Why must it be that my life is screwed up? Why can't I have a normal life with a normal kids and wife but I also wish I didn't because then I wouldn't have met my beautiful Roza.
DPOV
Okay so maybe someone could've held me back but damn my kids were strong! They pulled me back just as I was about to stand.
"No dad!" Alek whispered.
"Look at what they're doing to her!" I whispered back. Right in front of my eyes, Rose was getting slapped by a blond strigoi. I couldn't make his face out because his back was to me. They were talking but I couldn't make out what they were saying. Then, the blond strigoi let go of Rose as another took his place. The blond strigoi kissed Rose again and I swear I wanted to kill him right there. He then slipped his hands in Rose's shirt. As if sensing what he was going to do, she tried to squirm out of his grip. I was beyond mad at what he was trying to do to my Roza. She's not yours! Shut it! Does it look like I care, I still love her! Yes, but the question is, does she? Shut up! Great, now I'm talking to myself. Before anyone could see it coming, I had already rushed out of our hiding place and stood there.
"Step. Away. From. Her. Right. Now." I said in a voice that I didn't recognize as my own. It sounded cold, dark and dangerous. The blond strigoi turned around and I was shocked at who I saw. It was Nathan… but me being the Guardian, I hid my shock. Then, Roza had let out a blood curling scream. I watched as the strigoi holding her, sank his fangs into her. Anger flashed dangerously through my eyes. I was seeing red. As soon as I took a step forward, a strigoi jumped me. In a flash, he was dead on the ground. Just then, Alek and Alex stepped out. I saw that they too, were furious. Roza let out a yelp as the strigoi threw her to the ground harshly. The strigoi looked at me and smirked. I looked at him disgusted because he had Rose's blood on him.
"You, bitch! You're going to pay for doing that to out mom!" Alex yelled. Before anyone could blink, the strigoi was dead on the floor in a pile of ash. I stared agape at what just took place. I quickly regained sense that we were in the middle of a fight. I noticed that Rose looked unconscious.
"Roza!" I yelled.
"Dad, don't worry. She'll be alright." Alex assured me.
"So you two are the special ones." Nathan observed. Oh yes, they were really special! I'm going to have to ask them about that later.
"No shit Sherlock! You know for a strigoi you're so stupid." Alex told him. He was in front of her in a blink.
"Don't you dare call me stupid little girl." he threatened. Without hesitation, Alex kicked Nathan where the sun never shines. He groaned and grabbed his crotch.
"Not so little anymore, am I?" she taunted.
"Hulle aanval" he gasped out, clearly in pain. All of the strigoi's attacked. I counted about 15 there. We each had five strigoi's each. Luckily, they attacked one at a time. I could tell that the first one who attacked me was a new one by how careless she was. Her moves were reckless and were uncoordinated. She forgot to block her chest which gave me more than enough time to stake her. She fell to the ground, the light draining from her eyes. I had the next two down in a flash. This was too easy. The next strigoi was much smarter. He deciphered my moves from watching me and was able to block most of them. The punches he threw were harder than mine and I realized that the only way to win was to throw a move he thought I didn't know. I thought of one I didn't do so far.
"Why are you following Nathan?" I asked the strigoi as I blocked a kick he threw. I hoped that he would talk, that way it would distract him and give me enough time to do the move.
"He is our leader." He said as he scraped my face with his nails.
"You should be able to lead your own life." I told him. He threw a punch to my face which I blocked easily.
"NO!" he yelled. I noticed that in my peripheral view that Alek and Alex were easily taking down their strigoi. Lucky them!
"Listen to me. Why have someone else control your life?" I asked. He seemed to think about it, forgetting he was in a fight. I took control then. I feigned left and went right and did a roundhouse kick to his head. He didn't see it coming and was unable to block it. He fell to the floor, and before he could move, I was already on top of him, staking him.
"First lesson, don't hesitate." I said. I heard a clap behind me. I stood up, taking my stake as well. I looked into red eyes of a familiar person. I studied him carefully. Blond hair, amused expression… it can't be.
"Ivan?" I asked incredulously.
