I heard something.

I looked over at Sonya and saw she was tilting her head to the side, her ear facing toward the mouth of the cave. She heard it too. Good thing I wasn't going insane. Yet.

"What is it?" I ask, just barely above a whisper.

"The others." She replied and sprinted toward the mouth of the cave.

Great.

I decided to follow her. And slowly made my way the the front of the cave.

Outside, the lead strigoi was talking with his "second in command." Two went off into the woods and one was sent to the other side of the cave.

"What's going on?" I ask, coming to stand next to Sonya.

"Guardians." She replies and chews at her bottom lip.

My heart raced. Who could possibly be coming? No one knew about the cabin except Lissa, but it was too soon to think anything happened to me. I had only been gone for a little over 10 hours.

"You need to eat." Sonya said.

"Excuse me?" I asked stunned.

"You will need your strength to fight if it comes to it."

"I will not fight my friends!" I exclaim and look at her with disbelief. "I thought you were against all this!"

"I am." She said simply, " but when the time comes I won't be able to help my instincts to kill, and neither will you."

I shook my head. "No."

"Would you rather them take your life?"

"I can't do this." I gasp and turn away from her.

"You say that now, but when the first blood is shed your instincts will take over and be just like the rest of us."

She leads me back into the cave to where the blood whores are. I look at her uncertain, but she nods at me to continue.

I kneel down to drink.

"In an hour it will be sunrise." I say and look at the guardians the volunteered to come. 10 of them. Against a whole pack.

We have no chance.

"We go in 20 minutes to sunrise and lead them out. Hopefully we can distract some of them long enough until sunrise, so we can rid as many as we can."

Everyone nods, and I continue.

"Hopefully we can find Rose and lissa before anything bad happens. If not, we either capture the alpha or his mate. And ask for a trade."

"And if that goes wrong?" On of them asks.

"We fight. If you see Rose or Sonya shout out their location and if..." I didn't want to say it, "if, Sonya or rose is about to kill you. Kill them first."

"It won't come to that."

I look over at my friend and smile thankfully. "Until then we wait."

And we do. We wait for 30 minutes. I'm dreading the last ten minutes. I couldn't wait to get to Roza. Tell her everything. When she saw me and Tasha embrace I saw the anger in her. When I begged her to stay and let me explain I knew something was off. I shouldn't have trusted her. I shouldn't have trusted in MY ability to convince her to stay. Rose wasn't like other girls. And I knew that.

I curled my fist into a ball. I shouldn't have left the damn car. I should have told her I'll shop on the way. I should have told her my feelings.

"It's time." Someone says.

I look at every face around me.

"Let's go." I say.

Let's go get the girl I love.

"EVERYONE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAVE!"

I look up from the woman's arm I'm about to bite into.

Sonya looks at me and grabs my arm pulling me to the front.

"What's happening!" I ask over the rush of strigoi.

"Guardians are here." She replies.

I'm glad I didn't drink.

We reach the front of the cave and there before us are 10 guardians. 10 against 20 of us.

I search to see if I know any of them but strigoi are rushing in front of me and I can't get a good look.

I see, however, that Sonya is as still as a statue and looking at a guardian straight in the eye.

"Over here!" He yells. But before he could step forward, we rushed at them. Me, caught in the middle.

"Who was that?" I ask Sonya.

"Mikhail"

Before I could reply I smell something. I look to see what it is and spot a guardian. Bleeding.

My eyes focus on the cut and before I know it, I'm sprinting toward him.

"Rose!" Sonya shouts after me.

I'm in front of the man. Too blood thirsty to see him straight.

"It's her!" He yells out to someone behind me.

All I can see is his blood. I don't even see that there's someone behind me until I turn to face him.

I look into his eyes and before I can recognize who it is, something is pushed into my sternum. I look down and there, lodged into my chest is a stake. Before I could look into the guardians eyes again, everything went black.

Sorry if being a strigoi isn't like the book. Who's ready for the next chapter?! I have it written. Waiting for reviews. Btw. This is off my phone. So sorry if I don't add comas or stuff. LOVE YALL.
