You all rock! Thanks for the reviews! Here's a treat another chapter earlier than I had planned. I don't own nadda! I hope this pulls on your heart because it did mine. Enjoy, Mandy.
Everyone in the room and was sitting around while I was on the couch as they all watched me cry holding Lissa close to me. I didn't want to let her go. What if something happened because I left? What happens if she needs me because I'm the only one who can read her, hear her thoughts and react when necessary? We were leaving in two hours. I had two hours to try to change everyone's mind. I had two hours to think of some way to show everyone that we should stay. Just when I thought I had them second guessing their decision some idiot went and ruined it for me by trying to break through the guards outside our door, yelling for me to see them.
"See Rose. It's just safer for you to leave. Things will be alright here. I give you my word that nothing will happen to Lissa." My mother said as I slumped over defeated. Lissa wrapped her arms around me and squeezed and for the first time she was trying to comfort me rather than the other way around.
"Why don't you come with us Lissa? You know let someone clean the mess up and then return with us all?" I knew I was stretching but I was desperate for anything.
"Rose. I love you to death. I have to stay. Everyone needs to see me lead not run away. It's going to be hard enough with the trials coming up and I don't want people to have no faith in their queen." Lissa was sounding so sure of herself, so confident. It was great and all but it just proved that she didn't need me here. I can't believe how bad I'm pouting about this.
Dimitri was out making sure our trip to the plane strip was safe seeing how it was dark outside and there had been reported spotting of strigoi around the area. My dad was carrying around Nick, who had his little hand wrapped around his big finger. I had never seen my dad like this and wondered if he was this way with me when I was an infant. Adrian was sitting on the other side of me holding my hand. He was coming with us but he knew how hard this was for me and was just giving me support. Viktoria was holding Tyrla but decided that she would get more time when we were in Russia so she handed her to my mother.
Christian had gone with Dimitri. I guessed that Dimitri was showing Christian some ways to escape if Lissa was in danger. I thanked my lucky stars that Christian was a fire user. Someone knocked on the door and I was sure it would be someone that would just prove further that I needed to go. Instead it was Victor, he was caring a bag of what smelled like Chinese food. When he entered I could see the group of people trying to get a look into the room from the hallway. Damn people were seriously screwing my plans up.
I sat crossed legged on the floor while I ate my food. My mother traded my dad for baby rights and they didn't sit down to eat. I guess they wanted as much time with the babies as possible. When Alberta came through the door I was sure it was close for our time to leave and I really didn't know how I was going to let go of Lissa.
Two warriors entered with her that I had never seen before. I almost fell over laughing when one of the men looked at the babies and Victor stepped in front of him blocking his view. "I meant to harm. I just wanted to get a look, sorry." The guardian said as he grabbed four luggage cases. The other guardian grabbed the rest and when they were gone I broke down again. When Dimitri and Christian got back I got worse, it was time to go. Everyone walked us to the gates to the plane strip.
The only ones to escort us to the plane were my mother, Alberta and two more guardians. The plane strip was outside the wards and Lissa could not put herself in danger. I walked towards the plane stairs every once and a while turning to waive. It was at one of these times that Lissa's face went completely white. 'Rose look on the other side of the strip!' she yelled in my head. I didn't need to look because as soon as she told me I felt the sick felling I get when there are strigoi around. This time it was bad. Dimitri turned to see what was wrong with me when I made a gagging sound and when he caught my stare he knew what was wrong. He rushed forward, took the twins from my arms and handed them to Adrian and Viktoria. Viktoria handed Adrian Nick and told him to get on the plane.
Victor was behind Adrian making sure nothing came up behind him, protecting his back as they ran up the stairs to the plane. Dimitri, Viktoria, my mom, Alberta and myself stayed making sure the plane stayed safe until take off. I could hear the plane warm up but the strigoi were coming faster. My mother, Dimitri and I knew what we would do if they got too close and waited till we had them closer. When we kneeled down to hit the ground that's when I heard someone whisper behind us, "Robert."
I looked quickly and saw Victor standing in the door way of the jet waiting for us when he caught sight of one of the strigoi in the front line coming at us. Victor ran down the stairs and he tried passing us but I grabbed him around his waist and held him back. Robert and the rest of the strigoi stopped fifteen feet in front of us and I knew we couldn't kill them like we had planned. Dimitri must have felt the same was because he stood up with me putting his hand on Victor's chest.
"Well brother I see you changed sides. That's too bad. But you still have time to come back to this side." Robert said. Victor stopped trying to escape my grasp but instead of stepping away from me he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I honestly thought he would walk away from me and accept Robert's offer.
