Thank you sooo much to all the people who reviewed! I might be able to squeeze in another chapter tonight! :D
Chapter Four
It was like we'd walked in on a war. There were guardians and Strigoi fighting all over the grounds. And by the looks of it the Strigoi were winning. Dimitri and I both closed in on Lissa and Christian. To my right Tomas was fighting off three Strigoi, so I stepped into the fight and staked one by surprise. Ok. Now they were after me. Perfect.
I stepped to my right and kicked one of them in the stomach, then punched the other one hard in the face. Because they were all focused on me, they didn't see Tomas coming up behind and staking one of them. The other seemed pretty pissed off at that- maybe they were together or something... I dodged as he swung his fist at me, and got him in the gut. Moving swiftly, I quickly staked him.
"Rose, how did you get out? You're supposed to be in the cell." Tomas said, although I'm pretty sure he's glad I'm out seeing as I just saved his life.
"I had some help." I replied.
He nodded at me and went to help the other guardians.
I turned back to the others and saw Dimitri was in a fight of his own. Five Strigoi were on them, but Christian 'distracted' them- and when I say that you know I mean burn half their heads off. Dimitri staked them easily. I grabbed Lissa's hand and yelled at the others:
"Come on! We have to get out of here!"
We ran through the fight, staking and fighting only when we needed to. I had to get Lissa out of here. As we neared the court gates, seven Strigoi confronted us. With Lissa and Christian between us, Dimitri and I fought them off. One of them was pretty tall, around 6 ft 7. I remembered back to my trainings with mum, how she was about a foot shorter than me, but she always managed to win. She used her size as an advantage. So I did that- and it was a pretty even fight. This guy was definitely a dhampir before he was turned. After a while though he let his guard down and I was able to stake him. The next one- a brunette- was pretty easy. I got her in a matter of seconds. I went into fighting mode. The only things going through my mind were dodge, punch, kick... and occasionally Dimitri.
This was what Dimitri had always been worried about. If we were together, we wouldn't be able to protect Lissa. I realised now how true that was.
As Dimitri finished off the last of them, we ran towards the gates. Something on the ground caught my eye. A stake.
Humans staked the wards.
As we went through the gates, I saw someone I never, in my entire life, expected to see again.
"Hello Rosemarie." She said maliciously.
"Mi- Miss Karp?"
Hope you enjoy! Tell me what you think J
