Alberta
I was sitting at my desk, making schedules for the other guardians when he ran in. Yuri ran into my office and was panting. I instantly stood up and looked at him.
"What is it?" I asked in a hard voice.
He was breathing hard and couldn't say anything at once "Strigoi...there were at least 30" he said. I was instantly out of my chair. I grabbed my earpiece that all guardians had. But Yuri had gotten his taken away after talking non stop to us 24/7.
I pressed the button to start talking "Attention all guardians, there are at least 30 strigoi invading the campus. All guardians are needed immediately" I said.
We ran out and found them in the courtyard. All but one of them had a Moroi in their grasp, ready to kill in a moment. All the guardians were crowding behind me. We knew that if we moved then they would be killed. We knew they wanted something or they would have kill the Moroi already.
I took a few steps forward with my hands up in submission.
"What do you want" I asked.
"We want Rosemarie Hathaway" said a small girl. She stepped forward. She looked around Rose's age.
"What do you want with Rose?" I asked them. I already had a feeling that I knew what it was about
"You know what its about. But I'm guessing you just didn't want to tell her did you. We will let all these Moroi" she sneered the last word "life in return for Rose" she said.
"No" I said
She smiled before yelling "Rosemarie Hathaway. Come out, come out where ever you are" she said in a taunting voice. "We warned you. If you don't come out we'll kill every one of these students and that includes your precious Dragomir princess"
There was a few moments of silence before Rose walked out of the tree line.
"Okay Scarlet, you win. I'll go with you if you release them" She said. What? How did she know this strigoi.
"Aw always the lovable Rose. I'm kind of disappointed. I was hoping that I could kill someone today" she said.
"What happened to you. The last time I saw you we were at a human school and you were happy. You were my best friend besides Lissa. Why did you turn?" She asked. Oh, This girl must have known Rose and the Princess when they ran away.
"Do you have any idea how much I hate you Rose. Everyone would use me to get to you. Now you are going to pay. And I can guarantee you that it will be painful" she said.
"Let them all go" Rose said. She laughed at that. She snapped her fingers and the strigoi all released the Moroi. Rose walked up to her.
"A deals a deal. You win. I'll go willingly" Rose said quietly but still confident. The strigoi smiled before pushing Rose in the direction that they were starting to walk. She looked back at the tree line with tears in her eyes before going out of sight.
It was completely quiet. Everyone was looking around but I was only looking at the tree line where Rose was starring.
After a few minutes Belikov walked out of the tree line with a sad and determined look on his face. Rose and Belikov were together a lot. I've been a mentor before and I know what's normal. They're together more than normal. Maybe there's something going on there. He walked up to me slowly. When he looked me in the eyes I swear I saw a deadly glint in them.
"We have to get her back" he said.
Stan (What the hell...might as well)
I was in my room, lying on my bed. Damn I need a girlfriend. Being around all these hormonal teenage couples makes me feel so alone.
Just then I heard "Attention all guardians, there are at least 30 strigoi invading the campus. All guardians are needed immediately" from my earpiece. I jumped out of bed and grabbed my stake and ran out of the building. Everyone was in the courtyard. I ran over to where all the guardians were and we all listened. We didn't attack or anything because if we did, the students would lose their lives.
...I'm skipping the conversations between Rose and Scarlet cuz it about the same thoughts that Alberta had...
"A deals a deal. You win. I'll go willingly" Rose said quietly but still confident. The strigoi smiled before pushing Rose in the direction that they were starting to walk. She looked back at the tree line with tears in her eyes before going out of sight.
There were three thoughts running through my mind at the moment.
1) YES! Rose's gone! (Haha...Stan's such a douche) 2) Wow #1 was mean 3) HELL JUST HAPPENED!
I looked around at everyone in shock. Everyone was silent. Not even a word was spoken. I saw some movement and looked up at Belikov. He was coming from the direction that Rose had come from. He was probably practicing with her. More training.
He stops a few feet in front of Alberta, and you could almost see the flame in his eyes. "We have to find her" he said in a deadly voice. Then I knew.
Something is up
Lissa Cuz no chapter is complete without a little Lissa :)
I was sitting in my room thinking about the whole Rose/Guardian Belikov thing. Yeah I know that its been like, four weeks but I'm still shocked as hell. I'm not really surprised. I always knew something was up with them, but I just wrote it off as more of a friendship, but in all truth, they complete each other. Its as if they need each other.
He is kind and patient where she is harsh and rash. Its as if one cant exist without the other. They are perfect.
I got up and went to the courtyard. I needed peace. All of a sudden I got the worst headache ever. I fell to the ground clutching my head. What is wrong with me. I was about to start screaming but someone grabbed me and had a hand over my mouth.
"I suggest you don't fight if you value your life princess" a sickly sweet voice said. I recognized it immediately as Scarlet. When we were mainstreaming she was one of our few friends. I looked around to see multiple Strigoi walking towards us, each with a Moroi in hand.
"Take her" Scarlet said to a man next to her and he did as she said.
They held me there and after a few minutes, other Strigoi holding Moroi started showing up. Each looked scared out of their minds. After a few more minutes the Guardians arrived but none stepped forward because the Strigoi had their arms around our necks. Shit! I really don't want to die today.
Blah blah blah...Rose leaves willingly Still skipping it cuz its the same thoughts
As soon as Rose was out of sight I fell to the ground. Sobs shook my body as tears streaked down my face, falling to the ground. Rose left me. My best friend left me all alone. I understand that she had to, but I just feel so alone. The only thing I hear is Guardian Belikov's deadly voice.
