Lissa POV

How long have I been sitting here?

I can't even think about one thing at a time as I sat on the grass in front of the gate. My thoughts were bouncing off the walls in my head.

How long has it been since they left? Where's Christian and Adrian? I'm surprised they aren't trying to get me inside.

The sun is hard on my eyes. It's directly in front of me, about to set. Where are the guardians?

Everybody should be sleeping, but Alberta came by every twenty minutes to check on me. She just stood there behind me on the grass. Maybe she's waiting for them to return too..

Staring at the gate, I heard footsteps behind me and turned my head. That's just about the only movement I've done in the past two hours. Alberta came and sat beside me. She too, was watching the gate. "I don't want to lose anyone else" she said. To me? To herself? I didn't know, I just kept my attention at the gate.

Suddenly figures came into, but it was hard to make out who was who because they were in alignment with the sun. Some people came out from the school. I didn't see any moroi other than myself, just dhampirs.

I could just barely make out three stretchers. Please let Rose be in one of those... I saw Janine and Stan supporting a limping Eddie in between them. He must have been alive in the cave..

Then Dimitri came into view. He had is stone guardian face on.

Some people cried when they came in. Some recognized the ones on the stretchers. Janine's face was wet with tears as she passed me to bring Eddie to the infirmary. She grasped my hand firmly. I could see the pain clearly in her eyes.

I ran to the first stretcher. There was a blonde-haired guardian I saw from time to time in the dining hall. I didn't waste time to run over to the next stretcher. There was a blood covered dhampir laying there.

I peeled beck the cover to the stretcher and revealed a female dhampir with dark chestnut hair. But it was not Rose. I would recognize Rose anywhere and that was not her. I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and a familiar, husky voice whispered into my ear.

"Her body wasn't there Liss. I'm so sorry." I turned around in the persons arms and cried as he held me. Don't I ever run out of tears?

Christian POV.

I just stood there and let Lissa weep in my arms. It hurt me to see her like this. Not just emotionally hurt, physically hurt. My chest ached when she would cry.

But this wasn't just crying.. it was awful, heart-wretching crying. And she had been doing it ever since the guardians came back without Rose among them.

After the guardians left to find the bodies left behind, he followed them to the caves. He kept a safe distance away, but close enough to tell which way they were going. I'm actually very surprised they didn't catch me. You know, them being highly trained guardians and all...

The guardians huddled into a group and discussed what I thought was strategy, what they were going to do once inside the caves. I was behind a big, wild berry bush and couldn't hear a word they said.

Once they went in, I waited. No one came out for a while but then one group came out, carrying a blonde-haired dhampir. I saw her every now and then in the dining hall, but I never really knew her name.

When the group of guardians took her off to the side to a stretcher, I made my move.

I approached the mouth of the cave, hands ready in case I needed to use my fire. I looked around to see what I would be walking in to. And trust me, it was not pretty.

There was blood splatters all over the cave and pieces of flesh in random places. I'm pretty sure I even saw part of a finger... I struggled to keep my food inside my body.

I started to walk through the cave, passing a few chambers along the way. I quickly pressed himself to the wall when I heard voices coming from the back of the cave. Everything was echoing through the cave, so I wasn't sure if I was even close to the source of the voices. All I could do was keep walking forward to find out.

By then I could make out the words that were being said and the voices speaking, so he must be close enough now. I heard Guardian Hathaway's voice as I made his way to the back. Then a high pitched, girly voice that I didn't recognize.

"... having a rank in the Strigoi Court really is time consuming."

What the hell? Strigoi have their own court? Since when? Did the guardians keep this from us?

I carefully glanced over the corner and was met by a 5 foot boulder. Beyond that boulder, was a guardian I didn't know, Janine, Stan, Dimitri, and a dark figure holding a body.

I slipped around the corner and behind the big boulder so I could get a better view of what's happening. I kept his ears sharp to listen to the conversation. The guardian I didn't recognize asked the shadowed figure a question and I could see the figure stiffen. Then she screamed at the guardian.

