Chapter 7 Nightmare
I hear water trickling, and a really weird smell. Almost like being out side, but under the ground. My eyes snap open, only to be greeted with darkness. I blink several times, trying to let my eyes adjust to the darkness. Once they do, I scan the room I am in. I was right I am underground; I see the walls made of mud and clay. The faint sound of water trickling, I look closer to the walls and can see the water seeping out. I try to sit up to take more of the room in, and find that I am bound by my feet and wrists. Hearing voices and a faint light coming my way, I close my eyes and fake sleep.
"Well now what do we do with her? Victor never told us what his whole plan was. Now that he is dead we really have no need for her. I say we make her dinner and be done with her" I stiffened, listening to them talk about making me their supper.
"NO! You are not to touch her, or let anyone else for that matter. I know the plan; we have one half of the two. Now we only need the other girl and we will have the whole. Victor said they are bonded, we need to see that. If we can bond with other strigoi, can you imagine what that would mean for our kind? To be able to communicate with others no matter how far away we are. We could still take over, just as Victor wanted." I almost laughed out loud at this comment. He sounded like some bad super villain plotting his revenge on mankind. Well I guess that is what he was doing, but well I liked my version better.
"Alright, so what do we do now?" Idiot, does this guy not listen. Apparently not!
"We turn her, from what Victor said she will take the bond with her after she is turned. That was we have a lethal weapon and a bond with the Dragomire girl. With the bond we will always know where she is, will make getting her that much easier" He snickered, are you kidding me. Since when do strigoi snicker?
I felt cold hands on my wrists and feet. Wait are they untying me? Fools! As soon as the bindings were released I snapped up and before they knew what had hit them, I staked them both with the sharp end of the torch that one of them was holding. I smiled down at them; I didn't even make the fire go out on the torch.
I crept to the doorway and heard loud voices coming towards me. I slithered tight against the wall, out the door and down the tunnel. I silently went through the tunnels, hoping I was going in the right direction. It felt like forever, and I was just about to turn back to see if I could find the way out when I spotted day light. I ran as hard and as fast as I could towards it. Once out I didn't stop, I looked around and realized I was back in the caves not that far from the school. I kept running, and again time seemed to move slowly. I felt like I had run for hours, and sighed with relief when the school came into view. I ran towards the guardian's housing. I flung the door open and ran into a wall. Well not actually a wall, but rather a person. I stumbled back, and whipped m y head up to be greeted by a very sad looking face.
"Marcus?" His head snapped up, and as his eyes made contact with mine his mouth flew open. We stared at each other for a few seconds before I sighed and flew into his chest. His strong arms enveloping me into his chest. I felt the tears on my cheeks and raised my head to kiss his lips.
"I thought I lost you" He whispered. I shook my head and cuddled more into his embrace.
"Well honestly I had no clue what was going on, but I knew I had to get out of there and back to you and Lissa. OH MY GOD LISSA, is she ok?" I asked, not sure if I would be ok with a negative answer.
"Yes Rose she is fine, well not really fine. We all thought you were taken. She is very sad and depressed" We heard a throat clear and I whipped around to see a cocky faced Dimitri. He winked at me and moved closer to me trying to pull me from Marcus. I looked up at him, shock my head and went back to talking to Marcus. I felt a tap tap tap on my shoulder and turned to see him still standing there. I lost it.
"What do you want?" I snapped at him.
"Roza...please?" I shook my hand and took Marcus's hand. Leading him to the place I knew we had to go. I knew the pieces of the puzzle and now it was time to put them together.
