Chapter 9
RPOV
I ate all the food that they gave me, including the bottle of water which I was not complaining about. My sore throat is now thanking me. I was still hand-cuffed to the chair and I was still locked in the room, but they came in 3 times a day giving me food and Xavier would always hand feed me. They didn't trust me to be out of my hand-cuff. Can't say I blame them. If it was me in their position, I wouldn't trust me either. Every now and then I would feel myself nodding off and I would force myself to wake up. I didn't trust them to fall asleep. Being strigoi they might turn me in my sleep or drain my body of blood. No I think I am staying awake. I'll find a way out of here eventually, or Dimitri may find me before then.
I was more hoping on the latter one, because not only did I want to see Dimitri desperately, but also because it would be cool to see him rip their heads off of their shoulders for taking his girlfriend.
I heard the sound of the door opening and my head snapped up to see Xavier and Bethany walk in. but behind them a new strigoi walked in, but I recognised him immediately.
He was the one who took me.
Now that I wasn't rushing around trying to save my life and Dimitri's life, I could take in his appearance.
He had the typical strigoi features to start with. Fangs, pale skin and red ringed eyes. But then there were his human features. He had messy blonde hair on the top of his head, and he was tall. He looked very well built body, making me presume that he was probably a dhampir before he was turned.
He walked over to me and gave me a fang filled smile. Bethany and Xavier hung back just watching with observant eyes.
"Hello dearie." He said pleasantly. I fought back a shudder as he ran a finger delicately along my chin and jaw.
"Fuck you." I growled out between gritted teeth.
The strigoi tsked me and silenced me with a finger against my lips.
"Uh, uh. As I said, if you behave, you won't be punished. And at the moment, you are not behaving." He scolded me.
He still had his finger against my lips, so I figured it was time to stop being nice and to start being a pain in the ass if I had any hopes of being able to get out of here.
I opened my mouth and quickly bit down on his finger, hard enough so that it would hurt him, but not quite hard enough that I'd draw blood.
I had no intentions of any of his blood getting in my mouth and me turning strigoi.
With a yelp of surprise the strigoi jumped away from me. Xavier stepped forward and slapped me across my face, making my head snap to the side.
"Can't we kill her already Nathan? I mean why are you keeping her here like a pet?" Xavier asked.
Nathan, the strigoi I had bitten straightened up and glared at Xavier.
"Because I want to have my fun! Besides I've got plans for the pretty one here." He said gesturing to me. "Now, did you bring that camera I asked you to?"
Xavier held up a video recorder and smiled. "Yup!" he said proudly.
"Good, I want you to film this and then send the tape to lover boy." Nathan instructed and Xavier nodded obediently.
"Look, if you want to eat me for dinner just do it already. I'm as sick of this game as what Xavier is Nathan. Is that your name?" I asked bravely.
Nathan glared at me. "Yes it is. But you shall refer to me as master, Rose."
"But I prefer first name basis. If you get to call me Rose, why can't I call you Nathan? If I have to call you master like your minions do, then you have to call me Guardian Hathaway. It's only fair." I stated.
Nathan growled and gripped my jaw painfully in his hand. "Shut up! You call me Master, end of story!"
"Fuck off I will asshole. I was just screwing you around before with the whole you call me this and I'll call you that business." I giggled despite the pain I was in.
Nathan let out an almighty roar as his hand cracked across my face. I gasped in pain.
That was a lot harder than Xavier had ever hit me. Xavier was like a pillow or a feather compared to Nathan. When I looked up Nathan was looking at my chest. If I had arms to punch him with, I would have right then, but what he did next shocked me.
He started to pull off Dimitri's duster that I was still wearing, and beneath it I was naked, like I was when I was taken. They hadn't given me any clothes to change into. Horrified I struggled against him.
"What the hell are you doing?! Get off!" I shrieked.
Nathan growled as he ripped the duster off me, leaving me completely bare in front of him. The only one who had seen me completely naked was Dimitri, and I had no plans what so ever in changing that.
