Rose's POV
"Rachel, could you come in here for a minute?" asked a friendly voice from within the door.
"Of course." I said, and strong hands picked me up and led me into the room.
Unusual quietness hung in the room and I sat down.
"What do you need me for?" I asked kindly.
Quiet was all I got.
Dimitri's POV
A white light was all that was on the camera. We couldn't see anything but that light. Was there a technical difficulty? I stiffened, as did the rest of the room.
"What's going on?!" shouted Rebecca.
I had learnt that everyone who worked at the Dollhouse didn't like to be blind. They had to know how everyone was going at every second of every minute. I would too, I suppose, if I was in charge of people's lives in more ways than one.
The light disappeared, returning with a man and a flashlight.
Ah. He was checking her pupils for the light. To prove if she actually blind.
Everything was dark, but we could see perfectly.
Guns. Ammo. Bombs. The lot. Everywhere!
"Did they find out?" I asked.
Rebecca fiddled with some keys and switches to find the answer.
"Rachel. There are many people in this world, bad people, people who want to kill us. Would you kill us?" said the speaker.
"Of course not. Strigoi are my family. They have been for a long time." Rose replied.
"Are you sure you aren't you working for the guardians?"
I stopped breathing. They didn't have a lie detector, but she wasn't that good at lying.
She didn't even hesitate. "Of course not. You are my family." She said smoothly.
Rebecca turned off the speaker and everyone relaxed.
We all saw the man nod and relaxed even more.
He turned to the girl who had called her and nodded.
She left, but very shortly came back with a gun.
"GET HER OUT OF THERE!" I screamed. He was going to shoot her!
"Calm down." Rebecca shushed. "We want to see where this is going before we jump to the bat."
He pointed the gun at her head while she sat there, oblivious of what was about to happen.
Suddenly, the screen went blank.
"We lost her." Some one said.
Rebecca pressed a button on her walkie talkie immediately and told whoever was on the other line that we were going in.
Rebecca and I rushed out of the van to greet the others, about fifty other guardians, and we all ran down the street quietly.
Apparently, not quiet enough.
The Strigoi were lined up outside the house and waiting for us.
We all attacked.
