Hey everyone!
It seems like everyone is doing this, so I'm going to do it too..
Once I reach 60 reviews, I will post a side chapter and it will be of Yeva's and Dimitri's conversation.
So, please enjoy and review :)
BLOOD WHORE DISTRICT
RPOV
I laid there in the bed, feeling, scared, alone, frustrated and dirty. Dirty because of what Ivan was about to do. It brought back all of my fears and worst nightmares about Adrian.
It seemed like hours had passed since Ivan left the room. I couldn't hear a thing coming from inside the house. No creaks, footsteps or hushed conversations. You could hear a pin drop if one did.
I could tell that I was on the second level of the house, only because of the view I had from a tiny window I had in the room. I could see a large tree, who's branches were scraping across the window pane. The tree were also obscuring my window from a passerby seeing it.
My eyes were red and puffy. No more tears were falling, I did not have anymore to cry.
I tried to sleep, but it would not come to me. Every time I would close my eyes I would see Ivan and Adrian's faces morphing into each other. So mostly I just laid there in a daze.
Suddenly I heard foot steps coming down the hall. Whoever it was, was trying not to be heard. Every time the floor boards creaked loud, the steps would stop. The person was making sure that they wouldn't wake anyone.
The footsteps stopped at my door. I watched as the person turned the door knob. I froze in fear, not knowing who was coming through that door, or what they were going to do to me.
SONYA'S POV
We were all back at Momma's house. I watched as Dimitri guided Paul back upstairs to bed. I knew Dimitri wouldn't come back down. He was too miserable and upset about Ivan taking Rose.
Normally in a situation like this, when someone is kidnapped, you would call the police. But we couldn't. Ivan's pockets were deep and half, if not more, of the Baia's police were on his payroll. So, we had to search the old fashion way. On our own.
Momma, Yeva and Mikhail's Sonya went into the living room, leaving Karolina, Viktoria and myself in the kitchen. Mikhail went upstairs to talk with Dimitri and to see how he was coping.
Getting fed up, I pushed my plate filled of food across the table. "I cannot just sit here, I'm going back out to look for Rose. Dimitri is in no shape right now to go." Looking at my two sisters, with frustration and determination in my eyes, I said, "Are you coming with me?". We left without telling anyone.
We took my car and headed north end of town.
"Where should we start looking?", Viktoria said from the backseat.
"If you were scum beneath scum, where would you lurk?", Karolina stated.
We all thought for a moment, trying to think like Ivan. I shivered at the thought of trying to get into his head.
"I got it!" Viktoria exclaimed. "Blood Whore District!..Don't look at me like that Lina..That's what everyone calls that street." Viktoria was now leaning on the back of the front seats.
I shrugged my shoulders and interrupted Karolina's look at Viktoria, by saying, "It's worth a shot." We headed six blocks over to Blood Whore District.
We were tip towing through abandon houses and garbage strewn backyards, trying to find any clues to see if Rose or Ivan was here or around.
We were walking down the deserted street, when we noticed a man standing at the corner of a house, second last one on the right. He was leaning up against the house, hands in his pockets, kicking a foot at nothing and occasionally looking up at a tree covered window.
The three of us hid behind a pile of garbage that had long since been abandoned, watching the guy.
"What are we going to do?" Viktoria whispered.
We all just crouched there in silence. None of us had a plan on what we would do if we encountered someone.
"Well, we are not going to find out hiding behind here." Viktoria stood up and started to walk towards the guy.
"Viktoria! Get back here!" I whispered hollered. But it was too late, she was almost to him.
VIKTORIA'S POV
What in the world was I thinking? Well, my vice was acting before thinking things through. This had to be one of the most stupidest things that I have done. Going up to a strange man, at the crack of dawn in Blood Whore District, was not a smart thing to do.
I could hear Sonya call to me, but it was too late, I was pretty close to the guy.
"Here goes nothing.", I said to myself.
"Hey you, is Ivan around?" His answer was going to be 50/50. I was taking a chance with this guy knowing Ivan.
The short stubby guy snapped his head up in surprise. I don't think he expected anyone to come up on him.
