Thank you for the reviews. It makes me smile for the rest of the day.
So I want to dedicate this next chappie to the reviewers.
My written may slow down since school is about to restart.
But I will write at any free moment and update once a week.
I'm gonna stop rambling so enjoy. x
Disclaimer: I don't own anything apart from Luke and my brain. :D
Hmmmmmm. I couldn't remember where I was.
But at this moment it didn't matter because I was having a good dream…which meant I was sleeping.
I was lying on the beach outside my holiday home in California-which really does exist outside of this dream.
The noise of the sea was calming and peaceful.
I was lying on my stripy coloured beach towel. I could feel my tanned skin becoming bronzer by the moment. I turned on to my back. So I could tan my front a little more.
I had a skimpy red bikini on- but nobody was around. The house had a private beach so I didn't have to care about strangers goggling and drooling at my physique.
I could almost feel the tingling of my tattoso in the sunlight. I had gotten more on my neck since leaving the academy.
My markings for 'The machine' were an x. Just a simple x.
I had a lot of them around 500 I think- I had lost count.
I also had 'True love, never fades' this phrase was intertwined within the thorns of a red rose I had designed.
This tattoo was situated on the right side of my stomach it was quite large in size.
I also had a love heart positioned exactly over my own heart. I know it sounds cheesy.
But It had writing in a foreign language in the middle- or maybe just a name.
I done it to remind myself of what I use to have. Why I did. No why I stilled loved him.
I felt my self being pulled away from the tranquillity of the beach.
I could feel a shaking motion.
I opened one eye peeking out and realised that Luke was shaking me.
Like a doll. I know I am a heavy sleeper but he was thrashing me about the place.
But why ?
Then he answered my thought. "Rose it's time to jump."
I closed my eyes groaning. Thinking how I would get him back later.
That was one aspect of the old Rose that I hadn't left behind.
My love of REVENGE.(I could feel a evil Muhhahahahaha ha ha haaa ha forming in the pit my stomach. But I stopped my self in time from realising my inner evilness.)
Instead I did a massive cat like stretch.
I opened both my eyes adjusting to the darkness of the cabin.
I could see Luke putting his parachuting/sky diving gear on.
I walked over to the giant.
And quickly wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug.
He out right laughed and turned round to give me one of his bear hugs.
He then passed me my gear. I quickly put it on. It was such a familiar occurrence that I could do it with my eyes closed.
But I didn't because they had just opened the hatch of the plane.
And well I hate to admit it but at this present moment in time I didn't want to fall out of the plane to my death.
Outside the Belikovs house because they would probably be looking out the window at that exact moment.
And come out and revive me and be like you owe me your life because I saved your ass.
Then I would probably have to just shoot myself with the spare bullet.
Well maybe not exactly. That is a bit of an exaggeration.
But they would drag me back to court definitely screaming and kicking. There would be a whole new meaning to that phrase.
Woah that was one big rant.
I look up slowly after my mental rant to see Luke staring at me.
Probably thinking "Crazy bitch". Too confirm this he actually says it in Greek.
Yes I speak Greek but this is not the time to list all the languages that I speak.
Which is a surprising thought as I have like a 20 minutes concentration span.
But sometimes it's more like 20 seconds.
I put my motorbike style helmet on and nod my head at the giant.
Luke takes this as the signal to jump. And disappears from view.
We always seem to have a race on the way down. Of course I win.
Because I drop out of the plane head first. So I fall faster. And as I am about to hit the ground I flip my body so my feet are first.
As soon as I was standing on the ground I could feel the nausea in my stomach.
I could see Luke slightly further up the path.
He was just watching, leaning against a tree out of surprise with his arms folded.
Obviously he thought I could handle 25 strigoi on my own.
Through my own heavy breathing and loud heart beat I could hear him laughing.
He thought this was funny because all the strigoi where located outside the Belikov's house.
Waiting for the Queen I guess.
I crept towards the strigoi after shedding my skydiving gear- without the parachute.
I didn't remove the helmet as it was protection, but mostly a mask.
I had staked 5 of the creatures in the backs before the other 20 had noticed.
That's when the fight really began.
They all started to come towards me.
I heard mumbles about me being their starting snack for today.
Of course I wouldn't let myself be any type of meal.
I didn't want to use my gun- because then that would alert the Belikov's and their guests that I was outside the house.
I was considering my options when one decided to lunge at me.
I brought out Darkness and shot him dead.
19 to go.
It went on like this for the next few minutes.
In that period of time I had shot 10.
I know it sounds impossible but Death had also been brought out by this point.
