I have made y'all wait to long over the last chapter so im breaking it up the next chapter shouldn't take so long.

Im sooo sorry please forgive me. :(

But anyways heres part one. Enjoy

I looked over a him bewildered "Since when did we have alarms?" I asked running towards the sound.

"Since yesterday. The Queen had them put up so we could have a early warning system." Was his reply.

Me and about twenty other Guardians made our way to the wards. I signaled for them to spread out and do a quick check of the perimeter. I was running threw some trees when I heard a twig snap. I put all my sense out towards the sound. I knew it wasn't a Strigio I would have sensed it right away. But it could still be anything. The only blade I had on me was my switch blade. I slide it out of my back pocket and flipped it open running towards the footsteps I heard. I jumped over and almost stabbed...Dimitri.

"What the hell you almost got your self killed." I yelled.

"Im sorry I thought I heard something but things are all clear. There was a stake in the ground about a mile over. They think it was just a test to see how fast we would react."

I nodded my heading knowing that would be something Damon would do. We doubled checked everything while the wards were being put up again. I left Dimitri in charge so that I could go check on Tatiana.

I walked threw the hall to the thrown room where she should be and there were no Guardians any where I was pissed. But when I opened the door I was almost staked by three different Guardians if I didn't have the Strigio blood in me I think they would have killed me but as always I easily dodged out of the way. Tatiana yelled at them to back down and ushered me forward. I nodded my head to the guardians as I passed with respect what they did was right on the money and I was proud of that.

"It was just a test." I said as I walked up.

She sighed in refilled but I don't know why its daylight so there would be no way they could have made it here alive. "Have the wards been put back in place?"

"Yes they have." I said "Have you heard from Liss? She hasn't called me at all." I asked a little worry its not like her not to call me, Especially when she's shopping.

"Cant say that I have. Where was she last?"

"I told her to stay in Russia because of what will be happening here. I didn't want her in danger."

"That was a good call on your part." she said

Just then her cell phone rang. She picked up and her face went to shock immediately. She didn't say anything she just handed the phone in my direction. I looked at her confused and took the phone.

"Hello?"

"Ah Rose my love. You should really get a phone its hard to contact you now." Came the sarcastic for of you guessed it Damon.

I sighed" What the hell do you want Damon im tri-." I was cut off by a scream.

I knew whose body that scream belonged to. My body froze and im sure I was as pale as a Strigio. "Damon you better tell that is not Lissa." I growled.

"Oh but it is my dear. You told her to stay in Russia that was a bad call on your part. Her little guardians where nothing to me. But her little boyfriend sure did put up a good fight."

At that moment I loved christian not that I would ever tell him that. But if Damon said that about him Christian didn't let them have Liss until he was knocked out.

"Where is she Damon?"

"She will be there tonight I promise you. This will be the last battle Rose so be ready. Tonight one of us will die." He said then hung up the phone.

I could feel that sicking feeling rising up in me again. He had her and it was all my fault I should have had her come with me and none of this would have happened.

I relayed the information about Liss to Tatiana and she as well went ghost white. I promised her that she would make it out of this alive even if that meant my life would be taken. I couldn't let Liss die for my stupid mistakes I would never forgive my self.

A few more words were shared between Tatiana and I before I left. As soon as I walked out of the door Dimitri was leaning against the wall waiting for me. He saw the haunted look and got worried.

"What happened?"

"Lissa." Was all I said.

He walked up to me and embraced me. "Rose don't worry we will get her back." He said so determined.

I pulled away "No I will. This is my mess and Im going to fix it." I said with the same determination Dimitri had "Will you get every one back in the gym for me please."

He nodded. I smiled at him and lent up and kissed his lips sweetly. Even with all the shit that is going to be going down in a couple of hours being with Dimitri always made everything seem alright.

"I love you." I said against his lips.

He smiled against mine "As I love you."

We broke apart and went separate ways. I went to the gym and waited. About ten minutes later people started to pile in. I waited another five before I started to speak.

"Okay we have about four hours before dusk. Two which you will be here and the other two will be securing your and any other Moroi. Damon will be going after them " I looked around the crowd and found Dimitri's eyes he nodded for me to continue "Now im sure by now all of you know that the cure has been finished. If not well it has I have tested it myself. Durning this fight some of you may get turned. If you wish not to stay that way come find me and I will get you changed back. If you do not wish because of what I have taught you I will hunt you down myself and kill you." I said. The whole crowd was silent staring in amazement at me. I waited for any questions and none came. So I got to work.

I started off showing them how to better there staking which way would be easier for them to kill one if another was upon them. Just because I don't have a stake does not mean I don't know how to use one. Everyone caught on quickly with this so I moved and stayed on how to move and fight them. I taught them the things that Damon had taught me. This is being the reason why I would have to hunt them down if any of them got turned. As Tatiana said 'we can not have another Damon running around.

By the time the two hours were up every one was ready to drop as I thought they would be. That is why I only wanted to have them have two hours to rest and get the Moroi safe. I bid every one a goodbye and headed to my room to get my gear on.

Dimitri followed me up to my room. I didn't mind it I wanted to spend as much time with him before the time came. I might die tonight and I want my last moments to be with him. We got into the room and I started to strip I needed a shower I was sweaty. Dimitri's mouth dropped open as I walked to the bathroom swaying my hips just a little bit too much for his satisfaction. I turned around and giggled.

"Will you join me?" I asked batting my eyelashes.

He didn't answer he just ripped his shirt off making me laugh. I walked into the bathroom as he struggled with hi pants. I turned on the water letting it seam up the bath room. I jumped in letting the hot water run all over mussels relaxing them. I felt Dimitri enter and I smiled.

"Hey there handsome." I said opening one eye.

He didn't say anything once again he pulled me close letting our wet body rub against each other. he kissed me like it was the last time he would ever get to. I kissed him back with the same passion because it just might be. Things picked up really quickly and just let me tell you that was the best shower I have ever had.

We got out a little later and dried off. Since I haven't put away any one my clothes I went to my duffle bag and pulled out a pair of black skinny jeans a black long sleeve shirt and some black combat boots. I got dressed adding all my blades to there rightful places. I threw the dagger to the side getting a confused look from Dimitri.

"What are you doing?"

I smiled evilly "Just wait."

I went over to my dresser pulling out a big black box. I went back over the the bed where Dimitri laid and handed him the box. He opened it and looked back up at me amazed.

"There throwing blades." He stated.

"Not just any throwing blades. They are sliver and have been charmed. they work just like a stake. Tatiana gave them to me the day I became the Number One." I said.

I pulled out two pouches of twelve in each they wrapped around my legs. There handles had hearts on them and I loved them very much. This would be the first time I will be using them and I cant say that I wasn't excited the least bit. I stepped back and Dimitri eyed me "I would be scared if I was a Strigio. You look like a avenging angel."

I cocked my head to him "What?"

"Nothing never mind. Come on we don't have long before dusk and I have to go get ready."

I nodded and we made our way out the door.

Love It? Hate It? Just let me know..:)
