RPOV:
Finally letting myself be with Dimitri was the hardest thing I've ever had to do because if I finally gave in then my heart was his to do whatever he wanted with it. However, with that first kiss I knew he would never do anything to hurt me ever again. As we were walking through the woods, he clutched my hands and I him for I didn't want this moment to ever end. I looked up into his eyes and they were filled with so much love. Love that seem directed at me. He inched forward and I closed the gap between us. The kiss was sweet like sugar and I smiled at him. Now we can be a family.
All of a sudden, I started getting nauseous. It was horrible. What is hap- Oh shit! I knew before I saw him and yet I still wasn't fast enough. A strigoi jumped out of the trees and tackled Dimitri to the ground. Years ago when the twins were about 3, we were attacked by a strigoi. I had felt a nauseous feeling before he attacked us. I managed to get us away, but later I realized that I could sense when strigoi were near. I watched as Dimitri fell to the ground. Fortunately, that wasn't enough to completely take down a guardian as experienced as Dimitri. He went right into guardian mode and started fighting him. I knew my nausea wouldn't be that bad if it was only one. There had to be more around somewhere. I felt something behind me and knew it was a strigoi. I spun quickly with a roundhouse kick and it landed straight to the chest of a strigoi. He came at me again but I blocked his hits. Sometime during my fight and Dimitri's three other strigoi had joined in. I was stuck fighting two while Dimitri had to fend with three. I managed to land a hit to the side of the head of one strigoi and he fell. The other dove for my legs but I kneed him in the face. I pulled my stake from my shoe and thrusted it into the chest of the first strigoi. The second one tried to jump at my back. I spun out of his hold but he landed a kick to my stomach. It hurt like hell but that only fueled me to kill him more. I did a low spin and knocked him to the ground. I plunged my stake through his chest piercing his heart. As the life faded from him he had a smug grin on his face and said "Your kids look just like you."
"Jackass," I muttered.
I froze.
"Wait! How the hell does he know I have kids?"
I looked over to where Dimitri was staking the last strigoi with a worried expression on my face. He got up and walked over to me.
"Let's not panic too much. Hopefully, some of his friends just happened to see them-"
"-or something could have happened to them. Dimitri! We have to go back to the school. NOW!"
"Okay Roza," he said trying to keep calm, but I could see his eyes with filled with worry about the kids.
We ran through the woods towards the school. As we broke through, we saw that the school was already in a full-fledged battle. Every available guardian and even a few novices were fighting. A strigoi tried to punch Dimitri but he blocked it. He started fighting him.
"I'm going to find the kids," I shouted to Dimitri.
I saw him nod and he went back to battle as another strigoi joined in the fight.
I raced to the novice dorms. A few guardians were fighting off strigoi so none would enter. I ran past them and through the door. All of the novices, those that were not as skilled to fight, were packed into one of the rooms behind the storage closet that we kept just in case something like an attack on the school happened. I looked around helplessly, but I couldn't spot neither Anya nor Nicolai.
"Anya! Nicolai!"
Everything was chaotic. The kids were trying to keep calm but they were just kids so it wasn't expected of them to be able to do it. Many were talking on their phones to parents, friends, etc. That's when I realized that most of the kids in there were Moroi. They must have ushered some of the Moroi into the Novice building and the rest of the novices were probably sent to the Moroi dorms to protect it.
I saw Shawn Castile sitting on a chair, leaning back against the wall with an ice pack on the back of his head. I rushed over to him.
"Shawn? What happened?"
"Anva tur tijen-" he started to say.
"Shawn? You might have a concussion. I want you to lie down on the couch until we can get a doctor to look at you."
He widened his eyes at me and shook his head. He stopped, took a deep breath, and squeezed his eyes open and closed.
"Anya!"
"What about her," I asked anxiously.
"Taken…by strigoi. We were…walking… find you... some…something…hit over... back...my head. Gone…when wake up," he said slowly.