Two guns and me well that is unstoppable….until he who shall not be named made a guest appeareance.
He decided to come out the house shouting in …Russian.
And he has called my war cries in the past stupid.
If I wasn't surrounded by creatures who wanted to kill me. I would have marched over and punched him on that nose of his.
But if I dispatched them quickly I could still have that chance.
All I could keep thinking is what a fool he was.
And I swear to god. If he takes any of MY targets down I will shoot him with my spare f***ing bullet.
I didn't want to shoot him so while the strigoi were distracted with his shouting.
I shot 8.
But where was the last?
I felt his presence behind me but I was playing dumb to see what Belikov would do.
He started shouting like and idiot and running towards me.
What is with all the shouting?
I felt the air around me move and I knew that the strigoi had lunged.
I staked him. Without turning round
I was facing Dimitri.
I hadn't moved I just threw the stake like a javelin.
Stupid I know but the expression on his face was worth it.
It looked like he was going to have a heart attack and laugh at the same time.
But then his expression turned back into his guardian mask.
And he was standing in front of me just staring.
Did he have a death wish from me?
Standing this close in a challenging posture.
Well I give him one thing. He doesn't know it's me.
I looked quickly to my left Luke had disappeared. Where was he?
When I turned back Dimitri's face was right in mine. I flinched slightly because of the closeness.
He started shouting in Russian "Выдурак. Былипытаетсяполучить себеубит. Выпросто дайтечтостригоик вам. ВыВыповернулиназад наэто. Янемогу поверить, выпоставилиим, не глядя на него. Ктонаучилвасбылидиотом. Илияуверен, выдаже несталопекуном, вероятно, убежална охоту. Правильно я говорю?"
("Are you a stupid fool. Were you trying to get yourself killed? You just let that strigoi approach you. You You turned your back on it. I can't believe you staked him without looking at it. Whoever taught you was an idiot. Or I bet you didn't even become a guardian probably ran away to go hunting. Am I right?")
Oh how wrong he could be. He was the idiot that taught me.
Before I could say anything he started again.
"Чтотысделал, было..."
(What you did was...)
At this point I couldn't take anymore. "I shouted shut up at him".
I wasn't going to let him stand their and rip me apart.
I had just killed 25 strigoi.
And I could feel a burning pain in my stomach. I looked down I was bleeding pretty badly.
He was holding his stake still in his hand.
Covered in blood.
I can't believe it he bloody stabbed me.
Trying to kill a strigoi behind me.
I really don't know how he managed it.
He looked down at my stomach and saw the gapeing hole.
He then looked at his stake. He had finally realised what he had done.
I seriously would have punched him, if I didn't think I was going to miss him. Because of the pain in my body.
He outstretched his hand to grab me. I stepped back and hissed. He looked confused.
I saw Luke running towards me. He spoke in Greek "Δυστυχώς, είδαότιείχατετελειώσει καιτηλεφώνησεοΑλχημιστής. Πίστευαότιθασώσειτηδουλειά.Φαίνεσαιστονπόνο."
(Sorry, I saw that you had finished and phoned the Alchemist. Thought I would save you the job. You look in pain.)
I looked down at my bleeding stomach. He took a sharp intake of breath.
This seemed to break Dimitri out of his staring contest with my stomach.
He spoke in English "Come to my house I will sort you out, since I may have caused this."
May have caused it? What is wrong with him?
I nodded in reply.
I followed him into the house using Luke as a support.
He took me into the kitchen but of course I knew were that was.
Dimitri looked on autopilot.
He put his hands straight out to remove my helmet. I pulled back.
I saw Lissa staring at me. She walked straight towards me hand held out in front. I shouted "No".
I couldn't deal with the darkness right now.
She looked puzzled.
I mumbled "Sorry your Majesty"
She smiled- but I could tell it was forced.
I saw Yeva staring at me. She spoke "Приветвнука. Нужно ли вамиглувпотоке? Иповязкупотому что каждый разя вижувас,вы, кажется,кровотечениев этойкухне."
(Hello grandchild. Do you need a needle in thread? And a bandage because every time I see you, you seem to be bleeding in this kitchen.)
I smiled beneath the helmet. I replied "Яне думаю, чтокаждый раз, когдаябылвслышитеменя естькровь. Ядумаю, что этокак раз случается бытьбольше всего.Дая могу, пожалуйста, некоторыеиглыи нитки-любой цветнебудет делать.Аможетты принесешь мненазадядалвампакет?"
(I don't think every time I have been in here I have bled. I think it just happens to be most. Yes could I please have some needles and thread- any colour will not do. And can you bring me the back pack I gave you?)