"Glad to see you remember me, bro." he said smiling. I was shocked. Even I couldn't hide my shock this time.
"I…I thought you were dead." I told him.
"No. You see, Jolie, my other guardian, took me out and brought me right into a strigoi cave. She tricked me and got me turned and herself killed." He told me. I can't believe Jolie did that.
"Maybe I shouldn't have let you stay home huh Dimitri? We could've been best buds as a strigoi. I'm giving you a chance here Dimitri. It's either you turn or be turned. We could roam the world together." He said. I shook my head.
"No Ivan! I will never turn. I'd rather die than be turned." I told him as I took a fighting position. His smile dropped.
"Wrong choice Dimitri. You were always the careful one." He tsked as he took his stance. He lunged at me without hesitation. He was faster and stronger than most… maybe it's because he's been alive so long you ass! This is no time for smart talking! Now shut up! He threw a punch at my rib and I blocked it in time but got the worst of it. I threw a kick to his face which he didn't block but it looked like it didn't even hurt. He didn't even stumble backwards. He laughed.
"You can't beat me Dimitri." He said as I punched him in his jaw. He threw a kick to my hand which made it hurt like hell.
"You should just give up!" he taunted. I scraped him with the stake by his face and he screamed out in pain. He was angry.
"Give up and get turned!" he yelled punching me in the stomach, leaving me gasping for air, and knocking the stake out of my hand, sending it flying. I tasted blood in my mouth. He kicked the back of my legs which made me fall down on the hard earth. Oh we're in some deep shit now! Ya think! Why am I talking to myself? Gosh I'm such a weirdo. I felt Ivan pull me up roughly by my hair. I didn't make a sound even though it hurt like hell. I tried looking around for the stake. It was only a couple of inches away.
"Dimitri, your blood smells so good." Ivan said and smelled my neck. That's disgusting! Is he gay? It's so not the time to ask that question. Well sorry! Ivan brought me back to reality when I felt his teeth graze my neck. I suddenly realized that this was how I was going to die. I would never get to see my Roza ever again. I felt Ivan's hot breath on my neck. I love you, Roza I waited for the pain but it never came.
"Oh, no you don't!" I heard someone yell. Ivan stopped what he was doing and looked up. I noticed that it was Alek. Ivan's head burst into flames which cause him to drop me. He was screaming in pain and fell to the floor. I grabbed the stake off the ground and jumped him. As soon as I was on him, Alek stopped the flames.
"I'm sorry Ivan." I whispered before plunging the stake into his heart.
"Thank you, Dimitri." He gasped out, the light leaving his eyes, which were turning back to its original color, green. I closed his eye lids down gently with the palm of my hand. I closed my eyes and said a short little prayer in Russian. I opened my eyes remembering Roza. How can you forget her you nut head! I've heard enough of you! I was up in a flash and ran to her side, along with Alek and Alex. I knelt down besides her.
"Roza! Roza! Roza please!" I begged. Christian and the rest came once they knew it was safe. I checked her pulse; it was there but very weak. I sighed in relief. I examined her neck, where the strigoi bit her, and noticed that the blood was dried up. I ripped a piece of my jersey off and tied it around her neck. Not tight enough to choke her but just enough to prevent anymore blood from coming out.
"Nathan got away." Alex said besides me. I looked at her.
"No," I whispered.
"Rose!" Lissa yelled and knelt down besides her. She reached her hands outwards. I instantly knew what she was going to do. We waited a few moments and I noticed that she looked a bit pale. I also saw that some cuts from Rose were fading as Lissa worked her magic.
"Christian," I motioned to Lissa. He got the idea and caught her before she fell back.
"Liss, Liss! You alright?" he asked her gently. Lissa smiled up to him a little dazed.
"I'm fine, just a little worn out." She told him but her words were slightly slurred.
"Dad, your face! It's bleeding!" Alex exclaimed. I touched my face and flinched because it burned.
"It's okay." I told her. I stood and whipped my phone out. I dialed the Alchemist. A woman answered.
"Hello, Sydney speaking." She greeted.
