CHAPTER 10

LPOV

I saw rose's eyes glow even redder and she stared directly at me. Or rather at my throat. I suddenly started feeling my energy returning, still not as much as to rise from the position I was currently in, but enough to know that something was terribly wrong with Rose.

"Rose? Rose can you hear me?" I said. She still stared straight at my throat, not moving, not even breathing.

"Rose, please, answer me." I could feel my strength building up, and I was able to lift my hand enough to try to shake Rose.

Then she attacked me and I screamed.

RPOV (I bet you guys were wondering what was going on in her head at the moment huh?)

As soon as I cut the flow of spirit I felt myself being pushed back in my mind. Like a force was dragging me to the bottom of my mind if that makes any sense. Honestly, I didn't know what made sense anymore. I tried to fight it at first, because I knew that if I lost control over myself I would kill Lissa. I could feel the hunger from the monster within me, that voice that kept asking me to feed it. To let it loose. I tried to control it, but ultimately, I lost. And even if I couldn't control my body I still saw trough my eyes as my body launched against Lissa, fangs ready to strike.

Dimitri's POV

I was walking down the hallways of Court when I almost bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry," – I told the young damphir. She was short, with a pixie hair cut that seemed familiar from somewhere.

"Don't worry, I…" the damphir said but as she met my eyes hers became wider and she ducked her head to avoid eye contact. Just then I noticed that Christian was behind the girl.

"Good day lord Ozera." I bowed my head in respect.

"Hey, Dimitri, I told you to call me Christian." He said with a small smirk. "we are headed to the dining room to get some dinner for Lissa and … uh, you didn't tell me your name." he said.

"Yeah, my name's Jane." She said still not looking at me.

"Do I know you from somewhere?" I asked, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had seeing her before.

"Uhh, no I don't think you do, I 'm from North Carolina, and I'm visiting my sister that's…."

"Wait," Christian said. "I thought you said that you were from South Carolina and your brother was…"

"You know what? I should probably find both of them, make sure your girlfriend feels better, bye." And with that she stumbled a bit backwards and turned to run down the hallway. And then it hit me, the way she moved, more graceful than a regular damphir, almost as… she was the female strigoi!

And Lissa's room was that way.

"Quick! We have to get to Lissa before her!" I yelled at Christian as I took off.

I don't know if Christian is behind me or not, but as I turn the hallways to Lissa's room all I can think is, how did a strigoi passed the wards? And even if they broke them, how did that girl appeared so….damphir?

But none of that mattered now, I had to protect my moroi, therefore my stake was out and ready.

Just then, I glimpsed the back of the head of the girl I was chasing just as I neared her she abruptly turned and opened the door of a room, no, Lissa's room. The door was left half opened. That is when I heard Lissa's scream. I was ready to stake a room full of strigoi if I had to in order to protect Lissa but I certainly wasn't ready to see…

Rose.

LPOV (AKA Lila's )

Damn it. I had screwed up. I forgot the story I had told Christian and now they were on to me. But I had to get to Rose first, warn her, and then we had to get out of here. Just as I opened the door of her room I saw Rose throw herself at Lissa, aiming at her throat as she screamed. Crap! That was not good. I charged at her, taking Rose down just inches before her teeth sunk into Lissa. It was quite a leapt if I say so myself. I could register Lissa's screams and Dimitri charging into the room ready to kill us. But I had bigger problems. Like keeping Rose from ripping our throats.

DPOV

The view I encounter was quite strange. Lissa was screaming at Rose to stop, Rose was with the girl on the floor fighting each other off. I would have thought it was a fight over who took Lissa first, because strigoi usually turned against each other all the time. But this looked more a if this girl was protecting Lissa, keeping Rose at bay, but Rose was stronger than her and was slowly loosing space and getting near Lissa. I decide to help her, because I knew that it would be really hard to fight Rose by myself. So between the two of us we finally managed to get a hold of Rose and contain her. But she kept struggling against us. Her chest was exposed and I knew I had my chance. So I aimed my stake and plunged it down.

So I hoped you enjoyed! Just to clarify, a turned strigoi is still stronger and faster than a regular whatever they used to be (either damphir moroi or human) okay so expect updates next Sunday!
