Alexis POV
(Continues from Behind Stage)
"Good luck." Mom wished us. As Alek and I headed towards the stage, we saw our friends, Cameron, Carla and Danny. Danny and Carla were currently dating and so was Cameron, but with a person we didn't know. Carla was a pretty blond with amethyst eyes while Danny had dirty blonde hair with ocean blue eyes. They made a very cute couple together. Cameron was nearly the opposite of them with black hair and grey eyes.
"Hey you guys." We greeted. The all greeted us.
"So are still doing the vacation thing?" Carla asked.
"Only if you guys want too!" I told them. They nodded their heads.
"That's fine with us. Besides, we all need a break!" Alek stated and everyone nodded.
"Alright everyone! Who's ready to listen to an awesome band?" Connor shouted into the mike. I heard the crowd hooting and hollering. I smiled at this.
"Okay! Okay! Well, here they are! The one, the only White Noise!" We took this as our cue and walked on, big smiles on our faces.
"How are you guys today?" Alek yelled into the mike.
"Ok well, we're going to sing you guys this new song that I wrote!" he told them. Yeah right!
"He means US," I told him, glaring. He whispered something that I didn't quite get.
"What was that?" I asked sharply.
"And 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4!" he said quickly. I rolled my eyes. I had let myself get lost in the song. It ended all too quickly.
"Thank you!" Alek shouted.
"You guys are amazing! Now let's give it up for Danny our main guitar man, Carla our drummer and Cameron our bass guitar player!" The crowd clapped wildly. Loser face didn't mention me.
"Wow, thanks so much for including me!" I told him sarcastically.
"Oh really? You're welcome." Alek replied.
"Bastard," I called him.
"Bitch," he retorted.
"Ass,"
"Asswipe," I raised my eyebrow. Asswipe?
"Dick." I replied.
"SHUTUP!" Everyone screamed. We laughed.
"WE KNOW YOU LOVE US!" We yelled into the mike.
"Don't miss us! We'll be back for another song!" I concluded as we left with all smiles on our faces. The guys were all talking so I left to go into the dressing room. We had a little bit of time for ourselves before we go back on. I jumped on the couch and picked up the book that Carla told me to read. It was Twilight. I hated the book. It was the new covers where it showed Robert and Kirsten. Honestly I thought that Bella was a whiny brat who needs everyone to make her choices, but I read it because she said it was good. To me, it was the worst thing! No vampires frigging sparkle! Neither Strigoi nor Moroi do and they're full vampires. Where do people get these crazy ideas? I sighed and flipped open the book to the back where it had a sneak peak of an upcoming book, Ready or Not. It was really good for a preview. The scene was where the two characters were making out. Just as it was getting good, my book was out of my hands in an instance. I looked up and into devious brown eyes.
"Alek! Give me my book back!" I shouted at him.
"No," he smirked. I gave him a menacing glare. He paled a bit and then he ran. Oh yeah, you better run. I thought then took off after him.
"Alekandr!" I shouted. He wasn't hard to find because I saw him hiding behind mom but it was weird considering how tall he was. I stormed up to them but was stopped by mom.
"Whoa! Alex what's wrong?" she asked. I looked over her shoulders and saw that people were there. I captured familiar brown. It couldn't be him… could it? I broke the gaze with him as I shifted my languages. If he knew what I said, then it was definitely him.
"Он украл мою книгу от меня и в настоящее время получить хороший! Клянусь, Алек, если вы не отходит назад, я бы отрубить ваши шары!" I threatened him, not lying. The guy laughed so it definitely had to be him since no one else got it.
"Алекс, язык барышня." Mom scolded me. I groaned inwardly.
"Но мама ее-" I started to say but Alek ran off so I sprinted after him. I realized that he was running for the stage. He better not! I was right. He grabbed the microphone and started reading.
"He showered me with kisses and I just lov-" I ran straight into him, stopping him from continuing. I jumped him and pinned him down by sitting on him while having my hands wrapped around his throat. I didn't hold it too tight though as he still needed to breathe. I didn't care if people saw; all I wanted was my book.
"Алек сволочь! Вы знаете, как я люблю книги!" I exclaimed.