"We have to find her" Hell yeah we do. I got up and stood next to him. I tried to do the 'Rose' glare
"We will find her" I said then looked up at Belikov. He was looking at me with a slight smile on his face.
"Okay, all guardians are required to attend a meeting that will take place in ten minutes" she says loudly before turning to us. "Both of you. Come with me" she said before walking towards her office. Me and Guardian Belikov followed about ten feet behind.
"Are you going to tell her about you and Rose?" I ask him randomly
He looks disturbed "I may have to. I want to kill everyone that is delaying her rescue, and they might find that weird. They might suspect something from my reaction to being away from her" He said honestly. I really hope that it never comes up. Why am I thinking this instead of saying it?
"I really hope that it doesn't come to that. Know that if it does, I'm standing with you all the way. You are too valuable to Rose to lose" I said sincerely
"Why do you think they took her" I said sadly.
"This isn't the first time they have tried to take her" He said while looking at the ground. Wait, what did he say?
"What?" I said loudly. Alberta turned to look at us briefly before walking again. Why hadn't they told me about this?
"The day that she learned about our...relationship, she ran away. I found her outside the wards with a Strigoi trying to change her. I killed him and got her back before anything could happen. We thought it best to not tell you. I'm sorry princess" He said the last part quietly.
I nodded and just kept walking. We stayed quiet for the rest of the walk. When we got to the meeting room, everyone else was already there. It was a huge room with a huge table and chairs surrounding it. I felt like I was back in medieval days. Guardian Petrov motioned for me and Guardian Belikov to sit and we did.
"Okay, first things first, are all of you caught up in the situation?" she asked
Yuri cleared his thought "I think that we all know what is going on, but the question is why they want her" he said. We all looked at Guardian Petrov in question. She looked a bit guilty and bowed her head but did not speak.
"What are you not telling us Alberta" Guardian Belikov just about growled at her. Everyone looked at him in shock. Yeah it was a stressful situation but he was freaking out the most.
"Belikov! Calm down" Stan said sternly. In favor of Rose I will be the one to say it. Stan's such a douche. Aw I miss her already. Guardian Petrov was still quiet.
"Alto, relax. He has a right to be angry with me. The truth is, there is a prophecy. It's about Rose" she said quietly. All of us looked at he shocked. I was pissed. Why hadn't she mentioned this before. I'm her best friend. Her bond mate. Ugh!
"What!" I shouted. I stood up from my seat and started yelling. "Why wouldn't you tell us" I yelled
"Princess, sit down so we can figure this out" Guardian Belikov said in a cold voice. I could tell he was barley able to stay calm himself.
Guardian Petrov took a slow breath before continuing "We thought it would be best to not tell anyone about it. Only a few people know, but we didn't know for sure if it was about Rose. It was written hundreds of years ago" she said before picking up a piece of paper and reading.
Dimitri Pov
I am in shock that Alberta had kept this from us. Valissa was standing up and yelling at Alberta about keeping it a secret.
"Princess, sit down so we can figure this out" I said sternly. In all truth, I was really close to just freaking out to. I wanted to hit someone. I wanted to kill someone.
Alberta took a breath before continuing "We thought it would be best to not tell anyone about it. Only a few people know, but we didn't know for sure if it was about Rose. It was written hundreds of years ago" she said before picking up a piece of paper and reading.
"A hero will rise To end the deadly war She shall chose one side And the other will exist no more
A Father that is deadly and fierce And a mothers reputation that's even worse She is famous among all But that may also be a curse
Her heart is torn Between love and hate Doing what would be right Or choosing her mate
He is connected to her in a unknown way She knows him like no other Both are willing to give anything For the chance to be together
She's bred to be fierce And the deadliest of all But without her lover The good will fall
But if wed by evil And not by good Her heart will turn bad Unlike what it should
Whichever side she shall lead Will be the victor of this war But the decision will be hard On which will exist no more"
I was in shock. I'm sure that everyone was, but I'm sure that I'm the worst. I looked around and everyone was wide-eyed and open mouthed. This prophecy wasn't only about Rose. It was also about me. If I wasn't with her, Evil would take over.
"It has to be about her" Also said. He was standing up. All of us were now. There was too much tension in the room to stay seated.
"She's the one that decides the outcome of the war" A new guardian named Anthony Scoritzu said "Good has to be us and Evil is the strigoi. So she has to help us win" another guardian named Ezera Starez commented
Alto spoke up then "But listen to it. It says 'But without her lover, the good will fall'. Who ever it is, we need them or else we'll all die" He said.
"Okay, so now we really need to find this dude" Ezera said. Shit! What do I do?
"How are we supposed to find him" Celeste asked.
"I don't know, but we have to try. We have no choice, we need him" Stan said.
"God dammit!" I growled loudly. I had no choice did I?
"Belikov!" Alberta chastised me for saying that
"Calm down, I know who it is" I said quietly. Everyone started yelling at the same time
"What!"
"Who is it!"
"How do you know!"
"Why didn't you say anything earlier!"
"Who!"
Everyone was speaking at once. I've had enough of this shit. Don't judge my language, the girl I love just got kidnapped. I have every god damned reason in the world to be pissed.
"Shut the fuck up!" I yelled. Everyone got quiet quickly. They all only knew the quiet side of me that was respectful.
Alberta decided to speak up now "Well Belikov, who is her true mate?" she asked me. I looked at everyone before looking straight into Alberta's eyes.
"Its me" I said
