Rose's POV

The door flew wide open. Revealing the tortured warriors, Cezar's face was shocked to see me and relief came once he was me alive and still standing.

"Thank God you're alive!" he said, looking encouraged.

"Cup Cake, free us from the ropes, please." Marcus exclaimed.

"I told you I've been in this situation before. It'll take more than this to kill me." I said.

My vision swam and I leaned forward, if I hadn't held myself against the wall for support I would have fallen unconscious. Gasping for air slowly, the agony from the back of my head and the side of my face dulled to a throbbing ache, as I breathed through the dizziness. It helped, but not much.

When I finally managed to get enough air in my lungs to walk forward and forget about the pain, I walked straight to Vincent first. He was our only hope to get out of here, I was only an option. A lots cause with the beating I took it was a miracle I was still alive and kicking.

"Vincent, please wake up. Open your eyes." I hold his head up and softly brushed his hair out his eyes. His eyes flutter open as he wakes up, somewhat half conscious and a faint smile. "Vincent, you need to drink my blood. I know I'm asking too much of you, but you have to in order to get out of here alive. With your power you can do it, so you have to drink my blood. I'm not going to last much longer, so it's up to you to save your friends." I whispered softly, for only him to hear.

"Anna. What are you doing?" Cezar asked. "What did you say to him?"

"Vincent, just do it. Quickly before more come, and it'll be the end of us all." I look straight into his eyes. He knew there was no other way out. Only he was the deliverance of our escape.

He softly nodded. His lips parted, showing his white fangs. I got closer to him until our bodies were touching almost in an intimate way for the inviting throat.

My blood pumped strongly, pulsing through my jugular just beneath his lips. His fangs strained to their full length and the hunger growled through his body like an instinctive beast. My breath became quicker-arousing-my heart beat faster- and weaker. I wrapped my arms around him, holding onto to him with the little strength I had. It was always like this, when a Moroi drank my blood. But I had to hold on until what little dignity I had and try not to show any emotion that might imply that I liked being betting. Vincent drank desperately and savagely. Both of us were in an absolutely distracted from everything, we were only enjoying the present without any worries. I know it was wrong, but it felt so right! I couldn't help myself in felling blissful, free, and drugged.

There was a soft echo, I couldn't hear it very well but there was something making a lot of noise. Then there were more and it got louder. It was actually ruining the mood, I wanted to hit it.

"ANNA!"

'Anna?' who was Anna? Oh, yes. I was Anna! I called myself Anna. But the voice only said Anna.

"Anna! Get away from Vincent!" it scream loudly.

Once I regain my consciousness I got away from Vincent fast. Taking a few steps back and feeling confuse I looked around me. Automatically I saw Cezar and Marcus angry eyes, a hiss came from Vincent wanting more blood and looking hungrily at me. Not trying to show my weak state, I walked right in front of Marcus and cut the ropes with my sword followed by Cezar. After all the blood loss the katana seemed to weight more that I remembered.

"What the hell were you thinking!" He took a tight hold on me once he was free. Anger showed in his eyes. I couldn't hold him much longer; my knees gave and went to the ground with him nearly crushing me to death with his weight.

"Cezar! Let her go she's hurt and weak, there's a reason why she did this. You know it, she knows it too." He said going over to help Vincent with the ropes. "Help me get Vincent in control, and then we'll deal with a plan to get out of here."

Cezar went over and help his friend. The warriors seemed to know how to handle things here with Vincent. And I knew that I'll only be slowing them down if I stayed with them. Slowly I rose to my feet and went over to watch the door.

"Vincent, are you alright?" both warriors helping their friend.

"Is she crazy? I've could kill her!" he was all better now, he regained almost all of his strength back. If he drinks a little from the other two, we can get out of here for sure.

"Drink from your friends."I told him looking over my shoulder. "It wasn't enough what I could give you but they are stronger than me, either way they were going to do it regardless their physical state. Am I right?" I said, keeping my expression casual.

The look Cezar gave me was cold, his eyes burned with fire and anger, almost searing me where I stood. He straightened and took his right hand out in front of Vincent, turning it so that he could drink from the wrist.

"I hate this! Why did I have to be a spirit user Moroi?"

"Why not being a spirit user Moroi? I've seen what they can do, and it comes in handy in all situations. The same goes with us Dhampir, we're useless sometimes but we do what we can to help each other. The same goes for me; why did it have to be me? Why didn't I do anything to prevent this? So I decided to help you, if I get to die here at least I won't die with a sad conscious." Knowing that they would be glaring at me because I wasn't helping, I never turned around a look at them in the eye. So instead I kept looking ahead guarding the door to any danger.

"Come on drink." Cezar insisted.

"No, she gave me more than what I needed it. I just couldn't stop…"

Cezar looked ready to say something but clamped his mouth shut.

"This is my plan." I said. "Vincent use your power, and let us known how many of them are left. You do that and mind lock with the one in charge. Lead him and the others away from the exit, and takes us there. Cezar and I will look out for you. And you, Marcus will help Vincent. Try not to mind lock with every Strigoi we find in the way, it'll take too much energy for you to handle. Soon they will know we escaped and they'll be watching us. That's why we must make this fast, before they get us surrounded and kill us. "

For a long moment silence held, and then everyone spoke at once. I said nothing, looking into Cezar's eyes and knew I had won.

"I'll go ahead of you and clean up the way for any obstacles." I said, heading out the few weapons I hidden with me. Cezar took the silver Stake and a knife. Marcus took the other Stake to protect Vincent and I stayed with my Katana.

"Is better if I go ahead instead." said, Cezar. Walking up to me and taking the lead.

"I know that, but you don't know when they will be in the way. It's better if Vincent concentrates in getting us out and we do the killing. You kill when I tell you to." I headed out of the door.

"Do you know when they are near? How can you possibly know that?" He asked, skeptically.

'Because, I am shadowkiss.' I wanted to say.

"I've found the exit. It's a long way up; I don't know if we have time to get out. Day break it's coming soon and they are waiting for more to come. We only have five minutes, till sunrise."

No more was said, and we took off running for freedom.