"Отстань от меня!" He said but it came out more in a gasp. I didn't even realize that someone was here since I was so caught up in getting back my book.
Вы получите два лучше друг друга прямо сейчас или, клянусь богом, вы будете опираться до вашего 67!" I heard mom threaten. Did she say 67? I looked at Alek then her. I got up off him and helped him up.
"К сожалению мама." We said together, giving her our sad face. She pinched the bridge of her nose. She had given in.
"Alright! Go and sing! Just no more fooling around, you have the entire crowd waiting for you!" she told us in a strict mother way. We nodded and both hugged her. She then left to go back to the seats. I glared at Alek.
"Can I have my book back now?" I asked. He chucked the book at me and I caught it in mid-air.
"You're welcome." He said.
"No thank you." I told him and he rolled his eyes. I grabbed the mike as I threw the book on the seat in the dressing room. I walked back on stage and spoke.
"Sorry about that, guys we tend to… forget about stuff." I told them. Alek then grabbed the mike from me.
"Wow, you just dropped the mood," he said lowering his voice, causing everyone to laugh.
"Whatever rock star," I said as the music started.

"He's a dick," I said into the mike which people ended up laughing at and caused Alek to glare at me.

The crowd immediately erupted into another round of yells, whistles and cheers. The music ended and we did a quick bow.
"Thank you all so much!" I cheered.
"We'll be back sometime soon to perform more!" Alek said. I rolled my eyes.
"We love you guys!" I concluded before walking off the stage. We sat in the dressing room, downing water like no tomorrow.
"So have you guys decided when again you want to perform?" I asked them.
"Well… um… we were wondering if we could like go on a little vacation for a bit." Danny sheepishly said. I looked at Alek. We didn't mind.
"Sure but we have to perform once more before our vacation!" Alek said. They all nodded. I grabbed Alek's arm, pulling him aside, away from the others.
"Have you seen mom?" I asked him, my voice low. He shook his head, no.
"Let's go find her… she's normally here when we come off…" I stated worriedly.
"You're right, let's go." Alek said. We walked over to where we had seen her last, front row with a bunch of unknown people and dad. I saw two teenagers, about our age; look at us with wide eyes. We looked at each other and our expression said it all. Fans. We walked over to them, me going by the guy while Alek went towards the girl. I noticed that the boy had icy blue eyes rimmed with green. They were stunningly beautiful. He had black hair, of which some came across his eye, covering it. He had that bad boy vibe to him and it turned me on. I noticed that he was Moroi but damn he had a great body. He wore a tight fitting top which showed off his abs. Absolutely gorgeous. I thought silently. I dragged my eyes back up to his face, well more like his lips. They were just there, looking all soft and pink, that it tempted me into kissing him.
"See something you like?" he smirked. Embarrassed that I had been caught staring, I turned my gaze away from him.
"Uh… um do you know where our mom is?" I asked, still a bit dazed by how hot he looked. Ugh great! Now I'm going all mushy because of this one guy.
"No, sorry." He said.
"Thanks." I told him, still not looking.
"I'm Blake." He introduced, holding his hand out. I finally looked at him in his eyes. I could just drown in them. I stuck my hand out and went to shake it.
"Alexis." I introduced but I was positive he knew that already. As soon as our hands touched, something passed through me, making me shiver. We both pulled our hands back. I looked away again to hide my now forming blush. An awkward silence grew before he broke it.
"Oh yeah, this is Amy, my twin." He said, pointing to her. I noticed that Alek and she were engrossed in talking. Her eyes were a blue green color with blond hair that ended at her back. I looked over to where dad was, but I didn't think he knew he was our father, and did a double look. The person next to him, a lady with blond hair and green eyes, was staring into space. Alek saw to and the two of us walked over, as well as Amy and Blake.
"Hey, what's wrong with that person?" I asked him, pointing to the lady.
"Uh, I don't know," he said but it obviously was a lie. Then, a lady with black hair walked over to the lady. I caught a glimpse of her features. She had piercing blue eyes and a scar running down her face. She was beautiful in her own way. I looked over to Blake.
"Is that your mom?" I asked, referring to the lady. He shook his head.
"No, that's our Great Aunt Natasha. Our mom is the other person." He said her name with so much venom that I couldn't help but be curious.
