RPOV...

Man may be I shouldn't have said that... but I would be damned if she thought I was just gonna sit there and take any insults from her...

Thankfully Dimitri didn't seem upset but once again this could cause problems in his coven that I didn't want...

Hopefully in time things would settle down... Days passed and things calmed with each passing day...

Pavel and Dimitri continued to stay close to me. There was a feeling deep in me that I have not shared with either of them...

I was once again on top of the catherdral watching the tourist pass by. This feeling that something big was coming was growing more intense with each day...
It was like a storm was brewing.. Waiting to strike, with a bloodlust that was starving to break free and get revenge.. I could only hope that when the lighting striked that those close to me would not suffer with in the flames of the coming war...

I managed to convice Dimitri and Pavel that I needed time to my self, by telling them both, I was more powerful and was not able to be weakened...
Also I pointed out the fact that I shared a bond with the both of them, and that if need be Pavel or my self could shimmer in within a seconds notice,
and not to mention Dimitri was able to sense my where abouts at all times... finally after hours of going back and forth they both agreed. However I was to be heavly armed ... I was reluctant but I wanted to assure both of them so I didn't argue much...

I truly felt the weight of the pressure on me... I was a wanted commodity...unfortunately... there where thoses that wanted me dead, some wanted me protected,
and some seen me as an added protection to there coven... over the last few days we have recieved alot of messengers... stating the desire's of there coven leaders..

None of the offers or threats scared or appealed to me, except one...It came from a large coven that was located in romania. the sire's name was Adrian...
He was said to be over a thousand years old, with the power to see future events as well as many other gifts...
It was said he was able to see a persons true intensions, whether they where truthful, or decieving...He claimed to have had visions about the slayer...
That a great war was coming and a great sacrafice was to be made... or in no certain terms a choice...

That was the part that appealed to me... The choice... I remember Yeva mentioning this to me at one point years ago.. I assumed at the time it meant when I left Dimitri, But now I'm not so sure, Plus the fact that I had been feeling uneasy even before this messenger came just added coal to an already glowing flame...

A movement in the shadows caught my eye. I knew it was not human because for the simple fact you could feel complete evil practically pouring off this creature...
But it was neither Vampire or Ghoul...As I saw its blue eyes glowing, but the blue was more like ice... it was rather unnerving... I sent out a signal to Pavel and Dimitri. Within seconds they where by my side on top of the cathedral... I sent each of them a silent message saying...

" look to your left 9 oclk... there in the alley, what the hell is that thing..."

Dimitri replyed, " I don't know but whatever the hell it is, its pure evil and strong" what the hell, thats not good. it looked like a man but it definalty was not a normal man...

" Well one way to find out" said pavel ... we all agreed then silently jumped off the cathedral and headed in the direction of that thing...

I saw as it backed futher down the alley into the darkness as we approached... Now any person vamp, ghoul or otherwise would be scared shitless with the way the three of us looked... one word... we are deadly... but this bitch looked entertained, what ever the hell it is...

I decided to try and go the nonviolent way first and see if we could get information peacefully, which I highly dout but I mean I gotta try right...

" Hey, their. who are you..." I asked trying to be non threatening but firm...

The thing hissed and narrowed its eyes while laughing menously at us... out of the corner of my eye I saw both Dimitri and Pavel step slightly in front of me...

" Calm down guys, lets see if we can get some info first" I sent thru the bond... I saw both nodd there heads slightly...

" Listen, we don't want to harm you. we just want to ask you some questions... thats all" I tryed for calm again...

The next thing I know this fucking creature's tongue darts out of its mouth like a freaking snake's tongue, as his lower lip stretches out and splits down the middle with some kind of what I assume is venom dripping from its lower lip...

" Fuck dude, you look like you got rabies or something..." I said trying to defuse the problem one last time.." We could try and get you some medical help"

"Shit I guess Not" I said as it started to appaorch us... I threw up my shield around us as some of that liquid shit was shot in are direction...

" Rosalina, you alright" asked pavel as he lowered him self in a protective stance in front of dimitri and my self...

