This is my first ever story so I apologise if it not the best I am trying my best. I am also not the best with spelling so please forgive me. If I am to write another story after this one I'd probably get a beta to help me.
Skylars POV-
Amelia, Oscar and I are waiting outside a luxury hotel waiting for Declan to come back outside. He is sorting out a room for us to stay in for a week. I can't believe Declan has agreed for us to stay here, I know it's only for a week but I can't believe it, it's like my dream come true, I've always wanted to travel the world. This is going to be amazing. I don't know what Declan has up his sleeve but I don't think we are going to be bored during this trip.
"Right I've booked us in, we are sharing as it's safer but it will be big enough, come on let's get up to our room." Declan sounded excited as if he can't wait to show us our room.
We are on the 8th floor, when Declan opened the door he let everyone in before himself. Once I walked into the room I couldn't believe what I saw. The first room we walked into was the living room, the carpet was so soft and fluffy, white, so I felt the need to get my shoes off straight away and so did the other three, it felt like walking on a cloud. The sofa was big and white and looked extremely comfortable, pointing towards a light grey tv stand with a 50' tv on top. To the corner, I could see a maple wooden bookshelf with a few books on it. In the other corner, there is a matching maple wooden table and four chairs set and the walls where a clean crisp white. There is an attached kitchen, the flooring changes to grey stone, the walls are the same crisp white. The cupboards and tabletops are glossy white with two light grey ovens, a light grey microwave and light grey kettle, the fridge/freezer is a silvery light grey with an ice dispenser. Two rooms go off on the opposite side of the room to the kitchen and there is a massive ceiling to floor window opposite the door to the room. There are two bedrooms, Amelia and I would be sharing and so will Declan and Oscar. In our room there's a maple four-poster kingsized bed with white bedding, a softer white colour for the walls, with soft white carpet there is a desk facing the ceiling to floor window and a tv in the corner. Two rooms are going off, one is a walk-in wardrobe and the other is a huge bathroom that has a darker grey shower, sink, toilet and bathtub that can be used as a jacuzzi with white walls and glossy white flooring. There is another door inside, which leads to the boy's bedroom. The boy's room is exactly the same as ours.
"Hey, the rooms are connected." Oscar seemed happy about that.
"Yeah one bathroom, fantastic," I replied sarcastically, it doesn't matter if it's only got one bathroom, in all honesty, its much more then I ever expected it would be, it's so big and luxurious, it is definitely not what I was expecting but it's Declan's decision, we must not be staying in Brazil, this is going to get attention sooner or later even if we've already moved on at that point. It would be too obvious if we stayed in Brazil after this week. However, I'd still prefer not to share a bathroom with the guys if I can help it.
"I'll order some takeaway for dinner why don't we unpack whilst we're waiting," Declan suggested. After he made a phone call he called me over.
"Skylar, someone needs to go pick it up," before he could say anything else I stepped in. "I'll go pick it up, where is it?"
Twenty minutes later we had all unpacked apart from the essentials if we had to leave quickly. I changed into my yellow and white lined summer dress with a black belt across the middle, with my black hilled, ankle length boots and a black jacket. I had platted my hair on the boat and let the plate out, leaving my brown beach waves to flow all the way down my back. Then I left with the money go to get our food.
I managed to find my way to the restaurant easily enough, it was only a five-minute walk away. After I arrived I sat down to wait for twenty minutes before they called "Ethan's." That is the name Declan put the food under, Ethan was our first friend at the academy so it's a good codeword for us. They just added the S on the end. I got the money out and paid and left the restaurant. The second I stepped out I realised it got dark, that was fast and everything looked different. Great I don't know where I'm meant to go and it's dark in a city where Strigoi could be around any corner. I start thinking back to my journey here. I think I came from the left, so I starting heading in that direction. I've never seen an actual Strigoi and I don't have my stake on me, I kicked myself internally for being an idiot and leaving my stake at the room, what an idiot. After ten minutes I realised I was going in the wrong direction. So I turned around to head back.
"Are you lost little lioness?" A male husky voice laughed out. It sent a shiver right through me and made me stop in my tracks.
"Who are you?" I asked turning but I couldn't see him, he was in the shadows, I wanted to run but there was something about him that made me unable to.
"Me? It doesn't matter who I am, who are you? little lioness" his voice was scary, so why are my knees wobbling and not with fear. With attraction? No, I don't even know what he looks like, I can't be attracted to someone's voice.
"Yeah, whatever bye." I managed to turn and start walking away. This guy is weird and I didn't want anything to do with him.
"You're going the wrong way." He replied sounding quite pleased with himself.