"You don't like her?" I asked.
"No I do." He said.
"Well then, you have a weird way of showing it." I told him. He gave me a lazy grin. I was too busy talking to Blake here that I didn't realize the tension in the room. I looked around and saw Blake's mom near to my mom. I looked at dad. His gaze was on mom. He had a lot of emotions playing on his face; lust, longing, regret but most of all, love. Realization hit me hard. These were the people from her past. That's where I got my name from. Vasilissa. I had to be sure.
"By any chance, is your mom's name Vasilissa?" I asked Blake. He nodded.
"Mom?" Alek called. She gave a weak smile. It noticed that she was crying. Her eyes were puffy and her cheeks were stained with tears.
"Guys, go pack. Now. We're going to leave. Wait for me behind stage." She told us sounding fierce but we knew inside, that she was dying. We hesitated before going. We walked back silently towards the dressing room. A heavy silence grew before I broke the silence.
"So, that's them…" I trailed off.
"Yup… damn bastards." He said, now angry, closing his hands in fists.
"Calm down Mase," I told him. I only called him Mase or Mason when he was angry. Somehow, it calmed him down. He doesn't know why either. Slowly, I saw his hands release, telling me that he was now calm.
"Did you see dad?" I asked him.
"Dad? Dad was there?" he asked. I nodded.
"You didn't see him? It was so obvious." I said to him. He gave me a blank look. I rolled my eyes.
"The tall, Russian dude." I said.
"How do you know he's Russian?" he asked curiously.
"I spoke and he laughed." I stated simply.
"Where do you think you got your height from?" I joked. He laughed lightly.
"I hate him." He spat. You could hear the hate in his voice. I sighed.
"Alek, give him a chance. There has to be a reason. He won't just leave. Besides, did you see the look he gave when he saw mom?" I asked. He nodded.
"Exactly." I said. When mom hadn't come back yet, I began to get worried. I turned to Alek.
"Do you feel that?" I asked him, fear in my words.
"I do." He said. I felt as if something bad was going to happen. Most of the times, Alek feels it at the same time. All of a sudden, Alek groans and clutches his head. I'm beside him in an instant. His eyes are suddenly glazed over and that could only mean one thing… he was having a vision. Alek's visions were true most of the time. In his vision, he is able to see in the near future, but sometimes, it changes. It was one of the powers that he obtained from birth. We both got these weird abilities that are very unusual. We think it's mostly because we were the first pair of Dhampir kids from Dhampir parents. After a moment, Alek's vision is finished and he looks worried.
"What is it?" I asked him.
"Mom, she's going to get hurt." He spoke, voice cracking.
"Do you know where she is?" I questioned. He nodded. We both ran out, in search of her. I noticed that Blake's aunt was yelling. We ran out, me following Alek since he knew where she was. We ran about a couple feet into the nearby forest. There we saw mom. She looked so broken, weak and vulnerable. Her head snapped up, alert, ready for any threats. I smiled inwardly. Mom was so brave and strong. She breathed out a sigh of relief. Probably thought it was someone else… or something.
"Guys, you scared me." She told us. I stared at her incredulously.
"We scared you? Mom, you scared the living hell out of us!" I exclaimed. She laughed… laughed…
"I'm sorry guys," she said. We both ran up to her and hugged her hard.
"It's alright mom, we know what happened." Alek told her softly.
"Well look at this? A happy family moment. How sweet!" I heard a cold voice say. That could only mean one thing… Strigoi…
Alek POV
Fear washed through me. My vision is coming through.
~Flashback of Vision~
A sudden pain hit me, going straight through my head. I groaned and grabbed my head. Another vision. I hated them but they were useful. I was standing, watching what was happening. Mom was fighting numerous strigoi. I wanted to help but I couldn't. I was like a ghost in visions. No one could see or hear me. I stared in shock as I saw the strigoi drink from mom.
~End of Vision~
That was all I saw. Mom looked ahead of us and her eye went wide.
"Nathan," she whispered. Mom stood in front of us protectively. They were talking but I blocked it out. I needed to find a way how to escape. If I didn't want the vision to come through, then I had to get help… but who? I sighed as I knew I had to ask him. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I was pulled roughly by someone. I shouted one word.
