Chapter 9

"Go to hell! Oh wait you don't have to wait long because you will be dead soon enough." I sneer.

"Feisty. I like my dhampirs that way. Maybe I will keep you." He purrs.

"Dimitri won't get the chance to kill you that job will be long doneby the time he gets here." I snap.

"While your in chains? Try me. If you break them I'll be impressed then." He laughs. Oh shit I had forgotten about that tiny detail. Of course they won't just let me run around the room freely.

"That's what I thought." Nathan said smirking as he got up and left the room shutting the door behind him and locking it. I went back into Lissa's head. Her, Adrian, Thalia, Daniel, Thomas, Mom, Dimitri, and a few others were speeding a van towards the warehouse.

"Dimitri, no matter what keep Rose safe." Adrian begged.

"I promise to keep her safe at all costs." Dimitri promised. I finally saw the warehouse come into view. I snapped out of Lissa's head and began to break the chair. I rocked back and forth in the chair finally the legs gave out and snapped. I stood up and let the chains fall down around my feet.

"Belikov is a foolish man! His little bloodwhore is dead!" I heard Nathan yell. A weapon! I needed a weapon because of course they had their stupid little humans take mine off of me. My eyes fell on the broken leg of the chair and I snatched it up before I had a chance to think. I jumped up one of the rafters and stood up there waiting for Nathan to come and kill me or rather come to his death. The door opened and Nathan walked in stopping at the chains and he looked at that.

"Well well well. I must say I'm impressed, Rose. You actually got out of your chains. But I am a man of my word and since Mr. Belikov didn't come alone I am here to kill you." He announced.

"I will find you." He taunted.

"No need. I'm going to give myself away! You know I was never very good at hide-n-seek." I say before jumping down with my wooden stake in hand. Nathan was fast enough for Nathan to throw me at the wall and knocking my breath out of me. He chuckled and picked me up by my hair. I screamed by the pain. I felt his sharp fangs prick into my neck. I decided then was the best time to stake him. I shoved my stake in to his chest as hard as I could knowing it wouldn't kill him but it would buy me time. He screamed and released me. I fell back but I was too weak to get past the doorway before I collapsed. Before I blacked out I remember seeing three figures running to me one stopping at me pleading, "Roza. Please stay awake."

I woke up and saw nothing but white all around me. Is this Heaven? I asked myself. Suddenly a girls face appeared in front of me. Lissa's face.

"Rose! You're finally awake. Thank God!" She cried.

"Wh-what happened?" I asked.

"You were held captive by that strigoi Nathan. But that doesn't matter anymore. Um I really need to speak with you when you are all better. You can't handle the stress right now, but later I will tell you." She promised.

"Your pregnant?" I ask.

"What? No. God no." she laughs.

"Princess who are you talking to?" a familiar voice asks.

"Rose. She's awake!" she squeals.

"What? My Roza is awake?" he said. He peered down at me. I instantly got lost in his chocolate brown eyes.

"Hi Roza. How are you?" He asks.

"I feel fine right now. When do I get out of here. And what happened that was so bad I'm in the hospital?" I demand to know.

"You lost a lot of blood and you were pretty beat up." He said softly.

"Dimitri I don't think Rose remembers anything of her kidnapping." Lissa said.

"Good." He said sternly.

"I'm going to go find Christian. See you later Rose." Lissa said before leaving me and Dimitri.

"Oh Roza I'm so glad you're safe. And you don't need to worry. Nathan is dead." Dimitri soothed. I suddenly remembered Nathan taking me and feeding off of me. I was the bait for Dimitri. There was another think involving Dimitri I just couldn't remember. Then I remembered Daniel.

"Is Daniel okay? Is he miori again?" I ask.

"Yes and so are Thalia and Thomas. Thalia wanted to apologize about earlier with how she acted. She would be here but her and Thomas went back to their parents house for the weekend." He said.

"Good. They need to. Their parents deserve to know that they are alive. Hold on. Did you ever call your mom?" I ask.

"No. I don't think they will accept me back after what I did to you." He said looking down at the ground.

"WHAT? They deserve to know your alive!" I growled. Before he could argue I snatched my bag up from the table beside me ad punched I Olena's number. The dial tone kicked in and almost instantly somebody picked up.
