A/N: So To make up for not updating for like a month earlier I posted a super long chapter . Well you might not think its long , but it's the longest one yet . Oh and you guys are going to hate me after this chapter . I know she was the main character , but no one survives being stuck in a house with three strigoi , no matter how badass you are . And Ricky can find a new love interest right ? Ok so read away , and tell me what you think in a review . Btw I'm changing the Title of the story to " The Flame within my Heart " So look for that . I will change it when I put up the next chapter .
"Vi , Vi , Wake Up ."I heard his voice say but the fog of shock was still clouding my brain. "Violet! Wake up . " He said softly again . "Now !" He screamed .
I startled awake to see Ricky , with a look of urgency and alarm on his face . I felt the restrictions lift from my wrist and wiggled my hands around , relieved to finally feel free . He kneeled down to free the binds that restricted my ankles . I looked around , making sure no one was coming , as bad ass as I knew Ricky was I doubt he could kill three strigoi , especially since they were his brothers .
Seeing the coast was clear I looked back down at Ricky, To see he was looking in between my legs . I brought my knees together , smashing his head . "Oww." He complained .
"You perve , you're in the middle of a rescue and you decide Its time to look up my skirt! Just get my ankles untied . " I might sound digusted but it was so normal Ricky that it relaxed me , reminding me there is something normal outside of this crazy kidnapping . He laughed and continued untieing me making no excuse , not that I expected one .
When he finished he tossed the rope aside and yanked the ring off my finger . Leading me up the stairs, I assumed he knew this house well . He seemed to know the way around . Thank God , there was the door . We were almost there . Then we were stopped by Ryan , Bobby , Christian stepped in our crap . Holy Shit! I should have known it wasn't going to be that easy .
He shoved me behind him and automaticly attacked Christian , knowing he was the main threat . I backed up , not wanting to be another one of their snacks , but I backed back into a pregnant stomach . Bree yanked back my hair and whispered in my ear "You won't steal him from me ." I ripped out from her grasp and spun around to face her .
Her hair was knotted , honestly it looked like a rats nest , sticking in all different directions . Her face was stuck in a permanent scowl . No wonder I didn't notice she was pregnant , she wore nothing but baggy bohemian shirts and she couldn't be showing much . Her and Ricky had only been messing around for about a month , so she had probably only been pregnant for about two weeks or so .
I didn't want to hurt her , she might be crazy but she was a a fellow moroi and I wouldn't have a moroi murder on my hands , so I went for restraining her . I grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back , making it where she wasn't hurt but she couldn't really do anything . As I expected her combat skills were a complete zero , she's that type of girls who they give extra guardians to because if a strigoi came at her she would be more worried about breaking a nail than fighting for her life .
At least that's what I thought until she pulled out a knife , no doubt infused with spirit and if it touched me I was afraid of the side effects . Plus I doubt she would heal me after she stabs me . Avoiding it was harder than I thought, especially since I was trying to evade her accidently stabbing herself . "Stop fighting and don't scream ." she said in a monotone voice . I nodded but my mind was screaming at me to stop , to kick her ass and get on with it , but my body just wouldn't listen .
She brought the knife down on me slowly , as if enjoying the fear on my face as I couldn't move. Just as it scratched my top I was shoved out of the way .
I slammed into the floor and felt a piece of glass jab into my side , I reached down to pull the glass out but stopped when I saw the pool of blood that was poring out of my side . I zipped up my leather jacket so it would hide the wound . I hissed when I felt the fabric of my jacket scratch my wound but I couldn't have Ricky see me hurt , he would focus on my gash instead of fighting them . I would tell him when we got out of here , if we got out of here .
Ricky had knocked the knife out of Bree' s hand and had her knocked out on the floor . He was now dealing with Ryan while Christian was no where to be found and Bobby was on the floor with a silver stake in his heart . Ricky killed his brother , for me . I can't believe it and he didn't hesitate at all , like he had expected this . He probably had but I still respected him for having the will power to do what was needed in the situation .
Thinking of what to do in the situation , an idea came to my head .I glared at the door and it lit up in flames . I repeated the same thing with each door way and every doorway and window , except for the window closest to Ricky . They hadn't noticed the fire that was quickly spreading across the room . I started a small flame on the hem of Ryan's jeans and screamed at Ricky "The window! Jump !" He looked at me for a moment , confused , but as his eyes widened with understanding I got up and ran , we didn't have much time . I could control fire but it would take all my energy to stop I now and I needed that energy to run with this injury .
I ran straight past him and crashed through the window , thankfully not getting anymore glass stuck to me . He followed suit , using Ryan's distraction of the fire to his advantage and jumping out the window . I landed on my feet thankfully and turned around to light the window on fire , making sure the strigoi had no way of getting out .
The window lit up in flames , the orange yellow light almost blinding me . Ricky stepped away from the heat of the blaze but I stood , basking in its warmth . Fire was my home , my safety net . It didn't hurt me , it protected me , from the dangers of this world . As long as I had my fire I couldn't lose , I couldn't be hurt . It was like an defense mechanism that was ingrained in my DNA .
"Violet , Lets go ." Ricky said , pulling my arm gently . I nodded reluctantly and he turned and started running . " My bike is about a mile away, but we have to get there fast . I don't know what happened to Christian . He could be anywhere."
Ricky stated sprinting through the trees . It seems like we were in the middle of nowhere . The house I was kept in was fancy and modern and looked very out of place in the middle of the woods . Realizing that while I was looking around Ricky was already lost in the woods , I sprinted after him , my side screaming in protest with each step .
I started seeing black spots in my vision , but decided to ignore them , it was only a mile , I could make it . My wound didn't agree though so it decided to make me lose my vision so I tripped , crashing onto the ground .
I was right on Rickys heels so when I fell my face practically made out with his shoes . He turned and smirked the sexy way he always did and said " I mean I've had girls chase after me before , but I've never had one literally fall at my feet before . I guess there's a first time for everything."
"I tripped you cocky bastard ." he chuckled and helped me up , putting one hand on my waist . He pulled back and looked at his hand , soaked in blood .
He jerked me up and tore my leather jacket off , literally . Aww , I liked that jacket . He stared at my wound .
Ricky looked me in the eyes and his face turned as red as my hottest flames , I swear I saw smoke coming out of his ears ."What happened , Violet ?" He snarled .
A/N: Ok , so Violet didn't die . Sorry but I just had to make you think she did , I mean it created more suspense in the chapter when you read it . Did I scare you in the first authors note ? Don't hate me ! I did it for you! Haha okay so review and tell me how much you hate me for scaring you and how much you loved this chapter ! Remember I am changing the name to "A Flame within my heart" so look for that for the next chapter if you already don't get alerts .
