Ricky's POV

No, this couldn't happen. Damon was my best friend and a royal moroi. Oh my god , I have to get out of here before they think it's me who killed him , I wouldn't put it past my brothers to frame me for murder . I hated to leave Damon like this but if I wanted to stay out of jail I had to go, like now.

With one last glance at Damon's lifeless body I ran my hand over his eyes to close them and shoved the note in my pocket. Walking right past Violet, who had a look of concern and grief all over her face, I ran out the door and hopped on my motorcycle.

Once I got back to the Academy I went straight to my room, only to find a now sober Violet leaning against my door frame. I groaned, I just couldn't deal with her right now. I had too many problems already, without her. "Just go away Violet "I said as I shoved past her and stormed in my room, plopping down on the bed.

She just followed me, which I knew she would but was hoping I would get lucky and she would get the hint. She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall saying "You know something and you're going to tell me what it is."

She was too smart, it's like no matter what I try to hide she figures it out in the blink of an eye, but I couldn't tell her. Knowing Violet she would try to help and get herself killed in the process, so with a fake air of nonchalance I said "I don't know what you're talking about"

Her face turned the color of a tomato, as if you could see the anger smoke coming out of her ears. Before I could tell what happened my arm was on fire, but instead of taking it off quick enough where it won't burn, she left it there, watching my skin char. The pain in my arm was indescribable but I couldn't feel it as I was captivated by the sight before me.

Fire lit up Violets whole body, covering her in a halo of flames. They weren't quite touching her skin whereas to burn her though. She looked beautiful in a fierce and powerful way, like she could control the world just with one glance. "DON'T LIE TO ME!" she screamed at me at the top of her lungs. I'm surprised the whole building didn't come rushing in scared someone else died.

Seeming to remember what she was doing her face fell with guilt and the halo disappeared as did the flame burning my arm. "Oh my god Ricky I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Stay here, I'm going to go get a first aid kit." Violet ran out of the room and that's when I was broken out of my trance and the pain set in. I bit my lip to keep from crying out in pain.

She came back with tears in her eyes and forces me to sit down. "Okay this is going to hurt."

Well she was right, as soon as the cream came in contact with my skin I hissed from the burn. I jerked away but she just chuckled and pulled me back. Once she had me all bandaged up she leaned in and whispered in my ear.

"Its okay if you don't tell me. I understand, but just know you can trust me."It took me a minute to take in what she said but by the time I turned around she was asleep. She looked amazing when she was sleeping, her brown hair avid out behind her, making her look magical. Her sweet eyes closed and beautiful lips closed in a slight pout. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

I lay down behind her, loving the smell of her luscious brown hair. That's when I saw Christian suddenly kneeling down next to her. Brushing a hair back from her face. I jumped up looking for my stake but before I knew it I looked over and Christian had Violet cradled in his arms and my stake pointed towards her heart. Stakes might kill Strigoi but a stake through anyone's heart was bound to kill them.

I froze them, she couldn't die. No, I wouldn't let them hurt her. No one else was going to die because of me. "Move and she dies." Christian's dark and evil voice cackled.

"Put her down. She has nothing to do with this. "I growled.

"Oh that's where your wrong brother. She has everything to do with this. You care about her, wither you will admit it or not. She's beautiful as a Moroi. Imagine what she will look like when I turn her strigoi." He said with dark humor.

No, Violet would rather be dead than be one of them, that's one of the things we have in common. Didn't doubt my brothers though. They would go to any length to get what they want and I know that from personal experience.

"If you want to see her while her heart is beating then you will find us and willingly turn Strigoi. Until then, goodbye brother. "With Strigoi speed he jumped out the window and was gone. I lunged after him but to no avail. He was to fast.

But I will find her, no matter what, before her heart stops beating.

A/N: So what did you think? I worked harder on this chapter than any other so expect lots of reviews. So I'm not updating until I get reviews from 10 different people. SO REVIEW.
