Chapter 3

DPOV

"What do you mean you are quiting?" – Alberta yells at me.

"I'm not quiting. I just need to do something." – Like look for and kill the love of my life.

"Look Belicov, I get it, you are looking for revenge for what happened to Rose. But we need you here." – I didn't acknowledge the fact of her knowing about me and Rose. I didn't really care how she knew. She just did.

"I'm sorry Alberta but this is something that I have to do." – With that I got out of her office and went straight to the north entrance. I would start by looking for something on the caves, maybe a trail.

The guard at the entrance gives me an astonish look but doesn't say anything. I'm about 100 meters from the school when I hear footsteps approaching. I turn to find Vasilissa trailing behind me.

"Guardian Belicov! Wait up!" – Lissa yells at me. She comes running at me and stops to catch her breath.

"Princess what are you doing here?"

"I heard that you were going and I'm going to help you" – she states simply.

"You should go back, you can't come with me."

"I wasn't asking you for permission I'm going whether you like it or not." – She snaps at me. I looked at her surprised for her little outburst. She is usually sweet and educated.

"Besides I can help you find Rose." – With that I'm frozen.

"But I thought that you bond was only one way…."

"It was, but I discovered that I can use the darkness to enhance its power and I know that with some practice I will be able to see and feel what he is feeling and seeing."

It was tempting to tell her that she could come. She can certainly help me but I if something happens to her Roza will never forgive me. I felt a stab of pain in my chest as I think about her. I can't face the fact that I will have to kill her.

"Please Dimitri, - her voice is soothing, almost hypnotizing. – you know I can help, just let me." – Yes she is right, she's…

"Hey, no compulsion!" – I said shaking her powers off. I am pretty resistant to that. – "ok, you can come with me, but you have to do exactly as I tell you. Now let's go."

"Yes, Guardian Belicov." – She said obediently.

"Call me Dimitri."

"If you call me Lissa"

"Deal. And how did you make the guard let you get out of the school?"

"I compel him to and then to forget he saw me." – She shrugs like it is not big deal, probably for her it isn't.

"Sure, you just compel some guardians, no big deal." – I tried to look at her with disapproval but I don't think I quite succeed. She smirks but her face soon turns serious as asks me. – "why are you looking for her Dimitri? For Rose, I mean I know that you were friends and she is your student but why?"

"She was more than that"

"What?"

"For me, she was way more than just my student, or my friend. I loved her, she was my soulmate, and I failed her I promised her that I would always be there for her and I didn't keep my promise." - I could tell Lissa was dumbstruck she didn't know what to say; instead she pats my back awkwardly and tells me.

"Don't worry; she is going to be fine. We will save her and then everything will be back to normal. You'll see." – I look at her in the eyes and know that she believes that.

"I really hope so. I really hope so." – I tell her as I turn around and start waking again.

RPOV

I wake to the sound of the door opening. I tried to get up from the bed I was lying in but l felt pain shooting through my body. I can Martin at the door, looking amused at my bloody body.

"So Rosie, have you thought about our deal?"

"Umm, sure, Lissa is probably at Germany. She loves the climate this time of year, you should probably start looking there" – near dead experience or not I was still Rose Hathaway and I love to annoy people, especially if that person is a blood sucking monster.

He didn't like that though, because he slapped me so hard that my vision became dizzy.

"I will ask you one more time, where is the princess?"

"Aren't you listening to me? Guess you are as numb as you look. I already told you were she is." – I specked him to slap me again for my comment but he didn't. Instead he did something much creepier, he smiled.

"You believe yourself to be a real comedian don't you? Well, guess what, I'll give you a last chance to make up for your mistake. You have 24 hours to give me the information I want, otherwise, I will make you tell me. I swear, I will awaken you and after you have helped me kill the last Dragomir I will kill you."

After that he was gone leaving me there. Okay, he had said that I had 24 hours to help him or he would awaken me. That meant I had a day to get the hell out of here.

It's a good thing I work well under pressure.

LPOV

Sweat was sliding trough my forehead. I have spent over two hours trying to get to Rose but so far it had been useless and I'm really tired. Sighing, I propped myself in the pillow of the hotel's bed we are currently staying at. Dimitri keeps pacing around the room; his normally composed face was now full of worry and frustration.

"Any luck?" – He asks me for about the hundred times in the last hour.

"Not yet, I don't get it. It should have worked. Rose once told me that it is like a tunnel. You are in one side and the person you tried to reach is in the other."

"Could you reach her if she is…a strigoi?" – I had to ask her.

"I don't know but I guess I could feel if she was. Like blackness or something on her side. I can see the tunnel but every time I try to reach onto the other side it's like the entrance is blocked and I can't break trough. Maybe if she gets a strong emotion I could get easier..."

"What stronger emotion do you want her to have if she is a house full of strigoi and might even be death in this moment!" – He finished that sentence practically yelling at me. I had never seen Dimitri lose control like this, and frankly it scared me a little.

"I have to get out of here."

What on earth? Where did that thought came from? It sounded almost like Rose's voice…

"I'm sorry… princess I didn't mean…" - Dimitri starts apologizing.

"Yell at me again."

"What?"

"My emotions go to Rose and I can use that to pass the block." – I tried to explain. I'm getting really excited.

"Okay, you have no idea what she is being through!

"More!"

"She has always been there for you, she would give everything even her life for you and most of the times you don't even tell her thank you, it is normal for all of you moroi that damphirs like her and me lay our lives for you but you don't even think twice about helping us!" – Wow, that hurt. I mean I know that sometimes damphirs aren't treated fairly but I never really thought about it. Did they really think that about us? Did Rose? Every word he said to me hurt like a slap on the face.

