Chapter 14 The Attack
I wake up, in a panicky state, something feels off. I nudge Dimitri.
"Rmh" he's asleep.
"Dimitri, remember how I told you that I could sense strigoi. Well, I'm getting that feeling again, I don't know what to think of it. I can't tell whether it's from a dream or if it's real." I say in a very worried tone
"Alright, I'm up. What do you want to do about this?" he says, rubbing his eyes.
"I don't know, but I have a real panicky feeling about this."
"Ok, ok. Take some deep breaths and let me put some clothes on, we'll go check it out before alarming anyone." He says, while rubbing my back.
"Alright, I'll do the same." I say, sighing.
We go outside, because we know there is no way a strigoi could get into the palace. We circle the back woods area. We reach the waterfall area and hear footsteps and many of them. We peak around a tree, and there they are, there has got to be more than 20 of them. Slowly and quietly we step back.
"Well, what are we going to do?" I ask in a lower than whispering voice.
"You're going to go get help and I'm gonna stay back here and fight them off."
"That ain't happening, I'm not leaving you." I say thinking back to the last time he told me to go get help.
"If we go in there together, they're just going to gang up on us, we need help."
"I'm not leaving you, I can't lose you again." I say with tears coming to my eyes
"You're not going to lose me." He says putting his hands on my shoulders
"I can't take that chance." I say trying to fight back the tears
"What do you want me to do, there are no other options, I can't let them get to the others." He says frustratedly
"If you insist on staying here while I get help, I'd like it if you'd stay right where you're standing and just watch them to make sure they don't go anywhere." I say as my last hope
"Alright, I can do that, now go, run." He says
I ran faster than I have ever run before. It's like time was paused. I ran straight to the security office in the palace. I burst the doors.
"Mrs. Belikov is everything alright?" the door attends ask as I sprint by.
I shake my head no and keep running. I get to the office and tell them everything, they send me out with 30 guardians, that should be enough. We run to Dimitri, who has a big smile on his face, it's his this is war face. I run and kiss him and we enter the battle zone.
Heads and limbs are flying left and right, there is 2 wounded of ours, but that's pretty good, for the circumstances. Dimitri and I are at the front, working on the leader, or what we assume is the leader, this dude is putting up a major fight. Dimitri gets him with a clothesline slam, I pull me stake out and bust right through his ribcage and straight through the heart. We turn around looking for our next opponent, but what we see is all the strigoi on the ground.
There were a total of 4 wounded, we carry them back to the palace to be treated. Dimitri and I head back to our place. We sit in silence for what seems like hours but is only a few minutes. It's like nothing happened, other than a few bruises we are fine. We curl up on the couch and fall asleep watching a movie.
What'd you think, please comment and tell me :)