"MOM!" I saw that Alex too had been taken.
"No!" she screamed. I saw the fear in her eyes.
"Please don't hurt them! You don't want them, you want me! Just let them go please!" she begged him. I hated seeing mom so vulnerable and a strigoi is the one causing it.
"But if I let them go, they would run and tell others." The ugly dumb blonde said.
"Use compulsion on them," she said. I looked up at her, but she was looking at the strigoi. Compulsion… that was a great idea… for us… Ever since we've experienced an attack, a strigoi tried to use compulsion on us. It didn't work. After a few more encounters, we noticed that we were somehow immune to it but couldn't figure out how or why. Mom looked into my eyes, as well as Alex's, but at a different time, and tried to confirm what she wanted us to do.
"Very well, they really aren't much use to us." The strigoi said.
"Compel them both back." He commanded. Mom gave us one last looking saying that she would always love us, no matter what happens. The strigoi holding me stared into my eyes.
"You are to go back to the concert and forget you ever saw us." He said. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. I pretended to look dazed by his words. Without looking at Alex, I ran. Once we were inside Alex spoke my unspoken words.
"Damn fucktards think they can fuck with us. They are going to regret ever crossing us." She said with so much anger. All of a sudden, the flower vase nearby was in ashes. I walked in front of Alex, knowing what was happening. Her eyes were black with fury.
"Vasya, calm down. You need to calm down or something you regret will happen." I told her, using her Russian middle name. It was the same for me as for her to calm her down. Calling by the middle name, somehow soothed us… which was weird. She visibly relaxed as her eyes returned to their normal color.
"Come on, we don't have much time." I told her, grabbing her arm. We ran past the on going fight into the dressing room. We grabbed the hidden stakes that mom always kept stored away. As we ran off again, in the direction of mom, I remembered to bring help. I changed my way and ran towards dad. Alex followed.
"Dad!" I said. Shock was displayed on his face.
"Yeah I know you are my dad, but that's not important, what is, is that mom ne-" I began but was cut off when Alex pulled me away.
"What are you doing?" she whispered, but yelled.
"We need to bring people we trust to help!" I said.
"How do we know we can trust them?" she asked.
"We don't! Weren't you the one saying to give him a chance?" I argued. She realized I was right and I turned back to dad.
"You need to come quick, all of you actually." I told them, now capturing everyone's attention.
"Mom needs our help, badly. She's fighting a lot of them alone, and she won't last long. So are you guys coming or not?" Alex finished for me. Everyone agreed but Amy's great aunt.
"Please, she's just another Dhampir," she scoffed. Anger flashed through my eyes. In a blink of an eye, Alex slapped her across her face, her anger getting the best of her. Luckily, it didn't get too out of hand.
"BITCH!" the lady screamed. Alex walked right up to her face.
"She may just be another Dhampir to you, but to us she's family and don't you forget that she would put her life out to save you." She said in a deadly voice. She then turn and ran.
"This way! Quick!" she yelled. I ran, not waiting to see who was following or not. We stopped a couple feet away from the fight.
"Okay, we need a quick plan to protect the Moroi's." Alex said. A plan popped in my head.
"Who here's a fire user?" I asked.
"I am," Amy's dad said. I should've known.
"Okay good. Do you think you can create a fire ring around the five of you guys?" I asked him.
"Yes." He nodded. I gave a nod back in respect.
"Good, so dad we're going to have to be very careful." I told him. Like he didn't already know that. I handed him a stake but he barely acknowledged it. I looked forward at the fight, fear running through me as I thought what could happen to mom. I noticed that dad was getting angry, really fast. He was about to get up when Alex and I pulled him back down.
"No dad!" I whispered furiously.
"Look at what they're doing to her!" he whispered back. Mom was being held up by the blond strigoi. Damn it! The vision is happening! Before I could react, dad had stepped out, now facing the strigoi and mom.