"So you're saying that Anya was taken by strigoi?" I screamed.
Everyone stopped chattering and stared at me. Shawn nodded at me and closed his eyes. I led him over to the couch and walked out of the room. I had to find my daughter! I didn't know where Nick was either. On my way rushing out of the building I bumped into a guardian. I looked up to see Eddie rushing in.
"Rose! We need help over in the elementary dorms! We hardly have any guardians over there and the ones that are over there can't keep up for much longer!"
"I can't, Eddie! I have to find my kids!"
"I know you're worried about your kids, but we need help here!"
"No! I need to find my kids!"
"Don't you think I'm worried about Shawn too? I heard he probably has a concussion. The doctor is all the way on the other side of the school where the elementary school kids are and there's no way I could possibly get him them or her here in time and avoid strigoi! So pull it together and act like the damn guardian I know you still are!"
I stopped and breathed.
"You're right. Let's go!"
We started running towards the other side of the school. Just as I was running I felt very scared and frightened and worried about….me? I realized that they weren't my feelings.
"Hold on Eddie! Something's wrong with Lissa!"
I went into Lissa's head. She was in her living room with Christian and Nathan. I could see guardians around them. I assumed they were the Queen's Guardians. Everybody knew of them but you never really knew who they were. They were famous for being the best of the best. When guardians retired from being a Queen's Guardian, most royal Moroi tried to get them to be their guardians. I was supposed to be one when Lissa because Queen, but obviously that didn't happen.
Lissa was pacing around. Christian was sitting on the couch trying to calm her and Nathan was staring at Lissa and repeatedly checking his phone. She was worried about me.
"Do you think she's alright?"
"Liss, I'm pretty sure Rose can take care of herself. Plus she has Dimitri and he would never let something happen to her."
"I know, but you never know what could happen."
She groaned.
"I wish I knew what was going on!"
I pulled out of her head to see Eddie watching me intently.
"Is she okay?"
"Yeah, just worried about me. I'm going to go check on her really quick."
"Rose," he warned.
"I know. I'm just going to pop my head in and I'll meet you over there."
He gave a short nod and starting run in the direction of the elementary dorms. I ran to Lissa's house and saw guardians posted around it; some were fighting a lot of strigoi and many of the strigoi were lying dead on the ground. Damn! I guess they are that good! The guardian at the door recognized me and let me in. I ran into the living room.
"ROSE!" Lissa shouted in joy as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Yes, I'm fine. I just wanted you to stop worrying, okay?"
"Rose, please stay here."
"You know I can't. There are other people besides you that need protection plus the guardians are doing a fantastic job I see."
"But Rose you're my best friend and I don't want you hurt."
"I promise to be safe. I really have to go."
She gave me another hug and I ran out of the house and head towards the other dorms. I heard footsteps behind me and saw Christian running behind me. For a Moroi, he still managed to keep pace with me.
"Pyro! What do you think you're doing?"
"I'm going to help you Rose! I don't want Lissa to worry that something is going to happen to you."
"What if something happens to you? Liss will never forgive me and Nathan won't have a father."
"I'm helping you whether you like it or not", he said giving me a defiant look.
I groaned.
"Fine, but all you do is set them on fire. Do NOT try to fight them. Promise?"
"I promise not to try to fight them."
We reached the elementary dorms and I could see a few guardians fighting off some of the Strigoi but a lot more Strigoi were coming and they were quickly outnumbering the guardians.
"Ready for some Strigoi ass-kicking?" I asked Christian.
"Always," he said giving me his signature smirk.
I know! I'm evil but this chapter was already over 1600 words WITHOUT the author notes BUT don't worry more will come. I wanted to include the Rose/Christian fight scene because I feel that it bonds them more like brother and sister. The next chapter will probably be short because it's just going to be them fighting but you never know because I tend to change my mind! Haha! Anyway, please REVIEW!
