Chapter Eight

Two days later.

I was in Abe's office with the other Guardians joining this detail. I had gotten Justin Mattox and Alexander Radu, who normally work with me on these kind of jobs. I also had Dimitri Belikov, Elijah Forester, and Kristopher Alto. Belikov was Lissa's actual guradian so he ws in charge of her, while I was in charge of the whole operation. I had to come up with strategies for everywhere we were going and they were easy until I went to explain my tactics.

"Guys we will be going to Baia first and I was informed the the Princess and Guardian Belikov will be staying with the Belikov family while we are there. I have come up with a schedule so two people will be there to watch the perimeter. I will go and work with Belikov at the house first while the rest of you rest up at the hotel rooms we have booked. We should be in Baia for three days. We will leave here at sunrise due to the roads being infested by undead blood suckers at night. I have an SUV we will be taking. Our first night at the house it will be Belikov and I checking perimeter. Next night Mattox and Radu and the last night will be Forester and Alto. I'm not as concerned about the daylight hours." I was looking around looking at all their faces. I had a good relationship with both Mattox and Radu they were like family. I had meet Alto before he was Stan Alto's nephew, which you would never know by their personality. Belikov was my former mentor and Lover whihc made it weird to be around him. Then Forester was new to the bunch he was recommended by Justin since they worked togerther at the academy in Russia. I would be keeping my eyes on both Forester and Alto the whole trip.

Everyone was watching me attentively, I figured they were taking in all my instuctions so I figured it be best to go ahead an tell them what was going to happen in Baia.

"We will be going to a Moroi/Dhampir club in Baia it's known for some bad reputations but the man we are going to see owns the club and wants us to meet there. I want Belikov and Mattox to accompany the princess into the man's office while the rest of us will be throughout the club watching for dangers to the princess. I want us to dress the part. Belikov and Mattox will wear Guardian attire to show they are buusiness. I want the rest of you in something that won't draw attention to you in a club setting. There is one thing I will need you guys to do for me thought, if you see any Moroi trying to hit on me just let it go I am a big girl and can take care of myself. Now I want us all to be ready to go in the morning, so go get packed and rest up. You're dismissed." I watched as everyone started to get up and leave and was finally happy to be alone and have everything taking care of for the moment. I decided it would be good to go head to bed and get a good night sleep.

...

We pulled up in front of the Belikov house and I was nervous, I had a feeling that something was going to happen. I was the first out of the car and was doing a quick look around to make sure everything was ok because it was now dark outside. I nodded towards Dimitri who got Lissa out and took her to the house. I walked to meet them by the door and before Dimitri could knock his grandmother Yeva opened the door. She looked at us and she gave Dimitri a look and said some things in Russian. She nodded to Lissa and ushered them into the house before stepping out and pulling me into a hug.

"Brave Warrior I knew you would return, you know of the recent infestation and you will clear them out I have seen it in my dreams. You are here to take care of the princess but to also save our home again." I smiled at her, I had only meet her once and she told me I was an idiot but now she had confidence in me. I knew she was important to me because I always felt I had to show her I was strong, like I use to be with Dimitri. She smiled at me and started to pull me into the house. "Come Brave Warrior I want you to meet those who you will save and those who have been wanting to meet you."

We went into a living room and everyone was looking at Yeva and me, Dimitri looked very confused about Yeva's actions towards me. Then she said a few things to him and his facial expression changed to his guardian mask. Next she addressed her family. "This is the Brave Warrior I have told you all about, she is the one who will save us from the evil ones." I just smiled, She pointed out everyone and introduced them and they were all really nice. Lissa looked pissed that I was getting all this praise from people I had just meet but I didn't care. After about 20 minutes of talking I got up to go check the peremiter and watch for anything bad.

I was outside the house when I heard someone coming closer I was silent and listened to see if I could figure out who it was. I decided to turn and it was Dimitri he nodded at me and stayed quiet. I went back to walking and looking around. I knew that the Strigoi would know by tomorrow that I and the Princess are in Baia and would try to attack so I need to be ready. I figured tomorrow during the daylight I would go for a raid or twoo to get read of a few known strigoi hide outs. I decide all was clear and went to the house and meet Dimitri who was sitting on the stairs. He never looked up at me so I decided to sit next to him.