"How dare you insult my father. He is great; he is powerful! Nobody stands a chance against him!"

Then she moved in an instant. Not even giving time to blink, she dropped the body she was supporting and ripped off the head of the guardian. It tore of with a sickening sound and once again, I tried to keep his food inside his stomach. I could now see the figure clearly. It was a woman with long, black hair. Her eyes flashed red in the darkness of the cave. Strigoi.. My stomach queezed a little when I saw her eyes.

Dimitri launched himself forward to retrieve the body that she dropped, but the strigoi was faster than him. She picked him up by his duster like he was a mere piece of paper and tossed him to where he was sitting before. Then, I realized that the body she had must be a hostage, so whoever it is, was still alive. After all, it wasn't a normal sight that you saw guardians sitting patiently for a strigoi.

"Naughty guardian. I didn't tell you to move yet.. I'm still telling you all about my sister!" I could tell she was used to having the attention on her. Once she was sure she had their attention she continued,

"Anyways, Ashleigh is in a very high position in the Strigoi Court. She can do anything she wants really... But lately, she's been getting really lonely. I was busy with my work so I couldn't be with her. So she started to go on a search to find someone powerful enough to have by her side in court. Of course, this person has to be very powerful to be able to work directly for Daddy so she searched everywhere. Which is why she got permission to send us here so we can turn someone to be with her. If they weren't, then we'd.. you know... dispose of them."

Again the Strigoi Court came up... What is this court? How come no one has mentioned it before? And.. 'Daddy'? What's going on here?

I heard a voice speak up but I was deep in thought and missed what had been said. Suddenly, the strigoi was jumping up and down happily, while clapping her hands.

"Oh Yes! She's very pretty! She just turned her the other night when all of you were here! She was part of the 'rescue' team."

Rescue team? Turned? Who? I had a sick feeling in my gut.

"Who was it?" A rough voice asked.

The strigoi pouted. Legit pouted. She stuck out her bottom lip as if she were five years old.

"I didn't get a chance to ask her name! Ashleigh turned her as soon as she grabbed her so I didn't get to talk to her! She was reeeaally pretty though! She had looong brown hair in a ponytail. She even had Molnija marks! I think Ash knew the moment she was her that she was strong!"

I zoned out for a few moments and was completely oblivious to the voices around me. The feeling in my gut increased when I realized that she was talking about Rose. Rose was turned Strigoi.. Oh God no. This can't be happening... Lissa will be crushed. Not that she isn't already, but I'm pretty sure anyone would wish for the alternative of being turned.

Rose's mom leaned forward, her head almost touching her knees that she was sitting on.

"Oh dear! Did I say something wrong?" The ditzy strigoi asked with innocent eyes.

God, I had enough of this. This bitch had something to do with Rose being turned. He couldn't hear another moment of the conversation and his vision tinged red.

I straightened and took a step away from the boulder. Then her body was completely engulfed in flames. I could feel the flames tinging her skin and burning away the flesh. Good.. That's what you get.

I didn't get to see what else was happening because next thing I knew, I was sprinting through the caves, back outside. I passed several chambers before the mouth of the cave came into view, sunlight poured in from outside. I heard the pounding of footsteps behind him and noticed that the guardians had caught up with me.

I caught the eyes of Dimitri who looked like he was in pain, not physically, but emotionally. I could see it in his brown eyes. But I also saw the relief flush all over his face. Clearly none of guardians were expecting me to be here. He could also tell that they were all thankful he followed them. Who knows what would have happened otherwise?

Now here I am, holding my girlfriend in my arms while she cried her pretty little heart out. I'm very concerned about how she would handle this.. I feel so powerless. No matter what I say or do, it wouldn't help her in the least. All he could do was lend her his shoulder to cry on.

At least I can do something..

Poor Lissa and Christian.. :( Hell... Poor EVERYONE. But Where's Adrian In All This? I Guess You'll Have To Find Out Soon! ;)
