I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE ACADEMY OR ANY OF THE CHARACTER!
I hadn't updated for a while so I tried to write the last two and update closer to eachother. Sorry this chapter isn't that long, but I felt the chapter should end there
Chapter 11
It was like a gust of wind came and blew me in the face. I was shocked, speechless. I was definitely taken back by this.
"Turn me? You have got to be kidding right?" ok maybe attitude wasn't the best way to solve this. I would play the innocent, weak girl now, "but I will be weak. I will be a waste. You should just kill me now instead of wasting your time on me...if I...if I am as strong as you think I am, then I would have escaped by now..." I trailed off, hoping that I successfully played that part well. I personally think I did the best I could, given the circumstances and situation at that time. If this were in a different situation, and I wasn't tied up, I would have killed him by now and escaped. I don't care if we were isolated – I would run until I passed out.
But I couldn't think of 'what if's' and 'other possible solutions' right now. I had to focus on Jonathon and hoped that he bought my story, decides to run to Mikael and they just kill me. Jonathon stood there for a few short seconds after I finished my small excuse, a small smile playing on his lips. His smile then widened, baring his sharp teeth, and he gave out a loud chuckle, "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...how stupid do you think I am?" he rhetorically asked. He strolled towards me, "do you think that we actually would believe you are worthless? A waste?"
"But I am. I am so weak and helpless. Why don't you just go and find some other person to screw around with and turn them. Just kill me...please...just kill me now..." my eyes started to tear up but I immediately forced them back in, hoping that Jonathon didn't see them and a sign that he was successfully scaring me.
He stopped in front of me and bent down, putting his mouth centimetres away from my ear, I could feel his breath on my skin as the hair on the back of my neck stood up. He moved some strands of hair away from my face and tucked it behind my ear, "Don't worry. I will turn you myself. I will do it quickly. Unlike Mikael or Sophie who plan to do it nice...and slowly...and painfully." He kept his mouth close to my ear for a few more seconds, enabling the chilling last few words he said, sink in and scare me to my core.
I took in three quick breaths and tried so hard to hold the tears in. This was one of those moments when Rose Hathaway wasn't her usual self. Well to be honest, I haven't been myself for the past few days. I have been a mess. I really wish I had just stayed at the academy, forgotten about Dimitri and went on with my life. I would just go back to the way it was before Lissa and I left. We would party and get high and skip class. That was me. Or was it? Dimitri had made me better. He made me more responsible. Oh how I wish Dimitri was here right now. I would run up to him and kiss him. He would save me and we would run away, run away where we had no problems and everything was perfect. I just wanted him. I wanted him so bad that it hurt so much.
Jonathon was interrupted by footsteps at the door, he swiftly turned around and we were met by Mikael. Jonathon straightened up as Mikael said to him, "Will you know? Will you be the one to turn her?"
I could see nervousness cross Jonathon's face, "Oh, just scaring her. She knows now that we are going to turn her, and she was trying to talk me out of it – "
"I don't want to hear your stupid excuses Jonathon. Just get out now, and I don't want to see you talking to her again." Without another word, Jonathon walked out, quickly giving me an evil smile before heading out the door. Mikael stood at the door for a few moments, watching me closely, that it felt like he could read my mind or something. He then turned around and slammed the door shut. So hard that it sounded like it was going to break off. He was definitely pissed off.
That was the thing about Strigoi. You would never see them working with eachother because things like this would happen. They became greedy and wanted their prey to themselves, or in my case, their prisoner who they would soon turn. The only other time I had seen or heard about Strigoi working together was at the Badica massacre and with Isaiah, where Mason tragically died. Other than that, Strigoi packs were extremely rare.
What had felt like an hour later, I started to really feel myself building up my strength and focus again. I decided to try and escape once again. I tried rocking the chair forward and back, forward and back until finally it feel to the side and I let out a short scream of pain when my body hot the ground and my shoulder was the first to hit it, later squashed by everything else. I silently let out my pain and squeezed my eyes shut. When the pain had settled – not at all gone, but enough for me to keep on moving – I tried to push myself towards the shelf by pushing my legs against the cement ground.
