Freshman year= Done. Pain in the rear end. And Freshman P.E...don't even wanna think bout it.

Camp= Done. -By the way this camp was educational unfortunately :( It seemed harder than school. From 8 am to 5 pm. Only 1 hour break which includes lunch. HA! Guess which camp I won't be doing again next year? Only plus point = Learned A LOT about 3D Computer Design. I know I sound like such a nerd but trust me its really cool if you like working with computers.

Laptop= I finally got another replacement.

I don't know how many times I should say sorry to make it up to all my readers for my absence. I'm back and alive. I'm extremely sorry its been forever since I have updated but now that it is summer, I'm all for updating my chapters. Fanfiction is going to be one of my main priorities and I promise you on that. I know I suck for leaving you guys with a horrible cliffhanger but I hope you all will forgive me. Thanks to those who have been worried about me and sending encouraging messages and reviews :) I owe you guys.

Now without further adieu (lol I sound so professional there), Here's the next chapter.

Previously...

"Oh and some dude called asking to meet you somewhere tonight." Trevon added

"What? Who?" I asked confused

"Some guy named Adrian." Trevon replied

"ADRIAN!" I said while pretty much bouncing in my seat.

I can't believe he made it out here! I wonder how he figured out where I lived! Oh well the important thing was that I was going to get to see him!

"Oh boy." Matt said rolling his eyes

"Shut up. When do I get to see him?" I asked Trevon

"He gave us this address and he said tonight around 10." Trevon said while hesitantly giving me the address

"I am so freaking excited!" I said with a huge smile on my face

"Are you sure this is safe Amy? I mean your meeting this guy alone and its dark outside." Trevon asked

"It's fine. I trust him a lot." I reassured

"Whatever you say." Trevon said while his face told me he was still unsure

After dinner was over, I quickly said bye to the guys and headed over to the address. 1171 Bradley. It was really close to this restaurant and I walked and it didn't take long before I got there.

When I got there, I saw a big house. Strange. Adrian's meeting me in a house. I shrugged that off and knocked on the door. I realized the door was open and I went inside.

"Adrian?" I asked when not seeing anyone

"Guess again sweetheart." I heard a evil voice say

What Choice Do I Have?

...

Shit.

I turned around and saw Victor standing in front of me.

I blame myself. This is my entire fault. How could I have thought that Adrian was here? I knew all along that Victor would be planning something. How could I have let my guard down like that? I'm so stupid.

Even though I was terrified because I knew Victor probably had other Strigoi in the house, I decided that I didn't want to show him that I was scared. That would only provoke him more.

"Victor." I said somewhat calmly.

"I was looking forward to your visit." Victor said in a creepy tone.

I made my move to grab my sake but before I could pull my stake out from my boots, arms had grabbed me.

"Now we won't want to do that. Remove her weapons." Victor said to me and directed another Strigoi.

The other Strigoi removed my two stakes that I had hidden in my long boots.

Shit. Victor had noticed and now I was without any weapons. I should have staked him the first few seconds I saw him. But I guess that would have been pointless since there were other Strigoi in the room. I shrugged the thought of the other Strigoi away and looked back up at Victor.

"Just get to the point." I said while losing my patience.

"You never were the patient one. " Victor said while shaking his head

I shrugged and waited for him to continue.

"I want you dead." Victor added bluntly

Well that was definitely straight to the point. I shrugged again and looked around the room.

It was pretty terrifying to see that there were about 10 of the undead staring at me. I instantly identified two of the Strigoi. Zach and Carter.

Zach and Carter were the two Strigoi who I had met during my morning jog. They both smirked at me. I smiled back a little too sweetly.

Before I could say anything else, I heard footsteps and noise from outside.

I figured it was just Victor's Strigoi but from the face that Victor made, it seemed like he himself was surprised.

"Ahhh we have more guests. Tom won't you invite them in?" Victor said with an evil smirk

I was startled when I saw Tom. He was just a human. Why would Victor bring a human with him? I mean besides the obvious it really didn't look like they fed off of him.

"We are here for Amy." I heard a familiar voice say.

Shit.

That was definitely Trevon's voice. This meant the other brothers were here too. Shit. Shit. Shit.

"Looks like it's for you." Tom said with a smirk as he held the door open and I saw Matt, Trevon, and Will enter.

Tom. He's got a lot of ego for a human. Wasn't he concerned at all by the fact that we were practically surrounded by the Undead. He must have something on them.

When Matt, Will, and Trevon entered they all had their eyes fixed on me. I wonder how long it would take for them to realize that we were the food part of the undead all around us.

"What the fuck?" Matt yelled.

Oh look at that. Matt figured it out before I got to 1. Props to him.

I think I surprised myself when I started having random sarcastic conversations with myself in my head in a situation like this. But then again, sarcasm was always my style.

I looked up at them again and I could see that they were more alert now and ready to fight. I could tell that there were confused as to why I was so calm.

"Amy?" Trevon asked

"What's going on?" Will pretty much yelled

I didn't answer them. What could I say anyway? That I might have possibly screwed us all?

"Answer him." Matt said to me with anger in his voice.

Wait. Did Matt think that I was working with the Strigoi? Did they all think I was involved with this.

"I-I'm s-sorry. You guys need to leave." I managed to say.

I turned around and faced Victor.

"Let them go Victor. You only need me. They're not in this." I explained

"Now my sweet princess, what fun would that be?" Victor said evilly.

I growled at him.

"You'll pay for this." I said angrily

"If I remember correctly I'm in position of power here." Victor said with a smirk

"Leave them out of this." I said in a firm voice

"Amy. What the hell is going on?" Trevon asked

"Oh come on Trevon. She's obviously working for the Strigoi." Matt said as he took a few steps toward me.