"Belikov why don't you go sleep you will be with the Princess tomorrow while I do a few raids with some of the other guys. So you need your rest I will keep a watch for awhile and then I will get you for a trade off of shift." He looked up at me and I could see he seemed sad but you figure he would be happy to be at home. "What is bothering you?" he looked shocked I guess because I asked him whats is wrong.

"Rose don't go raiding places you will be hurt, your here to protect the princess not do some crazy suicide mission." I chuckled at his attempt to make me rethink my plans. "It's not funny your job is protection not extemination. As for what is wrong I just think it's weird how I show up and get antagonized by my grandmother and she praises you. My family thinks your a superhero and they look down on me for what I have done. I just envy you." I just looked at him.

"Dimitri your family loves you, I can tell they do so don't envy me. All they know of me is that I kill Strigoi that raid their towns there are alot of people in Baia who see me that way. I mean your gradmother is the one who found me after the fight. I am sorry I make you feel this way. I use to look at you like a superhero, like a god. I use to want to be just like you but I decided to make my own way and it became my way of life and alot of people know me from my killings I have made they don't know I learned it from you, they don't know I'm just a teacher with a messed up, crazy life. My first year doing my crazy missions I didn't have anything to live for so I decided to do the crazy. I mean I lost you who I was in love with and I lost my best friend at once, actually that day I lost everyone." He looked at me funny like he didnt know what I was talking about so I decided to explain. "I lost you and Eddie to Lissa as her Guardians, Adrian left to go to court telling me I was horrible for messing with Christian, Then Christian left due to heartbreak. I left the academy and came straight to Abe for a job that he had already offered me. Eddie is the only one I kept in touch with he is the only one who believed Chris and me. I mean yeah now we might have something but it's because we both filled the same pain and we still do so we find comfort together. We aren't a couple or anything I won't give into him because I'm scared to open my heart to anyone." I left it right there and before he could say anything I turned and dissapeared into the backyard I decided it was best to leave it alone and so did he because he never came after me.

...

Next day at sunset..

It had been along day we had hit four hide outs and taken out over seventy Strigoi. Only three of us had went and we all three walked away with only scratches and a few bruises. Justin and Alex both had a few bad brusies and I had a bad black eye but I decided a few battle marks weren't bad against what odds we had today. We were all back at our hotel getting showers and getting ready for our task ahead. We were going to the club for Lissa's meeting. Justin was already out of the shower dressed in his Guardian attire, Forster and Alto both had on jeans and tight fit t-shirts. I had picked out a red dress that come above the knees. It hit all my curves just right and showed some clevage, I had my hair down to cover my marks and did some make-up. I was dressed like a normal blood whore minus the excesive make-up. I was playing the part and knew it was going to be an interesting night. After everyone was ready we went to meet Belikov and the princess in the next room to head to the club.

We got to the club and some guys who worked for the boss meet The princess and her two Guards and walked them towards the back to an office. I sent Forester and Alto towards the back of the club in their direction for precautions. I was sitting at the bar watching the crowd and Radu was sitting towards the door. We all stayed in constant contact with the other ones. I was sitting talking to the bartender when I felt an arm wrap around me.

"Hello beautiful, Can I get you a drink?" I turned to see who had put their hands on me and what I seen made me jump alittle. It was none other then Jesse Zelkos. He still looked hot but I'm sure he was the same old asshole he use to be. I just smiled at him and I think I saw recognition on his face.

"Well hello there Jesse still chasing after me I see. I am sorry but I am going to have to pass on that drink I'm working." He looked at me confused and then I think he realized what I was meaning.

"Well Rosie, these years have been good to you. I didn't know they let guardians play dress up or did you finally become a blood whore." He smirked at me and I seen Alex staring at me trying to see if I need his assistance. I looked back at him and nodded and he started walking my way.

"Well Zelkos as revolting as it is talking to you my partner is heading this way and he doesn't like slimy Moroi hitting on me. So I would leave while I could if I was you." He turned to look and saw Alex appear and he quickly walked off. I just smiled at Alex and then busted out laughing. People were looking at me funny but I didn't care I realized that Jesse was still a big woose. Alex stayed near me and I decided to dance so he joined me on the dance floor and we had some fun until we seen Belikov's tall self walking back towards the door. I knew they were done so we headed for the door and meet them there.

We made it back to the car and drove back to the Belikov's to drop off the Princess and her guards for the night. I was just happy to be going back to the hotel to get some sleep. We said our goodbyes and then headed toward the hotel and off to a good nights reast before another trip tomorrow.