Yeva laughed at my colour comment. And said she would bring my backpack.
By this point everyone was in the kitchen all staring at me.
Dimitri who had been staring at his feet, looked up.
Yeva came back in with pink thread and a needle, and my bag.
She shooed everyone out the room. But Dimitri refused to budge. He even went as far as saying I was a threat to the queen. But his eyes showed me that he knew something.
Probably from the Grandmother comment to Yeva.
Well if he wanted to play a game he would get one.
I asked Luke to leave and he immediately done it because it was a order not a question.
So I went straight to work patching my self up.
I jumped up so I was sitting on the counter. But not before whimpering with the pain.
I ….. Set out everything I would need to patch myself. After everything was in order.
I looked up to see him glaring at me through his guardian mask.
I came straight out with the Hathaway comment in a loud confident voice. "What is your problem? I haven't done anything to you. You were the one who stabbed me."
He replied straight away- this wasn't the man I use to know. His tone was frightening "Well you seem like an idiot. And I don't trust you. And lastly I don't believe that you could of killed all the strigoi out their. It's impossible…"
And this point he had seemed to gone of on a rant.
By the time he had stopped thinking or fighting with himself mentally I had removed my leather jacket.
And was trying to find a way to hid my tattoo because I had a low vest on- your remember the heart I was talking about.
And I was still wearing my helmet.
But then he who shall not be named outburst brought me out my thought.
"You're the machine"
"The who?" I said playing along.
Before I could react he had me pinned against the cupboards.
I cried in pain.
I shouted at him to get off but he ignored me until, I said
"What did you not get about stabbing me I'm dying here. Let go of me. You don't want another death or your hands do you?
I know it was cruel but I was fuming at the fact he had man handled-me.
Second I was bleeding in his kitchen at a fast rate.
Dimitri did one last thing before stepping away. He pulled the helmet off.
What gave him the right to do that?
Now he would know who I am. Crap.
So in return I back handed him. Then to fix that I punched him in the nose.
This was pay back for earlier, he still had his latest actions punishments to come.
He groaned when my fist came in contact with his nose.
His first move was to grab a cloth and hold it to his face.
He hadn't even realised who I was yet. – This was an achievement in its own right.
So I thought that I better patch myself up before I died in this bloody kitchen. No pun intended.
I decided that if stitched myself hunched over he wouldn't seem my tattoos or face win win.
Half way through my completion of the perfect stitching.
He started mumbling "That was a mean right hook".
I giggle and smiled.
I finished the last two stitches and looked up.
And his eyes met mine.
When and where did he get that bag of frozen peas from?
I know I shouldn't be worry about that. But I was curious. I looked up at him again shaking my head.
His mouth dropped open.
Crap now he knows that it is me.
But an advantage is that he may choke on a fly and die before he tells anyone else.
But I don't want him to die, because I love him. Crap I am badass I shouldn't be soppy,
But he never said anything.
I jumped off the counter. Groaning.
I pulled my vest off and replaces it with a t-shirt out the bag .
I literally threw my leather jacket on zipped it up. Scooped everything in to the backpack.
I glanced back at him.
He was still leaning against the counter staring at me with his ice pack.
I walked in to the living room to hear about 3 different gasps.
I saw Yeva sitting in the corner.
I walked over and kissed her cheek. She smiled at me and whispered
"He will find you. Stop running."
I was already advancing to the door when I said " It's my thing to run Grandmother."
Lissa was running towards me.
I opened the door to see Adrian smoking. He laughed. I winked at him.
And continued to run. Well kind of running hard when you have been stabbed.
By your ex lover who your still madly and deeply in love with. But they don't feel the same way.
I could see Luke in the distance standing under the spot light of the plane.
Adrian shouted "See you soon Little Dhampir, in person I mean."
Since leaving the court he hadn't dream walked with me once. Which I felt gutted about. I missed his dream stalking.
Wait did he say in person?
I yelled back at him "Bring my helmet with you. That is if you can find me"
I could almost swear I heard him say "It is definite. See you in around 12 yours."
I got to the spot where Luke was standing the rope-like-ladders of the plane fell. He grabbed on.
I turned to see Dimitri running catching up with us.
I stepped on to the first step of the ladder.
The plane took off.
I just stared at Dimitri with my Guardian mask.
He threw his frozen peas down.
And then his Guardian mask crumpled down.
Hope you liked chapter.
Review please. It's the only way for me to know if this story is the sort of thing you want to read.
I am also willing to take any ideas for later on in this story. Xx RubixCubeKid.
