Chapter 35: Faithful to my Soul

Well people wouldn't expect this to ever happen in there lifetime

I didn't think it would happen in mine

But then again life's been throwing things I've never expected

One of them is up front growling at me in front of the entire court

And most people seeing the shock in there faces thought I was dead

I thought that, I wasn't though

Now in a big crowd like the one we were in right now you wouldn't hear my thoughts or know what the hell is going on

So let me give you a little recap

Cuz no brain could get this, mine was forced too

My name is Rosemarie, Rose for Short Hathaway

I don't have a family let's put that simple

Or I didn't in the final year of my life things really changed

I had a family well more like a close group of friends

I used to have only one Lissa Dragomir, she brought me back from the dead

To continue living this messed up life I got now

But I'm not ashamed I'm more then happy I'm alive

Because thanks to that I met the love of my life

He's a guardian and a damn sexy Russian

Does the Name Dimitri Belikov sound familiar

Should most of the news is about him

But anyway back to reality

If you can call it that

I'm facing my sister

Her name is Rosieanne Hathaway; don't laugh at the similarities of our name

Not that I don't like her I just met her and well our reunion wasn't nice

She's all twisted thanks to this legend

That's says two of the same blood must fight each other

For the control of either the cursed (strigoi/undead ****) or

Shadows (everything living or dead)

I'm the one for the shadows

Fighting her in the most populated place to be for a moroi

Since they were the weakest to fight (don't wanna use there magic)

Anyway now I wonder why people are looking at me like a complete ghost

I wasn't right

I now stand between my lover and best friend

For a battle I lost but was given a second change

I really got to stop talking in my head and telling my life like I story

I might lose it

Still my life would make a killer bestseller

I'll think about hat later

Back to life

"Rosie just face it you can't get rid of me." I flashed my devil smile at her

And I could see her temper rising

"Enough of your jokes rose but if you really want to fight me lets play it my way!" she said and disappeared into the woods

Letting Ambrose take the position of leadership

"Looks like if you speak of a rose with thorns you get the beauty of Rose Hathaway."

"Enough worshipping Ambrose why don't you admit you killed Tatiana!" I said

"And ruin the best part." That was enough, he really wasn't smart

"That's all I needed." I whispered

The crowd had gotten the message

"Now let the battle begin!" he called out

"Wait! Shouldn't we know how to kill you guys?" I said smiling the devil again

"You didn't…"

"OPPS" I said out loud

I turned around to face the crowd but still kept a close eye on them

"The only way to kill these bastards is the way we've been taught silver stakes and cutting there heads off and fire magic"

They didn't look to shock I really needed to get this over with

"Only they'll be able to enter churches, use magic and go out into the sunlight."

Some gasped and others muttered how

I didn't want to get into detail

They might hate me later or think I'm soft

That's not a reputation I wanted

If I was going to save them

"Attack kill anyone on your path!" Ambrose yelled

The crowd erupted in screams

And fear

But guardians got organized lissa backed up into the protection of Christian and the guardians

I looked around me

There were to many lives that would be lost

I looked closer to see my mom coming by lissa's side and so was Mikahal

There image was all I saw before

I went into battle

Only three people followed my direction

I closed my eyes running faster

Hoping either they give up or run faster

Dimitri, Mom, and Mikhail

If I die it will be with them

I could hear in the background the fighting going on

I could also feel the magic going around from both sides

Which meant moroi finally decided to fight with us

I hope many don't die

"Push it out rose!"

A voice screamed inside me

It wasn't like compulsion that I had no will to follow it

But I decided for many lives not to be lost

I only had one person to kill

Then all the others could be safe or safer at least

I knew I was heading to the edge of the court

More strigoi would be lurking their

But i had a feeling Rosie would be too

I could her voice in the distance not calling me

But talking to others

"I thought you said she was dead."

"I didn't plan for her to come back alive either!'

"Well she is and she'll bring her damphir friends!"

"This should have ended at the church!"

"But it didn't I'm going to get this job done!"

"Tough words but you don't act"

"I will!"