I managed to push myself a metre or so before the door slammed open and in ran Sophie. She let our an annoyed sigh and came over to me, picking up me and the chair as if it weighed nothing, and put me back to where I stared out. I screamed and tried to kick and move around but it was no use. She slapped me across the face, "God you selfish little brat. Just stay the fuck there and stop trying to escape. You're not getting out."
"You're a fucking bitch! You're a monster! When I do escape I will kill you!" I screamed at her as she walked out and closed the door shut. When the door shut I let out a desperate sigh as tears feel down my face, and I sagged down against the chair, head facing the ceiling.
I breathed in and out and tried to relax, but the images of the biting, and the idea of me become one of them wouldn't escape my mind. I bit my lip to hold back myself from breaking down. I would just have to face the fact that I won't get out without becoming one of them.
"Rose?" I jerked my head up and looked around. "Rose? Can you hear me?"
I then realised that it was Lissa inside of my head. Finally. "Liss? Oh Lissa," I started to cry, so relieved that I could finally get help.
"Rose? Are you ok? Where are you? Adrian said he saw bite marks and that you were in trouble? Please tell me where you are..."
I was bursting out in tears and hyperventilating as I answered her, "I don't...I don't know where ... I am Liss. I was...kidnapped...by...Strigoi...and they have...been...drinking from me...and they said...they said...th...they...they were going to turn me...Oh Lissa...please...please...help me..."
"Don't worry Rose. I will get help ok? Where were you last? Just tell me that and I will try and find you Rose. I will get help and try to find you,"
"I was at a 24-hour diner outside of the Academy. I caught a bus there..."
"Is that all you can remember Rose?"
"Y..ye..yes...yes" I said during breaths
"It's ok Rose, Just calm down I will find someone to help – "
Lissa stopped talking when the door burst open and in came Mikael with Jonathon. He pushed Jonathon against the wall and held him by the neck. "Was Jonathon going to let you escape?" I sat there speechless. He wasn't going to help me escape. He wanted to turn me. Mikael repeated the question but this time he yelled, "Was Jonathon, going to help you escape!"
I knew he wasn't, I was about to answer no when Lissa said, "Tell him yes Rose. Tell him yes"
"Yes. Yes he was going to help me," I felt myself continue to talk, "he said he would try to kill you then help me"
Mikael looked at me in suspicion and then turned to Jonathon. It pulled him by the neck and pushed him to the floor in front of me so that Jonathon was facing me. But he turned to Mikael and held his hands up in surrender, "What! I swear I didn't." Jonathon tried to say, he turned to me, "I am going to kill you, you hear me? I swear you will beg me to stop when I get – "He was cut off unexpectedly and he took a quick gasp of air and his eyes widened – red eyes darting into me. I saw his lips part as his head fell of his neck and roll onto the floor. I screamed and I head Lissa scream as well. I had been so caught up in what Jonathon had been threatening me with, that I didn't see Mikael pick up a sword and chop Jonathon's head off.
I sat there wide eyed and gasping for air. I was completely and utterly shocked. I didn't know what to do or what to say. "This is what happens when you mess with me," Mikael dropped the sword to the side and walked out, leaving me there with a dead body, a chopped up dead body.
"Oh my god! Rose. Rose? Are you ok?"
"I...I...I don't know Liss, are you?" I asked and noticed I was whispering
"I'm just...shocked...so shocked." There was a long pause before she continued, "Rose, just stay ok? Don't worry about anything, I will find you help and we will get you out ok? We will try to find you."
I didn't feel Lissa leave my mind, but I knew she had. It was just me. Sitting there. I was about to be turned, and I had just witnessed Mikael kill Jonathon. Lissa better hurry up if she wants to find me without red eyes and a hungry, greedy attitude. All I could say was, "Oh shit."
