Chapter 8

RPOV

When I woke up my throat was so sore and dry. I looked around for a cup of water, but what I found was me chained to a chair by hand-cuffs. I pulled at the hand-cuffs but they wouldn't budge.

'Of course' I thought to myself. 'My first time with having sex with a guy and something bad had to happen.'

I took in the rest of my surroundings. I was in what looked like a basement. There were no windows and there was only one door with a lock on it. Boxes stood in the corner of the room and a table was in the centre of the room, right in front of me. There was only one single light that was hanging from the roof and the room smelt like smoke.

Wait… smoke?

Panicked I looked around for the source of the fire, but the smoke was seeping in from underneath the door crack. I struggled in my chair trying to get out of it, but it was useless. I was stuck.

"Help! Help me somebody!" I cried out to anyone who could hear me.

There was no way I was going to die. One; I had to get back to Dimitri. I knew that by now he would be out of his mind with worry, and was probably killing a few people. And the second reason was pretty obvious. I was not going to die, being burned alive by a fire. If I was to die here I want it to be quick and painless. Say for example, a strigoi draining me.

Suddenly I heard the sound of laughter and the door banged open. I jumped in fright and in walked two strigoi's. I had a brief moment of déjà vu of being in Spokane. I was strapped to a chair like I was now and there also were two strigoi's. One male and one female, like there was now.

The woman had flowing black hair and she was slim and tall, making me guess she was a moroi before she was turned. The guy looked similar to her. He had jet black hair as well, and he was quiet muscular and tall. I couldn't tell if he was a dhampir, moroi or human before he was turned. But the similarities between the two of them were too pronounced that they had to be brother and sister so I was guessing that he would have been a moroi as well before he was turned.

"Well, well. If it isn't the famous Rose Hathaway. It's a pleasure to meet you at last," spoke the guy with a mocking bow.

"Likewise," I shot back sarcastically with a bow of my head.

The guy glared at me and strode over closer to me so that he was up in my face. His hand brushed down the side of my cheek and played with the ends of my hair. I tried to pull away as if I was disgusted with his touch, which I was, but I wanted to act all cool and badass in front of these idiots. If I was going to die, I was going to go down Rose Hathaway style.

The strigoi chuckled and pulled away from me. "You're a witty little one aren't you?"

"I prefer the term clever and ingenious thank you."

The strigoi smirked and walked over to the table which I now realised had a platter on it. I looked around and saw a human girl standing against the wall with her head cast down. She must have brought in the platter behind the two strigoi's. I mentally kicked myself for not being more observant. I had been too focused on the two strigoi's to not notice the finer details like her, and that could have costed me my life.

"Are you hungry?" the guy strigoi asked.

As he said it my stomach rumbled in protest and I quickly shook my head. "Nope. I had a big dinner, but thanks for asking."

The strigoi chuckled. "Don't lie to me. I heard your stomach grumble." He picked up a slice of what looked like pepperoni pizza. Yum. I worked hard to try and not show that my mouth was watering.

"Eat it," the strigoi demanded.

I pulled away as much as I could. "Why should I?" I snapped.

Believe me; it took all of my self-control just there to not devour the pizza just then.

"Don't ask questions. Just do it. The big boss ordered that you were to eat."

I clamped my mouth shut and shook my head.

The strigoi sighed. "I really hoped that it wouldn't come to this." He muttered.

I felt a pit of fear inside of me. What was he going to do? I wondered as he turned to girl strigoi.

"Bethany can you force her mouth open please?" he asked her sweetly.

Bethany smiled and nodded. "Sure Xavier."

Finally I have names, I thought as Bethany walked over to me and gripped my jaw in her vice like hold.

She pried my mouth open and Xavier came over to me with the pizza slice in his hand. He forced it into my mouth.

"Alright Beth, close her mouth," Xavier instructed.

She clamped my mouth shut around the pizza slice and Xavier pulled out the slice leaving half of it in my mouth.