"Hello Sydney. This is Guardian Belikov. I would like to report some dead strigoi's by New York's Concert for Performers about five feet into the forest please." I told her.
"Okay, we'll be there in about five minutes." She said and hung up. I snapped my phone shut and put it away. Alex came up to me and placed her hand on my face. I stood stunned at what she just did. I touched my face and sure enough the bruise wasn't there anymore.
"How…?" I asked her. She gave me a smile.
"I'll explain later." She told me. I nodded.
"Alright, you all go back inside and get in the van. I'll wait here for the Alchemist." I told them.
"I'll stay with you." Adrian said. I looked at him and sighed.
"Alright. The rest of you go." I told them and they nodded. They left, Christian lifting up Lissa. Their was an awkward silence between Adrian and I. We weren't really good friends but we were… okay. I walked over to Rose and placed her head on my lap. I stroked her hair.
"Ах Роза! Мне так жаль, что я от тебя ушла. Если бы вы только знали, почему. Я так люблю тебя больше, чем вы никогда не узнает." I spoke to her quietly in Russian. Adrian came over and spoke.
"The Alchemist are here." He informed me. I nodded. I placed Rose's head on the floor gently and stood. I walked over to the Alchemist, only to find Adrian flirting with her. I rolled my eyes. I thought he was married! Me too. I laughed inwardly.
"Hello you must be Sydney," I greeted her with a handshake. She nodded.
"Guardian Belikov." She shook. I lead her where the strigois were.
"Oh my!" she exclaimed, bringing her hands to her mouth.
"Rose!" she ran over to her. And here I am thinking that she never saw so many strigois. Adrian and I walked over, curious to how they knew each other.
"You know Rose?" I asked her. She nodded.
"As much as I hate to admit it, she's one of the creatures I actually like." She said, directing the sentence to Adrian. I laughed.
"We're going to attend to Rose after the strigois have been removed." I told her.
"Did you call Alberta?" she asked standing up.
"Alberta? She's here?" I asked. She nodded again.
"Call her." She told me. I took out my phone and dialed her.
"Dimitri!" she exclaimed.
"Hey Alberta." I greeted.
"What can I do for you?" she asked.
"Well, I'm actually here with Rose. We kind of met up with some strigois and she needs some help. Do you know any Dhampir doctors here in New York?" I asked her.
"Yes, go to Health St. James and ask for Dr. Cabal." She said.
"Okay. Thank you and goodbye." I told her. We hung up just as Sydney finished.
"Alright. That's it?" she asked. I nodded. I went and picked up Rose bridal style along with the stake. I brushed some of her hair off her face. Beautiful I thought silently. I looked up when Sydney spoke.
"That doesn't work on me." She said and rolled her eyes.
"Adrian, you coming?" I asked.
"I'll meet you there. I'm going to do some catching up with Syd here." He told me.
"How are you going to get there?" I asked.
"I'll get a drop with Sydney here." He spoke not looking at me.
"Whatever. Sydney, you okay with him? I mean don't hesitate to throw him out your car." I told her as I walked with Rose. I heard her laugh. I made it there and saw everyone sitting. I placed Rose in the back with Lissa. Christian was driving since he knew the place pretty well. I noticed that my kids were there as well but they were engrossed in their own conversation.
"Dimka." I heard someone call and a chill ran down my spine. Oh dear God. I closed the door.
"Drive to Health St. James and ask for Dr. Cabal. She will take care of Rose. Now!" I said. Christian nodded and sped off. I turned around and faced Tasha. No… I stared at her now red eyes and pale skin. My guardian instincts kicked in and I reached for the stake.
"You're not going to leave your charge are you?" she asked in a sickly sweet voice.
"You're not my charge anymore. Why did you do this Tasha?" I asked her. We started walking around in circles, watching each others moves.
"Why? Because I wanted to." She said like it was nothing.
"You're the only family that Christian has and you've turned strigoi!" I told her. She nodded.
"I know but it seems he hates me. Doesn't everyone." She stated.
"Tasha, who turned you." I asked her.