"I was wrong Robert." Victor said tears running down his face. It was because of Robert and Victor that I had my Dimitri back and if there was any chance of returning that favor it was now. I couldn't kill Robert, I knew what Victor was feeling looking at his brother who now didn't have a soul. The gut wrenching hurt that made you want to hurl and crumble to the ground. The heart ache that seemed to touch every corner of your heart making it burn with hurt.
Dimitri had put his hand out stopping my mother from advancing or taking any kind of defense against the strigoi. We started backing up the stairs never turning our backs on them. That's when I realized we would be taking my mother on the plane leaving no protection for Lissa and the others. "Mom you have to go, now." She stepped around me and took off running. Two strigoi tried to catch her but they couldn't come close to her speed. Robert took another step forward and I stopped dead in my tracks. I didn't want to hurt him but I didn't want him getting any closer. I was the last one standing just outside the door. Dimitri tried pulling me in but I just couldn't leave Robert like that. Victor was standing right behind me pleading with Robert to let us be.
I don't think Robert was in charge but I was sure he was up there in ranks. The strigoi to Roberts left looked between Victor and Robert and I could see the resemblance click in his head. I went to rush forward but Victor and Dimitri pulled me into the plane. I watched as the strigoi to Roberts left reached over and grabbed Roberts head, snapping it off and throwing it to the ground.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed. I still struggled in Dimitri's arm as I watched Victor fall to the ground on his knees crying. At that moment all I wanted to do was to rewind time, to take it all back, but I couldn't. But there was something I could do.
"Let me go Dimitri." I said coldly. I walked down the stairs and stopped only three feet in front of the strigoi that did the damage. There was about I would guess forty strigoi standing in front of me smiling, thinking I was a crazy lunatic for coming back. I could feel Dimitri coming towards me and said to him, "Stay right where you are. I got this." The evil pitch in my voice I didn't even recognize. I let every bad feeling I ever had creep in me letting it fuel my hatred. I wasn't even scared that it would disappear this time because I was the one calling for it.
"I've heard of you Rose. My name is Jason. Do you want to join us or die?" he asked. I had been looking at the ground but let my eyes make their way up to look Jason in the eyes. I don't know what he saw but his face expression changed into fear.
"I've already died once and my next time won't be because of you." That's when all hell broke loose. I don't know how many of them rushed forward and I really didn't care. I also wanted to fight them one on one and not use the power to take them all out at one time. I would kill them all for taking my chance away to pay Victor back. I would make them feel the pain I did when Dimitri was first taken, the pain I knew Victor was feeling now. As Jason rushed forward I dodged him wanting to leave him for last.
I flipped over him and punched the strigoi coming at me. The force of the blow to his face made his head fly ten feet behind him, leaving his body standing in front of me before it finally hit the ground. I did this a few more times liking the darkness and the power that flowed through me. Jason still came after me but I kept my distance from him. A strigoi I knew was once a guardian but I couldn't remember his name came at me. I fell to the ground landing on my hands and kicking with all my might at the strigoi's mid section, it shattered like glass on impact. I then flipped backwards taking two more strigoi's heads off in the process. I grabbed one around the neck using his body as a tool. I hurled him like a javelin striking down five more strigoi as the body went through their mid sections. I punched, kicked and smashed the strigoi that came at me with ease. The ones that started running for the woods were surprised when I flipped in the air landing in front of them stopping their escape. I hit the ground taking the ten out in one move. When I turned back around the only strigoi left was Jason. I smiled as I walked towards him. He thought he could out fun me and stopped trying when I cut him off every time. I grabbed him by the neck lifting him off the ground.
"Victor would you like to do the pleasure of killing the piece of shit who killed your brother?" I asked and I still couldn't recognize my own voice. Victor walked down the stairs and when he reached me he pulled the stake I had forgotten I had on me out of its holder on my side. I set the strigoi down holding his arms behind him.
"Thank you Rose." Victor said as he plunged the stake into the chest of the strigoi. I let him go and watched as he crumbled to the ground. But before I walked away something caught my eye, a letter sticking out from his outer pocket. I pulled it out and opened it.
Rose,
If you are reading this than you have killed the strigoi I sent for you. How does Victor feel about you now that you killed his brother? I will find a way to defeat you and when I do you will watch as all your loved ones are either changed or killed starting with Lissa. Happy trails, Danialla.