But what could I do? I was strapped to a chair, unable to move, let alone fight. And I was naked. I started to hyperventilate as Nathan started kissing down my neck and collar bone.
"Stop it!" I screeched.
But Nathan ignored me and continued to kiss down to my breasts where he took my left nipple in between his teeth.
"Please!"
He ignored my requests as he kissed down my body and stopped right above my hips, he stood up with inhuman speed and had his pants pulled down before I could blink.
Oh no, no, no, no, no! I thought as he came closer and closer to me. This cannot be happening!
Nathan found my lips and began to furiously kiss my lips. I tried to bite his lip but he pulled away every time I went to. He stood even closer to me and I could feel his erection poking me in the thigh. I swallowed back vomit as I felt his tip at my entrance. Nathan pulled back to watch my face as he slammed painfully into me.
Dimitri was so gentle and careful when he entered me, and that was what made the difference. Nathan however just smashed into me, not letting me have to time to get use to his size or nothing before he began thrusting in me.
Oh god! I thought as tears streamed down my face. Please let this be a dream. This is CANNOT be happening!
I shouldn't be defenceless like I am. I should be able to fight back and push him off, but at the moment I felt so… helpless.
"DIMITRI!" I screamed. "HELP ME! PLEASE!"
I was crying now as tears fell freely down my face while Nathan continued to thrust in and out of me faster and harder. In the middle of thrusts, Nathan somehow got his hand up and slapped me painfully across the face.
"You will not scream his name while you are with me you whore! The only name I want to hear you scream is mine!"
I cried as he plunged into me over and over again.
"You will be my blood whore!" he yelled as his hands roamed my body and rested on my breasts, twisting them painfully.
I knew Nathan was getting closer and closer to his climax because his moans were coming more frequently and louder each time. Just before he reached his orgasm I felt him kissing up my neck.
"Thank you Rose. You are truly mine now bitch," he moaned.
As his fangs bit into my neck and I lost sense of the world as the blackness drew me under.
APOV
"You have to try and reach Rose."
I looked over to Lissa who had spoken to me. She was in the folds of Christian's arms and silent tears were running down his face.
"I know I do Liss. But I can't do anything now. Belikov is talking to Alberta, and I need to stay alert in case we get a plan of action." I said sitting down on a couch. Christian and Lissa followed me over.
"They can't do much if they don't know where Rose is Adrian, and that is what they need you for. They need you to try and reach Rose." Christian snapped.
I couldn't blame the guy. We were all worried about Rose, but he was closer to her than I was. I may be in love with her, but Christian and Rose had known each other all their lives and Christian was like the protective older brother to Rose.
When I looked at him, I could see the unshed tears in his eyes. And here I was thinking I would never see the day when Pyro would cry….
"But what if they come up with a plan and we start moving?" I demanded crossing my arms over my chest.
"You'll stay here trying to contact Rose." Explained Lissa.
"And how am I meant to tell Belikov where she is if I find out where she is?" I insisted.
"Then we'll stay here with you." Said Christian. "Please Adrian."
I looked at his and Lissa's face. Lissa had tears running freely down her face and when I looked at Christian, a single tear ran down his.
I sighed defeated. "Alright. Don't let anyone disturb me. The longer I'm with Rose the more I can find out." I explained lying out on the couch and closing my eyes.
I blocked out the outside world as I summoned spirit to me. I thought of Rose and saw her as if she was standing right in front of me. I thought of how beautiful, kind, protective, sarcastic and pure she was and after a few moments I felt a tugging at me, and I knew from experience that I had made contact with her.
After her being taken and no doubt being put in a depressing environment I thought something cheerful would make her happy, so I thought of a sunny beach.
I saw the yellow golden sand and the clear blue sky above. The gentle waves breaking against the surface of the beach surrounded the beach with a calm and tranquil feeling.
I blinked against the bright sun and looked around the beach for Rose. After a few seconds I saw her and what I was seeing shocked me to my core.
"Little dhampir…"
I walked slowly over to her and she looked up at me.
She was naked and curled in on herself. She was visibly shaking and her face was stained with tear streaks. I looked at her body and saw that it was covered in bruises, especially her legs. Her neck was all bloody and when I looked properly I could see that it was a bite mark.