"You don't even know where I'm going," I replied angrily.
"Yeah, I do. You're a tourist you've got to be staying in one of the tourist hotels, you are going in the wrong way." He said matter of factly, that's when I noticed he didn't have a Brazilian accent, he spoke like he was English just like me.
"Where are you from?" I asked. I was getting curious now, I still haven't seen him and I'm still unsure where he was standing but I wanted to know more about him.
"If I tell you where I'm from will you let me walk you back to your hotel, I'm sure, your family is wondering where you are and you don't want your food getting cold, now do you, little lioness?" He spoke in such a way as if he knew the answer would be yes.
"How do you know I am away with family? Why do you keep calling me little lioness? Where are you? Why can't I see you?" I asked. He just chuckled at me.
"Hmm, you seem very curious to get to know me. I know your away with family because friends wouldn't let friends be alone at night in a city like this, family believe your strong enough and mature enough to be left alone, friends don't want you to be alone, and you act like a lioness, strong, proud, beautiful and fiercely protective." He replied seductively. Every single one of his words made my heart beat faster.
"Fine, you can walk me back to my hotel." I agreed. He is strange but there's something about him that I like and I don't know where I am, let alone how to get back. He then walked out of the shadows and into the light so I could see him, he has slightly tanned skin with brown messy hair, he was topless so you could see his not big but still impressive pecks, he had strong arms and a six-pack, when I looked into his eyes, his blue eyes I lost myself in them. He is so beautiful, he looks the same age as me and he is human, so I had to wonder what he is doing alone at night out here? Also how was someone my age and human so muscular?
"You enjoying the view. I know I am." His husky voice said, this time it was like it was filled with lust. He stepped closer to me and I could feel my heartbeat rise. He looked like and sounded like a god. I bit my lip and he growled a little, now we were standing so close to each other I could feel his breath on my face, he was taller than me by maybe two or three inches.
"So where are you from?" I asked trying to keep my mind pure.
"England." He replied with only one word. That word said so much more. Like he did not want to talk about where he was from because there was something else he much prefers to do. At that, I realised he had a British accent and wow was it hot.
"Right come on, you said you'd walk me to my hotel," I said stepping away.
"Right, right this way my lady." He said with a little sarcasm.
We ended up walking for fifteen minutes in silence, I could see him studying me. Once we arrived at the hotel he turned to me and we stopped outside the front.
"So this might be the last time I ever see you." He said sounding silently sad.
"Well if that's the case, can't I know your name?" I asked.
"There's something else I want to do." He said seductively and walked closer to me and started leaning towards me. He wanted to kiss me, and god how I wanted to kiss him. He stopped and I knew he was giving me space to reject him if I wanted to, but I didn't, instead, I closed the distance between us and kissed him. At first, it was very soft, gentle and slow but it quickly became more. It became hot, heavy and passionate like we could never get enough of each other, fireworks were going off in my head, this is the best kiss I have ever had. Sooner then I liked he pulled away, the lust in his eyes made me want to pull him close and never let go. I knew he could see the lust in my eyes, especially when I noticed his jeans had a lump, as he licked his lips I felt my knees go weak. I bit my lip in return and he growled again.
"God, I want to bite that lip." His husky voice growled.
"Why don't you then," I suggested seductively. I could see the lust in his eyes grow and then he looked behind me and his face went blank. I turned to see what he was looking at but I couldn't see anything.
"My name is Thomas Young if you ever end up in England look me up." He said kissing my forehead and leaving. When he was gone it was like he took all the warmth with him. Wow, what the hell just happened to me. I have never felt that way towards anyone before not even a little bit.
I walked into the hotel and up to our room as soon as I got up there I took my shoes off, gave the food to Declan and sat on the sofa.
"We were starting to get worried, what took you so long?" Declan asked with a worried voice whilst he went to get plates, knives and forks.
"I got lost, don't worry about me I'm fine." I hoped I sounded relaxed and calm, I'm guessing I did because no one questioned me.
I didn't see him again after that. We spent the rest of the week doing all sorts of fun activities. We rode up to the top of the sugarloaf mountain, climbed up Corcovado and Escadaria, hiked through Tijuea national park and swam at Arpoadqr. I and Amelia went shopping at Leblon and Rio Sul we even had a spa day, Amelia and I got full-body massages, manicures and pedicures. It was the best week of my life. Of course, we took care of any and all cameras so no one could pick us up and made sure no one noticed, at least we hoped no one would notice. The idea then was to get a plane to Turkey.