"I...ummm..." He was looking around, I guess he was debating on what he would tell me.
"I think we might be on to something here.", I squealed with excitement, in my head. "Well...Spit it out...I'm not getting any younger." I said as defiantly as I could, while crossing my arms and tapping my foot.
"He..he...he's sleeping." Stubby Man studdered out.
My eyes lite up in excitement. I turned around and I waved them over to where I was standing and hollered just above a whisper, "Karolina, Sonya! Ivan is here, so Rose must be here too!"
Sonya and Karolina shot up from their hiding spot and raced over. I turned back around to face Stubby, he was now standing pin straight with a look of shock on his face.
"You...your Ivan's girls..", he said with realization all over his face. "Oh my! He is going to kill me over this." He started to panic, his eyes going everywhere.
I slapped him across his face, it was the only way I could think of to calm him down and he needed to calm down fast before anyone was alerted to us being out here.
He looked at me straight in the eyes, his breathing calming down just a bit. By now Sonya and Karolina was by my side. Both of them ready to help me subdue the man if necessary.
"What is your name?" I asked very calmly, so not to get him agitated again.
"Peter, my name is Peter.", he said getting his breathing back to normal. "I'm watching the window to make sure the girl don't get out."
I looked at my sisters."Rose is here.", I said. I looked back at Peter, he had a look of total terror on his face. He cracked.
"I only agreed to help him, because he said he only wanted to scare the girl and make his son suffer. But when he started to hurt her...I didn't sign up for this..." he spat out all at once.
My blood boiled. I grabbed Peter by the scuff of his collar and pushed him against the house.
"Easy Vik...He might be able to help us." Sonya calmly put a hand on my shoulder. Peter shook his head yes.
We all stood around quietly talking and making a plan to rescue Rose. It was decided that Peter would continue on like he was helping Ivan while we waited for back up to come.
We tried calling the house, but the phone just kept going to the answering machine and Dimitri's had thrown his cell phone at the wall breaking it. Momma and Yeva didn't own a cell phone and neither of us knew Mikhail or Sonya's cell number.
All was silent until we heard screaming, it was Rose's screams. We all looked up at the window, panic coursing through us all.
"One of us needs to go for help. We cannot go in their without it." Karolina said with a panic stricken voice.
"I'm the fastest. I will run the six blocks home." I took off like a bat out of hell before anyone could argue.
I ran the whole six blocks home, not stopping for a second. I had to get Dimitri before Ivan hurt Rose too bad.
I ran in the house. I glimpsed around for Dimitri, but he wasn't there. "Upstairs!", I said out loud to myself. I rushed out of the room and up the stairs to Dimitri's room.
"What's wrong!" Momma called after me. I did not respond. All I could think of was getting Dimitri.
I burst in to his room all out of breath. Mikhail and Dimitri were sitting on the bed in silence. Both of them shot up like lightening bolt when I busted into the room.
Dimitri took two strides to where I was standing and clutched both of my shoulders in a tight grasp. I winced a little at how tight he was holding me.
Dimitri looked me straight in the eyes. I looked into his, I could barely breathe from all the running I just did.
"What's wrong Viktoria?" He said as he tightened his grip on me. I don't think he realized how tight he was holding onto me.
"Let her catch her breath.", Mikhail scolded Dimitri.
Dimitri let go of his hold on me. I bent over with my head down and rested my hands on my knees. When I had a bit of my breath back,I raised only my head up and struggled to say, "It's...Rose...We...Found...We found where she is being kept.."
In less than a flash, I was running again. This time I had Dimitri and Mikhail racing after me.
As we raced by the living room, Dimitri said, "Found Rose...You three stay here with Paul..."
On our way there I told Dimitri that Ivan had hurt Rose, but I didn't know to what extent. I also told him that when I left to get him, we could hear Rose's screams.
"HE IS DEAD!", was all Dimitri had said.
So, what did you think? Do you think I'm moving a bit fast? Or is it going at a good pace? If you have any suggestions or ideas on what should happen, please let me know..
Thanks for reading, now please review :)