"Nathan. Nice man he is. Handsome to." She said as she kicked me in the ribs. I heard a faint crack and I clutched them, groaning in pain, just as she scraped my cheek.
"Tasha, listen to me. You don't want to go around killing innocent people do you?" I asked her calmly. I was trying to get her distracted.
"Yes I do and if I can't have you then no one can!" she sneered, baring her fangs. Damn! That girl is possessive!
"Tasha, there are humans here. You don't want to cause a scene," I stated.
"I don't care!" she hissed at me. In a flash I whipped out my stake and scraped her face, the same said that had the scar, which caused it to bleed yet again. She screamed in agony as she clutched her face. That caused some people to stop and look where the scream came from.
"Come now Natasha." I heard Nathan's voice call.
"I'll be back! You better watch out for Rose because this time I am not going to spear her," she said and ran off to Nathan I guess. I sighed and put the stake away. I touched my side where she kicked me and flinched. I looked at my hand and sure enough there was some blood there. I got a cab and immediately went to Hospital St. James. I ran in and went to the front desk.
"Rose Hathaway?" I asked.
"Room 167," they said. I nodded and sprinted towards the room. I didn't even knock, I just went right in. All eyes turned to me. I saw nearly everyone there, including Alberta. Though Adrian and Sydney were no where to be found.
"Is she okay?" I asked no one in particular.
"She has a concussion, two broken ribs, and severe blood loss and may have amnesia." The doctor, who I presumed was Dr. Cabal, said. I was in shock at what she said. My stomach sank at the sight of Roza. Rose looked terrible. She had tubes running through her nose and hands, and her waist was bandaged. She looked deathly pale. The only thing that gave me hope that she was still alive was the heart machine that she was hooked up to. Wait… did she just say Amnesia? Yes you dip!
"Amnesia? What do you mean amnesia?" I asked worried. Amnesia is when you can't remember things. I know that! I asked what she means not what it is! Who's the dumb one now? Still you.
"Well she does have because of how hard her head was hit against the ground." She told me.
"Is it permanent?" I asked.
"It's a possibility but most likely she'll remember through time. So don't worry, she'll be okay." She assured me. I nodded. I then heard some gasps in the room.
"What?" I asked them.
"Dimitri you're bleeding!" Christian said. Dr. Cabal walked up to be and pressed her hands against my ribs. I flinched where she touched.
"I will bring a bed in here and wrap you up." She told me as she exited. I sighed.
"I have some bad news." I said quietly.
"What can be worse than this?" Alberta asked. I walked up to Christian.
"I'm so sorry Chris. Tasha turned strigoi." I told him sadly. Lissa gasped and hugged Christian. Everyone else was just in shock. I looked at Christian and he looked pale… like if he saw a ghost. Just then Dr. Cabal came in with an extra bed. She took one look at Christian and spoke.
"I'll be right back with another bed." She said leaving yet again.
"Dad? Are you alright?" Amy hesitantly asked. He nodded and his body shook a bit. He then collapsed but not before I caught him.
"Oh no!" Lissa said. Dr. Cabal came back in shortly. I laid Christian down as Dr. Cabal examined him.
"He's going to be ok. He fainted because of shock but he'll be up soon." She told us.
"Thank you so much Dc. Cabal! I'm glad that they're safe in your hands," I thanked her.
"Please, it's Lauren, and I'm not quite finished yet." She told me. I looked at her confused before remembering myself. She instructed me and I sat patiently on the bed. Lauren shooed everyone out until she was finished. It took about half an hour till she was finished. She had wrapped up my sides, told me that my ribs would heal in no time, and cleaned up my face so it now only had a tiny bruise there. Everyone literally ran in.
"Oh my Dimitri!" Lissa exclaimed. I chuckled slightly.
"I'm fine Lissa." I noticed that she had some bags under her eyes as well as the kids.
"Guys, go home and stay in there. Lock all the doors and don't come out. Get some rest. You all look horrible." I told them all. They laughed and left. Alex came over and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"See you tomorrow dad," Alek said as they walked out. I suddenly felt wary and wanted to do nothing more than sleep. I welcomed the blackness as it engulfed me.
