Chapter 4:

We all tensed up but Dimitri and Guardian Swayze reacted quickly with Dimitri standing in front of me and Guardian Swayze in front of Dean.

Well, that goes to show this obviously wasn't part of the test since I don't think these fake practise stakes would do any good.

From the distance there red eyes gleamed in the dark but they didn't stay in the distance too long as all of them at an amazing speed charged over here.

Dimitri took a few steps forward pulling out a real stake he has with him as Guardian Swayze did the same. They were fighting two each which didn't look too easy.

I felt slightly stupid having to just stand and watch but what else could I really do? I had no stake (besides the practise one) and I had already learnt once that if you didn't have a stake...you were screwed. Ok maybe not in those exact words but still...

Watching Dimitri fight was amazing, he moved with such power and grace, he was strong and he was fast.

Dimitri had already stakes the two Strigoi after a few minutes so he went to help Guardian Swayze but not before sneaking a glance in my direction.

Guardian Swayze had already killed one of the Strigoi she was fighting so it was easy for Dimitri to kill the other one.

"We need to tell the others." Guardian Swayze said to Dimitri, it was clear that she was no longer playing the role of 'Moroi' anymore she was in full guardian mode now.

Dimitri nodded. "We'll have to ask Petrov, we probably will have to cancel the trial in case there are anymore."

Swayze agreed and suggested that she take Dean with her while Dimitri took me in case of any more danger.

Looking at Dean right now, I could tell he was scared, it would have been the first time he had seen a Strigoi. Me on the other hand, I've already had way too much experience with Strigoi. I even killed two a few months ago. But that's all just a bad reminder of when I lost Mason.

We had to part ways with them to search for the other guardians. I couldn't help the pleasure that spread over me with such a small thing that I got to be with Dimitri.

"Stay close." Dimitri told me as we were walking the dark streets.

"So are we going to have to go straight back?" I asked, meaning the academy.

"I don't know, we might."

I didn't ask anything else since I could see Dimitri was trying to pay attention to his surroundings. I wanted to go back, if there were more Strigoi then a lot of us were in danger. But of course there was always this possibility if we did a trial test here, since we weren't in safety of any wards. It would have been very unlikely and unlucky for this to happen but that's why they have brought so many guardians.

We were heading around one of the buildings but stopped dead in our tracks.

Dimitri went fast into action lunging forward before the blond haired Strigoi could.

The Strigoi staggered back from the impact but quickly began fighting.

I watched as they fought, again feeling really useless. But I turned my attention away from them as I heard movement from behind me.

Spinning around I was faced with two Strigoi.

Oh Shit.

They wasted no time with running up to attack. One was female and the other male.

The female through me against the brick building which luckily I hit my back against instead of my head, but man did it still hurt.

I tried to recover since I knew I would have to fight even though I had no stake. I threw a hard punch to the female. She staggered but came back. The fight between us was hard since I couldn't really do much harm to her without a stake.

Also it was two against one, I managed to get a very good blow to the male and he cringed in pain and his fighting was starting to slow a little.

I was aware of Dimitri fighting three Strigoi beside me; yes three since another two had come. So there was no chance of him helping me.

So I was fighting two while Dimitri was fighting three. Five Strigoi.

This female was strong and in our fight was now winning. I tried to have a quick look around the area for any object that could do some damage, but came up empty. We were in a street after all.

At the corner of eye saw Dimitri fall to the ground from his attackers. I felt fear flow through my body. We were outnumbered.

He managed to get back up and even staked one he continued fighting but that small distraction payed its price on me as the female and male pushed me hard against the wall.

This time, I did hit my head.

I slid down to ground as a huge amount of pain overtook me.

It reminded me of the time Natalie had pushed me into the wall, but this time it was harder and I was hardly conscious. I could taste the blood in my throat and I knew the back of my head would be bleeding a lot to.

I already could expect what would happen next, I waited for one of them to go for my neck.

But they didn't.

Through blurred vision I looked up to see Dimitri was fighting off the two that I had been.

The way he was fighting was a bit different then I had usually seen him fight many times before. The anger that he was fighting with right now is what had changed.

I turned my head a bit to see he had already killed the three other Strigoi.

The pain in my head was definitely not going to go away, and darkness was starting to overtake me.