I was so mad all I wanted to do was hit something, someone, anyone. But as soon as I decided to hit the person closest to me is when two strong arms wrapped around me stopping me from hitting one of my own. Thanks to Dimitri I didn't hurt Victor. I didn't want to hurt him but the darkness let all those old feelings he had caused come forward and impair my judgment. The last thing I remember was looking into Dimitri's eyes when everything went black.
Dimitri's POV
The voice coming out of Roza's voice was nothing I had ever heard. I released her quickly knowing she wasn't in total control. Watching her fight was a rare treat. She didn't take the easy way and hit the ground, she took them on one by one. I stood there watching my love fight forty strigoi on her own without breaking so much as a sweat or a finger nail. But there at the ending when she read some letter I knew that look and it didn't matter if it was me or even Lissa standing in front of her she was about to hurt someone she cared about. Holding her felt odd, like she wasn't really there or like holding a corpse. I could feel her darkness and was worried when she collapsed in my arms that the darkness had finally won.
Lissa was attached to Janine's back when she approached us. She jumped down and put her hands on Roza. Roza's body glowed under her touch but what we all saw was the darkness swirling around like a snake trying to get the upper hand. Adrian ran down the stairs and also put his hands on Roza. Together they chased away the darkness for now. What concerned me was where it had gone. Roza's eyes fluttered open.
"Is Victor ok?" she asked in a whisper. "I'm ok Rose." Victor told her. I set her down on her feet but didn't let her go. She looked so upset and I knew she was worried that she had somehow hurt Victor's feeling by thinking of attacking him.
"Rose, it's ok. The darkness only brings up things that are unpleasant. And for a major portion of time I wasn't pleasant to you or Lissa." I mouthed thank you to Victor as we all walked up the stairs leaving Janine and Lissa behind.
I pulled Roza into the back room knowing there was only one way to return her to herself. I threw her on the bed and hovered over her. Her hands went up tearing my shirt off and throwing it to the ground. The dark look in her eyes made me know I was right, that this was right. I tore her clothes off with the same force and then kissed her hard on the mouth. Roza's hands grabbed my shoulders pulling herself up to me to bite and kiss my neck. When her hands tangled in my hair I myself could feel the darkness coming from her. She flipped me over and pulled my pants off kissing me from my toes to my groin.
Holyshit the feeling of her taking me into her mouth was unreal. She pumped up and down on me forcefully while her hand rubbed my shaft. Thankfully jets have a hum to them that never goes away and this room was almost sound proof because I groaned loudly when I felt I was going to explode. She pulled back and kissed up my chest sending chills through my body. I grabbed her arms and pulled her all the way and kissed her hard again. My tongue tangled with hers so naturally. I flipped her back over and kissed her neck and loved it when I heard her breathing hike with my tongue on her. I kissed down her collarbone and to her breasts. I grabbed one and put as much of it in my mouth as my tongue twirled around her nipple. She arched her back bringing her close to my erection.
I went to put a condom on but she wouldn't release me. "I want your skin." She breathed out on my neck. When I plunged into her the warm and tightness of her had me groaning.
"ебать меня!" she screamed. My language coming from her mouth was sticking and sweet. Not caring how she knew such words I did as she asked and slammed into her hard causing her to scream out.
"Я люблю трахать тебя, сложнее!" she screamed. When I obeyed she dug her nails into my back. Her breath and moans were coming faster so I moved faster feeling her tighten around me. She screamed out when she reached her orgasm causing the heat to bring me to mine. I pulled out a second before I exploded. Rubbing on the outside of her while I released all over her belly.
I collapsed by her side breathing heavy. "Where did you learn Russian?" I asked her.
"What are you talking about?" she said out of breath.
"You were speaking my language to me during that. Damn it was hot." She looked over at me and smiled.
"I had no clue I was speaking Russian to you. What did I say?" odd but sexy.
"First you said, ебать меня. Which means fuck me. And then you said, Я люблю трахать тебя, сложнее. That means I love fucking you, harder. You don't remember saying any of it?" I asked a little disappointed. I loved that she knew some words in my language and the words were sexy during sex.
"Um, I thought I said that in English. Cool." She said jumping up and pulling on my hand towards that bathroom. She smiled and nodded to her belly when I gave her a strange 'where are we going' look. She was pulling me to the shower. Shower sex is so much fun. The slippery skin the different positions and come on seeing water cascade over a body like Roza's was a major turn on. I let her pull me in and we picked up from the beginning.
Hope you enjoyed! Review please. I'll update again in a few days I think, it might be earlier. Can't seem to walk away right now!
