice.

"We want don't want the pathetic queen, yet."

Rose glared at the tall intimidating Strigoi, never blinking.

"Then what the hell do you want.?!"

"We want You, Rosemarie Hathaway. If you come with me, I'll call off all my people, and we'll leave. Your precious queen Vasilissa will be safe."

I looked at Dimitri, his eyes were full of love and worry, torture, and Rage.

He was mumbling in Russian.

"Роза, нет! Нет, нет, нет! Я люблю тебя! Не уходи, я не могу жить без тебя! Пожалуйста, не оставляйте меня!"

I don't think anyone here knew Russian, but that didn't matter. All anybody's attention was on was Rose.

Strong, Brave, Rose. I thought.

Why did it have to be her! Why her! I felt tears pooling in my eyes. I couldn't watch any longer.

Not when I knew what was going to happen. I turned to Christian for support only to see his eyes glowing yellow. He was in her head.

I put my face in my hands, keeping a sliver of hope that I was wrong.

But then I heard it, her silky smooth voice ran through the speakers.

"Fine, just let them go."

Immediately, the guardians and moroi were released and one of the Strigoi came up behind Rose knocking her unconscious.

I broke down into sobs, and felt familiar muscular arms wrap around me, I sobbed into Christian's chest.

Christian was also shedding tears, but Dimitri was weeping. Not sobs like me, but more tears than Christian.

And I knew Dimitri didn't cry. He cried once when he was restored, but Rose told me even in his childhood, Dimitri hardly ever shed a tear.

Around the room, I saw many people actually cry. Everybody, liked Rose to some extent.

It was a monumental loss. But I made up my mind then and there.

We were going to get Rose back.

I wiped away my tears, cleared my throat and fixed my hair, thank the gods I always wear water proof makeup.

"Guardian Hans, Guardian Belikov, Guardian Valckx, may I speak with you in private."

All three nodded, and we walked to the library, Christian in tow.

"We need to get Guardian Hathaway back," Aliyah said. Her pale green eyes shining with determination, she had a foreign accent, and her long dark blond hair was up in a bun.

"You know we can't do that-" Hans started.

"Hans," I said.

"We NEED guardian Hathaway, if she is turned they will kill us all!"

"How do you know, their going to turn her."

"I don't but she's amazing. They'll want her on their side."

Christian spoke the thing that was on all our minds.

"We are in deep shit."

"Yes, but we have another huge problem." Aliyah said.

"What?!" I asked

"Natasha Ozera escaped."

So Rose has been abducted by the Strigoi! And Tasha escaped the prison!

And who is the mysterious leader of the Strigoi, and what does he want with Rose?

I'd like to get up to 40 reviews before I add the next chapter!

Like an Fave!

ps: Russian translation:

Roza, No! No, No,No! I love you! Don't go, I can't live without you! Please, don't leave me!