"I have only a day left to escape."

"It's working! Yell something else. But talk to her!" then he grabbed me and yelled directly at my face.

"Why were you so stupid? Why didn't you let them take me?" he started sobbing. But I barely heard him because I got pulled to Rose's head.

(STILL LPOV)

I was lying in a bed looking at the ceiling. As I look around I can see that there are no windows, only a locked door to my right. As I moved a bit pain shot trough every part of my body. But I wasn't me. I was Rose.

"it doesn't matter how I have to get out of here." Rose was thinking.

"Rose?" – I said hoping she could hear me.

Rose sit immediately on the bed and started looking around the room searching frantically for me.

"Lissa?" – She asked sure she had gone crazy.

I sighed in relief. "Yes, Rose I'm in your head. Dimitri and I are looking for you. Where are you?"

"I don't know. I don't know where I am. But Liss you can't help me. It's too dangerous."

"Rose I don't care what you tell me I'm going to rescue you you're my best friend you have always taken care of me now it's my turn. Besides, Dimitri won't stop looking for you until he finds you."

"Dimitri? How did you team up with..?

He told me about you two. And as shocked as I was I can't believe I didn't see it earlier. Now you need to tell us where you are, try to make your captors tell you. We'll come to you."

"That's the thing Liss they told me that I only have a day to give them what they want before they awak… before they kill me. – I frowned noticing her hesitation.

"It doesn't matter what they want Rose you have to give it to them. If anything so that you can make some time."

"I can't Lissa."

"Why not? What do they want?"

"They want you." – I gasped in shock. Me? Why did they want me? But of course, as the last Dragomir they would want to kill me. To send a message.

"Do it."

"What?"

"I said to do it. You have to give me up. You are my sister Rose. I can't lose you."

"It won't make any difference they'll kill me anyway. And truly sis, I'm not really in great shape to fight them off." – I can tell that much was truth. I can feel her pain and right know I can say for sure that she has at least some broken bones and a minor concussion along with some bruises and scratches.

"I have an idea. Why don't you tell them to go someplace and then me and Dimitri will go and take you out? Meanwhile I'll see if I can help you with your injuries." – I tell her as I make spirit flow through the bond and into Rose. Almost immediately she starts healing. I feel like I'm healing myself with feels really weird.

"Okay, that should do it. Now remember the plan. And don't worry, we will make it." - I'm really tired. I can feel myself being pulled by my own body.

"Okay, I'll try. Thanks for everything Lissa and please, tell Dimitri that I love him. And to stop punishing himself for what happened. It wasn't his fault." – then I' pushed out and the next instant I'm sitting on the bed of the hotel room with a nearly freak out Dimitri standing beside me.

"I made it." – I said triumphantly.

"And?" – So I told him our plan. And what Rose had told me to tell him. That got a small smile from him.

"Okay, let's do this." Dimitri said determinately.

RPOV

I was currently in a black VMW heading towards Spokane. Of all the places we were supposed to meet it had to be here. Martin had made me call Lissa and she had pretended not to know anything. I'd told her I had managed to break free and that I was hiding here and that I needed her to come get me.

I still couldn't believe the strigoi had bought it. We stop in an abandoned warehouse, and go in. I can feel Lissa; she is hiding in the back of the warehouse. Dimitri had gone to contact the Guardians and Lissa was supposed to get put to buy time if they took too much time to come. Almost half an hour had passed since we got here when Martin and the rest of the strigoi there start becoming nervous.

"She was supposed to be here 30 minutes ago! – One of the strigoi started complaining. I think his name was Jason or Lason or something like that.

"Yes I'm hungry!" – whined a female strigoi. She had a pixie hair cut and was very short. She looked really young too but her young features were outnumbered by the evil that seemed to surround her.

"Shut up. Everybody." – Martin said to the others. Then he turns to me. – "where is the princess?"

"And how am I supposed to know? It's not like I can msm her can I?" – That got me a blow to my head that made me fell to the ground. I could have fought back since Lissa had healed me but I didn't have a stake or a decapitation weapon so for now I have to look as if I'm injured. That wasn't too difficult since my clothes are so ragged. Dirty and bloody it's impossible to see if I'm still hurt or not.

"Rose you okay?" – Lissa's panicked voice sounds in my mind.

"Yes. Stay hidden. I'm okay."

"Hey, you still in there?" – Martin is inches away from me. I can smell his breath. I shudder. – "what…wait, I heard stories about the two of you. You have the bond don't you? She isn't coming you probably tipped her off."

"What? That's insane. Maybe she got the address wrong or something." – I try to talk myself out of it but I can see that he isn't buying it.

"You bitch, tell us where the Dragomir is! – Jason yells at me as he takes a step closer.

"Now, now, let's take this calmly."-Says martin – it doesn't really matter if you did that. She will come."

"You seem really certain about it."

"I am. Because unlike us, we know your weaknesses."

"And what would that be?"

"You care for each other" – he says and then grabs me by my hair and pulls me up making me gasp in pain. – "You will feel excruciating pain." – He said simply looking in my eyes. Then he sunk his teeth on my throat.

I know I know you probably wonder when does what the summary say happens but I wanted to make kind of like a back ground to the story so yeah. So, tell me what you think! If I get 4 more reviews I will update the next chapter first thing tomorrow I just have to finish writing it. What do you say?
