Sorry that it took so long, college sucks! But here it is Chapter 15…. ENJOY!

Previously:

And just as I was about to start beating the shit out of all three of them like I was promised, a guardian burst into the room.

"Come quick, Hathaway's on TV!"

Then without even a second thought, we all followed the guardian who was running towards the moroi dorms.

Stan stayed behind to watch the prisoners while Alberta and I ran as fast as we could to the moroi dorms where the guardian who came to get us said that when the students were watching TV in the lounge room came across my Roza on the TV strapped to a table.

Needless to say as soon as the guardian said that, I ran even faster and in no time we reached the moroi dorm lounge where I saw Lissa, Christian, Tasha, and Adrian amongst the other students but I was barely aware of anyone at all when I looked to the large TV mounted on the wall.

On the TV I saw several humans that I recognized from the group that came to kidnap Rose. And then I saw Roza in the background strapped to a metal table surrounded by various instruments that they indeed plan to torture her with.

As soon as I saw it, my breathing picked up and I felt the intense need to break down because there was absolutely nothing I could do to save her.

Somewhere in the background noise I heard Alberta contacting the local Alchemists and for that I could not have been more thankful but I refused to look away from the TV especially when the human son of bitch began to speak.

"Tonight those of you watching will be the first to witness the existence of vampires and the way we will prove it will be to torture the vampire specimen we have here that we just so happened to capture earlier this evening, and we will continue to do so until she reveals herself to you."

I immediately tensed, but I could have never prepared myself for when he walked over to her, grabbed the car battery and began to electrocute her.

The agonizing, blood curdling scream that escaped her lips had me dying inside and I knew that the horror showed on my face but I could have cared less at that moment.

I turned to face Alberta begging her to get the Alchemists to hurry up and find her because I wasn't sure how much longer I could go without her safely in my arms. Alberta then assured me that the Alchemists were currently tracking the broadcasting signal and would hopefully have a location within minutes. This in my opinion wasn't fast enough.

Then the room goes silent as Rose's screams are silenced and we all turn back to the TV screen to see what was happening.

And what I saw was something that would scar me for life. My Roza was nearly unconscious and clearly fighting to stay awake and alert like the fighter I know her to be. But that clearly was not what those bastards wanted from her so they began to slowly and deeply cut into her beautiful skin along her arms making blood flow down her arms and drip off her finger tips that formed into fists with every gash they made. But what hurt even worse were her screams echoing throughout the silent room.

And with every scream all I could think of was why couldn't I protect her?

Then out of nowhere I feel a slight pressure on my arm and when I turned to see Alberta she gave me the news that the Alchemists had called informing her that they located the signal and were now on their way and the new found hope that filled me was very much welcomed knowing that my Roza would be safe and in my arms in no time.

I then turned back to the TV.

"Listen you sorry ass son of a bitch," there's my Roza," for the last time, I am not a vampire, I am not of the undead, and if you're smart enough to understand this, I DO NOT DRINK BLOOD…" But then Rose instantly went quiet once she noticed the smirk on the humans face and with the look in his eyes, I knew it could not be good.

"Blood….. of course, how could I forget? You must be very hungry," and with that he held the knife to his wrist and slit it and then held it to Rose's mouth. She immediately shut it tightly and shook her head. But then he held her nose shut and it wasn't long before she needed to breath but when she gasped for air, the vile human shoved his bleeding wrist into her open mouth. After a while, he finally removed his wrist and then Rose spat not only the blood but what was most likely the entire contents of her stomach.

After several minutes of it, she looked even worse than she did before. Pale, sickly looking skin, dark marks under her eyes. I wasn't sure how much more of this she could take, I wasn't sure how much more of this I could take and I was using every last ounce of what little control I had left to not lash out. I may not be able to protect her from those humans right now but I will protect her from the abuse she would get from the students for having a relationship with me.

Then just as the human was about to hurt her again, the doors burst open and about half a dozen or more cops came rushing through the door, or at least what looked like cops but the gold tattoos on their cheeks allowed us to identify them as the Alchemists that Alberta had spoken with. And within a matter of seconds, all the other humans were incapacitated and the TV screen went black.

After I had finished puking on the floor, I felt even more sick and weak than I did after they electrocuted and cut me. How Lissa can manage to drink that stuff, I'll never know, it tasted like rust.

I really, really, really hate humans, and then just as this son of a bitch was about to do god only knows what to me, the doors burst about with about seven or eight cops and had all the humans who tortured me handcuffed and unconscious in seconds.

Then before I knew it, two of them had me freed from the table, maybe I don't hate ALL humans.

But these humans struck me as odd, the two with me looked very uncomfortable and the rest tried to stay as far away from me as possible.

Then just as I was about to ask them why, a dark shadow caught the corner of my eye. And when I turned to see what it was, I saw Mason, or at least a paler and translucent version of Mason wearing the same clothes I last saw him alive in, the clothes he wore when he died.

HOW WAS THIS POSSIBLE? I must be going insane, what the hell did those humans do to me?

But when I focused back on my dead friend, I could see him trying to say something, but it looked like he was having trouble. And in a matter of minutes, he went from frustrated to panicked, to downright terrified. And then out of nowhere I felt a sudden wave of nausea in the pit of my stomach before all hell broke loose.

DPOV

As soon as the TV went black I immediately turned to Alberta to demand her to call the Alchemists to see what was going on only to find her already on the phone with one of the Alchemists there with my Roza.

"Easy Dimitri, they tell me that she's alright and they're going to bring her back here as soon as they can." And with every word she speaks I could feel the tension leave my body knowing that I'll have my Roza very soon.

But that calm moment was shortly lived because we then heard a loud crash and screaming coming from her phone. Alberta demanded to know what was going on and I immediately tensed again not knowing what was going on with my Roza.

Luckily Alberta put the phone on speaker so that I wouldn't have to strain my hearing to hear what was being said. Alberta then repeated the question asking what was happening, and what the Alchemist said left me feeling breathless, rigid, and completely terrified for the love of my life.

"Strigoi…"

And there you have it, I know it's not much but I will have another chapter posted for tomorrow so don't worry. Please review too, I would really appreciate it, Thank you!
