Rose's POV
I left the room after drinking the boy. Alyssa needed to be taught that I was the one in charge. She needed to realize that if she doesn't obey, she will die. Learning about spirit wasn't worth being made a fool of by a weak Moroi brat. She needed to learn her place.
I went downstairs and made a phone call before leaving. I got in the car and drove out to Baia.
I soon arrived at Viktoria's house. I walked up to the door and it flew open before I had the chance to knock. Viktoria threw her arms around me. "Rose! What happened to you? I tried to go talk to you but you were gone. The Strigoi tried to kill me but Christian stopped them and took me home. He wouldn't tell me anything."
I looked at her for a minute before taking her hand. "Viktoria, we can't talk about this here. Dimitri misses you. Please come with me."
With absolutely no hesitation, she grabbed her jacket, yelled to her mom saying that she was going out, and ran outside. We got in the SUV and drove off.
"I'm sorry about how I reacted about Rolan." she said as we drove out of town. "I know you guys don't have as much control over your anger and he was an asshole."
I glanced at her, and then back at the road.
"Rose? I don't know if I can do this."
"Do what?" I asked confused.
"Take care of this baby." She put her hand on her stomach. "I'm only sixteen."
I pulled over onto the side of the road and turned the engine off. I turned towards her and looked into her eyes where small tears were starting to form. "Viktoria, you are not alone with this. Your family loves and wants to help you. Dimitri and I are here for you and you can always come to us when you need to."
She started to say something but I motioned for her to be quiet when I heard something. I told her to stay in the car as I got out to follow the sound. I could smell alcohol and tobacco in the air. I turned around when I heard the car door open and Viktoria gasp. I ran back to the car at human speed and saw a man holding Viktoria with a gun to her head. He looked at me and nodded toward a dark van a little ways down the road.
"Let her go now." I said firmly with no fear at all.
"Shut up and get in the van or I will kill you both!" he said as he placed his finger over the trigger.
I looked at Viktoria who had pure fear all over her face. She locked eyes with me and mouthed do it.
In about a second the gun went flying through the air, Viktoria was freed, and the man was in my grip. He was clearly shocked and tried to pull away but of course he was no match for me. I bit into his throat and enjoyed the cry of pain and fear. As soon as it became a moan, I snapped his neck and drank some more.
When I was done, I went to go make sure Viktoria was all right. "Are you okay?" I asked her when I found her sitting in the car.
"I..I'm fine." her voice shook as she said this.
I closed the door and went around to get in the car. I started the engine and started driving after Viktoria got buckled.
When we finally got there, Dimitri came out and I could tell he knew something had happened. I told Viktoria to go wait inside as I walked over to talk to Dimitri.
"Why were you gone so long and why do I smell so much fear on Viktoria?" he asked worried.
"There was a minor incident on the way here." I told him and saw his eyebrows go up surprised and curious. "A human put a gun on her and tried to get us to go with him. It wasn't really a problem, I took care of him easily."
Dimitri came over and wrapped his arms around my waist as he leaned over and kissed my neck. "I love you so much Roza."
I wish we could have just stayed like this forever, but of course, that was not realistic. We sprung apart when we heard Viktoria scream and we ran inside to find her pinned to a wall by one of the new strigoi. In less than a second, Dimitri was there and ripped off the strigoi's head. There was a look of surprise on the strigoi's face before it just went slack. Viktoria fell to the floor crying and I went to go make sure she was okay. I helped her up and took her upstairs. I let her lay down on the bed in one of the rooms so she could calm down.
As soon as she fell asleep, I went back downstairs to talk to Dimitri.