We got to the airport wearing sunglasses and hats, we took care of the cameras, suddenly they aren't going to work for the next few hours, nothing they can do to fix it, then once we are safe they will suddenly just start working again. I am wearing black jeans with a white blouse, a black jacket and black high heeled, ankle boots. Oscar did the hacking, surprisingly he is really good at hacking, apparently he used to hack students laptops and find out secret information. I wasn't sure if I liked that or not but it will be very helpful as time goes on. We used compulsion so we could get through security without using passports. We had an hour before our plane would take off so we were sat in the waiting area. We switched our backpacks to much bigger ones, ones we could get away with using as our carry on luggage we also brought some of those vacuum bag things so we could fit everything inside our backpacks. It was over the carry on luggage allowance but we used compulsion again so they would allow it. It might have been heavy to humans but to us, we hardly felt it.
"I need to use the bathroom," Amelia told us as she stood up.
"Want me to come with you?" I asked.
"No, I'll be alright thank you," Amelia replied.
"Okay, we will be over at McDonald's, to get some food," Declan replied.
"Okay, can you get me a Big Mac? If they have it," Amelia asked and she walked off to the toilets. Oscar and I joined Declan in the line at McDonald's. The queue was huge, maybe we should have gotten food from somewhere else, a couple of minutes later we were still queuing as Amelia ran over to us.
"Guardians, guardians are here." Amelia sounded like she ran over here.
"Shit! Okay, no food." Declan turned and looked up at the flight schedule, Oscar was going through his bag looking for something. "The next plane to take off is going to Austria, Vienna. It leaves in twenty minutes at station 5. The other side of the airport. We must not get caught." Declan said this all in one breath. Then the guardians came around the corner and saw us straight away. They started running towards us.
"Here, lose them then put these on." Oscar handed us all necklaces.
The guardians were close to us now. I could see there was at least twenty of them if not more, I cloud recognise a few of them. Guardian Jones, Blake, Moore, Miller and Lee. I also saw uncle Eddie and uncle Leo. I was not expecting to see them. We all ran off in different directions. That's when I noticed there were more guardians. I saw my mum and dad. Dimitri and Rose. Now this a shit situation.
Dimitri ran towards me, Rose went for Amelia, Lee went for Oscar and Eddie's went for Declan. I knew about the nickname he was given when he worked at the school. He was called the 'God' I knew how both he and Rose escaped guardians better then we have so far. So he's most likely the worse. But I'm his daughter and the eldest, of course, he'd come after me. We also had five other guardians each after us, I had guardian Blake after me. I don't know where the other four guardians I know went and I don't know who the other four following me were. It didn't matter. I ran and I gave it my all. I couldn't keep it up for long but I had twenty minutes to lose them and that is what I'm going to do. I ran faster then I ever had before. I knew there was a toilet that had a double exit. One on my side and the other is around the corner. It's a shortcut, I hoped they wouldn't follow me into the bathroom. So I ran through the bathroom, of course, they followed, however, Dimitri did hesitate for just a second and that gave me a further lead that I needed. People were everywhere. I kept running, I noticed in the corner of my eye the escalators going to the second floor so I quickly changed my running direction.
"Get out the way!" I shouted at the people on the escalators and ran up them. That's when I noticed the guardians started shooting, surely they wouldn't kill me, I haven't done anything worthy of death. Have I? No of course not, they must be shunning darts then. None of them hit me but that made the four I guardians I didn't know stay at the bottom. Running fast enough I had lost four of them, now there's only Guardian Blake and Dimitri following me. I looked at the clock as I passed it, I still had fifteen minutes. Wow, so I had lost four in only five minutes. I didn't stop. My dad is fast. Extremely fast but I'm faster.
"Skylar stop!" Dimitri shouted.
"Please" he was begging. I knew at that moment he isn't likely to catch up. I thanked God for that. I kept on, as fast as I could, dodging people as much as I could, when I couldn't dodge I just pushed them out the way. I felt bad for pushing them but it's something I have to do, I'll feel bad later. All that matter right now is getting away. Losing them as fast as I can. I looked behind to see that guardian Blake is nowhere to be seen, I could see Dimitri getting tired. He was giving it everything he had, this is probably the first time he ever had to. I couldn't help myself from getting happy. He's known as one of the best guardians that ever existed and there's a possibility I might be better than him. I kept running and running. I had ten minutes until the plane will take off. I was on the wrong floor and on the opposite side of the airport. So I turned as sharply as possible and run back towards the escalators.
I could see he was really struggling to catch up now but he wasn't giving up. Once I got to the escalators I didn't run down them. No, I slide down them, I know I'm running but might as well have some fun. It didn't take long for him to join me in sliding down the arms of the escalators. When I got to the bottom I saw nine guardians running towards me. I ran. Fast. They couldn't keep up, Dimitri did though. I kept running I saw a clock, I had five minutes. I wasn't too far but I need to lose him before I put the necklace on. I ran around the corner to an area where there were no people and I stopped.