"Step. Away. From. Her. Right. Now." Even I flinched at how cold his voice was. Mom then let out a harsh scream. The strigoi was drinking from her. As soon as dad took a step forward, a strigoi jumped him. I watched in amazement as he gracefully staked the strigoi in one swift motion. I looked towards Alex. Anger and awe were in her eyes. We both stepped out. All of a sudden, mom was being thrown on the floor, roughly. I had to keep my emotions in check before they got the best of me. Apparently, Alex wasn't able to.
"You, bitch! You're going to pay for doing that to out mom!" she yelled. Alex was furious. I could tell because with a flick of her wrist, the strigoi who drank from mom was dead on the floor in a pile of ashes.
"Roza!" dad yelled.
"Dad, don't worry. She'll be alright." I assured him, sounding calm but inside I was scared shitless.
"So you two are the special ones." The blond observed. I looked at him confused… we were special.
"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 in his balls. He groaned and grabbed them. I had to bite down my now forming laugh.
"Not so little anymore, am I?" she taunted. Oh Alex, you will never change…
"Hulle aanval" he gasped out in pain. I got into guardian mode, well semi guardian mode since I wasn't really a guardian but Alex and I practiced with mom all the time. Five attacked me. I gripped the stake in my hand. The first strigoi encircled me. He was a skilled one, obviously a guardian before. He threw a punch to my jaw which I was unable to block. I tasted blood in my mouth. I spat it out on the side. I dropped my stake on the floor. Waste of time. The strigoi's laughed at me.
"Giving up so soon?" he taunted. I closed my eyes for a brief second. In that second, I allowed everything flow into me from the last 16 years. Anger, pain, hurt… everything I was feeling. I opened my eyes, locking it with the strigoi's. Without any warning, like I was going to give any, water shot out from my hand and landed on the strigoi. I used both my hands, trying to drown him. The rest were shocked at what was happening. In my peripheral view, I saw one running towards me, trying to surprise me. Moving one hand, I used fire on him. The fire engulfed his head as he screamed in pain. I laughed darkly. This wasn't me right now. It was the darkness taking over. Once that strigoi was in a pile of ashes, the rest regained conscience of what was happening, and attacked me all at once. I stopped using the water on the strigoi as they jumped me. I used my full force of air to block them. I laughed menacingly.
"You can't defeat me." I said darkly. I used the element, Earth, to shake the ground, just where my strigoi were. They were taken by surprise and fell to the floor. I burned two easily as the darkness was still in me. I looked at the other one in the eyes. I saw a bit of fear flash through them. I jumped him, throwing a punch to his face. He staggered backwards. I laughed as I used my water to drown him. He tried to wiggle free but couldn't. I stopped and took his head in my hands. In one swift motion, I decapitated his neck. I smiled evilly.
"You are a disgrace to all vampires."(Lol guess where I got that from) I said. I got back up and looked into yet another pair of red eyes. I walked up to him. He seemed frozen in place, unusual for a strigoi. He started screaming, or well tried to seeing as I was choking him with air.
"Do you feel the pain that I have gone through? The pain that you sick bastards caused! " I spat at him. Still using air, I picked up the stake and walked over to him. I slowly started dragging the stake across his face, digging it in deep. I stopped with the air. He screamed.
"Don't worry… it won't hurt for long." I told him as I slid the stake down towards his neck and plunge it in. I kept putting it in and in, twisting the cold metal. I threw his body to the floor. I felt a hand on my shoulder. Angrily, I turned but soon stopped when I saw who it was. Alex. She brought her hand to my forehead and I felt a hot then cold sensation run through my body. She was healing me. Slowly, I felt the darkness escape me. I sighed in exhaustion. All that magic really took a lot of me. I gave her a smile.
"Thanks," I croaked out. She nodded and smiled. Immediately remembering mom, we both rushed towards her side, along with dad.
"Roza! Roza! Roza please!" Dad pleaded. He sounded so broken. Amy and the rest of the family came once it was safe. Dad ripped his shirt and wrapped mom's neck.
"Nathan got away." Alex told him. He looked at her.
"No," he whispered.
"Rose!" Someone yelled. My head snapped up and saw Amy's mom running towards us. She looked like a crazy mad lady. She knelt down next to Rose and started healing her. I would've done it but after using that much magic before, I was worn out. I sort of blocked them out for a minute. Why did I let the darkness get the best of me? I had to learn more self control.
