This chapter is all thanks to dpower she basically walked me throuhg the steps and I was just the one to put it all into words:). She's an awesome writer so check out her stories.

With that aside on with the chap:D

CPOV

It was warm and the sun was out, so I wanted to have a picnic with Lissa. We were set up in this little spot that I found my first year at the academy. I was asking her if she would break out of the academy with me and see the world for the billionth time.

"Haha and why would I go and do that… hmm?"

"Because you love me!"

"Yea I do… huh? I wonder how you figured that out Mr. Ozera?"

"I'm a mind reader babe, you didn't know?"

"Listen, Christian, there's things out there that we aren't meant to see. Things that I wish I hadn't. Trust me when I say you're better off not knowing all there is to see in the world."

"Okay…okay you're probably right, but you know you shouldn't have gotten so dolled up for me. You are beautiful the way that you are. Unless you have a better reason…" (Face with the eyebrows to the hairline.)

"I assure you I-…."

Beep! Beep! Beep! ... Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Ahh stupid phone!" I turned to go and turn the annoying contraption off when I saw that it was a text message from Dimitri. I opened my phone and read what it said.

MEET ME IN THE COMMONS NOW! IT'S ABOUT LISSA AND ROSE!

I closed my phone and jumped out of bed. I knew something was going to happen! I had a bad feeling about this trip! I just had hoped that I was wrong. I hate it when I'm right. I was running at full speed now to the commons. I just hope that they got into trouble with the law. That would be soooo much easier to bear. But no. Nothing will prepare me for the next thing that happened.

I stopped at the door just too scared to meet my fate. I finally get enough courage to open the door and when I walk in I am surrounded by guardians. I walk directly to the middle of the horde and find Dimitri with Abe and Janine. I didn't like the looks of this at all.

"What's this about Dimitri?" my voice was laced with fear. Dimitri looked like shit. His hair was a mess, bags under his eyes and he had a little scruff. I was about to ask my question again when Dimitri finally spoke up.

"Rose and Lissa were kidnapped by Strigoi." That was exactly what I didn't want to hear. My whole world just came crashing down. My vision started to blur with tears, but before they spilled I wiped away the evidence. Inside me something just snapped. I saw red and knew that I would stop at nothing until I had the love of my life safe in my arms again.

"Belikov we need to get this search party on the road now! I will stop at NOTHING until Lissa and Rose are home safe!" I could feel all the blood rushing to my head in exhilaration. Dimitri nodded and started sending guardians off to go look for Rose and Lissa.

As soon as we got in the car I turned to Dimitri. "How did this happen?" my voice sounded so demanding that I knew he wouldn't be able to avoid the question. He sighed in exhaustion. He probably has been asked that question a million times today, but I didn't care.

"I-I don't really know. All I know is that I got a call late at night and it was Rose. She sounded so scared and out of breath. She and Lissa were running from strigoi. She was so frantic and was trying to tell me what was happening. She was being so brave. I wish we would have been stubborn and went with them even if they didn't want us coming. I wish I could have gotten to them faster, but by the time I got there they were gone with nothing left in their tracks. Buuut there's no more time for wishing just doing. I-I just want them safe." He sounded so broken, and I knew exactly how he felt.

"Me too Dimitri. Me to."

Two days. It has been two long stressful days. We have found not a trace of our girls. The only thing that has kept us going was our stories. Dimitri and I have been sharing stories about our girls since the third hour of day 1. We couldn't just sit and sulk. It was too depressing.

Flashback

"So Belikov, I know that you don't want to, but we have to talk. This is far to depressing to just stay quiet and let our imaginations run wild like this. So don't think that I'm being a little girlish for this, but let's talk about our girls. You know, pass the time." I looked over at him and he was nodding his head at me like a thank you for not letting his mind cut a deeper wound than what was already there. He looked over at me and smiled in a sort of 'thanks for not making it awkward and saying that I was hurt', and began to speak.

"So how was it for you when you first met Lissa?"