"And yet you hide behind them." I said stepping out of the shadows

This probably wasn't the smartest thing to do

But I didn't care

"Ah rose so good for you to give me another chance to see the light in your eye's face away"

"Like I'll let you do that again and this time I got back up."

She laughed "yea guardians with weaknesses which is my advantage!"

"What do you mean?" I yelled but powerful nausea took over

"Get back" I yelled

"Oh my god…" mom muttered

"Unbelievable." Mikhail exclaimed

"No I can't." Dimitri gasped

For the first time coming back I actually felt fear I didn't think it would be this soon

I think I was holding back screams

They all couldn't be in one place with one goal

Kill there once loved ones

I really hate battles

So my friends

Standing right in front of us was each of our weaknesses what we thought we got over but we didn't and now it's come back to claim us

Or punish us I don't know all I can tell you from the looks in there eye's is that they wanted us dead

I blame blood lust

Mikhail was facing the only person that got to him and the only person he'll ever love

Sonya Karp

Mom, Janie was facing someone we both thought was long dead, guess not

I think it hurt her more than me because I didn't know her that much

Grandma to me her mother to Janie

Legendary Guardian Saorla Hathaway

She supposedly died in an attack 2 years before I was born guess she didn't

Dimitri's weakness I think was the trickiest of them all he didn't care for the person standing in front of him but he did cause dimitri great pain the most vulnerable I've seen him

His dad, Xavier Ivashkov

Well that explains why he hated Adrian sort of

He didn't like the Ivashkov family because it reminded him to much of his dad

Man if this was a book this little section would be a page turner or an

"OH MY GOD HOW COULD I BE SO STUPID MOMENT"

Anyway I still wanted my life to continue so I faced the strigoi demons and my sister

"Going to give up." She asked

"Never" I said 'there strong enough to with stand any amount of compulsion you though at them there faithful to life." I yelled

As I ran into a path that meant death

I just hope none of the one's I love die

Screams followed

And my mental voice yelled

"Watch in front of you.'

"Look back at your team"

"Be faithful to your soul."

I know someone fell

Janie POV (didn't expect this huh?)

I still couldn't decide whether I was happy to see my beloved mom

She didn't do what I did with rose

Drop her off at an academy at a young age no she raised me while I trained

She went through all the judgment and became a powerful influence

Raising rose would have been a lot better if she had showed me how

I didn't learn her lessons

I'm a terrible mother

But I'm glad rose still had people along the way that still cared for her

The princess, her high school friends, Ivashkov, her father, the close guardian friends she had

And of course belikov

I still couldn't wrap it around my around it but I knew they were in love

I'm just surprised it took me that long to realize it

I had a lot to learn about rose

One of them is how she came back from being killed by Rosie shouldn't the legend keep rose dead

Guess this was something in about 10 minutes I was now running through the forest with rose, guardian tanner and belikov my guess is she needed back up I just didn't expect me to be the one needing help

Mom, my brave legendary mother turned into those

A strigoi

The first time I actually think I felt hesitation she was glaring at me

I think I was shivering

"Now sweetie don't you want an embrace from your mother."

"Mom" I gasped

"You've fought hard my dear lets rest come." She said I never fought her

She was always right she should be now

My feet began to walk even if my mind didn't command it

"STOP!" another voice yelled

I stayed still but something told me to move to walk towards her

Those red eyes hiding the big brown ones

"Mom stop, you too Mikhail." It was rose

Compulsion at work I stepped back positioning me on my rightful place

With my daughter

But I still felt the need to go

Mikhail POV

Rosemarie's powerful voice kept me still

Making me unable to walk to my dear Sonya

After all this time after all the hunts

This is how I would meet her and kill her

I don't think I was ready

Breath Mikhail this is simple…

I have to kill her…

But I wouldn't…

She means too much….

I must capture her and turn her back….

It's now possible

I just have to fight this compulsion first

Rose POV

Still they fought Janie and Mikhail

They were strong

But I don't know how long they could hold

Still I was fighting my mental battle

I think Dimitri beat his dad cuz he was the only one I didn't feel was falling

Mom come one…..

Mikhail let her go

I mentally thought

"You can't save everyone."

"But I'll save them."