" Ya i'm good. just trying to figure out what the hell that thing is, Dimitri can you smell that, it smells like some kind of acid or something" I asked as the creature tryed getting thru my shield... " Its venom roza. Keep that shield up, if that touches any of us it won't be pretty" he said calmly... oh shit He is using the calm voice he's pissed..." Hold it steady" he said again... dam it I knew what he was about to do and I was not gonna sit back and let him nooooo way shape or form...

" I don't think so Dimitri, so don't even think about it, or I will kill you myself" I said with a glare...

I reached one hand up and shoved with my force and watched as it slamed into the wall, unfazed... fuck me... I repeated the process several times and realized it was no use... I then place my force around his neck and caused the creatures neck to snap... within seconds it's neck healed... ok it was able to self heal like a vamp... " Should I try Silver" I asked " Can't hurt" they both replyed at the same time... I mentaly rolled my eyes..
then grabbed my silver dagger in my hand and used my power the shoot it across the air and into the creatures heart... it cryed out in pain...and passed out...
but 30 seconds later it was up again...

" OKkkkk... any time any one of you idiot's wanna help me with this fucking thing would be great... like advice on how to fucking kill it..." I said with uncertainty...

All in all I tryed beheading it, but the freaking thing healed even quicker, stabbing , shooting snapping its neck, sliver.

" Guys This is getting ridiculus, how the hell are we suppose to kill it..." I asked getting really frustrated...

A voice behind us answered, " Try burning in it into ashes..." I realized it was nathaniel my grandfather, ok if he was here thats not good...

I raised my hand and forced fire all over its body... causeing a horrible smell and scream to come out of the creature as it shriveld in to ashes...

I dropped the shield around us and turned to face Nathaniel... " Ok not to be the 'death' of the party, I mean Its not like I'm not happy to see you but what are you doing here."

Nathaniel walked over to me and touched my cheek as he searched for any injuries... " I felt you using alot of power my little one, and wanted to be sure you where all right,
or if you needed my help" I smiled relieved he was not here to take anyone... well he could have that thing..., but you know what I mean... I mentally hollored at myself..

As all three of them laughed out loud, shit they can hear my mental babble... fuck...

Dimitri kissed my temple and continued to chuckle... I playfully shoved him... then cleared my throat...

" Grandfather, what the hell was that thing" I asked... he looked at us with clear fear and said, " Vampire demon"

" Its a demon that feeds off of vampire's, ghoulls, and anything else in its path... they're almost impossible to kill... as I'm sure you have figured out,
fire is the only way to kill it... so you and pavel will have the power to fight them..." he said with certainty... but by the look on his face I knew there was more he had to say, I just wasn't sure I wanted to hear it... and it seemed dimitri and Pavel shared my thoughts on the matter ...

" what else aren't you telling us" I asked...

He let out a deep breath and said, " The venom will parilize the victim, while the demon feeds from them... if the demon bites into their victim,
they will become as the vampire demon, as far as we know there is no cure.. this is a fairly new species that has been created in only the last few months,
however in this short period of time their numbers have grown imensly... we magical folk have mannaged to keep things quiet all this time, but as their numbers grow it will be impossible to hide this..." he said with frustration... " They seem to have to feed quite often.. its like the body or host if you will starts to die out, so in order for the body or host to survive they have to feed every few hours... at this rate if something is not done we could be faceing a massive army.." he finished...

As the words left his mouth a cold feeling ran thru my veins... I have been feeling like a storm was coming, but this... this was more like being annilated...
This was not only the concern for the vampire and ghoul world, but for all of humanitiy...

" I know you have been feeling the shift in energy Little one, those connected to the angel realm in some form can feel it" said Nathaniel in a wary tone...

He suddenly looked around as if waiting for someone else to appear, " I must go Little one, We will meet again soon, in the meantime be safe" and then he dissapeared into the shadows once more...

I new we needed to gather are strenght together join forces if you will. It was time to get more answers and I knew who to get them from...

I turned and looked at both Dimitri and Pavel and said, " Pack your bags boy where going to Romania..."