I smiled as I thought about my wonderful girl and how I can put my heart into words. "Well I just remember thinking that she was the most beautiful girl that I've ever seen in my whole entire life. She was so timid and quiet that I wouldn't have known that she was a royal. I wouldn't have cared if she wasn't one either. She has the most beautiful heart and it covers her soul and makes her the most beautiful person that I've ever met in my whole entire life. I just wanted to get to know her and love her for the rest of my life. Never let anything happen to her. I guess I failed at that, huh?"

"No. What happened to them was because of someone wanting to get to them. Someone who really wants them bad. The Strigoi probably want Rose for her fighting skills and Lissa…, they probably want Lissa just to say that they ended the Dragomir line."

"That's exactly what I feared. Why is someone always after Lissa? It makes it worse that people still think I am going to choose to be a Strigoi like my parents. That's why my aunt and I are so close. She was the only one that was ever there for me. I don't know what I'd do if I lost her and Lissa. Lissa is the love of my life, but Aunt Tasha is my family and that never changes. I just hope that one day people realize that I'm not going to choose death. I will always choose life." I was shaking so hard that I knew I needed to calm down. I changed the subject to calm myself down faster.

"So. How was it when you met Rose?" I looked over at him and saw that he had a smirk on his face and knew that this was going to be good.

"Well at first I thought she was a brat. A beautiful and annoying brat. Just saying stuff to get on people's nerves, you know? Then I looked past all that and saw what a beautiful person she really was. She stole my heart, she was so breathtaking. I knew at that moment I loved her and there was no going back. I tried to distance myself because of our titles and the age difference, but she was too stubborn for that. She wouldn't let go, and I never truly did. So you know how that turned out. All I remember was that hearing her beautiful voice and seeing her beautiful face was all I wanted to wake up to in the morning. I love her so much. I don't know what I'll do if anything happens to her."

In that moment I realized how serious Dimitri and Rose were. I knew that if they had to they would fight the Moroi system to be together.

End of Flashback

That was the last we talked in a while. We both seemed content with how things ended in the conversation so neither of us breeched the subject.

So…this is us in the car just sitting and waiting, waiting for something, anything. I was about to start up another round of conversation when I hear Janine pipe up on the walkie-talkie.

Heads up boys we have company, and they don't look friendly.

Roger that boss.

Dimitri looked over at me sheepishly. "I've always wanted to say that."

We were nearing where Janine and Abe have stopped with guardian Petrov and two others. It was in a little patch of field right on the edge of a tree line that goes into the forest. The other guardians were just arriving like us. What I saw brought me back to the ski trip. All I saw was red eyes. Red eyes everywhere. They looked like they had been waiting for us, like we were the guests that were late to the party. The thing that was the most creepy was that all of them were looking mostly at Dimitri. When I looked at him, the look on his face informed me that he had realized the fact. I bent my head to whisper quietly to him.

"Why are they all looking at you?"

"I don't know. I think it's because I'm the biggest." One of the things started snickering and looked towards me, too focused on Dimitri to give me his full attention. Not that I was complaining.

"I wish that were the case." His build was kind more like Dimitri's, but not as big so I knew that he used to be a dhampir. "If all of you just cooperate we will make this very easy." He seemed to be the leader of the group. It was silent for while and then Janine spoke up.

"We will NEVER cooperate with Strigoi! Ever! So you can change that train of thought right now!" All the Strigoi tensed up ready to attack.

"That's what I was hoping you'd say." And with that said all of the Strigoi came at us head on. Dimitri and I went back to back while I burned and he staked. They were coming on strong. The good thing was that they were all paying so much attention to Dimitri that the other guards could stake them before they knew it. The bad thing was that there were too many too fast. I couldn't seem to get my fire out fast enough. Every time one Strigoi would go down there was another in its place. Dimitri on the other hand looked like he could still hold his own weight.

This fight felt like it had been going for hours, but I knew it had only been 30 min at the most. I was beginning to get weak and my flame was getting weaker. I knew that I was going to give out if I kept up using this much power. All I see are dhampir and strigoi falling. Too many falling.