"Dad, your face! It's bleeding!" Alex exclaimed, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked at dad and sure enough, it was bleeding.
"It's okay." He said then stood. He opened his phone and started calling someone.
"Alek, you okay?" Alex asked concerned. I nodded.
"Just tired." I told her. She then stood and went by dad. She placed her hand on his face and healed the bruise.
"Alright, you all go back inside and get in the van. I'll wait here for the Alchemist." Dad said. I was too tired to argue back so instead I stayed quiet.
"I'll stay with you." Someone said. Dad looked uncomfortable but after a moment, he agreed.
"Alright. The rest of you go." He told us. We nodded. Realizing that I was too worn out to move, Alex helped me up. I shot her a grateful look and she returned it with a smile. Alex and I followed Amy and her family to where the van was. The van was huge so all of us easily fit in it. Amy's dad sat in the driver's seat while Amy sat in the passenger's seat. I took a seat wherever I could've gotten one. I ended up sitting in the back with Alex and Amy's brother. Their mom sat in the front.
"Sleep Alek, I'll wake you up when we're there." Alex told me. I nodded and laid my head at the back of the seat. My eyes were slowly drooping down before I finally allowed sleep to take me over.
Alexis POV
I watched as Alek fell asleep.
"So you're a Dhampir right?" Blake asked, starting a conversation. I nodded.
"Then how…?" he trailed off.
"Somehow since mom was able to have children with another Dhampir, it seemed that some traits from the Moroi, which is you, Aunt Vasilissa," I looked at her. She wasn't really my aunt, obviously, but it was a sign of respect. "And so Alek and I got some of those traits but I think that we got way more than we needed. Alek also got one more than me but we believe that the reason could simply be that we were the first to ever be born off Dhampirs." I explained to them.
"But I still don't get how you guys have elements." Blake said. I looked at him and again something passed through us, but I ignored it.
"Like I said before, our mom's DNA was probably messed up a bit after being brought back which caused some of Aunt Lissa's DNA to enter my mom's body, therefore probably giving her DNA some sort of addition." I explained again. He nodded.
"What elements can you guys control?" Blake's dad asked.
"All but we can control compulsion the best. For the other elements, they work amazing but takes a toll on us if we use too much as the darkness get to us quicker but we heal it off eachother." I stated. Their eyes widened but before anyone could speak, dad appeared. I started talking to Blake.
"So what do specialize in?" I asked him.
"Fire," he said. I smiled.
"Awesome!" I told him. All of a sudden, my head flew back from how fast we took off. I ended up bumping into Blake.
"Christian!" Aunt Lissa scolded. I noticed that dad wasn't in the van.
"Wait, where's dad?" I asked alarmed. Christian looked at me from the review mirror.
"He said to leave… another strigoi was there." He told me. I looked back and sure enough I caught a glimpse of dad. I looked over at Alek and he was sound asleep, with Amy's head on his shoulder. We made it at the hospital in no time. I woke Alek and Amy.
"Guys, we're here." I told them. We ran into the hospital, Uncle Christian holding mom. I was about to go ask for a doctor when I heard a very familiar voice. I turned and saw Alberta there.
"Come on guys, this way. We've already set up everything." She said, motioning us to follow her. I walked up to her and gave her a hug. She hugged back and we walked. In a flash, the doctors had Rose on the bed and giving her blood.
"Guardian Petrov, would you kindly escort them out until further notice," one of the doctors asked. She nodded and we all walked back again to the seats. I sighed and placed my head in my hands. I hoped mom was alright. I must have dozed off because the next thing I know, I was being shaken away. I saw Alek's smiling face. That was a good sign.
"Is mom okay?" I asked. He nodded and smiled. I jumped up and hugged him. Soon, everyone left us to have our moment alone. As soon as they were out of sight, my tears started falling. Noticing that I was crying, something I rarely did, Alek brought me back to the seats. He placed an arm around me as I cried silently into his arms. He held me there for a good few minutes. I sniffed and wiped my tears.
"I'm sorry," I told him and looked into his eyes. They were also puffy and he was crying. I gently took my fingers and wiped his tears away. Alek never showed his emotions. He normally hid it well. He gave me a small smile as he wiped away mine as well. I smiled back and stood, holding out my hand to him. He took it and got up. I hugged him one last time.
