(Summary: VA=Not Mine)
Hahahahaha! Can you all tell I'm bored? Anyway, on to business.
Recap: Abe and his crew got Rose out. Darius and Rose are left to have a fracas.
"Free at last, feels like its been ages."
"You wouldn't last in a prison Rose."
"Don't I know it."
I charged for Darius. "Guys, back up. He's Mine."
Chapter 8: The Escape
I slammed into Darius, blocking a blow from his stake as I did. I wasn't usually the type to do the charging, but I figure if we are both down I should be able to recover fastest since I am the one to cause it.
We wrestled each other on the floor, rolling, and rolling, and rolling trying to get the top that way we have more space to move. I had his stake hand in my hand, and he had mine in his. It was practically a tie. My strength
isn't as good as it should be. Being in jail hasn't helped me much with my health.
I managed to stand, as soon as I was up Darius sent a tornado of kicks up at me. I blocked them and managed to step back out of reach. As soon as I was out of reach Darius was up as well.
"I underestimated you that last time Hathaway. Its not happening again."
"You don't have to underestimate me for me to beat you."
"Then how bout we make this interesting?"
We were both standing ready, breathing regularly.
"What do you have in mind?" I flipped my stake in my hand to get a better grip. When they locked me in this prison they took my gloves. My sweaty palm was making my grip slippery. Darius has an upper hand there.
"How bout we play out rounds?"
"Um, no. How bout you stop trying to stall. What's the matter? Waiting for your friends to come back from killing the big bad strigoi? Cant you take me on your own? Or are you just too much of a pansy to fight me off
yourself?"
That did it. Darius charged me stake first. Everything slowed. It seemed like I was moving twice as fast as he was, and he was the one running. I stepped to the side and Darius ran right passed me. It was a lot like a slow
motion scene from a movie.
I grabbed Darius by the back of his shirt and kicked his stake from his hand.
"What the-"
I pulled him around to face me and pushed him backward. His balance was off from missing me with his stake and I easily knocked him on his ass. I contemplated staking him there but tossed my stake to Sydney instead.
I threw a punch at him and he knocked me on my ass, getting on top of me.
He began to strangle me. I gasped for breath and hit his face over and over but he didn't let go. My vision began to blur some, and I grabbed his throat. He pressed his hands harder, but I squeezed his Addams apple in
one hand and continued to hit him with the other.
Black flecks haunted my vision. I couldn't help myself, I panniced, tossing me weight side to side squeezing his Addams apple in both hands. Darius choked a cough and released my throat. Throwing his fists at me. I
continued to squeeze his throat with one hand and blocked as many blows as I could with my free arm.
After a minute of random blocks and punches between Darius and I, he slumped on top of me. I couldn't let go of his throat. I killed him, I know it. I've killed him.
Sydney pulled him off of me. I ran to Liss. "I killed him Liss,-" "He's not dead" "-I killed a guardian! Holy shit!" "Rose, He's not dead!" "I am a fucking traitor! Oh my-" "Rose! He ISNT Dead!"
"What what?"
"He's alive." Lissa finally said aloud.
Sydney bent down and checked his vitals as I asked,
"How do you know?"
"Uh hello Rose. Spirit. His aura is still bright. He's still alive. Now can we get out of here before he's awake?"
"She's right Rose. If you want to make a safe escape, get out now before other guardians realize something is up." Mikhail chimed in as he got to his feet.
"Alright. Alright, Mikhail, you have a car or something we can use for getaway?"
He handed me the keys.
"Thanks Mikhail. You've been so helpful. I'm sorry though."
I hit Mikhail in the head and he fell flat.
"Rose! That wasn't necessary! He's going to hate us now!" Liss chastised me.
"No he's not. And it was necessary. If the other guardians wake and see tat Mikhail is up, completely unscathed without a mark on him, they will be suspicious. It was for his own good. Now c'mon."
We ran through the East Wing doors. We managed to run through court without getting caught. When we were outside the light was blinding.
It was the vampire's night. Everyone is asleep. Perfect time to make our escape. We trudged through the corridors, looking around every corner slowly making our way through to the parking lot.
Abe and Dimitri were waiting.
"Your late." Dimitri said, in his sweet husky voice.
"Ran into some trouble." I answered, trying to look away from him. "Where is everyone else?"
"This is all that's coming. Everyone here has the connections we need to get by. Everyone else needs to stay to try to cover up." Abe answered, popping the trunk open. "Hop in."
"Damn it." Lissa, Dimitri, and I sat in the trunk for about an hour.
When Abe stopped I kissed the ground, happy to finally be out of the hot and musky trunk. "Thank God!"
"Rose, ill think you'll live if for one minute you go without more fuel to that hot head of yours." Abe replied, giving me a slight smirk.
"Whatever, why don't you just get in the car before I knock you out, huh Pops?"
"You know Rose… I think that's the closest you've ever gotten to calling me dad." Sydney stiffened. I forgot. She has hold of records that the queen didn't know about, but she didn't know Abe was my father… My gangster
mob-boss father, and her boss.
"Yeah, well don't get used to it Zmey."
Dimitri shot me a disapproving look at using the Russian term for "snake" against my own father. To be honest, I was just happy he was looking at me in a way that wasn't sorrowful.
"Where are we going exactly?" Liss asked Abe, changing the subject.
It was Sydney who answered.
"We are going to Fallbrook. Its where we Alchemists store Intel on basically everything. it's the smallest area in Russia. No one knows about it, its not marked on a map, and it has wards over it constantly to protect it from
outsiders. Its actually not far from Dimitri's family in Russia." Dimitri froze. His family doesn't know he's no longer strigoi. "We need to find out as much information about Lucian as we can." I froze. Lissa doesn't know
about him yet.
This one has to be my longest! I hope you guys don't mind it being all long. I cant help myself. When I start its hard to stop. Please R&R. Thanks, and Love you all! Oh, Don't forget to vote!
Vampire Academy, House of Night, or Twilight. Thanks.