"THEY'RE COMING ON TOO STRONG DIMITRI! I'M LOOSING HEAT!" I turned to tell him more and saw an opening in their oncoming of attacks. "Dimitri, look an opening! We have to move fast!" I turned just in time to see him nod to signal that he heard me. I started drifting toward the opening and when I had a clear path I nodded in his direction and waited for him to nod back. We both sprinted for the tree line and had just made it when I saw a Strigoi pop out from behind one of the trees. Dimitri threw him off his back and another was about to strike him in the head, but I burned him just in time. He fell screaming to the ground and Dimitri staked him.

"Thanks man that was close."

"No problem Dimitri. Any day"

In the acts of thanking each other, we had forgotten about the other Strigoi. He came behind Dimitri. I was about to warn him, but I guess Dimitri felt him approaching and turned around to face him just as the Strigoi went to strike. Dimitri was still turning so he was caught off guard and went crashing into a tree. I ran to help him when I heard a loud crack and felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. Before I could react, I felt it again and fell to the ground. Right before my eyes closed I turned in time to see Dimitri taken down the same way by two other Strigoi.

Then everything went black.

TPOV

I hate this bitch! This little girl thinks she can just take MY Dimitri away! Well she's wrong. As I stare at the evil in my existence I realize how much I really hate her. Rosemarie Hathaway will die today, and when she does Dimitri will be mine. Willing or not.

I have loved him ever since we were kids and now I have become a Strigoi so that we can love each other and watch our enemies die in our hands. We will be the supreme rulers of Moroi and Strigoi communities. Once he joins, I can get this annoying Victor out of the way. He is so frustrating. Just because he is a couple months older than me-strigoi wise-he thinks that he could dominate me. I don't think so! I will either rule him or kill him. Most likely kill him though, because he can't get in the way of me and Dimitri's plans of domination.

I used to feel that thinking like this was wrong, but now I get it. I get why Christian's parents chose this life style. It's all about power. Unknown amounts of power. Ahh Christian. I can't wait to show him how much we've been missing out on. With his little princess girlfriend already turned he will surely join us with no thoughts about it. He will be me and Dimitri's second hands. First I have to smooth out the bumps, and bump one is Rosemarie Hathaway.

I had just sucked her blood and left her in the same room as the 'princess'. Victor was waiting with two other losers outside the door for me. He came to stand behind me.

"Hey baby, how did you and my prodigy go?" He was on my neck and was getting on my nerves, but I decided to suck it up and play along.

"Hey what did I say about calling her that? Hmm?" I said it in the sweetest voice I could think of.

"Oh hun you know that I want her to follow in my footsteps. I want her to be the best she can be. She will rule the entire Strigoi world with us."

He pressed my backside against his erection. This old man gets an erection over anything, but he has a big dick and I love it. No matter how much I hate him he has a humongous cock that I love and that will never change. I rubbed my ass against him and heard his stifled moan.

I don't know what it is, but ruling and denomination just turns me on. Maybe it's a Strigoi thing.

"You know I have important news, but maybe it should wait." He sounded out of breath. I smiled and turned to him. I unzipped his zipper, had his pants and his boxers off in 2 seconds flat. I grabbed his erection and started jerking and pulling as hard and fast as I could.

"Come on baby you can multi-task. Tell mommy what's on your mind." I smiled and kissed his lips. He faintly nodded his head and began his shaky explanation.

"Okay…ugh…you see…ungh…t-they caught Belikov and your nephew." He said in a kind of whisper.

I paused. "Oh really and where are they now?"

"They are here now in the cellar. Still unconscious. There are other guardians." By this time I had forgotten about the old man. This was good because he pulled up his pants and buckled up. I turned toward the exit and he followed.

"Well we should get ready for our guests."

VPOV

Boss we got them.

Good job. Hurry in daylight is close.

Were on our way boss.

Hurry.

*Click*

My plan was finally coming together. I was getting Rosemarie all to myself. I have never told anyone, but I love her. She is the most beautiful creature I have ever met. Once I change her we will rule the nation, but of course we have to make some adjustments fist. We are taking Tasha down. All our enemies including Belikov. I never liked him after he killed my daughter. After she is turned I will change her mind. I meant what I said to her and that Lissa character.

We will rule together. I am very sure of it.
