I woke up again to a sudden stop, but this time, it was out the front of an old, dull rusty warehouse under a starry sky and a full moon. We all started quietly loading out of the car and Gina tagged behind me. Hans handed me a gun and a walkie talkie (with my name labelled on it) attached to a belt. I strapped it around my waist and shoved my stake into its holder. I pulled out my walkie talkie and switched it on.
"Everyone switch to channel 2. Good luck, take it away rose." Whispered Hans.
"Now back team, you go that way, there should be a door on the back of the building. Dont open until my say so. Front team, we'll enter over there at that door. We check the big room last. Lets move." I whisper lowly.
Me, Gina, Sam and Jess position ourselves in front of the door and await for the other team to position themselves aswell.
There was silence on the line until i heard jordan urgentyly calling. Then i hear stray gunshots.
"What is it." I ask frantically.
"They're here. Only a few. Rose help. Come quick. Meyday. Meyday." He said before his line was cut off.
I signalled for four guardians, includin dimitri, to go check it out.
"What, what was it." Asked Gina.
"They knew we were coming." I say flatly and stare after dimitri.
A few minutes later they coming jogging back shaking their heads.
"Damn it." I growl.
I signal for time. We bust into the warehouse to find that it was completely empty.
"Where are they. They're supposed to be here." Says Jess, clearly worried.
"Wrong warehouse." I growl again and walk back outside.
I point over to the warehouse next door and jog over to that building.
This time i have to send Sam and Jess around to the back.
"Clear." Sam whispers into the walkie.
"Ok. Go in." I say and slowly push the front door open. Before i can completely open it, gina stops me. "Rose, you have my back right. You promise you'll protect me." She says, tears filling her eyes.
"I promise." I smile. I slide the walkie talkie into its holder and i pull gina in through the door with me. Its clear but i can hear scattered conversations and footstep.
"This is the one." I whisper into the walkie talkie and hans answers with a simple 'yes'.
I slip around the corner, tightly gripping my stake and pull Gina up against a wall as a strigroi walks past. But he had red eyes. No black except his pupils.
What was going on in here.
I walk back out into the hall and see the first door. I grip the handle and twist it slowly. I push the door open, careful not to let it so much as creak, and it reveals a blood-splattered room with nothing in it but an empty chair.
Gina grips her mouth and i shove her back out but sh etries to push me back in. I finally get her out into the hall way and she whimpers. I turn and around and find myself face to face with that red eyed strigroi. I rip out my stake but he knocks it out of my hand. I dont want to shoot because it would alert the rest of the communtity so when he shoves me across the hall i crawl and pick up my stake. He runs at me and i try to punch him with my left hand and when he grabs the wrist i shove the stake, in my right hand, smack-bang into his heart. I quickly cover his mouth before he screams and i wait for him to stop moving before i let him go.
"Got one." I whisper into the walkie talkie and continue down the hall, my blood stained stake in my hand and Gina at my side. Tis was just the beginning.