What I saw made me feel sick and disgusted and I quickly stripped off my jacket and draped it over her shoulders so she didn't feel so exposed.
"Rose, what happened to you? What did they do?" I demanded hugging her close.
When I went to touch her she flinched and pulled away slightly.
"Rose…?"
She broke down in a fresh wave of tears and this scared me more than anything, because Rose isn't the type of girl that cries over nothing. Something really, really bad must have happened for Rose to be crying like this.
"Rose," I spoke gently, not wanting to frighten her off. She was very fragile at the moment and I was afraid that one little thing might set her off. "What happened to you? What did they do to you?"
I reached out for her slowly, so she could watch my every movement. Why was she afraid of me? My fingers brushed her shoulder and she jumped, but stayed where she was. Slowly I hedged towards her, and she didn't move. When I was close enough I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into my chest, where she began to cry harder than before.
I rubbed her back and stroked her hair as she cried into my chest. It broke my heart to see her like this, and hurt even more, because I didn't know what caused it, so I didn't know what to say to make her feel better. After what seemed like hours, Rose began to calm down to a silent sob, and every now and then she would make a hic-cup like sound.
I pulled away from her slightly and put two fingers gently under her chin to pull her face up to mine. When her brown eyes met my green ones, I could see that her eyes were still full of tears.
"Rose, what did they do to you?" I asked gently but firmly.
She swallowed and looked away. "I-I c-can't tell y-you. Y-you'll be ashamed of m-me." She sobbed.
"Rose I could never be ashamed of you. I want to know what those asshole did to make you this bad." I said and she continued to cry.
"H-He r-raped m-me." She stuttered.
Whatever it was I was expecting, it wasn't this. My hands tightened on Rose and I felt her flinch. When I looked down I could see that I was squeezing her, so I quickly let go of my grip.
"Who did Rose? I'm going to murder that son of a bitch!" I growled protectively clutching her to me.
"T-The strigoi r-raped me."
I glared into the distance and watched the waves roll up on the sand. If I ever find that strigoi I will stake him myself. Oh boy, I thought. This is gonna be fun telling Dimitri of what happened to his girlfriend…
"Where are you Rose?" I demanded of her.
She shook in my arms unable to answer. But I turned her around so she was facing me and looking at my face.
"Rose, please. Tell me where you are." I begged.
"I-I don't know where I am. I'm in a windowless basement, hand-cuffed to a chair. That's all I know." she wept.
"Shh, Rose, it's alright. We're coming. We're looking for you. Dimitri is frantic…" I added and a flash of a smiled darted across her face.
"So he is looking…" she mumbled.
"Of course he is."
Rose looked at me and smiled. She reached up and tenderly brushed back strands of my hair.
"Please, find me Adrian. I don't know if I'll be able to take him raping me again. It hurt so much…" she trailed off looking down at the ground.
I shook with anger. Those bastards….
"Do you know anything Rose? Something that may help Dimitri?" I asked and she started to shake her head, but then paused. "What?"
"Well, there's three strigoi's. Bethany, Xavier, and Nathan. He might know of Nathan, he had a Russian accent I think." She explained and I smiled.
"That's great Rose." I said meaning it.
Our surrounding began to shimmer, and I knew that Rose was starting to wake up.
"Rose, you're waking. But keep strong. We are coming for you. Dimitri is coming for you. He loves you more than anything and whatever you do, protect your stomach!" I cried out just as the dream faded and Rose vanished out of my arms.
My eyes snapped open and I came face to face with a worried Russian.
"Well?!" he demanded as I sat up.
I looked at his face knowing how much what I was going to say was going to hurt him.
Oh boy. Here it goes…
"Rose has been raped."
And there you go! Chapter 9 is in the bag! What do you think? Do you love or hate it? What is Dimitri's reaction going to be do you think? Will Rose find out she is pregnant before or after she is rescued by Dimitri? Will she think the baby is his or the strigoi's?
REVIEW to let me know what you are thinking!