He stopped as well and gave me a suspicious look. I just gave him an evil grin and ran at him. He knew instantly what I was doing and got himself into a fighting stance, once I got close enough I lifted my leg and jumped ready to kick him in the head, I had to jump higher than usual because Dimitri is much taller than I am used to. He realised what I was doing to do, he grabbed my foot before I made contact and threw me away, which made me fall to the ground. I got up less than a second later, crouched and kicked my leg out, he dodged it again but I was quick, I jumped up and threw my fist towards his head. He didn't expect that and I made contact. He looked proud that I managed to hit him. Well let's get that proudness off of him, he should be worried not proud. So I said so.
"You know I am planning on getting away, right?"
"I know, you might be able to beat me." He replied kinda breathless. He went for a punch then and I dodged it and kicked his legs out from under him and he fell, in a slight second later he was back up again.
"Why aren't you worried about us getting away." I went to punch his face and he dodged it, he went to kick me but I managed to dodge him.
"You might get away this time, but I can promise you one thing, we will find you and you will be coming home, everyone is looking for you, especially when it gets out who you guys are. The whole world is going to be looking for you, I'm proud that you will be able to look after yourselves. But we will find you and bring you home one day." His speech kept getting split up as we sent hits at each other.
I went to kick his knees again whilst punching his face at the same time knocking him down to the floor. I jumped on him in a second. Before I could put all my weight on him to keep him down he had me pinned beneath him. Shit. I tried to get my hand free so I could punch him but his grip was strong.
"Give up, I really don't want to have to knock you out." He threatened. I just grinned at him.
"Hey, you know you want to let me go." I tried to use compulsion on him, but he refused to look me in the eyes. "Don't try and use compulsion on me." He seemed angry now, "just give up!"
"Never!" Then I used my entire body weight to jump up, I flew to my feet, he flew off of me to the side and as fast as I could I turned and jumped back on him, using my full body weight on top of him. He looked shocked.
"How" was all he managed to say. I'm guessing nobody has ever done that to him. "I'm not entirely sure and I'm sorry" then punched him again and again until he passed out. God, he did not look good. I looked around and we were alone, I put my necklace on. I looked at the clock, I had one minute until the gates shut. I ran as fast as I could. I turned the corner and that's when I saw guardians at the gate shit. I stopped and walked as calmly as I could pass them, one stopped me and stared at me, shit please don't look me in the eyes, I refused to look anywhere but at the floor, then he shrugged. I tried my best to leave the relief off my face. I walked straight through to the plane and thanked god when I saw, Amelia, Oscar and Declan already sat down. They all looked relieved as well. Somehow they managed to find four seats right next to each other. I have a feeling they used compulsion. Only we could see who each other is. I went over and sat next to them.
"Amelia, how did you do with mum?"
"It wasn't easy but I managed to run and get through the air vents before any of them realised and I managed to climb through until I got to here, put my necklace on and just pass straight through," Amelia explained tiredly. That's when I noticed she looked dusty and dirty but she was untouched.
"What the hell happened to you!" Declan asked.
"Dimitri." That was all I had to say and they all looked horrified.
"How did you get away?" Oscar asked.
"I kept running and running but when I realised that I wasn't going to lose him that way I got him separated from the others and fought him. It was not an easy fight but he's now knocked out. He's in worse shape then I am. But how did you two do against Eddie and Leo?" I asked
"Wow that's amazing, I used magic to make them lose their sight and put my necklace on and ran off. I looked completely different and was a long way away before they got their sight back and they didn't look twice at me, they looked confused. It was actually kinda funny." He looked untouched as well but unlike Amelia, he looked clean.
"I lost three of them completely. I separated Eddie from guardian Jones and Miller. I managed to fight Eddie and knock him out, then I had both Jones and Miller fighting me, well I won. Going to have a few bruises but I will be fine." Declan said, he looked quite rough, of course to everyone apart from us four we all looked fine.
"Is that a guardian?" Amelia asked horrified.
"Shit!" Declan exclaimed. Then the plane started taking off.
So Skylar managed to knock Dimitri out. Did anyone see that coming? Maybe everyone is right and they actually do have part Strigoi in them? What did Thomas see? Are we going to see him again? I hope everyone enjoyed this. I tried really hard with this one. I wanted to make up for the last two chapters. Thank you for reading. I try to upload as much as possible and hearing that people like what I write it very helpful it makes me motivated to write. So thank you again Ellse.