Three days and many hours later we arrived in romania... I fell in love with the old world charm and mysterious atmosphere when night fell...
We where headed to a town called 'Salonta' it is said to be only a population somewhere near 20,000... that consisited of not only Romanians,but also Roma, or Gypsies, and Hungarians... Seeing as we where not far from the Hungarian border.

Throught out the ride, Dimitri would point out certain landmarks or buildings telling me the history of each... The city of Salonta was said to be founded,
in 1214, but the Ivashkov coven was here even before the city... I was amazed and completely facinated with each story he told me... After driving for a bout thirty minutes, we pulled up to a castle just out side the city... The castle was very beautiful despite it's gothic design... in total it sat across a space close to at least 10 or more acres... I could feel the excitement in my self as I thought about hidden rooms, and secret passages that I would love to discover with dimitri... or a possible maze filled with rich and intoxicating aroma of jasemine , and honey suckle... along with other flowers...

We where greeted by a couple of vampire's that to my embaresment bowed and kissed my hand.. before greeting Dimitri and Pavel...
After they carried are luggage to are rooms as we followed so we could freshen up for dinner...

I was amazed with beautiful portraits, and deep red and royal blue and purple colors that adourn the castle ... there where lush deep fabrics that covered the windows in a style that just screamed royal... In spite of the fact that every thing was breath takingly beautiful, I knew it was way over the top for my liking...

" I hope that your accomidations are to your likeing " said one of the vamps as he open the door to a room that had a huge king size bed, with gold and cream draps hanging from each bedpost canopy, with a matching color comforter... There where large floor to ceiling windows that served as doors opening to a small balcony on both sides of the bed... All in all the room was fit for a queen and king...

" This will be fine, thank you" replyed Dimitri as he watched as different emotions played across my face as I continued to take in my surroundings...

" Very well, the sire would like it , if the both of you would join him for dinner in a hour"

We both accepted the invitation, then he left the room... I sent a message to pavel who was right a cross from us...

"Pavel are you seeing this, I can't wait to get the chance to look around... dam we should have vacation here instead of come for buisisness"
I could here pavel chuckleing across the hall as he heard my message.

" You like it here" asked Dimitri...

"Yes, its amazing but I could never live her permentaly, it would be a great place to vacation, But just think My love, how many rooms we could ravish each other in" I said as I placed kisses along his jawline...

Well why don't we start with this room" he said as he lifted me up and his eyes danced with a devious look and carried me to the bed...

I couldn't help but growl as I was filled with excitement as a thrill shot thru my body when he ripped the buttons tearing my blouse off ...

An hour later the three of us were escorted into the dineing hall...

In the middle of the room was a long table that seated over twenty... with a huge chandelier with gold and cyrstal hung above the center...
We were shown to are seats, I chose to place my self in the middle of Dimitri and Pavel, as we waited for Adrian to join us...

Moment latter two large wooden doors opened and in walked a man that was somewhere in between the looks of James dean to Johhny depp...

Smooth flawless skin, slightly taned. Tall with broad shoulders. Dark black hair that looked messy but in a good way. With deep emerald green eyes...
His presence just ozzed with sex appeal... He seemed like the type of person who was not accustom to rejection... yes he was definatly easy on the eyes,
but I didn't trust him one bit...

"Ah Belikov, its been to long" adrian stated as Dimitri stood to shake his extended hand

"Ivashkov, yes it has" I could tell even though Dimitri was smileing he had a small dislike for this guy... I promised my self to get to the bottum of this latter..

Adrian then turned his attention to me and Pavel... I didn't stand up to greet him I just extended my hand to him... He bowed and kissed it.

" You must be the Beautiful Rose." I smile and said, " Its a pleasure to meet you Mr. Ivashkov"

" Please call me, Adrian. And the pleasure is all mine" he said as he continued to hold onto my hand... I didn't want him touching me any longer and was thankful when Pavel stood and said, " Hello it nice to meet you. My name is Pavel"

Adrain greeted Pavel with the same kindness but had a slight frown that he quickly covered by turning and saying "Please let us eat"

For some reason I just was not comfortable around this guy... I felt like his intensions where something more than just his proclaimed visions...