Bethany still had my mouth closed so I couldn't spit out the pizza in my mouth.

"Swallow it." Xavier ordered and after long hesitation I began chewing it.

And my I saw my god! It was the best pizza I had ever had in my life, not that I would ever tell these two idiots that.

After quickly chewing it and then swallowing it, I wrestled my head away from Bethany's hold.

"Good," crooned Xavier coming over again and holding out the last half of the pizza slice. "Again."

DPOV

"Rose doesn't know she's pregnant…."

I stared at Adrian in anger. "Well of course she doesn't you idiot! We only did it last night! She doesn't know that she could fall pregnant with me! So we need to find her even quicker than before."

Lissa came over and laid a hand on my arm gently. "Look, this fighting isn't helping Rose. Let's get to Alberta, and tell her about Rose and her… situation. Then we can come up with a plan of action for finding Rose. She needs us."

I nodded. "Let's go." I said not stopping to see if they were following me.

We jogged to the guardian staff room to get there quicker and by the time we got there Adrian and Lissa were puffing for breath. I looked at Christian who seemed to be the only one other than me that wasn't affected by the brief run. He gave me and amused smirk as he watched Adrian walk over to a bench and get a drink of water, and Lissa followed him.

Alberta looked up at our arrival and walked over to me. "Guardian Belikov. I thought you were just getting Lord Ivashkov?"

"Well, we got Vasilisa and Christian by default. Adrian said that Vasilisa will be able to feel Rose and feel when Rose is taking the darkness away from her, so she will be able to confirm that Rose is alive if Adrian cannot get into Rose's dreams." I explained in a rush.

Alberta nodded. "That's a good point. Well come on, we think we have a good starting point."

She led me over to the table where all these guardians were looking at a map. Alberta pushed through the group with me at her side.

"We think that Rose could be in this abandoned building here," she explained pointing at the spot on the map that was only 10 miles away from the school.

"How soon can we leave?" I asked.

We may have had nothing to go off as to where Roza could be, but anything is a start.

"Well we have to think about it Dimitri and prepare groups. We have to think of how many we are taking and who will be going as such Dimitri. We can't just leave." Alberta clarified.

"But Alberta, we don't have time to stuff around. Rose needs us now."

"I understand that Dimitri and I can understand you rush to getting to her, but we have to be smart about this. One strigoi may have taken to her, but there may be an army of them where the strigoi took her had taken her."

"Alberta, you don't understand. Roza is…" I broke off suddenly too afraid to say it.

I briefly wondered how many times Alberta would be able to kill me before I hit the ground.

"She's what Dimitri?" Alberta pressed.

"She's pregnant."

Alberta gapped at me, and I couldn't blame her. "But how? I thought you and her…? Is she with another moroi now?" Alberta asked dragging me away out of ear shot of the other guardians.

"No, we um, Rose and I slept together last night, and Adrian spoke to her that night before she was taken and he said he could see the pink aura of the unborn child. He said it was going to be a girl." I spoke with affection in my voice.

"But how is it possible?" she asked herself.

"Adrian said because she was shadow-kissed she has the ability to have children with anyone, whether they are dhampir or moroi."

Alberta suddenly smiled and looked up at me with a smug look. "Have fun telling Janine this."

I gulped. Oh crap! I hadn't thought about Janine and this whole situation.

"Alberta, please. We have to go now. I have to get her back, so I know her and our child is safe."

Alberta bit her lip and then nodded. "Alright. You get Rose's friends together and I'll get the other guardians."

I nodded and turned around. Lissa was in Christian's arms and he was soothing her as they both looked at Adrian who was lying down on a couch with his eyes closed. As I approached them Lissa turned around and looked at me. She must have seen my questioning look because she answered my unspoken question.

"He's trying to reach Rose."

I was about to reply when we all heard Adrian mutter in his sleep.

"Little Dhampir…."
