Strigoi don't go 90mph
Abe's POV
"Now, I know that you couldn't have done all that by yourself." I said to Viktor. "So tell me and we won't hurt you before we turn you into the guardians."
"I was going to tell you anyway. No need for threats." He smirked. "If you head east for about 6 miles, you will find the compound I kept them in." He paused. "And the body of my coworker, Tasha Ozera." The entire car gasped. "Tasha Ozera, who your charming daughter threw against a wall and killed." Another round of gasps.
"Oh my." One of my guardians said.
Rose's POV
The helicopter landed just before the cars got to us. I peered in the helicopter windows and saw Lissa and my mother. I smiled. I turned and laced my fingers through Dimitri's. "I am so happy." My stomach growled. "And hungry."
Dimitri laughed and pulled me into him for a hug. "You will never change."
"Thank god." I smiled up at him. We heard the helicopter turn off and turned to see Lissa and my mother jump out. Lissa slowed and started to walk, but my mother kept running full speed straight towards me. Crap. My eyes widened in realization as to what she was going to do. I tried to hold myself, but it was too late. My mother jumped at me and we both toppled over in to the sand.
"I was so worried about you!" She yelled. Wow. I wasn't expecting this from Guardian Janine Hathaway at all. A moment later, I heard the cars pull up and footsteps running toward us. Abe lifted my mother off of me and pulled me into a hug.
"Kiz, are you okay?"
"Yah, I'm fine, Old Man." He chuckled.
"I'm not that old."
"You're older than me so that means your old."
"Dimitri's older than you."
"That's different. He is still a child at heart."
"Well that doesn't make me feel any better about you and him."
I laughed. "We can all still be children sometimes, can't we?"
"I guess you right, Kiz." He stepped away from me and smiled. Lissa ran up and hugged me, but this time I stood my ground as she squeezed me tight.
"Oh Rose! This is the second time that Viktor has tried to hurt us! I'm glad that you didn't get hurt this time."
"This time?" Abe asked.
"Yah, Old Man, haven't you been keeping tabs on me?" I asked him.
"Well, yes but I never heard of this."
"It was everywhere, though." I told him. "He kidnapped Lissa and we saved her." I waved between Dimitri and I. "His PSI hounds almost killed Christian. And me, for that matter."
"I heard about the kidnapping but I didn't know you were involved."
"Well, now you do."
"Well, we better get Viktor back to prison. I will send some guardians with him." We nodded. And then my stomach growled.
"Did any of you bring any snacks?" I asked looking around. Everyone shook their heads. "Losers." I stated and walked over to one of the Suv's. I jumped into the driver's seat and motioned Dimitri over. He climbed into the passenger's seat, and Liss got back into the helicopter with my mother. I rolled down the window to talk to Abe. "Hey Old Man!" He looked at me. "I bet you I can beat you back home."
"It's on Rose!" He got in the driver's side of one of the other Suv's and pulled up beside me. We both screamed go and I realized I had no idea where we were. Crap. I just stayed next to Abe the entire time and when I could see Baia, I sped up. He sped up with me, but I beat him to the front of Olena's house first.
"I am never going to let you drive again." Dimitri said looking at terrified.
"Comrade, you fight Strigoi. You can't be afraid of a car."
"To different things, Roza. Strigoi don't' go 90 mph." He told me. I laughed. "Why did you come here and not our house?"
"Because I can't cook, and you are too tired to, and Olena with make us a feast." I said as I opened the door.
"Did you only marry me for the wonderful food my family makes?" He asked while we walked up to the front door.
"Hmmm…Maybe." I said. And knocked. Olena flung the door opened and launched herself at Dimitri. They toppled to the ground this time. I just stood there laughing. "I am glad it's not only-" I was cut off by Viktoria jumping on me and pushing me to the ground. "Why, cruel world?" I said while Viktoria hugged me. It was Dimitri's turn to laugh now.
We all went inside and my stomach growled. "How long has it been since you two have eaten?" Olena asked.
"Two days now, I pretty sure." I said. She gasped and ushered us into the kitchen. She sat us down and started cooking. Every time Dimitri and I started to get up to help, she would push us back down in our chairs. About 45 minutes later, we had a table full of food in front of us. I looked at it and my mouth started to water. "oh thank heaven for 7-11."
"See! I'm not the only one who had seen that commercial!" Lissa yelled as she walked into the kitchen. Before anyone answered, I shoved my mouth full of food. I didn't even bother to savor it. I just ate. Dimitri slowly started eating and I was done long before him. "Ugh…" I groaned. "That was so good, Olena. Thank you!" She just stared at me.
"I have never seen anyone eat that much in my life." She said astonished.
"Well, you get to see it on a regular basis now that she is married to your son." Christian said as he walked in with Adrian, Sarah, and Eddie.
"Shut up, Christian." I said and patted my stomach.
But he kept going. "Dimitri, if you don't start eating faster, then you will be starving because Rose will eat it all your food."
I sighed and got up to stretch. "Well, thank you Olena, for that wonderful food, and I am very tired after spending two days in the desert." I started to walk towards the door. "Oh, and Abe?"
"Yes, Rose?"
"Have you found the compound? And Tasha? I threw her against the wall pretty hard."
He looked at me with sad eyes. "Yes, Rose we did find her body."
"Body?" I gulped. This could not be happening. I looked over to Christian who looked astonished. "She's not…" Abe nodded. "Oh god, Christian. I-"
"It's okay, Rose. You did what you had to do." I could see that he was really sad but he also was considering that Tasha had kidnapped Dimitri and I.
"I really am sorry Christian." I said and walked out to the Suv. I couldn't drive so I let Dimitri. Half way there, I started to cry. Dimitri didn't talk. When we stopped in front of our house, he turned the car off, got out, came over to me and picked me up. He carried me upstairs and into bed. He just let me cry and didn't try and comfort me. He knew what I was going through. "What have I done?" I asked when I was out of tears.
"What you had too." And with that, I fell asleep in his arms.
Sorry this chapter is shit but I hope you like it And whoo! Tasha's dead! I never liked her. From the very beginning when they first met at the cabin, I didn't. So I am glad I got to kill her off. Dress rehearsal for the play is tomorrow and then I will have a lot more free time on my hands so I will be able to update faster