Dimitri placed his hand on my thigh under the table... I could tell he was thinking the same thing and was trying to comfort me...

servants arrived filling are glasses with blood wine, and place silver platters in front of us...the servants where extremely beautiful woman, who to my dislike came rather close to Dimitri, as well as Pavel... it was like they where doing it purposefully... the whole time I could feel Adrian watching my expression with concentration...
He seemed to be having a hard time as his brow creased ...

fuck this shit I was not gonna sit here and play nice little girl with him... I knew exactly what he was doing as I could feel Adrain's emotions...

" Adrian, you've made a great effort in assuring I came here. Now that I am, what is it that you want."

something was very off here, I sent a silent message thru the bond, " Don't eat or drink anything... something is wrong with your guy's food"
I could tell the both of them tensed...

" Well, Let us eat first then we will go into the topic at hand" he said in a smooth, to smooth voice, I almost agreed with him... I could tell that Dimitri was slightly dazed but made no move as Pavel felt the same way...

I stood up abruntly slightly shocking Adrian in the process and slammed both my fist down on the table, A low threatening growl escaped my lips...

" Your fucking complusion and druged food is not enough to get to me adrian..." He smiled a lazy smile but he was scared, I could feel it...

Both Dimitri and Pavel stood ready to bring down the house, but I placed a hand on both of there arms sending calming feelings thru the bond...

"You Better wipe that fucking smile off your face, and give me some answers now" I demanded as I pressed my complusion toward Adrian...

I could tell he was fighting me . If it wasn't for the fact that he was over a thousand years old he would have been spilling his guts out to me,and he knew it...

I could feel he was searching for my weakness, and was trying to control both men besides me...

" Fine have it your way Adrian" I raised my hand and he flew across the hall slamming into the floor...

I could feel him send a force my way and quickly threw up my shield blocking it ... " Pavel bring him to me now" I said in a voice I clearly didn't realize I owned,
as it roared across the room with a ring of aurthorutiy...

Black shadows surrounded pavel as his eyes turned red and he shimmered out of sight and appeared right next to adrian...grabbing him by the throat...

adrain tryed fighting him with his mind but Pavel just gave him an evil smile and tighten his gripp... I watched with boiling anger as the room filled with vampires ready to attack us... I felt dimitri wrapp his arms around my waist from behind and kiss my neck, saying " Tell pavel to hold him " in a whisper agaisnt my skin...

I sent pavel the silent message... as the other vampires tryed to make a move toward us... my anger reaching its limit I let out an explosive force as every threat in the room was slammed agaisnt the walls unable to move no matter how much they thrashed and growled...

" Release him Pavel " He removed his hands and I watched as Adrain stood up and was speechless as his coven was entirely useless to defend him...

In an alurring and almost seductive voice I said, " Adrian... come to me ... come to me Adrian... I want to know what your blood taste like...
You want me to taste you don't you adrian"

His eyes glazed over and his face took on that lazy smile as he walked toward me...

Someone called out, " Sire fight it, snapp out of it"

"Silence you fool" I growled out as I made sure no one else was able to speak as I made there mouths snapp shut...

I turned back to Adrian, " Yes thats it come to me Adrian... Let me taste the sweet wine that is your blood"

Adrian stood in front of me and tilt his neck for me... I felt my fangs extend to there full lenght... I reached one hand behind me and touched Dimitri's face,
letting him know I was only doing this to get answers thru the blood... he kissed my hand and placed one finger into his mouth sucking it, I could feel his fangs extended as well and moved my finger to slice it against his fang. He moaned as a drop of my blood reached his tongue as he continued to suck on my finger for a second longer...

I pulled my hand back and grabbed Adrian's head and striked his neck demanding answers as his blood flowed into my mouth...
I closed my eyes as I was flooded with visions of what was to come... The scenes playing before me where horriffic, as I pulled back after a minute and gasped...