"I'm glad you're okay." He whispered to me.
"I don't know what I would do if I lost you," I whispered back. We pulled away from the hug and walked towards mom's room. In there I saw the most horrifying sight. Mom was hooked up to various wires and had a drip. The only thing that gave me hope was the monitor that she was hooked up to. Everyone was just staring at Rose. I leaned on Alek and he rested his head on mine. The silence grew heavier by the second. It was disturbed when dad burst through the door.
"Is she okay?" he asked, concern lacing his words. I blocked them out for a minute or two. I couldn't believe that I had almost lost the two most important people in my life. I didn't know what I would honestly do without them.
"I have some bad news." Dad spoke. That shot me out of my thoughts. I listened to him.
"What can be worse than this?" Alberta asked. Dad walked up to Uncle Christian.
"I'm so sorry Chris. Tasha turned strigoi." He said sadly. I stood there in shock… she turned… willingly… Strigoi? Uncle Christian looked pale…er… if that was even possible. The doctor came in with an extra bed, 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 dad caught him.
"Oh no!" Lissa exclaimed. The doctor came in and helped place Christian on the bed. She explained that he fainted of shock but was going to be okay. We were then ushered out while she helped dad. Aunt Lissa started crying. I walked up to her.
"Why are you crying Aunt Lissa?" I asked her gently. She looked up at me, her eyes red from crying.
"Because I'm a horrible friend!" she cried.
"You're not a horrible friend. You healed her didn't you?" I asked. She nodded slightly.
"Y—yeah but I lef—t Rose when s—she needed me m—most." She sobbed.
"It's alright. I'm sure she already forgave you." I assured her. Just then the doctor came back out and told us we could come back in. She wiped her tears as we walked in. I looked at dad. His torso was wrapped where he had broken his rib.
"Oh my Dimitri!" Lissa exclaimed, suddenly feeling better. Dad chuckled.
"I'm fine Lissa." He told her.
"Guys, go home and stay in there. Lock all the doors and don't come out. Get some rest. You all look horrible." He said which made us laugh slightly. I walked over to dad and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"See you tomorrow dad," Alek said as we walked out together. Aunt Lissa checked with the nurse and we left. I noticed that it was nearly dark out. Damn, it's been such a long day… I'm exhausted. I spoke too soon because as soon as we were a few feet away from the van, Natasha jumped us. Already on high alert, I took stance in front of Aunt Lissa while Alek stood at the back, looking for anymore threats.
"Hello children," she sneered, baring her fangs. Oh dear God! Can't this damned bitch leave us alone for just once? This was going to be one hell of a night. Fuck!
Special A.N - MUST read!
Was it good? Bad?
Wow! Tasha again. That bitch will never die will she? Now the questions come in. Will they make it out alive? Would Tasha do something that she regrets? (Doubt that) Will Dimitri be able to save them from Tasha? What will happen to Rose? Is something going to happen with Sydney and Adrian? Where are they? Are they okay? So many questions and I have no idea how to answer them... we all have to wait to see what will happen.
Also I would like to thank all for the ideas! It really got me thinking. For the amnesia, I doubt I'll do that. Shout out to all who reviewed! Hope you all liked this chapter! Please if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I'll gladly answer them. Also, if you don't like this story, please do not send any hate reviews. Thank You!
Also the first reviewer who guesses where the line 'You are a disgrace to all vampires' is from, will get a special sneak peak. Okay here's a hint It's from an Anime/Magma show! Only one person will get the sneak peak. Even though you have the correct answer as well, that person said it first. In order to receive the sneak peak, you must have an account. If you don't and you get it correct, well the next person with an account who guessed it correctly, gets the preview. If no one gets it well I'll tell you all but that means no sneak peak, but I won't be that cruel. If no one gets it by Thursday, the first 5 reviewers will receive the preview! So after Thursday, the deal's off! =)
I don't know if you guys read this at all but do you think I can get up to 70 reviews?... no that's too much... how about 65? Yeah, 65 reviews please and I just might update sooner! More if you like, I don't mind, it make me happy :)
Love you all and thanks much!