"Good luck."

More darkness came my way that same cloud of negative stuff that brought me down

But I fought and pushed forward

I let Janie and Mikhail fight their own battle

They were alone

It was down to Dimitri and me

He came up to my side

And embraced me "we'll get through this." He said

"Just don't let go." I smiled and we broke apart

I ran for Rosie Dimitri ran for his dad

Out of the screams and more strigoi coming with aiding guardians I could hear amazement

As my battle with Rosie continued

She hit my stomach but I quickly recovered and tried to shove her of her feet

It worked until on the ground she used her legs to pull me off

We were evenly matched

"Forget it already let me just kill you!" she screamed

"Never." I gasped and continued to get a good punch on her I got some but she also jabbed my on the arm and I think she broke a rib or two

Now I was losing "accept your faith already you're not meant to live!' she screamed

"Never" I muttered. As I fixed my weaknesses

I tried to get more spirit darkness to fuel me because my strength was failing but I wouldn't let her know that

Swiftly I jolted my stake down her arm

While her nails clawed my neck

I gasped for a minute blood running everywhere more mine then her's

If I didn't finish this I'd die of blood loss

"Looks like you're tempting them." She mocked

I still fought but let my eyes drift

Some strigoi had stopped fighting to watch our fight

But they were having a lust like glare

My blood, this was not good

I couldn't pay any more attention to it hoping the guardians would take care of it

A body flung in our direction but they were still alive

Another quickly went around us, this one was on his feet running to the thrown body

Dimitri and his dad

"Comrade help me here." I gasped

He stopped, rage filled his features he could do all the damage he wanted to his dad and no one would stop him

"Not yet" I pleaded as a jolt of pain reached into my chest

Crap! Distraction

Blood flowed out and satisfaction rang up in both Rosie's and the strigoi features

Not going to happen I got up and flung myself to her knocking her on the ground she dropped her stake so she couldn't do major damage to me but she was clawing my arm

"Just die damphir!" she screamed "your fate is unchangeable!"

"I know" I said raggedly "but I have the unbreakable passion to win."

Those were the words to freeze her

Bring tears to both our eyes

"You really are the strongest person I know sis.'

I showed a half smile "I know."

And got off her she was about to stand

When a pair of hands lifted her stake up and threw it to me

Dimitri, I caught it in time for seconds of realization knocked into her

Dimitri grabbed her and exposed her chest

I don't know were his dad went but I ran to Rosie

And this time the stake sank down to her chest

Dimitri loosened his grip when the stake made contact

My eyes couldn't focus on him as they only were to make certain Rosie's went blank

I stared longer as the stake feel out of its place and

Fell to the ground Rosie's body followed with blood pouring out of it

I was stunned had I actually done it?

"Thank you my sister and I'm sorry." Some voice said I looked closely examining Rosie's body

Her ghosts now standing over it

She smiled and it wasn't an evil one

It was full of joy

She came up to me

And embraced me I couldn't embrace her back to I just stood still

"I really love you sis." She said before she faded

Either to the tormenters valley or into me

I stood there frozen just looking down to her bloody or to the stake

Tears ran down my cheek and sadness ached my heart

"Rosie..." I stuttered with tears

And saw ghosts surrounding me with grateful expressions

And kneeling to Rosie's body and the stake

I turned around to face many shocked expressions

Guardians and moroi I tried to smile

But the ghosts spread out attacking strigoi

They weren't all dead

But they would be soon

A hand touched my wounded arm

"Are you alright to fight?' he asked

"Perfect besides who's going to watch your back." I joked

"You too" before he handed me another stake

And the fight blended around us

Run to the strigoi, stake them. Wait for another

Or

Distract one, capture them, and wait to restore them

It was only to missions

Now

I was finally done

I couldn't find Sonya, grandma, or Dimitri's dad

"There dead" my own head said

Fight and first lesson don't hesitate

Its changed now First lesson

Be faithful to my soul

And I stayed to fight quick touches from Dimitri but that was all the energy I'd need

Now the new words rang in my head

That chapter of my life is done

Don't let them get you, be faithful to my soul

Well Happy New Year