"I don't work for them." I said pushing him away from me

"Hey now don't hurt our food." Zach mocked as he pulled Matt away from me

I knew what Zach was trying to do. He was trying to push me. Push me to the point where I give into him and admit I had lost. I wouldn't let that happen.

Even if meant risking Matt, Will, and Trevon's life I wouldn't back out right? Wrong Rose. Wrong. I can't do this. I can't risk there life for me.

"What do you want Victor?" I asked once again

There was only one thing to do right now. And that was to find out what Victor wants from me. I mean I know he wants me dead but then he would have killed me already. He obviously needs me for something.

"I think we've had this conversation Rose." Victor said with a smirk

"Rose?" Will spoke up

"Whoops did I spill your little secret right there. My apologies." Victor said not sounding apologetic at all

I grunted.

"Who's Rose?" Will asked in confusion.

Victor gave Will a hard look and looked back at me.

"Why are you doing this?" I said trying not to sound as helpless as I was feeling

"Maybe I'm bored. Honestly Rose, why do you think I'm doing this?" Victor questioned.

Hmmm I don't know. Just maybe because you are a top notch bastard. I thought to myself.

"Last time I checked you owed me." I stated out loud

"If it wasn't for me, your ass would have rotted in that jail by now. You owe me." I added

"I never believed in favors." Victor informed with another smirk

"Stop playing with her Victor. What do you want us to do with them." Carter, the Strigoi from earlier said pointing to Matt, Will, and Trevon.

"Tie them up." Victor directed and looked annoyed at Carter interrupting him

"And her?" Zach asked with a smirk towards me

"We're going have some fun with her. Just tie her hands up." Victor said in a voice that sounded like it would scare little children away.

Zach made his way to me again. The glare that I had on was nothing compared to the anger that was building up in me because of Victor.

I let him tie my hands up. I mean what else could I do? I had given in. I know, I know. Not my style at all, but I would hate for the guys to get hurt because of me. I would figure a way out of this. The only thing to do right now was to go along with it.

"I knew I would see you again." Zach whispered to me with a smirk

"Ha I'm so excited to meet you again!" I said with fake enthusiasm

"Oh I bet." Zach said with sarcasm dripping off his voice

Zach pulled me with him towards another room. I realized that Matt, Will, and Trevon were each tied to a chair and were all glaring at me. They probably still thought that I was in on this. Couldn't they tell that I was being threatened too? How thick can a person be?

I ignored there glares and looked at everyone else who was in the room. Besides the guys and me, the only other Strigoi in this room was Victor, Zach, and Carter. The rest were most likely in the other parts of the house.

"It's a pleasure having you in my home. May I introduce you guys to the living room?" Victor said with fake generosity

Haha very funny Victor. You know what else would be funny? Strangling you. I shook the thoughts of what I wanted to do with Victor away and focused on what was happening.

I looked around. It was true, we were in the living room. At that I couldn't help but grunt.

"What?" Victor asked with little confusion

"Nothing. We're in a living room. I don't know about you but I can almost taste the irony." I said with another grunt.

"Cute. You always were a charmer. Oh how I have missed you." Victor explained

"That feeling is sooo mutual." I said sarcastically

"Let's get down to business shall we?" Victor said ignoring my sarcasm

"Just tell me what you want." I said

"Adrian. I want him. And you are going to get him for me." Victor explained.

Adrian. Oh hell no. I would not bring him into this. I couldn't. Besides, what did Victor want from Adrian anyway? Information? Revenge? Power? Or possible all of the above. Since the Queen is dead, Adrian's left with all of things that Victor most likely wants.

Either way, like I said. I'm not bringing Adrian into this.

"No." I said firmly

"Aww young love. It always messes thing up now doesn't it? You will get him for me." Victor stated

"No. I thought you heard me the first time." I said again through gritted teeth

"On second thought. I want Vasilisa as well." Victor added evily

"Hell no. I refuse to do that." I said

"Now here's the fun part. You don't have a choice." Victor said with a laugh.

"Now I don't want to do this the hard way but you leave me no choice." Victor added

"What—"

"Boys you know what to do with her. Torture her until you get her to agree." Victor said interrupting me

Zach and Carter both nodded.

"And them?" Carter asked pointing towards Matt, Will, and Trevon.

"I don't know yet. It would be a waste to use them for food but I want have a little idea. The Zelkos." Victor said

"What about them?" Zach asked

"Let's just say you'd be surprised what the Royal Court would offer for Royal Moroi of their own. Plus, maybe they can help convince our Dhamphir here. She wouldn't want to see them used for food, now would she?" Victor said as a final statement and with nods from Zach and Carter, he left closing the door behind him.

Bastard.

"Rose. It would be best if you give in before you get hurt." Carter said pushing me to my knees in from of the guys

Zach and Carter waited for me to talk but I refused to say anything. I could tell that this just angered them more.

"Fine. Just remember. Your choice." Zach said

And with that Carter kicked me hard in my stomach.

Shit.

This kick was delivered at the same spot I had been kicked before. I had barely recovered from my stomach injury earlier.

In other words, this was going to be hell.

My Promise Chap 9 Sneak Peak

...

Another kick, and I started coughing. It felt like I couldn't breathe.

"What the fuck? Leave Amy alone." Trevon said while struggling with his tied rope

Despite their anger, Matt and Will also seemed worried for me but refused to show it.

"Amy? Well you just made that a little easier. Let's start with introductions. Meet Rose." Zach pointed towards me with a smirk

"She's not as innocent as you think." Carter added

Zach grabbed me and removed my hair away from my neck, revealing all of my molnija marks.

Shit.

This was going to be one hell of an explanation.

I felt like I owed a sneak peak. 15 Reviews for another update!
