Chapter 7
A/N: hey, sorry that i haven't updated sooner. I've had writers block, I've been sick and I kinda took a tumble down the stairs at school and sprained my right ankle and right wrist.
Disclaimer: I do not own VA that pleasure goes to the wonderful and creative Richelle Mead.

After explaining everything to Dimitri, he willingly agreed to help us. I used Lissa's phone to call Sydney and asked if she could help us. She agreed hesitantly, but agreed nonetheless. We all agreed to meet up at a cafe and go over everything we knew. She was bringing as many files on Lissa's dad as she could and we hoped that it would be enough.
We found out that the person we were looking for wasn't in Dallas, Texas, anymore. Dur to that, we had to start over again.
We went over the reports again and again. We finally came with a lead, but it was in an isolated place. So obviously. We went.
"Roose, I'm hungry. Can we get something to eat?" god, why does Christian have to whine so much?
"No. We ate only thirty minutes ago! How can you be hungry again?" I replied.
He scowled and shut his mouth after that. We were still walking down the trail in the woods when I felt the now familiar feeling of nausea. I quickly scanned the area and found a cave to our right just through a few trees. I checked where the nausea was coming from and found that the cave was free from any strigoi.
"Heads up," I warned. "Strigoi. Head to the right, there is a cave, go to it and hide in there. The strigoi are on our left and in front of us. They're closing in on us fast." Dimitri and I got our stakes out and ran behind the moroi to the cave. The moroi went to the back of the cave and Dimitri and I stood inside the cave at each side of the entrance.
It was probably only about forty-five seconds when they showed up. There was around forty this time and looked like they were mostly dhampir when they were 'awakened'.
I looked over at Dimitri and saw that his guardian mask had dropped and he was terrified.
"What is it? Why are you so scared?" I hissed at him.
He looked at me with disbelief, "We are not going to make it out of this! How can you not be worried?" he cried.
I just shook my head and said, "Even if we don't get out of this, I am so going to take some of these mother fuckers down with me."
He nodded his head with agreement and we both looked back to strigoi.
We waited until they were ten metres from the entrance and then we jumped out and attacked them.
I ran up to one and staked him instantly. I threw a punch at another and staked him. I looked over at Dimitri and found that most of the strigoi were over with him. I could understand their strategy, take down the stronger fighter first.
I just smiled and jumped into the middle of the fight. I covered myself in fired and hit a few strigoi in the neck. I hit, kicked, blocked and jumped. I had fists and feet coming at me constantly. I blocked most, but a few still landed on me.
I staked as many as I could. I staked one with a mop of red hair that reminded me of Mason. I looked around for the next strigoi and found that they were all dead. Well – deader.
I scanned the area again and found that there was no more nausea, so I ran back to the cave to check on the moroi. After I made sure that everyone was okay, I walked outside and saw someone in the trees. I couldn't see them clearly, but when I walked out further, I felt nauseous again. I ran over to the strigoi and was about to stake her when she screamed, "No! I'm not like the others, please!" I paused and held my hand out, palm up, and held a ball of fire.
"If you so much as move from that spot, I will set you on fire," I snarled.
She nodded her head in acknowledgement and I told her to start explaining.
"I am not like them. I was born like I am right now. I am twelve years old and I am still growing. I am half human, half strigoi. My mother was raped by a strigoi when she was seventeen. Six months later, she gave birth to me. She kept me even though I was a reminder that she was raped. When I was eight, I was walking home with my mum. We had to go to the shops for some things and we didn't have a car. We just got home when this man walked out from the shadows. He killed my mother. He was about to kill me too, but he saw my eyes. He asked who I was and I told him 'I am Skylett. She was my mum.' He asked me how old I was and I told him that I was eight. He asked me who my father was and I told him that I didn't know who my father was. My mum was raped and I was the result. That was when I found out that he was my father. He taught me things. How to hunt, how to fight, how to make other strigoi listen me and other things. I don't like to kill or feed off humans, so I drink animal blood. I have a few friends that drink animal blood too. Sometimes though, if we can't get animal blood, we go to a blood bank and take some f the blood from there. Please. I want to help you,"
I looked at her. I could tell that she was at least twelve. And she looked like she could have been human. But I was having trouble believing that she was half and half. The only half and half is dhampirs.
She is telling the truth. She won't hurt you and she can help you. She has the best abilities of both sides of her heritage, like a dhampir. Tatiana's voice echoed in my head.
I shook it and decided on what I was going to do.
"Okay Skylett. Here is the deal, if you are really half and half, then you should be able to go into the sunlight and not burn up. So this is what we are going to do to validate your story. You and I are going to wait out here all night until the sun comes up. You will walk into the sunlight. If you burn up, well I just won't have to kill you. If you don't burn up, then you are recruited. Deal?"
She hesitated for only a second but then soon agreed.
We stayed outside for the rest of the night underneath a tree and when the sun came up everyone came to the edge of the cave to watch. Skylett looked at me and I nodded my head. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and with a big smile on her face, stepped out into the rays of sunlight.
I held my breath and waited to see what happened.
A/N sorry for the short chap! But I didn't know how to write it or what to write and you have all been so patient waiting for this! I promise that I will TRY to make the next chap longer but I am not giving any guarantees just in case.
Skylett is actually a real person. She is a good friend of mine at school and she helped me to write this chapter. I didn't write her actual name for safety reasons and to respect her privacy. Therefore, Skylett is not her real name.
So what will happen? What do you want to happen? Please don't be stingy and REVIEW! It takes less than a minute so pls review! I want at least 10 before I update. If don't, Dimitri might die! So save him and review! If there was something about this chapter that you didn't like or didn't understand, pls tell me. The first two people with fanfiction accounts to review will get a sneak peak at the next chapter WITHOUT THE AUTHORS NOTES! Yay!
